At Ren's house, after he told his sister TenTen about leaving the village for training, the young girl's reaction was quite strong!
"What? Brother, you're not taking me with you when you leave the village to train?! Am I not your real sister?!" TenTen wrapped her arms around her chest, her face puffing up like a steamed bun.
"You're not strong enough yet, it's dangerous outside, and Guy-sensei and I won't have time to look after you." Ren patted TenTen's head and said with a smile, "During this time, you should focus on improving your strength here in the village. After you graduate from the Ninja Academy, I'll take you out to play."
"But to make it up to you, I'll give you something fun."
"What fun stuff?" TenTen's curiosity was instantly piqued.
Ren smiled mysteriously, "You'll definitely like it."
"Really?"
TenTen wasn't a willful girl. She quickly got over her displeasure. Adjusting her attitude, she deliberately put on a very proud look and said, "If my brother's things are really good, then I don't mind you not taking me out of the village for training!"
"Good girl, my sister's the best!" A satisfied smile appeared on Ren's face. He then led TenTen to his room.
He had already taken out some low-level ninja tools from his system space: thousands of one-star level kunai, shuriken, and other ninja tools, as well as dozens of two-star level Kusanagi Swords, Heavenly Feather robes, Light Boots, and other items. Of course, there was one more important ring.
"Brother, what is this?"
For girls, the most attractive thing is often beautiful clothes. So the first thing that caught TenTen's eye was the very conspicuous Heavenly Feather robe.
"Wow, what a beautiful outfit!" TenTen's gaze was immediately drawn to the robe.
Ren had long expected this. He took TenTen's hand, then pricked one of her fair fingers with a kunai. TenTen winced, but there was no anger on her face.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Take the blood from your fingertip and try it on this robe."
Although TenTen's heart was full of questions, she still did as her brother said. And the moment she smeared the blood from her finger onto the robe, a sudden flash of white light enveloped the white Heavenly Feather robe. TenTen suddenly felt as if something had connected in her mind. And the white Heavenly Feather robe had already appeared on TenTen's body automatically.
"Okay, so amazing!" TenTen's mouth opened wide, uncontrollable surprise in her eyes. "I'm the owner of this robe? And I know all of its functions! Oh my God! What's going on?"
Ren explained with a smile, "This robe is also a kind of ninja tool I made. You put blood on it and you signed a contract with the robe. Then there are the functions of the robe, which you should already know."
TenTen's eyes narrowed into crescent moons. She couldn't hide her inner joy at all and said with a smile, "Brother, this is the gift you wanted to give me? I really like it! This robe is truly beautiful! And it has so many unique features!"
At this moment, TenTen seemed to make a decision. With a chest that had not yet developed, she declared loudly: "I've decided, I will wear this robe every day from now on!"
"Silly girl." Ren was amused by TenTen's uncharacteristic appearance. He couldn't help but rub her head and say with a smile, "It's not just this Heavenly Feather robe. There are other things; go look at them too. I guarantee you'll love them."
TenTen nodded vigorously, then started looking at the other items.
"Wow, these boots look so good! Pure white with subtle dark lines! Wait... they actually speed me up! It's amazing!"
"This... this ring!! It actually has a storage space! I don't know how much better it is than a weapon storage scroll!"
"Wait, isn't this a Kusanagi Sword?! Brother, are you finally willing to give it to me? I've been eyeing it for ages!"
TenTen's mouth had long since formed an 'O' shape, wide enough to fit an egg! The shock in her eyes was already self-evident! She really hadn't expected her brother to have created so many amazing things! He was simply a genius! And now, he had actually given these things to her! TenTen had completely fallen into a kind of ecstatic joy, as if she had obtained a huge treasure, feeling utterly stunned by this happiness.
"My brother, I'm sure I must be my brother's sister." TenTen said with a serious face, "If you don't have blood, you have to be a sister! Brother, please let me cling to your coattails!"
"Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat! Or if you want something else, I'll buy it for you? Brother, please give me a chance to express myself!"
"You silly girl, what are you thinking about in your little head all day?" Ren found TenTen's eager, almost dog-like behavior both funny and exasperating. He could only gently tap her head and continued to admonish her, "Be serious, I'm explaining things to you."
"Yes!" TenTen nodded immediately as if she had received a military order.
Ren cleared his throat and continued: "Cough, these things are all left to you by me. I guess they will be enough for you to use for a long time."
"These are exploding kunai, clone kunai, and substitution kunai; you've used them before. You also know about things like the Heavenly Feather robe and Light Boots. These are all made by me, and you should know all their functions..." Ren talked to TenTen for a long time.
At this point, an idea suddenly appeared in TenTen's mind, so she couldn't help asking: "Brother... Can these things be sold in our ninja shop?" Her eyes glowed with the fervor of a money-lover! The price of a single kunai was enough to sell it for more than three times the price of ordinary kunai. And the things like the Heavenly Feather robe and Light Boots that her brother had taken out, if they were sold, they would definitely be popular throughout the village and become treasures everyone was eager to buy! If all these ninja tools were sold... that would be quite a fortune! It would be more profitable than being a ninja on a mission!
But this time, Ren shook his head at her. "Sister, these things can't be sold yet. Only you can use them."
TenTen's eyes were full of doubt. Even if her brother was going out for a long time... she couldn't possibly use up so many ninja tools! Wouldn't it be a waste to just leave these expensive ninja tools here?
As if seeing through TenTen's confusion, Ren then explained, "Every man is innocent, but his wealth makes him guilty. If these things were known to people on a large scale, they would always easily lead to the calculations of those with bad intentions. We don't have a powerful ninja protecting our family, so Guy-sensei and I have to leave the village to train. If these ninja tools were sold openly, there would be troubles that you couldn't handle. Besides, even my current strength... is still far from enough."
"No wonder you've built so many ninja tools, but you never said you would sell them." TenTen's understanding was very sharp. Ren had only roughly explained a few words, and she already understood the stakes. So she nodded and said: "I see, brother! I will use these ninja tools to improve my strength, you can rest assured!"
Ren also smiled happily, "Anyway, while I'm not at home, sister, you have to take care of our parents, and you have to look after more things at home. I will often write back, and I will also write to you about interesting things I encountered during my training. Don't worry, before the graduation exam, I'll definitely be back."
When it truly came time to say goodbye, TenTen's eyes suddenly turned red. She threw herself into Ren's arms at once, with a hint of a tearful whine, she said, "Brother, you have to take care of yourself outside! Moreover, you promised me that you will definitely come back before the graduation assessment! You must not lie to me."
Ren smiled, "When have I ever lied to you?"
