Once Oniki had finally defeated his arch-nemesis, the dreaded piles of paperwork, he set his sights on visiting Ren's training place and offering him a position as his student. Despite his initial reservations, Oniki couldn't help but be impressed by Ren's raw potential and felt a sense of duty to help him realize his full capabilities. However, Oniki was well aware of the challenges that lay ahead. The villagers of the village where they lived had always placed great emphasis on the power of Dust Release jutsu, and Ren's lack of proficiency in this area had raised doubts about his ability to succeed as the inheritor of the position. Many of the villagers were biased towards those who possessed this power, and it was widely believed that the next head of the village would have to inherit the jutsu if they were to gain the support of the people.
Moreover, there was stiff competition for the coveted position, and one candidate in particular, Deidara, was considered a genius and had the full backing of his family. Oniki knew that Ren would have to work twice as hard to prove himself in the eyes of the village and to overcome these biases and prejudices. However, he was convinced that with the right guidance and training, Ren could rise above these challenges and become a worthy successor to the position.
After much contemplation and careful consideration, Oniki made the decision to pay a visit to Ren at his training ground. As he made his way toward the area, Oniki's mind was consumed with thoughts of how he could help Ren achieve his full potential and overcome the challenges that lay ahead.
Oniki knew that training Ren would not be an easy task. Ren had a lot of potentials, but he lacked the experience and knowledge needed to become a formidable force in the village. Oniki was determined to change that. He had spent many years training and honing his own skills, and he was confident that he could pass on his knowledge to Ren and help him become the best version of himself.
As Oniki arrived at the training ground, he was greeted by the sound of Ren's intense training. Ren was putting in the hard work, determined to improve his skills and prove himself to the people of the village. Oniki watched as Ren executed a series of complex jutsu, his movements fluid and precise. Despite the obvious effort he was exerting, Ren showed no signs of fatigue, his determination driving him forward.
After some time, Ren stopped his training and was surprised to see Oniki. He couldn't react for a moment, as he didn't expect the busy village head to have the time to visit him. He was scared for a second, thinking that Oniki had found out his secret. Nevertheless, he greeted him and got a response.
Oniki went straight to the main topic, saying, "I've been watching you for the past six months." Listening to his words, cold sweat rolled down Ren's back as it was exactly six months since he had come to the world, and he thought, "Did he find out?"
Oniki, misunderstanding his fear as nervousness, continued speaking. "I was impressed by your training and dedication to become strong and your comprehending abilities." Listening to this, Ren clamped down and replied, "Thank you, the village head. It is what I do. I wish to help the village prosper."
After listening to Ren's reply, Oniki felt his genuine determination. He decided to continue the conversation further, hoping to offer Ren a valuable opportunity. Oniki said, "I see a lot of potential in you, Ren. Your hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed, and I think it's time to unlock your chakra."
After some conversation, Oniki proposed to unlock Ren's chakra, and Ren felt that it was the right time. He had been focusing solely on his physical training, and his improvement had slowed down. He knew that in order to progress further, he needed to focus on ninjutsu as well.
Ren nodded in agreement, and Oniki promised to guide him through the process and help him every step of the way. Ren felt a newfound sense of purpose, excited to begin this new chapter of his training.
Oniki and Ren continued to talk, discussing the many benefits of unlocking chakra and how it could help Ren become a stronger ninja
After unlocking his chakra, Ren could feel the power coursing through his body. Though it was initially difficult to control, he eventually found that he was able to direct it in the way he wanted. Oniki was impressed with Ren's progress and decided to test his elemental affinities. He handed Ren a chakra paper, which is used to determine what type of elemental power a ninja is most efficient with.
Ren was surprised to see the chakra paper, as he knew that they were difficult to obtain. However, he knew that it was normal for Oniki to have them, given his position as the village head. Oniki explained to Ren how to use the paper, even though Ren already knew the process. Ren didn't want to take any chances, so he followed the instructions carefully and poured his chakra into the paper.
Ren and Oniki were both surprised by the paper's reaction. The paper split into three parts, indicating that Ren had three properties and one part again split into two which indicates he has wind properties. One half of the paper crumbled into dust, showing his proficiency with the earth's elements, while the other half burned with fire. However, the color of the fire was not something they had seen before. It was a blue flame, which was unusual in the ninja world.
Ren acted as if he was confused and didn't know what to make of the blue flame, as He had never heard of anyone having this kind of affinity before. Oniki was also surprised and intrigued by the blue flame, as he had never seen it before either. They both knew that this could mean something big, but they were not sure what it was.
After some thought, Oniki decided that they needed to investigate this further. He told Ren that they needed to keep this discovery a secret for now and that they would work together to uncover the significance of the blue flame. Ren agreed
