Ren was originally annoyed when he first received the order of taking on a pupil, mostly as he did not see how a pupil could help him in achieving his goal for his own power. He was more than happy to not have a student, as they would just get in his way, however his attitude would change when he learned that his pupil was an Uchiha. While he still would prefer to work alone and be able to focus on his own goal, he had a strong pride for his clan and would do anything for a member of the clan, including putting his own goal on hold if need be. It was not that he did not have pride for his village as well, however there were plenty of other far more qualified Jounin in his mind that could serve as a sensei. He simply felt that it wasn't for him, though when it came to Uchiha training there was no one else that he felt was qualified for it. Even if Kimiko was stronger and the clan leader, Ren would never admit that she was better than him, though he still did not have a handle on the genjutsu that the clan was famous for as she had.
As a Jounin, Ren was given a file on his pupil of his shinobi life. He was surprised by the fact that the man was older than he was and still a Genin, considering many Uchiha like himself fast-tracked to Jounin thanks to the sharingan. The man was part of a team before, so this type of two-man cell operation would be different for him. Ren had been trained this way, to work alone or with a single partner as backup, he became a specialist sent in to deal with situations where destruction was necessary, and he thrived. He never had a team to work with, and after the initial training with his Sensei he simply worked alone. It was possible that this transition might be hard, or it could be simple, it all depended on how Maverick was able to adapt to situations. Either way he was going to be a more hands on trainer compared to his own sensei, tough training, something that it seemed Maverick was lacking with his team. Ren could not allow there to be a weak Uchiha, he would push the man to his limits and then beyond them as that was the only way that he would be able to improve. Of course, first Ren needed to figure out what the man was capable of. Ren would send Maverick a message, just a small note from his new sensei telling him to meet at the training facility.
Maverick Uchiha, You are to report to the Grand Konoha Training Facility at dawn tomorrow for Evaluation and Assessment. Ren Uchiha |
Ren would already have the room within the facility reserved for them and be waiting within for Maverick to arrive, dressed in his blue kisode with his white sweetsilk cloak draped over his shoulders. The Uchiha clan symbol large upon the back of the cloak, though normally the inside of the cloak would be full of the small tools that he used on occasion, today it would be empty. He had no need to have them considering he was only training, even singing tempest would be left at home. He was curious to see what Maverick was capable of, as well as how fast he was able to adapt to situations. It would all be a test of his commitment as a shinobi.
