The tiny amount of sage chakra had caused whatever ecial about Ren to qualitatively shift forward as the amount of chakra I sensed in it grew by a rge amount as the sage chakra dissolved into Ren. Alongside this increase in chakra Ren itself grew which was a bit of an issue as now my scorpion was the size of a medium sized dog oh. It was only at that point that I learhat it was a chakra beast or even what a chakra beast was for that matter.-

  I knew what chakra was since I had asked my grandmother about the weird people you occasionally saw running across the rooftops in the vilge. She had expio me about ninja or shinobi depending on what you wao call them. How they used a type of special energy called chakra to perform amazis beyond what us normal folk could even begin to prehend. My parents had been ninjas apparently and died because of the ails atta the vilge. I had pestered my grandmother about ninjas after that as I could tell it would be VERY important information ter.-

  Anyways jump forward to today whewo people from ninja s came to see me and I ying with Ren as they talked with my Grandmother.

  "Do you know if he has shown any signs of his chakra being active?" The Inuzuka woman asked seriously.

  "Not that I tell but i was never a ninja so i wouldn't know the first thing about such things. Perhaps his parents had something to do with it?" My grandmgested.

  "Hmm , I suppose it's possible if the mother used chakra while pregnant on a regur basis." The calm voice of the Aburame ninja said seriously.

  "We have some ways to test it but we would o separate him from the emerald scorpion first." The Inuzuka woman said calmly.

  My grandmhed "I wish I could help sihat thing makes me nervous but they are practically inseparable. Be warhough Kenzo is fiercely protective of the thing and it is of him as well so if you upset him it may attack." she warned worriedly.

  "We read the report and will be careful." the Aburame said with a nod.

  The pair walked over to where I was and I looked at them warily while moving in front of Ren. The woman smirked at that but held up her hands to show that she meant no harm. I didn't rex though as I could sense a rge amount of chakra in both her and the mao her.

  "Hello Kenzo. My name is Mitami Inuzuka and this is Aoi Aburame. We came after we heard about the unusual friend you have here." Mitami said introdug herself.

  "I heard what you told gram gram , you 't have Ren!" I said trying to be fierce but probably looked adorable instead. Stupid child body.

  Mitami chuckled at my words "Ren the scorpion huh? Not a bad all. You keep Ren I promise but you o leave it here for a little while okay?" she asked with a smile.

  I looked for any signs of treachery before looking at my grandmother who nodded encingly at me.

  "Okay , Ren stay!" I told the scorpion and uhe astonished gaze of all the adults Reled in p the tatami floor with a few clicks of it's mouth parts.

  Mitami and Aoi exged excited looks before leadiside with my grandmother following behind. The small grass covered wn was nid sunny a niy feet as i walked(wobbled really) across it. Mitami pulled out a green scroll that when she unrolled had a bunch of strange squiggly lines on it. To my surprise I felt her chakra move into the lines and in a puff of smoke a few items appeared out of nowhere holding my full attention.-

  "Now then Kenzo could you hold this for me?" Mitami asked holding out a small gss bead that had swirling blue stuff in it.

  I cautiously took the thing from the woman and immediately dropped it in surprise when i felt my chakra get pulled into it. Both of the ninjas looked excited when I did this though which made me give them a weird look.

  *cough* "Don't worry about it Kenzo how about you pick it up again but hold onto it tight this time okay?" Aoi said after coughing awkwardly and fixing his expression.

  I picked up the gss bead again and flinched a little whehing started drawing in my chakra but didn't drop it again. The blue in the marble started to swirl faster and faster before the gss cracked uhe surprised expressions of the two ninjas when a tiny amount of sage chakra touched it.

  "It broke." I said fused as I looked at it.

  Mitami took the bead bad stared at it in fusion with Aoi doing the same before they both looked at me oddly.

  " I go py with Ren now?" I asked bored already and they nodded so I left.

  After that they spoke with my grandmain before leaving and they didn't e back again until nearly a week ter with another ninja and a bunch of animals for some reason. I got introduced to all of the animals o a time and was surprised to see that they were all chakra beasts like Ren and might have gotten a bit greedy. I wanted all of them and like any kid threw a temper tantrum when I was told no.-

  It was a small problem I had after getting reborn as I was being effected by my body in a mental capacity and couldn't think the way I used to before i died oh. If I did I probably would have noticed that I had drawn the sort of attention I wao avoid on act. You e surprised then to find out that I had been adopted with my grandmothers permission by Mitami and Aoi who were apparently a married couple. Acc to them they used to be on a squad together and ended up in a retionship at some point.-

  The new house was hough and there was even a sandy area in the yard that Ren seemed to enjoy burying itself. I found out ter that Mitami had a ninken or ninja dog that was called Yokubo and erson sized hound with soft cream colored fur and brown ears. Ren and Yokubo were not friends at all. The hound was great with me but almost dht hostile to Ren and so they never really ied very much.-

  It probably didn't help that Ren was still growing if much slower than before and had even gotten nearly as big as Yokubo by the time I was five. I ended up in trouble with my new parents a few times when I rode Ren to school since I didn't feel like walking. The teachers and other kids parents freaked out for some reasoime I did which fused me because Ren was a good scorpion, never hurt a fly. ht I made a new friend too, a kid with yellow hair that kept getting bullied for some reason but was actually really nice. His name was Naruto and my new parents had funny looks when I told them about him.
