Chapter 6: Strawberry

"Um!" Hinata nodded vigorously. After that time she was rescued by Varen, he often "opened a small window" for her alone and taught her various fighting skills. But it was of no use. Although Hinata had good qualifications, she lacked confidence. She also gave up easily and was extremely shy in front of the people she liked. This made Varen very helpless.

Although he often taught Hinata how to practice, Hinata would always secretly look at him with a red face in the middle of practice. Throwing a shuriken always missed the target because of distraction. Instructing physical skills at close range, she blushed and fainted. After being scolded by Varen, she just cried and stuttered, promising to do it next time. The result was still the same next time.

Then Varen gave up. People like Hinata could only rely on Naruto's belief to infect and trigger change. Although Varen could also do this, he felt ashamed of it. So, he decided to use another method to make Hinata stronger: to give her power directly!

When Hinata's strength skyrocketed, her self-confidence would come naturally. With confidence, everything would be easier. Varen could slowly and deeply train her, making her a great ninja.

"Very good. You come with me," Varen locked the door of the bookstore and took Hinata to the bedroom on the second floor. "This power comes from a phantom beast, which is very powerful." Varen pulled Hinata and asked her to sit down. Then he took out the "Pikachu" card.

"Moreover, this power has two forms. One is the ordinary form. In this case, it will only show that you are strong, but others simply don't see why you are strong. The other is the fantasy beast mode. Once you turn on this mode, your strength will increase dramatically.

At the same time, the body also undergoes changes. Transform into a giant fat yellow mouse. In this way, your identity will be exposed. Everyone knows that there is a fantasy beast inside you. In the short term, you have to stay in the shadows. Therefore, if your life is not in danger, do not turn on the fantasy beast mode."

"Why?" Hinata was a little confused.

"Because many people want this phantom beast. They know you have it, so they want to catch you and take away this phantom beast. Do you remember when Cloud Shinobi Village wanted to abduct you when you were a child?"

"Um..." Hinata nodded sadly. She thought of the peeping glances from other villagers. "I remember."

"Good!" Varen nodded, and then directly threw the "Pikachu" card out. Hinata's treatment was completely different from that of Karin and Rin. Karin and Rin needed to sign a contract.

After Varen completely controlled their souls, he could drive the Pokémon card into their bodies. But Hinata didn't need to sign. Because he trusted Hinata. After all, she had been a "child bride" since childhood. Moreover, he did not want to tell her about the Pokémon Pavilion for the time being.

"Just have a good sleep." Varen put Hinata, who had turned into a Jinchūriki and fainted, on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Then Varen pinched her face again and walked toward the third floor. Just then, Nohara Rin called his name. Apparently, after nearly a day of thinking, Nohara Rin had agreed to join the organization.

"It seems that you have figured it out?"

"Yes, Holy Lord." Nohara Rin lowered her head to show her submission. Originally, she didn't want to join this weird and powerful organization. But the organization was simply too powerful and overbearing. There was no room for her to resist. In order to see Kakashi and Obito again, she decided to temporarily agree to join this organization.

"But..." Nohara Rin suddenly raised her head and looked at Varen firmly. "If the Holy Lord asks me to kill someone, or asks me to do something that I am very resistant to, I would refuse the assignment very firmly. Even if you torture me to death, you can resurrect me and continue torturing me. I won't give in either!"

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me." Varen's eyes turned cold when he heard this. He used his invincible power directly in the bookstore. He used gravity to force Rin's face to the floor.

"Woooooooo..." Only Nohara Rin's head was suppressed. She could continue to move other parts. So she struggled on the floor, but it was of no use at all. In the end, she could only look at the expressionless Varen helplessly, letting him suppress her.

"Don't think so badly about the organization." Varen suddenly withdrew his strength. The voice was not as cold as before. "I won't force you to do something you don't want to do. But it's not because I'm intimidated by your backbone. But I don't bother to do it. However, if you dare threaten the organization with anything at all, your fate will be worse than life or death. And you won't be the only one who suffers. Everyone you care about will too."

"Yes Sir..." Rin gasped frantically. She wiped the corners of her mouth with blood and looked at Varen. Her heart was pounding. Varen's momentum just now was really terrifying. Whenever she thought of Varen's eyes, she felt cold all over.

"I was so stupid. He is a terrifying existence that can resurrect the dead! I must never directly resist or offer opinions in the future. Otherwise, Kakashi and Obito may be in danger..." Rin took a deep breath. Then she half-knelt on the ground. She saluted Varen with the etiquette of a ninja seeing their leader.

"Subordinate, please see the Holy Master!"

"Let's give you a code name." Varen nodded slightly, "You are a core member. You can choose your own code name. The codename cannot be changed and must be a plant."

"Stra....Strawberry!"

"Very good." Varen nodded. Then with a flick of his hand, he threw the Pokémon card out.

…

Time passed slowly. Soon it was late at night. Hinata was already awake. After waking up, she was driven home by Varen. Rin also woke up early. However, she was locked in the attic by Varen. In his conception, every time the organization takes action, at least two or more core members are required. So, before finding a suitable teammate for Rin, he would not let her out.

And at this moment, he was going out at night, preparing to resurrect a new subordinate.
