13 Single Genin Corps
Immediately after shouting 'Fang Over Fang', Kiba turned into a tornado of wind, propelling through the air toward Rem like a shooting rocket.
Rem knew if he got hit with such an attack, coupled by the force of momentum gotten from each spin It would get dangerous. The plan was bullying Kiba, not showing him the full extent of his abilities.
Rem jumped backward and Kiba halted in front of Akamaru, leaving his whirlwind like state to lean against his comrade.
"You have done a lot, Akamaru," Kiba said, "Let me take it from here,"
As Kiba assured Akamaru, Rem couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the Inuzuka… How was he supposed to know that he was going to get clapped?
Kiba turned to face Rem, his eyes red with rage as he proceeded to Rem on all-fours.
'I think that's the running stance for the Inuzuka Taijutsu,' Rem thought as Kiba rushed at him and aimed a kick for his chest.
Rem dodged the attack rather easily by leaning to the right and Kiba took the chance, with his heightened senses, He quickly appeared at Rem's side and aimed to slash him but Rem's response was unexpected.
The boy had predicted Kiba would do something like that, so he already anticipated Kiba's moving hand and he instantly grabbed it, stopping it in it's tracks.
'His grip… is strong,' Kiba thought, his eyes widening in alarm.
Rem's free hand pushed through the air and slammed into his stomach, making the Inuzuka double up in pain.
"Don't think I'm done," Rem said.
Kiba felt dread welling up in his insides as Rem let go, only to give him another punch right across the face. Kiba couldn't react as Rem kept hitting him with a combination of punches and kicks- something that he found very hard to read.
'So this was what he did to Akamaru,' Kiba thought as he was on the receiving end of Rem's Academy Taijutsu.
Rem didn't give him enough time to gather his thoughts and just continued his assault, which was why this was so dangerous.
Locked in a repeating frame where he couldn't do anything to counter. It was….
"Annoying," Kiba mouthed and moved to intercept Rem.
Rem's eyes widened for a moment as Kiba kicked him, aiming for his face. Rem quickly pushed the kick to the side and gave the Inuzuka a punch across the face.
"Heh, You can't keep up," Rem said.
He was having fun bullying the Inuzuka but everything had to end at some point, Kiba growled as he lashed out his claws in an effort to attack but Rem effortlessly dodged them once again, aiming a roundhouse kick right to Kiba's face.
The kick connected and Kiba was sent flying backward, colliding with Akamaru's body.
"If you want to beat me, You have to train harder than you ever have," Rem commented while walking away.
'I'm bored,' Rem thought.
#####
Today's training had been about testing his limits and he was satisfied with the results, Shortly after he had gone to beat up Kiba which brought some happiness to his heart- The Inuzuka was one of the most proudest people in the class and also one of the most annoying.
Rem landed on a lamp post and surveyed the street of Konohagakure.
"Exercising sometimes is good," Rem muttered as he shot through the air once again.
He still had some time on his hands, which he planned on using to visit the Hokage.
He jumped from building to building with a burst of speed, the Hoakge's office could be seen, It's massive towering figure a stark contrast to the small buildings that were around the village of Konohagakure.
#####
After awakening the blue screen, Rem had gained a passive ability that didn't show in his status.
He could sense Chakra signatures just like a Sensory Ninja but it went beyond that, When an Opponent was hiding or concealing him / herself using a Jutsu… There would always be a thin lining of Chakra around their bodies.
With this ability, No one could sneak up on him undetected. It was impossible…
That's why he could see the ANBU ninja surrounding the Hokage's office at all sides.
"Lord Hokage," Rem spoke with respect.
It was not easy to be the Hokage, the towering amount of Paperwork one had to do was tremendous and not to mention the village revolved around the Hokage, the people depended on the Hokage and the Hokage helped the people.
All that stress was not something an old man like Hiruzen Sarutobi could handle which is why he took the peaceful route.
Rem for one knew that Konohagakure was one of the most dangerous villages to ever exist, Not only did they have extremely powerful Jonin and state-of-the-art Chunin, the Hokage was the most powerful now.
But in this era, Konohagakure's combat power is depreciating quickly, At this rate, they might as well be overthrown by Suna.
"Take a seat," Hiruzen said, pointing to a vacant chair.
"Sure Sir," Rem said and took the seat, he sweatdropped. He had sensed the ANBU soldiers tense up as he sat down.
It was true though, He was from the village of Sunagakure and for all everyone knew, he could be a spy. Rem would feel the same way too, just because they had a peace treaty on didn't mean that they wouldn't be wary of him.
"Lord Hokage, good evening," Rem said, "I came to thank you once again for allowing me to be a part of the Ninja academ, in the final year class despite me being a Civilian,"
Hiruzen gave Rem a fatherly smile, but it did the opposite of it's intended purpose. Rather than spreading warmth, It instilled a sense of annoyance in Rem. He was one of the strongest Ninja known to this generation but that Fatherly smile reminded Rem of the fact that it was because of this man that Konohagakure was reduced to this.
Sure it was a peaceful village but how long would this peace last? Sunagakure was planning to use this weakness to attack the village at it's weak point, Then what would Hiruzen do?
When the full power of the Ichibi would be unleashed in the center of the village… What would Hiruzen do?
"Is that all you wished to talk about, Rem," Hiruzen said with a wide smile.
"Yes, I came to ask for a little bit of a favour," Rem said.
The Hokage of Konohagakure nodded.
"Lord Hokage, After the Graduation exams and the True Genin exams," Rem said, "I want to request to be a single Genin Corps,"
Being a single Genin corps was rare, It was a Genin without a sensei neither team mates. Single Genin Corps members can participate in the Chunin exams as singular participants or they can partner up with another group but inherently it was a very dangerous lifestyle, In a Genin mission, Anything could happen while you were outside the village- a life threatening situation could also occur and with no team mates to back you up, There was a high chance of losing your life but Rem was surely aware of the implications.
'There must be a certain reason,' Hiruzen thought.
For Rem to want to become a Single Genin corps, There were ways he could support Sunagakure like that- But Hiruzen had made an extensive research on Rem's background, with the little information he was able to extract… He could only assume that Rem would not betray the trust of the Hidden Leaf Village.
"Why of course Rem, my boy," Hiruzen said and Rem smiled, he bowed slightly.
"Thank you Lord Hokage," Rem said while leaving the office.
Hiruzen's demeanor changed in an instant as he pulled the pipe to the side of his mouth and let off a puff of smoke.
"Lord Hokage, do you want him to be watched?" Yugao asked, her face was concealed within her mask.
"No, He is just a child," Hiruzen replied, "Let him be,"
Hiruzen was too trusting and that was why Rem hated him, a regular person would be wary of him after all asking for a Single Genin Corps position was nothing less than Suicide.

Rem arrived home and found his apartment house, for one of the first times in history completely spotless.
He gazed upon Kurenai, his eyes going wide a little as he spied her status page.
'She gained a new skill, Cleaning,' Rem thought.
And it was already at LV. 3!
"Is that how dirty my place is?" Rem questioned silently.
She was sitting down on the couch, her voluptuous chest going up and down as her breasts followed suit. Her form looked enticing, tinged with sweat which stuck her clothes to her body, Rem could see the clear outlines of her bountiful breasts from her white dress.
This scene was what Rem didn't want any other man to see, despite dicks not functioning, Men were known to have a great deal of imagination.
"Time to get stronger," Rem said to himself as he slowly approached Kurenai.

Continue donating Power stones, They help motivate me~
Hiruzen Sarutobi is one of the weakest Hokage ever, not in strength but rather in Intellect. He sides with other villages rather than his own~ How many of us can remember the Hasashi Incident~
Granting you a little spoiler over here, Rem might become the Hokage… Before the timeskip though, You can expect one or two Hidden villages to be under the control of Konohagakure if he does.
