Renye was a little surprised, curiously sizing up the two.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura looked to be about eight or nine years old.
The Ninja School's admission age was six to seven, so it was clear that both were overage.
The two, who were arguing, noticed his gaze and both looked at Renye.
"Brat, what are you looking at?" Danzo Shimura frowned, looking displeased.
He was arguing with Hiruzen about who Hokage-sama was looking at, and being stared at by a brat out of nowhere naturally made him unhappy.
Renye: "..."
Good gracious, I can't even look?
As expected of Konoha's "Pot-Bearer," he had a bad temper since he was young.
An ordinary person would have endured it, but Renye was not an ordinary person.
"What are you barking about?!" Renye retorted loudly, "Can't I look? Is the Ninja School yours to run?!"
"You..." Danzo Shimura's expression froze.
He hadn't expected this brat to talk back to him, and with such a foul mouth.
Danzo, who had never engaged in a verbal spat with anyone, was instantly filled with shame and indignation, glaring at Renye with a furious expression.
His eyes looked as if he wanted to devour him alive.
"What are you looking at, your mom?" Renye said.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding children were stunned, all showing expressions of disbelief.
They hadn't expected Renye to utter such vulgar words in such a setting.
"Brat, you're asking for death!"
Danzo Shimura roared and swung his fist, charging at Renye.
Renye had long seen that Danzo Shimura's strength was similar to his own, both Genin, so he naturally wasn't afraid.
Just as the battle was about to erupt, Hiruzen Sarutobi tightly hugged Danzo Shimura from behind.
"Danzo, calm down!"
"Hiruzen, let go of me! I must teach this brat a lesson!" Danzo Shimura struggled continuously.
"Hokage-sama is still watching!"
Hearing this, Danzo Shimura immediately calmed down.
He had been blinded by anger just now, and only then did he remember that this was an opening ceremony!
Thinking of this, Danzo Shimura's face instantly turned pale.
The commotion here was naturally noticed by Hashirama Senju on the stage.
He looked at Renye curiously and asked,
"Little Renye, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, Uncle Hashirama." Renye smiled.
Hashirama and his wife often came to visit Renye; they were worried that Tobirama Senju hadn't taken good care of Renye, so they would check in from time to time.
After a year of getting along, Hashirama Senju still liked Renye quite a bit.
"Haha, is that so? Good to hear nothing's wrong." Hashirama Senju casually walked off the stage.
His speech was over; next, Tobirama Senju would go on stage.
Seeing this scene, the children present were completely dumbfounded, showing shocked expressions.
What did they see?
This brat actually knew Hokage-sama, and their relationship seemed pretty good?!
Danzo Shimura's already pale face turned even whiter, utterly devoid of color.
It's over!
This brat actually had such a powerful background!
What kind of existence had he provoked...
He began to regret his impulsive actions just now.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing this, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had stopped Danzo in time, otherwise, things would have escalated.
He curiously sized up Renye, guessing his identity in his mind.
After Tobirama Senju went on stage, he subtly glanced at Renye.
What a troublesome brat, causing trouble right at the start of school.
"No private fighting is allowed in the Ninja School; violators will be expelled!"
Tobirama Senju began to explain the school rules.
These were all children; they might not know their own strength, and it would be troublesome if someone got killed.
Mutual challenges between parties were allowed, but a teacher must be present to supervise.
"Next, we will proceed with the entrance examination."
After Tobirama Senju finished speaking, a group of teachers stepped forward and began to arrange the tests.
There were a total of four items in the entrance examination.
Basic Knowledge: Simple questions on Ninja history, Ninjutsu theory, Chakra knowledge, and other aspects.
Ninjutsu and Chakra: Assessing the student's mastery of basic Ninjutsu, and whether they can properly extract and control Chakra.
Physical Ability: Testing physical fitness, such as strength, speed, coordination, and flexibility.
Mental Fortitude: Setting up some situational questions to assess the student's mental fortitude.
Renye easily passed, and was even assigned to Class A by the teacher.
Standing next to him were Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and nodded when he saw Renye approach.
Renye, seeing this, simply responded.
One doesn't hit a smiling person; as long as others don't cause trouble, he naturally wouldn't provoke them.
Danzo Shimura, however, stared at Renye with a gloomy expression, unconsciously clenching his fists.
He had already inquired earlier.
This brat was an Uchiha child adopted by Lord Tobirama!
He was very envious, jealous, and hateful about this...
Why could this Uchiha brat receive Lord Tobirama's favor?!
Noticing Danzo Shimura's expression, Renye sneered, "For you to still be able to attend school at your age, your family must have pulled a lot of strings, right?"
Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi showed embarrassed expressions.
Renye had really hit the nail on the head.
They were nine years old, already past the admission age.
For this, both their fathers had spared no expense, only then securing their admission slots.
"Heh heh."
Seeing the two remain silent, Renye curled his lip in disdain.
Danzo Shimura immediately got angry.
If it weren't for the school rules, he would have long since taught this brat, who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, a lesson!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face also looked a bit displeased; he gave Danzo Shimura a resentful look.
If it weren't for his friend's bad attitude, would things have escalated like this?
Before enrollment, his father, Sarutobi Sasuke, had told him that there was a child adopted by Tobirama Senju in this batch, and hoped he could get along well with him.
Because of Uchiha Madara's defection, if nothing unexpected happened, the Second Hokage's candidate would be Tobirama Senju.
As long as he got along well with that child, he would have a chance to get close to Tobirama Senju, and might even be taken as a disciple in the future.
That would be a Hokage's disciple!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was still thinking of finding that child later and getting on good terms with him.
Unexpectedly, a brat Danzo randomly provoked turned out to be the Uchiha adopted by Tobirama Senju...
However, fortunately, only Danzo had a bad relationship with him, and he himself wasn't affected.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to step forward and speak to Renye.
Danzo Shimura roared, "Damn brat, dare you accept my challenge!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "???"
He turned his head to look at his friend in disbelief.
His expression was as if to say: 【Are you kidding me?】
One should know that Danzo was one or two years older than Renye, and had also trained longer; wasn't this bullying?
"Danzo, calm down!" Hiruzen Sarutobi reminded him.
Bullying the younger; if he won, it would be fine...
But if he lost, Danzo would never be able to hold his head up again.
He wanted to persuade his friend, but Danzo completely ignored him.
"Brat, do you dare?!"
How could he, a genius of the Shimura clan, be looked down upon by a mere brat? How could he tolerate this?
There were many children from the Shimura clan present; if he didn't regain his face, how would he ever mix in the clan again?
Renye had long been annoyed by Danzo Shimura's repeated provocations.
Since the other party actively came seeking trouble, he naturally didn't mind giving him a profound lesson!
