“That guy’s strength is simply too terrifying, isn’t it?” Homura Mitokado said with lingering fear.
The strength displayed by the Long-haired Strong Man was even greater than Kinkaku’s!
If they truly fought, the few of them would definitely not be a match for the two of them…
They had just prepared for a desperate fight.
Fortunately, the Long-haired Strong Man had no intention of fighting, otherwise, they might very well have fallen on the battlefield today.
“Who exactly is that Kumogakure Ninja?” Uchiha Kagami looked puzzled; he had never heard of such a person in Kumogakure.
The previously well-known Raikage’s Guard had already been killed by Renye.
“This matter must be reported to the Commander, so he can relay it to sensei,” Hiruzen Sarutobi murmured softly, his expression grave.
The appearance of the Long-haired Strong Man could very likely change the situation on the battlefield.
After all, with the strength the opponent displayed, it would be difficult for them to stop a full-scale assault, not to mention Kumogakure still had a Kinkaku.
Not being able to kill Kinkaku, the few of them couldn’t help but feel regret.
At that time, Renye was just a little short of being able to kill Kinkaku; if the Long-haired Strong Man hadn’t suddenly appeared to obstruct him, Kinkaku and Ginkaku would have been reunited.
Renye didn’t speak the whole way, pondering how to deal with the Long-haired Strong Man in the future.
This strongest Raikage in history was no joke!
If he accidentally messed up, there would only be death…
The previous Second Raikage was already enough to give them a headache, and now there was an even stronger Third Raikage.
Kumogakure was determined to eliminate Konoha!
Renye pondered, if it really didn’t work, maybe… call Senju Tobirama, that Old Man, to support them on the battlefield?
Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head, dismissing this absurd idea.
Forget it. If that Old Man died on the battlefield, it would be troublesome.
Senju Tobirama had been processing documents in the office. Without fighting for a long time, his strength would decline, so it was better not to let him come.
If a mistake occurred…
Being killed directly would not be worth it.
Without a Shadow-level Expert stationed in Konoha, other countries would only become more reckless.
Unless the missing Senju Hashirama was found.
This method was not impossible; at worst, he could go find Senju Hashirama.
Renye had already prepared for the worst: if Konoha truly couldn’t hold on, he would call Uncle Hashirama back to end the war…
However, with Senju Tobirama’s strategy, such a situation should not occur.
The title of 【Forbidden Jutsu Master】 wasn’t for nothing.
If all else failed, he could use Edo Tensei to summon an army of the dead to fight.
There was no need to doubt whether Senju Tobirama would use this Ninjutsu; based on Renye’s understanding of that Old Man, if he was truly pushed to the limit, he would definitely do such a thing.
Renye suddenly thought of something: what if Senju Tobirama chose to use Edo Tensei to summon Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara…
Tsk tsk, the thought of that scene alone was interesting.
Living people cannot be Edo Tensei, so that Old Man would definitely doubt his life!
He would probably think his Ninjutsu development failed, rather than suspecting that the two of them were not dead at all.
Because Senju Tobirama had personally witnessed the deaths of Hashirama and Madara.
…
“Do you think Danzo will be alright?”
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s words pulled Renye’s thoughts back.
“With Utatane Koharu treating him, Danzo should not die… right?” Uchiha Kagami said, somewhat uncertainly.
If he hadn’t misread, the wound on Danzo’s chest was deep enough to see bone.
The destructive power of Six Paths Tools was no joke.
Ordinary weapons would either kill or severely injure when striking the body, let alone the Six Paths Tool, Seven-Star Sword.
“I hope Danzo is safe…” Homura Mitokado closed his eyes in prayer.
As Danzo’s good friends, they naturally didn’t want anything to happen to him.
Renye couldn’t help but twitch his mouth as he recalled the scene. He hadn’t expected Danzo to use a kunai to block the attack instead of pulling Utatane Koharu to dodge.
One should know that when facing the Seven-Star Sword’s attack, only Renye and Hiruzen Sarutobi would choose to directly counter with a weapon.
Uchiha Kagami and Homura Mitokado both chose to dodge…
As for Danzo Shimura, he was quite fond of breaking kunai, even taking on the Seven-Star Sword directly.
Renye suddenly remembered that Danzo seemed to have even used a kunai to stab Susano’o.
One could only say he had a preference for kunai.
Hearing their conversation, Renye didn’t think Danzo would be in trouble. He was a man destined to become the future ‘King of Blame’; how could he possibly die like this?
If he really died, Renye could only mourn.
…………
Konoha Camp.
Nara Commander saw the four of them arrive and quickly stepped forward to ask, “What exactly happened on the battlefield? Why did the fighting suddenly stop?”
Although he had heard the reconnaissance team’s report, he still needed to ask the people involved to understand the specific course of events.
“Kumogakure brought a guy even stronger than Kinkaku…” Renye succinctly explained the situation.
Nara Commander’s expression instantly turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, “I understand. I will report this matter truthfully to Hokage-sama.”
The appearance of another Shadow-level Expert on the battlefield was not good for Konoha.
A Shadow-level Expert could easily turn the tide of a battle, not to mention that Kumogakure had two such experts!
“Nara Commander, please relay to the Hokage that if possible, dispatch a few more Elite Jonin to the battlefield,” Renye suddenly said.
With the strength displayed by the Long-haired Strong Man, the few of them would find it difficult to cope, so they could only send more people to relieve the pressure.
They didn’t seek to defeat the Strong Man, just to hold him back.
Don’t look at Kumogakure having two Shadow-level Experts; Konoha’s mid-to-high-level combat power far exceeded Kumogakure’s.
As long as they dragged it out, holding back the Strong Man and Kinkaku and preventing them from participating in the battle,
Konoha would eventually defeat Kumogakure; it was only a matter of time!
Once their resources were depleted, Kumogakure would naturally surrender.
“I understand, Renye Jonin.” Nara Commander nodded solemnly, then turned and entered the tent.
He needed to report everything that happened here to Hokage-sama and have the Village dispatch Ninja to support the battlefield.
Seeing that there was nothing more for them to do, the four of them went to the Medical Department to check on Danzo’s condition.
Before seeing Danzo, they felt a bit uneasy, worried about entering the Medical Department and seeing Danzo’s body covered with a white sheet…
Clearly, they had worried too much.
Danzo Shimura lay on the hospital bed with bandages wrapped around his chest. Seeing them return, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, “You guys aren’t dead…”
He had been afraid that they wouldn’t be a match for the Strong Man and would die on the battlefield.
Now that he saw them return safely, the weight on his mind finally lifted.
“Hahaha, Danzo, you’re not dead either! That’s great!” Hiruzen Sarutobi came to the bedside and patted Danzo’s shoulder.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Danzo coughed from the patting and said irritably, “Hiruzen, be gentle!”
“Hahaha, my apologies.” Hiruzen Sarutobi scratched his head awkwardly.
Seeing this, Renye’s lips curved slightly, revealing a smile.
The tent was filled with their laughter.
