"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
The high-pressure water blade cut across with the force of severing steel, severing the hand Kin-Gin extended, and blood spurted like a waterfall!
"What?!" Kin-Gin's ferocious expression froze on his face.
White strands of hair brushed past Renye's vision, and the familiar dark blue armor shimmered coldly in the sunlight.
That person stood with his back to him, arms crossed over his chest.
"Kid, be more careful in the future."
If he hadn't arrived in time, this kid would have died.
...
Renye only felt a blur before his eyes, and a familiar back appeared in front of him.
He stared blankly at the back in front of him, his pupils slightly contracting, and asked in disbelief:
"Uncle, why are you here?"
The one who saved Renye was none other than Senju Tobirama, who was on his way to the battlefield.
Renye hadn't expected Senju Tobirama to suddenly appear on the battlefield and save him.
Logically, shouldn't that Old Man be handling political affairs in the Village?
How did he have time to come to the battlefield?!
"You must be Kin-Gin of the Hidden Cloud Village, right?" Senju Tobirama looked at the heavily injured Kin-Gin with icy eyes.
Seeing Kin-Gin's injuries, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Have these kids already become capable of fighting Shadow-level Experts without being at a disadvantage?
Tobirama's lips curled slightly upward, and he sighed with emotion in his heart.
As expected of the disciples he personally trained, they would definitely become the hope of the Village in the future!
"You... you're the Second Hokage?!" Kin-Gin staggered backward, clearly recognizing Senju Tobirama's identity.
He was already on the verge of death and wanted to drag Renye down with him before he died.
He had almost succeeded, but he hadn't expected the Second Hokage to appear on the battlefield and thwart his plan.
The belated Hiruzen Sarutobi and others looked in shock at the silver-haired man who had suddenly appeared: "Tobirama-sensei!"
Renye coughed up a mouthful of blood and reminded him, "No time for pleasantries, kill Kin-Gin first!"
Senju Tobirama's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, and he thought to himself that this kid was clueless.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others then remembered the important matter.
"Stay put, I'll deal with Kin-Gin." Senju Tobirama didn't even turn his head. "Koharu, go heal Renye."
"Yes, Tobirama-sensei!" Utatane Koharu immediately came to Renye's side and used medical Ninjutsu to treat his injuries.
With Tobirama-sensei here, a mere injured Kin-Gin was nothing.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others' tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Hiruzen, you guys keep an eye out," Renye said softly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others had strange expressions. They looked at Kin-Gin, who was being beaten down, and didn't understand what Renye meant.
Did Renye think Tobirama-sensei couldn't defeat Kin-Gin?
How was that possible?!
The three of them didn't take this matter to heart.
After a simple treatment, Renye stood up and looked at the two fighting in the distance.
He was indeed a bit worried that Senju Tobirama might encounter an accident in his battle with Kin-Gin.
If that Old Man were to be inexplicably killed by the plot...
Then wouldn't all his efforts these past few days have been in vain?
Fortunately, Renye's worries didn't come to pass, and the battle ended quickly.
The heavily injured Kin-Gin was no match at all, and after dozens of rounds, he was caught off guard and killed by Senju Tobirama.
With the battle over, Senju Tobirama retracted his Chakra and turned to face the group.
"You still haven't changed your habit of acting tough." He frowned, looking at Renye's bone-deep chest wound. "If I hadn't left a Flying Thunder God Mark..."
As he spoke, the green light of medical Ninjutsu appeared in his palm, and he gently pressed it onto Renye's gruesome wound.
Isn't it perfectly normal for a master of forbidden Ninjutsu in the Ninja World to use medical Ninjutsu?
Renye finally understood how that Old Man had suddenly appeared. It turned out he had secretly planted a Flying Thunder God Mark on him.
He truly lived up to his name as the naturally evil Senju Tobirama!
If he were to betray Konoha one day, would he then be hit with a Flying Thunder God Slash?!
Feeling the tingling sensation as his wound healed, Renye didn't speak to complain.
After all, that Old Man had saved his life, so he wouldn't hold this against him.
However, precisely because he wanted Senju Tobirama to live, he had to kill Kin-Gin and Gin-Gin.
"Uncle, weren't you handling documents in the office? Why are you on the battlefield?" Renye suddenly asked.
"I sensed your Chakra was disturbed, so I rushed over." Senju Tobirama glanced at Kin-Gin's corpse in the distance and let out a soft snort. "You've improved, to be able to push Kin-Gin of the Hidden Cloud Village to this extent."
During his battle with Kin-Gin just now, he noticed that Kin-Gin's Chakra was out of control, which should have been due to the poison Renye had developed.
Coupled with his severe injuries, it was only a matter of time before he was killed.
What he didn't know was that Renye had also killed the future Third Raikage.
With these Shadow-level Experts gone from the Hidden Cloud Village, that Old Man wouldn't die, right?
At least he wouldn't be killed by the people of the Hidden Cloud Village...
After all, the threatening ones had all been taken care of by him.
"Sensed my Chakra?" Renye was utterly bewildered.
The battlefield was tens of thousands of miles from Konoha. How did that Old Man sense my Chakra?!
He couldn't be fooling me, could he?
Senju Tobirama saw his reaction and had no intention of explaining, letting the kid figure it out himself...
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others finally came to their senses, and Uchiha Kagami couldn't help but mumble, "Tobirama-sensei really cares about Renye-kun. He hasn't communicated with us at all from beginning to end..."
"Kagami!" Danzo Shimura quickly elbowed him, reminding him, "Tobirama-sensei hates people who spread rumors about their comrades behind their backs the most!"
"Huh, how do you know?" Uchiha Kagami looked bewildered. He seemed to have never heard of this.
Danzo Shimura's face darkened, and he didn't speak, realizing that he had learned this in the Genjutsu Renye had cast...
Of course, he couldn't tell the others such an embarrassing thing.
Uchiha Kagami saw that Danzo was unwilling to speak and wisely didn't ask further.
"Do you guys feel like we're missing someone?" Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly asked.
The others exchanged glances and said in unison, "Homura!"
They then remembered Homura Mitokado, who was also heavily injured and still lying on the front lines of the battle.
...
When they arrived, Homura Mitokado was leaning against a tree, unconscious.
Senju Tobirama and Utatane Koharu quickly stepped forward to administer medical Ninjutsu to save him.
"Am I... dead?" Homura Mitokado groggily opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the people in front of him.
When he saw Senju Tobirama, his eyes widened in shock, "Sensei, why are you here!"
He initially thought he had died, but the moment he saw his sensei, he sobered up.
"You've worked hard."
Senju Tobirama patted Homura's shoulder.
"Sensei, I haven't worked hard!"
Upon hearing this, Homura Mitokado felt all the pain in his body disappear.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others looked enviously at Homura Mitokado.
Damn it, Homura actually got attention from Sensei!
Renye sighed helplessly as he watched this scene.
These silly kids have been quite brainwashed...

PS: I'm never staying up late to play games again. My sleep schedule is irregular. There will only be two chapters today. I'm going to sleep now. Wuwuwu.
Oh, right, how many chapters do I still owe?
