Senju Tobirama Residence.
"Kid, how does it feel to be a Ninja?"
Senju Tobirama noticed the Ninja headband on Renye's forehead.
"It's alright, nothing too difficult," Renye said.
Senju Tobirama couldn't help but remind him, "When performing missions, you must be extra careful; a slight mistake could cost you your life."
"I know, Old Man."
Renye knew this without being reminded.
He cherished his life very much...
Senju Tobirama whispered softly, "It's good that you know."
After all, he had lived with Renye for four years, and it would be a pity if he accidentally died during a mission.
Fortunately, he was only a Genin now, and with a Jonin leading the team, he wouldn't encounter any danger.
"Kid, go make dinner."
Senju Tobirama watched Renye enter the kitchen and sighed.
"I'll have to cook for myself from now on."
After Renye became a Ninja, he spent less time at home.
Sometimes, when performing missions outside, he wouldn't return home for several days.
In that case, no one would cook for him.
Senju Tobirama somewhat regretted agreeing to Renye's early graduation.
Now, the house had one less cook.
It was now a situation where every meal was precious.
He called towards the kitchen, "Kid, make a few more dishes today."
After dinner, Renye went to the training ground to practice swordsmanship.
He drew his sword from its sheath and suddenly noticed a chip in the blade, which must have been caused by blocking a Shuriken today.
This pained him greatly, as it had cost him quite a bit of money.
Renye sighed, "Sigh, when I have money in the future, I must buy a good sword!"
A top-grade katana would cost at least five hundred thousand Liang.
He would need to save up for at least a few years.
"I'll make do with this for now," Renye sheathed his sword.
Senju Tobirama just happened to notice this scene and fell into thought.
This kid had been here for four years, and he didn't seem to have given him any gifts.
Since Renye wanted a good sword, he would give him one.
He just happened to have a katana he had always treasured...
Thinking this, Senju Tobirama spoke, "Kid, I'll give you a sword as a gift for becoming a Ninja."
"Really?" Renye's eyes lit up; it was truly a case of someone providing a pillow when he was sleepy.
He quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Old Man!"
"Follow me." Senju Tobirama went to the study.
"Old Man, where's the sword?" Renye looked around but didn't see any sign of a sword.
Senju Tobirama didn't speak; he went to the bookshelf and pulled out a book.
"Creak--" In the corner of the study, a door appeared.
Renye was somewhat shocked; he hadn't expected there to be a secret door here.
He had been here for so many years and hadn't discovered it, sighing inwardly:
Senju Tobirama, that Old Man, hid things really well!
Renye followed Tobirama into the secret room, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
On the walls of the secret room, scrolls were densely arranged.
He didn't need to guess; these were all forbidden jutsu scrolls.
He was truly worthy of being a master of forbidden jutsu!
At this moment, Renye noticed a katana on the innermost shelf, gleaming with a cold light.
One could tell it was a good sword just by looking at it!
Senju Tobirama looked at the sword and fell into memories, whispering softly:
"This sword was something I captured after defeating an enemy on the battlefield."
"Actually, I really didn't want to kill him; I just wanted to test a newly researched technique."
"I didn't expect him to die..."
The more Renye listened, the more he felt something was off. The owner of this sword couldn't be...
Senju Tobirama tossed the sword to Renye, "This sword is a weapon of your Uchiha Clan; giving it to you is like returning it to its rightful owner."
Renye understood; this sword was indeed Uchiha Izuna's.
As soon as he held the sword, he knew it was a good one!
Perhaps it was no less than Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword.
He was indeed the young master of the Uchiha Clan, but it was a pity he was killed by Senju Tobirama.
He had just heard that Old Man's meaning, and it seemed like it was an accident?
He felt that Senju Tobirama's words probably meant something like this:
【"No? I just stabbed you once, and you died just like that?"】
【"I really didn't expect you to die! Are you too fragile?"】
Encountering an opponent like Senju Tobirama, Renye could only mourn for Uchiha Izuna for three seconds.
"Don't worry, Lord Izuna, I will cherish this sword!" Renye muttered to himself.
"You know Uchiha Izuna?" Senju Tobirama was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected Renye, this kid, to know about events from more than ten years ago.
Not only that, but he also guessed the owner of this sword from his few words.
Renye then realized he had let something slip, but there was no need to hide it; he could just make up an excuse to get by.
"I heard from the elders in my clan that Lord Izuna was killed by you..."
Hearing this, Senju Tobirama looked conflicted and said in a deep voice, "Actually, I didn't mean to kill him..."
Although he had the intention of killing Izuna at the time, he didn't truly want to kill him.
He just wanted Uchiha Izuna to witness his newly developed Flying Thunder God Technique, but he didn't expect the other party to die just like that.
Senju Tobirama was also very shocked when he learned the truth back then.
Who knew Uchiha Izuna wouldn't make it?
It must have been Madara's fault for not getting him medical attention in time, which led to Izuna's death.
And then he blamed Izuna's death on himself...
"Damn Uchiha Madara!" Senju Tobirama gritted his teeth.
Renye: "???"
Out of nowhere, how did it get dragged to Uchiha Madara?
This Old Man couldn't possibly turn things upside down and blame Uchiha Izuna's death on Madara, could he?
Hmm, based on his understanding of Senju Tobirama, it was indeed possible.
He wondered what Uchiha Madara's expression would be after he found out?
----------
Somewhere in the Ninja World.
A long-haired man in black, with a flame-patterned fan slung across his back and a scythe in his hand, suddenly sneezed without warning.
This man was Uchiha Madara, who had defected from Konoha four years ago.
He had seen the true nature of Konoha Village; the person who would succeed Hashirama as Hokage was Tobirama.
In that case, the Uchiha Clan was destined to be wiped out one day.
It was precisely because he saw this point that he called on his clansmen to leave the Village, but no one was willing to follow him.
This incident made him completely disappointed in his clansmen.
Those short-sighted fellows were not worthy of being his clansmen!
It wasn't that Uchiha Madara was abandoned by his clansmen, but rather that Uchiha Madara abandoned his clansmen...
Ultimately, Uchiha Madara left the Village alone to achieve true peace.
The Uchiha Clan's stone tablet recorded the words left by the Six Paths Sage.
【Infinite Tsukuyomi can pull everyone into a dream, allowing everyone to live the life they desire.】
Thus, Uchiha Madara decided to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi to achieve world peace.
"Reality is too cruel; what's wrong with a dream?"
However, the prerequisite for activating Infinite Tsukuyomi was to possess the Rinnegan.
But he found a way to awaken it on the stone tablet...
He was now preparing for the first step of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan—controlling a Tailed Beast.
