Chapter 54: Brother, what are you doing?

“Oh, you just returned from a mission?”

At the Konoha Village gate, as Renye and his two teammates entered the Village, they heard a familiar voice from a distance.

Yusuke Senju was seen walking towards them with three Genin.

A look of surprise appeared on Renye’s face when he saw the three people behind Yusuke.

Yusuke Senju saw Renye’s expression and explained cheerfully, “They are my new students.”

He turned to the three and said, “Come quickly and greet your seniors.”

Hearing this, the three of them looked a bit unnatural.

“Tsk, Nara Hon’ya, you don’t recognize me so quickly?” Renye clicked his tongue, looking at the Byakugan user next to him, “You agree, right, Bi Wang?”

“Haha, Renye-kun, long time no see.” Nara Hon’ya scratched his head awkwardly.

They entered Ninja School at the same time, but Renye was already a Chunin, while they had just graduated from Ninja School. How was that fair?

Hyuga Yushu’s face was expressionless as he calmly said, “Uchiha Renye, long time no see.”

He had heard about Renye’s promotion to Chunin but didn’t care.

From beginning to end, his goal was to lead the Hyuga Clan to its peak.

This was his mission in the Ninja World!

Since he was three years old, he had begun practicing the secret techniques of his clan.

For eight full years thereafter, he never stopped training for a single day!

The only time he slacked off was when he went out to eat with Renye and the others, but he still made up for it with extra training afterward.

Seeing Hyuga Yushu’s reaction, Renye’s mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself, “As expected of Bi Wang, that act is too smooth.”

After a year, Bi Wang hadn’t changed a bit.

Yusuke Senju was a bit shocked, “Wait, you know each other?”

Danzo Shimura explained, “Yusuke Jonin, we were in the same class at the Ninja School.”

“I see.” Yusuke suddenly understood, “Wait… what did you just call me?”

If he hadn’t misheard, this kid didn’t call him ‘teacher’ but ‘Jonin’!

“Yusuke Jonin, is there a problem?” Danzo looked puzzled, “You’re not our instructor now, so calling you Jonin is fine, isn’t it?”

Yusuke Senju’s eyelids twitched wildly. It had only been a few days since the Chunin Exams ended! How could this kid forget his roots so quickly?

“Alright, alright, alright, I’ll remember you, kid!” Yusuke looked at Danzo unhappily, “You just wait!”

“Haha, Yusuke Teacher, I was just joking with you.” Danzo chuckled dryly, “How could I, Danzo Shimura, be that kind of person?”

“Haha, I knew you were joking.” Yusuke patted Danzo’s shoulder, then changed the subject, “However, I’m not joking with you, be careful on the way.”

After speaking, he left with his students.

From a distance, Yusuke’s voice could be heard: “Don’t learn from those guys, understand?”

“Understood, Yusuke Teacher!” x3

Only Danzo was left in the wind, disheveled. He really just wanted to make a joke.

Why did Yusuke Teacher take it so seriously?

“Danzo, why did you make a joke for no reason?” Renye asked, puzzled.

Danzo, this Old Man, usually didn’t seem like someone who would joke around…

“You still have the nerve to ask?” Danzo complained unhappily, “Didn’t I learn it all from you?”

Renye: “…”

Good heavens, he could even blame this on himself.

This kid, Danzo, truly lived up to his reputation as Konoha’s scapegoat king! Even at this age, he already knew how to throw dirt on others.

Utatane Koharu smiled and said, “You two should stop joking around in the future; it’s not funny at all.”

Senju Tobirama Residence.

“Hmph hmph, it’s finally successful.” Senju Tobirama looked at the Ninjutsu scroll in his hand, revealing a satisfied smile, “Next is to find experimental subjects.”

Through his tireless efforts day and night, he finally invented a Ninjutsu that could bring the dead back to fight in the Ninja World.

“For now, I’ll call this Ninjutsu 【Edo Tensei】.” Senju Tobirama wrote the name of the Ninjutsu on the scroll.

Just then, he sensed a familiar Chakra heading towards him.

“Hmm? Why is this kid back?” Senju Tobirama quickly hid the scroll.

This kind of thing couldn’t be discovered by anyone.

If it reached his elder brother’s ears, it would definitely be explicitly forbidden, especially since this Ninjutsu also required sacrifices…

As soon as he put away the scroll, Renye entered the house.

“Uncle, you’re actually home, that’s rare!”

In Renye’s impression, this Old Man always left early and returned late, only coming home for meals. He had no idea what he did the rest of the time.

He guessed that this Old Man must have been hiding to research forbidden Ninjutsu.

After all, Senju Hashirama had explicitly forbidden him from inventing forbidden Ninjutsu, so he could only do it secretly in private.

Many of Senju Tobirama’s unformed Ninjutsu were forced to be abandoned after being discovered by his elder brother…

Otherwise, he would have invented even more Ninjutsu!

“I had nothing to do these two days, so I stayed home,” Senju Tobirama said.

“Oh, I see.” Renye didn’t believe that excuse at all.

He thought it was probably because his research into forbidden Ninjutsu was discovered by Hashirama Uncle, the scroll was confiscated, and he came home to sulk alone, only to be accidentally caught by Renye, leading him to hastily make up a clumsy excuse.

However, Renye was too lazy to expose him, “Uncle, have you eaten?”

Mealtime had already passed, and he had just returned from a mission, so he didn’t know if this Old Man had eaten yet.

“Not yet, make a bit more,” Senju Tobirama said without hesitation.

He had eaten soldier pills at noon, but how could soldier pills compare to delicious food?

This kid, Renye, was always out on missions, which meant he had fewer and fewer opportunities to taste delicious food.

From three meals a day, it gradually became one meal every three days, or even one meal a week…

He somewhat missed the days when Renye was still in Ninja School.

At that time, he really didn’t know how good he had it…

——————

At the dining table, the two had just sat down and hadn’t had time to eat.

Senju Hashirama walked in, holding Tsunade.

“Oh, you’re eating without calling me!”

“Hashirama Uncle, please sit.” Renye stood up and got a set of bowls and chopsticks.

“Elder brother, why are you here?” Senju Tobirama asked, “Have you finished all your political duties?”

Senju Hashirama put the delicious food into his mouth and said indistinctly, “Isn’t Little Tsunade here? I used a Wood Clone to handle the political duties.”

Actually, he had originally intended to secretly come and see if Tobirama was researching Ninjutsu behind his back, but he just happened to find the two of them eating.

Helplessly, he could only add a set of bowls and chopsticks.

Senju Tobirama understood, his gaze falling on Little Tsunade.

Tsunade was staring intently at the delicious food on the table, waving her hands and babbling.

“Hmph hmph, Tsunade, you can’t eat yet,” Senju Tobirama said with a doting expression.

Just then, his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, “Elder brother, what are you doing?!”

Senju Hashirama was seen feeding Tsunade a small piece of food.

“I saw Little Tsunade wanted to eat, so I fed her,” Hashirama explained.

Tobirama was a bit helpless, “Elder brother, Tsunade doesn’t even have teeth yet…”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Tsunade swallow the food, then babble and gesture, seeming to want more.

Senju Tobirama: “???”

“Hahahaha, Little Tsunade, don’t rush, Grandpa will get you another piece.”
