Renye had just pushed the door open when he saw a group of people turn their heads to look at him.
“My apologies for disturbing you.”
Renye didn't know that Old Man Senju Tobirama was holding a meeting inside!
If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have burst in directly.
He never knocked on the door when he came to the Hokage Office, nor did he have the habit of knocking; he usually just pushed the door open and entered.
It had always been fine before, so how was he to know there were so many people this time?
The clan heads, seeing Renye enter with a food box, all had expressions of curiosity on their faces.
They subconsciously looked towards Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Tanaka.
The news of Renye completely leaving the Uchiha Clan had already spread throughout the Village.
The esteemed genius of the Uchiha, yet he had severed ties with his clan.
What exactly happened in between?
Senju Tobirama sat upright in his chair, not speaking, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Uchiha Tanaka noticed the gazes of those around him, and his expression turned somewhat grim.
Were these damned fellows laughing at the Uchiha Clan?
He activated his Sharingan, his icy gaze sweeping around.
The clan heads met Uchiha Tanaka's gaze and instinctively lowered their heads.
The Uchiha were a major clan, and they dared not offend them easily.
One by one, they immediately lost their interest in gossiping.
Uchiha Tanaka snorted coldly and deactivated his Sharingan.
“Uncle, I’ve brought your food.”
Renye lifted the food box in his hand and walked towards Senju Tobirama.
A group of people standing in the office made it feel a bit crowded, with no space even to walk.
The clan heads moved aside to let Renye pass.
“Excuse me, please move aside.” Renye came before Uchiha Tanaka, “You’re blocking my way.”
This wasn't Renye trying to pick a fight; it just so happened that Uchiha Tanaka was standing in the middle, blocking his path.
The people around looked at the two with curious expressions, all very curious if Uchiha Tanaka would move aside.
After all, Renye was expelled from the clan by Uchiha Tanaka.
There was definitely something fishy between these two…
Uchiha Tanaka stood still, unresponsive, looking down at Renye from his height.
The 14-year-old Renye, at one meter sixty, only reached Uchiha Tanaka's chest.
“Didn’t you hear me?” Renye looked up, a little impatient: “I told you to move aside.”
Uchiha Tanaka's face darkened; he felt that Renye was deliberately challenging his authority, so he activated his Sharingan.
Renye also activated his Sharingan, glaring back without showing weakness.
It’s just a Sharingan, isn't it? As if he was the only one who had it!
He was so close to Uchiha Tanaka right now; if he suddenly used a kunai, this guy would surely die.
Too bad there were so many people watching.
It was a pity to miss such an opportunity to kill Uchiha Tanaka.
Uchiha Tanaka, seeing this, was furious.
This damned traitor!
If it weren't for Senju Tobirama, he would already be a corpse.
Watching the two at loggerheads, the clan heads all started to enjoy the drama.
They knew it! Uchiha Tanaka and Renye had a conflict!
But while they enjoyed the drama, they couldn't just let them actually fight, could they?
Hokage-sama was still watching.
Besides, who didn't know that Renye was Senju Tobirama's adopted son?
And the Uchiha guys were all stubborn; if this continued, they would definitely fight…
So, a smart person stepped forward to mediate.
A middle-aged man with a pineapple-shaped hairstyle moved aside and said with a smile, “Renye Jonin, please come this way.”
“Yes, yes, please come this way.” Several surrounding clan heads quickly made a space.
Renye heard this and entered through the space they made.
“Thank you.”
Passing by the pineapple-haired man, Renye didn’t forget to thank him.
Damn it, finally someone gave him a way out.
As expected, the Nara Clan were all smart people.
Uchiha Tanaka snorted coldly when he saw Renye tactfully leave.
If that brat hadn't been so sensible, he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
As long as he didn't kill him, even Senju Tobirama couldn't do anything to him.
Renye finally squeezed through after much effort.
When he saw Senju Tobirama staring blankly out the window, he immediately felt a surge of irritation.
Damn it, he knew why that Old Man hadn't spoken just now.
So he was just spacing out here!
Bang—
Renye slammed the food box onto the table, saying testily, “Uncle, I’ve brought your food.”
Senju Tobirama looked at the food box on the table and subconsciously swallowed.
He hadn't eaten all day, so it was a lie to say he wasn't hungry.
But he was in a meeting and had no time to eat.
Renye returned after delivering the food; war was imminent.
He needed to focus on training and developing poisons, with no time to waste here.
After Renye left, Senju Tobirama continued the meeting.
But as the meeting went on, fragrant aromas began to waft from the food box.
This made Senju Tobirama constantly swallow his saliva. What kind of dishes did that kid make that smelled so good?
The clan head closest to the desk suddenly sniffed.
The Inuzuka Clan head whispered, “It smells so good!”
“You smelled it too? The scent seems to be coming from the food box…”
“Hokage-sama eats so well?!”
“Do you think this dish wasn’t made by Renye Jonin?”
“Renye Jonin probably can’t cook, right?”
“Bullshit, the food Renye Jonin makes is delicious!”
“Hmm? How do you know?!”
“My son used to be classmates with Renye Jonin; he told me himself.”
Several clan heads discussed in low voices.
Senju Tobirama heard their conversation and his face darkened.
He just wanted to finish the meeting quickly and send these clan heads away.
——————
Senju Tobirama Residence.
Renye returned home and reheated the cold dishes.
After eating, he went to the training ground and began practicing the Fire Release Ninjutsu he had obtained from the Uchiha senior.
As expected of the senior's legacy, these Ninjutsu were very suitable for him.
It felt as if they were tailor-made for him…
Fire Release had a large range, making it very suitable for the battlefield.
However, the attack range of Ninjutsu was limited, and the attack distance was usually not very far.
Renye preferred to use weapons in actual combat.
Shuriken had a longer range than Ninjutsu and didn't require hand seals.
A Tachi combined with Sharingan's genjutsu interference offered a clear advantage in close combat.
Adding poison to the blade further increased the probability of victory.
Renye had no obvious shortcomings in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, or Genjutsu.
This was also due to his diligent training over the years…
“It seems I need to ask Uncle to teach me the Flying Thunder God Technique,” Renye murmured softly.
As long as he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would not be in mortal danger in the Ninja World.
If he couldn't win, couldn't he at least run?
As long as there was a mark, he could instantly teleport.
Space-Time Ninjutsu was just that unreasonable.
Senju Tobirama, who invented this Ninjutsu, was truly a genius!
Renye really couldn't understand how Senju Tobirama, possessing such a heaven-defying Ninjutsu, could die at the hands of Ginkaku and Kinkaku.
