As soon as these words were spoken, the Konoha Ninja instantly erupted.
“Hahaha, we finally have an antidote!”
“You damn guys, I’ve put up with you for too long!”
“Don’t you like using cold weapons? Come on!”
In an instant, the Konoha Ninja picked up their weapons and charged towards the Sunagakure Ninja in front of them.
Now that there was an antidote, there was no need to worry about being injured or poisoned.
The long-suppressed frustration finally found an outlet.
The previously low morale reignited.
Everyone was filled with fighting spirit, wishing they could cut down the enemies in front of them.
The Sunagakure Ninja had never seen such a formation and were instantly dumbfounded.
Shock flashed in their eyes; Konoha had actually developed an antidote so quickly, what a joke!
One must know that this poison was developed by the genius poison master in their village.
To decipher it and develop an antidote would definitely take a lot of time.
Yet, an antidote appeared after only two days.
The Sunagakure Ninja immediately began to question life…
Facing the frenzied assault of the Konoha Ninja, the Sunagakure Ninja were clearly unable to resist.
Originally, the overall strength of their Hidden Sand Village was inferior to Konoha’s; they had only temporarily suppressed Konoha by relying on poison.
If they fought fairly, they would definitely not be Konoha’s opponents.
This was also why various countries allied to attack Konoha Village simultaneously.
Only this way could they ensure the defeat of Konoha Village.
“Koharu, go cover Danzo.”
After Renye finished speaking, he pulled out the Tachi from his waist and joined the battle.
He glimpsed a comrade on his left being suppressed by a Sunagakure Ninja’s Wind Release; his Three-Tomoe Sharingan captured the trajectory of the opponent’s attack.
Seizing the moment his comrade was forced back by the Wind Release, he flickered like a ghost, appearing behind the Sunagakure Ninja.
That Sunagakure Ninja had just condensed Wind Release Chakra in his palm when he saw the sharp blade pierce his chest.
Renye ran him through with one strike, the blood on the tip of the blade slowly dripping onto the ground.
The opponent’s pupils constricted, his fingers still in the hand sign position.
Renye sharply pulled out his Tachi, and the Sunagakure Ninja fell straight to the ground, dead beyond dead.
Even after piercing someone through, the blade of 【innocence】 remained pristine white, directly saving the time of wiping away bloodstains.
Just then, the sound of puppet gears turning came from a distance.
Mixed within it were the muffled groans of his comrades.
Renye followed the sound, and his crimson pupils reflected three puppets using spider-silk-like Chakra threads to entangle his comrades in the air.
The middle puppet opened its mouth, spewing purple poisonous mist.
Renye used the Body Flicker Technique to appear before the puppets, cutting the Chakra threads with one strike and rescuing his comrades.
The puppeteer, hidden behind a tree, shot three poisoned kunai towards him.
Renye’s Sharingan keenly captured the trajectory of the opponent’s attack; while dodging, he exhaled a massive fireball from his mouth.
The fireball, carrying a wave of heat, flew towards the puppeteer, forcing him to reveal himself.
“Puppet Manipulation Skill: Sky-Rending Claw!”
The puppeteer manipulated two puppets holding scythes to cross-slash.
Renye ducked, sliding between the scythe blades; his blade grazed the puppet’s joints, and one of the puppets’ arms, holding a scythe, was severed.
Seeing this, the puppeteer raised his hand and shot several kunai.
Renye easily dodged them, his Sharingan observing the opponent’s movements.
Puppeteers excel in long-range combat; as long as he closed the distance, the opponent would surely die!
When the last puppet swung its scythe, he advanced instead of retreating, blocking the scythe with the back of his blade and instantly using the Body Flicker Technique to appear close to the puppeteer.
The puppeteer had not expected Renye’s Body Flicker Technique to be so strong; before he could react, he met a pair of crimson eyes.
The puppeteer’s pupils suddenly dilated, and his body froze in place.
Renye took advantage of the puppeteer being under genjutsu, swiftly drawing his Tachi across the opponent’s neck.
Having done all this, he did not hesitate, continuing to help his comrades.
The Sunagakure Ninja were already no match for the Konoha Ninja who possessed the antidote, and with Renye moving around the battlefield, he caused them considerable psychological pressure.
Watching their comrades die one after another before their eyes, the Sunagakure Ninja conceived the idea of retreating.
Someone shouted “Retreat,” and the Sunagakure Ninja turned and fled.
Seeing the Sunagakure Ninja retreat, how could the Konoha Ninja let go of this opportunity to beat a dog while it was down?
They immediately gave chase.
Especially Danzo Shimura, seeing his “meritorious deeds” run, he chased after them without hesitation.
Seeing this, the Konoha Ninja quickly followed Danzo’s footsteps.
Watching the Konoha Ninja chase after them like mad dogs, the Sunagakure Ninja were nearly scared to pee themselves, accelerating their escape speed.
They chased like this for dozens of miles, and only when they were close to the Sunagakure Camp did they stop.

Inside the command post tent.
Nara Honwa listened to his subordinate’s report, unable to stop smiling with joy.
“Hahaha, a great victory in the first battle!”
Initially, the poison developed by the Sunagakure Ninja had given him a terrible headache, and he had prepared for the worst.
However, Renye’s arrival completely changed the tide of the battle.
Not only did he develop an antidote, but he also personally brought the antidote to the battlefield for support.
It was precisely with Renye’s help that the first battle could be won!
He must report this matter to Hokage-sama, and no matter what, Renye’s military achievements must be counted.
“Renye Jonin truly lives up to being the child Hokage-sama nurtured from a young age; he is truly a young hero!” Nara Honwa couldn’t help but exclaim.
Speaking of which, his son seemed to be classmates with Renye…
Thinking of this, Nara Honwa sighed helplessly, “If that kid were half as excellent as Renye, I wouldn’t have to worry about him.”
Originally, Nara Hon'ya had followed him to the front line.
Seeing that war was about to break out, he feared his only son would die on the battlefield, so he casually found an excuse to send him to the rear.
“As long as that kid can be safe, then I will die without regrets.”
… … … …
Not long after, the news of the first battle’s victory spread throughout the Konoha Camp.
People who heard the news couldn’t help but cheer.
Morale was unprecedentedly high!
With the first battle’s victory, Renye’s name resounded throughout the entire Konoha Camp.
Everyone learned from Nara Honwa that the person who developed the antidote was Renye!
The Konoha Ninja sincerely thanked Renye…
It was because he developed the antidote that the first battle could be won!
Renye, however, felt nothing about it; wasn’t this level of poison easily solvable?
It seemed that when he had time, he must let the Sunagakure Ninja truly see what real poison was!
Danzo watched Renye being thanked by everyone, and he was consumed with envy.
How many enemies would he have to kill to receive such treatment?

Unlike the lively Konoha Camp, the Sunagakure Camp was utterly desolate.
Inside the Commander’s tent.
“Damn it, how did Konoha develop an antidote so quickly?” The Sunagakure Commander angrily threw the document on the ground.
“Didn’t you say no one could develop an antidote in a short time?”
He furiously pointed at the young girl in front of him.
“Since they could decipher the poison I developed, Konoha indeed has a master.”
A moment of shock appeared on the girl’s face, but she quickly regained her composure.
“However, I have already developed an even stronger poison…”
