“Smack!”
A slap landed on Renye’s head, and he instinctively clutched it.
“Ow, Old Man, why’d you hit me?” Renye asked with a resentful expression.
Getting hit for no reason, who wouldn’t be upset?
And in front of so many people, doesn’t he care about his reputation?
Senju Tobirama gave him a side-eye, “You’ve been getting more and more arrogant lately, kid.”
He felt that with this kid’s personality, always getting the short end of the stick, he would eventually suffer a great loss.
“Tch, if they didn’t provoke me first, would this have happened?” Renye muttered softly.
In his opinion, the moment Uchiha Tanaka made a move against him, both sides had already shown their true colors.
Only one of them, he or Tanaka, could live.
Since it had come to this, there was no need to tolerate the other party.
There wasn’t too much danger in the Village right now, but as soon as they left the Village, the two would inevitably clash…
“In Konoha, no one dares to do anything to you.” Senju Tobirama said softly, “Don’t go out on missions for a while.”
Renye was slightly stunned, not expecting the Old Man to say that.
This feeling of being protected was quite good.
“Understood, Old Man.” Renye nodded obediently.
Senju Tobirama looked at Renye in surprise; this kid agreed so easily?
He had thought this kid wouldn’t listen to his advice.
“Good that you know, let’s go back.” Senju Tobirama said, walking towards the Senju Clan Land.
Renye waved to Danzo and Utatane Koharu in the distance and then left.
The two looked at each other, both a little helpless.
“This is a family matter of the Uchiha, it’s correct that we don’t get involved.” Danzo said.
“But… will Renye-kun blame us?” Utatane Koharu worried.
Danzo’s mouth twitched; asking after the fact, what was she doing earlier?
Why didn’t she say anything when they were watching the show together just now?

Senju Tobirama Residence.
“Stay at home during this time, don’t go anywhere.” Senju Tobirama leaned against the doorframe, speaking to Renye inside the house, “I’ll go give Uchiha Tanaka a stern talking to.”
“Understood.”
Renye leaned on the sofa, casually picking up a manga from the table.
Senju Tobirama frowned, seeing Renye’s indifferent attitude, “You’ve grown up, don’t be impulsive in the future.”
He was referring to the earlier incident where Renye and Uchiha Tanaka started fighting.
If he hadn’t arrived in time, things could have gotten serious.
One must know that Uchiha Tanaka was an Elite Jonin, and Renye might not necessarily be his opponent.
If something really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable…
At that point, the two could only meet through Edo Tensei.
Listening to Tobirama’s nagging, Renye felt a warmth in his heart.
The Old Man was really worried about him.
He closed the manga, “Old Man, I won’t be like this anymore.”
As for whether it was true or false, only he knew.
The purpose of becoming stronger was to protect himself and to live better.
If he had the confidence to take down the opponent, why should he endure their taunts?
Ultimately, being a Ninja was a high-risk profession.
Living a life on the edge for a long time, there would always be some psychological abnormalities.
Renye was no exception; to survive.
He had to eliminate those who posed a threat to him.
For example, Uchiha Tanaka, who harbored killing intent towards him.
If this guy didn’t die, he couldn’t sleep…
No one could predict when Uchiha Tanaka would make a move against him.
Instead of waiting passively, it was better for him to resolve this hidden danger first.
Senju Tobirama nodded in satisfaction, seeing Renye obediently agree.
“You stay home, I’m going back to the office.”
Just as he was about to leave, Renye suddenly called out to him.
“Old Man, are you coming home for lunch?”
“I’m busy with affairs lately, I don’t think I’ll have time.” Tobirama stared directly at Renye, his meaning clear.
“Then what do you want to eat? I’ll bring it to you at noon.” Renye asked.
He thought about how he used to just make whatever he wanted to eat, never considering the Old Man’s feelings.
Since the other party stood up for him today, he should ask him what he wanted to eat so he could make it for him…
Senju Tobirama raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit surprised.
He knew that Renye had never asked him what he wanted to eat before, had he changed his ways today?
Thinking, he began to ponder what to have for lunch.
But after thinking for a long time, he still didn’t know what to eat.
Because he loved all the dishes Renye made, he couldn’t really say he had a particular favorite; he thought they were all delicious.
“Whatever, I’ll eat whatever you make.”
“Alright, then you go get busy, I’ll bring it to you at mealtime.” Renye said, flipping open the manga.
Senju Tobirama nodded and turned to leave.
After he stepped out the door, he couldn’t suppress the smile on his face.
His cook was back!
But thinking about the reason Renye came back, his expression turned grim.
“The Uchiha Clan really needs a good talking to.”
They privately contacted Renye without his permission.
That was one thing, but they even tried to make a move on Renye, which was something he could not tolerate.
In Tobirama’s view, the Uchiha Clan were all lunatics.
No one knew when they would have an episode, so they had to be strictly supervised to prevent them from doing anything extreme.

“Clan Leader Tanaka, I think you owe us an explanation.”
At the Uchiha Clan Estate, several elders surrounded Tanaka.
“How foolish! Why hand over the family’s shops to the Village!”
“This is a huge source of income for the family…”
Uchiha Tanaka instinctively clenched his fists, facing the elders’ accusations; these old geezers were really annoying!
But this matter was indeed his fault, so he could only endure it silently.
“Sigh, so impulsive in your actions, I wish we hadn’t chosen you as Clan Leader.”
“Shut up!!!”
Hearing this, Uchiha Tanaka instantly bristled.
He looked coldly at the elder who spoke, saying, “I make the decisions for the family, it’s not up to you old farts to butt in!”
The elders’ faces turned extremely grim upon hearing this.
Uchiha Tanaka also realized his words were a bit harsh, and softened his tone, “Don’t worry, respected elders, I will handle this matter properly.”
The elders ignored him, snorting coldly as they left.
Clearly, they were already disappointed with Tanaka, the new Clan Leader.
“Bang!”
Uchiha Tanaka looked at the empty meeting hall, angrily smashing the table.
“A bunch of old farts, really think they’re important!”
Ultimately, this whole thing was because of that traitor…
Thinking of this, he gradually calmed down, “Heh heh, I won’t let you off!”
The dignified Uchiha Clan Leader, having his authority challenged repeatedly by a traitor, this was something he could not tolerate!
If Senju Tobirama hadn’t been secretly monitoring, preventing him from leaving Konoha.
Otherwise… that traitor would have been a corpse long ago.
“Life is long, there will always be an opportunity!”
“Uchiha Tanaka, I believe I’ve already warned you.”
