Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

According to intelligence, this guy has also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Yes, he could be a good candidate.

With a little guidance, they can become valuable assets in capturing tailed beasts.

Having just left the underground space, Lianye was unaware that Madara had already begun searching for chess pieces.

And he even set his sights on Jing, with whom he had a good relationship...

Even if he knew, there was nothing he could do.

Uncle Ban is no longer the same Uncle Ban he used to be.

……

……

P.S.: Tomorrow is National Day! Happy National Day everyone!!!

Chapter 446 Uncle, are you hungry?

"Lianye, where have you been these past two days?"

In the Hokage's office, Danzo Shimura frowned and asked a question.

Why didn't this guy come back with the main force?

He was skeptical of Orochimaru's previous statement and now only wanted to hear someone explain it to him personally.

Lian Ye was somewhat helpless about this, and he came to the office to report for duty as soon as he returned to the village.

Danzo still pressed him for details about his movements.

Fortunately, he had already conspired with Orochimaru to come up with a story, so he could easily fool them.

"I'm going back to the Land of Rain to find Jiraiya."

Shimura Danzo stared intently into Renya's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"So, did you find Jiraiya?"

He carefully observed Lian Ye's eyes, trying to find any trace of lying.

Unfortunately, Lianye was already an old hand at this.

How could it be so easy to spot?

"Found them. Jiraiya encountered three orphans in the Land of Rain and wanted to stay and teach them ninjutsu so that the three young children could survive in the Land of Rain..."

Lianye described it vividly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Danzo Shimura observed him carefully for a long time but found no trace of lying on his face.

Could this guy be telling the truth?

Although the surface evidence suggested that Renya was not lying, his intuition told him that Renya was definitely lying.

They had known each other for over twenty years, and he knew this guy better than anyone.

However, lacking substantial evidence, they can only turn a blind eye.

"I'll tentatively believe your story," Shimura Danzo scoffed.

Lian Ye simply smiled and offered no further explanation.

He was telling the truth; there's no need to be nervous.

Jiraiya did indeed teach three orphans in the Land of Rain...

The highest level of lying is selectively telling the truth!

It's a mix of truth and falsehood, making it difficult to tell the difference.

"How do you feel on the battlefield?" Shimura Danzo stopped dwelling on the matter and instead inquired about Renya's situation on the battlefield.

He knew that Lian Ye was invincible on the battlefield, and had even managed to kill three Kage-level powerhouses single-handedly.

It can be said that without Lianye, the war could not have ended so quickly.

Normally, a war can take several years to fight.

"The environment in the Land of Rain is too bad; there is no sun there at all."

Lianye pulled up a chair, sat down, and began to pour out her grievances.

They said things like you can't be in the sun, the battlefield rations are terrible, and the Three Shadows Alliance doesn't have any martial ethics.

Danzo Shimura listened silently to Renya's endless ramblings, without showing any impatience on his face.

I just thought to myself, this guy can't stop talking about sunbathing.

I really don't know what's so great about sunbathing?

But he didn't say anything, because the other party had made outstanding contributions.

So what if a meritorious contributor receives some special treatment?

If anyone else had achieved such merit, Danzo would definitely have become wary, worried that the other person's prestige would surpass his own as Hokage...

But this guy is Renya, so there's no need to worry about him at all.

And since the other people don't have as much prestige as Lian Ye, there's even less to worry about.

As long as Renya is around, he can serve as Hokage for thirty years in peace, and then retire.

Lian Ye truly deserves to be his best friend!

He believed that no matter what, Lian Ye would stand firmly on his side...

This is the bond they formed since childhood!

"If we don't like the environment of the Rain Country, we can find a sunny battlefield if war breaks out in the future."

"Shimura Danzo said softly."

Konoha, as the most powerful village in the ninja world, designated a battlefield during the war.

Isn't that a perfectly normal thing?

If anyone disagrees, we'll make the battlefield their country!

Of course, the first thing to do is to ensure sufficient sunshine.

I believe the other villages will give Konoha this face.

However, the battlefield had just ended, and other countries had witnessed Konoha's strength.

It is likely that there will be no more wars for the next few decades.

Choosing a battleground is something that can only be discussed when war breaks out.

But saying it now is just wishful thinking.

"Danzo, you're simply a genius!" Renya couldn't help but praise.

Why didn't he think of that at the time?

Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to suffer for two months.

Upon hearing Renya's praise, Danzo's lips curled up slightly.

"Have you finalized the details of the war reparations for the three villages on the battlefield?"

The victorious nation can naturally demand reparations from the defeated nation.

"No, the delegation will come in person then. You can decide what to do then."

Lianye shook her head, saying that matters like discussing compensation should naturally be left to the Hokage.

Why would he be discussing compensation amounts when he has nothing better to do?

This kind of thing can take a long time to resolve before reaching a point where both sides are satisfied.

As a military officer, he hated this kind of thing the most.

It would be better to leave it to Danzo, since he enjoys handling political affairs anyway.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

There's someone at home waiting for me to cook.

If I get home late, someone will start nagging again.

Danzo Shimura watched Renya leave the office, then continued to bury himself in his official duties.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has just returned from the battlefield. Let him rest for a few days before returning to assist him in handling government affairs.

For two months, he reviewed all the documents by himself.

To be honest, Danzo was used to it.

He suddenly felt that Hiruzen's position as Hokage's assistant was dispensable.

It doesn't seem to make much difference whether it's there or not.

It seems we need to find a suitable opportunity to remove Hiruzen's position.

To avoid arguments arising from differing opinions from time to time...

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was enjoying a rare moment of peace at home, suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

The Tobirama Senju residence.

"Kid, why didn't you come back with Hiruzen and the others?"

Senju Tobirama squinted as he watched Renya walk into the courtyard.

His intuition told him that the kid must have secretly gone to see Madara Uchiha.

Intuition is a wonderful thing; it usually gets you pretty close to the mark.

Especially when it comes to the inherently evil Uchiha Madara!

Renya repeated what the Hokage's office had said.

Even as he recounted the story vividly, Tobirama Senju's expression remained unchanged, still expressing skepticism towards the explanation.

Although he had no evidence, his intuition told him that the kid was lying.

It seems I've really learned bad habits from Madara Uchiha over the years.

It's all my brother's fault! Why did he have to introduce Madara to Renya for no reason?!

Now it's all over; no one tells him the truth anymore.

What kind of mind-altering drug did that guy Madara give him?!

Lian Ye felt somewhat helpless as she watched the old man's disbelieving expression despite her lengthy explanation.

It seems that old man Tobirama Senju isn't as easily fooled as Danzo!

Sometimes, once the seed of doubt is planted, everything you say will sound like a demonstration...

There is no longer even the most basic trust between people.

It's one thing for Grandpa Ban not to believe him, but even this old fellow doesn't believe him.

Sad.

But it's alright, Lianye has a plan!

"Uncle, are you hungry?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju's expression finally changed.

Chapter 447: It's Madara's aura!

He hadn't had a decent meal for two whole months since the war began.

At the time, he thought it didn't matter that Renya had left. Orochimaru had learned some of Renya's skills, so he asked him to prepare three meals a day, which was barely acceptable.

It turned out to be disheartening that Orochimaru had also gone to the battlefield.

When Tobirama Senju learned of the news, he felt utterly disillusioned.
