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

Danzo Shimura avoided the patrolling ninjas and left the camp alone, heading towards the grove.

The curtain of the tent next door was gently lifted, and the Second Kazekage, Shamon, fell into deep thought as he watched Danzo's departing figure.

What is the Hokage doing out in the middle of the night?

During the day, the mysterious Uchiha Renya sneaked into the Allied Shinobi Forces camp, and at night, Hokage Shimura Danzo sneaked out of the camp.

Who did he secretly run away to see?

That's so hard to guess!

To curry favor with Konoha and for his own safety, Shamon decided it was best to pretend he hadn't seen anything.

Otherwise, if Uchiha Renya finds out, he'll definitely be in big trouble!

In a grove of trees not far from the Allied Ninja Army camp.

Shimura Danzo looked around but couldn't find any trace of his good brother, so he frowned slightly.

Lianye said he would wait for him in the grove tonight.

He arrived, but found no one there.

He had reason to suspect that the unreliable guy had probably fallen asleep by accident.

Being late was perfectly normal for Lian Ye.

Since we're already here, let's wait and see.

With these thoughts in mind, Shimura Danzo leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and patiently waited for his good brother to arrive.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly arose in the quiet grove.

finally come.

He slowly opened his eyes, and in the moonlight, a figure wearing a white mask and with long black hair was slowly walking towards him.

It was Renya who impersonated Uchiha Madara.

"Sorry, Danzo." Renya took off her mask and scratched her head sheepishly. "I was sunbathing this afternoon and accidentally fell asleep."

He didn't intentionally stand Danzo up; it was just that the afternoon sun was too warm.

In addition, without Ah Fei to provide a wake-up service, it's quite normal to accidentally oversleep...

Didn't he come to the appointment as soon as he woke up?

Danzo Shimura had anticipated the reason for Renya's lateness, and his face remained expressionless.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

He had never had the chance to ask Renya what had happened with Madara Uchiha.

And the direct connection between capturing the tailed beasts and the Eye of the Moon Project.

"Madara Uchiha ordered me to capture the nine tailed beasts..." Renye succinctly recounted her experiences over the past period.

He didn't reveal things that he shouldn't theoretically know, such as the Gedo Mazo and the Ten-Tails, which Madara never mentioned.

After all, he couldn't guarantee that even after sending A-Fei away, there weren't other White Zetsu lurking in the shadows watching.

His invitation to Danzo to come here was essentially just a reunion with a friend.

Revealing too much information could easily alert the enemy.

Lianye thought she could delay for a few more months and then break off relations with Uncle Ban.

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Madara Uchiha, who is inherently evil, is indeed threatening Renya to capture the Tailed Beasts!

If he knew Madara's hiding place, he would definitely lead the Allied Shinobi Forces to charge there immediately.

Unfortunately, Lianye had no intention of telling him.

"Master Tobirama has returned to the village to remind Lord Mito," Danzo Shimura suddenly said.

"So that's how it is." Lian Ye suddenly realized.

No wonder I didn't see that old bastard Tobirama Senju when I came here today.

So they've already returned to Konoha.

But this is for the best; Aunt Mito definitely needs to be protected.

These days, Uncle Ban doesn't play by the rules; who knows if he's secretly preparing a backup plan?

It's always better to be cautious.

"Renya, are you alright?" Shimura Danzo's gaze fell on Renya's wide black robe.

Some time ago, he personally witnessed Lian Ye being hit by three kunai.

I wonder if the injury has fully healed?

"It's alright, I recovered a few days ago, otherwise Madara wouldn't have asked me to capture the tailed beasts," Lianye said with a smile.

"Yes." Danzo Shimura nodded.

The atmosphere in the grove became strange, and for a moment neither of them had anything to say.

Two grown men, there's not much to say to each other anyway.

In addition, meeting in the woods late at night would definitely have a bad impact if word got out.

"Lianye, are you confident you can stop Uchiha Madara?"

After a moment of silence, Shimura Danzo asked about a topic he was more concerned about.

If Renya wasn't confident in dealing with Uchiha Madara, she could have sought their help.

Although Madara Uchiha was very powerful, it doesn't mean he could stay powerful forever!

Here we can look to the former ninja god, Hashirama, who is now just a frail old man.

I'm sure Madara Uchiha wasn't much better off.

If everyone unites, we might be able to stop him.

Lian Ye saw through her friend's thoughts and comforted her with a smile, "Leave this to me, don't worry about it."

He never considered involving others in Grandpa Ban's case unless absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, he prefers to solve things alone.

In a few more months, Grandpa Ban will be able to return to the village to retire.

After running away from home for thirty years, it's time to go back.

When I return to the village, I can spend my remaining days leisurely basking in the sun with Uncle Hashirama, playing chess, and occasionally exchanging a few words with that old rascal Tobirama Senju.

It's better than dying alone in a dark, damp underground space...

"As long as you're confident, that's fine." Danzo Shimura nodded.

He and Tobirama-sensei had always been worried that Renya was being oppressed by Uchiha Madara but was unable to resist.

But it seems that's not the case now.

It seems that Lianye has already devised a plan to deal with Uchiha Madara. All they need to do is watch quietly and wait for the day the plan succeeds.

Although Lianye's academic performance wasn't great, her combat talent was undeniable.

Moreover, this guy is extremely cautious and never does anything he's not sure he can do.

Since he is confident, it means that the outcome is basically certain.

"So you're deliberately stalling for time?" Shimura Danzo suddenly realized.

With Renya's strength, even if she was no match for the Allied Shinobi Forces, she shouldn't have been discovered so easily.

This only proves that he is deliberately stalling for time!

Lian Ye simply smiled and didn't offer any further explanation.

"Is Madara Uchiha about to die?"

Danzo believed that Renya's delay could only mean that Madara Uchiha's life was nearing its end.

If we just keep simmering him for a little longer, we can just outlive him to death!

Lian Ye: "..."

How did Danzo come up with this idea?

If Uncle Ban were really nearing the end of his life, he would have already launched a powerful attack.

Why would they obey his orders to capture the Tailed Beast?

All I can say is that Danzo had an incredibly rich imagination.

"Alright, it's getting late, I have to go."

Lian Ye had no intention of staying any longer; she had said everything she needed to say.

It's time to leave, lest we stay too long and arouse Grandpa Ban's suspicion.

"Be careful, Lianye."

As Shimura Danzo watched Renya's departing figure, he spoke softly.

"it is good."

The latter raised his hand and waved it casually, then his figure vanished instantly.

Chapter 472 Should we go get something to eat?

Renya couldn't guarantee that his conversation with Danzo hadn't been discovered by the hidden White Zetsu.

Even if I knew, it wouldn't matter.

Judging from the way Uncle Ban treated him, he probably guessed that he had other intentions.

The two of them simply kept it a secret.

Perhaps Uncle Ban is waiting for the day he slips up.

But there aren't many days left.

After he outlasts the Allied Shinobi Forces, he will reveal the truth to Madara Uchiha.

Lianye felt that her current strength was enough to rival that of the elderly Madara.

Even if the other party possesses the Rinnegan, he is not particularly afraid.

If you really can't beat them, run away and go back to the village to call for reinforcements.

I believe Tobirama Senju and Danzo Shimura would be happy to join forces against Madara Uchiha!

Moreover, Lianye felt that her chances of winning were very high, so she didn't need to go back to the village to call for reinforcements.

If it weren't for the Allied Shinobi Forces buying him time, he would have gone straight back to the base to take action against Madara.

Never mind, we'll see when the time comes.

An afternoon has passed, and I still don't know if Afei has returned.

Lianye returned to the rock where she had been lying in the sun. The only sound on the quiet sea was the waves crashing against the rocks.

He stood alone on the reef, gazing at the distant horizon.

He didn't know how much time had passed when two small black dots suddenly appeared in the distance, rushing toward his location at an extremely fast speed.

It was Tobi and Hanzo the Salamander who came from the Land of Rain.

"Lord Lianye, I've found you some help!" Afei said excitedly as he approached, panting.

Since receiving Renya's order, it ran non-stop towards Amegakure to inform Hanzo of the Salamander, and then ran back without stopping for a moment.

"Master Poisoner, I'm here to help you." Hanzo of the Salamander was slightly out of breath, his deep voice coming through his gas mask.

It should be noted that the Land of Rain is not far from the Land of Water.

Even for a Kage-level powerhouse at full speed in the early stages, it still took a considerable amount of time.

It was now morning.
