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

For some reason, Danzo's fear suddenly disappeared after Hiruzen stepped forward.

Damn it, I'm such a coward!

Danzo, consumed by self-blame, felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Danzo, we're counting on you from now on."

Hiruzen had always regarded Danzo as a friend, a friend to whom he could entrust his life.

But before he could finish speaking, his friend angrily interrupted him.

"Shut up! I was going to raise my hand! Stop showing off all by yourself, let me be the bait!"

Danzo Shimura realized that if Hiruzen was willing to become a hero and sacrifice himself to protect everyone, why couldn't he?

At that moment, the fear of death that I had felt vanished instantly.

“Danzo…” Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his friend in surprise.

Tobirama Senju, who had remained silent until now, looked at the two who were willing to step forward as bait and spoke in a deep voice.

"I'll be the one to use the bait, of course."

"You are all young inheritors of the Will of Fire who will protect the village in the future."

"No, you're the Hokage!" Danzo Shimura protested loudly. "There's no stronger ninja in the village than you!"

In his view, only a powerful Hokage could lead the village to development, and no one should be sacrificed except the Hokage!

“Danzo, you and the monkey are always competing,” Tobirama Senju said calmly. “But what we need now is unity among comrades, not personal grudges.”

"Hesitation in making decisions is a fact. First, we need to examine ourselves and calmly understand ourselves. If we continue like this, we will only put our companions in danger."

"In short, there's no need to rush at your age; death will come eventually."

"Until then, I'll spare your lives."

Tobirama Senju stood up and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Monkey, protect those who admire the village and trust you. Then nurture them into people who can be entrusted to the next generation."

"Starting tomorrow, you will be the Hokage."

Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in disbelief.

"Monkey, Konoha is in your hands now!"

"Yes!"

Not far away, three figures concealed their presence in the shadows, witnessing what was happening.

Madara Uchiha sat on a tree, propping his chin up with one hand, and yawned boredly.

"Tobirama is truly ugly!"

They're just two weaklings at the Kage level and a bunch of Jonin nobodies.

Is it really necessary to go through all that drama of life and death separations?

At this moment, Tobirama Senju's attention was entirely focused on this group of young juniors and the Cloud Village pursuers who were rapidly approaching.

They did not notice the three people who were concealing their presence.

"So this is how I missed out on becoming Hokage..."

Danzo Shimura's expression was complex, but he did not blame this timeline.

At that time, he probably didn't have the same determination to die as Hiruzen.

"Kid, aren't you going to help Tobirama?" Madara Uchiha had just turned his head when he realized that Renya had already disappeared.

Only Shimura Danzo remained by his side.

Uchiha Madara: "..."

It seems this kid really cares about Tobirama's life or death!

If he cared about himself that much, the "Eye of the Moon" plan would have been realized long ago.

There's no need to travel through time after death to see the future where you achieve peace in the ninja world.

"No need to say anything more. I'll act as bait to lure the enemy away. You all go back to the village and help the monkey."

Tobirama Senju interrupted their attempts to persuade him.

He's already quite old; naturally, he wouldn't let his juniors be used as bait to die.

This is not in accordance with the village's will of fire!

This is something that can only be done by him; it's a tradition that can be said to be passed down in the village.

"Hokage-sama!" Everyone looked at Tobirama Senju with reluctance.

"Tsk tsk, the scene of life and death is really touching."

An untimely voice broke the somber atmosphere in the room.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came, only to be shocked to find that the sound was coming from directly above them.

A long-haired man dressed in a black robe was sitting on a tree, resting his chin on his hand, watching them with great interest.

Chapter 598 Reencounter with Golden Horn and Silver Horn

"Who are you?!"

Upon seeing the mysterious man who had silently appeared above them, everyone present instantly went into battle mode.

Tobirama Senju's expression was grave. When did this guy appear?

Even he, a ninja with powerful sensory abilities, didn't notice it.

This only proves that the person in front of him is far more powerful than him!

Damn it, I just temporarily escaped the pursuit of the Cloud Village ninja, but I never expected to encounter an even more troublesome guy!

He originally intended to sacrifice himself so that his juniors could leave safely.

But now it seems that no one has the chance to leave.

Renya took in Tobirama Senju's expression and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This old bastard doesn't recognize himself.

This indicates that this is a parallel universe, or rather, the universe of the original work.

In that case, I can now unleash my full power without restraint!

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."

As Renya looked at the young faces of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, she was transported back to the First Shinobi World War decades ago.

time flies.

My former companions, who were young then, have now entered middle age.

Even I am no exception...

"Are you a member of the Uchiha clan?" Tobirama Senju suddenly asked.

He sensed a familiar aura from Lian Ye, that cold chakra unique to the Uchiha clan—there was no way he could be wrong!

I never imagined that the Uchiha clan, besides Madara Uchiha who was killed by his elder brother, would have such a powerful member!

"Huh?" Uchiha Kagami looked puzzled, staring at Renya with his three-tomoe Sharingan. "Are you also a member of the Uchiha clan?"

How come he has never seen the other person in his family?

Such a powerful clan should not be unknown or obscure.

"I suppose so," Lian Ye replied, activating her three-tomoe Sharingan.

When Tobirama Senju saw those eyes, his gaze flickered, confirming his suspicions.

Sure enough, this guy is a member of the Uchiha clan!

However, he did not lower his guard because of Renye's Uchiha identity; instead, he stared at Renye with a serious expression.

Why would a powerful and unknown member of the Uchiha clan suddenly appear in the Land of Lightning?

And it happened right when they were being chased by the Hidden Cloud Ninja.

One can't help but wonder about this guy's motives.

Maybe they were sent by Golden Horn and Silver Horn to stop them from escaping...

Clearly, Tobirama wasn't the only one with this thought; the others also looked at Renya with solemn expressions.

They will strike simultaneously at the slightest sign of trouble!

Even if this guy is strong, he can't possibly gain the upper hand against their combined attack.

"You guys seem a bit nervous." Lian Ye stood up and looked down at the group, saying helplessly, "I really don't mean you any harm."

The people in front of them had just been chased and were now in much worse condition.

If he really wanted to deal with a few people, it wouldn't take long.

There's just no need for it.

He had already beaten up Tobirama Senju three years ago, so there was no point in doing it again now.

However, he was quite interested in the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers.

After all, it's been twenty years since we've seen them.

"You mean us no harm..." Koharu murmured to herself, "Are you here to help us?"

She was just muttering to herself, but Lian Ye heard her.

“That’s right, I’m here to help you resolve this crisis.” Lian Ye’s gaze fell on the distance, and she said coldly, “Now your crisis has arrived.”

As soon as he finished speaking, countless figures approached from afar at an extremely fast speed, and soon appeared in front of everyone.

They were the elite ninjas of the Golden Horn Army.

The two bearded men with yellow and silver hair are the ones who created this crisis: the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers!

"Gold Horn, we caught the escaped rat." Gold Horn noticed Renya standing on the treetop and said in confusion, "But it seems like there's an extra rat all of a sudden."

"Heh heh, then kill them all." Silver Horn said with a sinister grin, "What do you say, Golden Horn?"

I think it's fine.

Lian Ye looked at the Gold and Silver Horn brothers, who didn't take him seriously at all, and showed no displeasure on his face. Instead, he felt a little nostalgic.

At that time, he had not awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and his Flying Thunder God Technique was only half-baked.

It took a lot of effort to kill the two men.

If they hadn't used poison to kill Silver Horn first, and if the two brothers hadn't worked together so well, they wouldn't have been so easy to defeat.

Especially that guy Jinjiao, he runs away when he can't win a fight.

With the Nine-Tails' chakra as their advantage, they simply couldn't catch up with them if they wanted to run away.

He managed to get away several times.

"Silver Horn, that long-haired guy's gaze towards us seems strange..."

Jinjiao noticed Lianye's expression and couldn't help but frown as he whispered to his younger brother.

It wasn't that Lian Ye's expression was obvious, but everyone else was looking at them with wary eyes.

Lian Ye's gaze was different from everyone else's, so how could it not attract Jin Jiao's attention?

“I see him, Golden Horn.” Silver Horn said with a sneer, “Then let’s kill him first.”

As he spoke, he stepped forward first, holding the Seven Star Sword, and sneered at Lian Ye, who was standing on the tree.

"Boy, I'll kill you right now!"

Knowing they couldn't escape, Tobirama Senju and the others had no choice but to fight to the death.

Hopefully, the suddenly appearing Uchiha clan can hold off Ginkaku for a while.

This will give them enough time to break out!
