Chapter 124: Deja vu

“Renye-kun, what did Lord Honwa tell you?”

Utatane Koharu immediately stepped forward and asked when she saw Renye walk out of the tent.

However, she always felt that Renye’s expression was a bit strange.

“You all proceed to the battlefield as normal for support,” Renye said.

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura turned without hesitation, preparing to head to the battlefield.

He was already impatient to kill enemies and earn merit.

Every enemy he killed now would bring him one step closer to the Hokage position.

In due time, he would certainly become Hokage legitimately!

Suddenly, Danzo Shimura seemed to remember something and turned to look at Renye.

“Koharu and I are going to the battlefield, what about you?”

Only then did Utatane Koharu remember that Renye hadn't mentioned going to the battlefield with them.

“Renye-kun, aren’t you coming to the battlefield with us?”

Facing their questions, Renye shook his head, “I need to develop an antidote in the rear, so I can’t go to the battlefield.”

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura’s eyes lit up, and the joy on his face was hard to suppress.

This was good news!

If this guy didn't go to the battlefield, he couldn't kill enemies for merit.

His source of merit could only rely on making antidotes.

In this way, as long as he killed enough enemies, his merit would quickly surpass Renye’s.

Thinking of this, Danzo almost laughed out loud.

“Danzo, you seem very happy?” Renye noticed Danzo’s expression and couldn’t help but ask.

Danzo quickly put away the smile on his face, his expression serious:

“I am killing enemies on the front lines to protect the Village, and you are developing antidotes in the rear, which is also protecting the Village.”

“We are both for the Village; whether we can go to the battlefield is not important.”

Saying this, he patted Renye’s shoulder with a solemn expression.

“Keep it up! We on the front lines need the antidote you develop!”

A hint of confusion flashed in Renye’s eyes, and he muttered, “Is that so?”

Thinking about it carefully, it did make a lot of sense.

However, it still felt a bit strange…

For some reason, Danzo seemed like a completely different person on the battlefield, speaking with such eloquence.

“You focus on developing the antidote; we’ll be going now.”

Danzo Shimura glanced at Renye, then left with Utatane Koharu.

“Renye-kun, good luck!”

Renye watched the two leave and sighed helplessly.

Nara Honwa came to Renye’s side, his face filled with emotion: “Jonin Danzo’s resolve is truly high; he is indeed worthy of being Hokage-sama’s disciple.”

Renye said nothing; the current Danzo was indeed wholeheartedly thinking for Konoha.

Perhaps, letting him become Hokage was also a good choice…

“Lord Honwa, the venom sample has arrived!”

Two Ninja carried a poisoned Ninja on a stretcher to the front.

Renye: “???”

He looked at Nara Honwa in disbelief.

His expression seemed to say, *This* is the venom sample?!

He had thought it would be a weapon coated with venom, but it turned out to be a poisoned comrade.

Nara Honwa saw Renye’s expression, awkwardly scratched his head, and quickly changed the subject.

“Renye Jonin, the venom sample has arrived; please develop the antidote as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, Renye knew that important matters were at hand and didn't dwell on such details.

He lifted the poisoned Ninja’s sleeve and saw the dark blue poison spots on his arm.

He sniffed the wound and then squeezed the other party’s wrist.

The Medical Ninja from the Medical Department, having received the news, gathered around to watch, wanting to witness firsthand how Renye would produce the antidote.

“Renye Jonin, can it be solved?” Nara Honwa asked nervously.

“There’s some progress compared to before, but…” Renye paused, “not much progress.”

A smile bloomed on Nara Honwa’s face, and he said to the surrounding Medical Ninja: “Everyone return to your posts; do not disturb Renye Jonin.”

Upon hearing this, the Medical Ninja quickly returned to the Medical Department.

They only needed to wait for Renye to send the antidote.

After observing the poison, Renye entered the tent and began making the antidote.

Nara Honwa instructed the Ninja beside him: “Set up a dedicated tent for Renye Jonin in the Medical Department.”

“Yes, Lord Honwa!” The Ninja took the order and left.

Renye was considered a treasure on the Land of Wind battlefield.

Let alone setting up a special tent for him, even giving him his own Commander’s tent would be fine.

Nara Honwa was about to enter the tent when he saw Renye walk out of it.

He thought Renye was in the middle of developing the antidote and lacked crucial medicinal ingredients, so he quickly asked:

“Are you short on medicinal ingredients? I’ll have someone send them immediately!”

“No.” Renye shook his head, “The antidote has been developed.”

Nara Honwa was momentarily stunned, muttering, “The antidote… has been developed?!”

He looked at Renye in disbelief, his face full of shock.

It had only been a few minutes since he went in, and the antidote had already been developed.

Seeing Nara Honwa frozen in place, Renye explained: “This poison isn’t difficult; its components can be easily deciphered.”

As long as the components contained in the venom were known, an antidote could be developed using corresponding medicinal ingredients.

From the symptoms on the poisoned Ninja, he roughly knew the components and developed the antidote after two attempts.

Upon hearing this, Nara Honwa finally recovered from his shock.

Renye handed the antidote to him and said: “You find someone to send these antidotes to the front lines; I will send the rest to the Medical Department.”

Nara Honwa nodded and left with the antidote.

As long as there was an antidote, Sunagakure’s poison would lose its threat.

With normal combat, Konoha would definitely win!

In this way, the Village would have no pressure on the Southwest Battlefield and wouldn't even need to send too many reinforcements.

Reinforcements from the Village could then go to the other battlefields.

Nara Honwa’s mouth curved upwards, and he said excitedly: “With Renye here, we can completely defeat the Land of Wind!”

Before Renye arrived, his pressure as Commander was immense.

He had no solution for the Sunagakure poison and could only hope that the Medical Department would develop an antidote.

But Nara Honwa knew very well that the first batch of Ninja who were poisoned would definitely not survive until the antidote was developed.

He had already prepared for the worst, but Renye’s arrival changed the tide of the battle.

This matter must be reported to Hokage-sama!

………

Front line battlefield.

“Hehehe, what if you Konoha develop an antidote? Our Village’s genius poison master has long invented an even stronger poison!”

A Sunagakure Ninja swung the short blade in his hand, striking at the Konoha Ninja in front of him.

The Konoha Ninja looked frustrated, only able to continuously dodge.

Just then, several Konoha Ninja suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

“Everyone, Lord Renye has developed the antidote!”

As soon as this was said, the Konoha Ninja instantly became energized, completely changing their previously timid demeanor, waving their weapons and launching a counterattack.

Now it was the Sunagakure Ninja’s turn to be stunned.

They felt this scene was somewhat familiar…

——————

Inside the Sunagakure Commander’s tent.

“Hahaha, truly worthy of the Land of Wind’s genius poison master!”

The Sunagakure Commander, upon hearing the news that the Konoha Ninja were being suppressed, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The silver-haired girl’s lips curved slightly, and she said confidently: “Even if Konoha has a master, they won’t be able to decipher my newly improved poison in a short time.”

Just then, a Sunagakure Ninja rushed into the tent.

“Lord Matsuda, something bad has happened!”

Upon hearing this, both of them immediately had a bad premonition.
