Chapter 128: The identity of Konoha's detoxifier

After gaining Nara Honwa’s consent, Renye promoted the poison he had developed on the battlefield.

He pulled out all the poisons he carried with him in front of the Konoha Ninja.

“This is the poison I developed. You can apply it to your weapons.”

The Konoha Ninja’s gazes fell on the porcelain bottles of various colors, and their eyes showed unconcealed horror and shock.

A thought popped into their minds simultaneously: Renye Jonin could also make poison!

They all thought that as a proud Uchiha, Renye would never use such a despicable method as poison in battle.

It turned out they were wrong, terribly wrong!

No wonder Renye was so good at detoxification; he could make poison!

That explained it.

After the initial shock, a Ninja curiously asked, “Renye Jonin, how effective is the poison you developed?”

“Which has higher lethality, yours or Sunagakure’s?”

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Renye, anticipating his answer.

They all wanted to know, whose poison was stronger, Renye’s or Sunagakure’s?

Although Sunagakure’s poison had been deciphered, the first two battles had indeed left them with a psychological shadow…

Hearing someone compare the poison developed by Sunagakure to his own, Renye curled his lip, looking disdainful: “There’s no comparison at all. Sunagakure’s poison is trash.”

Saying that, he picked up a red porcelain bottle and explained:

“This is one of the poisons I developed. As long as you’re hit, you’ll lose mobility within three breaths.”

At these words, the Konoha Ninja immediately froze, looking incredulously at the red porcelain bottle in Renye’s hand.

What did they just hear…

As long as they were hit, they would lose mobility within three breaths?!

This meant that even if there was an antidote, there might not be enough time to take it.

It was very likely that they would lose mobility just as they took out the antidote.

And with such a lethal poison, there was probably no antidote at all…

“Gulp—”

Everyone’s Adam’s apples bobbed, and they subconsciously swallowed, their eyes fixed hotly on the red porcelain bottle.

No one questioned the veracity of Renye’s words.

After all, Renye’s detoxification ability was evident, so his poison-making ability went without saying!

Danzo Shimura and Utatane Koharu in the crowd were not particularly shocked.

Over the years, both of them had already witnessed the power of Renye’s poison.

They had personally watched Renye’s poison evolve from ordinary power at first, gradually becoming incredibly powerful, and now, to a touch-and-die level…

Losing mobility within three breaths seemed terrifyingly powerful.

But both of them knew in their hearts that this poison’s lethality was not the highest.

Danzo looked at Renye with a complex expression, an unclear meaning surfacing in his eyes.

This Renye, he really was a genius in poison-making!

Sunagakure’s poison was simply not worth mentioning in front of him…

Now that Renye was promoting the poison on the battlefield, as long as the war was won,

with his detoxification and poison-making abilities, he would definitely be the greatest contributor on the Southwest Battlefield.

And himself…

No matter how many enemies he killed, his merits could not surpass Renye’s.

Danzo’s eyes, as he looked at Renye, flashed with unconcealed jealousy.

He clenched his fists unwillingly and whispered.

“Damn it! Why?!”

He had worked so hard, yet he could never catch up to Renye.

In fact, the distance between them was growing wider and wider…

Becoming Hokage was his lifelong dream, but Renye’s existence would be the greatest obstacle on his path to becoming Hokage!

As long as Renye was around, he would not be able to become Hokage.

Although Renye had said before that he was not interested in becoming Hokage, Danzo did not think so.

Because at that time, Renye’s identity was Uchiha, so the Third Hokage would probably not pass the position of Hokage to him.

But now, times were different…

After leaving Uchiha, Renye chose to join Senju!

The identity of the Third Hokage’s adopted son, joining the Third Hokage’s family, and making great contributions on the battlefield.

It seemed that Renye becoming Hokage was already a foregone conclusion.

As for Renye not wanting to become Hokage?

This possibility was not non-existent, but Danzo did not believe he would give up becoming Hokage!

No one would refuse to become Hokage!

No one!

Danzo suddenly smiled bitterly, and his clenched fists loosened.

The position of Third Hokage might be out of his reach.

However, he did not give up. Since he could not become the Third Hokage…

Then he would become the Fourth, Fifth, or even the Sixth Hokage!

As long as he wholeheartedly thought for the Village, he would one day become Hokage.

Thus, Danzo appeased himself.

His current goal was no longer to surpass Renye’s merits; there was no need for that at all.

He just needed to be higher than everyone else!

Using his merits to prepare for inheriting the Hokage position in the future.

Danzo was now already beginning to lay out his plans for becoming Hokage later!

When he came back to his senses, he saw the Konoha Ninja swarming around Renye, eagerly applying the poison to their weapons.

“Everyone, be careful not to accidentally injure yourselves,” Renye reminded loudly.

Not everyone was like him, having developed a certain resistance to poison.

Even if they were poisoned, they wouldn’t die in a short time.

Others were different; if they accidentally injured themselves,

unless they took the antidote beforehand, there was only one path: death.

Seeing this, Danzo Shimura quickly squeezed into the crowd, afraid that the poison would be all distributed.

“Renye, save some for me!”

Soon, everyone had applied the poison to their weapons.

Danzo Shimura looked at the kunai in his hand, his face showing unconcealed excitement.

The poison he applied was different from what others used.

This was Renye’s latest poison!

It was the same one applied to Renye’s innocence.

With this poison, his speed and efficiency in killing enemies would definitely far exceed others.

In this way, apart from Renye’s merits on the Southwest Battlefield, no one could surpass him!

Renye, worried that someone might accidentally injure themselves, took out the antidote and distributed it to everyone.

The Ninja took the antidote and swallowed it without hesitation.

With the antidote, they felt at ease.

What if they really got accidentally injured then…

If Sunagakure didn’t die, but they died first, that would be quite a joke.

Southwest Battlefield, Sunagakure Camp.

“Lord Matsuda, our poison has been deciphered!”

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired girl’s face instantly turned pale.

“How is that possible?!”

How could the poison she had just developed be deciphered?!

The battle had just begun!

Commander Matsuda’s eyes flickered, revealing an expression that confirmed his suspicions.

He knew that as long as Konoha’s detoxifier was still around, their poison would be useless.

Matsuda ignored the girl’s shock and looked at the Ninja who had come to report,

“Have you found out who developed the antidote?”

He had sent a group of Ninja to the battlefield, not only to test Konoha’s detoxification abilities but also to find out the identity of the detoxifier…

“Reporting to Lord Matsuda, we have not failed! We have already learned the identity of Konoha’s detoxifier!”

Commander Matsuda heard this and eagerly asked:

“Quick, tell me, who is it?!”
