Chapter 142: The Golden Horn and the Silver Horn

Three days later, Hokage Office.

"Rest time is over, it's time for you to head to the battlefield," Senju Tobirama said to Renye and the other two.

The war between Iwagakure and Hidden Mist relieved Konoha's pressure in the Ninja War.

Even with two fewer allies, Kumogakure's invasion of Konoha never stopped.

On the Northeast Battlefield, the battle between Konoha Ninja and Kumogakure Ninja continued.

The Land of Lightning is second only to the Land of Fire among the Five Great Nations, and its strength should not be underestimated!

Recently, the Raikage has also increased his military investment, seemingly determined to defeat Konoha.

The situation on the battlefield became increasingly tense, and the casualty rates on both sides continued to increase.

Since other Konoha Ninja were bravely fighting on the front lines, Senju Tobirama naturally couldn't let Renye and the others rest in the Village indefinitely.

Tobirama was not an indecisive person, nor would he deliberately give special treatment to anyone.

Not even if these people were his disciples...

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others always being on the Northeast Battlefield was a very good example.

"Kumogakure Ninja are skilled in Taijutsu and Lightning Release Ninjutsu, be extra careful on the battlefield," Senju Tobirama reminded them.

All of them were the Village's future hope, and he didn't want them to die on the battlefield.

"Understood, Uncle," Renye nodded lightly.

Danzo Shimura and Utatane Koharu said solemnly, "Understood, Sensei!"

The two heard the concern in their Sensei's words and were very touched.

Senju Tobirama looked deeply at the three of them, then waved his hand, "Since that's the case, you will immediately head to the Northeast Battlefield for support."

"Understood!" The three turned and left.

Senju Tobirama stood by the window, watching Renye and the other two leave Konoha.

"You say, when will the war end?"

An Anbu wearing an animal mask appeared in the office and said in a deep voice, "Hokage-sama, I think the war will end soon."

"Perhaps," Senju Tobirama murmured softly, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing that the Hokage didn't ask any more questions, the Anbu re-hid in the darkness.

......

"Kumogakure has always been known for its Lightning Release and Taijutsu; their attack speed is extremely fast, and we must respond carefully," Renye instructed the two on the way.

"And they are skilled in team combat, with excellent coordination."

Hearing this, the two subconsciously nodded.

"Renye-kun is right, when we encounter them on the battlefield, we must find a way to disrupt their rhythm, only then can we easily defeat the enemy," Utatane Koharu echoed.

Danzo Shimura didn't speak; he just wanted to go to the battlefield and kill enemies.

As long as Kumogakure Village is defeated, the war will completely end.

At that time, there will be no more ways to gain merit.

While the war has not ended, kill as many enemies as possible to exchange for merit.

With Renye around, Danzo no longer harbored hopes for the Third Hokage position.

His current goal was to become the Fourth Hokage...

And the only person competing with him for the Hokage position was his good friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Of course, there was also that guy Homura Mitokado.

However, Danzo didn't think Homura Mitokado could compete with himself and Hiruzen, so he didn't consider him a competitor.

As long as he surpassed Hiruzen, the Hokage position would be his!

Thinking of this, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Danzo's eyes, as if he saw the day he would become Hokage.

"I wonder how Hiruzen is performing on the battlefield?"

Utatane Koharu heard Danzo's murmur and remained silent.

She knew Danzo greatly desired to become Hokage, and fighting desperately on the battlefield was also preparation for becoming Hokage in the future.

But... Utatane Koharu looked at Renye in front, somewhat worried.

With Renye around, could Danzo truly become Hokage?

She didn't know... Danzo's goal wasn't to become the Third Hokage, but the Fourth!

If she knew, she wouldn't think this way.

...

Renye suddenly thought of something; if he remembered correctly, the Uchiha Clan was the main force on the Northeast Battlefield.

The conflict with Uchiha Tanaka back then was still vivid...

Renye naturally wouldn't tolerate Uchiha Tanaka's arrogant behavior.

As a result, the two had a conflict, and even almost fought.

If Senju Tobirama hadn't appeared in time, Uchiha Tanaka would have died!

After the incident, the Uchiha Clan completely distanced themselves from Renye.

Renye didn't care about this; it was fine as long as the Uchiha didn't actively seek trouble.

"I hope they don't cause trouble for no reason..."

If those guys actively caused trouble, he wouldn't mind making an example of them.

......

Northeast Battlefield of the Land of Fire, one of the front lines.

Kumogakure and Konoha Ninja engaged in fierce combat.

Kumogakure Ninja's Lightning Release Chakra exploded with a piercing roar in the air; several Ninja, surrounded by electrical arcs, rushed into Konoha's defense line at extremely high speed.

The leading Jonin stomped the ground, throwing the lightning spear condensed in his hand directly towards the Konoha Ninja in front.

The Chunin in the front row couldn't dodge in time, grunting as they were sent flying backward, their chests pierced by the lightning spear, losing their lives.

"Disperse the formation, don't let them get close!" The Konoha team leader roared, Shuriken wrapped in Wind Release Chakra flying in a fan shape.

Suddenly, two Kumogakure Ninja rushed out, their palms condensing Lightning Release Chakra, easily batting away the Shuriken.

Just then, three Kumogakure Ninja appeared in the distance.

"Shodai(1st)-sama has ordered to end the battle before Konoha's reinforcements arrive!"

A dark-skinned, long-bearded, rough middle-aged man with a topknot shouted.

He looked at the Konoha Ninja in the distance, his Lightning Release Chakra flickering, and with a loud shout, he charged into the crowd at an extremely fast speed.

"Lariat!"

Looking at the burly man who charged into the battlefield, the two Kumogakure Ninja curled their lips.

"Brother, let this guy wear down Konoha first, we'll make our move later."

"Okay, Brother!"

Clearly, the two had no intention of immediately joining the battle.

...

"Damn it, it's this guy again!"

The Konoha Ninja looked at the burly man charging towards them, their faces filled with fear.

The Kumogakure Ninja, seeing the burly man come to help, were filled with fighting spirit.

For a time, the Konoha Ninja were beaten back in defeat.

Just as they were about to give out, reinforcements finally arrived.

"Uchiha! It's the Uchiha Clan!"

The Konoha Ninja felt relieved when they saw that the reinforcements were from the Uchiha Clan.

They believed that with the Uchiha's participation, they would definitely be able to withstand Kumogakure's attack.

As expected, after the Uchiha reinforcements joined, Konoha stopped its decline.

The burly man saw Konoha's reinforcements arrive but had no intention of retreating.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

He roared and launched an attack; the other Kumogakure Ninja, seeing this, followed with their assault.

"Tsk tsk, this guy is really a brute."

"Brother is right, this guy is just a brute."

"Heh heh, in that case, let's join the fun too."

"Okay, Brother."

If Renye were present, he would definitely recognize that these two were the culprits who would later cause the death of Senju Tobirama.

The Gold and Silver Brothers of Hidden Cloud Village.

And the burly man who had earlier charged into the battlefield was the future Second Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village.
