When everyone saw that Renye had no intention of hiding anything, they immediately became curious.
They exchanged glances, and finally nodded.
"Renye-kun, can you tell us who the girl you like is?" Utatane Koharu suddenly asked.
The others all turned their gazes towards him, wanting to know his answer.
"The girl I fancy..." Renye stopped mid-sentence, looking at them with a blank expression, "What do you mean by that?"
It was already strange that these guys were acting so mysteriously at first, but now they were asking such inexplicable questions?!
Could it be that they had been on the battlefield for too long, their minds were highly stressed, and they were experiencing a stress reaction?
That's not right, even if that were the case, it's impossible for all five of them to be sick!
A Ninja's endurance is not weak, especially for these few.
Danzo Shimura noticed Renye's "feigned" blank look and snorted, "Don't try to hide it, we've already seen through everything!"
"Renye, you'd better tell us honestly, which family's girl could make you not return to the camp for more than ten days?" Hiruzen Sarutobi echoed.
Ever since he agreed with Danzo's point of view, the more he looked, the more he felt that was the case.
"That's right, Renye-kun, how far have you two progressed?"
Children in the Ninja World mature very early, and they are used to such things.
Furthermore, they were all fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys and girls, so it was inevitable that they would be curious about such things.
Even Uchiha Kagami couldn't help but ask a couple of questions.
Looking at everyone chattering, Renye reacted, his face gloomy, and he didn't speak.
Damn it, who is spreading rumors behind my back?!
These past few days, he had no time to rest, even for a moment, in order to develop a poison to deal with the strong man. Every day, he was either researching or on his way to capture "guinea pigs."
After working hard for more than ten days, in the end, he was rumored to have left the camp to find a partner.
These guys are just bored out of their minds!
"Hehe, I did go out to find a partner." Renye replied with a cold face.
Hearing this, everyone instantly became excited, completely oblivious to his gloomy expression.
"Renye-kun, which family's girl..." Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped mid-question when he suddenly noticed Renye's dark face, and immediately stopped asking.
He secretly thought, 'This is bad!'
He subconsciously swallowed, and subtly distanced himself from him.
The other few also sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, and silently moved their butts backward.
Only Danzo was still chattering, "Hmph, I knew it would be like this! I was the first to propose this speculation, and I didn't expect it to actually come true!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others looked sympathetically at the smug Danzo, thinking, 'This guy is finished!'
Danzo suddenly realized the atmosphere was off, and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you all speaking?"
Everyone lowered their heads, staring at the bonfire in front of them in silence, as if they hadn't heard his question.
"Renye, why are they..." He turned to ask Renye beside him, and then he saw a pair of scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan. His body stiffened and he fell into a genjutsu.
Renye just wondered why someone suddenly spread rumors, so it was Danzo!
He truly lives up to his reputation as the future scapegoat king. At this age, he has already mastered the essence of spreading rumors, able to make false information sound like the truth!
No wonder Sakumo Hatake chose to commit suicide...
Since the rumors were aimed at him, Renye naturally wouldn't let Danzo off the hook. He had to teach him a profound lesson!
......
In Danzo's genjutsu world, the Hokage Office.
"I called you all here today to announce something important." Senju Tobirama said, "Regarding the successor of the Hokage..."
Danzo, Renye, and Hiruzen stood ramrod straight.
"These past few years, I have always observed Danzo's excellent performance, and his various achievements have made me very satisfied." Senju Tobirama showed appreciation.
Danzo excitedly clenched his fists, his breathing a little rapid, "Thank you for your praise, Teacher!"
He didn't expect that Teacher Tobirama had been secretly observing him, so it seemed the Hokage position was about to fall to him.
"Renye and Hiruzen, you two should learn from Danzo in the future, understand?" Senju Tobirama said softly.
"Understood..."
Danzo saw the unwilling expressions on their faces, and immediately felt a burst of satisfaction, his mouth almost splitting to his ears.
Hahahaha, I told you I would definitely become the Hokage!
Renye, Hiruzen, just watch how the Village prospers under my leadership!
Just as Danzo was feeling smug, Senju Tobirama announced, "From today onwards, Renye will be the Third Hokage, and Hiruzen will be the Fourth Hokage!"
Hearing this, Danzo was instantly dumbfounded.
"Teacher, what do you mean by this?!"
Senju Tobirama didn't even look at him, he put the Hokage hat on Renye's head and left the Hokage Office.
"Teacher, Teacher, don't go!"
Danzo's tears welled up in his eyes. He clearly performed far better than the other two, so why couldn't he become the Hokage?!
"Hahahaha!" Renye and Hiruzen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You... what are you two laughing at?!" Danzo angrily pointed at them, gritting his teeth, "Did you two do something? I should be the Hokage!"
Renye and Hiruzen exchanged glances, then couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
"Damn it, you two bastards!" Danzo was so angry that he swung his fist, wanting to teach them a lesson.
He had only taken two steps when he was stopped by suddenly appearing Anbu.
"Throw this guy who assassinated the Hokage out of the Hokage building!" Renye waved his hand.
The Anbu immediately held Danzo and left the Hokage Office.
"Let go of me, let go of me!"
Danzo was thrown out of the Hokage building. He knelt on the ground unwillingly, tears streaming down his cheeks onto the ground.
"Why, why is this happening..."
He didn't understand why Teacher Tobirama wouldn't let him become the Hokage, he was clearly the most outstanding!
"Thump thump thump—" A sound of footsteps came.
Danzo saw a pair of feet appear in front of him. He subconsciously looked up at the person.
He saw Senju Tobirama staring at him with his arms crossed.
"Teacher Tobirama, why didn't you let me become the Hokage?!" Danzo hugged Tobirama's thigh, feeling extremely wronged.
A hint of disgust flashed in Senju Tobirama's eyes, and he said coldly, "I hate people who spread rumors about their comrades behind their backs the most!"
Hearing this, Danzo immediately froze in place.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the time several years ago on the battlefield when he speculated about Renye finding a partner...
"Such a person is simply not worthy of becoming the Hokage!" Senju Tobirama said sternly, "And you, Danzo Shimura, are exactly that kind of person!"
"Teacher, that was just my speculation, I didn't spread rumors..." Danzo felt like the sky had fallen, and immediately began to explain in a panic.
Senju Tobirama ignored him, pried open his hands, and turned to leave.
"Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!"
Danzo looked at Senju Tobirama's departing back, his face filled with despair.
...
In the real world.
"Boo hoo hoo, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
Everyone looked sympathetically at Danzo, who was crying with snot and tears, not knowing what he had encountered in the genjutsu...
Renye's mouth curved slightly upwards. As expected, this kind of genjutsu was most effective against Danzo.
