Konoha Camp was brightly lit.
When Senju Tobirama entered the camp with Renye and others, the stationed Ninja stood at attention and saluted, their eyes filled with awe.
Nara Commander hurried forward and respectfully said, “Hokage-sama, you have arrived.”
Senju Tobirama nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the camp: “How is the battle going?”
He had just arrived at the camp and hadn't had time to understand the situation when he learned that Renye and a few others were engaging with a Shadow-level Expert.
Worried that they might be in danger, he immediately used Flying Thunder God to travel to the battlefield.
Only after returning did he have time to understand the specific situation of the camp…
Nara Commander turned sideways to lead the way: “Please follow me to the command center. I will give you a detailed report.”
“Also… regarding the performance of Renye Jonin’s squad and Sarutobi Jonin’s squad these past few days, I believe it’s necessary to explain it to you separately.”
Senju Tobirama nodded, not in a hurry to leave, but looked at Renye and the others behind him.
“You all go get treated first, then come find me later.”
“Understood, Uncle,” Renye responded with a nod.
Hearing this, Senju Tobirama then followed Nara Commander and left.
“Tsk, Tobirama-sensei really cares about Renye-kun,” Uchiha Kagami said with some emotion.
Although the sensei had told them to get treated just now, his gaze had been fixed on Renye the entire time.
He didn’t even glance at Homura Mitokado, who was also seriously injured.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in agreement, lowering his voice: “Sensei indeed dotes on Renye. While we were traveling, I even heard sensei say he missed Renye.”
“Really?” Utatane Koharu’s eyes lit up. Girls loved to hear such gossip.
She hadn’t expected someone with Tobirama-sensei’s personality to say such mushy words…
“It’s true, I heard it too,” Homura Mitokado recalled carefully.
When he was traveling, he accidentally overheard Tobirama-sensei and Renye’s conversation.
He did vaguely hear words like “I miss you.”
Danzo Shimura did not participate in the discussion, letting out a cold snort.
Ever since the genjutsu incident, he had completely settled down and no longer dared to discuss his companions behind their backs.
Moreover, with this guy Renye around, he probably wouldn’t have the chance to become the Third Hokage, so he could only strive for the Fourth Hokage position.
Fourth Hokage it is, it’s better than nothing…
Anyway, he was still young now, and he had a long life ahead of him.
Even if he couldn't become the Third Hokage, there were still the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Hokage.
As long as he didn’t die, he would eventually have a chance to become Hokage!
And the first step to becoming Hokage was not to discuss his companions.
Danzo looked disdainfully at the few people discussing animatedly, thinking that these guys were destined to have no connection with the Hokage position.
…
“What are you all mumbling about?” Renye looked puzzledly at the few people discussing in low voices.
His intuition told him that they were secretly talking about him…
“Haha, nothing,” Hiruzen Sarutobi scratched his head awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: “Let’s hurry to the Medical Department for treatment.”
“That’s right, Renye-kun, your injuries are very serious,” Uchiha Kagami echoed.
They absolutely couldn’t let Renye-kun know about this; they didn’t want to experience the genjutsu Danzo had gone through.
Didn't they see that Danzo, who had been hit by the genjutsu, wasn't even participating in the discussion anymore?
Although they didn't know exactly what happened in the genjutsu, it was better not to experience it.
“My chest feels burning hot…” Homura Mitokado said, clutching his chest with a pale face.
He wasn’t joking; the newly healed wound on his chest had split open again.
It seemed Tobirama-sensei’s medical Ninjutsu wasn’t good enough!
Renye was about to ask again, but his words were blocked by what the others said.
Feeling the pain on his body, he finally agreed.
“Alright, let’s go to the Medical Department.”
Seeing that Renye was no longer dwelling on the matter, the few of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Uchiha Kagami wiped away non-existent cold sweat, saying with lingering fear: “That was close, we almost got caught.”
“Next time, let’s not discuss it in front of Renye. It’s too scary!” Hiruzen Sarutobi suggested in a low voice.
“Mm-hmm!” Everyone agreed.
Danzo Shimura snorted disdainfully upon hearing this. These guys who dared to speak but not admit it were truly useless!
Renye didn’t know the content of their discussion. If he did, he would definitely explode instantly.
This was even more outrageous than the rumors Danzo had spread before!
… … … …
Inside the Commander’s tent.
The glow of the oil lamp flickered within the tent, and Nara Commander presented a scroll to Senju Tobirama.
“Hokage-sama, this is the battle report from the past seven days.”
Senju Tobirama took the scroll and quickly browsed it, his red pupils reflecting the dense text.
Nara Commander stood by, adding in a deep voice: “The six-person squad led by Renye Jonin has carried out several S-rank missions, all successfully completed!”
“These include: killing Raikage’s Guard, killing Ginkaku, stopping and killing Kinkaku, killing the newly appointed Commander of Hidden Cloud Village…”
The tent was silent, and Senju Tobirama raised an eyebrow slightly.
Such mission density and difficulty…
Even several experienced Elite Jonin would find it difficult to bear, let alone successfully complete them.
These youngsters really gave him a big surprise.
Nara Commander continued: “More importantly, Renye Jonin’s tactical proficiency during the missions.”
He pointed to several marked locations on the map:
“He and his companions cooperated tacitly, with clear division of labor, defeating and killing four Shadow-level Experts multiple times…”
Nara Commander paused, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
“He prematurely developed a powder targeting Lightning Release Chakra Armor, successfully causing the opponent to fall for it. This kind of tactical foresight and poison-making talent… is truly astonishing.”
Especially the poison-making talent!
He finally understood why the intelligence sent by the clan leader praised Renye throughout.
Senju Tobirama slowly put down the scroll, a look of shock appearing on his face.
Although he had already suspected something, Renye’s performance was still beyond his expectations.
Indeed, sending this kid to the battlefield was the right decision!
Senju Tobirama appeared calm on the surface, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth still betrayed his inner pride.
This kid was truly worthy of being raised by him!
Nara Commander then commented on the performance of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others in battle.
“Hiruzen Jonin performed excellently in commanding coordinated operations, repeatedly stopping enemies to buy time for his teammates.”
“Danzo Jonin…”
He finally concluded: “I believe they… might become Konoha’s sharpest ‘swords’ in the future.”
Senju Tobirama nodded in satisfaction, saying in a deep voice: “Your report is very good.”
“Thank you for the praise, Hokage-sama!” Nara Commander said: “It’s dinner time now, please come with me to eat.”
As he spoke, he walked ahead to lead the way.
Hearing this, Senju Tobirama subconsciously swallowed.
Speaking of eating, he hadn't tasted Renye’s cooking in a long time.
He wondered if in the camp…
Could this kid cook?
Thinking of this, Senju Tobirama, as if possessed, asked a question.
“Can we cook in the camp?”
Nara Commander: “???”
