After receiving 1.2 billion Ryo in compensation from the Daimyo, Senju Tobirama and the others immediately left the Daimyo's Mansion.
Watching them leave, the Daimyo gritted his teeth in hatred, furiously throwing the teacup on the table to vent his anger.
“Damn brats, damn Senju Tobirama… I’ll never let you go!”
He was forced to pay an exorbitant compensation of 1.2 billion Ryo. This matter would surely spread quickly, and by then, he would undoubtedly become the subject of gossip for other Daimyo.
These guys must die, especially that brat!
“Issue a bounty for me, 500 million Ryo, I want Senju Tobirama and that brat dead!”
……
“Renye-kun, you’re truly amazing!” Utatane Koharu couldn’t help but praise.
“I never thought you could get 1.2 billion Ryo in compensation from the Daimyo!” Hiruzen Sarutobi said with emotion.
If it had been him, he would have only been able to accept the compensation amount proposed by the Daimyo, at most increasing it slightly.
From 100 million Ryo to 200 million Ryo, something like that…
It would have been impossible to get 1.2 billion Ryo in compensation; this amount of money was something he couldn’t even imagine.
“The Daimyo is so rich, what’s the harm in making him pay more?” Renye said with a smile.
The Daimyo could spend 200 million Ryo to put a bounty on Senju Tobirama; he definitely wasn’t short on money.
If he wasn't short on money, then he definitely needed to be thoroughly fleeced!
The war started by Hidden Cloud Village caused countless Konoha Ninja to suffer heavy casualties, and it would take a lot of money to mitigate the losses caused by the war.
The families of those deceased and injured Ninja all needed a large sum of money for compensation.
This money naturally had to come from the Land of Lightning Daimyo.
The funds allocated to Konoha by the Land of Fire Daimyo were limited, and so many Ninja had died in battle.
As a result, the bereavement payments received by each family were very small.
Especially those children who were forced to become orphans because their parents died in battle, they needed money even more to sustain their lives.
The bereavement payments issued by the Village were only enough for food; there wasn't even enough money to buy a few pieces of clothing, which was the reality for most orphans in Konoha.
Renye knew the tragic plight of orphans from his original body's memories, even Uchiha orphans from a prominent clan were like this, let alone children from ordinary families.
Their lives would only be more miserable…
Renye wanted to change this situation and improve the lives of orphans.
This was also the specific reason why he didn't hesitate to threaten the Daimyo.
“Kid, you did very well!” Senju Tobirama patted Renye’s shoulder, not stingy with his praise.
Initially, he was prepared to haggle with the Land of Lightning Daimyo.
It wasn't easy to get more compensation, and just as he was thinking of a countermeasure…
Renye stepped forward on his own initiative, and after some negotiation, he actually managed to secure 1.2 billion Ryo in compensation!
This kid truly exceeded his expectations.
“Renye, I admit you are very capable.” Danzo Shimura’s expression was serious.
This was the first time he admired Renye, and he had completely accepted him as Hokage in his heart.
He was thoroughly convinced of his defeat.
Only such a person could make the Village develop better!
…
After leaving the Daimyo's Mansion, they did not immediately choose to return to Konoha but instead headed towards Hidden Cloud Village.
Because Senju Tobirama still needed to sign the surrender document in Hidden Cloud Village, they set off directly for Hidden Cloud Village.
The Second Raikage had entered the Land of Lightning territory and had already returned to Hidden Cloud Village to draft the surrender document.
It should be ready by now.
…
Hidden Cloud Village.
The war had just ended, and Ninja with bandages were gathered in twos and threes on the streets, quietly discussing what they had seen on the battlefield.
“You don’t know, the poison developed by Konoha’s Poison Expert is terrifying; almost no one can resist it!”
“Really? Is it that exaggerated?!”
“Of course it’s true; many adults accidentally fell victim to it and then died on the battlefield from the poison.”
For a time, news about “Konoha’s Poison Expert” spread wildly throughout the Village.
From elders in their seventies and eighties to children as young as two or three, everyone knew about Konoha’s Poison Expert.
Renye’s name and title had almost reached the point where it could stop children from crying at night.
Ninja who had personally seen Renye couldn’t help but tremble whenever they talked about it.
This was a form of battlefield trauma syndrome.
They were very fortunate that Konoha’s Poison Expert’s opponents were always Jonin, leaving him no time to deal with Chunin like them.
As long as they didn’t actively approach him, they would almost certainly be fine, unless they were truly unlucky and ran into him.
It was for this reason that the Kumogakure Chunin were able to escape death.
Although they weren't killed, their fear grew day by day.
There’s a saying circulating in Hidden Cloud Village: the probability of a Chunin surviving an encounter with the Poison Expert on the battlefield is higher than that of a Jonin.
If you are a Chunin, don’t panic, but if you are a Jonin, you need to be careful; it’s recommended to retreat immediately!
Otherwise, only death awaits.
The news spread more and more ridiculously, eventually even evolving into a belief that as long as the Poison Expert waved his hand, countless people would die from poison…
Renye had been portrayed as a demon.
The originally bustling Hidden Cloud Village instantly fell into a deathly silence the moment the Hidden Leaf Emissary Group stepped into the Village entrance.
The Kumogakure Ninja all looked up, their gazes falling on the black-haired young man beside Senju Tobirama.
“This… Is this guy…?” Someone couldn't help but take a step back, their voice trembling uncontrollably, “Konoha’s Poison Expert?!”
“Damn it, how did he come here?!”
The atmosphere on the street suddenly tensed, and countless gazes fell on Renye.
Resentment, fear, apprehension… these emotions intertwined, almost solidifying into killing intent.
The Second Raikage had previously instructed that Konoha’s Emissary Group would come to Hidden Cloud Village to sign a peace agreement.
But they didn't expect the Poison Expert to come along too!
Feeling the gazes cast from all around, Renye’s mouth twitched slightly. Did these guys really need to guard against him like a thief?
He hadn’t done anything yet.
Renye didn’t know that he had already become a presence in Hidden Cloud Village that could stop children from crying at night.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have been surprised.
Hiruzen Sarutobi walked at the back of the group and couldn't help but sigh softly at the sight: “It seems Renye’s ‘achievements’ on the battlefield have left a deep impression on the people of Kumogakure…”
They were Renye’s comrades, but no one paid them any attention.
The eyes of everyone present, whether Ninja or civilians, were all on Renye.
Danzo Shimura snorted coldly: “Five Kage-level Ninja died, four of them related to him. It would be strange if he wasn't remembered.”
“Hello, everyone?” Renye waved at the crowd in the distance, showing a friendly smile.
The moment Renye raised his hand, everyone present immediately recoiled in terror, afraid of being contaminated by the poison released by the Poison Expert and dying from it.
Renye’s friendly smile, in their eyes, was like the triumphant smile of a demon.
Many people even felt that they had already been poisoned.
“It’s over, I’m poisoned.”
The crowd instantly fell into chaos, beginning to scatter.
“Kid, did you just poison them?” Senju Tobirama’s questioning voice came.
Renye: “???”
