Senju Tobirama folded his arms across his chest, frowning as he looked at Uchiha Tanaka.
He had initially thought Tanaka wanted to poach Renye, but who would have expected them to fight?
He arrived late and hadn't heard their previous conversation.
Yet, Tobirama still firmly chose to stand by Renye.
Setting everything else aside, the fact that this kid could fight his own clan leader made him very happy.
This meant that Renye was not the type of person who was blindly loyal to his clan.
Both of them stopped fighting when they saw Senju Tobirama suddenly appear in the field.
Renye sheathed his sword and stood beside Tobirama.
Since this Old Man was here, there was no longer any need for him.
Senju Tobirama glanced at Renye beside him, and seeing that he was not injured, he ignored him and looked directly at Uchiha Tanaka.
"Senju… Hokage-sama, what is the meaning of this?" Uchiha Tanaka's expression was displeased.
Senju Tobirama's appearance clearly disrupted his plan.
Tanaka cursed inwardly, "Damn it, this bastard is indeed monitoring me!"
He had just left the Village, and the other party had already caught up.
He didn't need to think to know that the Uchiha Clan had always been under Tobirama's surveillance.
Even though he knew this, he couldn't act out...
The Uchiha Clan's status in the Village was very awkward now; they were already disliked, and after Uchiha Madara's incident, no one was willing to associate with them.
It could be said that the Uchiha Clan was gradually becoming universally detested in the Village.
Regarding the Uchiha Clan, everyone had reached a consensus in private, but no one brought it out into the open.
No matter how you put it, the Uchiha Clan was still a major clan of Konoha.
Some things, if spoken, would affect the Village's unity...
"Clan Leader Tanaka, as the captain of the Konoha Police Force, you left the Village without permission..." Senju Tobirama said coldly, "Are you going to give me an explanation?"
Uchiha Tanaka was stunned upon hearing this, seemingly not expecting Senju Tobirama to shift the topic to this matter.
The implication was that he was derelict in his duty...
If it were other Uchiha, it would be fine, but he was the Uchiha Clan Leader and the captain of the Police Force, which was inexcusable.
After all, the current Uchiha Clan was not what it used to be, and being caught by the Hokage was a very troublesome matter.
Thinking of this, cold sweat appeared on Uchiha Tanaka's forehead, and he quickly explained:
"Hokage-sama, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to come and see my clansmen."
"Oh?" Senju Tobirama raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Clan Leader Tanaka, why are you still holding a sword when visiting your clansmen?"
Hearing this, Tanaka immediately sheathed his sword and said with a smile:
"Hokage-sama, what are you talking about? As a Ninja, it's perfectly normal to carry a weapon."
"Clan Leader Tanaka, please do not disturb Uchiha Renye again in the future." Senju Tobirama's tone was serious.
"Hokage, do you know what you're saying?" Uchiha Tanaka frowned, "Uchiha Renye is a member of my Uchiha Clan, why can't I see him?"
Renye curled his lips in disdain and muttered, "Idiot."
Tobirama and Tanaka subconsciously looked at Renye.
Although they didn't understand the meaning of the word, they knew it wasn't anything good.
Tanaka's face turned ashen; if Senju Tobirama hadn't been present, he would have immediately killed this damned traitor!
Tobirama saw Tanaka's expression was off and worried that he might suddenly attack.
He subconsciously stood in front of Renye, "Uchiha Tanaka, I'm warning you one more time, stay away from Renye, or you will bear the consequences..."
"Hokage, this is a matter of our Uchiha Clan. You're being a bit too meddlesome." Uchiha Tanaka clenched his fists.
Damn guy, how dare he threaten him!
"This kid was adopted by me a long time ago." Senju Tobirama looked at Renye, "This was the decision of the Uchiha Great Elder back then. If you have any questions, go find him."
He naturally knew that the Great Elder had passed away long ago.
The reason he brought up the Great Elder was just to shut Tanaka up.
"Good, good, good!" Uchiha Tanaka sneered, "Since that's the case, from today onwards, Uchiha Renye is no longer a member of my Uchiha Clan. Let him take the Senju surname with you!"
With that, he turned and left.
Since Senju Tobirama was present, killing Renye was certainly out of the question.
He could only expel this traitor from the Uchiha Clan first and then slowly settle the score later.
Senju Tobirama pondered, seemingly finding Tanaka's suggestion quite good.
If this kid, Renye, changed his name to Senju, that would be fine too...
Senju Renye, that surname sounds good.
Much better than that Uchiha.
However, this matter still needed the kid's consent.
Just then, the silent Renye spoke.
"Hey, what right do you have to expel me from the Uchiha Clan?"
He didn't actually care about the Uchiha surname; he just couldn't stand Uchiha Tanaka's attitude.
That arrogant, self-righteous attitude made him very annoyed.
If Tanaka had spoken nicely, Renye wouldn't have cared.
Even when the Uchiha Clan deliberately distanced themselves, he had no complaints.
Renye absolutely could not tolerate the other party standing on his head and defecating.
He endured it when he was weak, but now that he was strong, how could he tolerate such disrespect?
Although his strength was not as good as Uchiha Tanaka's, he had many ways to kill him.
Such a foolish and arrogant guy was the easiest to kill.
Uchiha Tanaka stopped and turned to look at Renye, "Because I am the Clan Leader of the Uchiha Clan!"
"Hehe, the Clan Leader of the Uchiha Clan?" Renye sneered, "What great authority! Do you really think you're the previous Clan Leader?"
An arrogant fool, who still hadn't seen the situation clearly.
Renye was too lazy to waste words; if Senju Tobirama, that Old Man, hadn't been present, he would have killed Tanaka, that fool, long ago.
Uchiha Tanaka's expression immediately froze upon hearing this.
The previous Clan Leader Renye referred to was naturally Uchiha Madara.
This sentence made him very displeased, but it also made him unable to refute.
He couldn't possibly say that he was stronger than Madara, could he?
Senju Tobirama looked at Renye in disbelief, thinking, is this kid really still an Uchiha?
This didn't sound like something an Uchiha would say at all.
Especially an Uchiha with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan...
The shock Renye's words brought him was no less than when the Uchiha and Senju Clans ceased hostilities and jointly established the Village.
Uchiha Tanaka's face was ashen, and he really wanted to disregard everything and attack to kill this traitor!
But looking at Senju Tobirama in front of Renye, he quickly calmed down.
If they really fought, he was no match for Senju Tobirama.
People of Tanaka's generation naturally knew Senju Tobirama's strength.
During the Warring States Period, there were at least eighty, if not a hundred, Uchiha who died by Tobirama's hand.
Looking at Tanaka's exasperated appearance, Renye suddenly smiled.
"It's just a surname, do you really think I care?" Renye threw the clothes embroidered with the Flame Fan on the ground and used Fire Release to burn them to ashes.
After doing all this, Renye looked directly at Uchiha Tanaka, "You need to remember, it's not you who expelled me from the Uchiha Clan, but I who left voluntarily."
Uchiha Tanaka's face was gloomy, and he gave both of them a deep look.
When he saw Senju Tobirama's rising smirk, his mouth almost twisted in anger.
Damn Senju Tobirama!
Uchiha Renye must have been brainwashed by him!
Uchiha Tanaka snorted coldly and turned to leave without hesitation.
