When Renya arrived at the dical unit, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others had already received treatnt, and their injuries had been stabilized.
Because their wounds were too severe and the dical resources were limited, it would be difficult for them to recover quickly. For now, they would have to rest and recuperate at the camp.
Especially Mitokado Homura—his internal organs had suffered serious damage, and it would take at least ten days to half a month of rest before he could recover.
"Renya-kun, what brings you here?" Uchiha Kagami asked with a smile.
"I ca to check on you all," Renya replied. "How are your injuries?"
"Won’t die from them."
Shimura Danzō was wrapped in bandages, exuding a bit of a future pot king vibe.
His injuries weren’t too serious. With treatnt from the dical-nin, a few days of rest would be enough for a full recovery.
Other than Mitokado Homura being heavily wounded, the rest were not too badly hurt.
After completing their treatnt, Koharu Utatane and Shimura Danzō followed Renya back to the tent.
Having gone through a fierce battle and suffered significant injuries, the three quickly drifted into deep sleep.
...
By the ti the Uchiha clan mbers returned from battle, they overheard people in the camp discussing what had happened on the northern front.
When they learned that the Raikage’s personal guards had been killed by a mber of the Uchiha clan, every one of them held their heads high with pride.
This was the glory of the Uchiha!
"Which clan mbers went to the northern battlefield?" asked Uchiha Tanaka.
As clan leader, he clearly hadn’t ordered any Uchiha to be deployed to the northern front...
The Uchiha looked at each other in confusion, their expressions blank.
If they rembered correctly, they only followed the clan leader’s orders on the battlefield and never acted on their own—let alone head out to battle privately.
They had no idea who these Uchiha that went north even were!
Uchiha Tanaka fell into deep thought. To be able to kill the Raikage’s personal guard, they would have to be at least elite jōnin level.
But all the elite jōnin in the clan should’ve followed him to the frontlines to fight...
Wait—he had overlooked soone!
Suddenly, he rembered that Uchiha Kagami and Sarutobi Hiruzen had ford a team and hadn’t moved with the main Uchiha force.
And Kagami had gone to the northern front at the ti...
That explained it. The Uchiha who had killed the Raikage’s guards must have been Kagami!
"I know who it was," Uchiha Tanaka said.
The other Uchiha looked at him expectantly, wanting to hear their leader’s explanation.
"Heh, this Uchiha was—" Before he could finish, voices of Konoha shinobi chatting ca from nearby.
"The Uchiha who killed the Raikage’s guards was nad Renya!"
At that, all the Uchiha froze in place, strange expressions forming on their faces.
They knew that na all too well. Wasn’t that the Uchiha traitor?
It was that traitor who had killed the Raikage’s guards?!
How was that even possible?
Even their elite jōnin had struggled against that brute and had been forced to retreat without gaining any advantage...
And that traitor was only in his teens. How could he have defeated a nearly Kage-level opponent?
A strange and heavy silence fell over the Uchiha.
Nearby, the chatter of the Konoha shinobi continued to drift into their ears.
"They say Renya-san is no joke. He single-handedly dominated the southwestern battlefield, leaving the Sunagakure shinobi reeling!"
"Really?! That outrageous?!"
"You don’t know? He developed so kind of extrely potent poison. Even the poison experts from Sunagakure were no match for it."
...
Uchiha Tanaka’s expression turned grim, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that the Uchiha who killed the Raikage’s personal guard was none other than the traitor he had driven from the clan!
No—Renya could no longer be considered part of the Uchiha.
He had been cast out by Tanaka long ago!
After a mont of silence, Tanaka let out a cold laugh.
"Hmph, he just used so cheap tricks."
Poison was the kind of despicable thod that a proud Uchiha would never use. Only soone like that would resort to such tactics.
Hearing this, the other Uchiha nodded in agreent.
"Clan Leader, should we teach that traitor a lesson?" one Uchiha jōnin suggested.
They had long disliked Renya for betraying the clan, but had never had a chance to deal with him.
Uchiha Tanaka’s eyes flickered as he seed to consider the feasibility of the idea.
But recalling Senju Tobirama’s warning, he ultimately shook his head and declined.
"That traitor isn’t worth our ti," Tanaka said coldly. "He’s no longer one of us."
Attacking a fellow shinobi on the battlefield was an extrely serious offense!
The Uchiha’s reputation was already poor. If word got out that they’d attacked a comrade, they would beco the target of widespread condemnation.
And if Renya had poisoned such a powerful opponent before, then he could just as easily poison them.
Plus, with Senju Tobirama backing him, Uchiha Tanaka had no desire to provoke Renya now...
If they really pushed him too far, what if he poisoned the entire clan in retaliation?
He needed to warn the others. If Renya caught them off guard, it could spell disaster.
"From now on, don’t provoke that traitor. No need to bring trouble on ourselves!"
With that, he flicked his sleeve and left, leaving the other Uchiha standing in place.
...
"What did the Clan Leader an by that? We’re just going to let this go?"
"Maybe he has his reasons. Let’s just follow orders."
With Uchiha Tanaka’s warning, the clan mbers gave up on the idea of teaching Renya a lesson and returned to their respective tents.
Once the Uchiha had completely dispersed, three figures erged from a nearby tent.
"Renya, what do you think about this situation?" Shimura Danzō asked coldly.
The Uchiha were becoming increasingly out of control—how dare they target his comrade!
The Uchiha truly were a naturally evil clan.
Who knew when they might bring irreparable harm to the village?
If he ever beca Hokage, the first thing he’d do was eliminate such unstable elents!
They had heard the entire conversation between the Uchiha earlier.
Koharu Utatane grumbled indignantly,
"The Uchiha are disgusting. It wasn’t enough to expel Renya-kun from the clan, now they want to cause him more trouble!"
Both she and Danzō instinctively looked at Renya, curious how he felt about the matter.
"As long as those fools don’t co looking for trouble, I can’t be bothered with them," Renya said flatly, his tone unreadable.
"If they dare, I’ll make sure they wish they were dead."
Danzō was stunned for a mont, then smiled.
"Well said."
He liked Renya’s decisive and ruthless attitude!
With a personality like that, becoming Hokage would only benefit the village.
It was indecisiveness that led a village to decline...
"Renya-kun, we’ll stand by your side!" Koharu Utatane declared firmly.
After years of working together, she had co to see both Renya and Danzō as her most trusted comrades.
If a friend was in danger, she wouldn’t hesitate to step in and help!
Renya looked at the two of them and offered a faint smile.
"Thank you."
As for the threat from the Uchiha, he didn’t care in the slightest...
