Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Seeing the two men's unwilling expressions, Danzo felt a surge of satisfaction, his mouth practically stretching to his ears in a grin.

Haha, I've always said I would become Hokage!

Renya and Hiruzen, just watch how the village will rise to glory under my leadership!

Just as Danzo was gloating, Tobirama Senju announced, "From today onwards, Renya is the Third Hokage, and Hiruzen is the Fourth Hokage!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo was completely dumbfounded.

"Teacher, what do you mean by this?!"

Tobirama Senju didn't even glance at him, placed the Hokage hat on Renya's head, and left the Hokage's office.

"Teacher, teacher, please don't go!"

Danzo's eyes welled up with tears. His performance far surpassed the other two, so why couldn't he become Hokage?!

"Hahaha!" Renye and Hizan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"What...what are you laughing at?!" Danzo pointed angrily at the two of them, gritting his teeth as he said, "Did you two do something wrong? I should be the Hokage!"

Renya and Hiruzen exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.

"Damn it, you two bastards!" Danzo was so angry that he raised his fist, wanting to teach them a lesson.

He had only taken two steps when he was stopped by the suddenly appearing secret agents.

"Throw this guy who tried to assassinate the Hokage out of the Hokage Building!" Renye waved her hand.

The Anbu immediately carried Danzo away from the Hokage's office.

"Let me go, let me go!"

Danzo was thrown out of the Hokage Building. He knelt on the ground in resentment, tears streaming down his face.

"Why, why is this happening..."

He couldn't understand why Tobirama wouldn't let him become Hokage, since he was clearly the best!

"Tap tap tap—" came a series of footsteps.

Danzo saw a pair of feet appear in front of him and instinctively looked up at the person who had come.

He saw Tobirama Senju staring at him with his arms crossed.

"Tobirama-sensei, why won't you let me become Hokage?!" Danzo clung to Tobirama's leg, feeling extremely aggrieved.

A hint of disgust flashed in Tobirama Senju's eyes as he said coldly, "I hate people who spread rumors about their comrades behind their backs!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo froze on the spot.

For some reason, he suddenly recalled speculating about Lian Ye's search for a partner on the battlefield several years ago...

"This kind of person doesn't deserve to be Hokage at all!" Tobirama Senju said sternly, "And you, Danzo Shimura, are exactly this kind of person!"

"Teacher, that was just my guess, I didn't spread any rumors..." Danzo felt like the sky had fallen, and hurriedly began to explain in a panic.

Tobirama Senju ignored him, pried his hands off, and turned to leave.

"Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!"

Danzo watched Tobirama Senju's departing figure with a look of despair on his face.

……

in the real world.

"Waaaaah, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Everyone looked on with sympathy at Danzo, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, wondering what he had encountered in the illusion...

Lianye's lips curled up slightly. As expected, this kind of illusion technique was most effective against Danzo.

Chapter 174 It's been a long time since I've seen that kid.

Nighttime, Cloud Hidden Camp.

A long-haired, burly man led a group of men on a thorough patrol around the camp.

These days, ninjas are frequently disappearing around the camp, and the culprit has not been found for a long time, causing panic among the Cloud Ninja.

Not only Chunin are missing, but also Special Jonin and Jonin.

No one dared to leave their tents at night, fearing they might encounter the murderer...

This incident infuriated the burly man who was the commander!

He decided to personally begin patrolling, determined to bring the criminals to justice.

After patrolling for two consecutive nights, they still didn't see the killer commit another crime...

"Commander, I believe the murderer was afraid of your power and fled long ago," the adjutant said obsequiously.

He felt that continuing the patrol was not a good idea, so he decided to return to the camp to rest, as they had not slept for two days and two nights.

But he didn't dare say it directly, so he could only resort to this method.

"Go back if you want, I won't stop you." The long-haired, burly man walked ahead without turning his head.

"Commander, what are you saying? I'm just worried about your health..." the adjutant quickly explained.

"Hmph, you won't die from not sleeping for two days!" The long-haired burly man turned his head and gave him a cold look. "But for our captured companions, it's not as simple as not being able to sleep!"

If the murderer isn't caught, even more of our comrades will lose their lives!

As a battlefield commander, he would never allow such a thing to happen again.

The adjutant kept his head down, not daring to say a word, and silently followed behind on the inspection.

Suddenly, a sound came from the bushes in the distance.

"Hell Thrust·Four Pen Hands!"

The long-haired, muscular man's lightning chakra surged, condensing into a high-density thrusting attack on his four fingers.

His figure transformed into a streak of light, appearing in front of the bushes at incredible speed, and his finger stabbed at it without hesitation.

"boom!"

The half-meter-high bushes were instantly blown to pieces, with bits of rabbit flesh mixed in with the air.

"Thud—" A charred rabbit leg slammed into the adjutant's face.

Smelling the aroma of meat, he subconsciously swallowed.

"A wild rabbit?" The long-haired, burly man withdrew his chakra and resumed his patrol.

They initially thought there was a murderer inside, but it turned out to be just a wild rabbit.

Seeing that the commander wasn't paying attention to him, the adjutant quickly picked up a rabbit leg and began to wolf it down.

I haven't eaten anything all night, so I'm quite hungry.

The long-haired, burly man in front noticed the commotion behind him and sighed helplessly.

How did this guy even become a battlefield adjutant?

By daybreak, the murderer was still nowhere to be found.

"Damn it, I'll catch you sooner or later!"

The long-haired, burly man clenched his fists angrily, turned around, and entered the tent.

Back in his tent, he didn't choose to rest, but instead started working on the documents on the table.

He had previously sought help from the village, and judging by the time it took, they should be on their way.

As soon as reinforcements arrive, he will immediately end the ceasefire and launch a surprise attack on Konoha!

Because of the incompetent commands of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, the Cloud Village ninja suffered heavy casualties in these battles, with most of them sustaining serious injuries and needing time to recover.

This is one of the reasons why he chose to cease hostilities.

In just over ten days, with the help of medical ninjas, the wounded have recovered...

They only need to wait for reinforcements to arrive before launching another surprise attack.

This time, we must crush Konoha in one fell swoop!

This battle was the first one personally led by Zhuang Han as a battlefield commander.

He attached great importance to this battle; he was determined to succeed and not fail!

The thought of his teacher being killed by that Uchiha brat made him even angrier, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

I must kill that brat to avenge my teacher!

If that idiot Jinjiao had said something earlier, I wouldn't have let that brat go...

There was no other way but to avenge the teacher in the battles to come.

Soon, reinforcements from Kumogakure arrived at the camp.

…………

The reinforcements from Konoha and Kumogakure arrived almost simultaneously.

Konoha Camp, Commander's Tent.

At this time, the heads of various clans and Jonin-level combatants had gathered inside.

The Nara commander, his expression grave, looked at the people inside the tent and began his pre-battle mobilization:

"The reinforcements from Kumogakure have arrived; a tough battle is about to begin!"

"We must cooperate to defeat Kumogakure and end the war as soon as possible!"

"Next, I'll assign the battle plan..."

With the surrender of the Land of Wind in the southwest battlefield, Konoha was able to focus all its forces on the northeast battlefield.

With ample support, the pressure on the battlefield was reduced.

The mission of the six members of Lianye remains to prevent Jinjiao from participating in the battle.

As for the long-haired, muscular man, he was stopped by other elite Jonin.

The scale of the war gradually expanded, evolving from a battle involving a few hundred people to a battle involving thousands.

This almost represents the entirety of the heritage of the two villages.

Clearly, both sides are starting to get serious.

Renya had no objection to Nara's arrangements; on the battlefield, plans can never keep up with changes.

He killed the future Second Raikage, though he didn't know the specific relationship between the Second and the future Third Raikage.

But it's obvious that the Third Raikage won't let him off easily...

Lian Ye was not afraid of this, as the powder he developed was a lightning chakra armor specifically designed to deal with long-haired strongmen.

With this powder, I believe the mere Third Raikage can be defeated with a single hand!

As for Golden Horn, Lian Ye had no intention of using the powder; she wanted to save it for a crucial moment to deliver a fatal blow to her opponent!

It must never be taken out and used casually!

…………

The meeting ended quickly, and everyone left the tent.

"We can't let Kinkaku escape this time." Shimura Danzo clenched his fist. "He must be killed!"

It was indeed their mistake that Golden Horn escaped in both battles!

Three strikes and you're out... This time, Golden Horn must die!

After two battles, the six had figured out Golden Horn's fighting style.

With proper teamwork, there's a high chance of killing Golden Horn!

Even they didn't realize that their own strength was growing stronger in the battles against the stronger ones.

Life-or-death battles are the easiest way to become stronger.
