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

If you run too slowly, you'll get caught and killed.

"Kakuzu fought against both the First Hokage and the Second Hokage at the same time and managed to retreat successfully. He'll have something to brag about in the Akatsuki in the future."

Renya could already see the scene decades later, where Kakuzu would boast about his achievements without batting an eye.

Watching Kakuzu's retreating figure as he fled at top speed, Tobirama Senju's eyes flashed, and he instantly flung out the two kunai in his hand.

"Whizzing!"

The kunai shot through the air and pierced Kakuzu's back with perfect accuracy.

"Pfft!"

In the distance, Kakuzu's body trembled, and then he collapsed heavily to the ground.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw Kakuzu struggling to get up from the ground, his back gradually turning black.

This is Kakuzu's Earth Release: Hardening Technique, which hardens the body to provide formidable defense.

"He's still alive?" Shimura Danzo's eyes widened. This guy's life is too tough.

Kakuzu ran even faster, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye, without even having time to utter a harsh word.

Lian Ye clicked her tongue, filled with emotion. She could only say that he truly deserved to be called the longevity champion of the ninja world.

There's a reason they've lived so many years; just look at their running speed!

Most people really can't compare...

Chapter 201 gives you the opportunity to reorganize your language.

With the assassination attempt on Kakuzu over, Tobirama Senju continued leading Renya and the others to the Daimyo's residence.

Although Tobirama Senju had a bounty of 200 million on the black market, no one dared to challenge him except Kakuzu.

The bounty hunters were indeed very tempted by the 200 million bounty, but none of them dared to take action.

It goes without saying that trying it would lead to certain death.

To assassinate Tobirama Senju for a bounty is clearly suicide. They know the difference between money and life.

Regardless of Tobirama Senju's strength, few dared to touch him simply because of his status as the Second Hokage.

Even if the assassination were to succeed by sheer luck, it would still incur retaliation from Konoha Village, a relentless and irreconcilable conflict.

No one wants to be enemies with the number one ninja village in the ninja world.

Unless one is strong enough to fight Konoha single-handedly, if one truly possesses such strength, they would not care about such a small bounty.

After traveling for some time, Tobirama Senju brought the heavily injured Raikage to the capital of the Land of Lightning, not far from the Daimyo's residence.

Inside the magnificent, golden hall of Daming Prefecture.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning abruptly stood up from his seat and loudly demanded, "Why, why hasn't Tobirama Senju been killed yet?!"

You should know that he offered a bounty of 200 million ryo on the black market to kill Tobirama Senju, and despite spending so much money, no one dared to assassinate him.

As Tobirama Senju drew ever closer to the daimyo's residence, he became furious and wished he could find someone to kill him right then and there.

"Increase the bounty! Increase the bounty!" he growled through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with a sinister light. "Five hundred million taels... five hundred million taels! I refuse to believe no one dares to touch him!"

This money could drive bounty hunters crazy; they would definitely keep trying to assassinate Tobirama Senju for it.

If enough people are assassinated, even if Tobirama Senju is incredibly strong, there's always a chance he might fail.

The retainers knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.

Just then, a guard rushed in and reported, "Lord Daimyo, the Second Hokage has arrived at the door and requests an audience with you."

There was dead silence in the hall.

The retainers cautiously raised their heads, trembling as they looked at the daimyo's unpredictable expression.

Tobirama Senju is attacking. I hope the daimyo will not make any impulsive decisions.

The daimyo's face was extremely grim. That bastard Tobirama Senju had finally arrived. With Tobirama here today, he would never be able to hold his head high among the daimyo circle again.

But there was no way to refuse. They were already at the door, and there was no reason to refuse. If he refused them, he would only give people something to say and make the people of the country think of him.

Whether he liked it or not, he was going to let Tobirama Senju in.

The lord snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves, "Let them in!"

As the guards pushed open the palace doors, Tobirama Senju led the group slowly into the palace.

Lian Ye followed behind, observing the magnificent and resplendent appearance of the main hall, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

It seems that Daming is even richer than he imagined; this time, he really needs to extort a good sum of money from him.

Don't even think about getting rid of them without paying them a billion or two...

"The Hokage's arrival from afar truly honors my humble abode," the Daimyo said with a forced smile, picking up a fan beside him and snapping it open and then closing it again.

His words and actions revealed the superiority complex of a powerful figure, showing that he didn't take the others seriously at all.

Even though the people standing in front of him could easily kill him, he did not change his attitude.

Renya frowned. The attitude of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was too arrogant. What was the basis for this guy's fearlessness?

Could it be that there's a Kage-level expert by his side?

He activated his Sharingan and scanned the dozens of people in the hall, but found no powerful individuals. Even the guards surrounding the daimyo were just ordinary people.

How dare this lineup be so arrogant?!

Tobirama Senju stood in the center of the hall, his face expressionless, his red eyes staring directly at the daimyo.

"Lord Daimyo, I have come to discuss post-war reparations with you. The Land of Lightning has surrendered to Konoha, as you are surely aware of..."

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent, and the retainers lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"Compensation?" The Daimyo's face turned ashen as he asked coldly, "How much money does the Hokage want me to pay?"

That damn bastard made him lose all face, and now he wants compensation?!

"The Hidden Cloud Village launched a war against the Hidden Leaf Village, causing great losses to the village." Tobirama Senju paused, then continued, "The Hidden Cloud Village needs to compensate the Hidden Leaf Village with one billion ryo."

Lian Ye nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this; the old man had the same idea as her.

Indeed, they should ask for an exorbitant amount, making the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning pay up his underwear.

He even felt it wasn't enough...

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is wealthy and powerful; paying billions in compensation is no problem for him.

After all, they're willing to spend 200 million to offer a bounty on Tobirama Senju, so how could they be short of money?

"One billion?!" The Daimyo almost popped his eyes out and immediately retorted, "Isn't the Hokage's appetite a bit too big? I would never pay one billion in compensation."

He finally understood why Tobirama Senju had come to the Daimyo's residence; he had been taken advantage of.

Although a billion dollars is just a matter of gritting his teeth for him, he would never use the money for postwar reparations.

Tobirama Senju anticipated the daimyo's rebuttal and continued, "Then how much compensation is the daimyo willing to pay?"

That's how negotiations work; both sides keep making demands until a consensus is reached.

The daimyo slowly extended a finger, his expression serious: "I intend to compensate Konoha with one hundred million ryo."

Tobirama Senju frowned. "Daimyo, one hundred million ryo cannot make up for the losses that Kumogakure has caused to Konoha."

"Hehe." The daimyo smiled. "I think one hundred million taels is just right, after all, Kumogakure suffered considerable losses in the war..."

"Whoosh!"

Before he could finish speaking, a kunai suddenly pierced his ear, just an inch from his head.

If the thrower misses even slightly, the daimyo will die on the spot.

Daming was so frightened he almost fell off his chair. His previous composure was gone, replaced by utter terror.

I almost died...

He didn't even know who did it.

"A hundred million taels to appease a beggar?" Lianye stepped out from the crowd, her crimson Sharingan taking in the daimyo's terrified expression.

This guy is clearly just a weakling, but he acts all high and mighty.

He clearly hasn't experienced the harsh realities of life; I'll just help him learn a lesson.

This kind of guy will behave after being beaten a couple of times.

That kunai was thrown by Renya just now...

There's no other reason; I'm simply dissatisfied because the money is too little.

His expected value was over a billion, so how could he possibly accept only one hundred million?

Lianye looked at the daimyo and said coldly:

"I'm not satisfied with this price. I'll give you another chance to rephrase your statement."

……

……

P.S.: Please tag me if there are any typos. I've been quite busy these past few days, I'll fix them tomorrow, sob sob...

Chapter 202 If you disagree, then fight.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others subconsciously looked at Renya, their eyes filled with disbelief.

How dare Renye speak to a daimyo like that?! That's incredibly rude!

It should be noted that the Daimyo is the head of state, and in terms of rank, he is even higher than the Kage of the ninja village.

Renya dared to threaten a daimyo of a country, which clearly shows that she did not take the Land of Lightning seriously.

It was something they found incredibly hard to believe.

Unlike the others, Shimura Danzo's reaction was full of admiration.

He thought there was nothing wrong with this approach: since you don't want to agree, then beat you until you do!

You can't be subservient or compromise yourself in front of this kind of person.

The Land of Fire is the victorious nation, while the Land of Lightning is the defeated nation. Since we have lost, we must accept their demands and do our best to meet them.

If they don't agree, then keep fighting!

Once these guys are beaten hard and scared, they won't dare to covet the Land of Fire anymore.

Danzo was very displeased by the arrogant behavior of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, and he was extremely pleased to see Renya take action.

Tobirama Senju showed no unusual expression, and even subtly observed the expressions on the faces of the others.

When he saw Shimura Danzo, he nodded slightly, then turned his gaze back to Renya.

This kid's behavior was beyond everyone's expectations; no one would have thought that Lian Ye would dare to threaten a daimyo.

Although it was a bit impulsive, Tobirama Senju was very satisfied with his performance...

He didn't even need to threaten the daimyo himself.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning looked at the black-haired, red-eyed boy and could not suppress the fear in his heart; his face was filled with a mixture of shock and anger.

That damn brat not only attacked me, but also dared to threaten me!

How dare he? How dare he!

A ninja from the Land of Fire dares to threaten a daimyo!

He felt that his authority as a daimyo had been challenged, and he was about to reprimand Renya for his behavior, but when he met those scarlet Sharingan eyes, he couldn't say a word.

His intuition told him that this kid was no pushover.

If you actually scold the other person, who knows what that brat might do?
