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

"Renya-kun, what level of mission are we going to carry out?" Koharu Utatane couldn't help but ask.

When she usually carries out a mission alone, she chooses either a B-level or A-level mission.

For their own safety, they generally avoid choosing tasks that are too difficult.

"Hmph, of course I'll take on an S-rank mission," Shimura Danzo said coldly.

Since we're going to team up, we have to take on challenging tasks.

If others knew they were a team on an A-level mission, how would they save face?!

“Danzo is right, we should accept an S-rank mission,” Renya agreed.

He originally wanted to take the two of them on an A-level mission, but ultimately gave up on the idea.

Three Jonin teaming up for an A-rank mission? That's definitely suspicious.

If Madara Uchiha finds out—it would clearly be alerting the enemy!

As a result, Madara might change his target and attack someone else.

Renya naturally didn't want to see that happen, so she thought it better to let Madara focus his attention on Danzo and Koharu. As long as they carried out the mission together, they could look after each other and there shouldn't be any major problems.

Since Madara Uchiha wanted to recruit him, he wouldn't kill Danzo and Koharu in front of him, as that would only backfire.

Based on his understanding of Madara, the other party would most likely use the tactic of using someone else to do the dirty work.

It's the same tactic used to trick Obito Uchiha into joining them.

If he takes precautions in advance, Ban's plan will be difficult to achieve.

……

Seeing that Renya agreed with his suggestion, Shimura Danzo nodded in satisfaction.

Only those who dare to take risks and fight hard can become Hokage!

Seeing that both of them had expressed their opinions, Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, naturally had no reason to refuse.

Lian Ye accepted an S-rank pursuit mission at the mission gathering place—

An elite Jonin from the Land of Wind has defected to the border of the Land of Fire. He possesses many secrets of the Land of Wind and is incredibly powerful, having single-handedly defeated numerous ninja squads. To avoid conflict between the two countries, the Land of Wind requests Konoha's assistance in apprehending him...

The three then left the village and headed towards the border of the Land of Fire.

They were completely unaware that along the way, a black cat was perched on the treetop at intervals, closely watching their every move.

Since the three were not sensory ninjas, they did not notice this situation at all.

In a simple wooden hut in the ninja world.

"Ban, what's wrong with you?"

Hashirama Senju noticed that his best friend was lost in thought and asked with concern.

His only worry now is that Ban might trick Lian Ye into joining the "Eye of the Moon" project.

"It's nothing." Madara Uchiha shook his head.

Lian Ye is quite cautious when carrying out missions with his teammates.

But this little bit of cleverness was no match for Madara Uchiha.

And how can this kid be so sure that he will only attack his teammates?

The people who gave Lian Ye the opportunity to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan were not just his two teammates.

It's just that Hashirama has been staying by Madara's side, which has prevented him from making a move for the time being.

Of course, this also explains why Madara Uchiha wasn't in a hurry...

If he was eager to win over Renya, he wouldn't care about Hashirama's obstruction at all.

After all, Hashirama couldn't stop him from carrying out his plan!

……

The border of the Fire Nation.

Lianye and the others arrived at the location where the Sunagakure rogue ninja was last seen, according to the intelligence report.

"Renya-kun, we need to capture our target alive," Koharu Utatane said, frowning as she looked at the intelligence report in her hand.

This task is indeed quite difficult; no wonder it's an S-rank mission.

It is well known that capturing the enemy alive is more difficult than killing them.

Especially since the opponent was an elite Jonin from Sunagakure.

They need to possess strength far exceeding that of their enemies in order to capture them alive.

Otherwise, you might get killed while trying to capture the enemy alive...

"Capture alive?" Lian Ye curled her lip in disdain. "I can inform you in advance that the mission has failed."

Always cautious, he had no intention of capturing his opponent alive and would not take any risks to do so.

Besides, with Madara Uchiha watching from the shadows, he would be even less likely to do such a thing.

The worst that can happen is that the mission fails.

Danzo's eyes lit up upon hearing this, as if he understood Renya's intention—

Completing the mission is just a pretense; seizing intelligence is the real goal!

If they find the rogue ninja before Sunagakure, they can kill him and then transport the body back to the village.

You should know that the mountain clan can obtain information about corpses...

In this way, the village will learn the secrets of Sunagakure!

The Hidden Sand Village made a fatal mistake: inviting other countries to help capture rogue ninja.

Hmph, as expected of Lian Ye!

If Lian Ye hadn't reminded him, he would never have thought of this aspect.

Renya had no idea that Danzo had thought so much in such a short time; he simply didn't want to take any risks.

Just then, the sound of explosive tags exploding came from afar.

Lianye and the other two exchanged a glance, then hurried toward the direction from which the sound came.

It was obvious that the Sand Ninja team had encountered a rogue ninja.

"Damn it, we can't let them succeed!"

Danzo clenched his fists and quickened his pace, quickly rising to the front.

Lianye: "???"

……

……

P.S.: As long as I don't make any promises I won't keep, there won't be any problems. Thank you all for the gifts, love you all, *sobs*

Chapter 262 Reaping the Benefits

"Little brat, you really won't let us leave?"

On the border of the Land of Fire, a middle-aged man wearing a Sunagakure headband on his forehead coldly questioned the girl in front of him.

A clear mark was left on his headband by a sharp blade, a sign of a rogue ninja.

Behind the man stood two rogue ninja from Sunagakure, both staring at the girl with unfriendly expressions.

Dissatisfied with the policies of the Second Kazekage, the three organized a rebellion, but the plan was leaked and only the three of them managed to escape.

They had just infiltrated the border of the Land of Fire when they were caught up by the girl in front of them.

This girl is none other than Chiyo, the genius poison maker and puppeteer of Sunagakure.

"Come back with me honestly, and I promise I won't hurt you," Chiyo said coldly.

Her task was to stall the group until the village's support team arrived.

"Little girl, when we were fighting on the battlefield, you were still in your mother's womb." The middle-aged man was amused.

Although Chiyo was a well-known genius in Sunagakure, her genius was limited to her peers.

They are simply incomparable to these seasoned elite Jonin...

No matter what, Chiyo was just a Jonin with some talent, and her combat experience was naturally not as rich as theirs.

As long as they don't act recklessly, there's basically no chance of things going wrong.

They were all ninjas from the same village, and they all knew Chiyo's methods very well.

Yes, that's what they were thinking...

"Captain, why waste words with her? Just kill her and be done with it."

"The pursuers from the village are almost here; we must finish this quickly!"

The two Sand Village Jonin each expressed their opinions.

"Then kill him."

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered; he knew that delay would only lead to complications, so he naturally couldn't let Chiyo stall for time.

Once you kill him and infiltrate the Land of Fire, you won't have to worry about the Sand Village's pursuers.

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them charged toward the girl in a triangular formation.

Upon seeing this, Chiyo's expression hardened, and she immediately took out the scroll and opened it.

Peng——

As the smoke cleared, five puppets appeared in front of them.

She controlled the puppet to meet the attack of the three Jonin, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

The three Jonin showed no mercy, each move aimed at killing, hoping to end the battle quickly.

Chiyo truly lived up to her reputation as a genius of Sunagakure, skillfully handling the attacks of the three without being at a disadvantage.

On a tree trunk not far away, three pairs of eyes silently watched everything.

"Renya-kun, aren't we going to help?" Koharu Utatane asked the two of them, puzzled.

"No rush. Let's wait until they're both exhausted before we go and pick up the scraps," Lian Ye explained softly, her gaze remaining fixed on the girl.

He felt that the girl was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

“Renya is right. We just need to sit back and reap the benefits; we don’t need to worry about anything else,” Shimura Danzo agreed.

Regardless of which side wins in the end, they can go and steal kills.

Their current goal is not to capture the enemy alive, but to kill them and bring their corpses back to the village in exchange for intelligence.

Although the war between Sunagakure and Konoha has stopped, it does not mean that the two sides are on good terms. The two countries are still hostile to each other.

Danzo was naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity to obtain information about Sunagakure. If possible, he even wanted to kill the Sunagakure girl while he was at it.

At such a young age, he can fight against three Jonin. If this guy grows up, he will definitely pose a threat to the village!

Danzo Shimura was very good at nipping danger in the bud.

"Renya, should we also..." Danzo made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.

???

Renya and Koharu looked at Danzo in shock, seemingly not expecting him to have such a thought.

Has this guy already turned into a 'pot king'?

With these thoughts in mind, Renya actually wanted to kill the people of Sunagakure.

This is not a time of war; if such a thing were exposed, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

"Danzo, we can't do this!" Koharu Utatane immediately objected.

If the matter were to be exposed, it would have a huge impact on the village, and she didn't want that to happen.

This behavior is clearly escalating the conflict between Konoha and Sunagakure.
