"I don't know who my team leader is?"

In his memory, newly graduated genin squads would be led by chunin or jonin.

Newly graduated genin lack experience and are prone to problems during missions.

At this point, experienced Chunin and Jonin are often needed to lead the team to ensure the success rate and survival rate of the mission.

--------

The next day, at the Konoha training ground.

Tobirama Senju walked over with the group assignment list and announced:

"Uchiha Kagami, Mitokado Homura, and Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"Moving to bed Koharu, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Renye."

"You wait here, a Jonin will lead the team and take you away shortly."

After saying this, Tobirama Senju turned and left.

He's such a busy man, how could he possibly have time to come and lead the team?

Only six people remained, staring at each other in bewilderment on the training field.

Danzo's face turned black.

Damn it, why is he so unlucky?

"Heh, Danzo, I never expected we'd be in the same squad."

The thought of being able to bully Danzo during future missions made Renya grin from ear to ear.

In Danzo's eyes, Renya's smile was no different from that of a demon.

"Danzo, we're teammates from now on," Koharu Utatane said.

"Yes." Danzo nodded.

Although he looked down on Koharu Utatane, she was at least better than Renya Uchiha.

A short while later, two middle-aged men wearing Jonin vests arrived at the training ground.

"Little ones, my name is Senju Tanaka, and this is Senju Yusuke. We are your team leaders."

Tanaka Senju has a more cheerful personality, while Yusuke Senju is more serious and rigid.

Renya wasn't too surprised that the Jonin leading the team was a ninja from the Senju clan.

Tobirama Senju wanted someone to monitor their performance, so he naturally chose a clansman he trusted.

"From now on, I will be your team leader Jonin," Senju Yusuke said as he approached Renya and the others.

"Hello, teacher." The three bowed respectfully.

Senju Yusuke looked at the three's performance and nodded in satisfaction.

"You guys come with me."

Soon, Yusuke Senju led Renya and the others to a riverbank.

"This will be our meeting point from now on."

"Next, let me see how strong you are." He paused, then said, "The three of you work together and last for half an incense stick's time against me."

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye's expression turned solemn, and she slowly drew her sword.

Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utatane came to Renya's side.

The three exchanged a glance, and Danzo launched the first attack.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Continuous Waves!"

Countless wind blades shot towards Senju Yusuke like arrows released from a bow.

Yusuke Senju easily dodged, and his Wind Release technique landed on the ground, kicking up dust.

At the same time, Lianye, holding a samurai sword, used the smoke and dust as cover to move to the right.

The moment he saw Yusuke Senju, he didn't hesitate and slashed down with his sword.

The blade grazed past the other person's ear, cutting off a few strands of black hair.

"Too slow." Senju Yusuke flashed and appeared behind Renya.

At the critical moment, Koharu Utatane wrapped the chain around Yusuke's ankle. "Sensei, don't underestimate us!"

But before he could finish speaking, Yusuke Senju threw a shuriken that had precisely severed the chain. The sharp shuriken grazed Koharu's cheek, startling her so much that she took a half-step back.

Danzo seized the opportunity to form hand seals, unleashing "Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Yusuke Senju leaped to the treetop, dodging the attack, and looked down at the tree with a cold laugh: "Good teamwork, but too many openings."

As he spoke, three shuriken shot towards the three of them.

Lian Ye swung her sword to parry, sparks flying everywhere.

Koharu turned and rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Danzo was forming hand seals and had no time to dodge. He was stabbed in the shoulder by a shuriken, and his face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Danzo, are you alright?" Koharu Utatane ran up to Danzo, wanting to use medical ninjutsu to treat him, but Danzo scolded her: "Don't worry about me, go help Uchiha Renya."

Upon hearing this, Koharu immediately went to help Renya.

Danzo Shimura clutched his shoulder, gritted his teeth, and rejoined the battle.

He knew his injury was holding the team back.

Yusuke Senju looked at Danzo with admiration, then kicked him away.

"If you're injured, then lie down and behave yourself!"

Danzo: "???"

The battle intensified, with the boys' panting and the clanging of weapons mingling together.

Just as Senju Yusuke used Earth Release to trap the three of them in the ground, the hourglass in his hand ran out.

Looking at the three people with only their heads sticking out of the ground, he curled his lips into a smile: "Half an incense stick's worth, barely passable."

He suddenly flung three headbands into the air, saying, "Next time, I won't let you off so easily."

"what!"

One of the headbands struck Shimura Danzo squarely in the face, making his already pale face even paler.

It was only then that Yusuke Senju remembered that the three of them were still trapped in the ground.

"Haha, sorry." He quickly released the three of them.

After informing them to meet here tomorrow morning, I left.

After Koharu was freed, she rushed to Danzo's side and treated him.

Lianye picked up the headband from the ground and handed it to the two of them.

"I'm sorry, I was the one who held us back just now," Danzo said in a low voice.

If he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have been able to complete the mission with such difficulty.

Lian Ye was somewhat surprised.

I never expected Danzo to say such things.

I originally wanted to slander him.

Since he apologized, let's just let it go.

"It's alright, just be more careful next time." Lian Ye waved her hand.

Danzo looked up in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.

Was he dreaming?

That bastard Uchiha Renya didn't even slander him?

Has the sun risen in the west?!

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her dorm, looked at the two of them with a smile.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Actually, I Didn't Want to Kill Him

The Tobirama Senju residence.

"Kid, how does it feel to be a ninja?"

Tobirama Senju noticed the ninja headband on Renya's forehead.

"It's alright, not difficult at all," Lian Ye said.

Tobirama Senju couldn't help but remind him: "Be extra careful when carrying out missions, as a slight mistake could cost you your life."

"I understand, uncle."

Lianye knew this without being reminded.

He's very afraid of losing his life...

Tobirama Senju murmured softly, "It's good that you know."

After all, he had lived with Lian Ye for four years. It would be a great pity if he were to die during a mission.

Fortunately, he is only a genin now, and with a jonin leading the team, he will not encounter any danger.

"Kid, go cook."

Tobirama Senju watched Renya enter the kitchen and sighed.

"I'll have to cook for myself from now on."

After becoming a ninja, Renye spent less time at home.

Sometimes, when I'm on a mission, it can take several days before I can go home.

As a result, no one cooked for him anymore.

Tobirama Senju somewhat regretted agreeing to Renya's request to graduate early.

Now the family is one less cook.

Now it's a matter of every meal we eat being one less we can have.

He called out to the kitchen, "Kid, make a few more dishes today."

After the meal, Lianye went to the training ground to practice her swordsmanship.

He drew his sword and suddenly noticed a nick on it, probably from when he defended himself against a shuriken earlier that day.

This really broke his heart, since it had cost him a lot of money.

Lian Ye sighed, "Sigh, when I have money in the future, I must buy a good knife!"

A top-quality samurai sword would cost at least 500,000 taels.

He needs at least a few years to accumulate the time.

"Let's make do with this for now." Lian Ye sheathed her sword.

Tobirama Senju happened to notice this scene and fell into deep thought.

This kid has been here for four years, and I don't think I've ever given him a gift.

Since Lian Ye wanted a good knife, I'll give him one.

It just so happens that I've always treasured this samurai sword...

Thinking it over, Tobirama Senju spoke up, "Kid, I'll give you a sword as a gift for becoming a ninja."

"Really?" Lian Ye's eyes lit up. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy.

He quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, uncle!"

"Come with me." Tobirama Senju entered the study.

"Uncle, where's the knife?" Lian Ye looked around but couldn't find it.
