Renya and Shimura Danzō greeted Uchiha Izuna, then left the camp and headed for the battlefield.
Before parting, Izuna specifically told them to look after the wounded clansmen on the battlefield.
Neither of them refused.
"Renya, if Tobirama-sensei finds out you're doing this, what will you do?"
Shimura Danzō looked at Renya worriedly.
He felt that his good friend joining the Uchiha side in this time and space was not a very good choice. And he had even agreed to help those wounded Uchiha clansmen on the battlefield.
If Tobirama-sensei found out, Renya would definitely be in big trouble!
For some reason, he always had a bad feeling that his good friend was going to have terrible luck, and it might even drag him down too.
He couldn't really explain why he felt this way, so he could only subconsciously remind his good friend to be careful.
Helping some Uchiha clansmen on the battlefield was fine, but he absolutely must not have any thoughts about messing with Tobirama-sensei of this time and space.
After all, who could guarantee that the time and space they were in was truly a parallel world?
If the two of them had come to the past of their own time and space, wouldn't Renya's actions be changing history in another way?
"No need to panic, it's just a parallel world."
After the last trip through time, he had realized that the time and space they traveled to were all parallel worlds of the original story.
They would not have any impact on the era they came from.
Shimura Danzō looked at his good friend's resolute expression, but the worry in his heart still had not dissipated.
He just didn't say it out loud.
Since Renya was so certain, there probably wouldn't be a problem…
The Uchiha camp was only thirty li away from the battlefield, and the two quickly arrived at the front line.
At this moment, the Uchiha and Senju clans were locked in a fierce battle.
"Hashirama!"
"Madara!"
The young clan leaders of the two sides shouted angrily and launched fierce attacks at each other.
Anyone who didn't know better would think the two were fighting to the death.
But Renya could tell that the two were obviously slacking off. Their battle was all thunder and no rain.
It didn't cause any real damage at all.
Or rather, there was no damage in the first place.
In contrast, the Uchiha clansmen and the Senju clansmen wished they could kill each other immediately.
The brutality of the fighting was self-evident.
"You wait here, I'll go save two Uchiha clansmen first."
Renya instructed Danzō, afraid that his good friend might get involved.
The battlefield was quite dangerous. He didn't want Danzō to risk himself—if he really ran into danger, it would be troublesome.
After all, the lowest level among those participating in the battle were chūnin, and there were many jōnin-level fighters as well.
It was better for him to handle this kind of thing. After all, he had promised Uchiha Izuna.
On the eastern battlefield of the Land of Fire, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
An Uchiha clansman was covered in blood, his chakra almost completely exhausted.
He knelt on one knee, panting violently, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Damn it, am I going to die here today?
So unwilling… I didn't even live to see the day the war ends…
A Senju clansman approached with a ferocious grin, the tachi in his hand gleaming with cold light.
"Uchiha scum, stop struggling meaninglessly and get wounded!"
He raised the tachi high, aiming it at the opponent who no longer had the strength to resist.
The Uchiha clansman closed his eyes unwillingly, ready to welcome the arrival of death.
That was how war was—it could easily take a person's life.
But people in the ninja world were already used to this, and even this dying man didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
However, the expected searing pain did not come.
He opened his eyes subconsciously and saw a long-haired man appear in front of him at some point.
That person used only one hand to grab the wrist of the Senju clansman holding the blade. The tachi was suspended in midair, unable to advance even an inch!
The Senju clansman's face flushed red as he used all his strength to break free, but he found that the other person's hand did not move at all.
"Ren… Renya-sama?!"
The rescued Uchiha clansman said in disbelief.
He was a clansman who had followed Uchiha Izuna to the front line, so he naturally recognized this powerful man whom even Izuna-sama treated with respect.
He never expected that at the critical moment between life and death, it would be this man who saved him!
Renya did not turn his head, only said lightly:
"Go back and get treated."
"Yes, thank you very much, Renya-sama!"
The Uchiha clansman felt as if he had been granted amnesty. Enduring the pain, he staggered to his feet and quickly retreated toward the rear of the battlefield.
But not long after he left, he was caught up by other Senju clansmen.
In the end, he died miserably under the enemy's blade.
As for the Senju clansman who was being suppressed by Renya, his eyes were already filled with fear and despair.
He was a dignified jōnin of the Senju clan, yet he couldn't break free from the other party's control.
Just how strong was this guy?!
Just as he was waiting for death to arrive in despair, he discovered that Renya did not deliver the killing blow. Instead, he released the hand that was gripping his wrist.
Senju clansman: "???"
What happened? Why didn't he kill me?
Renya only turned his head slightly and looked at him calmly.
There was no killing intent in that gaze, no anger or disdain—only indifference.
Then, under his puzzled gaze, Renya disappeared without a sound.
"We can't change their endings, can we?"
Shimura Danzō had naturally seen the outcome of that Uchiha clansman whom Renya had saved.
"Everyone has their fate. I did my best."
The reason Renya stepped in was simply because he had promised Uchiha Izuna.
But heaven did not follow human wishes. Even if he saved an Uchiha clansman, the other party would soon die anyway.
Perhaps this was what people called a plot-mandated death.
"Then will you still help?" Shimura Danzō turned his head and looked at his good friend in confusion.
"I'll try. I already promised them."
Renya did not refuse because of this. Instead, he once again stepped in to help other Uchiha clansmen who were in danger.
Some clansmen died soon after being saved, while others survived smoothly.
But this couldn't be said to mean that Renya had changed history. It could only mean that their lives were not fated to end there.
Even without his help, some people would still have survived.
The Senju clansmen discovered that whenever they were about to cut down an Uchiha, someone would always come to stop them—but that person never attacked them.
This matter soon reached the Senju commander's tent.
"You're saying someone is stopping us from killing the Uchiha?"
Senju Tobirama looked strange, unable to understand what the meaning of doing this was.
Stopping the Senju clansmen from killing the Uchiha clansmen—what use was that…
"It seems I'll have to go to the battlefield personally and take a look."
Senju Tobirama couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it, and in the end decided to go to the battlefield himself to see what that guy was up to.
"Tobirama-sama, Hashirama-sama won't let you go to the battlefield…"
The Senju clansman who came to report said weakly.
Although Tobirama-sama had great prestige in the clan, the young clan leader was Hashirama-sama after all.
"I'll explain this to my elder brother myself."
Senju Tobirama already knew that Uchiha Izuna had gone to the front line, and by now he should have arrived at the battlefield.
When the time came, even if his elder brother blamed him, he could use Uchiha Izuna as a shield.
Besides, if he didn't go to the battlefield soon, who knew how long his elder brother would keep messing around…
