After beating the two of them up and learning from their mouths about the deception of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, as well as Senju Hashirama's earnest pleas,
Senju Tobirama ultimately agreed to let Uchiha Madara stay and allowed him to live with his elder brother.
Even if he disliked Madara no matter how much, there was nothing he could do. Now that things had reached this point, he couldn't just kill Uchiha Madara, could he?
Besides, with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to do it anyway!
Forget it. Since Madara had abandoned the "Eye of the Moon" plan, he would simply turn a blind eye to Madara staying in the village.
In any case, Madara's appearance was also a good thing for his elder brother.
At least he wouldn't spend all day depressed anymore, and now had someone who could accompany him and chat.
The only thing that made him feel dissatisfied was—why could Uchiha Madara regain his youth?!
They were already old and declining, yet Madara not only came back from the dead, he even returned to his youthful state!
Watching a mortal enemy become young again right before his eyes was even harder to accept than killing him.
Senju Hashirama happily brought his close friend back home.
Senju Tobirama looked at Renya, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, snorted coldly, and said,
"Kid, I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"
Something this big, and he didn't even discuss it with him. This kid was becoming more and more lawless.
When they got home later, he definitely wouldn't let him off!
With that, Senju Tobirama didn't look again at the two people lying on the ground and turned around, leaving the entrance of Konoha.
All because the appearance of that inherently evil Uchiha Madara had delayed the progress of his research in the laboratory.
It seemed he needed to conduct some research on extending lifespan.
Although birth, aging, illness, and death were natural laws, Uchiha Madara had already broken those laws.
If Madara could do it, why couldn't he?
"Danzo, stop sleeping."
Only after Senju Tobirama's back disappeared from sight did Renya climb up from the ground. He dusted off the dirt on his body and lightly kicked Danzo, who was lying motionless on the ground, signaling him to hurry and get up.
"The old man has already left, so stop pretending."
Shimura Danzo: …
When did he pretend? Tobirama-sensei had clearly struck with lethal force.
At this moment he felt pain all over his body.
Even simple breathing made his chest feel heavy.
He was just an ordinary person, nothing like a freak with powerful recovery ability like Renya.
After being violently beaten by Senju Tobirama, lying in bed for several days was unavoidable.
"Danzo, stop pretending and get up. Sleeping isn't allowed at the village gate!"
Seeing that his good friend still lay there without moving, Renya could only help him up from the ground first.
While supporting him, he muttered softly,
"Danzo, I don't think you're usually the type who jokes around..."
As he spoke, he noticed his good friend's bruised and swollen face, and the rest of his complaints abruptly stopped.
Wait… he wasn't joking!
Renya belatedly realized that his good friend hadn't been pretending to be pitiful at all—he had truly been beaten senseless by that old guy Senju Tobirama.
"Me… medical ninja…"
Shimura Danzo looked like he was about to cry but had no tears. Trembling, he forced out a few words.
You see, when someone doesn't care about you, when they see you lying on the ground barely alive, they'll even think you're just lying there taking a nap.
"I'll immediately call Tsunade to treat you!"
Renya immediately carried Danzo on his back and headed toward Tsunade's residence.
After coming of age, Tsunade had moved out of the courtyard.
With Tsunade's gambling-loving personality, there was no way she could afford a house. The residence she lived in had been a birthday gift from Renya.
A fat sheep at the gambling table would be lucky enough if she didn't end up owing money to others.
As for buying a house, that would probably be impossible in this lifetime…
Very soon, under Tsunade's treatment, Shimura Danzo completely recovered.
"Danzo-san, were you abused by my Renya-san?!"
Thinking about the miserable state Danzo had been in when he was brought here, Tsunade spoke with a strange expression.
If she hadn't personally treated him, he wouldn't have been able to get out of bed for at least ten days.
In her impression, Renya-san didn't seem like the kind of man who abused people at home…
"I didn't beat Danzo. Your second grandfather did it!"
Renya immediately defended himself. Danzo was his good friend—how could he possibly beat him?
Shimura Danzo nodded slightly and explained softly,
"My injuries were caused by Tobirama-sensei, but the reason I was beaten has a lot to do with Renya."
If he had known that traveling through time would lead to getting beaten up, he wouldn't have followed Renya through time.
Hearing this, Tsunade looked at Renya with disdain, as if she had figured out the whole story.
Renya-san really had no sense of responsibility!
It was bad enough that he didn't take responsibility himself when something happened, but he even pushed Danzo-san out to take the blame.
Not a bit of responsibility.
It seemed she would have to report Renya-san's behavior today to Koharu-san.
"What kind of look is that?"
Renya looked at Tsunade's expression of disappointment and confusion and asked in bewilderment.
What was wrong with this girl today? Why did the way she looked at him feel so strange?
This feeling was exactly the same as when he faced Koharu.
"Can't I look?" Tsunade muttered dissatisfiedly, then stretched out her hand toward him and said,
"The treatment fee is one million ryō!"
Renya: ???
A treatment fee of one million—why don't you just go rob someone?!
Even an S-rank mission only paid about one million ryō.
This girl Tsunade just opened her mouth and asked for it. Did she think making money was that easy for him?
"Danzo-san, Renya-san doesn't want to pay your treatment fee." Tsunade looked at Danzo helplessly and said, "In that case, you'll have to pay it yourself."
Shimura Danzo: …
A medical bill of one million ryō—how could he possibly have that much money?
All along, whenever he bought things in the village, they were charged to Renya's account. He never had to spend a single coin.
Naturally, he carried almost no money with him.
As for when he used to be Hokage, he had never even paid himself a salary.
After all, he didn't need to spend money in the village…
So right now, Danzo simply couldn't produce such a huge sum of one million for medical expenses.
"Forget it. One million it is."
Renya naturally knew his good friend had no money, so he could only take out one million ryō and give it to Tsunade.
He might as well treat it as living expenses for her.
Anyway, it wouldn't be long before Tsunade took this money to gamble at his casino.
When that time came, it would return to his hands again…
"Hehe, thank you, Renya-san!"
After getting the money, Tsunade smiled brightly and left without paying any more attention to the two of them.
However, she did not head to the casino as Renya had expected. Instead, she made a turn midway.
...
Koharu's residence.
"Tsunade, why did you come?"
Koharu was somewhat surprised by Tsunade's sudden visit. Normally Tsunade wouldn't come looking for her unless something happened.
"Koharu-san, let me tell you—Renya-san really is not a good person!"
Next, she exaggeratedly recounted what had happened earlier, along with her own guesses.
"I didn't expect Renya-kun to treat Danzo like that!"
Koharu covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Passersby could occasionally hear the whispers of the two women, and it seemed the people they were discussing were Renya and Danzo.
