"Clang—"
The Kusanagi sword in Uchiha Sasuke's hand fell to the ground, making a light sound.
He lowered his head in disbelief and looked at his abdomen, which had already been pierced through by the samurai blade in Renya's hand.
Because during the earlier battle with Uchiha Madara, Renya had gone a long time without coating poison on his blade, he failed to kill Uchiha Madara at the lowest possible cost.
After that incident ended, he returned to his old habit and applied poison to the blade again.
Fortunately, in order to disguise himself as a samurai, Renya did not use his own personal blade—otherwise, Sasuke would have died on the spot.
At this moment the Six Paths ninja tools, and the Gunbai were all stored inside a sealing scroll.
"Cough…" Uchiha Sasuke suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although the blade wound had avoided vital points, it still caused him no small amount of damage.
"Kid, when you face someone stronger than you in the future, use your head. Don't just charge in foolishly and throw your life away," Renya couldn't help but remind him.
He had no intention of killing Sasuke; it was just that this troublesome kid kept rushing at him endlessly, so he had to teach him a lesson.
Luckily, Sasuke had run into him. If it had been Madara-sama instead, this kid would already have had his chest pierced through.
"You—"
Uchiha Sasuke had just opened his mouth when Renya pulled out the samurai blade and kicked him flying at the same time.
"Sasuke!" An anxious cry rang out.
Uzumaki Karin, who had been hiding in the shadows all this time, saw the injured Sasuke and could no longer care about remaining hidden. She immediately rushed out.
Without hesitation, she dashed to Sasuke's side, wrapped him in her arms, and at the same time extended her arm—covered in bite marks—toward his mouth.
"Sasuke, hurry and bite me!"
When Uchiha Sasuke saw the arm Karin offered, his instinct for survival made him open his mouth and bite down hard.
"Mm…" Uzumaki Karin let out a suppressed groan of pain, but a look of relief appeared on her face.
She could clearly feel her pure chakra and powerful regenerative ability continuously flowing through the wound into Sasuke's body, causing the injury in his abdomen to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Renya, what's going on with that little girl?" Shimura Danzō asked with great interest about Uzumaki Karin's ability to heal others.
And judging by her hair color, she should be a member of the Uzumaki clan, right?
"Her constitution is special. By biting her body, one can rapidly recover stamina and chakra. Even severe injuries can heal quickly."
When Suigetsu Hōzuki and Jūgo heard Renya's words, they subconsciously stepped in front of Karin and Sasuke.
No one was allowed to covet their companions!
Even if this guy was terrifyingly strong, they would not abandon their comrades.
Fortunately, Renya had no particular thoughts about Karin's constitution, and Shimura Danzō was merely curious.
Renya sheathed his blade again. He glanced at Sasuke, who was biting Karin to recover, and at Karin, who quietly protected him, his gaze completely calm.
"Kid, cherish the people who give everything for you."
At this point in time, the gradually darkening Uchiha Sasuke had, to be honest, already lost much of his humanity.
After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan and being swallowed by the flames of vengeance, he became cold-blooded and ruthless.
During his battle with Shimura Danzō, in order to kill Danzō, he did not care at all about Karin's life, using Chidori to pierce straight through both of them.
Later, he even wanted Haruno Sakura to kill Karin, completely treating people as expendable chess pieces.
Although he eventually came to his senses, the harm he had inflicted on others could never be undone.
At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke did not understand the meaning of Renya's words. Karin's constitution had already restored the injury to his abdomen.
He stood up and looked at Renya warily.
"Who exactly are you?!"
This guy was not just a little stronger—standing before him, Sasuke had no chance of winning at all.
Possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan—he was a member of the Uchiha clan!
Originally, Sasuke would not have been obsessed with other people's identities, but the Renya before him was one of the few remaining clan members.
Moreover, he could not sense any malice from Renya.
This feeling was completely different from that mysterious man!
Always speaking to him in the tone of an elder—this made Sasuke even more eager to know Renya's identity.
Sasuke was not the only one curious about who Renya was.
After he revealed the Mangekyō Sharingan, the way everyone looked at him changed.
The Fourth Raikage, the most hot-tempered of them all, crackled with lightning all over his body and shouted loudly,
"Hey, you sneaky bastard hiding your face! Who the hell are you?!"
Flying Thunder God Technique, Mangekyō Sharingan.
He had reason to suspect that Renya was a backup prepared by Konoha…
Perhaps Shimura Danzō had been exposed for using Kotoamatsukami, and in a fit of rage sent this guy out to cause trouble and prevent the Five Kage Summit from proceeding smoothly.
The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, remained silent, but the sand floating around him unconsciously accelerated its movement, revealing the turmoil in his heart.
Could this suddenly appearing Uchiha also be a member of the Akatsuki?
Faced with a stranger who appeared out of nowhere, he could only speculate with the greatest possible malice.
Hidden in another dimension, Uchiha Obito frowned beneath his mask.
His Sharingan pierced through the spatial barrier and fell upon Renya, trying to find some clue.
"Uchiha clan members… there shouldn't be any omissions. Could it be a backup Madara left behind? No, he never mentioned anything like that…"
No matter how Obito thought about it, he could not figure out why another Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan had suddenly appeared.
He didn't know whether Renya's appearance would affect the "Eye of the Moon" plan.
"Perhaps… I can try to pull him to my side."
Facing the focus of everyone present, Renya remained calm and unhurried.
"Since you all want to know who I am, then I'll take off my helmet and let you see."
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Renya slowly removed the samurai helmet from his head.
After all, whether or not anyone in this world recognized him made little difference.
Beneath the helmet was a cold, stern face.
His calm eyes swept across the entire scene, finally settling on Uchiha Sasuke's face.
"Kid, my identity and name are not important."
There was no way he could tell Sasuke that he had long since been struck from the Uchiha clan, right?
"You only need to know this: I witnessed the rise of the Uchiha, and I also saw its downfall. I walk along the edge of time, searching for a way to break destiny."
Shimura Danzō: "…"
Here he goes again. When Renya starts deceiving people, he really lays it on thick.
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Danzō knew Renya had fooled them again.
He couldn't help wondering whether he himself had been deceived by Renya in the past.
This guy could tell lies as if they were the truth—he must have been tricked more than a few times…
Witnessed the rise and fall of the Uchiha? Walking along the edge of time?
This was no longer something that could be explained by a simple surviving Uchiha.
The information contained in those words far exceeded the scope of understanding of most people present.
For a moment, everyone grew even more curious about Renya's identity.
