"Sorry, Izuna, I really did my best."
After a period of trying, Renya discovered that the clansmen he saved would soon die.
In the end, he realized he was powerless to change any of it.
Fortunately, he had never intended to change history in the first place; he had always treated himself as a traveler who came to this spacetime.
"Not planning to try again?" Shimura Danzō looked at Renya sitting in the tree and asked softly.
He had said long ago that his good friend couldn't change history; it was just that Renya said he wanted to try again.
But why was Renya able to interfere with so many things the last time they crossed into another spacetime?
Although Shimura Danzō didn't know what happened in the original spacetime, he could guess that Renya's actions had changed that timeline's history to a certain extent.
For example, the version of himself in that spacetime should have been killed by Uchiha Sasuke during the Five Kage Summit.
Only because of their arrival did the ending of dying on the spot change.
The "Pot Shadow" would be killed by Uchiha Sasuke later, but that also extended his life to some degree.
But the Uchiha clansmen Renya saved were different—they died on the battlefield very quickly.
Why could his good friend interfere with the previous spacetime, yet not directly interfere with this one?
An ominous premonition inevitably rose in Shimura Danzō's heart.
Unless…
"Renya, how about you stop picking on Tobirama-sensei."
If his guess was right, Renya would definitely be in big trouble, and there was a strong chance he would get dragged down too.
Renya was up in the tree watching the leisurely fight between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. Hearing his good friend's words out of nowhere, he was immediately a bit confused.
"Why?"
He had finally come to this spacetime—of course he had to bully that old Senju Tobirama.
Otherwise, wouldn't this trip be for nothing?
Looks like Danzō was still worrying about changing history.
"Don't worry, the ones we're crossing into are parallel timelines. Nothing will happen."
Renya could only comfort Danzō and tell him to relax.
Shimura Danzō looked at Renya's confident expression, and the doubts in his heart gradually faded.
Is that really so?
Forget it. Believe in his good friend's judgment!
"Madara, that person sitting in the tree is really strong. Is he one of your clansmen?" Senju Hashirama noticed Renya staring at their fight and felt a bit uncomfortable.
Being watched by a powerhouse while they were slacking off on the battlefield… that didn't seem very appropriate…
"He's a helper my father found to deal with the Senju. Be careful on the battlefield," Uchiha Madara did not deny it.
He had learned the whole story from Izuna and was very interested in this powerful clansman who was traveling around the ninja world.
It was just that he had never seen him make a move, and he seemed to have no interest in fighting and killing.
But that also made him breathe easier.
If Renya were to start slaughtering Senju clansmen on the battlefield at will, that guy Senju Tobirama would definitely bring people to the battlefield.
And once his younger brother Izuna heard the news, he would also come to support them.
Then he and Hashirama wouldn't be so leisurely anymore.
"I understand." Senju Hashirama nodded with a serious expression.
He felt an extremely dangerous aura from Renya, though he didn't sense any malice in it.
Even if he didn't sense malice from Renya, that didn't mean he could ignore this guy's existence.
He could slack off on the battlefield with Madara, but he had to ensure the safety of the Senju clansmen.
If Renya started slaughtering their people, he would definitely go stop him immediately.
In the end, he was the young clan head of the Senju.
The fight between the two continued, but the previous atmosphere was gone. Renya's appearance made both of them preoccupied.
"Are we still going to stay on the battlefield?"
The guess in Shimura Danzō's heart hadn't completely disappeared; instead, that uneasy feeling grew stronger and stronger.
He always felt that his good friend was going farther and farther down the road of courting death…
Renya waved his hand and explained patiently:
"Don't worry. I feel like Senju Tobirama is coming."
With his understanding of that Senju Tobirama, a powerful Uchiha suddenly appearing on the front lines—
He would definitely bring people personally to check it out!
Rather than Renya sneaking into the Senju camp to look for him, it was better to let that old guy come find him himself.
Shimura Danzō: "..."
For some reason, it always felt like they were about to be finished.
Sometimes intuition is frighteningly accurate. He just didn't say it out loud to avoid dampening his good friend's spirits.
Hopefully it wasn't like what he was guessing.
Worst case, he and Renya would be finished together…
Renya didn't notice Danzō's uneasy expression and was looking forward to Senju Tobirama of this spacetime arriving as soon as possible.
He was going to give him an unforgettable lesson!
Heh heh heh, Senju Tobirama, born evil—letting you use me for experiments.
Now I can finally get my revenge!
Renya, who always held grudges, how could he possibly forget how Tobirama secretly knocked him out and used him for experiments?
Back then, he'd only had a few verbal disputes with Ōnoki, and he remembered that for so many years.
Let alone human experimentation.
It was just that over these years of getting along with Senju Tobirama, the two had already built a deep emotional foundation.
So he hadn't exploded…
After all, adults aren't children; before doing impulsive things, they always weigh the pros and cons.
Who told them they'd been together day and night for so many years?
Besides, that old guy's experiments weren't without benefits to him.
So that matter just passed like that.
Of course, only when it came to Senju Tobirama…
If it were anyone else, they'd have been cut into pieces long ago.
Fortunately, although he didn't have a chance for revenge in Renya's own spacetime, in this parallel spacetime he could beat Senju Tobirama to his heart's content and vent his anger.
He'd just treat it as revenge for the human experimentation back then.
Seeing his good friend's excited look, Shimura Danzō sighed silently.
If his guess was true, with his good friend doing this, they would definitely be in big trouble.
But before that, the one who would be unlucky first would definitely be the young Tobirama-sensei.
Who would have thought that the Uchiha kid Tobirama-sensei adopted would grow up, cross spacetime to his youth, and then beat him up ruthlessly?
At this moment, Senju Tobirama, who was rushing toward the battlefield, felt the unease in his heart growing stronger and stronger.
For no reason, he had a feeling that the Uchiha who appeared on the battlefield was coming for him.
...
In Renya's spacetime, at Senju Hashirama's residence.
"Hahaha, Little Tsuna, I won!"
Senju Hashirama lifted the dice cup and found that his roll was higher, and immediately laughed excitedly toward the sky.
"As expected, my gambling skills are superior. Pay up, pay up!"
Last night he lost everything at the casino, down to his underwear. He hadn't expected to find a sense of superiority with his granddaughter today.
Looks like his gambling skills were as strong as ever; yesterday must have just been bad luck.
Tonight he had to go to the casino again and win back all the money he lost!
Tsunade slapped the money onto the table with a dark face, clearly unwilling.
Just then, she suddenly noticed that her grandfather's smile had disappeared, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
