[Exactly, exactly.]Danzo followed up with a message in the live chat.
[I believe in Lord Third.]—ID: Minato Namikaze
Minato genuinely trusted Hiruzen's words. Back then, he had drawn too much attention to himself — a bright flame in the darkness, and flames always draw danger.
[Let's hope that's really the case.]—Tobirama Senju sent a cold message.
He had originally intended to dig deeper into the issue, but seeing Minato's reaction, he chose to remain silent for now.
Both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo let out a silent sigh of relief.
Only they knew how tense that moment had been. If Hiruzen hadn't reacted so quickly and deflected the focus, the situation would have blown up completely.
"As expected… when it comes to matters like this, I still can't outmaneuver you, Sarutobi."Danzo thought to himself as he shifted his attention back to Hayashi Ren.
At this moment, Hayashi Ren had just secured the blue buff. As he emerged from the blue side jungle, he suddenly saw two high-speed spinning objects hurtling toward him with a whoosh.
It was Kiba Inuzuka's first skill — Fang Over Fang!
Without the slightest hesitation, Hayashi Ren darted backward.
Boom!Kiba slammed into the ground, completely missing his skill.
"Hmph! I—"Kiba started to shout something cocky, but—
Hayashi Ren suddenly leapt forward, executing a Leaf Shadow Dance that lifted Kiba into the air, immediately followed by a Shadow Clone Jutsu.
BANG! BANG!
Hayashi Ren and his clone unleashed a Leaf Whirlwind simultaneously, both attacks landing cleanly on Kiba.
Level 10 Hayashi Ren vs. Level 6 Kiba.
The difference was brutal.
In the blink of an eye, Kiba's health bar plummeted to critical.
Just then, Gaara and Neji arrived on the scene, staring coldly at Hayashi Ren.
"Help me!"Kiba shouted in panic.
"Hayashi Ren—"Neji began to speak, but was cut off.
BOOM!Hayashi Ren activated Deep Blue Smite, then followed up with several rapid basic attacks. Kiba's remaining health vanished instantly.
Kill secured.
Ren didn't waste a second. He turned and started running.
And as he ran, he couldn't help but taunt:
"Three-on-one and you still lose a teammate? Do you guys even know how to play?"
"HAYASHI REN!"Neji roared, his fury exploding as he chased after Ren.
Gaara followed closely, a terrifying expression twisting across his face. His eyes looked deranged, and he kept mumbling the same line like a broken record:
"Kill you… kill you… I'll kill you…"
Watching this unfold, every ninja watching from the MOBA space burst into laughter.
[This kid is seriously hilarious. I thought he was going to fight all three of them head-on, but nope—he just turned tail and ran! And threw in a savage taunt too. Absolutely adorable.]—Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi
She couldn't stop giggling in her office, watching Ren frantically flee for his life.
[I don't think that's it.]—ID: Tobirama Senju
[I've got a feeling this little guy, Hayashi Ren… he might actually be setting up for a counterattack.]—ID: Minato Namikaze
These two tactical geniuses had a sharp eye for battlefield dynamics. Their remarks made everyone watching focus more closely on what looked like Hayashi Ren simply running away.
Shhhhh…
Just as Gaara reached out, about to cast Sand Coffin, a sharp voice cut through the air:
"It's not time to die yet!"
