Tobirama Senju's Killing Intent

Tobirama Senju Residence.

Renye came to the courtyard and eagerly unrolled the scroll.

The scroll recorded three ninjutsu techniques, namely:

Great Fireball Technique, Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, and Dragon Fire Technique.

All three were signature Fire Style techniques of the Uchiha Clan, ranked at C-class.

Renye was overjoyed.

With these three techniques, his strength would definitely skyrocket.

The top priority was to learn and master them.

After memorizing the theory of the Great Fireball Technique from the scroll, Renye closed it and began preparing to practice the technique's release.

The key to the Great Fireball Technique was converting the chakra in one's body into fire nature and controlling it precisely.

This required a deep understanding and extreme control over chakra.

Renye closed his eyes tightly, calmed his mind, and sensed the flow of chakra within his body.

He tried to guide the chakra, gathering it in his abdomen. The process wasn't smooth—the chakra darted around like a mischievous child.

But Renye didn't give up. After many attempts, he finally managed to stabilize the chakra in his abdomen.

Next, he had to convert this chakra into fire nature.

Although Renye had never tested his chakra nature, he didn't need to think twice—it was definitely fire nature, though there might be other natures he hadn't discovered yet.

He planned to buy a chakra test paper later to check his affinities.

For now, he'd focus on learning these three techniques first...

Renye concentrated, gradually changing the nature of his chakra.

As the chakra transformed, he could clearly feel a scorching energy rising in his abdomen, as if a flame were burning inside.

Once the chakra conversion was complete, Renye began channeling the fire-nature chakra to his throat.

This was a critical step, requiring precise control over the amount and flow speed of the chakra.

A single mistake could not only fail the technique but also burn himself.

Renye carefully pushed the chakra forward. His throat gradually grew hot, and he could feel a powerful energy gathering there.

With the preparations done, Renye quickly formed hand seals.

His hand speed was fast—he had practiced it deliberately before.

In battle, hand-seal speed was crucial. The one who finished first could release their technique and attack the enemy, seizing the initiative.

Not counting that one cheat who just clapped his hands and summoned whatever he wanted...

His hands moved swiftly, completing the signs: Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger.

Each gesture was precise—the command sequence for the Great Fireball Technique.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Using the power of his lungs, Renye forcefully expelled the chakra gathered in his throat.

In an instant, a fireball half a meter in diameter shot from his mouth, carrying rolling waves of heat and dazzling flames as it roared forward, stirring up a powerful gust of wind across the training ground.

Renye stared blankly at the astonishing scene before him. His lips parted slightly, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Could it be... I'm a genius?"

He never expected to successfully perform the Great Fireball Technique on his very first try.

Learning ninjutsu heavily depended on talent. For the same technique, a gifted person could learn it in no time—even just by seeing it once—while someone with less talent would need a long time.

Thinking this, the corners of Renye's mouth lifted into a smug grin.

He decided to try another Great Fireball. The first one had consumed a third of his chakra, so he could still release it twice more.

This time, he planned to increase the chakra output and see how powerful it would be.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Renye formed hand seals. A massive fireball several meters in diameter, like a beast breaking free from its cage, shot from his mouth and roared forward.

Wherever the fireball passed, the air ignited instantly, crackling and popping, stirring up a fierce gust on the training ground strong enough to overturn rocks and gravel.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Tobirama Senju, who had just returned home. His gaze locked onto Renye, his face showing undisguised shock.

As a ninjutsu genius, he had seen countless shinobi train, but a child this young, perfectly executing a C-class technique on his first try—such talent and insight were extremely rare!

Tobirama couldn't help but recall his own grueling training in his youth and the countless days and nights spent creating and perfecting ninjutsu.

He silently marveled that this brat's future was limitless.

But soon, he remembered Renye's identity—an Uchiha.

Tobirama's expression instantly darkened. He feared Renye might become a second Madara Uchiha!

He stared at Renye, brows tightly knit, wariness rising in his heart—it seemed he would have to pay even closer attention to this brat's growth and mental development.

If Renye showed any signs of trouble, he was already prepared to strike him down when the moment came.

A man who had spent his entire life on guard against the Uchiha would never allow a wicked, powerful Uchiha to be born!

Renye was still immersed in the overwhelming might of the Great Fireball Technique.

Suddenly, he felt a fierce killing intent lock onto him.

It made him shiver involuntarily, and he turned his head back on instinct.

There stood Tobirama Senju, staring at him with a dark expression.

Seeing that, he swallowed nervously, his heart pounding with tension.

What the hell, what's this Old Man's problem?

Renye was genuinely terrified that Tobirama might suddenly make a move to kill him.

Right now, he was nothing but a weakling—if Tobirama wanted him dead, Renye wouldn't even have a chance to beg for mercy.

A Kage-level powerhouse killing a brat who wasn't even a ninja was easier than crushing an ant.

Fortunately, Tobirama quickly reined in his Chakra, acting as if nothing had happened.

He lifted the ingredients in his hand and said, "Brat, I bought the food."

Renye said nothing, his face already pale as a sheet.

Damn it, he'd almost pissed himself from sheer fright.

Tobirama didn't say another word; he simply carried the ingredients to the kitchen on his own.

He knew the brat would need a moment to pull himself together.

Watching Tobirama leave, Renye let out a relieved sigh, his tense body instantly relaxing.

Only then did he realize his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and when the wind blew, it sent a chill through him.

He was humbled. This time, he was truly humbled.

Renye finally remembered that Tobirama Senju wasn't a saint like Hashirama Senju—he'd better keep his distance.

Otherwise, if he pissed that guy off one day and got himself killed, he'd have nowhere to cry about it.

"Damn bastard, I'll get my revenge!!!" Renye clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

At that moment, his desire to grow stronger reached its peak.

That feeling of life and death being at someone else's whim infuriated him.

He would never forget that sensation!

In the kitchen.

Tobirama set down the ingredients, a hint of embarrassment flickering across his face.

He hadn't controlled his killing intent just now and had accidentally scared Renye.

Such a rookie mistake wouldn't normally happen to Tobirama, but there was no helping it—the target was an Uchiha.

So he couldn't hold back...

Thinking of Renye's terrified, panicked expression, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
