No Sleepless Nights Since Childhood

Several days later.

"Danzo, you're finally back!"

Renye had waited and waited, and at last, his friend had returned.

He did not understand what kind of mission Danzo had taken that had kept him away for so long.

And more than one person had left!

Shimura Danzō looked at the rosy-cheeked Renye and remained silent.

Ever since they had failed to find any trace of him in the two villages, he had guessed that this guy had probably returned to the village.

Even with that suspicion, they could not possibly return so quickly out of caution.

Now, it seemed they had worried for nothing.

"Renye, where did you run off to?"

Utatane Koharu looked deeply aggrieved.

If he had not suddenly disappeared, Teacher Tobirama would not have sent them out of the village to look for him.

While they had been racking their brains to find him, Renye might have been hiding somewhere and enjoying life.

The others all turned to look at him.

They all wanted to know where Renye had gone during the days he had vanished.

"Ahem, I went out of the village to clear my head."

Facing their resentful little stares, Renye found himself unable to explain.

He could hardly say that Madara Uchiha had abducted him.

He could only take the blame himself.

If anyone was to blame, it was that fake-death duo.

He had been uncomfortable staying in the village these past days anyway.

After all, that old man Tobirama Senju sat in the courtyard all day, reviewing documents.

He could not even focus on sunbathing.

Now that Danzo had returned home, he finally had somewhere new to go.

"As long as you're fine." Hiruzen Sarutobi said. "Let Teacher know. We're going back to rest first."

They had searched for Renye in other villages
