Chapter 602: Chapter 602: He Is Called Tonton
Late at night, the Konoha ninja encampment.
"Renya, is it really okay for us to sneak in like this?"
Shimura Danzō sat by the campfire, looking worriedly at his good friend who was grilling fish across from him.
Originally, he only intended to be an observer, but sneaking into the Allied Shinobi Forces meant participating in the war.
They couldn’t just run away when the fighting started, right?
If he had known this earlier, he shouldn’t have followed his good friend in.
"It’s fine. Even if we encounter danger, we can still run then." Renya handed the grilled fish to Danzō.
"Eat while it’s hot. I’ll grill more if it’s not enough."
Shimura Danzō accepted the fish and began eating.
Forget it, they were already here.
Who told him to follow Renya in back then?
Even if danger really appeared, with Renya’s strength he would definitely be able to protect him.
Besides, his own strength wasn’t weak either. As long as he didn’t run into someone like Uchiha Madara, self-preservation shouldn’t be a problem.
"What smells so good?"
Many ninjas in the camp had not yet gone to sleep. They all caught a strange fragrance.
Almost simultaneously, they looked toward the grilled fish in Renya and Danzō’s hands and subconsciously swallowed.
What was going on?
Wasn’t it just grilled fish?
How could it smell this good?!
"If there’s something good, how can it not be shared?"
Following the scent, Tsunade found Renya grilling fish.
"Hokage-sama."
The surrounding Konoha ninjas respectfully greeted her upon seeing Tsunade arrive.
Tsunade merely nodded, her gaze never leaving the grilled fish.
Renya: "..."
This glutton girl ran over just from the smell.
"Grill one for me."
Tsunade casually sat across from Renya and spoke familiarly.
She had been about to sleep, but after smelling the aroma, all drowsiness vanished.
If she didn’t eat a delicious grilled fish tonight, she probably wouldn’t sleep at all.
"Alright." Renya naturally didn’t refuse and began grilling a fish for Tsunade.
"You two look unfamiliar."
Having nothing to do, Tsunade began examining the two of them, only to realize she had never seen them before.
"There are so many people in the village. It’s normal that Hokage-sama doesn’t remember us," Shimura Danzō said calmly.
"Haha, that’s true."
Tsunade didn’t dwell on it. Her eyes stayed fixed on the grilled fish in Renya’s hands; if not for her status, she would already be drooling.
With skills like this, it would be a waste not to become a chef.
Wait... a chef?
Right — she could have Renya follow her and work as the cook!
She knew all of Konoha’s jōnin, yet she had no impression of Renya at all.
That could only mean his strength was average. Assigning him to the cooking unit would be perfect.
Compared to the dangerous battlefield, the logistics department was clearly safer.
Surely he wouldn’t refuse!
Soon the grilled fish was ready. While eating the delicious fish, Tsunade asked for their names.
"Hokage-sama, my name is Renya. His name is... Tonton."
Facing Tsunade’s question, Renya had long prepared his explanation.
Shimura Danzō: "???"
What the hell?
I’m already over thirty, and my name is Tonton?!
(T/N: The name literally means "round round" or "chubby")
You bastard, you definitely did that on purpose!
If Tsunade weren’t here, he would absolutely teach his good friend a lesson!
He never expected a man to have such a name...
Fortunately, she didn’t dwell on it and directly stated her purpose.
"Renya, Tonton, would you like to join the logistics department?"
Renya: "???"
The logistics department?
I, a top-tier powerhouse who can punch Uchiha Madara [elderly], kick Senju Hashirama [crippled], slap Senju Tobirama [young]several times, and slaughter countless Kage-level experts—
And you want me to go to logistics?!
Put nicely, it’s logistics. Put bluntly, it’s the cooking squad.
Even more directly — becoming a cook for the Allied Shinobi Forces!
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
Just as Renya was about to refuse, Shimura Danzō agreed without hesitation.
"Hokage-sama, we’re willing!"
In the logistics department, they wouldn’t need to fight, which perfectly matched their original intention for coming to this time and space.
Most importantly, it was revenge for the name Renya gave him.
"Very good. From today onward, you are members of the logistics department!" Tsunade said with a serious expression.
Renya: "???"
Wait, I didn’t even say anything — how did you two already decide?!
"Alright, report to the logistics office tomorrow."
After eating her fill, Tsunade stood up and left.
Renya was left alone by the campfire in complete confusion.
Seeing his good friend’s incredulous expression, Shimura Danzō’s grin almost reached his ears.
"Hmph. Boring."
Uchiha Madara sat on a distant tree branch, having witnessed everything that just happened.
However, his gaze occasionally fell on the grilled fish in Renya’s hands.
Edo Tensei bodies could not eat, nor did they possess pain or taste.
He could only watch them enjoy the food.
Once he successfully revived in the future, he would definitely make that kid cook a feast!
...
The next day, Renya and Danzō truly entered the logistics department.
Fortunately, they usually had nothing to do...
They only needed to prepare a meal at mealtime and deliver it to Tsunade.
Looking at the food inside the lunch box, Tsunade revealed a happy smile.
She never expected to eat such delicious food in her lifetime.
After the war ended, she must hire Renya with a high salary to cook for her!
What she didn’t know was that someone had already done exactly that.
And the payment offered by that person could only be described as astronomical — wealthy enough to rival an entire village.
Since receiving sponsorship from the mysterious boss, Renya had never worried about money again.
To him, money was merely a string of cold numbers.
With money generating more money, he owned industries throughout the entire Konoha Village.
Spending money in the village was essentially transferring funds from his left pocket to his right pocket.
The gathering location of the Allied Shinobi Forces was set in the Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.
After several days of long travel, the Konoha forces successfully arrived at Kumogakure.
The Allied Shinobi Forces consisted of ninjas from the Five Great Nations and samurai from the Land of Iron. After assembling at Kumogakure, they completed the organization into nine divisions before departing for various battlefields.
Their main objective was to protect the Eight-Tails jinchūriki Killer B and the Nine-Tails jinchūriki Uzumaki Naruto.
After all, the "Eye of the Moon" Plan could not be realized without the tailed beasts!
As members of the logistics department, Renya and Danzō did not head to the battlefield, instead remaining by Tsunade’s side to cook.
Standing at a high vantage point, Uchiha Madara looked down at the so-called Allied Shinobi Forces and let out a disdainful snort.
"A mob of rabble. Nothing more."
Without Hashirama and Renya, an alliance of this level could never stop the version of himself in this time and space.
It seemed the long-awaited "Eye of the Moon" Plan was finally about to be fully realized.
As long as Renya witnessed the moment the plan succeeded, that kid surely wouldn’t try to stop him anymore.
Hearing this, Tsunade glanced at Danzō with a strange expression.
