Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Looking at the two steaming dishes on the table, he felt very gratified.

This kid knows how to be grateful; no wonder my older brother liked him so much back then.

Thinking of his elder brother, a fleeting sadness appeared on Tobirama's face.

If my older brother were still alive, he would definitely want to eat Lianye's cooking, right?

After all, he had often pestered Lian Ye to cook at his home.

……

Seeing Renya pull out a chair and sit down, Tobirama Senju finally snapped out of his daze and pretended nothing had happened.

My eyes fell on the tempting-looking ribs, and I couldn't help but swallow.

I've been eating so many military rations these past few months that I'm almost sick of them. Where have I ever seen such a delicacy?

He quickly picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in his mouth. The thick sauce burst in his mouth with one bite.

The tender meat has a unique texture.

The bone falls off easily with a gentle touch; the cartilage is stewed until it resembles jelly.

When you chew it, it will release meat juices with the aroma of cinnamon and bay leaves.

Senju Tobirama savored the aroma between his lips and teeth, and couldn't resist picking up two mouthfuls of rice with his chopsticks.

This tastes best when eaten with rice!

Lianye did the same, taking a bite of pork rib and a bite of rice.

Both of them ate like starving ghosts, with absolutely no manners.

Of course, in truth, Tobirama Senju was more elegant.

It's just not much better.

One was eating barely edible food on the battlefield, while the other was eating soldier's rations in the office.

If you only get to eat good food after three months, how good can you expect your table manners?

It's good enough that they didn't use their hands to pick up the vegetables.

"Uncle, this soup is incredibly delicious, it's even better with rice!"

As he spoke, he poured milky white fish soup into his bowl of rice.

Senju Tobirama then realized that he was chewing like a starving ghost and quickly slowed down.

Seeing Lian Ye wolfing down her food, he couldn't help but smile.

This kid is really starving.

P.S.: I will update three chapters daily from now on until I finish this chapter. There are currently eight chapters left.

Chapter 136 Let's Go Home Together

Where have the two of them eaten anything good in the past few months?

In no time, they had finished all the food on the table.

After the meal, Lianye consciously began to clear the table of dishes and put them into the food box.

Tobirama Senju placed the documents back on the table and began to carefully review them.

After the war began, he not only had to review village affairs, but also the intelligence sent back from the battlefield.

We need to formulate combat strategies based on intelligence and dispatch support to the front lines.

They were extremely busy and overwhelmed.

They lived in the office 24 hours a day, afraid of missing intelligence on the battlefield and thus delaying the battle.

Not only do they not have time to sleep, but they also eat only soldier's rations for all three meals.

This went on for three months straight, and Tobirama Senju was able to endure it.

Their willpower and endurance are evident.

If Renya knew that Tobirama Senju had been working non-stop for three months, she would probably be even more averse to becoming Hokage.

This isn't Naruto at all!

They're absolutely horse and bull!

With this level of work intensity, living to fifty would be considered a long life.

"Uncle, I'm going back now after I'm done packing." Lian Ye said goodbye, picked up the food box, and prepared to leave.

After finishing our meal, we naturally had to go back.

Staying in the office is useless and may even interfere with Tobirama Senju's handling of government affairs.

What if this old guy asks me to help him with government affairs?

Looking at the pile of documents on the table, Lianye felt that this possibility was not out of the question.

It's best to slip away first.

Without waiting for Tobirama Senju's response, he picked up the food box, turned around, and left the Hokage's office.

As Tobirama Senju lowered his head to work on the documents, he watched Renya's figure quickly leave, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Why is this kid running so fast for no reason?

Thinking about it, he called out to Lian Ye.

"Hey kid, wait a minute..."

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye, who had just arrived at the door, froze in her tracks.

Is this old guy really going to make me handle the documents?!

If that's the case, he wouldn't mind showing Tobirama Senju what he's made of...

Five points in the academic subjects are incredibly valuable!

At that time, Konoha Village will be doomed!

Lian Ye thought this to herself, but her face remained calm.

"Uncle, is there anything else?"

Before Tobirama Senju could speak, he added another sentence.

"By the way, what were my scores on the academic subjects test back then?"

The implication was that he wanted to remind the other person that his academic performance was very poor.

Don't expect him to help you with the documents.

A hint of confusion flashed in Tobirama Senju's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Clearly, he understood what Lian Ye meant.

It's both funny and exasperating; this kid is really overthinking things.

How could the Hokage possibly let someone else handle the documents?

Besides, even if someone wanted to ask for help, they wouldn't go to Lianye!

This kid only scored five points on his academic test.

If we really let him handle the documents, what kind of chaos would the village be in the next day?

……

Senju Tobirama realized that Renya had misunderstood, and sighed helplessly, "I didn't mean for you to handle the documents."

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Since I wasn't asked to handle government affairs, everything is fine.

He looked at Tobirama Senju, a puzzled expression on his face: "Then why did you stop me?"

In the past, when he left after delivering food, this old man never called him back.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Especially since this person is Tobirama Senju, who is inherently evil.

This old bastard can't just beat up the cook after he's had his fill, can he?

Just as Renya was lost in thought, Tobirama Senju placed the documents on the table and stood up from his chair.

Renya was puzzled by Tobirama's actions.

What exactly is this old bastard trying to do?

However, this was the first time in a long time that he had seen the other person leave their seat.

Tobirama Senju walked up to Renya and said to her, who was still in a daze, "Let's go home together."

Upon hearing this, Renya glanced at Tobirama Senju, then at the pile of documents on his desk.

Is this old guy serious?!

He asked with a strange expression, "Aren't you going to deal with the documents on the table?"

“The pressure on the front lines has eased up a bit recently, so I can relax a little.” Tobirama Senju glanced at the documents on the table. “I’ll deal with these documents tomorrow.”

As he spoke, he turned off the office lights.

Seeing Tobirama Senju leave, Renya quickly followed.

He wondered to himself if the old man was skipping work.

The fact that Tobirama Senju was forced to skip work speaks volumes about the intensity of his workload.

Lianye turned her head and glanced at the Hokage Building behind her, curling her lip in disdain.

Having witnessed firsthand the daily lives of the Senju brothers, Hashirama and Tobirama, after they became Hokage, I finally came to a conclusion—

I wouldn't even be a dog of the Hokage!

In his view, being Hokage was all bad and had no advantages whatsoever.

Every day is a miserable experience sitting at my desk, dealing with countless documents.

These kinds of days seem endless.

Isn't this just the daily work routine of cattle and horses?

Thinking of this, Lian Ye lost even more interest in the Hokage position.

He didn't understand Danzo's desire to become Hokage, but he respected it.

……

The two will pass through Konoha's commercial street on their way home.

The village is lively at night, with various vendors hawking their wares on both sides.

"Takoyaki, piping hot takoyaki!"

The meatballs on the hot plate, coated with seaweed flakes, sizzled and released an irresistible aroma.

"Three-color dumplings, freshly made three-color dumplings!"

The meatball shop owner held two skewers of meatballs and shouted loudly to the crowd.

Lian Ye only glanced at it; having just finished eating, she had no interest in the food.

Tobirama Senju believed that he would not eat anything that Renya hadn't made.

After tasting Lianye's cooking, she couldn't eat anyone else's food.

So for the past few months, he'd rather eat soldier's rations...

Clearly, Lianye had spoiled his palate over the years.

However, Lianye herself was unaware of this matter.

……

The two quickly crossed the shopping street.
