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

Lian Ye simply watched silently, without making a sound to disturb her.

Just then, Mito Uzumaki suddenly asked Renya a question.

"Renya, is Hashirama really dead?"

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye's hair stood on end, and a fleeting look of panic and tension flashed in her eyes.

What did Aunt Mito mean by that?!

Did she already know about Hashirama's faked death?

No, this is definitely a prank...

With so much time having passed, it's impossible for the matter to be discovered.

If we really have to pinpoint the most likely time for exposure, it would be the night he faked his death.

As long as Mito doesn't notice anything unusual that night, the matter won't be exposed!

Just as Renya was about to explain, Mito Uzumaki's next words stunned him.

"That night, I stayed up all night beside Hashirama's body..."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Hashirama really doesn't lie."

"Aunt Mito, what are you talking about?" Renya feigned confusion.

He sensed that Mito had noticed something amiss, and was therefore saying these things to trick him.

"Before I left the room, I sensed that Hashirama still had a faint pulse. I realized something was wrong then, so I left the room for a while."

Mito Uzumaki looked at Renya with a smile and said softly:

"When I returned to the room, Hashirama's pulse had disappeared."

"Aunt Mito, you might be mistaken," Renya explained softly.

They would never admit it unless there was substantial evidence.

Faced with Renya's explanation, Mito Uzumaki remained noncommittal.

"Renya, do you know how long it takes for Hashirama's wood clones to turn into wood after they lose their chakra supply?"

She held up three fingers. "Three months. Hashirama's wood clones can only last for a maximum of three months."

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye's pupils suddenly contracted, and an absurd idea popped into her mind.

Aunt Mito can't dig up a grave, can she?!

If it were true, the news of Hashirama faking his death would definitely have been discovered.

“Life cannot be brought back to life…” Lianye subconsciously swallowed and comforted her, “Aunt Mito, calm down.”

Mito Uzumaki nodded in agreement, her expression calm: "I know the dead cannot be brought back to life... but what if the person is still alive?"

Renya's face turned grim, and she said in a deep voice, "Aunt Mito, are you really going to dig up Uncle Hashirama's grave?"

“That’s right, I know that Hashirama is not dead. Since you are unwilling to say, I will investigate the truth myself.”

"Alright, go ahead and dig." Lian Ye didn't stop her anymore.

He was gambling, gambling that this was just a bluff.

As long as Mito doesn't dig up the grave, the truth will remain hidden!

"Renya, you don't really think I have no evidence, do you?" Mito Uzumaki chuckled, her chakra surging.

Judging from their posture, they clearly intended to destroy the grave.

Seeing this, Lianye sighed helplessly, knowing that the truth could no longer be hidden.

"Aunt Mito, when did you find out the truth?"

A triumphant smile appeared on Mito's face as she softly said:

"Lianye, I didn't notice."

Lianye: "???"

Got fooled.

He is still too young.

Sure enough, experience is the best teacher.

Seeing Renya's expression, Mito Uzumaki smiled and explained:

"Actually, it's not that I didn't notice it. Back then, Kurama told me that Hashirama wasn't dead..."

"Nine-tailed?!" Lian Ye's eyes widened in shock.

No wonder this matter was exposed; it turns out it was all because of that damned Nine-Tails' interference!

Tailed beasts can sense the chakra and emotions of those around them.

Kurama sensed Hashirama's emotions at that moment!

How could a dead person have emotions?!

Kurama immediately guessed that Hashirama Senju was trying to fake his death to escape...

In order to take revenge on Hashirama Senju, it told Mito Uzumaki about its discovery.

At the time, Mito didn't believe Kurama's explanation.

They assumed it was the Nine-Tails causing trouble and ignored it.

As time went on, she began to notice something was wrong.

With Kurama's explanation, they gradually came to believe that Hashirama was not dead.

These past few days, Mizuto has been coming here, hesitating about whether or not to dig up the grave.

As it happened, they ran into Lian Ye who was on her way...

As it turns out, Kurama hadn't lied to her; Hashirama really wasn't dead!

Hearing this explanation, Lianye didn't know what to say.

He and Hashirama had planned everything meticulously, but they never expected the Nine-Tails to cause trouble.

Now things are out.

Lianye was so angry she wanted to kill the Nine-Tails.

……

In the sealed space.

Seeing Lianye's unpleasant expression, the Nine-Tailed Fox swayed its nine tails happily, clearly in a good mood.

"Haha, you wretched Uchiha brats, I saw through your scheme long ago!"

As its deep laughter rang out, it revealed an undisguised smugness.

Because of Madara Uchiha, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) began to hate every Uchiha!

If it weren't for Madara Uchiha, it wouldn't have been sealed here.

Of course, Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki weren't exactly good people either!

Especially that bastard Hashirama Senju!

He said that its power was too great, and then easily grabbed it.

It was precisely because it was dissatisfied with Hashirama Senju's actions that it revealed the truth to Mito Uzumaki.

The purpose was simply to prevent Hashirama Senju and the Uchiha brat's plan from proceeding smoothly.

It didn't even know the specifics of their plan, nor did it know the reason why Hashirama Senju faked his death.

Simply causing trouble, nothing more.

……

Chapter 141 Konoha's Deadly Poison Master

"Renya, can you explain why Hashirama faked his death?" Mito Uzumaki asked expectantly.

Even now, she still doesn't understand why Hashirama faked his death and left.

What could possibly have caused him to make this decision?

If it weren't for the Nine-Tailed Fox's reminder, she probably would never have known the truth in her life.

Lianye was silent for a moment before explaining, "When Uncle Hashirama was seriously ill, I didn't want him to die like that, so I lied to him and said that Madara Uchiha hadn't died..."

He recounted what happened that night, a story that was partly true and partly false.

Upon hearing this, Mito Uzumaki looked incredulous.

"You mean... you not only lied to us, but you also lied to Hashirama?!"

"Well, you could say that," Lian Ye said awkwardly, scratching her head.

Although the claim that Madara Uchiha faked his death is unverifiable, it's best not to say anything.

Some things, if talked about too much, can easily cause problems.

"I just didn't want to see Uncle Hashirama leave like this, so I lied." Renya spread her hands. "And that's how things turned out."

Who in their right mind would think of faking death to escape?

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be the reincarnation of the chakra of Indra and Ashura.

The two brothers did very similar things...

Mito Uzumaki remained silent, seemingly processing her words.

After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Do you know Hashirama's exact location?"

"I don't know." Lianye shook her head. "I haven't seen Uncle Hashirama since that night."

This is not a lie.

He originally wanted to contact him using a summoning beast, but before he could even speak, Hashirama Senju had vanished.

The pillars are currently out of contact.

No one knows where he died.

If they can't even use the Impure World Reincarnation technique, that will be interesting.

However, given Tobirama Senju's nature, he probably already collected Hashirama's cells.

Edo Tensei can still summon them...

Mito Uzumaki felt a great sense of relief upon learning that Hashirama was not dead.

As long as Hashirama is alive, he will return sooner or later.

She can just wait at home for Hashirama to come back.

Mito Uzumaki's gloomy mood instantly dissipated, and a smile bloomed on her face.

She didn't blame Lianye for hiding the truth; knowing that her husband was still alive was enough for her.

Once Hashirama can't find Madara Uchiha, he will return to the village.

All she had to do was wait quietly for her husband to return.

……

"Let's go, Lianye."

Mito Uzumaki smiled and said softly.

As she spoke, she turned to leave, only to find Lian Ye still standing there.

She asked in confusion, "Lianye, what's wrong?"

"Aunt Mito, please don't tell Uncle about this!" Renya said nervously.

This is something that must never be known to that old bastard Tobirama Senju.

Otherwise, they would have sent people to the ninja world the next day to search for their elder brother's whereabouts.
