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

A hint of curiosity flashed in Lian Ye's eyes at just the right moment, and she asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true," Nara Honya said with absolute certainty.

"Haha, heaven has eyes!" Lian Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud. "This kid deserved it!"

Nara Honke silently observed Renya's reaction.

Seeing his surprised yet somewhat gloating expression, I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Could it be that this was not done by Renye-kun?

But yesterday, Uchiha Reifu had just provoked Renya in the morning, and at noon he was beaten up with a sack over his head.

The timing is too coincidental; it's hard not to suspect him.

Upon seeing this, Lian Ye raised an eyebrow and exclaimed in shock:

"You don't actually think I did it, do you?"

Nara didn't say a word; his expression seemed to say, "What else?"

"That guy messed with so many people, it's not surprising he got sacked..."

As Renya spoke, she glanced casually at Hinata Yuuki, who was not far away.

Nara Honya followed Renya's gaze and fell into thought.

Uchiha Retsu was indeed arrogant and domineering, and he offended more than just Renya.

Thinking about it this way, it's also possible that Hinata Hiroki did it out of revenge...

As Hyuga Yuuki sat in his seat, he felt like someone was cricketing behind him, and he shifted uncomfortably.

He had no idea that he had been targeted by someone and was about to become the scapegoat.

“I think Uchiha Kagami is also a possibility,” Renya said in a low voice.

"Uchiha Kagami?" Nara looked at Kagami, who was chatting happily with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, with a puzzled expression.

Uchiha Kagami noticed Nara Honya's gaze, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he nodded to him in a friendly manner.

"Renya-kun, you're not kidding, are you?" Nara Honya looked incredulous.

Uchiha Kagami has such a gentle personality, how could he possibly do such a thing?

Lian Ye seemed to see through his thoughts and explained, "You have to understand that honest people are actually the most terrifying... It's fine to bully them normally, but if you push them too far one day, they might do something really horrible."

"I see, I've learned something." Nara nodded seriously, feeling that what Renya said made a lot of sense.

He knew that Uchiha Retsu and others were intentionally ostracizing Uchiha Kagami, and it was reasonable for Kagami to beat Retsu when he was pushed to the limit.

"Uchiha Retsu has offended so many people, it's normal for him to get beaten up. Stop suspecting me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would do something like this behind someone's back?"

"It really doesn't look like it."

"That's it, isn't it?"

"But I still think that you, Lianye-kun, are more suspicious in this matter..."

Lian Ye: "..."

Alright, alright, what else is there to say?

After analyzing things logically and with evidence for a long time, I still doubted myself.

“Prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain.” Lian Ye looked very hurt.

Nara was also somewhat confused. Could it really not be Renya-kun who did it?

Did I misunderstand him?

Thinking of this, Nara Honya said, "Renya-kun, I believe in you!"

"Haha, that's more like it. I'm not that kind of person."

With her superb acting skills, Renya finally managed to fool Naramoto as well.

If he kept talking, he almost started to believe it himself.

Just as Renya finished dealing with Nara Honya, their homeroom teacher, Senju Takuma, walked into the classroom. "Everyone, assemble on the playground!"

On the playground.

The group chattered amongst themselves, wondering what the homeroom teacher was planning to do.

"The morning's lessons are simple: endurance training, strength training, and balance training!"

Takuma Senju announced the training content.

"Is it time for training? How annoying..." Nara Honya complained under his breath.

Lian Ye didn't have any thoughts on this. He was already used to high-intensity training, and he even felt uncomfortable if he didn't train for a day.

After all, there are no shortcuts to improving one's strength; only through diligent training can one continuously grow stronger.

"Let's run a hundred laps to warm up!"

As the whistle blew, the students in Class A began running along the track.

One hundred laps is still acceptable for students in Class A.

Most of them were ninjas from their clans, and they started training their bodies from a young age.

Although he is only six or seven years old, he has been cultivating for at least one or two years.

At the founding of Konoha, the strength of its ninjas far surpassed that of later generations.

Previously, it was the perilous Warring States period, where a slight misstep could lead to death, and those with weak strength were even more likely to perish. In order to protect themselves, they could only continuously improve their strength.

After running a hundred laps, everyone was a little out of breath.

Takuma Senju didn't give them a break and continued with strength training.

Specialized training equipment was set up on the field, and the trainees worked in pairs to complete exercises such as weighted squats and push-ups.

After finishing their strength training, everyone was so tired that they lay on the ground.

"I can't go on, Renya-kun, I'm exhausted." Nara Honya lay on the ground, panting heavily, his face pale.

Lian Ye's complexion was also not good, and her lips were pale.

Even he found it hard to handle such intense training.

They originally thought the training at the Ninja Academy would be easier, but they were wrong; the training here was even more rigorous!

"Ten-minute rest, then we'll move on to balance training."

As soon as the words were spoken, cries of sorrow arose from all sides.

Noticing the students' resentful looks, Takuma Senju felt helpless.

He also felt that the training was too harsh, but it was the training plan set by Tobirama-sama, so he had no choice but to follow it.

In Tobirama Senju's words, "Class A consists of promising young talents; they absolutely must be pushed to their limits."

There have been many geniuses in the history of the ninja world, but few of them have made a name for themselves in the end.

That's because only those who grow up become geniuses!

Those that failed halfway through don't count...

Takuma Senju knew that Tobirama-sama meant he wanted them to grow up as quickly as possible and become true geniuses!

This is also why the training program is so rigorous.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that these children are talented.

Even without talent, you won't be placed in Class A.

It can be said that if these children grow up, they will definitely become the backbone of the village.

The break is over.

Next, we will conduct a series of challenging stretching and balance training exercises.

Trainees need to walk quickly on a narrow balance beam while making various gestures, and they will fall if they are not careful.

If you fall once, run ten laps; if you fall twice, run twenty laps, and so on.

Lianye controlled her breathing and focused intently on controlling her body, successfully passing through the Peace Wood.

Nara wasn't so lucky; he slipped and fell to the ground, earning ten laps.

He was already exhausted, and now he had to run ten more laps, which made things even worse. He was so tired that he felt like he was falling apart.

As expected, he lost his footing again and landed heavily on the ground once more, this time earning a total of twenty laps.

Nara looked at the long track and felt a wave of dizziness wash over him; he was on the verge of collapse.

Of course, there are quite a few unlucky guys like him.

Lian Ye looked around and roughly estimated that only ten people had crossed the balance beam so far.

He knew four people: Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Kagami Uchiha, and Hiroki Hyuga. He didn't know the others.

"Danzo, do your best!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted at the top of his lungs.

Danzo Shimura was completely focused, his eyes fixed on the balance beam beneath his feet, his forehead covered in sweat; he was almost there.

As a result, Hiruzen Sarutobi's sudden shout startled him, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"Hiruzen, you bastard!"

Danzo Shimura was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged as he roared.

"Haha, sorry Danzo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi scratched his head, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.

Lian Ye's lips twitched slightly. Why did it feel like this guy was doing it on purpose?

Chapter Twenty: The Dispute Caused by the Lion's Head

Noon, meal time.

Lianye brought her own lunchbox in advance and didn't go home for dinner.

There are quite a few people like him...

Training is already so tough, how can I possibly be in the mood to go home for dinner?

"Lotus Night Lord, what is this?"

Nara was also captivated by the rosy, plump, and bright red braised lion's head meatballs in Renya's bento box.

The lion's head meatballs are coated with a tempting sauce, making them look incredibly appetizing.

Nara Honya's throat moved involuntarily as he stared longingly at the lion's head.

Seeing this, Lian Ye knew exactly what this guy was thinking.

"Here, have one."

"Really? Thank you, Renya-kun!" Nara Honya was overjoyed. He took the lion's head meatball that Renya handed him and ate it with the rice ball.

The soft and chewy lion's head meatballs, the fragrant sauce, and the ordinary rice balls collided on the tip of the tongue. Nara Honya's cheeks puffed out, and he squinted his eyes in satisfaction, saying indistinctly, "It's so delicious, I love it!"

Clearly, he's a foodie.

He doesn't have any other hobbies besides enjoying delicious food and sleeping.

Lian Ye smiled slightly, "I'm glad you like it."

He was still very happy that someone genuinely praised his cooking skills.

The commotion attracted the attention of those nearby.

Their eyes all fell on the braised lion's head.

Looking at the tempting lion's head meatballs and then at the ordinary bento box in my hand, I suddenly felt utterly bored.

"Danzo, I want to eat!" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his friend.

They were closest to Lianye and could clearly smell the fragrance emanating from the lion's head.

"Hiruzen, you're such a coward!" Shimura Danzo scolded irritably, but his bobbing Adam's apple betrayed him.
