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

Lian Ye irritably smoothed her bangs and couldn't help but complain—this damn world!

Lianye had always considered himself a normal person, but his thoughts just now made him realize that he was gradually being assimilated by the ninja world.

The profession of ninja involves living a life of constant danger and high pressure, which inevitably leads to various psychological problems.

This is precisely the root cause of the large number of problem children in the ninja world...

At first, he only wanted to have the power to protect himself during the First Shinobi World War, so that he wouldn't be cannon fodder and killed.

But as time went by, he unconsciously began to crave even greater power.

Renya had never realized this before, until just now when she unconsciously thought of using Danzo and Koharu's deaths to stimulate herself to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He then realized that he seemed to have strayed from his original intention...

In this world, the weak can only helplessly wait for death, especially in war, where even survival is a luxury for the weak.

When the enemy is too powerful, the weak will only be killed.

This cruel world compels Lianye to unconsciously strive to become stronger.

The way for the Uchiha clan to quickly become stronger is undoubtedly to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

If he possessed the kaleidoscope, he wouldn't need to go to great lengths to develop powerful poisons.

Lianye shook her head vigorously, trying to clear her mind of those thoughts.

Becoming stronger is fine, awakening the Kaleidoscope is fine, but not through such extreme methods...

If all else fails, I won't awaken the Kaleidoscope.

This power isn't absolutely necessary!

At worst, we can develop an even stronger poison, which will also enhance our strength.

If he becomes stronger in such an extreme way, then what's the difference between him and that group of extreme Uchiha?

After figuring it out, Lianye found herself no longer agitated, but instead feeling completely relaxed.

Tobirama Senju, who was walking at the front, noticed the commotion behind him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that Lian Ye did not go to extremes in pursuit of power.

This kid certainly didn't disappoint him...

Chapter 208 Who is more suitable to become Hokage?

"Is that young man Lord Lianye?"

"That's right, the most handsome one in the back is Lord Lianye!"

"Ahhh, Lord Renye is so handsome!"

In Konoha Village, villagers and ninjas, upon learning of the Hokage's return, spontaneously stood on both sides to welcome him.

Most people's attention was focused on Lian Ye; everyone in the village knew about his performance on the battlefield.

Not only did he kill several Kage-level experts from the Hidden Cloud Village, but he also developed an antidote to save countless comrades.

The poisoned ninjas were very grateful to Renya and spontaneously spread the word about his performance on the battlefield.

The fact that people started addressing him as "Gonnin" and then as "Lord" was a direct sign of their approval.

Lianye rightfully became the village's hero!

"Renya, you're really popular..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said sourly.

Everyone worked together on the mission, but in the end, it was Lian Ye who was remembered. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation, right?

"This honor belongs to everyone," Renya explained, having seen through Hiruzen's thoughts.

He never thought of taking all the credit for himself. As for why everyone only remembers him?

Actually, he didn't know either...

Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with schadenfreude.

Hehe, now you know how powerless I am, right?

Whenever he faced Lian Ye, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, but fortunately, he wasn't the only one who felt this way...

After spending so many years together, he had long since gotten used to it.

As long as Renya is competing with him, he has no chance of becoming Hokage.

With Renye's current prestige, becoming Hokage would be a piece of cake!

Prestige and military achievements are the main ways to become Hokage!

And Lianye has both of these.

Danzo's reputation was inferior to Renya's, and his military achievements were also inferior; he was simply not qualified to compete with Renya.

He only had any hope when Lian Ye retired.

Although becoming Hokage is extremely difficult, Danzo will not give up!

His lifelong dream was to become Hokage and bring prosperity to the village.

It's impossible to give up just because of some setbacks.

He's still young, he has plenty of time. If one year isn't enough, then ten; if ten years isn't enough, then twenty!

I believe that one day my wish will come true...

Hopefully, Renya will retire soon after becoming Hokage and not linger on his position.

Otherwise, there really won't be another chance!

At that time, Danzo could not be sure that he would do something extreme in order to become Hokage.

Looking at the villagers' excited expressions, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Unexpectedly, this young man is deeply loved by the villagers!

To become Hokage, one must first gain the approval of others, even if one is weaker.

Tobirama Senju believed that a qualified Hokage was one who was loved by the villagers and could lead the village to prosperity.

Renya has already completed the first step of becoming a qualified Hokage—being loved and respected by the villagers.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

I believe this kid will become Hokage in the future and lead the village to prosperity!

Tobirama Senju looked at Renya with eyes full of satisfaction and admiration.

This kid is truly worthy of being someone I personally raised!

……

"Lord Lotus Ye, Lord Lotus Night!"

The villagers and ninjas cheered even louder as they saw Renya approaching.

If it weren't for the ninjas present spontaneously maintaining order, the villagers would have rushed forward long ago.

"Hello you all!"

Lian Ye looked at the excited crowd and greeted them with a smile.

The situation here is completely different from that in Hidden Cloud Village.

The villagers of Konoha regarded him as a hero, while the people of Kumogakure regarded him as a ruthless demon.

The Second Raikage may seem honest, but he's actually quite cunning.

He allowed the villagers to spread rumors and smear Lianye, making her a synonym for demon in Yunyin Village.

Given time, Yunyin has become stronger.

The fears of the past will turn into the fury of revenge.

By then, Renya will definitely become the Konoha ninja that Kumogakure most wants to kill.

Of course, these are all just his guesses...

However, Lianye felt that this was very likely.

The Uchiha clan members in the crowd had complex expressions when they saw Renya surrounded by everyone.

If this guy hadn't been kicked out of the clan, he would be the pride of the Uchiha clan.

The family's status in the village will definitely rise sharply, or at the very least, it will alleviate the family's current predicament.

Despite being a prominent clan in Konoha, the Uchiha are now largely ignored and no one wants to associate with them...

In particular, what happened was that Madara Uchiha controlled the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha.

The Uchiha clan members are extremely arrogant and disdain to communicate with the weak, nor will they waste their time on them.

Over time, the Uchiha clan fell into a state of alienation.

The villagers of Konoha would avoid the Uchiha clan members, fearing they might accidentally provoke them...

Anyone who messes with the Uchiha will never have a good ending!

This is what everyone is thinking.

……

The Uchiha clan members glanced at Lianye from afar, then turned and left.

They were going to return to their ancestral land to tell the clan chief about this.

Lianye noticed the backs of several figures with round fans leaving the crowd, and then looked away.

……

The group arrived at the Hokage's office.

Tobirama Senju praised the group's performance over the past few days, then waved for them to leave.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest now."

Without hesitation, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others said goodbye to their teacher and left the office.

After such a long time, they can finally rest. All they want now is to go home and get a good night's sleep.

"Hey kid, wait a minute..."

Just as Renya was about to leave with the others, Tobirama Senju called her back.

"What's wrong, Uncle?" Lian Ye asked, puzzled.

Tobirama Senju stared at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Who do you think is more suitable to become Hokage among my disciples?"

Cold sweat beaded on the faces of the ANBU members hidden in the shadows. Why was the Hokage asking such a question again?

Fortunately, this time the question wasn't directed at myself.

"What, Uncle, you want to retire?" Lian Ye pulled up a chair and sat down.

Why does this old guy want to retire at only forty-something years old?

This is the age when you should be working hard and striving for your career. How can you think about retiring and giving up?

No, we have to make him give up this idea.

"Uncle, you've only been Hokage for two years and you already want to retire? Isn't that a bit too fast?"

"I want to give opportunities to younger people."

Tobirama Senju had no intention of retiring now, but he still echoed Renya's words.

“Young people are too young to shoulder heavy responsibilities. I advise you to consider the village and work for a few more years…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo are still young, and it's easy for them to lose their bearings and direction if they become Hokage.

"Uncle, take your time thinking about it. I'm going back to rest now."

Lianye stood up from her chair, preparing to leave the office.

Just then, Tobirama Senju's voice came from behind.
