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

"Kid, you haven't answered my question yet."

Lianye stopped in her tracks.

"Uncle, the person I'm recommending is..."

Chapter 209 Do you want to become Hokage?

"Uncle, my recommendation is Danzo."

Renya looked directly into Tobirama Senju's eyes and spoke softly.

Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, he still prefers Danzo Shimura's personality.

Despite his ruthless methods to achieve his goals, it is precisely this character trait that leads the village to prosperity.

You could say Danzo wasn't a good person, but he could have been a good Hokage.

As someone in a position of authority, his actions were not problematic.

Ninjas are inherently a dark profession; how could they possibly do anything honorable?

Renya's opinion of Danzo is based on his current performance, not on his future role as the "King of the Leaf Village"...

Danzo at present truly loves the village and is willing to dedicate everything to it.

As for what happened later, the pot king's original intention completely changed.

Perhaps he wanted to become Hokage too much.

Because his long-held desires were not fulfilled, his behavior became increasingly extreme, leading him to do a series of inexplicable things.

At first, I wanted to protect Konoha, but later I wanted to protect Konoha that belongs to me!

From being willing to dedicate everything to the village to becoming Hokage by any means necessary.

In his relentless pursuit of his dreams, Danzo gradually lost his way and became a pathetic figure manipulated by power.

In order to become Hokage, he spread the news that Sakumo Hatake had failed his mission, hoping to make him lose public support and be unable to run for Hokage, which resulted in Sakumo Hatake's suicide.

In order to become Hokage, he sent members of Root to assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi, hoping that Hiruzen's death would give him a chance to become Hokage. In the end, the assassination failed.

In order to become Hokage, he chose to remain inactive when Pain invaded Konoha, ostensibly to preserve the village's fighting strength, but in reality, he wanted to split Tsunade's faction and prepare for becoming Hokage in the future.

He harmed the village's interests in order to become Hokage.

These things have gone against the original intention.

Danzo Shimura spent his entire life pursuing the position of Hokage. A moment of hesitation in his youth caused him to miss the opportunity to become Hokage, leading him to spend the rest of his life in regret and remorse.

Over the years, Renya has come to accept Danzo as a person after spending time with him.

He didn't want Danzo, who was currently full of passion, to gradually become a future scapegoat in his pursuit of becoming Hokage...

He wanted Tobirama Senju to give Danzo a chance, a chance to prove himself.

If Danzo is truly incapable of serving as Hokage, it's not too late to remove him and replace him.

Anyway, isn't that old bastard Tobirama Senju still alive?

Even if Danzo really can't do it, there's still him to cover for him.

Besides, Danzo isn't an idiot now. Once he becomes Hokage, he'll definitely work diligently, wishing he could stay in the office 24/7.

"Danzo?" Tobirama Senju murmured softly.

During this time, he had been secretly observing the performance of his disciples.

Danzo's performance was quite good. He loved the village and acted decisively. With a little guidance, he could indeed be groomed as a successor to the Hokage.

If it weren't for Renya, Danzo would indeed have been a good candidate to become Hokage.

It's just a pity that this kid is too outstanding.

He's so outstanding that with him around, there's no need for the others to choose.

Tobirama Senju looked up at Renya standing in the doorway and said in a deep voice, "Boy, do you want to become Hokage?"

Lian Ye was completely bewildered by the sudden question, a big question mark appearing on her forehead.

He hesitated for a long time before finally uttering a single word.

"What?"

Why is this old guy asking me such a question? What's wrong with him now?

Is this yet another test for myself?!

Asking who is suitable to be Hokage is just a pretext; the real purpose is to take the opportunity to get information out of him.

If Lian Ye wasn't mistaken, the Anbu were already lying in ambush all around. As long as he dared to say he was willing to become Hokage, countless people would rush in and chop him into mincemeat in an instant.

Hmph, as expected of Tobirama Senju, who was born evil!

I've been cooking for him for so many years, and he's still wary of me.

Putting aside the fact that he never had any interest in becoming Hokage in the first place, it's even more unspeakable now that things are like this.

Seeing Renya's constantly changing expression, Tobirama Senju looked puzzled, wondering what the kid was thinking.

It was just a question, why did you have to look so upset?

Could it be that the wounds sustained on the battlefield have recurred?!

"Boy, are you okay?"

Renya looked at Tobirama Senju's concerned expression and thought to herself, "That old guy's acting is really good."

He's fine now, but if he says he wants to become Hokage, he'll be in trouble very soon...

"Uncle, I'm fine." Lian Ye shook her head and continued, "Also, I'm not interested in Naruto."

He always felt that becoming Hokage was useless; true strength lay in one's own abilities.

Tsunade is right, only an idiot would become Hokage.

In Lianye's view, becoming Hokage not only means dealing with documents every day, but also having to worry about all the big and small affairs of the village.

Tobirama Senju is a good example. Sometimes he was so busy that he practically slept in the office and didn't even have time to eat.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Lian Ye didn't want to live that kind of life...

Only someone like Danzo Shimura would work tirelessly for his dream.

Tobirama Senju hadn't expected Renya to refuse so decisively.

You should know that the vast majority of children at ninja academies dream of becoming Hokage.

I thought Lianye was the same way, but it seems that's not the case.

"Isn't your dream to become Hokage?"

Lian Ye rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Uncle, who told you I wanted to be Hokage?"

"What's the point? Do you want to sit in the office every day dealing with endless files like me, or do you want to see me working so hard that I don't even have time to eat?"

He already developed psychological problems from being a ninja, and if he were to become Hokage, he would definitely be driven insane!

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "..."

What this kid said makes so much sense; I was speechless.

Renya spoke of facts she had witnessed firsthand, which were a true reflection of Tobirama Senju's life during this period.

"Whoever wants the Hokage position can have it; I certainly don't want it."

I can never become Hokage, not in this lifetime.

"Alright, uncle, I'm not talking to you anymore." He looked at the pile of documents on the table. "Finish processing these documents first."

With that, he turned and left the office.

Tobirama Senju glanced at Renya's departing figure, then at his desk piled high with documents.

That kid's right, it seems we need to put retirement plans on the agenda.

Prior to this, the focus should have been on Hiruzen and Danzo; Renya had no hope.

Judging from his behavior just now, he is very reluctant to become Hokage, and his reasons are so compelling that he even wants to retire early.

"Who do you think is more suitable to be Hokage, Hiruzen or Danzo?" Tobirama Senju asked, looking into the shadows.

Anbu: "..."

Oh no, this time it's really coming for me!

……

……

P.S.: How about this title? "Naruto: The Uchiha Cook of the Senju Tobirama Clan!" (The title has been changed; it will remain the original title for readers who have already read it. Only those seeing it for the first time will see the changed title.) *sobs*... Please help me think of some better titles, everyone!

Chapter 210 Sorry, Uncle

"Aunt Mito, what are you doing here?"

At Tobirama Senju's residence, Renya had just returned when she found Mito Uzumaki cleaning the yard.

"Knowing you were coming back, I cleaned your room for you."

Renya and Tobirama Senju have been away from the village for so long that the house has been vacant and covered in dust.

When she had nothing to do, she would bring Tsunade over to clean, wanting the two of them to have a clean living environment as soon as they returned.

After all, Renya and Tobirama are not like Hashirama, who have a virtuous wife who can take care of the household even when they are fighting on the battlefield for a long time.

It seems it's time to find them a marriage partner, especially since Tobirama is getting on in years. If he doesn't get married soon, who will take care of him?

We can't expect Renya to take care of the elderly Tobirama, can we?

As the eldest sister-in-law, she had to worry about Tobirama's happiness for the rest of his life.

"Thank you for troubling you, Aunt Mito." Renya scratched her head sheepishly.

He hadn't expected Mito Uzumaki to come and clean for them herself; it looked like she was almost done.

Renya used to do these things, but now that Mito has done them all, he doesn't know what to do next.

Mito Uzumaki smiled and said, "Please sit down and rest. I'll finish cleaning right away."

"Yes, thank you, Aunt Mito." Renya was just about to sit down on the stone bench in the yard.

Just then, a childish voice was heard.

"Uncle Lianye, you're finally back!"

When Tsunade saw Renya return from the corner, she quickly put down her broom, excitedly ran over, and hugged his leg.

It's been over a year since I last saw her, and Tsunade has grown taller.

"Little Tsunade, did you miss me?" Renye smiled and ruffled her blond hair, then casually wiped the dust off her face.

"Yes!" Tsunade raised her head, her eyes shining, and answered loudly.

Since Uncle Lianye left the village, she had never eaten such delicious food again.

Several times I've dreamt of a table full of delicious food, only to open my eyes and find it empty. That feeling is incredibly unpleasant.

At times like this, she would think—if only Uncle Lianye were home.

That way I can go over and freeload a meal...

In order to eat delicious food, the little girl even asked her grandmother to send her to the battlefield to find Lianye, but her grandmother refused outright.

She could only visit her second grandfather's house from time to time, hoping to run into Uncle Lianye who was returning home.

We waited and waited, and finally Uncle Lianye came back.

Tsunade couldn't help but smile happily; she could finally eat the food she had been longing for.
