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

If it weren't for the fact that the other person was in poor physical condition, I would have kicked him away long ago.

Given Hashirama's current condition, a kick would definitely worsen his injuries, potentially putting his life in danger.

If this guy starts clinging to me, that'll be troublesome.

All he wants now is to get away from this troublesome guy...

"Madara, you've changed." Hashirama Senju looked aggrieved. "I've been looking for you for so long, but all you want to do is drive me away."

For the past two years, I've searched the entire ninja world, hoping to find my dearest friend.

After finally finding them, the exciting scene of their reunion that I had imagined did not appear. Instead, this scene unfolded.

—Ban didn't even want to talk to me; all he wanted was to get away from me.

This behavior deeply saddened Hashirama...

Madara Uchiha's eyelids twitched wildly; he wished he could kick Hashirama Senju unconscious so he could take the opportunity to leave.

However, fearing that Hashirama's body couldn't withstand it, he ultimately abandoned the idea.

Ban turned his head and said impatiently, "What's there for us to talk about?"

Since he left Konoha, their relationship has never been the same as before.

"Hehe, we have so much to talk about." Hashirama Senju, no longer weak, grabbed Madara's hand and got up from the ground.

As long as Ban can calm down and communicate, then he can properly comfort Ban, and might even be able to persuade him to return to the village...

"What do you want to talk about?" Madara Uchiha stared at him coldly, his three black tomoe slowly rotating.

I just want Hashirama to finish speaking, and then I'll send him away.

He's busy pursuing his dreams, so where would he find the time to chat idly with his old friends?

"Madara, I've finally seen you!" Hashirama gripped Madara's wrist, tears welling in his eyes. "I really thought you were dead..."

Madara Uchiha tried to pull his hand away in disgust, but found that Hashirama was holding it very tightly, and he couldn't pull it away even after several attempts.

"Then how do you know I'm not dead?"

Madara keenly noticed the details revealed in Hashirama's words and narrowed his eyes to ask.

It should be known that he had been planning to use Izanagi to fake his death for a long time, and with Hashirama's intelligence, he shouldn't have discovered it.

There must have been some unexpected event that led Hashirama to learn the truth.

Could it be that guy, Tobirama Senju?!

Madara Uchiha believed it was Tobirama's doing; that Tobirama must have had malicious intentions towards the clones he left behind, which led him to discover the problem with the corpses...

This guy is always going against me; if I could, I really want to kill Tobirama Senju.

"Haha, Renya told me about this," Hashirama chuckled.

He sold Renya out without hesitation in front of Madara.

"Little... Renya?" Madara Uchiha looked puzzled; he had never heard of this name before.

"I'll let you in on a secret, Renya is Tobirama's adopted son, you know?" Hashirama whispered mysteriously into Madara's ear.

"Tobirama's adopted son?" Madara was somewhat surprised, not expecting Tobirama to adopt a child.

Not only that, the adopted child actually knew about his faked death.

This piqued his interest in the child.

"Interesting." Madara Uchiha asked with interest, "Which clan does this kid belong to?"

It's truly remarkable that he could see through his feigned death.

At least smarter than Tobirama Senju...

It's truly a pity that such a child was adopted by Tobirama Senju.

"Little Lotus Night is a member of the Uchiha clan." Hashirama Senju chuckled. "Hehe, didn't expect that, did you?"

"What?!" Madara Uchiha's eyes widened in disbelief. "The Uchiha clan?!"

It hardened; Ban's fist hardened.

That bastard Tobirama Senju actually dared to adopt a child from their Uchiha clan.

How dare this guy do that?!

Are all those guys in the family idiots?

They actually agreed to that request!

It is an utter disgrace that a child of the Uchiha clan was adopted by Tobirama Senju!

He had only been away from his clan for a few years, and the clansmen had already completely given up.

These spineless bastards are not worthy of being called members of their own people.

“Ever since you left the village, Tobirama has become even more wary of the Uchiha. I thought this was wrong, so I had him adopt an Uchiha child, hoping that through his interactions with that child, Tobirama would let go of his hatred for the Uchiha…”

Hashirama Senju then recounted the whole story in detail.

He did all this so that when Ban returned to the village, he would see that his people were not being targeted.

As it turned out, Ban did indeed return.

They brought back the Nine-Tails to destroy the village.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to kill him...

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha was completely bewildered.

No wonder Tobirama Senju adopted the Uchiha child; it turns out that bastard Hashirama was behind it all!

"That child wasn't bullied in Senju, was he?" Madara Uchiha asked in a cold voice, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Based on his understanding of Tobirama Senju, he would never easily accept the Uchiha child and would definitely always be wary of him.

That child named Renya probably wasn't very happy in Senju.

The feeling of being dependent on others is definitely unpleasant...

All of this is due to the incompetence of the clansmen, who actually agreed to Hashirama's rude demands; clearly, they have lost their fighting spirit.

This wouldn't have happened if he hadn't left Konoha...

However, the affairs of his clan were no longer his concern.

When he left the village alone, he was no longer a member of the clan.

He didn't care whether Lian Ye was doing well or not.

……

"Renya is doing very well in Senju, we all like him very much." Hashirama smiled brightly.

"Lianye's cooking is delicious. I'll have him make you some when I have time. I'm sure you'll like it!"

Once you've tasted Lianye's cooking, you'll never forget it.

Madara Uchiha did not agree, as long as Renya was not bullied by Tobirama Senju.

As for food, he had absolutely no interest in it.

Hashirama is just trying to lure me back to the village again, but this time I won't be fooled.

He still has unfulfilled dreams to pursue.

"Alright, stop following me." Madara Uchiha pulled his hand away. "Go back to where you came from."

As he spoke, he sped off into the distance.

"Ban, wait for me!"

Hashirama was surprised that Madara had run away again, so he quickly chased after him.

Chapter 214 When are you planning to get married?

The Tobirama Senju residence.

At this moment, Renya was unaware that Hashirama had already met Madara. He tied on an apron and placed the ingredients that Aunt Mito had bought one by one next to the cutting board.

He placed the mackerel on the cutting board, stunned it with the blade of his knife, deftly scraped off the scales, gutted it, and sliced ​​off two complete pieces of fish meat in the blink of an eye, the blade gliding along the fish bones.

Place the snow-white fish meat on a plate, sprinkle with salt and shredded ginger to marinate.

Next, pour a spoonful of rapeseed oil into the red-hot iron wok. Wait until the oil starts to smoke, then coat the marinated fish with cornstarch and put it into the wok.

"Thorn-"

The golden crust solidified quickly, and he gently flipped it over with chopsticks to ensure that each piece of fish was tinged with amber.

Meanwhile, in another casserole, the bone broth was bubbling. Lianye skillfully cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces, blanched them in boiling water to remove the beany taste, then slid them into the bubbling broth, sprinkled them with chopped green onions and goji berries, and simmered them over low heat.

The reason he added goji berries was because he felt that Tobirama Senju was getting old and needed to take good care of himself to avoid developing health problems from overwork.

Lianye began washing the eggplants, cutting them into small pieces, coating them with a thin layer of flour, and putting them into the oil used to fry fish.

When the eggplant turned fluffy and golden, he quickly scooped it out to drain the oil, then put scallions, ginger and garlic in a separate pot to sauté until fragrant. He added the eggplant and stir-fried it, then drizzled in light soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, and sprinkled on a handful of white sesame seeds.

Lianye scooped the tofu out of the casserole, poured the prepared sauce over the fish pieces, and put the eggplant on a plate.

Tsunade smelled the aroma and jogged into the kitchen.

She blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at Lian Ye, then took out the pork tenderloin that her grandmother had just bought.

"Uncle Lianye, I want sweet and sour pork!"

The little girl seems to really want to eat sweet and sour pork, otherwise why would she bring her own ingredients?

"Okay, okay." Lianye smiled as she took the pork tenderloin and began to process it on the cutting board.

Kids just love sweets.

He used a knife to cut diagonally into the meat, making shallow cuts two centimeters apart, then flipped it over and repeated the operation, before cutting it into strips about two fingers wide.

He poured in half a spoonful of cooking wine, a little white pepper powder and a pinch of salt, then put the meat strips into the bowl and rubbed them to better remove the fishy smell and let the meat absorb the flavor.

Crack two eggs into a bowl and mix with cornstarch to form a thick batter.

Lianye picked up the marinated meat strips, coated them with golden cornstarch, and waited for the rapeseed oil in the wok to ripple before putting the meat strips in, where fine oil droplets immediately rose.

He gently stirred the meat with chopsticks, and once the skin had set, he took it out. After the surface had set, he took it out again, at which point the meat strips were coated with a light golden crispy shell.

That's not all. While the oil is still 70% hot, put the fished-out meat strips back into the pot for a second fry.

In just a few dozen seconds, the color became even more enticing.

Tsunade, smelling the aroma of meat, subconsciously swallowed.

Lianye washed the pot clean, poured in two tablespoons of aged vinegar, three tablespoons of white sugar, one tablespoon of light soy sauce, and half a bowl of water and brought it to a boil. She then poured in water and cornstarch to thicken the sauce, and sprinkled it with white sesame seeds and minced garlic.

Crispy fried pork tenderloin, coated in a thick sauce, is piled high on a plate.

The sweet and sour aroma of sweet and sour sauce fills the kitchen, mingling with the caramelized scent of frying in hot oil, making one's mouth water.

Tsunade couldn't resist the tempting aroma of the sweet and sour pork on the table.

Ignoring the heat, she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour taste and the aroma of meat filled her mouth, making her squint her eyes in enjoyment.

Uncle Lianye's food is the best!

Grandma's sweet and sour pork was never good...

"You can take it over first," Renya said to Tsunade, who was engrossed in her meal.

"Okay, I understand." The girl licked her fingers and left with the sweet and sour pork.

Lianye then brought out the prepared dishes and placed them on the dining table.

"Renya, are you done?" Mito asked softly.

“It’s done, Aunt Mito.” Renya nodded in response, “I’ll go call Uncle back for dinner now.”

Mito originally wanted to call Tobirama home for dinner, but Renya stopped her.

Aunt Mito is already tired enough from cleaning the house, so let him do this little thing.

This old guy was busy processing documents in his office, completely unaware that he was about to be pressured to get married.
