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

"Their strength is indeed very strong."

Nara Honya sat down next to Renya and asked, "Renya-kun, are you confident you can defeat him?"

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye remained silent for a moment before revealing a confident smile.

"Although he is quite strong, I am not weak either."

"I see..." Nara Honya outwardly seemed to understand, but inwardly he was cursing, "They're all monsters!"

He was considered a genius among the Nara clan, yet he was defeated in just a few moves here.

Nara finally understood why his clan chief father had put him in Class A.

In this environment, it would be strange if someone didn't want to become stronger.

"Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Kagami."

Lianye looked curious and murmured softly, "Who is stronger, Kagami or Danzo?"

Uchiha Hiko seemed to hear Renya's question and explained:

"Is that even a question? Of course, that kid Jing is stronger!"

On the field, the two were about to engage in a battle.

As Uchiha Hiko said, Uchiha Kagami was superior and quickly defeated Shimura Danzo.

"Damn it!" Shimura Danzo fell to the ground in a sorry state, raising his fist and slamming it into the ground in frustration.

He lost and was in a bad mood.

Losing to Uchiha Renya and Hiruzen before was bad enough, but now he's lost to Uchiha Kagami...

No matter what, he was a genius of the Shimura clan, yet he was defeated one after another.

This made me feel very embarrassed.

"Danzo, are you alright?" Uchiha Kagami reached out, trying to help Danzo up.

"Get away, I don't need your pity!" Shimura Danzo pushed away the hand that was being held out by the mirror.

Then, Danzo gritted his teeth, braced himself with his hands on the ground, and struggled to his feet.

He secretly vowed to himself that he would never lose again next time!

"Uchiha Renya, Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Center of the field.

Lian Ye was dressed in a black ninja outfit, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind.

He turned slightly to the side, assuming a fighting stance, exuding confidence and a powerful aura. "Hiruzen, I will not show any mercy."

"Understood, Renya-kun." Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was solemn. "I will do my best!"

The students around them stared intently at the two, even the "cool guy" Hinata Yuuki was no exception...

"Rin, do you think Uchiha Renya will win?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure about his strength."

"If only I had cornered him in the alley yesterday..."

Lian Ye naturally overheard their conversation, and her lips twitched.

Goodness, do these two have a particular fondness for alleyways?

Looks like we'll have to put them in sacks...

With a command from Takuma Senju, the battle erupted instantly.

Renye took the initiative, flashing in front of Hiruzen and striking him directly in the face with her right fist.

Hiruzen dodged to the side and grabbed Renya's arm.

Renya reacted quickly, pulling her arm back in time, flipping her body in the air, and kicking her feet hard at Hiruzen's chest.

Hiruzen quickly retreated, crossing his arms in front of his chest to block the attack.

The two separated briefly to adjust their state.

Lianye took a deep breath and had to admit that Hiruzen was very strong. No wonder he would become Tobirama Senju's disciple and inherit the position of Hokage in the future.

The title of "Renxiong" (忍雄) is well-deserved.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn.

He hadn't expected that Lian Ye could fight him to a standstill.

Although he didn't use his full strength or his best ninjutsu, he should know that he is two years older than Renya!

It's already disgraceful to bully the weak, let alone fight to a draw. That's really shameful, isn't it?

Seeing this, Danzo Shimura's lips curled up slightly. "Now I'm not the only one who's embarrassed."

While he regretted his own defeat, he was very pleased with Hiruzen's failure!

Just as the two were about to continue fighting, they were stopped by Takuma Senju.

"You two did a great job, go back now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if the fight continued, he would suffer the same fate as Danzo, being defeated by Renya.

At that point... he really won't be able to hold his head up high anymore.

Takuma Senju looked emotional and murmured softly:

"As expected of the child raised by Lord Tobirama!"

His abilities have far surpassed those of his peers.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Lianye is Mine!

In the afternoon, the ninja school let out.

This is the happiest moment of the day.

Lianye packed her things, preparing to go home for dinner.

At this moment, a group of people appeared and blocked Lian Ye's way.

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kagami Uchiha, Danzo Shimura, and others came to Renya.

They acted as if they were there to cause trouble...

Upon seeing this, Lian Ye frowned slightly.

Are these guys planning to beat me up?

Lian Ye subtly distanced herself from the others.

As soon as they made the slightest move, Lianye would run away immediately.

He really had no way to deal with the attack from several people.

If we don't run away, we'll just get beaten up...

Lian Ye was overthinking it; the group simply wanted to invite him out for dinner, nothing more.

"Renya-kun, shall we go eat some barbecue together?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

Hearing this, Lian Ye finally realized what was happening.

So he wasn't looking for trouble after all...

"Renya-kun, I know a barbecue place that's really good," Uchiha Kagami chimed in.

In response to their invitation, Lian Ye shook her head and said, "Sorry, I have to go home and cook. I don't have time to go out to eat with you."

He knew without even thinking that old bastard Tobirama Senju was definitely waiting for him to come home and cook.

Lianye felt helpless about this.

He became Tobirama Senju's cook.

Upon hearing this, the group did not insist. After saying goodbye to Lian Ye at the school gate, they left together.

--------

The Tobirama Senju residence.

"Uncle, have you bought the ingredients?" Lianye asked.

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju put down the documents in his hand and said, "You don't need to cook today. Let's go to my older brother's house for dinner."

"understood."

Lianye was happy to have some free time. Today's training was indeed quite tiring, so it was even better not to cook.

After taking a bath, he followed Tobirama Senju to Hashirama Senju's mansion.

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked side by side in the Thousand Hands Clan's territory.

"Kid, how did you do at school today?" Tobirama Senju suddenly asked.

"In actual combat training, I fought Hiruzen Sarutobi to a standstill," Renya answered truthfully.

As the founder of the Ninja Academy, this old fellow's every move at the school could not be kept secret from him.

Didn't you see that the homeroom teachers of Class A are all from the Thousand Hands Clan?

Renya suspected that there were two possibilities behind Tobirama Senju's question to her...

The first type is simply finding topics to talk about when there's nothing else to talk about.

The second reason is to test whether you are hiding the truth.

The former is alright, but the latter is a bit chilling to think about.

This shows that even after spending a year together, Tobirama Senju was still very wary of him...

Tobirama Senju nodded knowingly and did not ask any further questions.

Renya looked at Senju Tobirama, trying to discern something from his face, but unfortunately found nothing.

Tobirama Senju was always cautious and rarely revealed his inner thoughts.

If Renya could easily see through his thoughts, then he wouldn't be Tobirama Senju.

Soon, the two arrived at their destination.

The residence of Hashirama Senju.

"Uncle Hashirama."

Renya greeted Hashirama Senju in the courtyard.

"Big brother," Tobirama Senju greeted him.

"Haha, Little Lianye, you've finally arrived."

Hashirama Senju approached Renya warmly, without even glancing at Tobirama Senju standing to the side. "I haven't tasted your cooking in a long time. Could you show off your skills today?"

Tobirama Senju was left standing aside by his older brother, looking utterly exasperated.

"Brother, you called us here just for this?"

He wondered why his older brother had suddenly invited them over for dinner; it turned out he had this scheme in mind…

"Haha, Little Lotus Night's cooking is amazing! I haven't had it in a while, and I'm really craving it." Hashirama Senju said with a smile.

Renya glanced at Tobirama Senju, her expression seeming to say: [Didn't you say you weren't going to cook today?]

Tobirama Senju turned his head away, pretending not to see Renya's expression.

"Little Renya, please? I beg you!" Hashirama Senju pleaded, his hands clasped together.

"Brother, you've been incredibly rude!" Tobirama Senju scolded.

He's supposed to be the Hokage of Konoha, yet he'd go to such lengths for a meal. It's utterly shameful!

Hashirama Senju ignored Tobirama and looked pitifully at Renya.

Lianye couldn't stand Hashirama Senju's gaze. "I understand, Uncle Hashirama."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju immediately beamed with joy, "Haha, thank you for your hard work, Renya."
