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

His pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes flashed with a complex mix of emotions, including shock, astonishment, and disbelief.

What is this old bastard up to?!

Knowing that he wasn't full, did he then share the noodles with himself?

Lianye stared blankly at the extra half bowl of noodles in her bowl, standing there in a daze.

I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"I already ate one bowl, and I can't finish this one, so I'll share some with you." Tobirama Senju's expression was calm, as if he had just done something completely ordinary.

Seeing that Lian Ye remained standing still without any reaction, he couldn't help but remind her, "Don't just stand there, the noodles are about to clump together."

Hearing this, Lian Ye finally snapped out of her shock.

"Oh, I know."

He kept his head down, slurping his noodles, not daring to look up and meet Tobirama's gaze.

This old man's behavior today is too abnormal.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Seeing Renya's helpless expression, Tobirama Senju smiled slightly before starting to finish the half-bowl of noodles in his bowl.

Although I wasn't full, I felt about 60% full.

……

After the meal, Lianye took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it.

At this time, Tobirama Senju left the mansion and went to the shopping street to buy a few bottles of milk.

This is a necessary preparation before the experiment begins.

Just add a drop of this special sleeping potion, and you're guaranteed to make this kid sleep like a log, and he won't even remember what happened the next day.

This matter must not be known to that kid!

Especially now that Lian Ye has grown up, she's not as easy to fool as she was when she was little, so we must make sure that nothing goes wrong.

Tobirama Senju added three drops of sleeping potion to the milk.

After all, a long time has passed since the last experiment, so who knows how effective a drop of sleeping potion will be?

Just to be on the safe side, it's better to add a little more.

……

The Tobirama Senju residence.

"Uncle, what were you doing?"

When Renya saw Tobirama Senju returning with large bags of things, she asked him in confusion.

"I went to the shopping street to buy groceries for tomorrow," Tobirama Senju said. "I also bought two bottles of milk for you to drink before bed."

As he spoke, he took two bottles of milk out of his shopping bag and placed them on the living room table.

Lianye nodded, took the shopping bag, and put the groceries she bought into the kitchen.

The old man finally bought some groceries for the house.

Otherwise, they won't even be able to afford noodles for breakfast tomorrow.

When Lianye came out of the kitchen, she saw a glass of milk on the table.

It's obvious without even thinking about it.

This is the bedtime milk that Tobirama Senju poured for himself.

Drinking a glass of milk before bed is a long-standing family tradition.

Since Lianye was adopted, she has had a glass of milk almost every night before bed.

I haven't had a chance to drink milk on the battlefield these past two years, and I kind of miss it.

Without any hesitation, Lian Ye drank the milk on the table in one gulp.

Well, it still smells familiar.

How pleasant it would be to drink a glass of milk before bed!

…………

Late at night, in Lianye's room.

Tobirama Senju looked at Renya, who had fallen into a coma, and nodded in satisfaction. "The medicine is quite effective."

Tonight I can finally do some serious research!

Since Renya went to the battlefield in the Land of Lightning, the experimental data has not been updated.

Thinking it over, he gently picked up the unconscious Lian Ye and left the mansion under the cover of night.

Tobirama Senju, carrying Renya, leaped swiftly across the rooftops of the clan's territory, completely unaware that two pairs of eyes were watching him from the shadows.

Chapter 223 The Fake Death Duo

Only after Tobirama Senju, carrying Renya, disappeared into the night did the two figures in the shadows slowly reveal themselves.

The bright moonlight illuminated their faces, revealing them to be the two duo from Konoha who had faked their deaths—

Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara!

"Is that boy in your arms Tobirama's adopted son?"

Madara Uchiha glanced in the direction the two had left, his tone icy.

Where is Tobirama taking that kid so late at night?

If he wasn't mistaken, the boy in Tobirama Senju's arms seemed to have fallen into a coma.

It's hard not to suspect that Tobirama has ulterior motives...

Hashirama Senju nodded, his voice low, as if afraid of being discovered.

"Yes, this is Lian Ye, whom I mentioned to you."

They concealed their presence and sneaked into the village, only to witness the scene just as they arrived at the Thousand Hands territory.

Madara Uchiha frowned, his eyes filled with confusion, and couldn't help but ask:

"What is he doing taking that child out so late at night?"

I always had a feeling that Tobirama Senju had ulterior motives...

Based on Madara's understanding of Tobirama over the years, this guy would never easily accept the Uchiha clan.

As for what Hashirama saw before? It was just what Tobirama wanted him to see.

After all, with Hashirama's limited intelligence, he simply couldn't see the specifics of the situation.

As expected, Tobirama would never acknowledge the Uchiha clan!

Hashirama naively believed that Tobirama could let go of his hatred; how laughable!

When asked, Hashirama Senju couldn't answer and simply shook his head.

I could see clearly from that glance that Lian Ye's eyes were closed, and she was obviously unconscious.

This situation was truly bizarre; even he didn't know the specific reason...

Although he didn't know why, he felt that Tobirama wouldn't do anything to hurt Renya.

He had witnessed their interactions over the years, and Tobirama clearly recognized Renya as his adopted son, and he would never harm him!

Madara Uchiha's gaze grew even colder when he saw that Hashirama couldn't answer.

I should never have listened to Hashirama's lies.

I trusted Hashirama too much; this really is the last time!

I won't listen to his nonsense anymore.

The reason the two infiltrated Konoha dates back to the day before.

……

One day ago, in a forest somewhere in the ninja world.

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

As he spoke, his figure sped away into the distance, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Ban, wait for me!"

After a short rest, Hashirama Senju recovered and immediately circulated his chakra to catch up.

The two then engaged in a fierce chase.

Knowing that Hashirama was not in good condition and worried that he might run into trouble again, Madara Uchiha subconsciously slowed down his pace, always maintaining a speed that Hashirama could keep up with.

As time went on, Hashirama successfully caught up with and stopped Madara.

"Ban, wait a minute!"

Madara Uchiha, standing before Hashirama Senju, frowned and asked, "Hashirama, what exactly do you want?"

He was just teasing Hashirama out of boredom.

When you get tired of playing with it, just shake off this annoying fly.

"Madara, let's talk..." Hashirama Senju gasped for breath, "Don't leave yet, wait until I finish speaking."

"What are we going to talk about?" Madara Uchiha said coldly. "We have nothing left to talk about."

If it weren't for their past relationship, he would have attacked Hashirama long ago.

Although Ban said that, he actually stood still and showed no intention of leaving.

Hashirama Senju was delighted to see that Madara had not left.

He knew that Madara wasn't as heartless as he claimed.

"Ren Ye made great contributions on the battlefield, and with some of his merits, he is fully capable of becoming the Third Hokage!"

"Madara, I want to tell you that Tobirama has truly let go of his prejudice against the Uchiha clan through his interactions with Renya!"

Hashirama's words were meant to let Madara know that Tobirama had made a change.

He will no longer target the Uchiha clan.

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's eyes flickered with a very faint emotion, as if he had been gently touched by something.

But that fleeting emotion vanished in an instant, his face remaining expressionless. "What does this have to do with me?"

The affairs of Konoha Village have nothing to do with him.

He only wants to realize his dream now and doesn't care about anything else.

Whether the Uchiha clan can become Hokage is completely unimportant.

“Madara…” A trace of sadness flashed in Hashirama’s eyes.

He knew that Madara was completely disappointed in him, Tobirama, the Uchiha clan, and Konoha.

No matter how hard I try, I can't get him back to the village.

"I've helped you achieve your dream, and I hope you won't stop me... from achieving mine." Madara Uchiha stared at Hashirama expressionlessly.

These words were a message to Hashirama—stop bothering him.

"Madara, what is your ideal?" Hashirama asked quickly, "Can I help you achieve your ideal?"

Clearly, he hadn't heard Ban's hint at all.

“My ideal is to achieve true peace,” Madara Uchiha said.

Looking at Hashirama's expectant expression, he suddenly had the idea of ​​recruiting him.

If Hashirama is willing to help, the Eye of the Moon plan can definitely be successfully implemented.

However, Ban quickly dismissed the idea.

People with different principles cannot work together.
