Chapter 225 [The Rebellious Shadow Clone]

In the laboratory.

Tobirama Senju was unaware that his actions had been witnessed by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Tobirama skillfully placed Renya in his arms on the experimental table, and then restrained his limbs to prevent muscle reactions during the experiment.

Having done all this, Tobirama Senju looked at the unconscious Renya with satisfaction and took out the [Uchiha Observation Manual] from his pocket.

On the page he opened it, it read—

[A rebellious shadow clone?]

Ever since Lian Ye learned the Shadow Clone Technique, the shadow clones she created have all had some problems.

It has no impact on combat, but it causes serious problems in daily behavior.

Sometimes they can be so rebellious as to actively dispel their shadow clones.

Most importantly, Lian Ye's shadow clone showed her extreme disrespect!

They kept calling him "old man," showing absolutely no respect whatsoever!

Even more evil than those evil Uchiha!

Tobirama Senju once asked Renya, but the kid said he didn't know, and that it had been like this ever since he summoned his first shadow clone.

Even for a master of forbidden arts with extensive experience, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

I was busy researching other things before and didn't have time to deal with the shadow clone problem.

He specifically brought Lian Ye here to find out the truth about this matter.

Tobirama Senju brought his face close to observe Renya, and began to jot down notes in his notebook.

"This kid's physical abilities are getting stronger and stronger."

"It seems that our initial assumptions were correct; our physical functions have indeed been greatly improved."

"I wonder if I'll ever catch up with my older brother?"

After discovering the secrets of the Senju and Uchiha clans, he wondered if the fusion of their bloodlines would cause any changes.

Therefore, Tobirama Senju secretly conducted a series of experiments, studying his own blood and Renya's blood samples.

He actually discovered that the two bloodlines had fused together—

It can make the body's cells more active and stronger than before the fusion.

The accelerated cell division rate enhances the body's resilience and mental strength, resulting in an abnormally large amount of chakra.

Far surpassing ordinary Senju and Uchiha clan members.

After observing for a long time and finding no danger, he secretly injected some of his own blood cells into Lian Ye's body.

This explains the dramatic changes in Lian Ye's body over the years...

As the experiment continued, Tobirama Senju was shocked to discover that Renya's body cells were growing at a slow rate every year!

Perhaps it won't take many years.

Lianye can reach the same level as her older brother.

What shocked Tobirama even more was—

Those cells that divide can create new cells and continue to divide!

Cell division produces new cells...

This means that Lian Ye's body will age much more slowly than usual.

According to his estimation, Lianye's lifespan could reach between one hundred and one hundred and twenty years.

These cells are still growing slowly year by year, and it is still unknown how long they will live.

When Tobirama Senju learned of the changes in Renya's body, he realized that he had created a monster with his own hands.

His first thought at that moment was to kill Renye.

If this kid continues to grow, he might very well become the second Madara Uchiha!

The Uchiha clan members are prone to extreme thinking. If Renya were to go astray one day, almost no one in the ninja world would be able to stop her.

Although reason told him to nip the danger in the bud, he ultimately gave up when he saw Lianye fall into a coma.

By then, he had spent several years with Renya and had long since accepted this Uchiha brat in his heart.

Naturally, they couldn't bear to kill it.

Ultimately, he caused all of this; that Uchiha brat is innocent...

Tobirama Senju decided to teach the child properly and make sure he didn't go astray.

If Lian Ye ever goes down an extreme path, I will personally end the life of my adopted son!

Fortunately, in the past ten years of getting along, Lian Ye has never caused him any worry.

This kid not only loves the village and cares for his comrades, but he also cooks incredibly well and has made tremendous contributions on the battlefield. He has become the perfect successor to the Hokage.

He was very glad that he hadn't killed Renya back then; this kid was really different from the other Uchiha.

His thoughts drifted back to the present. Tobirama Senju looked at the unconscious Renya and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "You really didn't disappoint me."

As he spoke, he continued writing down the data he hadn't finished.

After observation, he discovered that it was probably a problem with Lian Ye's mental strength that caused the shadow clones to develop rebellious thoughts.

This kind of problem is so rare that Tobirama didn't know that this kid's mental strength was inherently problematic.

Or did the problem only arise after the experiment?

There's no concrete solution yet; we can only ask the kid again during the day.

We'll see if we can solve this problem then.

Tobirama Senju glanced at the time; it was still early, and the effects of the sleeping potion were still ongoing. He decided to continue observing the cell division.

He unbuttoned Lian Ye's shirt, revealing her well-defined muscles, and took out a syringe to draw a small amount of blood from her chest.

The needle mark disappeared as soon as the syringe was removed.

Tobirama Senju dressed Renya again, then took the syringe and turned to the experimental table.

…………

In the dense forest on the edge of the Senju clan's territory, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha hid behind a tree.

"Where did Tobirama take that child?" Madara Uchiha was getting impatient. "Why haven't they come back yet?"

Several hours had passed, and it was almost dawn, but the two still hadn't returned.

Madara already harbored resentment towards Tobirama, and now he felt even more that the other party had ill intentions.

This guy is definitely doing something shady.

"Madara, don't worry." Hashirama Senju said with a cheerful smile, trying to ease the tension. "Tobirama should be back soon."

"Renya is Tobirama's adopted son; he would never do anything to harm Renya..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ban coldly interrupted him.

“You can trust him, of course. But don’t forget, he is Tobirama Senju, the guy who is wary of the Uchiha clan to the core.”

Although he didn't care about these clansmen, he was still dissatisfied with Tobirama Senju's behavior.

After all, Tobirama Senju had been quite wary of him back then.

That feeling made him very unhappy!

"Madara, calm down, this won't happen." Hashirama Senju quickly comforted his best friend, worried that he might get impatient and leave the village.

Having finally managed to coax Ban over, and not even having tasted Lianye's cooking yet, how could she possibly be willing to leave like this?

Even if you're going to leave, shouldn't you at least eat something before you go?

He's been craving this for two years.

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly and closed his eyes to rest.

Just then, faint footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Senju Tobirama was seen carrying the unconscious Renya on his back, slowly walking towards the Senju clan's territory.

He was completely unaware of the two people hiding in the woods.

Chapter 226 The Uninvited Guest

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju hid behind a tree, watching Tobirama Senju carry Renya into the mansion.

"Madara, Tobirama is finally back." Hashirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief. "We can go in once Tobirama leaves."

Although he knew Tobirama wouldn't do anything to harm Renya, he was worried that the two of them wouldn't return, causing Madara to become impatient.

Now that I'm back, I can finally feel at ease.

At least Ban won't make a fuss about leaving the village.

All they need to do is wait for Tobirama to leave the house so they can sneak in and find Renya.

Then Lianye will be able to cook a sumptuous meal, and I believe Ban will fall in love with his cooking skills after eating it.

Tobirama's perception was very strong, so Hashirama and Madara didn't dare to get too close.

After all, they had no intention of revealing their identities...

In particular, Madara was very resistant to having his identity exposed, so we could only go along with his wishes.

Otherwise, Hashirama would have already taken Madara back to the village openly and legitimately.

At this distance, they were confident they wouldn't be detected as long as they concealed their presence, even though Tobirama had strong sensory abilities!

This is the confidence of the strong.

Madara Uchiha's tightly closed eyes had already opened, and he slowly spoke as he gazed at the gate of the mansion.

When will he leave?

"It should be soon, right?" Hashirama Senju said somewhat uncertainly, "Tobirama will have to go and take care of his work after dawn."

I remember that this was the kind of schedule Tobirama had when he was acting Hokage.

Hopefully, his daily routine hasn't changed over the years.

Madara Uchiha nodded slightly and closed his eyes again.

If Hashirama hadn't insisted on eating Renya's cooking, he would have left Konoha long ago and wouldn't have wasted a whole night here.

I don't understand just how delicious that kid's cooking was that Hashirama couldn't stop thinking about it.

Perhaps this is just an excuse to fool himself into going back to the village.

Hashirama stared longingly at the front gate, hoping that Tobirama would leave home soon.

……

The Tobirama Senju residence.

Senju Tobirama carefully placed Renya on the bed and returned to his room as if nothing had happened.

The effects of the medicine are wearing off, so we dare not make any loud noises, lest we wake Lianye.

He was very skilled at this kind of thing. When Lianye got up, he would follow her out of the room and pretend to have just woken up.

Judging by the time, the kid should be waking up soon.

As expected, Tobirama sensed that Renya had moved in the room.

……

When Lianye woke up, she felt refreshed and invigorated.
