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

Going back to buy rice to cook now is clearly unrealistic...

After all that time was wasted, lunchtime had already passed.

If that old bastard Tobirama Senju goes hungry and can't find me in the village, won't I have to use Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport over?

"Lord Ban, I'm sorry." Lian Ye scratched his head awkwardly. "I will definitely pay attention next time. Please make do with this meal for now."

Madara Uchiha's furrowed brows slowly relaxed; this matter was indeed not the kid's fault.

It's their own fault for not preparing anything.

It seems I'll have to gather some supplies in the cave later—

Rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, pots, pans, and dish soap.

This kind of thing won't happen again when that kid comes to cook tomorrow.

That's right, Madara plans to stay in the cave for the time being, and has Renya come over every day to cook for them.

"Click——"

Just as Madara was thinking about something, Hashirama had already snapped off the crispiest part of the fish tail.

Noticing Ban's gaze, he quickly stuffed the fish tail into his mouth, chewed with his cheeks puffed out, and sesame seeds still stuck to his lips.

"Hashirama, you're stealing food!" Madara quickly picked up his chopsticks and started picking up fish.

With a gentle lift of the chopsticks, the snow-white garlic cloves of meat fall off in one piece, revealing the golden fish skin connected by a thin layer of oil, which gleams with a honey-colored sheen in the firelight.

……

"These greens are delicious!" Hashirama took a bite of the greens, his eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up another piece with his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Ban picked up some greens and put them in his mouth; they tasted really good.

This kid's cooking is truly amazing!

Lian Ye knew that the two dishes on the table were far from enough to satisfy their appetites, so she could only turn her attention to the chicken and mushroom soup in the earthenware pot.

If you're still not full, you'll have to wait until next time.

He was in a hurry to get back and make lunch for Tobirama Senju, so he didn't have time to make another meal for them.

Soon, the two devoured the dishes on the table, their eyes simultaneously falling on the earthenware pot.

Who can eat all this food?

As time went by, the chicken and mushroom stew in the earthenware pot was completely ready.

Lianye gently stirred the earthenware pot with a wooden spoon, and a rich aroma rose with the white mist.

He took a bowl and scooped up a spoonful of soup.

The broth has an enticing amber color, with golden oil droplets floating on the surface. A piece of chicken thigh with skin on trembles in the spoon, along with several slices of matsutake mushrooms soaked in the broth.

"Lord Ban." He first ladled out a bowl and handed it to Ban.

"Renya, why didn't you give it to me first?" Hashirama's aggrieved voice came at just the right time.

Compared to Ban, he was clearly the one who spent the most time with Lianye, so why didn't he give himself the soup first?

There's no love left...

Madara Uchiha took the bowl with a smile on his lips. This kid is indeed worthy of being a member of his clan!

Knowing that it was a good thing, he gave it to the former head of the Uchiha clan first.

It seems this kid wasn't completely brainwashed by Tobirama Senju.

Perhaps he really can win Lian Ye over.

He first tasted the soup, and the delicious flavor immediately burst on his tongue, the richness of chicken oil and the fragrance of matsutake mushrooms intertwining in his throat.

"Mmm, it's delicious." Madara looked at Hashirama with a smug look on his face, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Renya, give me a bowl!" Hashirama urged Renya quickly, afraid that his best friend would drink it all if he was late.

"Okay, Uncle Hashirama." Renya quickly served Hashirama a bowl of soup.

Actually, he hadn't thought much about it beforehand; he just saw Ban at first glance, which is why he handed the soup to him first.

……

"Lord Madara, Uncle Hashirama, it's getting late, I'll head back to the village now."

If we don't go back soon, it'll be lunchtime, and that old man will be getting impatient again.

In order to prevent the secret of cooking for the two of them from being exposed, he had no choice but to return to the village as soon as possible to prepare lunch and avoid arousing Tobirama Senju's suspicion.

"Come again tomorrow at noon," Madara Uchiha said calmly, putting down his bowl.

Lianye: "???"

Seriously? We're coming again tomorrow?!

"Is there a problem?"

"without……"

If this continues every day, things will eventually come to light.

If Tobirama Senju found out, he wouldn't know how to explain it.

I can't exactly tell Tobirama that I was forced into it, can I?

Who would believe it?

P.S.: Hehehe, that's my limit, sob sob, only two chapters today, hehehe

Chapter 240 Kid, I am the Hokage!

"Kid, why are you going on another mission?"

In the Hokage's office, Tobirama Senju frowned as he looked at Renya in front of him, his tone filled with strong dissatisfaction.

He had lost count of how many times this kid had gone out on missions.

Every time Lian Ye finished a mission, she would return without even a day of rest before taking on another mission, and this cycle would continue endlessly.

The key is that each trip takes three to five days, but upon returning, one only gets one night's rest.

This means that it will be three to five days, or even longer, before you can eat a meal cooked by Lianye.

As a result, Tobirama Senju has barely eaten any of Renya's cooking these days and has had to rely on soldier pills to maintain his vital signs.

As for food?

Lianye wasn't even in the village, so where was he supposed to get the food?

He's been eating military ration pills every day, and he's lost a lot of weight. If this continues, he won't be able to keep up.

We must find a way to keep this kid here today, no matter what.

I only ate one meal last night, which wasn't nearly enough.

I thought Lian Ye would have some peace and quiet for a while, but this kid went to the mission gathering place to accept missions as soon as he got up.

Tobirama Senju had just glanced at the mission details; it was an S-rank mission to assassinate a wealthy merchant from an enemy country.

I won't be able to come back for at least ten days to two weeks.

The thought of not being able to eat delicious food for more than ten days made him even more reluctant to let Lian Ye leave.

He now feels nauseous at the sight of military rations and needs to eat delicious food every day to counteract it.

No, we absolutely cannot let this kid leave the village!

Tobirama Senju could never understand why Renya kept going on missions.

Is this kid short of money?

That shouldn't be the case. The reward for an S-rank mission is around one million taels of silver, and Lian Ye has already completed three S-rank missions in the past few days.

Logically, they shouldn't be short of money...

Then why is he still so insistent on taking on missions?

Moreover, they used to take Danzo and Koharu with them on missions, but they haven't been with them these past few days.

Tobirama Senju's scrutinizing gaze fell on Renya; he had a feeling that the boy was hiding something from him.

"Uncle, I've already accepted the mission, you can't expect me to give it up, can you?" Ren Ye looked at Senju Tobirama with a calm expression and helplessly shrugged.

Actually, he didn't want to go out every day, but Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju kept making him go over there to cook.

If he continues to go out of the village every day to cook for the two of them as before, Tobirama Senju will eventually notice.

Moreover, the two of them went from eating one meal a day to eating two meals a day, and they called him over to cook more and more frequently.

To prevent the matter from being exposed, we have no choice but to ask Tobirama Senju to do it.

Renya chose to accept the mission and leave the village. On the surface, she was going to carry out the mission, but in reality, she stayed by Hashirama and Madara's side and cooked three meals for them every day.

Madara Uchiha didn't just sit around doing nothing; he not only taught him how to train, but also helped him complete his missions.

With Madara's strength, carrying out assassination missions is as easy as drinking water for him; he can complete them almost instantly.

A task that usually takes five days can be completed in half a day by Madara. The rest of the time, Madara serves as the cook for the two of them and trains with Madara.

Renya naturally wouldn't forget Tobirama Senju, and would cook him a sumptuous dinner every time she returned to the village.

It's like being in Cao Cao's camp but having one's heart in Han's.

Although I prepared a delicious meal to make up for it, the old man still didn't seem satisfied.

To take Tobirama's feelings into consideration, Renya had made up her mind.

I'm going to discuss this with Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

He could only work as their cook for three days a week; the rest of the days he had to return to the village to cook for Tobirama Senju.

You cannot lose sight of one thing or the other.

Lianye did this simply to keep her two-timing secret.

Otherwise, if he goes on missions every day, that old bastard Tobirama Senju will eventually realize something is wrong.

If things come to light, it will be a real problem.

On one side are Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, and on the other side is Tobirama Senju...

It puts him in a difficult position; it wouldn't be good if he didn't cook for anyone.

"Do you really have to go out on a mission?" Tobirama Senju raised his voice. "Can't you rest for a few days?"

It's hard to believe that the Hokage would say something like that.

He wanted Lianye to rest for a few more days and not to stay away from the village forever.

If this kid leaves, who will cook for him?

We can't eat military ration pills every day, can we?

He's almost sick of eating it now.

“Uncle, a ninja can only hone their skills in battle. I think you understand that.” Lianye recited the words she had prepared beforehand.

These were the words that old man taught him back then.

It has now been moved over exactly as it was.

"I don't need to teach you about work-life balance, do I?" Tobirama Senju tapped his fingers lightly on the table and glanced at him.

If it were Hiruzen or Danzo saying something like that, he would definitely be happy to see it happen, but this kid Renya—

Absolutely not!

If he leaves, what will I eat?

Furthermore, although Lian Ye is very strong, there are still certain risks involved in carrying out an S-rank mission alone.

Wanting to become stronger is fine, but you can't be impatient, or you might run into danger.

"Becoming stronger is a gradual process. Everything requires accumulation. You can't get fat in one bite..." Tobirama Senju earnestly advised.

"Uncle, I rested well yesterday."
