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

His reaction was exactly the same as Tobirama Senju's, which just goes to show that the two are indeed master and disciple.

"How long do you plan to stay away?" Danzo asked.

If it's a short time, it's fine, but if it's a long time—

The small team they had painstakingly assembled was about to disband again.

He wouldn't have gone on a mission with anyone else if Lian Ye hadn't invited him.

If Lianye doesn't carry out missions for an extended period, then there's no need for him and Koharu Utatane to carry out missions together.

“I managed to get six months of time from Uncle,” Lian Ye explained with a smile. “I originally wanted to get a year, but he absolutely refused.”

Danzo's lips twitched upon hearing this; it would be a miracle if his teacher let him leave for a year.

To be honest, Danzo didn't expect that Renya could get his teacher to agree to let him leave for half a year.

If it were me, I would only be able to stay away from the village for a month at most.

It's important to know that ninjas from ninja villages cannot leave the village for too long without a special reason, and the stronger the ninja, the greater the restrictions they face.

This is a consensus reached among the various ninja villages...

Otherwise, if several elite Jonin left the village and wandered aimlessly in the ninja world, wouldn't anyone be worried and unable to sleep?

Who knows what they might do?

Furthermore, ninjas who have been away from the village for a long time are less likely to be restrained by the village and are prone to doing outrageous things.

Ultimately, ninjas are powerful killing machines to ordinary people, and the daimyo of various countries naturally do not want to see this happen.

Therefore, the major ninja villages treated those ninjas who left the village without cause as rogue ninjas to prevent their actions from affecting the village's reputation.

Generally, ninjas spend most of their time in the village except when they are on missions, and rarely leave the village for extended periods.

"You're not planning to come back for half a year?" Danzo couldn't help but ask.

This guy can't possibly spend half a year before returning to the village, can he?

"I guess so," Lian Ye nodded. "Six months isn't enough time for me."

He left the village not only for tourism, but also to find Uchiha Madara and explain the situation.

It will take some time just to work on Ban, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will have to stay by their side for a while.

Moreover, this trip wasn't about checking off tourist attractions; it was about experiencing life in different countries, and there simply wasn't enough time left.

Surely Renya couldn't possibly tell Danzo that she was forced to join Madara Uchiha's side for their safety?

"Half a year is enough for you to travel all over the ninja world," Danzo sneered.

He didn't understand what Renya was doing away from the village for so long. There was no place in the ninja world worth going to or staying for, so he might as well stay in the village.

"I'll be leaving in a couple of days. See you in six months." Lianye patted Danzo on the shoulder and instructed him, "Be careful when you're on a mission. Don't be reckless if you encounter danger. If you die, you'll lose everything."

"Hmph, I don't need you to remind me." Danzo slapped Renya's hand away. "You should be careful when you leave the village. Don't get ambushed and killed outside, or you won't even be able to find your body."

He didn't want Renye to be in danger, otherwise he would have no choice but to inherit the Hokage position with tears in his eyes.

Wait, thinking about it this way... it wouldn't be so bad if Lian Ye died outside.

However, he quickly dismissed this idea, not believing that anyone in the ninja world could kill Renya.

This guy's life is tougher than anyone else's.

"Haha, I got it." Lian Ye replied with a smile.

"Make your presence known to the old man more often, talk to him about the future development of the village, let him see your value, and it will be easier for you to become Hokage in the future."

Before leaving, Renya offered Danzo a plan.

Having been teammates for nearly ten years, his relationship with Danzo was naturally better than that with Hiruzen.

As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders." As long as Danzo doesn't do anything foolish, he would prefer Danzo to be the Hokage rather than Hiruzen.

Renya didn't want his teammate, Shimura Danzo, to become a ruthless scapegoat of Konoha because of his obsession with becoming Hokage...

Upon hearing this, Danzo's eyes lit up, and his breathing became rapid, clearly indicating that he had taken it to heart.

"I understand, thank you."

Although he didn't know why Lianye had told him this, he was still sincerely grateful to her.

If he ever becomes Hokage, he will never forget this kindness.

In his eyes, Lian Ye's figure suddenly became tall and majestic, radiating a holy glow.

Perhaps, this is what the gods are!

"That's all, Danzo. See you in six months." Renya said goodbye and left the Shimura clan compound.

Danzo watched his departing figure, subconsciously clenching his fists and muttering to himself.

"Ren Ye, I will become Hokage!"

Little did he know that from that moment on, his life trajectory began to change.

……

In front of the Ninja School.

"Uncle Lianye, what brings you here?!"

As Tsunade came out of school, she immediately saw Renya waiting at the gate and excitedly ran over to her.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru exchanged a glance, then followed.

Tsunade used to take the two of them to Renya's place for dinner every day, but they were punished by Mito Uzumaki.

Aside from getting a perfect score on an exam and being allowed to freeload a meal, you can't bother Lianye at any other time.

There was only one exam per month, which meant she could only eat delicious food once a month. This made the girl extremely aggrieved, so she beat up Jiraiya to vent her anger.

Lian Ye was both amused and exasperated after learning the truth.

Jiraiya was really pitiful, getting beaten up from a young age...

"Tsunade, invite Aunt Mito over for dinner tonight."

"Really? Uncle Renye!" Tsunade's eyes lit up. After so many days, she could finally eat delicious food!

"Of course it's true." Lianye rubbed the little girl's head, then looked at Orochimaru and Jiraiya, and said with a smile, "You guys come too."

"That's wonderful, thank you Lord Renya!" Jiraiya jumped up with joy.

He thought he wouldn't be invited to such a family banquet, but he never expected that Lady Lianye would invite him. This was completely unexpected.

Orochimaru looked puzzled. Judging from Lord Renya's expression, there must be something important to announce.

Chapter 272 Hashirama is doomed

"Lian Ye, what made you decide to invite me to dinner?"

At Tobirama Senju's residence, Mito Uzumaki walked into the kitchen, looked at Renya who was busy at work, and asked with a smile.

It should be noted that, except for holidays, Lian Ye rarely invites her to his home for meals; usually, Lian Ye goes to her home to cook.

She roughly guessed that Lian Ye had something to announce...

"Aunt Mito, you're here." Renya greeted her with a smile, "Please sit in the living room for a while, the food will be ready soon."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lianye."

Mito Uzumaki initially wanted to help out, but seeing Orochimaru and Jiraiya busy in the kitchen, she ultimately gave up the idea.

These two children are really well-behaved.

When she saw her granddaughter sitting on the sofa playing with the cat, she sighed helplessly. There is no harm without comparison.

Tsunade is getting lazier and lazier.

"Tsuna, aren't you going to help your Uncle Renya?" Mito Uzumaki scolded playfully.

"Grandma, I don't need any help, because I'm washing the dishes today," Tsunade explained.

Eating for free at Lian Ye's place is not allowed; even if her second grandfather came, he would have to obediently wash the dishes.

To paraphrase Uncle Lianye, "Where can you find a good deal like this: eating delicious food and not wanting to wash the dishes?"

He's a cook, not a waiter; you can't expect him to do everything.

The three children have developed a clear division of labor here with Lian Ye; some are responsible for helping out, and others are responsible for washing dishes.

Tsunade just ran to call Grandma over, so she's left the dishwashing to her.

"Oh, I see. It seems I misunderstood you." Mito Uzumaki covered her mouth and chuckled.

I didn't expect Lianye to be so experienced in educating children.

When Tsuna graduates from the Ninja Academy, we can tell Tobirama to let Renya be her team leader.

Renya was in charge of cooking, while Jiraiya and Orochimaru were in charge of serving the dishes.

As time went by, the table was filled with a sumptuous feast.

An enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen as Lianye plated the last dish.

Jiraiya tiptoed to receive the steaming miso soup and carefully walked to the table.

Orochimaru carefully observed every step of Renya's cooking process, openly learning from her, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

He seems to have successfully learned how to make tempura, and he's going to try it out when he gets home.

The table was still laden with a variety of dishes. The crystal-clear sushi was neatly arranged, the grilled fish emitted an enticing aroma, the assorted vegetables were brightly colored, and there were a variety of other dishes.

The three little ones' mouths watered at the sight; today's meal was more plentiful than ever before.

"Renya, thank you for your hard work," Mito Uzumaki said softly.

"Aunt Mito, don't be so polite." Renye took off her apron and sat down.

Tsunade and Jiraiya eagerly picked up their chopsticks, their eyes fixed on the food.

"I'm going to start eating!" the three little ones said in unison, their voices filled with undisguised excitement.

Jiraiya wolfed down the sushi he was eating, his cheeks puffing out like a hamster's.

Orochimaru elegantly picked up a piece of fish and savored it.

Tsunade, on the other hand, specializes in sweets, holding a red bean daifuku in one hand and reaching for dumplings on the plate with the other.

Seeing this, Lian Ye couldn't help but feel a little pained, as he had wanted to save these sweets for a late-night snack.

Judging from Tsunade's posture, she intends to finish all the sweets.

I was careless; I should have saved some to eat privately.

"Uncle Renye, why aren't you eating?" Tsunade asked, puzzled, while eating her sweets.

"Okay, I'll eat now." Lian Ye forced a smile.

Orochimaru glanced at the sweets Tsunade was holding, then at Renya's forced smile, a knowing glint in his eyes.

But he didn't make a fuss and silently ate with his head down.

Even if you know something, you should pretend you don't. This is something Renya once said to Orochimaru.

Clearly, he has taken it to heart.

Mito Uzumaki witnessed the entire event, maintaining a smile throughout.

A warm atmosphere filled the dining table, the clinking of cutlery made a crisp sound, and the three little ones' satisfied exclamations could be heard from time to time.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Lian Ye put down her chopsticks and said, "Actually... I have something to tell you all. I'm planning to leave the village for six months."

He invited a few people over for dinner today to tell them about his departure, so they wouldn't worry unnecessarily about not seeing him.

As soon as Lian Ye finished speaking, the dining table fell silent, with only the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the rim of the bowl.

Jiraiya's mouth gaped open, and the shrimp meat he had just picked up fell back onto the plate with a "plop".

"Six months?" He couldn't help but ask, "Lord Lianye, where are you going?"

Orochimaru's chopsticks hovered in mid-air, his golden vertical pupils slightly contracting.

He slowly put down his chopsticks, his voice lower than usual: "Lord Lianye, are you... going on a mission?"
