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

Renya left Iwagakure under the cover of night. Since she had failed to take revenge, there was no need for her to stay there.

He went to a deserted spot and summoned the Fat Cat, his summoning beast, again.

"Kid, you actually defeated the Third Tsuchikage, meow?" Scarface asked curiously.

It was just explaining the situation to Lord Ban in the cave, and the next second it was summoned here by this kid.

"No, almost." Lian Ye shook her head, showing no intention of explaining.

He couldn't possibly tell Scarface that he was being suppressed by Onoki's Dust Release, could he?

If this fat cat were to turn around and tell Madara Uchiha, wouldn't he lose face?

I originally came here to beat up that short, stout guy to vent my anger, but who would have thought that he would be so unsportsmanlike and unleash his ultimate move after only a short while.

With reinforcements from Iwagakure constantly arriving, the only strategic option left was to retreat.

Could that idiot Onoki really think he was blasted into dust by Dust Release?

Lianye's lips curled into a cold smile, as if she could already imagine Onoki's smug look.

Seeing that Lianye didn't want to explain, Scarface wisely refrained from asking further questions.

Anyway, Lord Ban only instructed it to monitor Renye; it didn't need to worry about anything else.

"Where do we go next, meow?"

"The largest gold exchange in the ninja world."

What are you going to the gold exchange for?

"I'm out of money, I'll go ask someone for some living expenses."

The man and the cat left the Land of Earth and headed towards the largest gold exchange in the ninja world.

Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well go to a gold exchange and see if I can find an ATM.

Kakuzu only knows how to save money; he never knows how to spend it.

You must understand that the money you earn only truly belongs to you the moment you spend it; the money you save doesn't belong to you at all.

Earning more money only brings more worries. Worrying every day about losing your hard-earned money can lead to psychological problems over time.

All Renya needs to do is steal the money Kakuzu earns; this will not only eliminate his troubles but also revitalize her own depleted wallet.

This is simply a win-win situation!

……

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

It was lunchtime. Tobirama Senju put the unfinished documents on the table, then closed his eyes and rubbed his slightly throbbing temples.

The image of Lian Ye involuntarily flashed into his mind...

"I should have known better than to let that kid leave for so long." A hint of regret flashed in Tobirama Senju's eyes.

Today is the second week since Lianye left the village, and he hasn't eaten Lianye's cooking for more than ten days.

The thought that this kind of life would continue for another five and a half months made him lose all interest in his work.

The lack of interest naturally led to the idea of ​​retirement.

"It seems I really need to consider retirement," Tobirama Senju murmured softly, then fell into deep thought.

Lianye had absolutely no interest in the Hokage position; otherwise, he would have retired long ago and let that kid become Hokage.

Currently, apart from Renya, only Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura are suitable among his disciples.

Two young faces flashed through his mind: Hiruzen and Danzo, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Choosing who to become Hokage is not only about strength, but also about whether they can lead the village toward the right future.

Tobirama Senju reminisces about his past interactions with the two...

Hiruzen Sarutobi is a genius-level ninja, proficient in all five chakra nature transformations, and mastered many advanced ninjutsu at a young age. More importantly, he has a cheerful personality, is good at uniting his comrades, and is deeply loved by his fellow soldiers.

This kind of approachability is an indispensable quality for a Hokage.

However, Hiruzen also had his flaws—he was sometimes too idealistic and had too many expectations of the good side of humanity. In the cruel ninja world, this trait could lead to misjudgments.

In contrast, Shimura Danzo was more realistic and decisive. He was also exceptionally talented, especially in Wind Release and Sealing Techniques.

Danzo acted swiftly and decisively, never dragging his feet, and showed no mercy to any factors that threatened the village.

Danzo's problem was that he was too extreme and inflexible. He was suspicious of enemies and even questionable comrades, a trait that made it difficult for him to win widespread support.

Even after becoming Hokage, his strong personality could still cause some avoidable dangers for the village.

Conquering a country is easier than maintaining it; this has been a problem from the very beginning.

Therefore, choosing a qualified successor is of utmost importance!

At first, Tobirama Senju felt that Hiruzen was more suitable to be Hokage, but Renya had recommended Danzo for the position.

This made him hesitate for a while, unable to make up his mind.

Since that kid was willing to offer suggestions, it means he genuinely believes that Danzo is more suitable to become Hokage than Hiruzen.

Tobirama Senju planned to spend time observing the two men's performances and then select one of them to become Hokage.

He still has some time before he truly retires, so he has plenty of time to train them into qualified Hokage.

"This kid really knows how to give me trouble..." Tobirama Senju said with a hint of helplessness.

If Renya had been willing to become Hokage, none of this would have happened.

"Hiruzen, Danzo, I hope you won't let me down..."

Renya, who was currently traveling in the ninja world, had no idea that Tobirama Senju was planning to retire.

The reason was surprisingly that he lost interest in his work because he hadn't been able to eat delicious food for a long time...

Chapter 292 Why is there no bounty on my head?

The damp air was filled with the smell of rust and mildew, mixed with a strong stench of blood.

The largest underground gold exchange in the ninja world is hidden deep in an abandoned mine in the Land of Rivers. The flickering torches on the rock walls cast distorted shadows onto the uneven surface of the walls.

"Is this really the biggest gold exchange in the ninja world, meow?" Scarface tilted his head and looked at Ren Ye. "Kid, you haven't been scammed, have you?"

Given the dilapidated state of the place, no one would believe that this was actually the largest gold exchange in the ninja world.

Lian Ye stared at the map she had bought at a high price, her face grim beneath her bamboo hat.

He certainly didn't know the exact location of the exchange, but in order to find Kakuzu's ATM, he had no choice but to spend money to buy information.

He bought this map from a merchant at a high price.

But looking at him now, it seems like he's been tricked...

But Lianye couldn't tell Fat Cat about this, so she could only pretend not to care.

"You're here, let's go in and take a look."

Since we're already at the entrance, we might as well go in and take a look. What if the map is real, and this really is the largest gold exchange in the ninja world?

"Alright then." Scarface nodded.

Actually, it was also very curious whether Renye had been deceived. If she had, it would tell Lord Madara about it...

The man and the cat quickly entered the cave, and thankfully, it turned out to be a gold exchange.

Although I don't know if it's the largest gold exchange, as long as it's a gold exchange, that's enough.

As soon as Lian Ye entered, dozens of wary gazes were cast upon her from all corners.

In his observation, these people included rogue ninjas with scars all over their faces, bounty hunters with gloomy eyes, and even a few ninjas from different ninja villages wearing headbands from different ninja villages, who were obviously taking on private jobs here.

Here, everyone is a potential prey, or perhaps a hunter who kills to steal treasure.

“A new face.” Behind the counter, the one-armed old shopkeeper squinted his cloudy eyes and tapped the table with his remaining three fingers. “Do you understand the rules? The entrance fee is 50,000 taels of silver, or weapons and equipment of equivalent value, or… intelligence.”

Lian Ye frowned in displeasure upon hearing this; they were already losing 50,000 taels of silver before even opening for business.

It seems I'll have to ask Kakuzu for reimbursement later.

He took out 50,000 taels of silver notes from his pocket and placed them on the counter. The old shopkeeper took the notes and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to issue a bounty or accept a bounty?"

Lian Ye didn't answer; his gaze fell on the entire wall to his right, covered with wanted posters. The stone wall was densely covered with papers, ranging from the lowest-level D-class bounties to S-class bounties worth hundreds of millions, all neatly arranged according to the amount.

At the very top are several bounty posters with gold embossing—those are the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

The highest bounty was offered on Tobirama Senju, a whopping 500 million ryo! It's obvious this was the bounty issued by the daimyo of the Land of Lightning...

If nothing unexpected happens, the grass on that famous person's grave is already three meters high.

In recent years, the Land of Lightning has been vigorously developing its economy, and we won't go into too much detail about where the money comes from.

"Hey, are you deaf?" A burly man with a hideous scar across his face stood up, the kunai hanging from his waist jingling with his movements.

Seeing this, several of his companions also stood up and reached for their waists.

Clearly, they had already identified Lianye as their prey.

In the bounty hunter industry, double-crossing is a very common phenomenon.

Because this was a gold exchange, they couldn't take direct action, so they could only try to provoke the other party.

If a newcomer acts rashly and makes the first move, they can swarm him and hack him to death, taking all the money on his person.

The others around watched the scene with great interest, wondering whether the newcomer would be beaten to death or fight back against the group single-handedly.

Lian Ye remained silent, too lazy to pay attention to these small fry, and slowly walked towards the bounty wall.

He's been looking at it for a while and discovered a very serious problem!

It seemed that there was no bounty on his head. Just in case he had missed it before, he looked at it carefully again, but still couldn't find his own headshot.

Damn it, do these guys look down on me?

Why isn't there a bounty on my head?

Lian Ye's voice was filled with doubt and confusion. His voice was very soft, almost like he was talking to himself, but it could be clearly heard in the quiet exchange.

He stood in front of the bounty wall, looking up at the wanted posters.

After a brief silence, a shrill laugh erupted.

"Hahaha, has this guy's brain been slammed in a door?" The scarred, burly man slammed his fist on the table, laughing so hard he almost fell over. "Who does he think he is? A Kage-level rogue ninja? A valuable head isn't something everyone can have!"

A tall, thin man wearing glasses in the corner added with a sneer, "Perhaps... he thinks he's lived too long and wants to put a bounty on his head to find someone to kill him?"

There was another round of laughter.

The old shopkeeper shook his head. He had seen many young people like this who didn't know their place, and they usually didn't live more than three days.

"Have you laughed enough?" Lian Ye's icy voice rang out, and the surrounding laughter immediately stopped, as they found themselves suddenly locked onto by a chilling killing intent, and their faces instantly showed expressions of terror.

"If you've laughed enough," Lian Ye drew her katana from her waist, "you can then set off."

He was already annoyed because there was no bounty on the bounty wall for him, and then these clueless guys had to make sarcastic remarks.

He, the "Breaking Bad" of Konoha, had finally become a Kage-level powerhouse after decades of arduous training, but not only did he not have a bounty on his head, he was also ridiculed by a bunch of trash.

Uncle can tolerate this? No, I mean, a gentleman can tolerate this, but what cannot be tolerated!

Since that's the case, we'll just have to send these guys on their way ahead of time...

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death! Everyone, attack together!" The scarred, burly man roared, gripping his kunai as he charged toward Lian Ye.

Upon seeing this, the companions around immediately realized what was happening and quickly followed.

In the dim light, a blade flashed, followed by a head flying high into the air. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the scarred, burly man who had charged ahead.

Before anyone could react, the group of henchmen behind them were also decapitated.

"Oh my god, someone's been murdered!" The other bounty hunters who were watching the spectacle were in complete chaos.

It's worth noting that the scarred, muscular man is a regular at the gold exchange. He managed to escape unscathed even when surrounded by three elite Jonin, proving himself to be a true elite Jonin.

As a result, this powerful individual was instantly killed in a single encounter.

The new guy could easily kill the scarred strongman and his companions, and he could easily kill their group as well.

The bounty hunters lost interest in watching the spectacle and rushed towards the exit, wanting to get away from this dangerous place.
