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

Tobirama Senju approached Danzo and gently patted him on the shoulder. "Danzo, work hard. Actually, I have more faith in you than in that monkey."

"I understand, teacher!" Danzo's eyes were red, and he was moved to tears. "I will never let you down!"

Not only was Renya willing to give up the Hokage position for her, but even her teacher had high hopes for her!

Seeing this, Tobirama Senju nodded with satisfaction, "I believe you can surpass the monkey and become an excellent Hokage in the future!"

After a few words of encouragement, Danzo began to imagine himself becoming Hokage.

After Danzo left full of energy, Tobirama Senju said to the Anbu, "Go and call Hiruzen Sarutobi over."

Not long after, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked into the office.

Similar things are starting to happen again...

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"Monkey, I've seen your work lately, and it's been excellent."

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher!" Hiruzen was a little smug.

"Keep working hard, and I believe you can surpass Danzo and become an excellent Hokage in the future."

"Understood, teacher!" Hiruzen was equally moved to tears.

It has to be said that the two are truly best buddies; even their reactions are exactly the same.

After Hiruzen left excitedly, Tobirama Senju looked out the window and murmured softly, "Don't blame me, only competition can provide motivation."

Although he wants to retire as soon as possible, he cannot rush into choosing a successor and needs to observe from multiple perspectives.

Only an excellent Hokage can lead the village to prosperity; otherwise, the village will be plunged into an abyss of no return.

Both of them were his disciples whom he had trained since childhood, so naturally he didn't want them to make the wrong choices after becoming Hokage.

If Renya were willing to become Hokage, he wouldn't need to go through all that trouble.

"Just one more week..." Tobirama Senju's eyes lit up with anticipation; he would soon be able to eat the delicious food he had been longing for.

Promising Lianye to leave the village for six months was the worst decision he ever made in his life!

……

"Uncle Hashirama, don't be afraid. Aunt Mito has always been very kind." Renya kept comforting Hashirama, who was almost scared to death, along the way.

It is indeed my fault for forgetting Aunt Mito's instructions, but Uncle Hashirama spends every day with Lord Madara, doesn't he bear any responsibility at all?

If he cared about Aunt Mito, he wouldn't need me to remind him!

Anyway, Renya had already thought of a response to Aunt Mito's words.

As for Uncle Hashirama?

I can only hope for the best!

Hashirama Senju: "..."

Hehe, Mito is just being gentle with you.

All he wants now is to get back to the village as soon as possible and tell Mito the whole story. He really can't be blamed; the blame lies with Renya for forgetting everything.

Madara Uchiha glanced at Hashirama's frightened expression and gave a disdainful snort.

True strong people disdain marriage; women only hinder their hand seal speed!

Chapter 306 Kid, you're back?!

In the land of fire, in the cave where the two who faked their deaths once lived for a long time.

"Renya, go back and sound out Mito first," Hashirama Senju instructed Renya. "Make sure you tell her the reason—it's because you forgot to tell me, not because I didn't want to go back!"

Before knowing Mito's attitude, he didn't dare go back at all. What if Mito was still angry? Wouldn't he be beaten to death by his furious wife when he got home?

He could only let Renya explain things clearly first before he went home to visit Mito. This wasn't really his fault; the blame lay with Renya for forgetting.

He hoped that Renya could tell Mito the whole story, otherwise he would really be finished.

"How ugly, Hashirama," Madara Uchiha retorted sarcastically.

Back when he was still in Konoha, Hashirama often followed him around, and he was often scolded by Mito Uzumaki when he returned home.

But Hashirama never learns from his mistakes, and the next day he was hanging out with him again.

Madara Uchiha couldn't stand it anymore and told Hashirama to go home whenever he had time and stop following him around all day!

As a result, Hashirama immediately became aggrieved, like a wronged little wife, which disgusted Madara to no end. From then on, Madara never interfered in Hashirama's family affairs again...

"Madara, don't add fuel to the fire." Hashirama sighed helplessly. He had no mind to discuss things with his best friend; his mind was filled with worry about what would happen to him next.

"Tch." Madara Uchiha curled his lip in disdain, but didn't say anything more.

"Renya, you should go back first," Hashirama couldn't help but say. "You must tell Mito the truth!"

"Understood, Uncle Hashirama." Renya nodded seriously.

Honestly? Are you kidding me!

Is it even possible to talk about forgetting something so important?

Now that things have come to this, we can only ask Uncle Hashirama to make do.

Watch out, I'm about to start lying!

……

"Kid, you're back?!"

In the Hokage's office, Tobirama Senju couldn't sit still when he saw Renya appear before him.

He glanced instinctively at the few remaining pages of the calendar on the wall and a look of relief appeared on his face.

Not bad.

This kid even knows to come back a few days early!

Starting today, he will no longer need to eat military ration pills or seemingly nutritious but actually non-nutritious stomach-soothing meals.

From now on, I can enjoy delicious food made by Lianye at every meal!

This is what real life is all about!

Although he hasn't had any delicious food yet, he feels full of energy and can finish all the documents on the table in one go.

"Uncle, why do you look so haggard?" Renye frowned subconsciously as she looked at Senju Tobirama's sunken cheeks. "You're already so old, and you still don't know how to restrain yourself. You'll have problems sooner or later!"

Senju Tobirama was somewhat moved by what he had just heard. This kid has really grown up!

What he said next froze his expression.

What does it mean to... lack self-control?!

"Boy, what do you mean by that?" Senju Tobirama's forehead veins bulged. He was busy in the office every day, but this kid said he didn't know how to control himself!

Slander! Utter slander!

"Tsk tsk, you're so weak and you still want to argue." Lian Ye shook her head helplessly. "Fine, I'll make you a nourishing medicinal meal for lunch."

He's almost fifty and still doesn't know how to take care of his health. It would be hilarious if he died on a woman's belly one day.

Shocking! The Second Hokage of Konoha died last night on a woman's stomach!

If that's the case, even if Tobirama Senju dies, he'll be resurrected through Edo Tensei and his corpse will still be whipped by the world...

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "..."

Although he wanted to argue back, he ultimately swallowed his words of defense in the face of the nourishing medicinal diet.

I haven't had a good appetite lately, so I definitely need to eat some nourishing medicinal food.

"Kid, cook it until it's very soft; I haven't had much of an appetite lately," Tobirama Senju added.

"I know, Uncle." Lian Ye waved her hand. "Eat fewer soldier rations."

This old man's stomach problems are clearly caused by long-term use of military ration pills. Those things can supplement the body, but they can't be eaten as a meal!

Soldier ration pills can only maintain normal bodily functions; they offer virtually no nutritional value.

Eating this kind of food every day, coupled with high-intensity work, living past fifty would be considered a long life.

With that, he left the Hokage's office.

He still had to embellish the situation for Aunt Mito, so he didn't have time to chat with Tobirama Senju here.

"That kid..." Tobirama Senju muttered to himself, watching Renya's departing figure, "Who told you to leave the village for so long?"

If this kid hadn't left the village, he wouldn't have had to eat soldier's rations every day!

……

The residence of Hashirama Senju.

"Aunt Mito, I'm back!" Renya started her performance as soon as she entered the yard.

"Renya, you're back." Mito Uzumaki smiled. "Didn't you run into that guy on your way? It's been half a year, how come I haven't seen him?"

Although she wore a gentle smile, her tone was full of reproach.

She had given instructions before leaving, but half a year had passed and she still hadn't seen Hashirama.

It would be strange if she didn't feel resentful after waiting for so long.

Renya thought that Uncle Hashirama was probably doomed. Aunt Mito treated her like this, let alone Uncle Hashirama...

Fortunately, he had already prepared his response.

“Aunt Mito, actually I met Uncle Hashirama a long time ago,” Renya explained, “but I didn’t pass on your words to him…”

"Why?" Mito Uzumaki asked, puzzled.

"I wonder if Uncle Hashirama would offer to come back to the village to see you, but I've been by his side for months and he's never mentioned coming back to see you..."

Renya looked heartbroken, "Uncle Hashirama gambles at the casino every day and has never mentioned you!"

“I couldn’t bear to watch any longer, so I relayed your words to Uncle Hashirama a few days before I returned to the village.”

"So that's how it is." Mito Uzumaki gritted her teeth. "That Hashirama guy really went too far!"

"Lian Ye, where is he now?"

"Since he won't come to me, then I'll go to him!"

Mito Uzumaki was really angry. Hashirama had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and spent every day with Madara Uchiha.

Renya knew she was alright, but Uncle Hashirama was doomed.

As the saying goes, "Better to die a friend than to die a poor monk..."

Even if he forgot Aunt Mito's instructions, Uncle Hashirama still had a responsibility.

"Aunt Mito, please calm down. I'll go and call Uncle Hashirama over in a couple of days," Renya quickly advised.

As for why we need to wait two days?

Aunt Mito is in a bad mood, and if Uncle Hashirama comes over now, he'll definitely be beaten to death...

"Yes, I understand, Renya." Mito Uzumaki calmed down.

Just then, the sound of a baby crying suddenly came from inside the house.

Lianye: "???"

……

……

P.S.: I'm updating three hours early today, didn't realize it yet? Hehehe...

Thank you so much for the gifts, everyone! Love you all!
