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

"Waaaaaahh ...

When Lian Ye heard the sudden crying coming from inside the house, her mind went blank for a moment, and her eyes showed confusion and disbelief.

Aunt Mito...where did you get this child?!

His mind involuntarily conjured up various news stories from his past life—a husband who had been away from home for three years returned to find his wife had given birth to a son.

Hashirama could use Wood Release to make himself a green hat to wear.

It's perfectly normal for the Wood Release Master to have a straw hat on his head...

No way, that's not normal at all!

What the hell, where did this kid come from?!

Lian Ye was completely bewildered in the wind, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

He had only been away from the village for half a year, and Aunt Mito already had a child.

Although Hashirama faked his death on the surface, he wasn't really dead! Isn't what Mito did a bit too much?!

"Renya, wait a moment." Mito Uzumaki turned and went into the house, and soon came out carrying a baby.

She noticed Renya's constantly changing expression, and while comforting the baby in her arms, she explained softly, "You left the village only a few months ago, and Fujikami and Sakura entrusted their newborn child to me to raise."

Fujigakure and Sakurako are Tsunade's biological parents, and they have always lived in the capital of the Land of Fire.

"Haha, so that's how it is..." Upon hearing this, Lianye immediately realized that it was because that kid, Nawaki, had been born.

A false alarm.

He said that Aunt Mito wasn't that kind of person!

He could only blame himself for his brain malfunctioning at the time, failing to grasp the situation and forgetting that Tsunade had a younger brother named Nawaki who was about ten years younger than her.

"Aunt Mito, could you please take a look at my child?"

"No problem at all."

Renya held Nawaki in her arms, looking at the tearful little one in front of her, and asked knowingly, "Aunt Mito, what's this little brat's name?"

In the original story, this kid was brainwashed by the Will of Fire at a young age and rushed to the front line with a surge of passion, but was unexpectedly killed by an explosive tag trap that the enemy had laid in advance.

He can only be described as an unlucky guy who has the template of a protagonist but not the fate of one.

His death dealt a significant blow to Orochimaru and Tsunade, indirectly affecting their fates.

"This child is named Nawaki." Mito Uzumaki smiled gently as she mentioned her grandson, briefly putting aside the displeasure brought on by Hashirama.

“Yes, Rope Tree.” Renya nodded and returned the Rope Tree to Mito.

We need to keep an eye on this kid from now on, lest he get blown up by the explosive tags again.

"Aunt Mito, I'm going back now. I'll have Uncle Hashirama come back to the village to see you in a couple of days," Renya said.

"Okay, you can go back now." Mito Uzumaki nodded and gently shook the Nawaki in her arms.

Lianye glanced at the rope tree, then turned and left the courtyard.

Aunt Mito stays at home every day, so it's not bad to have a baby to keep her company.

The Tobirama Senju residence.

"Danzo, what are you doing here?" Renya had just returned when she saw Shimura Danzo standing at the gate.

"Tobirama-sensei said you were back, so he thought he'd come over and have a chat with you." Danzo's eyes shone with barely concealed excitement. He was noticeably more cheerful than before, no longer the lifeless person he had been.

He was beaming with pride! Like he'd won the lottery.

"Let's go inside and talk." Lianye took out her key, opened the gate, and led Danzo into the courtyard.

"Renya, did you know?" Danzo said eagerly as soon as he entered the room, "Tobirama-sensei is interested in making me Hokage!"

He had kept this matter buried in his heart and hadn't told anyone. He was so frustrated, so he came to Lian Ye's house to brag about it as soon as she returned.

After all, Tobirama-sensei had said that Renya had recommended him to become Hokage.

This shows that Renya really has no interest in the Hokage position, and it's perfect to confide in her about this.

After learning the truth, Danzo completely regarded Renya as a friend.

"Congratulations, Danzo," Renya said with a smile.

Based on his understanding of that old fox Tobirama Senju, he would never so easily pass on the Hokage position to Danzo; he would definitely conduct a series of investigations.

In the original story, the situation was so dire that Hiruzen Sarutobi was appointed Hokage out of necessity. But now that old man is alive and well, it's impossible to easily elect a new Hokage.

That old bastard definitely wants to choose an excellent Hokage to lead the village to prosperity...

Whether Danzo can truly achieve his goal remains to be seen, depending on his future actions.

Tobirama Senju's words to Danzo were more of an encouragement than a genuine intention to pass the position to him.

The prince is often ill, you should encourage him.

Throughout history, this saying has harmed countless people who desired power.

Danzo is clearly being thoroughly fooled by Tobirama Senju.

But Lianye had no intention of discouraging him; perhaps he really could pass the test and become Hokage.

"When you become Hokage in the future, you'll have to protect me, right?" Lianye joked with a smile.

He wasn't joking; once Danzo became Hokage, taking leave wouldn't be as troublesome as it is now.

No more begging Tobirama Senju when we go on vacation!

"Hmph, of course." Danzo's mouth stretched almost to his ears as he listened to Renya's flattery.

The illusion from back then is about to become reality!

Hiruzen, I've already decided on the position of the Third Hokage.

You can only compete for the position of Fourth Hokage after I retire...

Danzo doesn't think he'll retire early; he'll probably remain in the Hokage position until the very last moment of his life!

Only in this way can one become an excellent Hokage!

In other words, as long as he is alive, Hiruzen cannot become Hokage.

"I hope you will become an excellent Hokage in the future," Renye said sincerely.

In the original story, Danzo, the "King of Pots," committed a series of acts that harmed the village because he was unable to realize his dream for a long time.

He didn't want Danzo to turn into a monster like the King of the Pot.

If a single Root leader can make Konoha a mess, what will happen if he becomes Hokage in the future?

Wang Guowang had just become Hokage and hadn't even had a chance to make his mark. He simply attended a meeting before being forced to confront Wang Erzhuzi. Due to the pressure exerted by Obito, he ultimately died in frustration after sealing a bridge.

"Hmph, I don't need your reminder." Danzo clenched his fist. "Once I become Hokage, I will definitely govern the village diligently and lead it to prosperity!"

Not only that, he also wants to develop the village into the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world!

"Mmm." Lian Ye nodded.

Danzo is now a very ambitious young man, but if he hadn't become Hokage, he would definitely have turned evil just like in the original story.

It might even be more extreme and terrifying than in the original story.

the more you hope, the harder you fall.

If he hadn't become Hokage as he wished, wouldn't he have turned evil on the spot?

Let's just hope this guy can become Hokage as he wishes.

Chapter 308 I'm not pretending anymore, I'm a billionaire, I'm coming clean!

"Uncle, who performed better, Hiruzen or Danzo?"

In the Hokage's office, Lianye placed the nourishing medicinal food on the desk and asked.

He had a good relationship with Danzo, and he needed to know his friend's impression and performance in Tobirama Senju's mind, so he could at least roughly know the probability of Danzo becoming Hokage.

"Danzo told you?" Tobirama Senju scooped up a bowl of medicinal food, his gaze involuntarily falling on the nourishing dish.

He subconsciously swallowed, the smell of which was very appetizing.

After half a year, I can finally enjoy the delicious food made by Lianye.

It wasn't easy, it really wasn't easy!

"Uncle, I'm asking you a question." Renye rolled her eyes in annoyance when she saw that Tobirama Senju's attention was entirely on the medicinal food.

Eat, eat, eat, just eat!

He still doesn't know how high the probability is that Danzo will become Hokage.

If they don't perform well, they'll have to think of another way. In any case, they can't let their teammate Danzo become the scapegoat of Konoha!

"Hmm, Danzo has been doing quite well lately." Senju Tobirama realized he had lost his composure and coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.

Lian Ye: "..."

"Not bad," what an official statement!

It's as good as saying nothing at all; such words can only fool that fool Danzo.

As Tobirama Senju finished speaking, he was about to pick up the spoon on the table when Renya snatched it away with lightning speed.

"Stop eating yet." Lianye shook the spoon in her hand. "Since Danzo performed well, how about Hiruzen's performance?"

You want to eat without explaining things clearly? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Tobirama Senju placed the bowl on the table and glanced helplessly at Renya. This kid has really grown up; he's not as easy to fool as he was when he was a child.

In fact, it's not that Lian Ye has grown up, but rather that Lian Ye's wings have hardened.

"Hiruzen's performance was also quite good."

Lian Ye's lips twitched, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Good heavens! Just as I suspected, this old guy is spouting nonsense literature again.

Both Hiruzen and Danzo performed well, so the question is—

Who will become the Third Hokage?!

"So?" Renya looked directly at Tobirama Senju. "Uncle, who do you plan to appoint as Hokage?"

To be honest, he and Danzo had been teammates for over ten years, so naturally he hoped that Danzo could get what he wanted.

But the final decision rests with Tobirama Senju; that old man will definitely choose the more suitable person to become Hokage.

As everyone knows, a qualified successor is of utmost importance... as to whether it is Hiruzen or Danzo, remains to be seen.

Tobirama Senju's gaze fell on the spoon in Renya's hand, but quickly returned to Renya's serious face.

It seems this kid won't eat until he gets an answer.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "They all achieved good results in my assessment, but I haven't finalized my selection yet."

In other words, even Tobirama Senju himself didn't know.

Judging from their current performances, they are evenly matched, and further observation from all angles is needed.

"Tsk, uncle, you're so slow at doing things," Lian Ye said with dissatisfaction.

He's been away from the village for more than half a year, and that old rascal still hasn't chosen a successor. He's really useless!

Although we don't know the final outcome, at least we know that Danzo still has a chance to become Hokage...

"Boy, give me the spoon, the medicinal food is getting cold." Tobirama Senju looked at the food in the bowl and couldn't help but ask for a spoon.

He can't eat without a spoon, and he can't exactly drink from a bowl, can he?

That would be too inappropriate.

"Here, take this." Renya returned the spoon to Senju Tobirama, then pulled up a chair and sat down opposite him at the table.

The documents on the table were still piled up like a mountain, seemingly even thicker than before he left.

"I'm dealing with documents all day long. I really don't know what the point of the Hokage position is," Lian Ye said, picking up a document she had already reviewed.
