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

He looked at Lianye suspiciously, only to see her scratch her head awkwardly and say with a dry laugh, "Aunt Mito, he wanted to drink juice as soon as he arrived. Drinking this kind of thing can affect a child's development."

He didn't allow Nawaki to drink beverages, but he simply followed Aunt Mito's suggestion.

As for children who like to cry, a good beating will do the trick; we can't let them develop a habit of crying at such a young age.

But he couldn't bring himself to hit a child, so he had to find another way to annoy Nawaki.

Naughty children need to be properly disciplined!

"Grandma, Uncle Renye is bad!" Rope Tree broke free from Hiruzen's embrace and ran over to hug his grandmother's leg tightly.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease; this saying applies to most children.

"Nawaki, don't cry." Mito Uzumaki gently patted Nawaki's back, making no mention of the juice.

She was well aware that her grandson was quite cunning.

Rope Tree realized that she couldn't get juice by playing the victim in front of her grandmother, so she gradually stopped crying.

If he's crying and still doesn't get juice, then what's the point of him crying?

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "???"

I never imagined I'd been used as a pawn by a little brat. Sigh, my own Shinnosuke is so much more obedient and adorable.

Danzo glanced at Renya silently, and could only say that this guy was indeed a seasoned veteran.

If it were him, he probably would have had no choice but to give the juice to Rope Tree.

Kids really are the most troublesome creatures!

"Slurp—" Lianye took out another glass of juice in front of Shengshu, took a big sip, and then showed a satisfied expression.

Lying around all day, bullying little kids along the way, what a wonderful life!

"Waaaaah—" Rope Tree was still just a child, how could he bear to see such a scene? The tears he had just stopped flowed out like a flood bursting its banks.

Not only did they refuse to give him a drink, but they also showed it off in front of him.

Uncle Lianye is a big bad guy!

Hiruzen, Danzo, and Mito: "..."

"We're going back first." Mito Uzumaki rolled her eyes at him, then left with Nawaki in her arms.

She feared that if she stayed any longer, Lian Ye might do something even more outrageous.

"Renya, how could you bully a child?" Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but say, "Nawaki is so cute, how can you bear to bully him?"

"Tch, I'm being kind by not bullying your Shinnosuke." Renya curled her lip in disdain. "You'd better not meddle in other people's business, or I'll come to your house to play with Shinnosuke."

He's been staying home all day doing nothing, he's so bored he's practically rolling on the floor.

Bullying Nawaki is part of his daily entertainment, and Hiruzen even dares to stand up and grumble.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately shut up, knowing that Renya's bored nature meant she was capable of bullying Shinnosuke.

In the village nowadays, only Lianye can lie at home all day, and it's normal for her to do whatever she wants when she has nothing to do.

"You can leave now if you're all done." Lian Ye yawned. "I want to sleep."

"You're useless." Danzo looked at his friend with disappointment.

Since returning from her trip to Lianye, she has been living a life of idleness for three years.

What he disliked most was Lianye's relaxed attitude. When he became Hokage, he arranged for Lianye to go out and carry out dangerous missions every day.

At such a young age, he's already giving up and lying low. If he continues like this, he'll really be ruined!

"If I don't sleep, what am I supposed to do?" Lian Ye yawned again. "I've trained hard for decades to finally become stronger, can't I even enjoy life?"

If the purpose of becoming stronger isn't to enjoy life, then what's the point of cultivating at all!

I can't be like Tobirama Senju, sitting in the office every day, miserable processing documents, can I?

If we really want him to live that kind of life, it would be better to implement the "Eye of the Moon" plan together with Uchiha Madara.

After all, there's no need for tedious paperwork in the illusion world...

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to argue with you!" Danzo turned and left. Once he became Hokage, Renye's lazy life would come to an end!

"Renya, let's go back." Hiruzen greeted them.

A member of the underworld wearing an animal mask suddenly appeared at the gate, his voice low and menacing through the mask.

"The three of you, the Hokage is looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Lian Ye looked puzzled. "What does Uncle want with me?"

Didn't I deliver the food on time at noon? Logically speaking, this old man should only contact me during mealtimes.

He looked at Hiruzen and Danzo. Could it be that the test results were out?

Yes, very likely!

Hiruzen and Danzo looked excited; their teacher's summons must mean the final result was coming.

Who will become Hokage will soon be revealed!

Hokage's office.

Senju Tobirama stared at the thick stack of documents on the table, lost in thought.

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

"Uncle, what do you want with me?" Lian Ye shouted before even entering the room. "Don't you know it's lunch break?"

As he spoke, he pulled up a chair and sat down.

This old bastard not only doesn't want to rest himself, but he also won't let him rest. He's really awful!

No wonder he's a born evil Thousand-Handed Demon!

"Hello teacher."

Hiruzen and Danzo dared not act recklessly and politely greeted each other.

The two of them couldn't hide their anticipation; the success or failure of their three-year assessment hinged on this moment!

Who will ultimately emerge victorious and take the position of Hokage?!

"You've arrived." Tobirama Senju looked at the three of them, his gaze briefly lingering on Renya, who was yawning incessantly, before quickly looking away.

This kid's condition is getting more and more serious...

"I wonder what brings you here, Master?" Danzo asked, his voice trembling as he tried to suppress his excitement.

"Just as you expected," Tobirama Senju said softly, as he was about to inform the two of the final test results.

Upon hearing this, the two men breathed heavily and nervously clenched their sleeves.

The three-year evaluation period is over, and we'll know the results soon!

The position of Hokage is the ultimate dream of every Konoha ninja, except for that particular Uchiha with the surname Senju...

Upon hearing this, Lianye was no longer sleepy. He wanted to know who Senju Tobirama had chosen to become Hokage.

He had a good relationship with Danzo, so naturally he hoped that Danzo could become Hokage.

In this way, the King of Konoha's Pot will not appear.

If Danzo is unfortunately not selected, I can only try my best to guide him away from going down the path of darkness.

Looking at the three expectant faces, Tobirama Senju remained silent for a moment before announcing the final results of the assessment.

"I declare..."

Chapter 311: Just pick anyone to be Hokage? ??

The Hokage's office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The three held their breath, straining their ears to get the answer from Tobirama Senju.

"I hereby declare the three-year assessment over—Danzo, you have passed the assessment."

Danzo Shimura's pupils suddenly contracted, his knuckles clenched until they turned white, and a slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, which he forcibly suppressed. His body trembled with excitement.

He passed the test! He'll soon be able to become Hokage, just like he always dreamed of!

My long-held dream is about to come true; the scenes from the Sharingan genjutsu will soon become reality...

His decades-long dream had finally come true. If Tobirama-sensei hadn't been there, he would have burst into laughter.

Hiruzen, standing beside him, froze, his eyelashes drooping, and his Adam's apple bobbing silently.

He didn't say anything, just stood there quietly. Although he had long been mentally prepared to be rejected, he still felt disappointed and sad when he actually heard the result.

The position of Hokage will ultimately be out of my reach.

"Danzo, congratulations!" Hiruzen forced a smile. "I believe you can become an excellent Hokage."

Although he did not become Hokage as he wished, he still sincerely offered his blessings to his friend.

The two have always been best friends, and this matter shouldn't affect their friendship.

"Yes, I appreciate your kind words." Danzo nodded excitedly.

He had no intention of mocking Hiruzen; they were both about to become Hokage, so he couldn't do anything that would lower his status.

Whether Hiruzen's congratulations were sincere or not, he could accept them with pleasure!

To become an excellent Hokage, a broad mind is essential. Only someone with such a mind can lead the village to prosperity.

Renya sat in the chair, her gaze shifting between the two, finally settling on Tobirama Senju's gratified face.

This old bastard only said that Danzo passed the test, but didn't say whether Hiruzen passed the test.

After all, passing the exam and becoming Hokage are two different things. This old guy never said that passing the exam would make him Hokage.

Tsk, as expected of Tobirama Senju, who was born evil!

The silence lasted for a few seconds until Tobirama Senju spoke again, "Hiruzen, you have also passed the test."

Renya wore an "I knew it" expression and sighed helplessly. He knew things weren't that simple; Tobirama Senju really knew how to manipulate people's minds!

It's fortunate that Danzo wasn't an Uchiha, otherwise he definitely would have been able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Danzo's smile froze instantly.

What, are you kidding me?!

On the other hand, Hiruzen showed a bright smile.

Haha, it turns out I passed the test too. I thought I had no chance at all.

"Sorry, Danzo." Hiruzen's lips curled up. "So I passed the teacher's test as well."

"Heh, congratulations." Danzo's expression was even uglier than if his mother had died.

I originally thought I could become Hokage directly, but it seems there are still tests ahead.

Tobirama Senju observed their actions but said nothing.

"Uncle, they've all passed the test, so who will become the Hokage?" Lianye asked, voicing the question that had been on their minds.

"You brat, do you really want me to retire?" Tobirama Senju glared at him irritably.

“Working on documents day and night, your health will suffer sooner or later.” Lian Ye spread her hands. “Why not retire early and let the younger generation take over the village affairs?”

This old man is already fifty years old, and his physical condition is no longer what it was more than ten years ago.

Young people are at the peak of their physical function, making them perfect for being workhorses.

Senju Tobirama did not refute this, of course he knew that Renya was concerned about his health.

However, he has never been able to make up his mind about choosing an heir. What if he accidentally chooses the wrong person and causes losses to the village?

It's fine now, but in a few decades, he won't be able to manage the village for his elder brother anymore.

Ninjas have experienced countless battles and suffered numerous injuries, some of which were not a problem when they were young. However, as they grow older, these hidden injuries begin to appear one after another.

This made the already declining situation even more serious...

The profession of ninja is one that relies on youth; once you get older, you can only retire and enjoy your old age. However, the vast majority of ninjas die young and never have the chance to retire.
