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

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura's face turned deathly pale.

He couldn't believe how desperate he would be if he hadn't been selected!

Especially watching Hiruzen be taken in as a disciple by Tobirama-sama.

Just thinking about that scene made him feel breathless.

Danzo Shimura prayed silently, hoping that he could catch the eye of Lord Tobirama!

Seeing Danzo's face turn pale and then red, Renya felt extremely pleased.

For some reason, the sadder Danzo was, the happier he became.

As for Tobirama Senju taking on disciples, Renya had no particular interest in it.

He had received a lot of guidance from Tobirama Senju, so he could be considered Tobirama's half-disciple.

After meal.

Each of them, preoccupied with their own thoughts, returned to their respective homes.

--------

Sungai tribe.

As soon as Hinata Yuuki arrived at the entrance of the clan's territory, he saw a dignified middle-aged man standing at the gate.

The middle-aged man, his face grim, coldly demanded, "Where have you been?"

Hyuga Yuuki kept his head down and remained silent.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, he just watched quietly.

After a long while, Hinata Yuuki raised his head and said, "Father, I went out to eat with my classmates."

"What's wrong? Is the food at home not good?"

"No……"

"Then why did you go out to eat!"

"Father, I know I was wrong."

"Considering this is your first offense, you'll have to do a thousand rounds of gentle punches before dinner. You won't be allowed to eat until you finish!"

"Yes, father!"

--------

The Tobirama Senju residence.

When Renya returned home, she did not see Tobirama Senju.

That old bastard is probably hiding somewhere again, tinkering with forbidden techniques.

He began his practice for the day.

Lian Ye's talent is not bad; as long as she cultivates diligently...

They will still be able to protect themselves in future ninja wars, and won't be used as cannon fodder to be killed.

He has never had any lofty ambitions; his goal in becoming stronger was simply to survive.

That's it.

Lianye has a clear understanding of her own position.

He wasn't an overpowered character like Naruto and Sasuke, nor was he fooled by the Will of Fire to the point of losing his way.

They can't even shout "Will of Fire" without getting carried away and rushing in to their deaths...

night.

Tobirama Senju returned with his hair all messy.

He hasn't slept since last night, spending all his time researching the origins of the Senju and Uchiha clans, but unfortunately, he's made no progress.

Seeing Tobirama Senju's appearance, Renya became even more certain that the old man was secretly practicing forbidden techniques.

Shouldn't we start researching the Impure World Reincarnation technique around this time?

"Hey kid, how did the exam go?"

He saw that Lianye had been studying before the exam, so her results should be pretty good this time, right?

These are basic questions; you can figure them out after just a couple of glances...

"Haha, not bad, not bad." Lian Ye chuckled.

Tobirama Senju didn't delve into the matter further. After a simple dinner, he returned to his study to continue his research.

Lian Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily, that old man didn't press the matter further."

Unfortunately, being fifth from the bottom is really embarrassing!

"Academic subjects are my weakness, and I must catch up this summer!"

Without hesitation, Lianye took out her books and began to study diligently.

"I will work hard for thirty days to become the top student in my grade!"

five minutes later.

Lianye closed the book expressionlessly. "Actually, all a ninja needs is strength; academic subjects aren't that useful..."

Didn't you see that Naruto Uzumaki doesn't even know what the term "rabble" means?

This also shows that academic achievements are not important in the ninja world.

"Well, it's not that I can't learn it, it's just that there's no need to learn it," Lian Ye comforted herself.

"sleep!"

"The feeling of knowledge entering the brain is truly fascinating..."

Lianye recalled the knowledge she had just learned in her mind.

Well, empty.

Although he didn't absorb the information, it didn't stop him from falling asleep.

study.

Tobirama Senju searched through all sorts of books in the ninja world and actually found relevant records.

He brushed away the dust from the last page of the ancient book, and a faded mural was faintly visible between the yellowed pages.

In the image, an elderly man holding a scepter is suspended in mid-air.

At his feet, two boys knelt on either side.

The boy on the left is dressed in a vine pattern.

The boy's right eye rippled with crimson light.

The text annotation is slightly raised at the edge of the mural: "Indra and Asura, twin sons of the six sages."

According to the records, Indra inherited powerful eye techniques and combat talent, but fell into darkness due to his obsession.

Ashura, on the other hand, cultivates Wood Release with a heart full of love, using the power of healing to protect all living beings.

“Eye technique… Wood Release…” Tobirama Senju murmured to himself.

Although the records above were vague, he knew that this was the origin of the Uchiha and Senju clans.

The ancestors of the Senju and Uchiha clans were actually descendants of the Sage of Six Paths!

He speculated that the conflict between Indra and Ashura stemmed from their differing beliefs, which led to the war between the Uchiha and Senju clans that lasted for thousands of years.

Tobirama Senju was looking for more information to confirm this.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of the final exam report card on the table out of the corner of his eye.

He had Senju Takuma deliver this; he was busy researching and hadn't had time to look at it yet.

So, Tobirama Senju opened the report card.

[First Place: Hiruzen Sarutobi]

Second Place: Hinata Hiroki

Third Place: Uchiha Kagami

Fourth place: Mitokado bouts of inflammation

[Fifth place: Shimura Danzo]

Tobirama Senju nodded in satisfaction. These were the future of Konoha!

"Wait, where's that brat's name?"

He began searching for Lian Ye's name and finally found it in the sixth-to-last position.

"A perfect score in the practical assessment, how come you're still ranked last?"

He was puzzled until he saw Lianye's theoretical achievements.

Tobirama Senju: "???"

Chapter Thirty-Three: Don't Let Me Down

The darkness before dawn had not yet faded, and a thin layer of frost clung to the bluestone of the training ground.

“Remember, brat,” Tobirama Senju’s voice was deep, “A true ninja ends the battle before the enemy even realizes it.”

He flicked his fingers, and three shuriken shot out in a triangular formation, landing precisely on the bullseye in the distance.

Lian Ye was completely focused on capturing every detail.

His long black hair was still damp with dew, and his pale face was filled with solemnity.

When Tobirama Senju suddenly closed in, he almost instinctively leaned back, and a kunai flew past his nose.

Tobirama Senju withdrew his hand, his robes fluttering in the wind. "In battle, the enemy won't give you a second chance."

He raised his hand to form a hand seal, and dozens of shadow clones surrounded the training ground.

Lian Ye's pupils contracted slightly, and her eyes darted around rapidly, trying to find her true self among the clones.

Sweat streamed down his face, soaking his collar.

This is one of Renya's daily training exercises, which requires her to find Tobirama Senju's true form and hone her perception.

He only has three chances to make a call...

"Kid, have you found it?" Twenty voices rang out simultaneously.

Renya carefully observed Tobirama Senju.

Some crossed their arms and looked mocking.

Some stared at him silently, their faces expressionless.

Others held kunai (a type of Japanese magic weapon) in their hands, their faces solemn.

Lian Ye looked helpless. How easy was it to find the original body among twenty clones?

Moreover, this was Tobirama Senju's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

"Kid, you should just give up!"

Lianye did not respond, but took a deep breath, trying to find a flaw in the details.

He knew that although the shadow clones had the same strength as the original body, there would always be a slight fluctuation in chakra.

By finding this subtle fluctuation, the true nature of the object can be identified.

The first shadow clone moved, thrusting straight at you with a kunai in its hand. Lianye dodged to the side, but her eyes remained fixed on the other's footsteps.

The force with which each step is taken can serve as a clue.

Lianye suddenly launched an attack, but her target was the shadow clone on the left.

However, the moment the kunai touched its opponent, the figure vanished in a puff of white smoke.

"I'm wrong," he thought to himself, beads of sweat already forming on his forehead.
