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

Madara Uchiha looked at Hashirama, who was filled with envy, with a strange expression.

Since I was able to awaken the Rinnegan, this guy should be able to too, right?

Theoretically, Hashirama could also awaken the Rinnegan if Indra and Ashura's chakra were to fuse together.

But he didn't make it public, as awakening the Rinnegan would take at least several decades.

He had already received Hashirama's cells, but he still hadn't fully awakened the Rinnegan. Even if Hashirama could awaken the Rinnegan like him, it would be a very long time coming.

Whether the weakened Hashirama could live long enough to awaken his Sharingan is another matter entirely.

It's better not to say it and give Hashirama any hope.

"Madara, can you tell me how you awakened the Rinnegan?" Hashirama looked at his best friend with envy.

They've been living, eating, and sleeping together in the cave all these years, so how did Madara awaken the Rinnegan without anyone noticing?

He must have done something behind my back that no one else knew about! He actually did such a thing without my knowledge!

What a bastard!

When asked by Hashirama, Madara shook his head, not intending to explain.

"I do not know."

Hashirama: "..."

I don't want to say anything more about being envious.

We've always lived together, how did you suddenly become so strong?

"Hashirama, go cook," Madara said softly.

"Huh? I have to cook again!" Hashirama complained, disgruntled.

If Renya were here, I wouldn't have to do things like cooking.

Having lived in the mountains for so many years, the two of them would have learned to cook long ago, even if they didn't know how.

“You’ll be doing it this week, but I’ll take over next week,” Ban said.

"Alright, I'll go out and see if there's any prey." Hashirama turned and left the cave.

Madara watched Hashirama's departing figure, then closed his eyes again, sensing the strange energy emanating from them.

Having lived in the mountains for a long time, hunting has long been a part of their daily lives.

They usually rely on hunting wild boar, deer, pheasants, and rabbits to make a living...

The two lived deep in the mountains and had lost all sense of what the world was like.

Perhaps it was just bad luck for Hashirama, as he didn't find any prey around the camp and had to go to a more distant location.

the other side.

"Renya, does Hashirama usually live in an environment like this?" Mito Uzumaki looked at the lush vegetation and desolate mountains around them and felt very distressed.

Her husband lived such a miserable life, like a primitive man.

Renya didn't know how to explain it, but if she wasn't mistaken, Uncle Hashirama and Lord Madara were probably hiding in some cave...

They were cavemen.

If Aunt Mito knew, she would be even more heartbroken.

"That's it."

He didn't want to explain too much; people would know when the time came.

Some things you can only know the truth by seeing them with your own eyes...

Seeing this, Mito Uzumaki knew that Hashirama's living conditions were even more miserable than she had imagined.

"Don't worry, Mito-sama. Hashirama-sama and Madara-sama are having a great time together, meow," Scarface reassured her with a smile.

Lian Ye: "..."

Can you say such words casually?

Renya cautiously glanced at Aunt Mito beside her.

The heartache on Mito's face had vanished, replaced by boundless rage.

Hashirama is finished.

Scarface sensed something was off and tilted his head to look at Lianye.

"Kid, did I say something wrong, meow?"

Lian Ye: "..."

Chapter 350 It's just right, this is the feeling!

"Haha, extra treat tonight!"

Hashirama Senju's hearty laughter echoed through the forest as he looked at an enormous wild boar perched on his shoulder, his face beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

He was lucky today; he encountered a wild boar as soon as he came out. The meat was enough for him and Ban to eat for several days.

I'm wondering whether grilling or stewing would make Ban more likely to like it.

Just as they emerged from the woods, they came to a stream, intending to gut the wild boar.

As a result, they ran right into Renya and Mito Uzumaki who were rushing over.

The three met and were all stunned.

"Uncle Hashirama, what are you doing here?" Renya asked curiously.

But when he saw the wild boar on his shoulder, he immediately understood—he had just run into them while out hunting.

Is it a stroke of luck or bad luck?

He subconsciously glanced at Aunt Mito, whose face was pale, and thought that Uncle Hashirama was doomed.

Blame the fat cat for bringing up the very thing he shouldn't have.

Hashirama Senju rubbed his eyes instinctively when he saw Mito and Renya suddenly appear.

I'm not dreaming, am I?

How come I saw Renya and Mito?

Yes, it must be a dream!

Mito Uzumaki's gaze first fell on her husband's hair, which was covered in grass and dust, and then slowly moved to the wild boar on his shoulder.

Her face still wore a dignified smile, but the air pressure around her was getting lower and lower.

"Hashirama," Mito's voice was still gentle, but it made the person involved stiffen, "What are you doing?"

Hashirama Senju was startled, but put on a fawning smile.

Oh no, it's not a hallucination!

"Mito, what brings you here?"

Lian Ye stared at the extremely incongruous scene before her.

The legendary ninja god resembles an African native returning from a hunt, displaying a silly and embarrassed expression in front of his wife.

He didn't know how to react for a moment, so he could only silently shift his gaze to the babbling brook beside him.

"Hashirama, aren't you going to explain?" Mito Uzumaki asked with a smile.

"Uh... this... Mito, what a coincidence, haha..." Hashirama chuckled dryly, trying to hide the wild boar behind him, but the boar's size and his movements were too conspicuous. "I thought the wild boars in these mountains were quite plump... so, so I thought I'd improve our meals..."

Mito Uzumaki's smile softened upon hearing this: "Improve the meals? Do you mean improve your meals, or improve the meals of a... 'friend'?"

She deliberately emphasized the word "friend".

Hashirama Senju's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. He wondered what was wrong with Mito.

He could only look at Lianye with pleading eyes.

But Lianye pretended not to see it, her eyes fixed on the stream.

It's best for him not to get involved in the affairs of the older generation.

Blame the fat cat!

Scar licked his paws and looked at the two men with anticipation.

It enjoys watching these kinds of family feuds.

Hehehe, this is so interesting, meow!

The stream murmured, but the atmosphere was anything but peaceful.

"You're always hanging out with Ban, can't you just go back to the village?"

Mito Uzumaki's gentle demeanor vanished instantly; her eyebrows furrowed, and she precisely grabbed Hashirama Senju's ear with one hand.

"Look at your living conditions. If I hadn't come here in person, I wouldn't have known that your living conditions were so terrible!"

She was clearly really angry.

I thought my husband's living environment was pretty good, but I never expected it to be like that of a wild man!

Even in this state, all he can think about is cooking for Madara Uchiha!

Those who don't know the situation might think that Madara is his wife.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, Mito, be gentle, be gentle..." The once-mighty ninja god was now tilting his head and begging for mercy, showing no regard for his image.

He tried to explain, "I wasn't fooling around, Ban... oh dear, I was stopping him..."

"Stop him from what?" Mito's tone was both angry and anxious. "You're already so old, yet you left the village for decades for the sake of Uchiha Madara!"

What husband would abandon his wife and children and leave his hometown for more than ten years for another man?

The poor son thought his father was dead, and the poor grandchildren thought their grandfather was dead.

The poor younger brother thought his older brother was dead!

In fact, he didn't die at all!

Lian Ye, standing to the side, was completely petrified, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

His gaze darted around, looking at the sky, the ground, and the stream, but he dared not look at the scene before him.

I didn't see anything, I really didn't see anything!

Blame the fat cat!

"But... Madara wants to destroy..." Hashirama was still trying to argue, but the pain in his ear made his words distorted.

Mito Uzumaki interrupted him, placing her other hand on her hip, exuding an aura of dominance.

"Tobirama has been so busy with government affairs these past few years, and there's been a lot of stuff piling up in the clan! And you, on the other hand, are leisurely hunting wild boars here!"

"Mito, let me explain, I really have my reasons..." Hashirama looked at his wife with pitiful eyes.

He didn't want to tell his wife about the "Eye of the Moon," but now it seemed he had no choice but to tell the truth.

Seeing her husband's serious expression, Mito barely suppressed her anger and let go of his hand, but her eyes were still glaring sternly at Hashirama.

Hashirama quickly rubbed his bright red ears, awkwardly put down the boar on his shoulder, and began to recount Madara's ambitions.

"Renya, is what he said true?" Mito looked at Renya suspiciously.

She had reason to suspect that Hashirama was just making up an excuse because he didn't want to go back to the village.

“It’s true, Aunt Mito.” Renya finally had a chance to speak.

"It's true, meow! Only Lord Madara can bring peace to the ninja world!" The fat cat excitedly raised its paw. "Lord Madara is my idol, meow!"

Mito only believed the truth of what he had said after seeing that even Fat Cat had admitted it.

"You've been following Madara only to stop him from achieving his plan..." Mito asked curiously, "After all these years, have you succeeded?"

"Not...not yet..." Hashirama scratched his head awkwardly, "but I feel like I'm close to success!"

Lianye neither confirmed nor denied this.

It's likely that even by the time Madara awakens the Rinnegan, Hashirama won't have been able to persuade him.
