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

Two grown men living deep in the mountains are completely unable to take care of themselves.

Why not go back to the village to retire...

As for Madara Uchiha's plan, she didn't care; she just wanted Hashirama to leave.

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow, pretending not to have heard Mito's words.

Whether Hashirama left or not was unimportant to Madara.

Yeah, it's really not important...

“Mito…” Hashirama Senju’s expression was complicated.

He glanced at his close friend who was resting with his eyes closed, then at his wife who looked worried, and finally made up his mind.

“I’m sorry, Mito,” Hashirama said seriously, “I can’t leave yet.”

He wants to stop Madara from achieving his "Eye of the Moon" plan, even if the chances of success are extremely slim...

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's lips curled into a smile.

This guy just doesn't want to leave, what can he do?

Renya sighed silently, wondering what the point of Uncle Hashirama's insistence was.

Lord Madara would never give up the "Eye of the Moon" plan under any circumstances.

Hashirama's attempts to dissuade him were to no avail; he might as well return to the village to retire.

I'll leave the task of stopping Lord Madara to me in the future!

All I can say is that Uncle Hashirama is a really nice guy; he's the kind of person who can forgive someone even if they stab him in the back.

Forced to leave his family in order to stop his best friend.

To others, Hashirama Senju was a rare saint, but from Mito Uzumaki's perspective, it was quite disheartening.

The husband was having an affair with his best friend and was willing to abandon his wife and children for the sake of friendship.

This is definitely the behavior of a scumbag...

Actually, Aunt Mito's personality is quite good; if it were anyone else, they would have ignored Uncle Hashirama long ago.

Mito Uzumaki looked at Hashirama Senju, her gentle eyes now filled with loss and pain.

She remained silent for a moment, and finally just sighed softly.

"I understand." Her voice remained calm, and she even tried to force a smile, but it sounded somewhat forced. "Take care of yourself, Hashirama."

There's really no way to deal with a husband like that.

She has no choice but to follow her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog.

Since it was her husband's choice, she had no choice but to respect it.

Hopefully, Hashirama can return to the village and spend the rest of her days with her before she dies.

“Mito…” Hashirama looked guilty.

He knew he was betraying his wife, but he had no choice but to do so for the sake of peace in the ninja world.

He hopes his wife can understand him.

"Kid, come with me... and deal with the wild boar." Madara Uchiha opened his eyes and said softly.

He doesn't like being a third wheel here.

It would be better to find an excuse to leave, so as to avoid Mito's disdain.

"Yes, Lord Ban."

Lianye also didn't want to stay here, so she quickly picked up the wild boar on the ground and followed Ban away.

"Uncle Hashirama, Aunt Mito, let's go prepare the ingredients first."

Only Hashirama and Mito remained in the cave, along with a fat cat that loved to watch the show.

Beside the stream.

"Kid, aren't you planning to find a girlfriend?" Madara Uchiha crossed his arms and looked at Renya, who was gutting a wild boar. "You're not getting any younger."

"Forget it, Lord Madara." Renya shook her head. "Just look at Hashirama's expression and you'll know."

If you don't get married, you only have one problem: not getting married. But once you get married, the problems become countless.

Madara Uchiha nodded in deep agreement, "That makes sense."

Having a family means having more and more things to consider, and you become more constrained in doing things.

Take him, for example; he's still single in his sixties.

I can do whatever I want, and no one can stop me.

He had no objection to Lian Ye's decision not to start a family.

True strength lies in not seeking marriage!

As for Hashirama? He's no longer considered a strongman!

The fact that neither of the two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan members in the Uchiha clan have any plans to get married proves anything, doesn't it?

This means that if you want to open your eyes, you can't get married!

"Lord Ban, didn't we agree to deal with the wild boar together?" Lianye couldn't help but mutter, "Don't just stand by and watch!"

The cunning Uchiha Madara!

He tricked himself into coming out, but he just watched from the sidelines.

Madara Uchiha's lips twitched, and he reluctantly stepped forward to help process the wild boar meat.

Ever since this kid awakened his kaleidoscope, his personality has changed somewhat. Before, Lian Ye wouldn't have dared to order him around at all…

It can only be said that the pain experienced when one's eyes are opened can indeed change the person's personality.

But this is something that cannot be avoided.

After all, only strong emotions have a chance of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The two of them worked together and quickly dealt with the wild boar.

But Madara Uchiha didn't rush to leave. Instead, he sat by the stream and chatted idly with Renya.

"Kid, how's life in Konoha?"

"Is Tobirama still alive?"

Do you think wild boar meat tastes better braised or roasted?

Lian Ye: "..."

He finally saw it.

Lord Madara is afraid to appear in front of Aunt Mito!

That makes sense. With Uncle Hashirama always by Madara's side, it would be strange if Aunt Mito gave him a kind look.

Perhaps this is not the first time something like this has happened.

This may have happened as early as when Konoha was first established...

"Lord Madara, we should go back now." Seeing that it was getting dark, Ren Ye had no choice but to interrupt Uchiha Madara.

Ban was afraid of Aunt Mito, but he wasn't.

Rather than feeding mosquitoes by the river, I'd rather go back to the cave and be a third wheel.

Besides, it's dinner time now, and he still needs to spend time cooking later.

It goes without saying that Lianye is the one who will definitely do the cooking.

I've been their cook for quite some time now.

Uchiha Madara: "..."

After a moment of silence, he reluctantly stood up and walked towards the cave.

Isn't she Hashirama's wife?

What did Madara Uchiha have to fear?!

Inside the cave.

When the two returned, the atmosphere between Hashirama and Mito had eased somewhat.

"Renya, you're back?" Mito asked with a smile, completely ignoring Madara who was walking at the front.

Madara Uchiha didn't speak, but leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Hashirama could only awkwardly scratch his head, not daring to say a word.

His wife disliked his best friend, so he had no choice but to pretend he didn't see it.

He didn't want to offend either side...

"The wild boar is ready, Aunt Mito, just wait for your meal." Renya said, setting up a grill inside the cave to roast the wild boar meat.

The atmosphere inside the cave instantly became quiet.

Only the Nine-Tails sealed within Mito's body continued to roar.

"Damn Uchiha Madara, damn Senju Hashirama!"

"Damn woman, let me out of here!"

"I'm going to kill you all!"

Chapter 353 Capturing the Tailed Beast

Mito Uzumaki did not stay long; after dinner, she took her leave.

Her purpose in coming here was simply to see Hashirama and, incidentally, persuade him to go back with her.

Since Hashirama was unwilling, she had no choice but to leave alone.

"Mito, I'll take you back." Hashirama, unusually displaying his high emotional intelligence, took the initiative to escort Mito back to the village.

I'm worried that my wife might be in danger on the way back...

Although there are few people in the current ninja world who can harm the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Hashirama is still worried about Mito going back alone.

The journey is long and uncertain.

Mito Uzumaki did not refuse Hashirama's company, and the two left together under the cover of night.

Only Renya and Uchiha Madara remained inside the cave.

"Tsk, it's rare to see Uncle Hashirama suddenly become so intelligent!" Renya remarked, watching the two figures disappear into the distance.

He thought Uncle Hashirama would just say "Be careful on your way" and then watch Aunt Mito leave.

Madara Uchiha munched on some grilled meat. "With Hashirama gone, his bed is just the right size for you."

It's a good thing for him that Hashirama is leaving for the time being.

This is a good time to discuss the specific implementation plan for "Eye of the Moon" with Lianye.

There's no need to worry about Hashirama causing trouble behind the scenes.

Although Hashirama had lived with him for over ten years, he never let his guard down.

No one can stop him from realizing his ideal of peace in the ninja world!

—Including his closest friends!

"Renya, can you feel it?" Madara Uchiha suddenly asked out of the blue, "The falsehood and suffering of this world."

Darkness and despair lurking beneath the surface of a false peace.

Relatives turn against each other, close friends turn against each other, and trust collapses.

Since people cannot truly understand each other, suffering and war will never disappear.

These are all things he has witnessed with his own eyes over the years!

Lianye, who was enjoying her barbecue, was stunned when she heard this.
