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

"Kid, just give up." The clones all said in unison.

"Shut up." Lian Ye was a little annoyed.

He began to observe carefully, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a shadowy figure moving behind the crowd.

The moment the shadow clone moved, the kunai in Lian Ye's hand shot out swiftly.

"Could it be the real body?" Lian Ye murmured softly.

Under Lian Ye's expectant gaze, the clone turned into white smoke and dissipated.

Seeing this, he was not discouraged and showed an expression of "I knew it."

Tobirama Senju would never make such a basic mistake unless someone was trying to trick him.

But he dared not gamble; what if it really was the original body?

"Kid, you have one last chance!"

"I know……"

Before he finished speaking, all the shadow clones launched their attacks simultaneously.

Facing the eighteen shadow clones, Lian Ye's lips curled up slightly.

"You offered this to me willingly, so don't blame me."

Lian Ye leaped into the air, forming hand seals, and unleashed the "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A raging fire swept across the training ground, and eighteen shadow clones appeared and disappeared in the sea of ​​flames.

Just as the flames were about to go out, Lianye suddenly rushed to the northwest corner, her kunai aimed directly at the figure.

Senju Tobirama reached out and blocked Renya's attack, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Not bad, you can identify the original body from the residual chakra. It seems you've improved."

Although he deliberately gave Lian Ye a chance, it was not an easy opportunity to seize.

Renya's ability to discover the true form was indeed beyond Tobirama Senju's expectations.

Lian Ye let out a long sigh of relief, her tense nerves finally relaxing, and she plopped down on the ground.

Lian Ye both loved and hated the training every morning.

That old bastard Tobirama Senju is really pushing him to the limit...

Sometimes the two would spar, and Tobirama Senju would show no mercy, beating him half to death before calling in a medical ninja to treat him.

Lian Ye felt that the old man was doing it on purpose, just looking for an excuse to beat him up...

Although the training was tough, the progress was truly remarkable.

Renya's current strength has surpassed that of an average genin.

I believe it won't be long before I can realize my dream of beating up the King of Fighters and kicking Hiruzen.

Just as Renya was dreaming about the future, Tobirama Senju pulled out his report card with a gloomy expression.

"Uchiha Renya, tell me, how did you achieve this score?"

Lian Ye looked at the 5-point test paper and scratched her head awkwardly, "Haha, uncle, let me explain..."

"You damned Uchiha brat, you haven't learned a single thing!" Tobirama Senju roared.

"Uncle, don't slander me, I learned it," Lian Ye said sheepishly.

Well, flipping through a few pages before the exam counts as studying, right?

Even though you haven't studied for very long, just tell me whether you've studied at all!

He did his best, what can be done if he didn't do well on the exam?

"If I do this again next time, I'll do it myself..."

Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes and gripped the middle of the kunai with two fingers.

"Snap!" The kunai broke in response!

Lian Ye swallowed nervously and said, "Uncle, calm down, it's not that serious."

Tobirama Senju remained silent, staring at Renya with an unfriendly gaze, clearly not joking.

If Lian Ye gets such a shameful score again, he will definitely not show any mercy!

Such a simple test paper—if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that anyone could get a 5!

Seriously, can someone who gets a score of 5 even be considered human?

The more Tobirama Senju thought about it, the angrier he became, and a powerful killing intent erupted from his body.

This was the second time Renya had faced Tobirama Senju's killing intent, which almost made him breathless.

Is this the oppressive aura of a Kage-level powerhouse?

If he hadn't been sitting on the ground, he probably would have been forced to his knees.

"Uncle... I'll try to pass next time, please... please calm down."

Having received Renya's assurance, Tobirama Senju snorted coldly and suppressed his killing intent.

"Kid, don't do it again!" Tobirama Senju tossed the exam paper to Renya and turned to leave.

Today's instruction is over, but he still has to busy himself with taking on disciples.

He needs to cultivate a group of geniuses with the Will of Fire for Konoha Village to become the village's high-end combat force.

These geniuses must be taught by him personally.

As for Lian Ye, forget about her...

Tobirama Senju did not expect someone who scored 5 on a cultural exam to inherit the Will of Fire.

He even seriously suspected that Lian Ye didn't even know what the Will of Fire was...

He didn't have high expectations for Lianye; he just wanted her to not do anything that would harm the village.

Although Lian Ye's character is currently good, he hasn't opened his eyes yet, so we'll have to wait until he does to observe him further.

Based on Tobirama Senju's understanding of the Uchiha clan, it is generally believed that Uchiha clan members undergo some personality changes after awakening the Sharingan.

He couldn't predict what Lian Ye's personality would be like in the future, but he could do his best to guide him onto the right path.

"Kid, don't let me down..."

Chapter Thirty-Four: Sarutobi's Future

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, old man."

Renya watched Tobirama Senju's departing figure and murmured softly.

Since he began to be instructed by Tobirama Senju, he could clearly feel that the other party was consciously or unconsciously instilling in him the idea of ​​loving the village.

If it were an ordinary child, they would be subtly influenced.

But Lian Ye is different. He has lived two lives, and his values ​​have long been formed and are difficult to change.

Tobirama Senju had been subtly telling Renya that for the sake of Konoha, one could even give up one's life if necessary.

The safety of the village is paramount, including one's own life.

But Lianye didn't think so. After all, he was an "outsider" and didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the village and his family.

In his view, the most important thing was that he himself was alive.

He constantly strives to become stronger so that he can survive the future Ninja Wars.

Lian Ye stood up, gazed into the distance, and said softly, "If I become strong enough in the future, I wouldn't mind helping you protect the village..."

There's a saying that goes: "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven."

If you have the ability, you're naturally willing to help.

If you lack the ability, taking good care of yourself is more important than anything else.

Lian Ye continued her arduous training. Becoming stronger is a very long process; unless you're a cheater, it can take years or even decades.

--------

The land of the Sarutobi tribe.

The Sarutobi clan joined Konoha during its early days and can be considered one of the village's founding families.

The clan is likely to produce ninjas who are proficient in all five elemental ninjutsu, making them powerful fighters. This was a key reason why Hashirama Senju valued and invited them to join the clan.

At this moment, Sarutobi Sasuke, the current head of the Sarutobi clan, was flushed with excitement.

The reason was simple: Tobirama Senju, the younger brother of the First Hokage and the one with the best chance of becoming the Second Hokage, had come to visit his house!

"Lord Tobirama, may I ask what brings you here today?" Sarutobi Sasuke asked cautiously.

Over the years, Tobirama Senju only visited once, when the Sarutobi clan joined Konoha, along with his older brother.

As the saying goes, one does not visit the temple unless he has something to ask for.

Now that Tobirama Senju has arrived, he must have something important to announce.

Sarutobi Sasuke unconsciously rubbed his fingertips together, trying to figure out Tobirama's intentions.

Tobirama Senju's personality and style of doing things are very different from his older brother Hashirama Senju.

You must be very careful when talking to this kind of person. It's best not to try to guess what they're thinking, as you're likely to get taken advantage of that...

Sarutobi Sasuke abandoned his attempt to figure out Tobirama Senju's thoughts.

Instead of answering immediately, Tobirama Senju picked up the black tea on the table and slowly began to sip it.

Sarutobi Sasuke wasn't in a hurry; he just watched quietly.

After a long while, Tobirama Senju put down his teacup.

Sarutobi Sasuke's expression froze upon seeing this.

Coming?

What exactly was the purpose of his visit?

"Clan Chief Sasuke, I wish to have your son become my disciple. Would you be willing?"

Sarutobi Sasuke's expression changed from tension to shock, then to surprise, and finally to excitement.

"You...you really want to take my son as your disciple?" His voice was hoarse, and his hands trembled involuntarily.

Isn't he dreaming?

Lord Tobirama actually wants to take Hiruzen as his disciple!

Given Tobirama Senju's prestige in Konoha, becoming the Second Hokage was a foregone conclusion.

In this way, Hiruzen had a Hokage teacher as a backer.

When I retire and Hiruzen becomes the clan leader, which clan in Konoha will dare to disrespect the Sarutobi clan?

Under Hiruzen's leadership, the family's status will definitely rise.

Perhaps in the future, the Sarutobi clan could become a great clan like the Senju and Uchiha!

Sarutobi Sasuke became more and more excited as he thought about it, and almost fainted from happiness.

Don't underestimate this seemingly simple disciple-acceptance ceremony; there's a lot more involved than meets the eye.

Tobirama Senju nodded: "Hiruzen Sarutobi is a very good child. I believe that with my guidance, he will definitely become an excellent ninja."

"I thank Lord Tobirama on behalf of my son!" Sarutobi Sasuke bowed deeply, his eyes gleaming.

Whether the Sarutobi clan can rise to power depends on you, Hiruzen!

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally arrived late.

He was training when he learned that Lord Tobirama wanted to take him as a disciple, so he rushed over without stopping.

Senju Tobirama noticed the training marks on Hiruzen's body and nodded almost imperceptibly. "Sarutobi Hiruzen, would you like to become my disciple?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, breathing heavily, quickly replied:

"Yes, I'd love to!"
