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

Because Danzo and Renya were injured, their journey was slow.

Traveling at a snail's pace, it took the four of them three days to finally return to Konoha.

On the other side, Senju Tanaka, carrying the unconscious Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura under his arm, rushed towards the village.

Uchiha Kagami followed behind, and he also looked quite injured.

Senju Tanaka frowned and said, "I should have known better than to let you take on B-rank missions."

The group had been clamoring to take on a Rank B mission, so Senju Tanaka inexplicably agreed.

The objective of the mission was to eliminate two Chunin and one Genin.

How could three newly graduated genin possibly be a match for them?

Within two minutes of the exchange, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Homura Mitokado were rendered incapacitated, leaving only Kagami Uchiha struggling.

If he hadn't intervened in time, the three of them would have already gone to see their great-grandmother.

If Tobirama-sama finds out about this, he'll definitely be furious.

The two teams eventually met at the gates of Konoha.

"Tanaka, what's going on here?" Yusuke Senju raised an eyebrow.

"Ugh, don't even mention it." Senju Tanaka sighed and explained, "These kids were clamoring to do B-rank missions, but they weren't strong enough and almost got killed."

Lian Ye looked at the two seriously injured and unconscious people, and her lips twitched.

Goodness, that's a pretty serious injury!

Danzo Shimura grinned smugly.

At first, he was worried that Hiruzen's squad would perform better than them in their missions.

Seeing how disheveled they looked now made me feel much better.

"Kagami, are you alright?" Danzo rarely showed a smile.

Uchiha Kagami scratched his head awkwardly, "It's...it's alright."

When they first received the B-rank mission, the three of them even bragged about it in front of Danzo. Little did they know that they would be proven wrong so quickly.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm taking them to get treatment first."

Senju Tanaka ran towards the direction of Konoha Hospital.

Uchiha Kagami followed behind, limping.

"Haha, this is hilarious!" Danzo laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.

He thought that Hiruzen's squad was incredibly awesome for accepting a B-rank mission.

I didn't expect it to be like this?

"Hahaha...cough cough cough!"

He was laughing so hard that he accidentally aggravated his wound, and his face instantly turned pale.

Lian Ye: "..."

Is this a case of extreme joy turning into sorrow?

Yusuke Senju's lips twitched. "I'll take you to the hospital."

After receiving basic first aid at Konoha Hospital, Renya went home.

--------

The Tobirama Senju residence.

This mission, including travel time, took a total of five days.

Lianye pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.

Hearing the noise, Tobirama Senju came out of his study, the surprise in his eyes vanishing in an instant. "Kid, you're back."

During the few days that Lianye was away from home, he lost his appetite.

He discovered that Lian Ye had spoiled his appetite, and he had no appetite for other foods.

Just as Tobirama Senju was about to ask Renya to cook him a couple of dishes, he seemed to notice something and subconsciously frowned.

In his perception, the chakra around Lian Ye had changed, becoming extremely cold and inexplicably repulsive to him.

“This brat…” Tobirama Senju’s eyes flickered.

Lian Ye was somewhat bewildered. Why did this old man suddenly change his expression?

I don't think I've offended the other party, have I?

Could it be... that this guy is going through menopause?

Just as Lian Ye was completely baffled, Tobirama Senju spoke up, "Kid, have you awakened the Sharingan?"

"Uncle, how did you know?" Lian Ye was somewhat shocked.

He hadn't even told Tobirama Senju yet, and this guy already knew?

Tobirama Senju wore an expression that said, "I knew it."

Through his long-term observation of the Uchiha clan, he discovered that once a member of the Uchiha clan awakens the Sharingan, their chakra will change.

The higher the level of the Sharingan, the colder and more sinister the chakra becomes.

He particularly disliked this cold and gloomy feeling.

Generally, the colder and more sinister the chakra of an Uchiha, the more likely they are to be extreme and do dangerous things.

This is also why Tobirama Senju was always wary of the Uchiha clan.

In his view, the Uchiha clan members were all a bunch of mentally ill people, and powerful ones at that; no one knew when they might have an episode...

If these lunatics have an episode, the village will definitely be doomed!

"Kid, show me your Sharingan." Tobirama Senju stared intently into Renya's eyes.

Lianye was somewhat suspicious of the other party's purpose, but she still obediently did as she was told.

A black magatama appeared near the pupil.

The moment he opened his eyes, Tobirama Senju could clearly sense that Renya's originally peaceful chakra began to surge wildly, becoming cold and violent.

However, this chilly feeling quickly disappeared.

Tobirama Senju fell into deep thought.

What secrets are hidden in the eyes of the Uchiha clan?

Why does opening one's eyes cause a drastic change in personality?

He decided to wait until night to properly study Lianye's Sharingan.

“Alright, kid,” Tobirama Senju said.

Upon hearing this, Renye slowly closed her Sharingan.

That old guy is so weird, I don't know what he's up to.

--------

evening.

Tobirama Senju sat at the table, enjoying the dinner prepared by Renya with great satisfaction.

Sure enough, this kid's cooking is better.

A few days ago, he cooked for himself but found it hard to swallow and had no appetite at all.

Before long, all the dishes on the table were gone.

Tobirama Senju wiped his mouth, glancing at Renya's bandaged shoulder out of the corner of his eye: "Kid, I heard you guys went on a B-rank mission?"

Lian Ye nodded and replied, "The difficulty exceeded my expectations."

The scene flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern—Danzo became the team's weak point, Koharu went to heal Danzo, she fought with the strong man, and was trapped in a desperate situation...

This mission made Lianye realize that they had underestimated the difficulty of combat.

Battles between ninjas are brutal; a single misstep can lead to certain death.

He told Tobirama Senju the details of the mission.

Tobirama Senju did not blame the group for accepting the B-rank mission.

In his view, ninjas grow stronger through constant fighting.

Flowers grown in a greenhouse cannot become powerful ninjas.

Tobirama Senju nodded slightly, his fingers gently stroking the table.

"I am very satisfied with your mission this time. Only by walking on the edge of death can one truly understand the way of the ninja."

With that, Tobirama Senju got up, took his bowl and chopsticks, and headed to the kitchen.

Lian Ye sat on the sofa and picked up a novel to read.

There is no television in the current ninja world, and entertainment options are very limited.

Lianye bought some novels to pass the time.

These novels are of average quality and not as good as the works from my previous life.

When she has time in the future, Lianye could write two books.

He had read so many novels in his previous life; if he wrote two books following the same formula, he would definitely make a fortune.

It's important to know that ninja novels are mostly straightforward narratives, without any scenes of showing off, face-slapping, or the return of the Dragon King.

When it's written out, won't the residents of the ninja world stay up all night urging for more updates?

Chapter Forty-Three: You beast, submit to me!

"Little Lianye, it's been so long..."

A few months later, Renya had just returned home after completing a mission when he saw Hashirama Senju sitting in the yard, smiling and greeting him.

"Uncle Hashirama, what brings you here?" Renya asked, somewhat surprised.

As is well known, apart from the Fourth Hokage, the other Hokage of Konoha Village are all very busy.

For Hashirama Senju to come in person, something must have happened during the time he was away on a mission.

Hashirama Senju sighed and explained, "I don't know why, but I've been feeling strange lately, and I've even lost my appetite."

During this period, he would occasionally experience heart palpitations.

It was as if an invisible hand was quietly tightening the threads of fate.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Mito Uzumaki noticed Hashirama's change and thought that her husband had developed anorexia due to overwork, so she suggested that Hashirama eat a meal made by Renya.

After learning what had happened, Renye smiled and said, "I see. Uncle Hashirama, I'll cook for you later."

"Haha, thank you for your trouble, Renya." Hashirama Senju forced a smile.

Renya didn't think much of it, assuming it was due to Hashirama's loss of appetite.

He planned to cook a few dishes that Uncle Hashirama liked, to see if he could whet the other man's appetite.

If that still doesn't work, then he has no other options.

Lianye looked puzzled: "Speaking of which, can a powerful figure like Uncle Hashirama really suffer from anorexia?"

This may not be anorexia.

It's a mental illness...

--------

After leaving, Hashirama Senju did not return home, but instead went to the Hokage Rock alone.

Below, wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys, and the shouts of vendors and the laughter of children chasing each other pierce through the thin mist, weaving together a vivid picture of human life.

His wooden clogs rolled over the fine gravel on the rocky top, and the sensation under his feet suddenly became familiar—the concave patterns and protruding stone edges were exactly the same as a scene in his memory.
