Chapter 47 Hashirama's Injuries

The Tobirama Senju residence.

"Has Uncle Hashirama's injuries improved?" Renya asked.

Since the battle at the Valley of the End, Hashirama Senju's injuries have shown no signs of healing.

Logically speaking, given Hashirama's physical abilities, even a fatal wound should heal quickly.

Several months have passed since the battle at the Valley of the End, and Hashirama's injuries have not improved.

This made Renya worry. If Senju Hashirama died like this, wouldn't the Ninja War break out immediately?

With a grave expression, Tobirama Senju explained, "It seems that the cells in my elder brother's body have entered a dormant state."

During this time, he conducted a comprehensive study of his elder brother's body and was surprised to find that his elder brother's cell division rate was extremely slow, like that of an elderly person in their twilight years.

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye frowned. "This is troublesome..."

Hashirama Senju possessed such strong vitality and maintenance capabilities precisely because of his exceptionally active cell division ability.

This allows Hashirama to rapidly regenerate damaged body tissues, enabling him to recover quickly even from severe injuries sustained in battle.

However, the cells in the intercolumnar space are now dividing slowly.

This only shows that his cells were overused during the battle with Madara.

It was used to repair severe injuries.

Or it can undergo massive cell proliferation to unleash powerful ninjutsu.

This causes a temporary slowdown in the rate of cell division.

Just like when the human body loses a lot of blood, the division of hematopoietic stem cells will accelerate, but after a period of time, the division may slow down and it will take some time to return to normal.

This may be the reason why Hashirama Senju has not recovered for so long.

Renye guessed that it wouldn't be long before Hashirama's cell division rate would return to normal.

However, rapid cell division has a drawback: it begins to deplete the body's vitality.

Excessive cell division leads to a rapid depletion of vitality.

This may be the reason for Hashirama Senju's death...

What Renya could think of, Tobirama Senju naturally understood as well.

Since his elder brother was injured, he has been trying to find a solution, but to no avail.

Tobirama sighed helplessly, "I've done my best."

Lian Ye remained silent.

Knowing the future developments in the ninja world, he was the one who least wanted Hashirama Senju to die.

The shadow of a famous tree.

The title of "God of Ninjas" is well-deserved.

As long as Hashirama Senju is alive, no other country will dare to covet the Land of Fire.

Then war will not break out, and he will have enough time to become stronger.

However, once Hashirama Senju dies, the landscape of the ninja world will change.

After all, the two strongest ninjas in the world—Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha—are dead, so the other ninja villages will naturally launch a war against Konoha, which is now leaderless.

Tobirama Senju's expression was solemn; he shared the same thought as Renya.

His elder brother's experience of being seriously injured made him realize the fragility of life and the enormous loss that the death of a powerful ninja would bring to the village.

He began to think: "How can we get the dead ninjas to serve Konoha again?"

If he could develop such a ninjutsu, he could transcend the boundary between life and death.

That way, even if his elder brother really passed away, he could summon him back...

As long as this ninjutsu can be developed, Konoha will not have to worry about other countries coveting it.

Renya had no idea what Tobirama was thinking, otherwise she would have been completely astonished.

--------

Evening, at the Senju Hashirama residence.

"Tobirama, Renya, you've arrived," Mito Uzumaki said softly.

Hashirama's injuries were slow to heal, which worried her greatly, causing her to become haggard.

"Sister-in-law, how has my brother been lately?" Tobirama Senju's Adam's apple bobbed.

Tobirama Senju had three brothers, two of whom died in battle during the Sengoku period, leaving only Hashirama as the eldest brother.

He didn't want his older brother to die like this...

"Still the same, nothing has improved." Mito Uzumaki's eyelashes trembled slightly.

During this time, she invited many medical ninjas to treat Hashirama, but to no avail.

Seeing this, Tobirama comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely find a solution."

After saying that, he led Lianye into the house.

"Tobirama, Renya, what brings you here?"

Hashirama Senju struggled to sit up and looked at the two of them.

"Uncle Hashirama, are you alright?" Renya asked with concern.

He prayed silently, "Uncle Hashirama, please hold on for a few more years, I haven't even developed yet."

Seeing Renya's worried expression, Hashirama Senju felt a warmth in his heart.

He was right about this child after all...

"Haha, Little Lianye, don't worry, my injury will heal soon."

He had a feeling that his injuries would heal quickly.

"Brother, are you serious?" Tobirama Senju asked hurriedly.

“It’s true, Tobirama,” Hashirama said. “I can feel my wounds slowly healing.”

As he spoke, he revealed the injury on his arm.

Renya and Tobirama quickly went forward to check on them.

Just as Hashirama Senju said, his wounds were healing.

Although the recovery isn't as fast as before, it's really healing.

Seeing this, Lian Ye immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Hashirama, I'm so glad you're alright."

"Haha, I made you worry." Hashirama reached out and ruffled Renya's hair.

He liked the child more and more the more he looked at him.

The worry on Lian Ye's face just now was genuine; he could clearly feel that the child was truly concerned about his safety.

"Brother, I'm so glad you're alright. If anything happens, just have your wife come find me."

Tobirama looked at Hashirama, paused, and then said, "Brother, you must recover. The village can't live without you..."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama's smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "I understand, Tobirama."

After learning about Hashirama Senju's situation, Renya began frantically taking on missions.

He knew that he didn't have much time left to become stronger.

He must have the ability to protect himself before Hashirama Senju dies.

In this way, they won't become cannon fodder in the war.

…………

In the days that followed, Lian Ye was either on a mission or on her way to one.

This really put Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utatane through a lot of trouble.

On several occasions, the three of them had just finished a mission and their injuries had not yet healed when Lian Ye started a new one.

However, the effect is significant.

During the mission, the three engaged in numerous life-or-death battles, constantly reviewing and summarizing their experiences, which greatly improved their skills.

In just one year, their strength has approached that of Chunin.

Yusuke Senju spoke highly of the three of them.

--------

The border of the Fire Nation.

"Renya-kun, now that this mission is over, shall we take a break for a while?" A hint of fatigue flashed in Koharu Utatane's eyes.

This is already their fifth task this month.

Aside from travel and rest periods, they were almost always on duty.

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo paused in his bandaging of the wound, his gaze falling on Renya.

Although he didn't say anything, he also wanted to rest.

Lian Ye lowered her eyes and wiped the [Pure] blade, the blade reflecting the disheveled appearance of the three of them.

Koharu Utatane was pale due to overuse of chakra.

Danzo Shimura's bandaged arm was still bleeding.

With both of them looking forward to it, Lianye nodded in agreement.

"It's true that I should take a break for a while." Lian Ye sheathed her sword.

Danzo's tense expression finally relaxed a little.

Damn, at least I can finally rest.

If he were to go on another mission, he might die in it...

Xiaochun excitedly patted Lianye on the back, then turned and ran towards the village: "It's a deal then, I'm going to sleep for three days and three nights!"

Mission accomplished, time to return home.

The setting sun cast long shadows of the three people.

Chapter 48 I'd rather you became a chef

The Tobirama Senju residence.

"Kid, you're back just in time. Go and cook for me." Tobirama Senju walked out of the study looking exhausted.

That year, he was researching ninjutsu that could bring the dead back to the ninja world.

Despite hundreds and thousands of experiments, no results were achieved.

The key to this technique lies in summoning the soul of the dead, which is the most difficult step to achieve.

In order to control the soul, he planned to research a ninjutsu that could imprison the soul, which he would call "Soul Imprisonment".

Once the Soul Imprisonment Technique is successfully developed, the soul of the dead can be controlled, thus enabling the summoning of the dead's soul.

Tobirama Senju devoted himself to researching the imprisonment of souls, to the point of neglecting sleep and meals.

During this period, apart from his sister-in-law occasionally bringing him food, he could only survive on soldier's rations.

His mouth was practically tasteless.

As soon as Lianye returned, he immediately asked him to cook for him.

During Renya's absence, Tobirama Senju often complained about him: "That brat is always on missions and doesn't even come home..."

Hearing Tobirama's words, Renya's eyelids twitched violently, and he thought to himself, "That old bastard is making him cook again."
