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

Even if he couldn't punch Kaguya or kick Madara Uchiha, he should at least survive several ninja wars, right?

When Tobirama Senju returned dejectedly, it was already midnight.

Judging from the dejected look on his face, the outcome was obvious.

He argued with his older brother in the Hokage's office for hours, his lips almost worn out.

But his older brother refused to budge and insisted that he take care of Lianye until she came of age...

Tobirama Senju felt as if the sky had fallen.

He hadn't spent much time with that Uchiha brat in the afternoon when he was already furious. The thought of having to spend another ten years or so with him made him feel like he was having trouble breathing.

"You wretched brat, if I'm not having a good time, you won't be either!"

Tobirama Senju's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and a maniacal smile appeared on his face.

He's obviously up to no good.

He looked into Lian Ye's room and saw that the light was still on, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He went into the kitchen and soon returned with a glass of milk to Lian Ye's door. "Kid, open the door!"

Renya was cultivating inside when she heard Tobirama Senju's words and looked puzzled.

Why would Tobirama Senju come looking for me in the middle of the night?

With a sense of doubt, he opened the door.

Tobirama Senju was holding a cup of hot milk. He handed the milk to Renya and said, "Drink your milk and get some rest."

Lianye was a little confused, wondering what Tobirama Senju was up to. Why would he suddenly send her milk? Did he have a change of heart?

He instinctively took the milk and said thank you.

"Drink up, I'll take the cup back," Tobirama Senju urged.

Lianye didn't say anything, drank the milk in one gulp, and then handed the cup back to the other person.

Tobirama Senju took the cup and reminded her, "Get some rest."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Renya watched Tobirama Senju's departing figure with a puzzled look: "What's that old guy up to now?"

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what Tobirama Senju's purpose was.

Finally, he shook his head and lay down on the bed to sleep.

Perhaps Tobirama Senju had a change of heart...

Not long after Renya fell asleep, Tobirama Senju appeared outside the window with a meaningful smile.

"Heh heh, you wretched brat!"

Chapter Five: Lianye's Craftsmanship

next morning.

Lian Ye lay exhausted on the bed. He had a dream last night.

In his dream, he found himself in a laboratory, lying on a cold dissection table, surrounded by shelves filled with various biological specimens and bottles.

He tried to get out of bed, but his body was completely immobile, and he could only watch silently.

"What exactly was that dream?" Lian Ye murmured to herself, "Could it be a cheat code from time travel?"

Thinking of this, he looked excited.

If it's a cheat code, that would be awesome!

As a transmigrator, it would be rather pathetic not to have a cheat system.

Lian Ye quickly calmed down; a dream couldn't mean anything.

If it's not true, then all our joy will have been for nothing.

He plans to observe for a while to see if he can continue to dream about it. If he can, then it won't be too late to start researching.

With that thought in mind, he got out of bed and walked out of the room.

After wandering around the courtyard, he didn't find Tobirama Senju. He guessed that Tobirama must have gone to the Hokage's office to help Hashirama Senju with his documents.

So he went to the shuriken-throwing area in the corner of the yard.

The site is a regular circle, with a diameter of approximately twenty meters.

In the very center stands a row of meticulously crafted wooden targets.

These targets are about the height of a person and are made of thick wooden boards. The surface is painted with striking concentric circles, with rings of different colors such as orange, yellow, and blue extending outward from the red dot in the center.

On one side of the site, a simple wooden shed has been erected.

Inside the room was a wooden table and several chairs, on which various types of shuriken were neatly arranged, including triangular and cross-shaped ones.

On the shelf by the wall hung protective gear, including gloves, wrist guards, and chest protectors.

"As expected of Tobirama Senju, he's really rich and powerful!" Renya exclaimed.

With his previous living expenses, he could only afford food and drink, and had no spare money to buy shuriken, let alone train in shuriken throwing.

Looking at the shuriken on the table, Lian Ye felt a surge of envy.

Although he was eager to begin shuriken training, these items were not his and he absolutely could not use them without permission; he needed Tobirama Senju's consent.

After watching for a while, Lian Ye decisively turned her gaze away and began physical training.

He's still young, so he hasn't trained too hard. He's only done some simple bodyweight exercises, such as push-ups, squats, and pull-ups, to improve the strength of his chest, legs, and arms.

These strength training exercises are crucial for ninjas to maintain physical stability and explosive power when carrying out missions.

By the time Lianye finished training, it was almost noon.

He lay on the ground to rest for a while, then dragged his tired body to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Renya didn't know if Tobirama Senju would be back for lunch, but she still planned to make enough for two people.

It's worth mentioning that Lianye made herself a particularly large portion, twice the amount he ate the night before.

After each physical training session, Lianye would have an unusually large appetite.

He was quite happy about this, because eating more meant that he had consumed a lot of energy before, which meant that the training was effective!

Moreover, adequate food intake helps him build muscle, increase endurance, and improve his body's recovery ability.

Since there weren't many ingredients at home, Lianye made a simple meal: Mapo Tofu and Kung Pao Chicken, both of which were extremely spicy.

"Hehe, still just a small bowl of rice!"

Lianye brought over a bowl of rice, filled a bowl with it, placed it opposite her, and then began to eat heartily while holding the bowl.

As for that small bowl of rice, it was naturally reserved for Tobirama Senju.

In his previous life, Lian Ye was Chinese and not used to Japanese food culture; he preferred Chinese food.

Since Tobirama Senju doesn't like spicy food, he'll cook a whole table full of spicy dishes.

At that moment, Tobirama Senju returned.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he smelled a rich fragrance.

He looked into the room in surprise and muttered, "It smells so good... What did that brat do?"

Tobirama Senju then realized that Renya hadn't been bragging; he really could cook.

He swallowed hard and quickly walked into the house.

"Uncle White Hair, you're back." Lian Ye greeted him and continued to devour her food.

Without wasting words, Tobirama Senju sat upright at the table, with two tempting dishes in front of him—Mapo Tofu and Kung Pao Chicken.

The tender white tofu is soaked in bright red chili oil, dotted with Sichuan peppercorns and emerald green scallions, and the rich, spicy aroma fills the nostrils.

The same goes for Kung Pao Chicken, where orange-yellow diced chicken is cleverly paired with bright red chilies and tender green scallions, exuding an irresistible sweet and spicy aroma.

He first picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu with his chopsticks. The moment it entered his mouth, the scalding heat and the intense numbing and spicy sensation exploded on his tongue.

"Shhhh!"

Tobirama Senju wasn't good at eating spicy food, but he was still won over by Mapo Tofu.

Next, he tried Kung Pao Chicken. The tender chicken, the crunchy peanuts, and the spicy chili peppers blended perfectly, creating a rich flavor that gave him an unprecedented taste experience.

This tastes absolutely delicious!

"Uncle White Hair, don't just eat the vegetables, they taste better when mixed with rice!" Lian Ye reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju casually picked up his rice bowl and, mimicking Renya, scooped up a spoonful of Mapo Tofu. The chili oil dripped down the spoon and coated the rice.

Chewing it in your mouth, the spicy and numbing flavor of the tofu combined with the sweetness of the rice makes every bite intoxicating.

He ate one bite after another, immersed in the satisfaction brought by the food, completely unconcerned about being drenched in sweat from the spiciness.

Tobirama Senju closed his eyes in enjoyment, seemingly savoring the taste of the two dishes.

Even for him, this was the first time he had ever tasted such delicious food.

This kid's cooking skills are truly amazing!

It seems that adopting him isn't so hard to accept after all.

"Hey, uncle, stop sitting here like an idiot. Go wash the dishes after you finish eating!" Lian Ye burped and urged.

Senju Tobirama snapped out of his daze and obediently picked up his bowl and chopsticks and headed to the kitchen.

Lian Ye was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected this old man to be so easy to talk to.

He had no idea that Lian Ye had successfully won over his stomach.

The fact that Renya could make Tobirama Senju, who never eats spicy food, finish these two extremely spicy dishes is enough to show her culinary skills.

Not long after, Tobirama Senju came out of the kitchen, his gaze falling on Renya, but he quickly looked away.

Renya seemed to see a hint of admiration in Tobirama Senju's eyes...

He shook his head, dismissing the idea from his mind.

Tobirama Senju praising himself? What a joke!

Lian Ye remembered the training ground and tentatively asked, "Uncle White Hair, can I use the training ground in the yard?"

"Use it if you want." Tobirama Senju didn't react much.

Lian Ye was somewhat pleased, thinking to herself, "This old guy is actually quite easy to talk to..."

"I have things to do," Tobirama Senju said, then turned and left.

Just as he reached the door, he seemed to remember something, stopped, and turned to look at Lian Ye:

"Kid, remember to cook extra rice tonight."

Lianye: "???"

Chapter Six: Shuriken Throwing

After Tobirama Senju left.

After a short rest, Lianye couldn't wait to go to the practice area.

This was his first time practicing shuriken throwing, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

In the ninja world, shuriken are a common weapon used by ninjas. Throwing shuriken can attack enemies from a distance, making them ideal for surprise attacks and assassinations, allowing them to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy silently.

To put it bluntly, why would you need close-quarters combat if you can kill an enemy with ranged attacks?

If we can launch a surprise attack, we should. The ultimate goal is to eliminate the enemy.

Lian Ye looked forward to the day when her throwing skills would be perfected, and she could take down an opponent with a single shuriken on the battlefield. Just thinking about that scene made her blood boil!

Lianye took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Then, he slowly raised his head, leaned back slightly, adjusted his posture, and threw the shuriken with all his might.
