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

Suddenly, Tobirama Senju appeared behind Renya, thrusting his kunai straight at her.

Just as the attack was about to hit, Lian Ye's lips curled up slightly.

Upon seeing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Tobirama Senju's eyes, but he quickly realized what was happening as Renya in front of him turned into smoke and dissipated.

"Shadow Clone Technique?" Tobirama Senju's pupils constricted sharply. "When exactly did this happen...?"

"Uncle, don't stand still during the fight!" Renya raised her sword and slashed at Senju Tobirama.

Before he could even rejoice for long, his figure vanished into mist.

Lianye: "???"

At that moment, Tobirama Senju instantly appeared in front of Renya.

While Lian Ye was still wondering if this was a clone, the other party kicked him away.

"boom--"

Lian Ye fell heavily to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

The intense pain made him gasp; this old man really wasn't holding back...

"Kid, here's what I'm telling you." Tobirama Senju approached Renya. "Don't daydream during the battle."

Lian Ye stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Uncle, the battle isn't over yet."

As he spoke, he held the Immaculate Sword in his hand, showing no intention of admitting defeat.

When Tobirama Senju saw Renya's cold gaze, he subconsciously thought of Izuna Uchiha.

Renya is starting to resemble Izuna more and more.

In the instant that Tobirama Senju was distracted, Renya launched an attack.

…………

The battle lasted for half an hour, until Lian Ye finally collapsed to one knee due to exhaustion.

Tobirama Senju stood under the eaves, holding a teacup that had been refilled at some point: "You've improved since last time, being able to combine swordsmanship with eye techniques."

If it were anyone else, they might have fallen into Lian Ye's trap.

After all, once someone is caught in the Sharingan's genjutsu, they will definitely lose their focus for a moment. In that instant, Renya can use the Body Flicker Technique to get there and kill them with a single strike.

Unfortunately, Ren Ye's Sharingan was useless against him.

How could someone in the ninja world who understands the Uchiha clan better than the Uchiha themselves possibly fall for the Uchiha's genjutsu?

It's already a good thing he didn't use the [Darkness Travel Technique] to bully Lian Ye.

However, Lian Ye's performance this time did surprise him. To be able to think of using Lightning Release chakra to stimulate body cells and using sword techniques and eye techniques combined with Body Flicker Technique to kill was already enough to be called genius.

Tobirama Senju stared at Renya, lost in thought.

Perhaps I could teach Lian Ye the Flying Thunder God Technique, but I don't know if this kid can learn it.

After all, the Flying Thunder God technique is very difficult to learn, requiring a lot of knowledge about space, and Ren Ye's academic performance is... well, let's just say it's not great.

Forget it, let's talk about this later.

If Renye knew that she missed the opportunity to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique ahead of time because of her academic performance, I wonder what she would think?

Tobirama Senju entered the kitchen and handed Renya a glass of milk.

"I'll call Danzo and Koharu over tomorrow and see how their training has progressed."

"I understand." Lian Ye took the milk and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Tobirama Senju nodded in satisfaction.

"It's late, get some rest."

Lianye didn't think much of it and went back to her room to sleep.

--------

In the laboratory, Tobirama Senju, dressed in a white lab coat and holding a syringe, approached Renya, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Chapter 58 The Mastermind Behind the Ninja World

The next morning.

Lianye got out of bed, feeling sore all over.

He moved his neck with difficulty and muttered to himself, "That damned old man, he really doesn't hold back."

He didn't think much of it, subconsciously assuming it was caused by yesterday's battle.

When Renya's words reached Tobirama Senju's ears, they had a completely different meaning...

He was about to wake Lian Ye to make him breakfast when he heard her words at the door and froze on the spot.

Tobirama Senju's pupils contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Gone was his usual composure; only one question occupied his mind: "Did Uchiha Renya discover the experiment???"

Damn it, I clearly increased the dosage, how could this happen!

I can't imagine what would happen to my older brother if this got back to him.

Not only his older brother, but his sister-in-law would probably tear him to pieces too!

After all, the eldest brother and sister-in-law really liked Lian Ye.

If they find out that they used Lian Ye for research, they will definitely not let them off the hook!

What's even more frightening is how Uchiha Renya will view him?

His lifelong reputation is about to be ruined...

Renya was unaware of Tobirama's brainstorming session; she opened the door and saw him standing there.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju finally came to his senses.

Although he was very flustered, he still carefully observed the expression on Lian Ye's face. Seeing that Lian Ye did not look angry or furious, he immediately understood.

This is just a misunderstanding!

With this thought in mind, Tobirama Senju finally felt relieved.

He said he couldn't possibly make such a basic mistake.

Lian Ye asked with some confusion, "Uncle, are you alright?"

Why is this old man's face turning pale and then red...?

"I'm fine." Tobirama Senju urged, "Hurry up and make breakfast, I'm going out in a bit."

Lian Ye's lips twitched, and she complained softly, "Calling me to cook so early in the morning, Uncle, really..."

Despite saying that, he still obediently went to the kitchen.

Seeing Renya leave, Tobirama Senju wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He was really scared just now; he almost thought his secret had been exposed.

…………

After having breakfast, Tobirama Senju went to the Hokage's office, saying he was going to handle some documents for his older brother.

Before leaving, he told Renya to call Danzo and Koharu over at noon so he could check their progress in their training.

Renya's expression was somewhat grave as she murmured, "Has Uncle Hashirama's health deteriorated to this extent?"

It's only been ten years since the ninja world was founded. Logically, Hashirama should have lived for at least another four or five years. This situation shouldn't have occurred so early.

Thinking about it, he decided to go and find out the situation himself.

"I hope Uncle Hashirama is alright..."

--------

The residence of Hashirama Senju.

As soon as Lianye entered the courtyard, she saw Hashirama kneeling on a cushion.

Tsunade waved her chubby arms, babbling and tugging at her grandfather's long hair, drool dripping down her chubby chin.

"Uncle Hashirama!" Renya shook the milk she was carrying. "This is for Tsunade."

Tsunade, still in her swaddling clothes, suddenly stopped fussing and stared intently at the milk carton with a deer pattern on it.

Hashirama freed one hand to take the box, then suddenly noticed that his clothes were covered in Tsunade's drool. He smiled helplessly and indulgently.

"You've come at the right time. This little guy has recently started to recognize the bottle and needs to be held and rocked for a long time every day before he'll fall asleep."

Lianye squatted down and gently poked Tsunade's chubby cheeks with his fingertips. The baby immediately grabbed his finger and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Lianye carefully pulled her finger out and placed the bottle near Tsunade's mouth.

Only then did he notice that Hashirama was wearing a casual kimono, and asked in confusion, "Uncle Hashirama, aren't you going to handle government affairs today?"

He originally thought that Hashirama was unwell, which was why he had Tobirama take his place. But looking so energetic, he didn't seem sick at all.

The wind chimes under the eaves suddenly tinkled, startling the baby so much that he burped. Hashirama quickly patted Tsunade's back, saying, "Get ready to retire and take care of your granddaughter."

He gazed at the little Tsunade in his arms, a gentle smile curving his lips. "Let Tobirama familiarize himself with the process recently, around this time next year..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tsunade suddenly scrunched up her chubby face and started sobbing. Hashirama immediately pulled out a rattle and waved it in front of Tsunade's eyes, saying, "Be good, Grandpa's here."

The morning breeze, carrying the fragrance of flowers, swept through the courtyard, causing the bells under the eaves to ring softly.

Renya watched Hashirama coaxing the child and fell silent.

He knew that Hashirama Senju, the former god of ninjas, was no longer alive.

Or perhaps, when the God of Shinobi killed Madara Uchiha with his own hands, the beating heart of the shinobi died...

It took Hashirama quite a while to finally get Tsunade to sleep.

"Little Lotus Night, do you think Tobirama can become a qualified Hokage?"

"Little Lotus Night?"

Seeing that Lian Ye did not respond for a long time, he subconsciously turned around to look, but Lian Ye's figure had already disappeared.

"This child left without even saying goodbye..."

--------

Lianye wandered alone through the Thousand Hands territory.

He knew very well that Hashirama's death was inevitable.

Without Tsunade, he might have died even sooner...

Lianye rubbed her temples, thinking to herself, "Uchiha Madara is such a bastard, faking his death to deceive Uncle Hashirama's feelings."

Poor Hashirama Senju was consumed by grief over the killing of his best friend and ultimately died in despair.

Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha was secretly plotting everything!

Lian Ye felt somewhat helpless. If Madara Uchiha hadn't pulled this stunt, the ninja world could have enjoyed at least fifty years of peace.

That way, he can lie down...

But he also knew that he couldn't blame Madara entirely for this; there were many other factors involved, and even Madara was just a pawn.

The real mastermind is Black Zetsu!

Black Zetsu lay dormant in the ninja world for a thousand years, plotting a break between Indra and Ashura, secretly altering the Uchiha clan's stone tablet, and completely deceiving Madara Uchiha.

"Well, let's just take it one step at a time." Lianye saw that it was almost time and prepared to call Danzo and Koharu over.

He had not forgotten Tobirama Senju's instructions.

--------

In a mountain cave in the ninja world.

Madara Uchiha was using needle and thread to sew Hashirama's flesh and blood back onto his chest.

"Hashirama, you didn't expect this, did you?" Madara murmured softly, "I'm not dead at all."

He has now integrated the cells between the pillars into himself, as described on the stone tablet, and all that remains is to wait for the "Power of All Things" to appear.
