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

Tsunade was nestled in her grandfather's arms, her eyes still looking a little sleepy.

But the moment she saw Lian Ye, her eyes lit up instantly.

She wriggled her little body, eagerly breaking free from her grandfather's embrace, and hurriedly ran towards Lianye.

"Uncle Lianye!" Little Tsunade ran up to Lianye, her big, watery eyes full of expectation, and asked in her childish voice, "Did you come to cook for me again?"

As she spoke, images of the delicious dishes Lian Ye had prepared flashed through her mind, and saliva involuntarily dripped from the corners of her mouth.

Renye was amused by Tsunade's drooling, greedy look.

He crouched down, opened his arms, and let the little girl jump into his embrace. He then picked her up and whispered:

"No problem, I'll cook you something delicious today!"

"Yay! I want to eat lots of delicious food!"

"But before that, shouldn't you wipe your drool off?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately wiped her face haphazardly with her sleeve.

Lianye still dotes on Tsunade, this little dumpling.

Who wouldn't love such an adorable porcelain doll?

--------

"Little Lianye, how long will you rest after you come back this time?"

At the dinner table, Hashirama Senju suddenly asked a question.

Generally speaking, Lianye's rest period after returning from a mission will not exceed three days.

"I'm going to take a long break this time." Renye put down her chopsticks. "Uncle Hashirama, is there something you need?"

He felt that Hashirama Senju wanted to talk to him about something...

As expected, Hashirama Senju's eyes lit up.

"Little Lotus Night, would you be willing to leave Konoha with me and go out to see the world?"

Upon hearing this, the three people at the table were stunned.

Mito Uzumaki frowned, her voice filled with worry. "Hashirama, what are you doing leaving Konoha?"

She knew her husband's health was deteriorating, and what if he encountered danger after leaving Konoha?

“Mito, I just want to go out and see the world.” Hashirama Senju explained, “I’ve been staying in the village for years and haven’t been out for a long time, so I plan to take Renya with me and go out for a stroll.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Lian Ye, "So, little Lian Ye, would you like to come out with me?"

Lian Ye's expression was somewhat complicated. He felt something was off, like a dying person trying to fulfill a wish.

Facing Hashirama's expectant gaze, Renya suddenly asked, "Uncle Hashirama, if Uncle Tobirama knew, would he agree to let you leave?"

Upon hearing this, Hashirama's smile froze instantly.

Knowing his younger brother as he does, it seems unlikely he would agree to him going out...

After all, his health was deteriorating, and Tobirama would never allow him to run around recklessly.

"I will get Tobirama to agree," Hashirama said with a serious expression.

He fought wars his whole life, couldn't he enjoy himself in the final moments of his life?

“In that case, I’m willing to go out with Uncle Hashirama.” Renya seemed to have no reason to refuse.

"Hashirama, Renya, you two need to be careful." Mito Uzumaki said with concern.

Although she didn't want her husband to go out, it was his own choice, so she could only silently support him.

"Don't worry, Mito." Hashirama scratched his head and said, "With Renya here, I won't be in any danger."

Lianye: "???"

He hadn't expected Hashirama Senju to say something so contrary to the established order.

What the hell? With me around, there's no danger?

It's like Hashirama would be in danger without him...

Although Hashirama's body was not as strong as before after his battle with Madara.

But not everyone can stage an accident to extort money.

Hashirama Senju was just about to die, not really dead!

As long as Hashirama is alive.

Other ninja villages dared not launch a war against Konoha.

This is the true value of the God of Ninjas!

P.S.: I'm exhausted from watching the third night's show, sob sob...

Chapter Sixty-Two: Hashirama's Memories

"Brother, please be extra careful when you leave this time."

At the gates of Konoha, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but offer a reminder.

In fact, he didn't want his older brother to leave Konoha at all.

What if my older brother gets into danger?

But he couldn't resist his older brother's insistence, and in the end he had no choice but to agree.

Although he knew that there were almost no people in the current ninja world who could threaten his elder brother, he was still very worried.

My older brother's health isn't what it used to be.

What if we really encounter danger?

It's just that the probability of this happening is extremely low...

Tobirama Senju was unable to find a specific solution to his elder brother's physical condition.

This is not just due to physical reasons, but to a large extent, psychological reasons.

He asked his older brother more than once, but received only ambiguous answers.

Tobirama was also helpless about this; his older brother seemed unwilling to tell him...

"Understood, Tobirama." Hashirama Senju waved his hand. "You should go back now. Renya is here."

Lian Ye: "..."

Tobirama Senju looked at Renya and said, "Kid, keep an eye on your Uncle Hashirama. If anything happens, come back and tell me right away."

"Understood, Uncle." Lian Ye nodded.

He wanted to say that Tobirama Senju's worries were unnecessary; how could Hashirama Senju possibly be in danger?

Surely no one would be stupid enough to assassinate the God of Ninjas, right?

Lianye only considered this trip as a vacation outside of her mission...

After all, having the God of Ninjas by his side was when he felt most secure.

After giving Renya his instructions, Tobirama Senju turned to Hashirama and said, "Brother, you must be extra careful."

He paused, then added, "The village cannot lose you..."

This statement was clearly quite heavy.

"I understand, Tobirama." Hashirama Senju said seriously.

But he quickly returned to his jovial self and said:

"No need to see us off, Xiaolian and I are leaving now."

After saying that, he called Lian Ye and left together.

"Uncle, where are we going?"

"I don't know, just browsing around."

Tobirama Senju stood at the gate, watching the two figures gradually walk away until they disappeared from sight.

"Big brother, you have to hold on..."

--------

Hashirama Senju and Renya walked side by side on the winding path.

Far from the hustle and bustle of Konoha Village, we entered a quiet, desolate place.

Throughout the journey, Hashirama remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Lianye curiously looked around at her surroundings.

He felt that Uncle Hashirama was not walking aimlessly, but was deliberately heading in this direction.

When the ruins came into view, the pillars suddenly stopped.

The area is overgrown with weeds and littered with pebbles.

The glory of the past has long been eroded by the relentless passage of time.

Amidst the broken bricks and tiles, a few tenacious wild grasses grow wildly, swaying in the wind, seemingly telling stories of the past.

The tilted mural has long since become blurred, leaving only a few barely recognizable patches of color.

Lian Ye stared at the pattern on the wall. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the emblem of a family, but unfortunately it was no longer clear.

He didn't understand why Uncle Hashirama had brought him to a place like this.

Just as he was feeling puzzled, Hashirama Senju explained, "This is the Senju clan's territory during the Warring States period."

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye suddenly realized what was going on.

He looked around at the dilapidated buildings and found it hard to associate them with the Senju clan.

Hashirama slowly walked forward, reaching out to gently touch a damaged section of the wall, feeling a rough and cold sensation in his palm.

Memories come flooding back like a tide.

At that time, the place was bustling with people, full of life and vitality.

Young Hashirama ran and played in the streets of the clan's territory, chasing and frolicking with his younger brothers.

The tribespeople bustled about, some training diligently on the training field, others tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard...

Laughter and joy echoed in every corner of the tribe.

These were some of the few happy times he had.

Later, the conflict between the Senju and Uchiha clans intensified.

This ancestral land also became a brutal battlefield.

Amidst the flames of war and the smoke of battle, once beautiful buildings collapsed in the fighting, and people of the tribe lost their lives in the carnage.

Hashirama remembered that it was a bloody and violent night when the Uchiha clan suddenly launched an attack. The clan members fought back fiercely, and shouts and screams echoed throughout the night.

He fought alongside his younger brother Tobirama, wielding weapons and battling fiercely.

However, the Uchiha's offensive was too fierce, and the clan's territory was severely damaged. Many familiar faces disappeared forever that night.

Renya stood quietly to the side, watching Hashirama Senju lost in his memories.

He could sense the heaviness and sorrow in Hashirama's heart; it was a deeply etched memory, carrying with it too much suffering and sacrifice.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate to have been born in the early days of Konoha's founding; if he had been born during the Warring States period, that would have been true despair...

During the Warring States period, wars were mostly fought between clans, and it was not uncommon for some medium-sized clans to be wiped out overnight.

As powerful clans, the Uchiha and Senju clans engaged in particularly brutal battles.

It's common for kids who aren't even genin to go to the battlefield.

"Back then, in order to survive, to protect our people and our homes, we had no choice but to take up arms and fight to the death against the enemy," Hashirama said slowly. "But war only brings pain and hatred; countless lives are lost, and countless families are broken."

His voice gradually choked up, as if he had returned to that era filled with war.

Renya approached Hashirama and whispered, "Uncle Hashirama, is this your original intention in establishing Konoha?"
