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

Bai Lian naturally noticed Lian Ye, but he made no attempt to ask.

After exchanging pleasantries with Hashirama, he excused himself and left, citing busy schedules.

After walking out the door, Bai Lian said with lingering fear, "Luckily, things didn't turn out the way I thought..."

He's getting old and can't handle being scared anymore; it seems like he should start thinking about retirement.

…………

After finishing their meal, Renya and Hashirama wandered around Kirigakure for half a day, but finding nothing interesting, they left the Land of Water under the cover of night.

This time, however, they didn't travel by boat. Instead, they attached their chakra to their feet and ran on the sea.

"Uncle Hashirama, where are we going next?" Renya asked.

He had wanted to be the guide, but unfortunately the map wasn't in his possession.

Hashirama looked at the map and pondered for a moment: "Let's go to the Land of Whirlpools."

"The Land of Whirlpools?" Renya was taken aback.

He certainly knew this country; it was the home of the Whirlpool Clan.

It is important to know that the Uzumaki clan is famous in the ninja world for its powerful sealing techniques.

However, it was precisely for this reason that it became coveted by various countries in the future, ultimately leading to its demise...

“Yes, the Land of Whirlpools.” Hashirama said with a smile, “Your Aunt Mito was a princess of the Land of Whirlpools before she married me.”

Lianye nodded without saying a word.

He was not interested in such a marriage alliance.

During the Warring States period, the Senju and Uzumaki formed an alliance through marriage, aiming to jointly fight against the Uchiha.

As the young head of the Senju clan, Hashirama Senju's marriage partner was naturally the princess of the Uzumaki clan...

--------

The night was as dark as ink, and the two were discovered as soon as they entered the Land of Whirlpools.

A group of Whirlpool Clan members carrying torches rushed up to the two of them.

"Who are you? Why have you come to the Land of Whirlpools?!"

The Uzumaki clan has a strong sense of perception, and they had already noticed the two approaching.

Faced with the wary Uzumaki clan members, Hashirama quickly identified himself, "I am Hashirama Senju!"

Upon hearing this, the Whirlpool Clan members present exchanged bewildered glances, all frozen in place for a moment.

Before long, the Whirlpool Clan members present stepped aside, and an old man with white hair walked out, leaning on a cane.

The old man was the current patriarch of the Whirlpool Clan.

Upon seeing the old man, Hashirama smiled and waved, "Clan Chief Ashina, it's been a long time!"

When the old man saw Hashirama, his cloudy eyes suddenly widened. "Hashirama, it really is you!"

As he spoke, the old man threw away his cane and stepped forward to excitedly grasp Hashirama's hand.

"Hashirama, how is my niece doing?"

"Chief Ashina, Mito is doing very well," Hashirama said.

Upon hearing this, the old man smiled and nodded, "I'm relieved that the girl is doing well. I can go down and give an account to my elder brother when I pass away."

Since Mito married Senju, she has rarely come back.

Before his death, his elder brother passed the position of clan leader to him. As his uncle, he was always worried that his niece was not doing well in Senju...

I wanted to visit my niece several times, but I had to cancel due to health reasons.

"Chief Ashina, you will surely live to be a hundred!" Hashirama patted the old man's hand, comforting him.

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the Whirlpool Clan members present immediately froze.

Lianye noticed that something was wrong, but didn't know what had happened.

Hearing this, the old man smiled wryly and said, "Hashirama, I'm ninety-eight years old this year."

"Clan Chief Ashina, I'm sorry." Hashirama scratched his head awkwardly.

"It's alright, it's alright, my old bones are just not up to par." The old man wasn't angry about it.

Lian Ye's lips twitched; he finally understood why the people around him had that expression.

Isn't Uncle Hashirama cursing that the person won't live for more than two years?

At this moment, Lian Ye noticed that the old man's gaze had fallen on him, and he nodded politely to the old man.

The old man stared at Lian Ye with a strange expression, opened his mouth but said nothing.

If he wasn't mistaken, the child Hashirama brought was a member of the Uchiha clan, right?

That's unbelievable.

Two families that had been fighting each other for over a thousand years actually ended their war and began to live together peacefully.

The two stayed in the Land of Whirlpools for one night, and then bid farewell and left the next day.

Before leaving, Hashirama said that he would take Mito back to the Land of Whirlpools to visit relatives when he had time.

This delighted the old man, who declared, "These old bones of mine will surely hold out until Mito returns..."

For the next period of time, Hashirama took Renya on a journey around the ninja world, visiting almost the entire ninja world.

…………

The Land of Winds, in the desert.

"Uncle Hashirama, when are we going back?"

Lianye wiped the sweat from her face, thinking to herself that this place was really hot.

P.S.: Dear readers, it's not that I don't want to update more, but I'm having such a bad cold that I'm not in the mood at all.

I didn't even want to write anything today. I'll catch up on the two chapters I owe once I'm better!

Chapter 74 Why is my older brother back?

"The plants growing here have deeper root systems than anywhere else, and their vitality is more tenacious than I imagined!"

Zhujian squatted in the desert, examining the few plants on the ground with great interest.

He reached out and gently stroked the plants. As chakra was injected, the plants quickly began to grow, blooming with clusters of small purple flowers.

After doing all this, Hashirama stood up with a cheerful smile.

Lianye watched silently from the side, feeling utterly speechless.

"Uncle Hashirama, what's fun to do here?"

He looked around and saw nothing but the sun in the sky, yellow sand, and the occasional plants and animals.

With such living conditions, it's no wonder that the Land of Wind is the poorest village among the five great nations.

Hashira gazed at the distant sea of ​​sand without responding.

The tabby cat lay limply on his shoulder, sticking out its little pink tongue and letting out two weak cries, clearly feeling quite hot.

Seeing that Hashirama did not respond, Renya irritably kicked away the sand at her feet, and the sand that was kicked up blocked the two of them from seeing.

He crossed his arms, his tone somewhat impatient: "Uncle Hashirama, when are we going back to Konoha?"

Before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind carrying scorching heat swept by, filling his mouth with sand.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Lian Ye kept spitting out saliva, trying to clean the sand out of her mouth.

"Haha, little Renya, don't talk against the wind, okay?" Hashirama laughed when he saw this.

He cleverly positioned himself with his back to the wind, preventing sand and dust from getting into his eyes or mouth.

Lianye rolled her eyes at Hashirama helplessly and continued, "Uncle Hashirama, when are we going back?"

They have been in the Land of Wind for three days.

Aside from spending the first day in town, the remaining two days were spent hiking in the desert.

He couldn't understand why, surrounded by nothing but desert, there was nothing interesting to see...

You'd be better off going back to cultivate.

"Little Lotus Night, do you want to go back?" Hashirama asked.

Renya nodded, "Uncle Hashirama, we've been out for a while now, it's time to go back."

It has been almost three months since they left Konoha, and it is indeed time for them to return home.

Upon hearing this, a hint of reluctance flashed in Hashirama's eyes.

He looked at Lian Ye and tentatively asked, "Can we play for a few more days?"

"Uncle Hashirama, we've explored the entire ninja world," Renya reminded him.

"Alright." Hashirama understood what Renya meant and agreed with a disappointed look. "I was originally planning to play for a few more days..."

Renya snatched the map from Hashirama's hand and began leading the way without turning her head, saying:

"Uncle Hashirama, you'll still have time to go out and have fun in the future."

Hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Hashirama's eyes, and he murmured softly, "But do I really still have time...?"

As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeve, revealing a thin, long wound on his arm.

This is a scratch he got from a plant two days ago, and it hasn't gotten any better after two days.

For the past three months, he has traveled all over the ninja world, just wanting to take one last look at the peaceful world he created before leaving.

"Meow~" The raccoon licked Hashirama's face.

Haha, did I make you worry?

Hashirama pulled down his sleeves again, his cheerful expression returning, and he followed Renya from afar.

"Little Lianye, let me lead the way. Otherwise, we'll get lost again."

"Uncle Hashirama, believe me, we will definitely make it to Konoha this time."

"Okay, I'll trust you one last time."

--------

Konoha Village, Tobirama Senju's laboratory.

Tobirama Senju stared expressionlessly at the struggling ninja bound to the ground, and said coldly:

"The only value of you spies is to become victims of experiments."

"With flesh and blood as the medium, and the soul as the bond," Tobirama Senju formed hand seals, "Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

He slammed one hand on the ground, and complex array patterns spread towards the ninja on the ground. The ninja, whose eyes were covered, was still struggling and letting out a horrifying scream.

White dust rose from the array patterns and covered the ninja.

Before long, his body was completely covered in dust, leaving only a white humanoid outline.

“Using the living as vessels for the souls of the dead.” Tobirama Senju’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I think I’ve succeeded.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the white dust on the ninja's body quickly disappeared.

Surprisingly, as the dust cleared, what was revealed was no longer the previous ninja, but a ninja wearing armor.

"Where am I?" The ninja looked around blankly.

When he saw Tobirama Senju, he was stunned, his face showing shock:

"Lord Tobirama, is that you?"

Tobirama, who was usually stern and rarely smiled, revealed a slight smile.

"Feng, it's been a long time. I'm sorry to disturb your peace..."

The person Tobirama summoned was his former subordinate, who unfortunately died in the war.

"Lord Tobirama, what happened?" Senju Kaede looked down at her body. "Wasn't I dead?"
