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

“This is a ninjutsu I researched…” Tobirama explained.

"As expected of Lord Tobirama, he was able to invent such a powerful ninjutsu!"

Senju Kaede gaped in shock and couldn't help but praise:

"If the clan chief knew, he would be very happy!"

The clan leader he mentioned was Hashirama Senju.

Upon hearing this, Tobirama's lips twitched, but he did not respond.

My older brother absolutely mustn't find out about this!

Playing with the soul of the dead is a grave disrespect...

Just as Senju Kaede was about to say something more, he saw Tobirama forming hand seals. Before he could react, the Impure World Reincarnation was dispelled.

He could only stare blankly as his impure body slowly dissipated.

"Farewell, Lord Tobirama..."

Tobirama Senju said irritably, "Can't you say something auspicious?"

"Haha, I'm sorry, Tobirama-sama."

As Feng's body dissipated, the laboratory fell silent.

Tobirama Senju took out a scroll and began to write on it, then closed the scroll again.

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique has been successfully developed. Next, we can research ninjutsu that can be used in conjunction with the Impure World Body..."

The body reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation is not subject to the limitations of ordinary life, possesses unlimited chakra, does not feel tired, does not need to eat, and does not need to rest.

If deployed in war, they would be an undead army that never dies.

If it were to learn specialized ninjutsu, its power would only increase!

The more Senju Tobirama thought about it, the more excited he became, and he took out paper and pen to write and draw on it.

Since his older brother isn't home right now, no one can stop him from researching ninjutsu.

He couldn't wait for his older brother to stay away for a while longer, preferably until he finished his research before returning.

Just as he was engrossed in the experiment, he suddenly sensed a familiar chakra.

Tobirama Senju stopped what he was doing, his lips twitching.

"Why is my older brother back at this time?"

Chapter Seventy-Five: The Village is in Your Hands

"Brother, you are back."

Upon sensing the chakra of the two, Tobirama Senju immediately ended his experiment and went to the gate to greet them at the Konoha gate.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was still afraid that his elder brother would find out about his manipulation of the souls of the dead.

After all, the Impure World Reincarnation is not like other forbidden techniques; frankly, this ninjutsu is somewhat cruel.

If my older brother finds out, he definitely won't let him off easily.

So he went to the door to greet him immediately, which would dispel his elder brother's suspicions to the greatest extent possible.

"Haha, Tobirama, I'm back!" Hashirama's hearty laughter rang out.

I haven't seen my younger brother for a while, and I miss him terribly...

"Brother, why have you been gone for so long?" Tobirama couldn't help but complain.

At first, he thought his older brother would only be gone for three to five days and then come back, but he never expected that he would be gone for more than three months.

If he hadn't known his elder brother's strength, he would have thought the other party had met with misfortune.

"Sorry, it took a little time on the way," Hashirama said, his gaze unconsciously falling on Renya.

Seeing this, Lian Ye lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.

Five days ago, he snatched the map and led the way, but accidentally went astray again.

What should have taken only two days to arrive took five days.

After taking the wrong turn twice, Lian Ye realized that there was really something wrong with the map!

The map is drawn crookedly and the route is so abstract, who in their right mind could understand it?

Renye had wondered why Uncle Hashirama was able to understand it.

However, he quickly realized that Uncle Hashirama must know the general route, so it didn't matter whether he looked at the map or not.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have wasted money buying a map; having Uncle Hashirama as a human navigation tool would have been enough.

He wondered if he could find the owner later and return the map.

If it can't be found, then these three hundred taels will be wasted...

Tobirama noticed his elder brother looking at Renya and couldn't help but feel curious.

Could it be that my brother's late return was related to Lian Ye?

If that's the case, then this kid really helped him a lot.

"Tobirama, nothing has happened in the village lately, has it?"

Hearing his elder brother's question, Tobirama said, "Don't worry, elder brother, the village won't be in chaos with me here."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama chuckled and said, "I feel at ease with you here."

Tobirama frowned subconsciously; he felt there was something strange about his older brother's words.

He couldn't help but say, "Brother, now that you're back, I'm leaving the village affairs to you."

Hashirama paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. "Tobirama, I should have retired long ago. You should become Hokage."

"Brother..." Tobirama opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself, finally letting out a sigh, "I understand."

He had long anticipated this day, but he never expected it to come so soon.

Since his elder brother was injured, he has been handling the village affairs on his behalf.

Tobirama held onto hope that his elder brother's injuries would fully heal.

He conducted numerous experiments, but none of them were effective.

Therefore, he could only pin his hopes on his older brother's abnormally strong recovery ability.

But his older brother's decision just now made him realize that this injury would never heal...

Hashirama patted Tobirama on the shoulder and said softly, "Tobirama, the village is in your hands now. Don't let me down."

Then, he turned to look at Lianye and said with a smile, "Little Lianye, I'm going back now. Come over and play with Tsunade when you have time."

"Yes, I will go." Lian Ye nodded.

"Haha, I've been quite tired lately, it's time to go back and rest." Hashirama left with a smile.

The two stood there, watching Hashirama's figure disappear into the distance.

"Uncle Hashirama's chakra... is getting weaker and weaker," Renya murmured softly.

He had been with Hashirama for the past few months, so he naturally noticed the changes in Hashirama's body.

He simply wouldn't ask unless Hashirama brought it up himself.

Tobirama remained silent, his red pupils reflecting his elder brother's silhouette.

As the sun finally dipped below the horizon, the last rays of its rays stretched the shadows between the pillars long and thin.

The man who once ended the war with the power of Wood Release is now like the setting sun, every inch of his brilliance being devoured by darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, it was completely dark.

Tobirama Senju turned to look at Renya, his voice hoarse: "Kid, let's go back."

Lian Ye nodded and silently followed behind.

The two remained somewhat silent throughout the journey.

The Tobirama family's house was located behind the Hashirama family's house.

As they passed by Hashirama's door, they heard Hashirama and Tsunade laughing in the courtyard.

--------

The Tobirama Senju residence.

Since Tobirama Senju returned, he has locked himself in his study.

He looked at the wall covered with experimental data, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"Is there really no other way?"

Just then, Lian Ye's voice came from outside the door: "Uncle, it's time to come out for dinner."

"Well, I see."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama put away the documents, then opened the door and went out.

Neither of them spoke at the dinner table.

Tobirama Senju ate his meal by himself.

Although his older brother's situation had made him lose his appetite, Lian Ye's cooking was a different story; it was truly appetizing.

I have to say, it's been a while since I've had this kid's cooking, and I kind of miss it...

Eating delicious food gradually calmed Tobirama's slightly agitated mood.

He broke the silence at the table and looked at Lian Ye: "Tell me, where have you been all this time?"

He was very curious as to what had caused his older brother to be delayed on the road.

Lianye put down her chopsticks and recounted her experiences over the past period.

He simply chose to selectively conceal the fact that he had gotten lost twice...

It's best not to let that old bastard know about this embarrassing thing.

After the meal, Tobirama Senju cleared the table of dishes by himself.

Lian Ye went to the training ground to train, as the path to becoming stronger was imminent.

He knew that given Hashirama Senju's current physical condition, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

Once Hashirama Senju dies, Konoha will lose its powerful deterrent force.

In this way, those countries that covet the Land of Fire will not hesitate to launch a war.

Although Lian Ye's current strength is sufficient to avoid major problems on the battlefield as long as she remains cautious, the stronger she is, the greater her chances of survival will be.

He will try his best to make up for the three months he wasted.

At some point, Tobirama Senju leaned against the door, silently watching Renya train.

This kid is really hardworking...

He had originally planned to study Lian Ye tonight, but seeing that the kid had just returned, he gave up the idea.

This kid needs to get some rest, right?

Tobirama Senju is not an unreasonable person.

Thinking this, Tobirama glanced at Renya and returned to his study.

Lianye, who was training, had no idea that she had luckily escaped a disaster...

P.S.: I'm five minutes late, sorry.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Danzo's Great Joy

"Kid, where are you going?"

Lianye put on her vest, organized her ninja tool bag, and fastened Wugou to her waist.

As soon as I stepped out of the house, I ran into Tobirama Senju.
