As a proud Uchiha, how could he allow an outsider to touch his head?

If this gets out, doesn't Uchiha Renya have any dignity?!

"Oh right, I haven't asked your name yet." Mito Uzumaki suddenly realized that she hadn't asked Renya's name.

"My name is Uchiha Renya." Renya looked at Mito. "Auntie, what's yours?"

Mito Uzumaki smiled slightly: "Little Renya, my name is Mito Uzumaki, you can call me Aunt Mito."

Lianye nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Aunt Mito, I still need to train."

Lian Ye started to drive people away. He didn't have time to argue with them now; he needed to become stronger as soon as possible.

As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to refine his chakra.

Seeing this, Mito Uzumaki's pretty face was full of surprise; she hadn't expected Renya to send her away.

“What an interesting little rascal,” she said with interest.

Now I finally understand why Tobirama came to complain; Renya is indeed different from other children.

In that case, Tobirama is going to suffer a lot.

Seeing Lian Ye diligently cultivating, she slowly stood up and left the courtyard.

After Mito Uzumaki left, Renya opened her eyes and stared thoughtfully in the direction where she had disappeared.

----

The residence of Hashirama Senju.

"Brother, I'm begging you, can you please send that child away?" Tobirama Senju pleaded.

Tobirama Senju, who is known for his composure and calmness, actually has such a humble side.

If someone who knows him well saw this, they would be absolutely shocked...

Lately, the thought of having an Uchiha brat in the house has made him feel uncomfortable doing anything.

"Tobirama, you must learn to be tolerant and accepting," Hashirama Senju said earnestly.

He really hoped that his younger brother could get along well with Lianye, and ideally, build a bond with her.

This way, perhaps Tobirama will stop hating the Uchiha.

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "..."

He came here as soon as he got up, hoping that his elder brother would retract his decision, but no matter what he said, his elder brother was unwilling to budge.

At that moment, Mito Uzumaki entered the house.

Seeing this, Tobirama Senju quickly looked to Mito and asked for help:

"Sister-in-law, please persuade my brother!"

Since persuading the elder brother didn't work, then we'll ask the elder sister-in-law for help.

When it comes to family status, you still have to look to the eldest sister-in-law.

Once the sister-in-law speaks, the eldest brother is nothing but a nobody; he can only obediently agree!

However, Mito's next words completely stunned Tobirama Senju.

"Tobirama, I've met Renya. I think your older brother is right. Get along well with that child."

"Hahaha, Mito is right!" Hashirama Senju laughed.

Tobirama Senju: "???"

He hadn't expected it to turn out this way.

For a moment, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

Tobirama Senju did not know how he left.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law, following each other's lead, unanimously decided that they would adopt Lianye until she came of age.

The thought of his future life made Tobirama Senju feel a wave of dizziness.

What a joke!

Chapter Eight: Living Expenses?

It's approaching noon.

Renya checked the time and guessed that Tobirama Senju would be back soon.

He simply moved a chair over and sat in the yard to wait for the other person to return.

As for why Lianye doesn't cook?

The reason is simple: we're out of food at home.

Last night, Tobirama Senju said he would go buy it today, but judging from his appearance, it seems he has forgotten.

"I wonder what that old guy is busy with every day? He's always leaving early and coming home late..."

Lian Ye rested her chin on her hands, looking utterly bored.

He's been here for three days, and apart from mealtimes, he's hardly seen Tobirama Senju. It seems the other man is intentionally keeping his distance.

"Heh, do you really think I want to live with you?" Lian Ye curled her lip in disdain.

Both the Uchiha Elder and Hashirama Senju have spoken.

If he had a choice, why would he want to live with Tobirama Senju?

Not long after, Tobirama Senju appeared at the door.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw Lian Ye sitting in the courtyard, and asked, "Little brat, is lunch ready?"

Lian Ye rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "How are we going to cook if we don't have any ingredients at home?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju suddenly remembered that he needed to buy ingredients.

I was so focused on persuading my older brother this morning that I forgot about this whole thing.

Seeing Lian Ye's resentful gaze, he coughed lightly and explained:

"I've been quite busy lately and forgot about it."

"Heh, you're just the Hokage's brother, not the Hokage himself. What's there to be busy with... You probably just crawled out of some female ninja's bed, right?" Lianye muttered under her breath.

After training all morning, he was starving.

I was thinking of cooking a delicious meal to treat myself, but when I got to the kitchen, I found that I had no ingredients left.

He was just a little kid with no income and no money to buy groceries, so he could only endure his hunger and wait for Tobirama Senju to return.

Seeing that Tobirama Senju seemed completely unaffected, Renya naturally felt resentful, wondering where the old man was having a good time.

Tobirama Senju's lips twitched, and he forced back his anger, saying, "I'm not cooking today. I'll take you out to eat."

It's too late to cook now. If we let this kid cook, he might say something outrageous.

He, Tobirama Senju, had lived an honest and upright life for half his life, only to have this brat spread rumors about him in the end. No one could stand that.

Lian Ye's eyes lit up, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "In that case, we have no choice... I want to eat barbecue."

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "..."

----

Konoha Village Commercial Street.

Before long, Tobirama Senju brought Renya to a barbecue restaurant with a fragrant aroma wafting from it.

The enticing aroma of meat filled the restaurant, causing Lian Ye's Adam's apple to bob and her mouth to water unconsciously.

After traveling through the ninja world for several months, my living expenses were only enough for daily meals, and even those were the most basic foods. I simply didn't have any spare money to eat barbecue.

Tobirama Senju led Renya to a corner seat, where the enthusiastic owner quickly came over and handed them the menu.

Tobirama Senju sent the menu to Renya and said, "You can order."

Lianye took the menu and ordered more than a dozen plates of barbecue without any hesitation, including signature beef, tender pork belly, pork kidneys... and finally added a few plates of vegetables.

Tobirama Senju stared blankly at the scene, then asked in surprise, "You ordered so much, can you finish it all?"

"Don't worry, we can finish it," Lian Ye said.

What he ordered was roughly enough for three adults.

I originally wanted to order a few more plates, but then I thought better of it. It would be a waste if we couldn't finish them. I'll wait until we've eaten them all.

Seeing Renya's confident expression, Tobirama Senju remained silent, but he was incredibly curious: did the Uchiha clan really have such a large appetite?

Soon, the sizzling grill was brought to the table. The bright red slices of meat curled up and changed color instantly upon contact with the high temperature, splattering oil and releasing an even richer aroma.

Tobirama Senju picked up his chopsticks and methodically turned the slices of meat over.

Lian Ye crossed her arms and watched with great interest, occasionally offering a comment.

Despite his calm demeanor, he was actually starving.

Lian Ye looked at the fragrant roasted meat and swallowed hard without making a sound.

Even if you're starving, you can't show it. That's what makes a proper Uchiha!

"It's almost done cooking." Tobirama Senju placed the grilled meat onto Renya's plate.

"I can pick it up myself," Lian Ye said, picking up a slice of meat and putting it in her mouth.

As the grilled meat entered her mouth, Lianye immediately showed a satisfied expression.

This barbecue is so delicious!

At this moment, he no longer cared about the arrogance of the Uchiha clan, and put slices of grilled meat into his mouth one by one, occasionally letting out a satisfied hum.

Tobirama Senju silently observed Renya's every move, and was shocked when he saw Renya finish all the grilled meat on the table at an extremely fast speed.

That wasn't all. Feeling still not full, Lian Ye waved her hand and ordered several more plates of grilled meat from the owner.

Tobirama Senju: "???"

How come he didn't notice before that this kid could eat so much?

"Burp~ I'm full." Lian Ye patted her stomach, looking satisfied.

He thoroughly enjoyed the barbecue.

Meat definitely tastes better.

Tobirama Senju subconsciously glanced at Renya's slightly protruding belly.

Isn't this too outrageous?

How did this little brat manage to fit all this food in his stomach?

Lianye ate enough food for five people.

Keep in mind, he's only a six-year-old little rascal!

Tobirama Senju was starting to have an existential crisis. Was this really just a kid?

Looks like I'll have to investigate tonight why this kid can eat so much...

At this moment, Renya was unaware of what Senju Tobirama was thinking; he was happily savoring the aroma of the grilled meat.

I wish I could eat barbecue more often.

"Uncle White Hair, it's time to pay the bill." Renya noticed that Tobirama Senju was still staring at her and reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju finally snapped out of his daze and called the shopkeeper to settle the bill.

The two then left the barbecue restaurant together.

Just as he stepped out, Tobirama Senju suddenly remembered something, took out a wad of cash and handed it to Renya, saying indifferently, "This is for your living expenses. I have to go now."

After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Lian Ye was left staring at the thick stack of banknotes in her hand, speechless for a long time.

After a long pause, he put the money in his pocket, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Heh, this old guy is quite interesting."
