While tidying up, he muttered to himself:

"I'm speechless. Am I a nanny? I finally get a day off, and I still have to come over and bring you food."

Tobirama Senju watched Renya pack silently without saying a word.

P.S.: I'm really exhausted, please give me some energy to recover...

Chapter Ninety: An Unexpected Encounter with an Old Classmate

Lianye walked down the street carrying a food box, while vendors around her shouted their wares.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous village, he couldn't help but sigh, "Konoha has really developed now!"

The village wasn't this lively a few years ago.

Nowadays, many merchants come to Konoha to do business, and the village's facilities have been upgraded.

All of this is thanks to the Thousand Hands Brothers' governance of the village.

Especially Hashirama; if he hadn't stood up to end the war, where would we see such a peaceful scene now?

If only Hashirama's body were still at its peak.

In this way, peace can be maintained for a considerable period of time.

Come to think of it, it had been quite a while since he had seen Uncle Hashirama.

Lianye planned to go home, wash the dishes, and then go check on the other person's health.

"Lotus Night Lord?"

Just then, a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts.

Lian Ye looked in the direction of the sound and saw two figures standing not far away, staring straight at her.

Nara, wearing a green Chunin vest, showed a hint of surprise on his face. "It really is you!"

A few steps away, Hinata Yuuki's long hair fell over his shoulders, and Renya's figure was reflected in his white eyes.

Lian Ye noticed their somewhat disheveled appearance and said with a smile:

"You just got back from a mission?"

Nara Honya's vest was tattered, clearly from being pierced by a sharp blade.

Hinata Yuuki's clothes were stained with several patches of mud.

Lian Ye remembered that Bi Wang was a germaphobe and would never get himself dirty except when he was on a mission, so she easily guessed that the two of them had just returned from a mission.

Upon hearing this, both of them nodded in agreement.

"Renya-kun, it's really a surprise to see you in the village." Nara Honya clicked his tongue, looking quite amused.

The Lotus Night Squad is notoriously lazy in the village!

He's either on a mission or on his way to one.

As a result, they didn't see Lianye and the other two for a long time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi organized several class reunions, but these three never attended even one of them.

They headed to the Thousand Hands clan's territory, only to be told that Lianye had gone out on a mission and they didn't know when she would return...

As time went on, people stopped inviting Lianye and the others.

There's nothing I can do; even if I invite people, they're not home.

Moreover, each squad needs to carry out missions, so they naturally have less time to see each other.

Of course, all of this is because of the Lotus Night Squad.

Because they were so competitive, the other ninjas were naturally unwilling to fall behind and wanted to catch up with the Renya Squad, so a fierce competition ensued.

The number of missions carried out by ninjas in recent years has increased many times over compared to the past.

Back then, a Jonin only needed to complete two B-rank missions a month to meet their performance target.

If you can't complete five B-rank missions a month, do you still have the nerve to call yourself a Jonin?

Tobirama Senju, as the Hokage, was naturally pleased with this situation and even specifically praised the ninja teams that completed a high number of missions.

With the encouragement of the Hokage, the nuclear-powered donkeys worked even harder.

This is one of the reasons why the village has developed so quickly.

Hearing Nara Honya's complaint, Renya chuckled and said, "Our team isn't taking on any missions right now, so you can come visit us if you have time."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in Hyuga Yuuki's eyes.

That expression seemed to say: Is this really something Uchiha Renya would say?

"Renya-kun, you didn't offend some important figure outside, that's why you're afraid to go out and accept missions, right?" Nara Honya asked.

In his view, it was impossible for Lian Ye not to accept the mission.

There's only one truth: they've offended some big shot, so they've returned to the village to lay low for a while.

Hinata Hiroki's eyes lit up. He felt that Naramoto was right; this possibility was indeed quite high.

Lian Ye's lips twitched, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

As expected of a Nara clan member, he's got a sharp mind.

Just one sentence is enough to guess the truth with a high degree of accuracy...

Seeing that Renya did not refute, Naramoto also showed an expression of "I knew it."

"Lotus Night Lord, can you tell us who you've offended?"

If the Lianye Squad dared not leave the village, the person they offended must be extraordinary.

Could it be a shadow from another village? Or perhaps the name of the daimyo prefecture?!

Just as he was lost in thought, Lian Ye's words made him freeze in place.

"It's nothing serious, just offending the Uchiha clan head, Uchiha Tanaka."

Hyuga Yuuki's eyelids twitched violently. "You've offended the head of the Uchiha clan?"

For him, who had been instilled with the concept of obeying rules since childhood, Lian Ye's actions were simply outrageous!

As a member of the Uchiha clan, he actually offended the clan leader.

He could already picture the tragic future Lian Ye would face within the clan.

Wait, Renya seems to live in Senju...

Nara Honya gaped in shock and exclaimed, "Renya, are you not planning to stay in the village anymore?!"

"So what if he offended Uchiha Tanaka? What's the big deal?" Renye curled her lip in disdain.

Upon hearing this, the two looked at Lian Ye in disbelief.

An absurd idea simultaneously popped into their minds.

Could it be that Renya has become so powerful that she no longer takes the Uchiha clan leader seriously?!

For a moment, the expressions on their faces were somewhat complicated.

Are these still the classmates I went to school with?

Renya had no idea what the two were thinking. If he were really powerful enough to not take Tanaka seriously, that guy would already be a corpse.

The reason he was not afraid of Uchiha Tanaka was because he was confident in his own strength, plus the protection of Senju Tobirama.

If he is truly no match for Tanaka, Tobirama Senju will definitely appear to save him.

However, Renya didn't think she was no match for Tanaka.

The highly toxic substance he developed is so potent that once someone is poisoned, no one can help them.

Unless it's a future Tsunade, perhaps she can create an antidote.

Even if it were made, it wouldn't make a difference, since that girl calls herself "uncle."

Lian Ye noticed the two of them standing there blankly and asked in confusion:

"What happen to you guys?"

Why are you suddenly spacing out?

Upon hearing this, the two of them suddenly came to their senses.

"Renya-kun, you're getting stronger and stronger." Nara Honya's expression was complicated.

Hinata Yuuki didn't speak, subconsciously pursing his lips.

"What are you saying? Haven't I always been very strong?" Lian Ye said with a smile, "I'm going back now. Come visit me when you have time."

With that, he picked up the food box and turned to leave.

Renya still needs to go home to wash the dishes, and then go visit Hashirama Senju.

He didn't have time to continue talking to the two of them.

After all, I still have to cook dinner tonight, and I don't know if that old bastard Tobirama Senju will come back for dinner.

If he doesn't come back, he'll have to deliver food to him.

The two stood there, watching Lian Ye's figure disappear around the street corner.

"Yuuki-kun, are you confident you can beat him?"

"maybe……"

Chapter Ninety-One: The Hokage's Personal Chef

The residence of Hashirama Senju.

Before Renya even stepped into the courtyard, she heard Hashirama's hearty laughter.

The powerful voice made it hard to believe that the owner of the voice didn't have much time left.

In the courtyard, Hashirama Senju sat cross-legged in front of a stone table, a gentle yet sly smile on his lips.

The tabby cat was fast asleep on his shoulder.

Tsunade's chubby little hands tightly gripped a pouch embroidered with a cat pattern. She stood on tiptoe, pouting, and leaned over the table, her eyes fixed on the dice cup on the table.

"I'm sure I'll win this time!" Tsunade bit her lip and forcefully lifted the dice cup. "Four, two, three!"

Her voice held a hint of anticipation, but when her gaze swept over the dice in front of Hashirama, her face instantly fell.

In front of Hashirama, three sixes lay neatly in a row.

"Hahaha, Tsunade, a bet's a bet." Hashirama's hearty laughter echoed in the courtyard. He reached out and ruffled Tsunade's bun. "Hurry up and give me the money."

Tsunade stomped her foot in frustration, took out copper coins from her embroidered cat-patterned pouch, and slowly placed them one by one into Hashirama's outstretched palm, muttering to herself:

"Grandpa must be cheating, how come I always lose?"

She played several rounds with her grandfather, but never won.

She's almost gambled away all the pocket money her grandma gave her.

Thinking of this, Tsunade stared at Hashirama with her watery eyes.

Hashirama Senju put the copper coin into his pocket and chuckled as he gently pinched Tsunade's nose.

"This isn't cheating, it's experience. When you grow up, you'll be as good as Grandpa, and then you can win all of these back."

"I understand, Grandpa!" Tsunade nodded seriously.

She firmly believes that as long as she keeps gambling, one day she will be as good as her grandfather!

"Tsunade, don't let Grandma know about this," Hashirama couldn't help but remind her.

He dared to teach Tsunade how to gamble only when Mito was away from home.

If Mito finds out by accident, he'll be finished.

"Don't worry, Grandpa," Tsunade patted her chest, "I won't let Grandma know. It's a secret between us!"

Seeing this, Hashirama nodded in satisfaction.
