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

Although he was reluctant to leave, his dream had been realized.

Leaving like this isn't so bad; the rest is up to Tobirama.

However, Hashirama believed that Tobirama could handle everything.

"Ban, I've come to find you..."

boom--

Just then, a loud bang came from outside.

Lianye kicked open the courtyard gate and went straight into the house.

Looking into the boy's bloodshot eyes, Hashirama forced a bitter smile onto his pale lips: "Renya, you still came."

Actually, he didn't want Lian Ye to see him like this.

Tsunade turned around and hugged Renya's leg, crying loudly:

"Waaaaah... Uncle Lianye, Grandpa seems to be dying!"

"Aunt Mito, could you please take Tsunade away first?" Renya's voice was low. "I have something to discuss with Uncle Hashirama."

Mito hesitated for a moment, but seeing the boy's serious expression, she nodded and pulled Tsunade away.

Seeing the two leave, Lianye set up a barrier to prevent people outside from hearing.

He only intended to tell Hashirama about this.

Sometimes, the more people know about something, the worse it is...

When Tobirama Senju, who had rushed over, saw the barrier inside the room, he suddenly frowned.

"What is this kid trying to do?"

What exactly Lian Ye wanted to say to her elder brother was something even they had to be wary of.

Although he had doubts, he was still willing to believe Lianye.

"Renya, what do you want to say?" Hashirama asked weakly.

All he wanted to do now was get rid of Renye as soon as possible and catch up with Ban.

If there were a Pure Land, I could apologize to Madara.

"Uncle Hashirama, are you really planning to leave like this?"

Renya stared directly at Hashirama Senju with her crimson Sharingan.

In Hashirama's eyes, Renya's figure gradually overlapped with Madara's, and in a daze, he seemed to see his deceased best friend.

He murmured softly, "Ban, I'll be with you soon."

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye frowned.

It was obvious that Hashirama had already resolved to die.

However, we finally found the reason...

Renya's tightly furrowed brows relaxed as she looked at Hashirama, who was ignoring her.

He's going to try a different way of speaking.

A way to make Hashirama listen...

"Uncle Hashirama, do you really think Madara Uchiha is dead?"

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju suddenly opened his eyes, and his dim eyes suddenly shone.

He struggled to sit up in bed, his eyes fixed on Lian Ye.

What did he just hear?

Renya seemed to be saying that Madara was not dead!

The once decaying body seemed to have regained its vitality.

"Lian Ye, what do you mean by that?!"

P.S.: Actually, I wanted to kill off Hashirama, but seeing that everyone was against it, I'm going to try a different approach...

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hashirama's Request

Seeing Hashirama Senju's excited expression, Renya revealed an "I knew it" look.

He knew that Uncle Hashirama's physical condition was not yet beyond saving.

He just wanted to give up.

When the mind can no longer bear the immense pain, the body will share the burden of the indigestible emotions.

This is what people often refer to as a serious illness after experiencing a setback.

Hashirama is in this situation...

He was unable to recover from the grief of killing Madara Uchiha.

In addition, he suffered quite serious injuries in the battle with Madara.

Over time, health problems naturally arise.

This is because Hashirama has strong physical abilities. If it were anyone else, under such repeated blows, they would be buried with grass growing three meters high.

"Lianye, you're saying Madara isn't dead?!"

When Senju Hashirama saw Renya stop speaking halfway through her sentence, he became so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

If my body hadn't prevented it, I would have gotten out of bed and asked him long ago.

Ever since he killed Madara, he has been immersed in immense pain every day.

Whenever he recalls that day, he feels a heartache so intense he can hardly breathe.

Spotted blood splattered on his body, hot and glaring.

They were close friends who dreamed of a peaceful future and played together, skipping stones on the water.

But now it has come to a point where it is a matter of life and death. Where exactly did things go wrong?

Hashirama suddenly raised his hand, looking at his slightly trembling fingertips, recalling the scene of them stained with blood, as if it were an indelible piece of evidence.

"spot……"

He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse and barely audible, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face, blurring his vision.

If only Madara hadn't died, just like Renya said...

Wait, Lianye?!

Hashirama looked up at Renya and asked urgently, "Renya, are you telling the truth?"

This was the third time he had asked.

This time, Lianye answered his question.

"Uncle Hashirama, Madara Uchiha is not actually dead."

Upon hearing this, a golden light appeared in Hashirama's eyes, and his originally pale face gradually turned rosy.

"Ren... Renya, how did you know?" Hashirama's breathing was heavy, his gaze fixed on Renya.

When a normal person hears something like this, their first reaction is to question it.

After all, Madara Uchiha was killed by Hashirama Senju himself.

How could he not know whether Madara was dead or not?

However, Hashirama did not question it; he seemed to genuinely believe Renya's words.

This can't really be called believing; Hashirama simply took Renya's words as his hope to continue living...

If Madara hadn't died, he wouldn't have needed to rush down there.

At the very least, we should wait until Hashirama personally finds Madara and apologizes to him.

"Uncle Hashirama, do you know Izanagi?" Renya asked.

Upon hearing this, Hashirama's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had realized something.

He certainly knew about the Izanagi technique.

This is a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan, which existed as early as the Warring States period. The Uchiha would use this technique in battle.

He had personally witnessed a member of the Uchiha clan come back to life at the cost of losing an eye.

After questioning Madara, it was learned that this was a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan.

Madara had told him that only a few Uchiha clan members knew how to use this technique.

Although Hashirama didn't ask Madara if he knew the technique, he knew Madara must have learned it!

If what Renya said is true, and Madara used Izanagi...

Thinking of this, Hashirama Senju excitedly sat up in bed.

"Bandit might not be dead!"

Renya was startled by Hashirama's appearance.

Holy crap, what's going on?!

He was just thinking about how to convince Hashirama to believe him.

Before he could even speak, he saw the other person jump out of bed.

He had completely changed from his previous sickly appearance and became full of energy.

If Mito Uzumaki and Tobirama Senju, who were outside, were to witness this scene that could be described as a medical miracle, they would be absolutely astonished!

He had no idea that Hashirama had already filled in the blanks in his mind.

Hashirama reached out and placed his hands on Renya's shoulders, his face full of gratitude: "Thank you, Renya!"

If Lian Ye hadn't reminded him, he would never have thought of this until his death.

If Madara hadn't died, wouldn't his death have been in vain?

Thinking of this, Hashirama felt a lingering fear.

Renya looked at him strangely, "Uncle Hashirama, don't you doubt the truth of my words?"

No, Hashirama's heart is way too big!

Do you not have any doubts at all?

If it were Tobirama Senju, he would immediately question the veracity of his words, the likelihood of this happening, and analyze Madara's motives for faking his death.

Then, just to be on the safe side, they would definitely go and dissect Ban's body.

As a result, Hashirama didn't utter a single word of questioning...

Renya decided to give Hashirama a heads-up first, to make him believe that Madara was really still alive.

Otherwise, he won't be able to find the spots and will think he's being lied to.

This leads to a broken heart and a doubt about life.

Unable to withstand the blow, Gaba died instantly.

Faced with Renya's question, Hashirama Senju was stunned.

He didn't seem to question the veracity of Lian Ye's words.

For some reason, his heart started racing when he heard Renya say that Madara was not dead.

A deep feeling told him—Madara really wasn't dead!

This feeling is like being connected by blood...

Seeing that Hashirama remained silent, Renya was somewhat speechless.

This guy is really stubborn!

There was nothing he could do but ask himself the question.

"The reason why Madara Uchiha wanted to destroy Konoha was because his ideals differed from yours. You both held your own opinions, which led to this situation."
