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

Worried that Renya would be angry if she saw the three-colored dumplings in his hand, Uchiha Kagami finished the dumplings in one go.

Then, mimicking what Renye had done before, he casually tossed the bamboo skewers on the ground.

Lianye: "???"

No, this is going too far!

Why can't he eat sweets anymore?

"Sorry, Renya. I have to go now. We'll talk again later." Seeing that Renya remained silent, Uchiha Kagami tactfully turned and left.

I accidentally made Lianye angry.

He will never again persuade others to do things they don't like...

Lianye watched Uchiha Kagami's hurried departure, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

"What's wrong with Jing all of a sudden?"

He was also planning to ask Uchiha Kagami about the situation at the front lines.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi's squad was different from them; their mission wasn't in the rear, but on the front lines...

But before he could ask, Uchiha Kagami left.

"Forget it, we'll see when the time comes." Lian Ye shook her head helplessly and left the shopping street with the three-colored dumplings in her hand.

--------

The residence of Hashirama Senju.

Tsunade lay on the stone table in the courtyard, staring at the dice on it, lost in thought.

The tabby cat was lazily sleeping on the table when suddenly its ears twitched, and it opened its eyes to look towards the door.

"Tsunade, it's been a long time!" As soon as Renye entered the courtyard, he saw Tsunade lying on the table.

"Uncle Lianye, what brings you here?!" Tsunade's face lit up with joy, and she quickly ran to Lianye.

"Meow~" The tabby cat came to the two people's feet and kept circling around.

Lianye looked at the tabby cat in front of her and sighed, "It's been a while since I last saw this ugly cat, and it's gotten even fatter."

"Meow meow meow!" the tabby cat cried out in dissatisfaction.

Lian Ye ignored the ugly cat, waved the shopping bag she was carrying, and said with a smile:

"Tsunade, look what this is?"

Wow, tricolor dumplings!

Chapter 114 It's Time to Start a War

Tsunade's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously swallowed.

"Uncle Lianye, is this for me?"

"Of course, take it and eat it." Lian Ye placed the packaging bag on the table.

Tsunade eagerly tore open the packaging, took out two skewers of dumplings, and handed one of them to Renya.

"Thank you, Uncle Lianye, here, have a skewer!"

Lianye didn't stand on ceremony this time and took the meatballs to eat.

"Meow meow meow~"

Tanuki approached Tsunade's feet, looking at her eagerly with longing in her eyes for the three-colored dumplings.

"Go away, go away." Tsunade waved her hand dismissively, showing no intention of sharing the food. "You should lose weight."

Grandma usually doesn't let her eat sweets, and when Uncle Lianye finally brought over some dumplings, she couldn't bear to share them with the tabby cat.

There were only five skewers in total. If one was given to Lianye, then there would only be four skewers left.

Tsunade herself doesn't have enough to eat, how could she possibly share with a cat?

"Meow meow meow~" Seeing that Tsunade was unwilling to share, Tanuki had no choice but to come to Renya's feet, rub her face against his trouser leg, and start to act cute and charming.

"You ugly cat are still as greedy as ever..." Lian Ye shook her head helplessly and put the meatball in her hand on the ground.

Seeing the raccoon dog looking completely satisfied as she ate the dumplings, Renye smiled.

Who can blame them when this ugly cat was adopted by Uncle Hashirama?

"Renya has arrived." Mito Uzumaki walked out of the house with a kind smile on her face.

"Grandma, you're awake. Would you like some dumplings?" Tsunade handed her grandmother the last half-skewer of tricolor dumplings.

Mito Uzumaki always had the habit of taking a nap. She was originally sleeping inside, but when she heard the noise in the yard, she came out.

She looked at the dumpling Tsunade offered her, smiled, and shook her head. "Grandma doesn't want any, Tsunade, you can have it yourself."

"Aunt Mito, it's been a long time," Renya greeted.

Since Hashirama Senju left, and with him on a mission at the border, the two haven't seen each other for a long time.

Mito Uzumaki smiled and nodded, replying, "It has indeed been a while. How have your missions been lately?"

After Hashirama's death, Mito became taciturn, and she was only somewhat better when she was with people she was familiar with.

She began to stay indoors, remaining in the Thousand Hands tribe's territory.

Tobirama Senju tried several times to persuade his sister-in-law to go out for a walk, but she politely declined each time.

He knew that his elder brother's death had been a great blow to his sister-in-law, so he didn't say anything more about it.

"Aunt Mito, the mission went very smoothly. I just got back from the mission and I'm going to rest for a few days," Renya said.

"Yes, get some rest. The ninja world has been quite turbulent lately." Mito Uzumaki looked worried. "I knew war would come after Hashirama left."

The peace that Hashirama spent half his life building collapsed rapidly after his death.

If Hashirama knew, he would be very sad, wouldn't he?

Seeing Mito's sad expression, Renya sighed helplessly.

He couldn't very well tell Aunt Mito that Uncle Hashirama hadn't actually died, but had just gone to find Madara Uchiha, could he?

He simply couldn't bring himself to say such a thing; he had promised Uncle Hashirama, so he could only keep it to himself.

However, he believed that Hashirama Senju would return to the village one day!

After all, Hashirama wouldn't just stand by and watch Konoha be besieged by various countries.

Given the choice between finding Madara Uchiha and protecting the village, he would absolutely choose the latter without hesitation.

In the eyes of the pillar, the village was above all things.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed Madara Uchiha to protect the village.

"Renya, you must protect yourself on the battlefield in the future," Mito Uzumaki instructed.

Hashirama is already dead, and she doesn't want Renya, whom she watched grow up, to die in the cruel war.

Mito's concern warmed Renya's heart.

"I will protect myself... Aunt Mito."

Mito Uzumaki nodded and said nothing more, sitting in the yard watching Tsunade play with the tabby cat.

Lianye stayed for a while, then took her leave.

After leaving Hashirama Senju's residence, he did not rush home but went to the laboratory instead.

With war imminent, he needs to develop an even more potent poison.

Inside the laboratory, Lian Ye stood in front of the workbench, where various bottles and jars were neatly arranged, each containing a strangely colored liquid.

Some of them were still bubbling and making a "gurgling" sound.

At this moment, he was carefully holding a straw, drawing green sap from a tube.

This viscous liquid was made by him over several months by mixing the essence of countless poisonous plants and insects collected from all over the ninja world.

He slowly dripped the green viscous liquid he had extracted into the crucible in front of him, which already contained a bubbling purple liquid.

The moment the two met, a pungent cloud of smoke rose up.

Lian Ye immediately put on a gas mask and watched as the green and purple liquids slowly merged, eventually turning into a pale blue liquid.

War is imminent, and ninja forces from various countries are gathering at the border, ready to attack the Land of Fire at any moment.

Lian Ye knew that ordinary poisons were too ineffective and could not turn the tide of the war.

Those powerful ninjas can easily resist the effects of conventional toxins by relying on their strong chakra and the unique nature of their ninjutsu.

Ninjas can refine chakra to form a chakra barrier on their body surface, which can resist or alleviate the effects of toxins to a certain extent.

Unless you cut a gash in the victim's body with a knife, the released poison gas will have little effect.

Lianye is no longer satisfied with single-target damage...

Therefore, he had to develop a more powerful and deadly poison!

A type of poison gas capable of ignoring chakra protection and directly destroying the cells of a ninja's body.

However, developing such a poison is by no means easy and will take a very long time.

But right now, what Lian Ye lacks most is time...

"I remember that the salamander has a venom sac implanted in its body, which can paralyze its opponent by releasing poison gas through its breathing."

With that in mind, he decided to catch a few salamanders to study.

Of course, Lian Ye wouldn't be so heartless as to experiment on herself.

Only Hanzo the Salamander could accomplish such a feat as implanting a poison sac into his own body.

--------

The northeastern camp, located fifty miles from the border of the Land of Fire.

The First Raikage, A, said to his guards, "Notify the Kage of each village... the probing is over. It's time to launch a war against Konoha."

He had long since grown tired of the month-long probing.

He didn't understand what the other villages were afraid of.

Without Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, Konoha was just a slightly stronger village.

It is believed that Konoha Village will not be able to hold out for long under the combined attack of the four countries.

By then, the Land of Fire's abundant resources will belong to their Land of Lightning.

Thinking of this, the First Raikage, A, clenched his fist excitedly, his body crackling with electricity.

"Victory will definitely belong to Kumogakure!"

P.S.: Typing is so tiring, I feel completely drained, sob sob.

Chapter 115 Preparing to Head to the Battlefield

After receiving the order to wage war from the Land of Lightning, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, and the Land of Earth launched a war against the Land of Fire without hesitation.

The enemy army, which had been stationed in the area surrounding the Land of Fire, began to operate in an orderly manner.

At the commander's signal, they advanced toward the border of the Land of Fire.

The Konoha ninja stationed on the border were on high alert; everyone knew that war had begun.

Commanders on each battlefield immediately issued orders.

"Inform the Hokage that all nations have launched simultaneous attacks and request reinforcements!"

…………

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

Tobirama Senju stared blankly at the documents sent back from the front lines.

"What is supposed to come has come..."

He had anticipated that various countries would launch wars against Konoha simultaneously, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
