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

Because I haven't been able to eat delicious food, I've lost all motivation to do research.

Two months later, Lianye finally returned.

He originally wanted Lianye to prepare a meal for him, but the kid didn't come back immediately.

Just as I was about to question him about the reason, I asked him if he was hungry.

Tobirama Senju swallowed unconsciously, not giving an immediate reply.

Seeing this, the sensible Lianye put on an apron and went to the kitchen to start preparing lunch.

Sure enough, all it took was changing the subject to get away with it.

Lian Ye felt like she was a genius!

There is no one who cannot be solved if the right medicine is prescribed.

Madara Uchiha, Danzo Shimura, and Tobirama Senju were all easily subdued by him!

Soon, Lianye prepared a sumptuous feast.

Tobirama Senju, that old bastard, finally got to eat the food he'd been craving for two months.

At the dinner table, he did not mention the matter again.

Since this kid is unwilling to talk, there's no point in asking him.

Perhaps he wronged Lian Ye; it's not impossible.

Moreover, Lianye is a woman of discretion, and she must have had her own reasons for doing this.

At his age, he shouldn't meddle too much.

"Uncle, have you developed any new and powerful ninjutsu lately?"

Renya looked at Tobirama Senju across from her and thought about learning a few powerful ninjutsu for self-defense.

The old man's ninjutsu is quite good, especially those forbidden techniques that were sealed away by Uncle Hashirama.

If I learn this, I can even catch Uncle Ban off guard when we have a falling out.

After all, Madara knows the moves he's using now.

Tobirama Senju put down his chopsticks and gave him a suspicious look.

Why is this kid suddenly so eager to learn?

"We haven't developed any forbidden ninjutsu recently, but we did develop some a few years ago."

"I'll get you the scroll after you finish eating."

His purpose in developing these powerful ninjutsu was to improve the overall combat strength of the village.

The reason why development has stopped in recent years is because the eldest brother has always been secretly monitoring the situation.

"Tobirama, this ninjutsu is too dangerous, seal it away..."

As a result, they can no longer conduct research openly and honestly as before.

Since Lianye wants to learn, then let him learn.

Anyway, these scrolls will still be handed over to Danzo and sealed in the archives.

If it weren't for his older brother's interference, he could definitely have developed even more powerful ninjutsu.

However, during the years that his older brother faked his death, Tobirama Senju had developed countless powerful ninjutsu.

This is enough for the village.

After the meal, Tobirama Senju led Renya to the laboratory and took out a forbidden scroll from the safe.

"These ninjutsu techniques haven't been handed over to the village yet. After you've seen them, take them to Danzo."

"Understood, Uncle."

Lianye took the scroll and carefully placed it in her bosom.

The ninjutsu that old guy developed is absolutely powerful.

When the time comes, we'll use it to deal with Uncle Ban, and we'll definitely catch him off guard!

"If there's nothing else, you can go back now."

Tobirama Senju waved his hand; he had arranged to do research with Orochimaru that afternoon.

This kid is just getting in the way.

Lian Ye happily left with the forbidden scroll.

The Tobirama Senju residence.

As soon as Renya returned home, she saw Senju Hashirama sitting anxiously in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Lianye knew that nothing good was coming.

Hashirama is probably here again to ask about Madara's whereabouts.

When Hashirama Senju saw Renya return, his eyes lit up.

"Lianye, you're finally back!"

As he spoke, he quickly moved closer to Lian Ye, sniffed carefully, and revealed a satisfied expression.

This smell...

That's right, it's Madara's scent!

He spent over ten years alone with Madara, and easily detected Madara's presence.

Although it was very faint, it was the smell of freckles.

Hashirama Senju nervously looked around, and only after finding no one nearby did he lower his voice and ask.

"Lianye, did you secretly go to see Ban?"

There was no doubt in his tone, but rather a strong sense of certainty.

Lian Ye: "..."

Good grief, you're not even going to act anymore, are you?!

He didn't say anything, but Uncle Hashirama found out.

Whether it's open or not, only they know for sure.

Seeing that Renya didn't speak, Hashirama Senju continued to speak to himself.

"Lianye, stop lying to me. I can smell the unique scent of Madara on you, and the concentration of it means you've seen Madara more than once!"

Renya may lie, but Madara's aura does not lie!

Ban's bloodletting treatments over the years have long since made his body flow with Ban's blood.

This special feeling can't be faked!

Lian Ye: "..."

What else can I say?

I've given it all to you.

Madara, it's not that I want to betray you, it's just that Hashirama is too powerful.

In other aspects, Hashirama might be naive and innocent, but when it comes to Madara, his intelligence rivals that of Tobirama Senju.

"That's right, I did see Lord Madara."

Now that things have come to this, Lian Ye has no choice but to tell the truth.

I believe that if Uncle Ban knew the truth, he wouldn't blame himself.

"Lianye, where is Ban hiding now?"

Hashirama Senju was not interested in those trivial matters; all he wanted to know was the exact location of his best friend.

Renya remained silent, thinking to herself, "Uncle Hashirama, please stop causing trouble."

He already has enough of a headache dealing with just one old man with freckles.

If Hashirama's location were revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

There is a very high chance that Tobirama Senju will discover it...

He doesn't want to break ties with Uncle Ban right now, so his chances of winning aren't very high.

Without being 90% certain, Lian Ye didn't intend to take the risk.

Madara only wants to realize the "Eye of the Moon" plan. If Hashirama goes to cause trouble, who knows what extreme things he might do?

"I'm sorry, Uncle Hashirama," Renya said solemnly, "Madara specifically told me not to reveal his location to you!"

Madara Uchiha did indeed say that.

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju's eyes dimmed slightly, and he murmured softly.

"Ban, are you still blaming me for revealing my identity?"

He always felt that Madara didn't want to see him because his identity was exposed in Konoha, which made everyone know that Madara had faked his death.

If Tobirama hadn't discovered it, this situation might not have occurred.

Over the years, he has felt guilty and remorseful.

Lian Ye: "..."

Is this really the reason why Madara can't see Hashirama?

It seems that Uncle Hashirama is still the same naive Uncle Hashirama!

Bai Jue, who was secretly monitoring Lian Ye, overheard the entire conversation between the two.

Is this the truth?

I never expected Lord Madara to be so petty!

Chapter 448 This is a good thing!

"Lianye, come visit me sometime."

Hashirama Senju couldn't find the answers he was looking for with Renya, and could only leave dejectedly.

He accidentally revealed his identity back then, which led to Madara ignoring him.

But he believed that Ban would forgive him sooner or later.

If all else fails, I'll secretly follow Renya next time to find Ban's hiding place.

I wonder if Ban lives alone in a cave.

Hashirama Senju reminisced about the days he lived in seclusion in a cave with his best friend.

Those were his lost youth!

Unfortunately, it's all gone and can never be retrieved.

The residence of Hashirama Senju.

"Hashirama, haven't you found out Madara's whereabouts?"

Seeing her husband's dejected appearance, Mito Uzumaki guessed that he hadn't gotten any information from Renya.

Although she hated that her husband was always following Ban around, she couldn't bear to see him so upset.

"No, Renya doesn't want to tell me." Hashirama Senju smiled bitterly.

"I believe Renya will tell you Madara's location sooner or later," Mito Uzumaki said, gently holding her husband's hand.

"Thank you, Mito..." Hashirama Senju said, his face filled with gratitude.

His wife had always been there for him all those years; otherwise, he would never have been able to spend so many years with Ban.

Now that he has finally returned to the village, his wife is still worried.

To be honest, he felt guilty about it; he really wasn't a good husband.

"Hashirama, take a look at this." Mito Uzumaki pulled a letter from her sleeve.
