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

Tobirama Senju adopted Renya and guided his training; surely he wouldn't become an ingrate and serve the Uchiha clan in the future.

Since he was adopted, he has had to sever ties with the Uchiha clan.

Fortunately, Lianye had no emotional connection with her family since she first arrived, and the only person she knew in the orphanage was Uchiha Shun.

"Lotus Night".

Uchiha Shun's expression was complicated.

They were originally good friends, but they had to separate for this reason.

Is our relationship truly beyond repair?

You should understand this in your heart.

Lianye looked at the guy who was half a head taller than her and wondered what he ate to grow up like that.

They're in the same grade, so why is there such a big difference between them?

“I understand, Renya.” Uchiha Shun said seriously, “From now on, we’ll be strangers.”

Although I'm reluctant to admit it, that's the truth.

After saying that, he took one last look at his former friend, then turned and left without hesitation.

"Tsk, my only Uchiha connection is gone."

Lianye sighed as she watched his departing figure.

When he was first adopted by Tobirama Senju, he would occasionally visit the Uchiha clan's territory.

No matter what, he is a member of the Uchiha clan, so naturally he would never do anything that forgets his roots.

But later, the orphanage director's attitude towards him changed, coupled with Tobirama Senju's hints.

This made him realize that he could no longer go to the Uchiha clan.

Otherwise, he'd be a traitor.

Uchiha clan territory, orphanage.

Uchiha Shun returned to his room without saying a word.

Former friends have become strangers, which is hard for a ten-year-old to accept.

He felt that when he grew up and became stronger, he would be able to become friends with Renye again.

I believe that by then no one will be able to say anything.

From then on, Uchiha Shun began to train hard in order to win back his former friend.

Several years after graduating from the ninja academy.

His strength reached the Chunin level.

Uchiha Shun was very happy about this, as he knew that if he continued to train, he would become a Jonin in just a few years.

By then, he can become friends with Renya, and he believes neither the Uchiha nor the Senju will say anything.

But things didn't go as planned.

After Uchiha Tanaka became the clan leader, he harbored resentment towards Renya, who had been living in exile.

For a member of the prestigious Uchiha clan to be adopted by their mortal enemy, Tobirama Senju, was an utter disgrace to the clan.

He began to openly and covertly threaten Renya to leave Senju Tobirama and return to his clan.

Renya, who was adopted by Tobirama Senju, was not someone who could simply leave.

Because of Tanaka Uchiha's aggressive behavior, Renya completely broke with her clan.

The clan leader has ordered that no one in the clan may associate with Lian Ye!

Shun Uchiha, who had just returned from a mission with his squad, felt like the sky had fallen.

Are you kidding me?

If Lian Ye has broken ties with his family, what was the point of all those years of striving to become stronger?!

Late at night, in the woods.

"Lian Ye, what exactly happened between you and the clan leader?"

Uchiha Shun finally found an opportunity to meet with Renya and couldn't wait to ask her the reason.

"It's nothing. That old bastard Uchiha Tanaka has gone mad and is trying to make me leave Senju Tobirama and return to the clan."

He was also very helpless about the Uchiha clan leader's sudden outburst.

It's true that most purebred Uchiha have some psychological issues.

Instead of talking to Tobirama Senju, she came to threaten him.

That's just inexplicable self-confidence...

Why is this happening?

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shun muttered to himself, looking completely bewildered and at a loss.

"Then we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lian Ye interrupted him.

"We'll be strangers from now on. The best thing will be if we don't fight when we meet in the future."

Seeing his former companion's resolute expression, he felt a mix of emotions.

Is this really the only way?

Uchiha Shun left, utterly dejected.

He doesn't actually have many friends in his family; teammates are teammates, and friends are friends.

His only friend was Lianye.

Unfortunately, for various reasons, they gradually drifted apart.

No, this can't be done!

Uchiha Shunshun believed that as long as he worked hard to become stronger, he would one day be able to openly become friends with Renya again.

He then devoted himself even more diligently to cultivation.

Unfortunately, his talent was limited, and once he reached the level of a Jonin, it was difficult for him to improve further.

The effort has reached its limit.

The First Shinobi World War broke out, and Renya quickly ended the war with her powerful strength and poison techniques.

He became a hero in the village after that.

Uchiha Tanaka dared not target Renya any further, but ordered his clansmen not to have any contact with her.

Shun Uchiha was not as strong as the clan leader, so he was forced to avoid contact with Renya.

However, he learned that Renya cooked for Tobirama Senju every day, so he often waited at the market in order to find an opportunity to meet him.

Whenever he has free time, he wanders around the farmers' market.

But he couldn't always run into Lianye, yet he never gave up.

This continued for about ten years.

Until the Second Shinobi World War broke out.

Shun's squad was ambushed, but at the critical moment, Renya appeared and killed the enemy.

After several years, they were able to speak again.

"Thanks……"

He was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent.

He thought he was going to die there, but was saved by his old friend.

I can't even describe how surprised and delighted I was.

"Your injuries are quite serious. Go back to camp and rest. Leave the rest to me."

After giving her instructions to the group, Lian Ye left.

Uchiha Shun stared blankly at his departing figure, reluctant to look away for a long time.

He knew in his heart that the two of them would never have a chance to be friends again.

They are no longer people of this world.

His previous injuries greatly diminished his strength, and he did not continue to be a ninja after the war ended.

Instead, he opened a barbecue restaurant in the village.

The barbecue restaurant had only been open for a few days.

Renya then brought Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others to hold a victory celebration banquet.

Uchiha Shun's gaze kept falling on Renya, and he suddenly felt that this kind of life wasn't so bad after all...

Every now and then, Lianye would bring her friends to the barbecue restaurant for a meal.

Although the two didn't have much contact, they always managed to exchange a few words because they were boss and customer.

Later, Uchiha Tanaka abdicated, and Uchiha Kagami became the clan head.

In fact, Uchiha Shun envied Uchiha Kagami because he could openly and legitimately interact with Renya.

Unlike him, who could only watch silently, unable to do anything about it.

In fact, he could disregard his family's opinions.

But he had too many concerns, and naturally he was too ashamed to be friends with Lianye anymore.

Chapter 54 Uchiha Shun Dies

In the autumn of the thirty-fourth year of Konoha.

Uchiha Shun's barbecue restaurant has been closed for several days.

The first person to notice something was wrong was the owner of the grocery store next door.

Every morning when she opened the door, she could see that the barbecue restaurant's shutter door was tightly closed, and this had been the case for five days in a row.

This had never happened before. The owner of the barbecue restaurant was a hardworking man who had never closed down without a reason all these years.

The Tobirama Senju residence.

Lianye lay on the chair, half-closing her eyes as she basked in the sun.

The autumn sun is not strong; it shines warmly on you, making you feel drowsy.

After lying down for a while, just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard Uchiha Kagami's voice coming from the doorway.

"Lian Ye? Are you there?"

Why are you here?

Lianye opened her eyes and asked, still lying motionless in the chair.

I was just passing by and thought I'd drop by to see you.

Uchiha Kagami walked over and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard.

"Is the Uchiha clan leader so free?"

"No matter how busy I am, a little while won't make a difference."

Uchiha Kagami smiled, but the smile wasn't as natural as usual, and there seemed to be something hidden in his eyes.

Lian Ye glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions.

The two of them, one lying down and the other sitting, were quiet.

A breeze blew through the courtyard, carrying a faint fragrance of osmanthus blossoms; I wonder whose garden they were.

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Kagami suddenly spoke.

"Renya, have you been to Shun's barbecue restaurant recently?"
