“Who is it?!”
The sudden voice made Uchiha Tanaka’s body stiffen.
He quickly retreated, instinctively putting distance between them.
When he turned around and saw the owner of the voice, the cold sweat on his face instantly poured down.
Uchiha Tanaka’s face was pale, “Hokage, why are you here?”
This was the Uchiha Clan Estate’s meeting hall. How did this guy sneak in so silently…
It was a good thing the other party had no ill intentions, otherwise he wouldn’t even know how he died.
Senju Tobirama was expressionless, with no intention of explaining.
He had long ago carved a Flying Thunder God Mark on Tanaka, and he came this time specifically to warn him not to scheme against Renye.
“Uchiha Tanaka, I’m warning you one more time, don’t you dare scheme against Renye again; he is now a member of my Senju Clan!” Senju Tobirama said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tanaka’s pupils sharply contracted.
He hadn’t expected that traitor had really joined the Senju!
No wonder Senju Tobirama was so angry…
Tanaka’s face grew increasingly unsightly, and he clenched his fists in unwillingness.
This meant he truly had no way to act against Renye.
“Uchiha Tanaka, I hope you don’t do anything out of line.” Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes slightly, his killing intent undisguised.
“Otherwise… I really won’t be able to resist killing you!”
If it were a conflict between juniors, he naturally wouldn’t interfere.
But Uchiha Tanaka shamelessly got involved, so he naturally wouldn’t let him mess around like this.
Feeling Senju Tobirama’s intense killing intent, Uchiha Tanaka’s face instantly turned white.
He suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the notorious executioner from the Warring States Period!
Many strong individuals in his clan had been brutally murdered by him.
Even Lord Izuna was defeated by his hands…
“I… I understand, Hokage-sama.” Uchiha Tanaka nervously swallowed.
He currently had no time to dwell on Senju Tobirama’s rude behavior, fearing that this guy would kill him.
Senju Tobirama felt it was enough and began to rein in his killing intent.
But a pair of Yuhi eyes still stared intently at the other party.
Uchiha Tanaka dared not meet Tobirama’s gaze and instinctively lowered his head.
“This is my final warning to you. Renye is my adopted son, and I absolutely will not allow anyone to scheme against him.” Senju Tobirama said, “Uchiha Tanaka, did you remember?”
“I… I understand, Hokage-sama.” Uchiha Tanaka tremblingly agreed.
As time passed, he had begun to forget Senju Tobirama’s terror.
Only today did he remember how terrifying he was…
Senju Tobirama saw this and nodded with satisfaction.
It was useless to reason with the Uchiha; one could only deter them with powerful strength.
He had clearly understood this from Uchiha Madara back then.
Madara had used his powerful strength to make his clansmen submit…
Every Uchiha was very arrogant; to command them, one could only rely on one’s own powerful strength.
Uchiha Tanaka noticed that Senju Tobirama remained silent, and cautiously raised his head, but where was his figure in the room?
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, “It seems I can’t target that Kid anymore…”
Although he was very unwilling, it could only be this way.
At least for a short time, there would be no opportunity to act.
——————
Hokage Office.
“I hope that guy remembers my warning.” Senju Tobirama said.
He absolutely would not allow anyone in the Village to harm Renye.
Since this boy had joined the Senju, he naturally had to protect him.
This was his duty, and what he should do…
In his opinion, Renye could die on a mission, but he absolutely could not die from a comrade’s machinations.
Such a thing absolutely could not happen!
For a Village to last forever, it must be united against external threats.
If internal strife occurred, then decline would not be far off.
Thinking of this, he began to take out paper and pen and started writing.
He wanted to write a book on how to govern the Village, so that future Hokage would know how to manage the Village efficiently.
“Uncle, it’s time to eat.”
Just then, Renye pushed open the office door.
He saw Tobirama deep in thought and instinctively lowered his voice, fearing he might disturb his thoughts.
Tobirama looked up at the sound, and his originally stern expression unconsciously softened a few degrees the moment he saw Renye.
“You’ve worked hard, Kid.”
He put down his pen and rubbed his somewhat sore neck.
He had been too focused on writing and hadn’t noticed the passage of time; it was already noon.
Renye opened the food box, and exquisite dishes were neatly placed on the table, one by one.
There was golden, crispy tempura, vibrant green, tender cold mixed vegetables, and a steaming bowl of miso soup with a rich aroma.
He realized that Senju Tobirama had been accustomed to eating this kind of food since childhood, so he specifically made him a Japanese lunch.
“The weather is relatively hot, so I made some light and appetizing dishes for you.” Renye explained with a smile.
Senju Tobirama looked at the Japanese dishes on the table, somewhat lost in thought.
It had been a long time since he had eaten this kind of meal.
In the past, Renye’s cooking was mainly spicy.
Although it tasted good, he still preferred the food in front of him.
This was a matter of one’s dietary habits, and it was almost impossible to change.
Tobirama looked at the sumptuous lunch before him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
Ever since he became Hokage, he had been constantly bogged down by numerous government affairs, often too busy to eat and only able to rely on soldier pills from his drawer to fill his stomach.
Renye’s appearance was like a touch of tranquility in this noisy world, always bringing him hot meals when he was hungry.
He was truly glad he adopted this Kid back then…
“Uncle, why are you spacing out? Don’t you like these dishes?” Renye asked, puzzled, seeing Tobirama not picking up his chopsticks.
He couldn’t help but mutter: This Old Man wouldn’t have gotten too used to Chinese food and can’t eat Japanese food anymore, right?
“If you don’t like it, wait a moment, I’ll go back and make something new.”
Hearing this, Senju Tobirama finally came back to his senses and quickly shook his head, “No need, Renye, I like these dishes very much.”
Saying that, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to enjoy his lunch.
Renye didn’t rush to leave, planning to wait for Tobirama to finish eating and take the food box with him.
This Old Man always found excuses not to wash dishes, so now he had to wash them.
Senju Tobirama ate very elegantly and quickly.
In less than ten minutes, all the dishes on the table were eaten, yet the tabletop remained clean and orderly.
Tobirama wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
“You Kid, your cooking skills are getting better and better.”
Renye heard this and pouted, “Uncle, you’re purely eating too many soldier pills, that’s why you think my cooking skills have improved.”
It seemed that during the time he was away, this Old Man had been quite hungry.
Senju Tobirama: “…”
He finally managed to praise this Kid, only to be mocked.
Renye paid no attention to Senju Tobirama’s expression.
Seeing that he had finished eating, he busied himself with clearing the plates from the table.
As he tidied up, he muttered softly:
“I swear, am I a nanny? I finally get a break, and I still have to come deliver food.”
Senju Tobirama silently watched Renye clean up, saying nothing.
P.S. I can’t go on, I’m really drained. Please send power to help me recover, everyone…
