After dinner.
Renye stood up and headed toward his room without even saying goodbye.
Perhaps it was the influence of the original owner's personality, but Renye simply could not bring himself to grovel before Tobirama Senju.
On the contrary, he instinctively loathed him.
After all, the original owner's parents had died at the hands of the Senju Clan!
The hatred between the two sides was precisely the root of the war between their clans.
Seeing this, Tobirama Senju's face darkened as he said coldly, "Brat, can't you wash the dishes?"
Renye waved a hand indifferently without looking back.
"Uncle, your cooking is so awful, and you still want me to help wash the dishes? Keep dreaming!"
Tobirama Senju instantly blew up. Gone was his usual composure as he roared, "Brat, what do you mean by that?!"
He admitted that his cooking was not particularly good, but it was not that bad, was it? This brat was definitely picking a fight on purpose!
The Uchiha Clan was the most detestable, and even their brats were no exception!
Renye turned his head and looked at his furious expression, speechless.
"Alright, alright. I'll wash the dishes today, okay?"
His tone was like he was soothing a child.
He had only made an offhand remark. Why was this guy getting so worked up?
He was already so old, yet he still could not control his temper...
Tobirama Senju: "???"
He stared blankly as Renye picked up the bowls and chopsticks from the table and headed for the kitchen, Renye's words continuously replaying in his mind.
After quite a while, he finally came back to his senses and looked at Renye's small figure busily working in the kitchen with embarrassment and irritation.
Had Tobirama Senju just been comforted by a brat?!
The sink was rather high, while Renye was only a pitiful 1.2 meters tall. He could not reach it at all and had to stand on a chair to wash the dishes properly.
That was also the real reason he did not want to wash dishes...
After washing the dishes, Renye dried his hands with a towel and walked into the living room.
At that moment, Tobirama Senju was pretending to read the book in his hands.
He had been observing Renye's movements the entire time.
When Renye arrived, he did not even raise his head. "Once you're done washing up, you can return to your room."
Renye ignored him, curled his lips, and said disdainfully,
"White-haired uncle, your cooking is truly hard to describe. From now on, I'll cook, and you wash the vegetables."
Tobirama Senju looked up at Renye, his eyes filled with doubt.
"You know how to cook?"
Not long ago, this kid had said he could not cook. Now he was saying he would handle the cooking.
Heh, as expected of an Uchiha Clan brat!
He really knew how to play tricks!
"I originally wasn't planning to cook... but I had no choice. Your cooking is just too terrible, so I can only do it myself." Renye sighed.
Tobirama Senju's cooking really was not much to speak of. It was not even as good as Renye's.
"Fine. I don't like chili peppers," Tobirama Senju said. "Don't put chili peppers in the food from now on."
"Who cares about you? I'll add chili peppers if I want. Eat it or don't." Renye curled his lips and walked toward his room.
The corner of Tobirama Senju's mouth twitched. Watching Renye leave, he was furious.
"Damn Uchiha brat!"
If not for Elder Brother forcing him, would he have adopted this brat?
"No, I have to convince Elder Brother!"
As soon as he spoke, Tobirama Senju's figure vanished from the spot.
After returning to his room, Renye did not immediately begin cultivating.
He needed to rest for a while after eating. He lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
"I was living perfectly well... so how did I end up being adopted by Tobirama Senju?" Renye looked troubled.
He truly could not understand why those Uchiha people had agreed to this.
As a transmigrator, Renye knew that the war between the Uchiha and Senju had lasted for more than a thousand years, beginning in the era of Asura and Indra.
Yet under such circumstances, the Uchiha had still agreed to let the Senju adopt him.
Wasn't that utterly absurd?
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
Although Tobirama Senju would not make a move against Renye, he did not like living under constant surveillance.
With the strength of that old man Tobirama Senju, would monitoring Renye not be effortless?
Thinking that his future life would have no privacy at all made Renye rather depressed.
"Forget it. No point thinking about it. I'll take things one step at a time."
Renye rolled off the bed, sat cross-legged on the floor, and began refining Chakra.
As long as he was strong enough, no one could do anything to him.
With that thought, he began refining with his full attention.
Although Renye was only six years old, his Chakra reserves already far surpassed those of Uchiha his age. If he had any ninjutsu to learn right now, he would have started learning ninjutsu already.
Renye estimated that with his current Chakra reserves, casting two C-rank ninjutsu would be easy.
He had transmigrated to the Shinobi World without any system and could only rely on his own efforts.
Perhaps because he was a transmigrator, Renye's physical energy and Spiritual Energy were much stronger than those of children his age. Coupled with the soul of an adult, he naturally understood the importance of strength.
He did not demand much strength. Having enough power to protect himself would be enough.
After all, not long after Hashirama Senju died, the First Shinobi World War would break out. Even someone as strong as Tobirama Senju would die in that war, much less Renye...
The Uchiha were a major Konoha clan. If war truly broke out, they would not only be unable to stay out of it, but would also have to charge into battle.
Not to mention Renye's status as Tobirama Senju's adopted son.
By then, even if he did not want to go, others would drag him onto the battlefield.
Unless Renye was useless, devoid of any ninja talent, and could only be an ordinary person.
But reality was that Renye's ninja talent far surpassed that of his peers. As long as he worked hard at cultivation, becoming a Jonin was practically guaranteed. Even reaching Kage level was not impossible.
Thinking of this, Renye cultivated even more earnestly.
He had already transmigrated and gotten such an incredible start. If he did not work hard, would that talent not go to waste?
Forget punching Kaguya and kicking Six Paths Madara; at the very least, he needed to survive the coming ninja wars, right?
By the time Tobirama Senju returned dejectedly, it was already the middle of the night.
Judging from the weariness on his face, there was no need to guess the outcome.
He had argued his case with Elder Brother in the Hokage Office for several hours, until his lips were nearly worn out.
Yet Elder Brother had no intention of relenting and had even forcefully demanded that he take care of Renye until he came of age...
Tobirama Senju felt as though the sky had fallen.
He had spent less than an afternoon with that Uchiha brat and had already been angered half to death. At the thought of spending more than ten years with him, he found it hard to breathe.
"Damn brat. If I'm miserable, don't think you'll have it easy either!"
Tobirama Senju's gaze flickered as though he had thought of something, and a crazed smile appeared on his face.
He was clearly up to no good.
He looked toward Renye's room and noticed that the light was still on. The corners of his lips rose slightly.
He entered the kitchen, and before long, he arrived outside Renye's door holding a cup of milk. "Brat, open the door!"
Renye was cultivating inside. Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's voice, he looked puzzled.
What did Tobirama Senju want from him in the middle of the night?
With that confusion, he opened the door.
Tobirama Senju was holding a cup of hot milk. He handed it to Renye. "Drink the milk and get some rest early."
Renye was somewhat bewildered. He had no idea what Tobirama Senju was up to. Why was he suddenly bringing him milk? Had his conscience finally awakened?
He subconsciously accepted the milk and said thank you.
"Drink it quickly. I'll take the cup back," Tobirama Senju urged.
Renye said nothing, drained the milk in one gulp, and handed the cup back to him.
Tobirama Senju accepted the cup and reminded him, "Get some rest early."
With that, he turned and left.
Renye watched Tobirama Senju's departing back with a puzzled look. "What is that old man up to now?"
Unsolicited kindness usually hid ulterior motives.
But after thinking about it for a long time, he still could not figure out Tobirama Senju's purpose.
In the end, he shook his head and lay down to sleep.
Maybe Tobirama Senju had really grown a conscience...
Not long after Renye fell asleep, Tobirama Senju appeared outside the window with a meaningful smile.
"Hehe, damn brat!"
If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. Maybe it was just renamed!
