Konoha's Legacy Master

Konoha's enthusiasm gradually subsided at two or three in the morning.

It was getting very late, and the forest in the distance was shrouded in a layer of darkness, which seemed to be spreading towards the village.

The lights of each house in Konoha Village were extinguished one after another, and the whole village returned to silence.

The streets were deserted, with only a few pigeons chirping on the eaves, and the world seemed to have fallen into a dead silence.

Shizune dragged her tired body back to the deserted ancestral home of the Thousand Hands Clan.

"Porpoise~"

"Porpoise~"

In the dark corridor on the second floor of the ancestral house, the draft at night actually made people shiver.

Shizune looked around and called a few times cautiously, but there was no response.

In the entire corridor, except for the echo of the mute voice and the "dong-dong" sound of shoes on the floor, there was no sound.

Shizune carefully groped and moved in the darkness.

In this environment, Shizune seemed to be able to hear her heart pounding.

As a woman, Shizune is not very courageous, so she is inevitably afraid of the dark.

I want to turn on the lights in the hallway, but I don’t want to get up and turn them off later.

After all, because of Tsunade's gambling, the two of them basically had no money in their pockets.

Mute naturally developed the habit of frugality.

"Gugu~"

Several black bird shadows suddenly passed outside the corridor, shocking Shizune's instinct.

A bad premonition suddenly arose in my heart.

The heartbeat is getting faster and faster.

"Porpoise~"

"Porpoise~"

There was a little sweat on Shizune's head, and she started to get a little anxious, calling anxiously all the way.

I came to the bedroom where I lived and reached out my hand to fumble for the light switch on the wall.

Soon, Mute touched the switch.

The lights are on and the room is empty.

The room was warmer than outside. Looking at the familiar decorations in the room, Shizune breathed a sigh of relief.

Being in a bright environment, Shizune's slightly tense nerves relaxed.

"This guy, I don't know where he went to play again."

Shizune complained and closed the bedroom door.

He came to the window again, closed the window tightly, and drew the curtains.

Finally, I looked at the tight room. I don’t know why, but I still feel a little frightened.

Maybe it’s because women are naturally timid.

Shizune didn't dare to turn off the light, so she just lay on the soft bed and started to rest.

"Gugu~"

"Gugu~"

"Wow~"

There was a gust of wind outside, which made the trees in the courtyard rustle and disturbed the birds resting on the trees.

Perhaps because she was worried about Tsunade, Shizune tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

In the end, I just lay on the bed, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling and counting sheep.

"One sheep, two sheep, three sheep..."

The strong incandescent light was a bit dazzling, making Shizune look a little blurry.

She closed her eyes and wanted to shift her gaze elsewhere, but she was always a little scared in her heart.

Even though she stayed in the room, her heart was still not at peace.

I started to fantasize about whether there would be someone else in the room, or whether there would be any dirty things invisible to the naked eye.

I kept thinking about various scenarios in my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became.

After a while, Shizune decided to keep staring at the chandelier.

At least this will give you a sense of security.

"Huhu~"

The wind picked up again, and it seemed like someone was pushing the window hard, making a loud rattling noise.

Because the ancestral house is too old, many parts have decayed. When the wind blows like this, there is a clanging sound everywhere.

"Zizzizi~"

The light seemed to have a problem with the circuit, so it flickered feebly for a few times and finally went out.

The whole room fell into deathly darkness.

Only the curtains still have window-shaped light and shadow outlines.

"Gulu~"

Shizune swallowed subconsciously and retracted her feet into the quilt, letting the warmth brought by the quilt help stabilize her mood.

I don’t know how long it took, but the wind noise outside seemed to have subsided and was no longer as noisy as before.

Shizune yawned, feeling sleepy, and slowly fell asleep.

In the hazy moment, Shizune was awakened by a strange sound.

As a basic ninja, Shizune judged that the sound came from downstairs.

It's just that the sound seems a bit small, and you can't hear it if you don't listen carefully.

Shizune stood up quietly, then knelt beside the bed and slowly lowered her head.

Put your ear against the floor and listen to the sounds coming from below.

"Shua~"

"Shua~"

This is...

It sounds like the sound of kunai rubbing together.

Did someone break in?

Shizune's eyes narrowed, and she stood up quickly, ready to go to the first floor to find out.

However, when Shizune was just about to take action.

Suddenly a scene flashed through my mind, and I was stunned for a moment.

He slowly leaned down, staring directly at the bottom of the bed, and slowly poked his head down.

Suddenly, Shizune's pupils shrank suddenly, and her body seemed to be mechanical.

I saw a string of pearl necklaces lying quietly under the bed.

Damn it!

Shizune grabbed the pearl necklace in her hand, stood up suddenly, pushed open the door and ran towards the first floor.

The pearl necklace has been worn around Dodo's neck from beginning to end, and Shizune has never seen Dodo take it off.

But now that the necklace is left under the bed, it is very likely that someone has entered his room before and captured the dolphin hiding under the bed.

The necklace probably fell to the ground when Doudou was struggling.

The circuits in the entire ancestral house seemed to be out of order, and the light switch in the corridor would not turn on no matter how much Shizune pressed it.

Soon, Shizune went down the stairs to the corridor on the first floor in a dark environment.

But what's strange is that the room across the corridor has lights on.

And this room is directly below my bedroom.

This is...the kitchen.

Shizune took out her kunai and carefully followed the innermost part of the corridor to the kitchen door.

Shizune held her breath and observed that there was a slight gap in the kitchen door.

Dangjie quietly moved his head over, wanting to observe the situation inside through the crack in the door.

However, the moment Shizune's eyes came to the crack of the door, the lights in the kitchen instantly went out, leaving Shizune's eyes in darkness and unable to see anything.

"Bah, bah, bah..."

At this moment, a creepy chewing sound came from inside.

Shizune was about to open the door and rush in.

Suddenly!

A bloodshot eyeball appeared on the other side of the crack in the door, staring straight into Shizune's eyes.

Shizune's mind went blank for a moment, and the necklace and kunai she was holding fell to the ground.

I wanted to scream but found that something seemed to be blocking my throat and I couldn't scream.

"Ah!"

Then a shrill scream sounded.

Shizune suddenly sat up straight from the bed.

"Gugu~"

"Gugu~"

"哐啷哐啷...."

There are constant sounds of birds chirping outside the house, and the sound of strong wind blowing the windows.

Shizune's whole body was soaked in sweat at this time, and she kept breathing heavily.

He turned his head and glanced at the curtains that reflected the outline of the window.

Shizune breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, a pale smile appeared on her face, and she laughed at herself:

"It turned out to be a nightmare, it scared me to death."

After saying that, I completely relaxed, closed my eyes, and lay down on the bed.

Shizune, who had been in a tense state of mind, felt extremely comfortable at this time, and turned over lazily, with her back to the window.

Suddenly!

Shizune's eyes widened suddenly.

I saw a figure standing next to my bed.

The figure mechanically held a long knife and looked at him quietly.

Shizune recognized the person in front of her through the dim light coming in through the window.

Uchiha Tunan!

I saw that Uchiha Tunan's face was completely pale, with no trace of blood.

The twisted face seemed to have a strange smile, and he slowly raised the long knife.

Shizune felt as if her blood had become cold and stiff, and her whole body had lost consciousness.

I can only watch helplessly as the long knife pierces my abdomen, and then slides slowly...

This feeling...

It's like the specimens on the operating table are being dissected.

"Crunch crunch~dong dong dong~"

In the kitchen on the first floor, Uchiha Tunan ignored the violent vibrations coming from the ceiling above his head.

I am concentrating on spreading the boiled sake on the golden and crispy headless roast suckling pig.

After pouring the sake, Uchiha Tunan calmly tied the white napkin around his neck, picked up the knife and fork and started to enjoy.

Cut off a small piece of meat and put it in your mouth and chewed it a few times.

Uchiha Tunan frowned slightly, shook his head and said:

"It smells less fishy than before, but the ingredients are a bit too fatty."

Although the taste is not very good, it is a rare ingredient after all.

In line with his thrifty nature, Uchiha Tunan ate up the roasted suckling pig in one bite.

Not to mention, I didn’t feel greasy or nauseated after eating.

On the contrary, there is a feeling of lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth and endless aftertaste.

"High-end ingredients..."

Uchiha Tunan murmured.

Then he took off his napkin and gently wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth.

The only pity is that there is only wine and no tea.

Do not scrape oil after meals.

By this time, the vibrations on the ceiling had gradually subsided.

Uchiha Tunan's mouth curled up slightly, he shook his head with a chuckle, stood up and started clearing the table.

After all, if you come uninvited and have a feast at someone else's house, you have to clean up and leave without leaving any trace.

Uchiha Tunan poured the leftovers into the trash can and carefully wiped every corner of the kitchen with paper towels.

Make sure no traces are left.

After cleaning up, Uchiha Tunan picked up the garbage in the trash can and turned off the kitchen lights.

Everything seems so natural, as if you are at home.

When you reach the electrical main switch at the end of the corridor, you take out various tools from your tool bag and start to connect the previously short-circuited lines.

At this time, Uchiha Tunan no longer seemed to be a ninja, but a professional electrician.

The movements of the hands are very fast, as if they are extremely skilled.

This corresponds to that sentence.

Having many skills does not overwhelm the body.

These densely packed wires can make others dazzled just by looking at them, and they can't tell the difference from beginning to end.

But Uchiha Tunan is like a fish in water, everything flows smoothly.

All lines will be restored to their original state.

Uchiha Tunan was finally done. He put away his tools, picked up the garbage bag and left.

In a quiet alley, a group of stray dogs huddled next to a trash can to keep warm.

They are hungry and cold, and they are making whining sounds.

According to the rules, as long as they can survive until early tomorrow morning, someone will take out the garbage and throw it away.

In this way, they can dig up some food to satisfy their hunger.

Suddenly, the noses of these stray dogs twitched slightly, as if they smelled something, and they stood up in unison.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley.

The moment the figure appeared, the group of stray dogs fled towards the alley, hiding at the other end of the alley and watching the figure from a distance.

Uchiha Tunan glanced sideways at these poor stray dogs, and then looked at the trash can in the alley.

Throw the garbage bag in your hand gently and drop it accurately into the trash can.

The alluring aroma wafted into the noses of these stray dogs, and the scent overflowed from their mouths and dripped onto the ground.

In the end, these stray dogs could not resist the temptation and ran to the trash can and jumped in one by one.

The next moment, the sound of tearing and chewing echoed in the narrow alley.

When Uchiha Tunan saw this, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he whispered softly: "Happy New Year."

After saying that, he tightened his windbreaker and strode towards the Uchiha clan.

The next day.

Sunlight shines into the room through the corner of the curtain, like a light pillar standing in the room.

Shizune turned over on the bed.

Subconsciously blocking the light with his hand, he frowned and opened his hazy eyes.

My mind paused for two seconds, and then I felt that all the cells in my body were clamoring for pain.

"What's going on?"

Shizune endured the pain and sat up, stretched out her hand to press her temples and shook her head, trying to shake the pain out of her head.

But it didn't help, and it even made the pain more severe.

The memories of last night come to mind in bits and pieces.

"What a terrible nightmare."

Shizune looked at the ray of sunshine that shone into the room infatuatedly, and suddenly felt a sense of alienation in her heart.

He looked down at his sweat-stained clothes and murmured: "Is it because the nightmare lasted too long, causing the body's instinct to tense up for too long?"

Thinking that she still had to take care of Tsunade, Shizune planned to change into clean clothes before going to Konoha Hospital.

But when Shizune came to the closet and was about to open it.

Suddenly, the man standing next to his bed with a strange smile in his dream last night came to mind.

Immediately I couldn't help but feel a chill running down my spine, my hands were trembling slightly, and I was a little afraid to open the closet.

I have already imagined in my mind that when the closet is opened, the man in the dream will be standing inside.

"Hoo~"

Shizune took a breath and shook her head to get rid of the random thoughts in her mind.

How could it be possible? It was just a nightmare, not real. Stop thinking about it.

After thinking about it, I comforted myself several times in my heart before I mustered up my courage again.

Then open the closet.

I saw rows of clothes hanging in an orderly manner in the closet. It was not the boring scene I imagined.

Shizune breathed a sigh of relief, and her anxious heart was finally relieved.

So he laughed at himself and said: "It turns out that I am so timid without Tsunade-sama."

After a while, Shizune changed her clothes and was about to take away the sweat-smelling clothes.

But for some unknown reason, he shifted his gaze to the bottom of the bed.
