Konoha's Legacy Master

"Dingling, dinging, dinging..."

In the evening, a breeze blew the wind chimes hanging on the window.

The setting sun slanted on the window lattice, and the warm red rays penetrated the glass and dyed the side of Hatake Kabuto's face red.

At this time, Kabuto Hatake was sleeping soundly in Nonou's arms and rubbed his head comfortably.

Perhaps the sound of the wind chimes was too loud, so Hatake Kabuto woke up from his sleep and slowly opened his eyes.

What caught my eye was Nonoyu’s gentle smiling face.

"You're awake. It seems like you fall asleep easily when listening to stories."

Kabuto Hatake sat up with a confused look on his face and murmured: "I...how long have I slept."

Nonoyu pointed outside and chuckled: "It's almost night."

Kabuto Hatake was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the sunset outside the window.

"Have you slept for so long...

It seems like I haven’t slept so soundly for a long time.”

Nonoyu stretched out his hand and put it on Hatake Kabuto's head, gently rubbed his hair and said:

"You have to understand that you are still a child, so you don't need to speak so deeply."

Kabuto Hatake nodded, looked directly into Naiyu's eyes and said, "Thank you, I haven't fallen asleep listening to a story for a long time."

Nonoyu smiled softly and said: "If you like, I can read you stories often."

Kabuto Hatake looked at Nonoyu, slightly absent-minded.

The image of my mother in my memory seems to gradually overlap with the current Nonoyu.

But when I think that Nonoyu has been included in Uchiha Tunan's death list, I feel a little uncomfortable.

He immediately suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, stood up and walked towards the door.

"It's getting late, I have to go."

"Wait a minute."

Nonou stopped Kabuto Hatake, came to him, reached out and took off his glasses.

He breathed into the lenses, wiped them with a tissue, and gently put them on Kabuto Hatake.

Finally, he put his hands on Kabuto Hatake's shoulders, looked at him intently and said:

"You can see clearly when you wear it like this.

But you look like a little adult like this."

The distance between the two is slightly closer.

Hatake Kabuto not only did not reject it but felt very relieved in his heart.

Just staring into Nonoyu's eyes, he subconsciously said:

"You are a bit like my mother..."

After saying that, he turned around with a somewhat lonely expression, opened the door and walked out.

Nonoyu leaned out of the door and shouted to Kabuto Hatake who was going downstairs:

"Aren't you here for dinner? It's so late anyway."

Hatake Kabuto paused, turned his back, shook his head and said:

"No, I have to go back to the clan house with my husband tonight.

I need to help with the cleaning."

An hour later.

The setting sun sinks into the back of the distant mountains, giving the mountains a golden edge.

But when the door of the orphanage opened, Kabuto Hatake pushed Uchiha Tunan in a wheelchair out and walked towards the Uchiha clan.

The leaving figures of the two people were reflected on the glass bulb of a streetlight at the end of the street.

The closer you get to the Uchiha clan, the deserted the streets become.

"True or false, well done."

Uchiha Tunan flicked his fingers gently, using the vibration of the air to isolate the two people from the sounds of the surrounding environment.

Kabuto Hatake pushed the wheelchair with an expressionless expression and said calmly:

"Thank you sir.

This task is not difficult in the first place.

I don’t know what you would do if it were you.”

Uchiha Tunan raised his eyebrows slightly and said leisurely:

"Me?

If it were me, I would capture her directly.

Because I don’t have to worry about everything that will happen next.

Even if someone finds out, I can easily suppress it.

But when there is no absolute strength, these methods are very necessary.

I ask you to deal with her today just to let you experience it personally.

As my status increases, many spies will use you as a breakthrough point to spy on my intelligence.

I don’t want you to mess with others and ruin my business in the future.”

Kabuto Hatake raised his head and looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice:

"Really...

Actually, I don’t think she has any ill intentions towards me.”

As soon as he said these words, Uchiha Tunan knew that Kabuto Hatake was soft-hearted.

But seeing Uchiha Tunan's eyes lowered, he whispered:

"Many people believe that the face comes from the heart, and this is not unreasonable.

But in nature, danger often lurks in seemingly beautiful things.

But I can tell you for sure that she does not have any ill intentions towards you.

But if you continue to contact each other, you will bear the consequences."

Kabuto Hatake nodded and said, "I understand."

Uchiha Tunan shook his head and said with a slightly cold tone:

"It will take you a while to really understand.

I said you did a good job because you had a good attitude towards executing the orders I gave you.

This task can be said to be very simple.

But judging from the afternoon you spent together, you were almost completely defeated.

The first step in espionage is to establish a good impression and get closer to the target person.

And now you have a good impression of her.

You really want me to take my attention and let her live.

You know that this may be trivial, but you still can't hold it back.

Your emotions suppressed your reason just now, didn't you?"

When Kabuto Hatake heard this, his pupils flickered slightly, but he still said expressionlessly:

"Sir, if you didn't point it out, I really didn't notice it.

Her ability is indeed stronger than mine. I have always been vigilant, but I finally relaxed."

Uchiha Tunan closed his eyes, leaned on the wheelchair and said leisurely:

"While she was washing dishes in the kitchen.

Didn't you notice she opened a new bottle of dish soap?

There's a special spice added there to soothe the nerves.

She smoothly applied it on her hair.

The whole process of getting along with her.

How should you talk when you are only thinking about defense?

But she takes into account the weather, temperature, medications, and your remembered habits.

After you fall asleep, she can naturally hold you.

Physical contact will subconsciously eliminate your vigilance towards her.

And she keeps substituting your mother’s identity into your subconscious mind.”

Kabuto Hatake stretched out his hand to push up his glasses and said calmly: "Is that so... I will pay attention to it in the future."

Uchiha Tunan knew Kabuto Hatake's current state.

He heard what he said just now, but he didn't.

To be honest, Nonoyu alone is not worthy of Uchiha Tunan's efforts.

The real key point of the task assigned to Hatake Kabuto this time is Hatake Kabuto.

The first is to determine the true value of Hatake Kabuto.

The second is to use the people Hatake Kabuto cares about most in the original work to see if there are any unexpected gains.

Although Uchiha Tunan is a staunch atheist, this world has extraordinary power, and perhaps there really is a hidden destiny.

This is also the reason why Uchiha Tunan asked Hatake Kabuto to contact Nonou alone.

The value of Hatake Kabuto is still worthy of Uchiha Tunan wasting almost a day's time.

After all, in the original work, he was valued by Orochimaru, and he was able to master the Ryūchi Cave Immortal Technique. His talent can be said to be one in a million.

Now he has the blessing of the curse seal given by Uchiha Tunan, and has the possibility of awakening the Kaleidoscope.

So Uchiha Tunan wanted to see if his experimental assistant had edible value.

Everything depends on Kabuto Hatake's performance tonight.

Under the dim sky, Uchiha Tunan's low voice could be heard in Hatake's ears.

"As long as people have cares and emotions, they will have weaknesses.

The only way is to cut off emotions and maintain rational thinking at all times.

Your mission is not over yet..."
