The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand had just reached halfway when he suddenly stopped.

It was only a sense that Uchiha Tonan's small body was emanating a considerable amount of chakra fluctuations.

Could it be...?

A hint of surprise flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

Legend has it that the Uchiha clan is most likely to awaken their Sharingan when their emotions are in a state of intense fluctuation.

Uchiha Tonan's current situation fits this description perfectly.

If the Sharingan truly evolves, then this child's potential could rival Kakashi's.

He's only six years old.

To avoid interrupting the potential evolution of Uchiha Tonan's Sharingan, Hiruzen Sarutobi withdrew his hand and watched silently from the side.

Before long, the ground beneath Uchiha Tonan was covered in tears, and the chakra fluctuations emanating from his body gradually stabilized.

Seeing that the time was right, Hiruzen Sarutobi gently patted Tonan Uchiha's back.

"Yotobu and Nanako sacrificed themselves for the village, and the village will remember them forever."

What you need to do now is pull yourself together, carry on their legacy, and protect the village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words of comfort were very effective; as soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tonan stopped crying.

She wiped away her tears with her hand and slowly raised her head.

What catches the eye is the bright red Sharingan, and the three tomoe surrounding the pupils.

[Chapter 10: Selecting Ninjutsu to Construct an Illusion]

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tonan Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan, outwardly displaying an expression of empathy, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

This is truly a wonderful tool that God has given me.

"Lord Hokage, please don't worry about me." Uchiha Tonan slowly stood up.

He took a deep breath, then forced a smile at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said:

“I have pulled myself together and I will carry on my parents’ wishes and protect the village.”

With the war raging now, you must have many things to attend to. If there's anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and nodded, saying:

"It's good that you can understand. When I received this news, I was very worried that you wouldn't be able to handle the blow."

"The Will of Fire will need your protection in the future."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted Uchiha Tonan's head.

Uchiha Tonan looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a deeply moved expression, seemingly struggling to suppress his grief, and sobbed, "Hokage-sama..."

"Take good rest these next few days, and remember not to neglect yourself. If you need anything, you can come to the Hokage Building to find me anytime," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a kind expression.

Uchiha Tonan nodded, turned around, and left the Hokage's office, glancing back every few steps.

After Uchiha Tonan left, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to his seat, took a drag of his cigarette, and said with narrowed eyes, "What a promising talent. He's more suited to inherit the Will of Fire than Minato. It's just a pity he was born into the Uchiha clan."

"We've lost several positions, this is a bit troublesome. Should we rotate the frontline troops?" Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered.

After all, almost all those who opposed Kirigakure were from the Uchiha clan, and the new clan leader, Fugaku Uchiha, was in charge.

As is well known, the Uchiha clan excels in Fire Release and Genjutsu, making them naturally vulnerable against Kirigakure.

But after thinking for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi abandoned his plan to switch the army.

"Let's see how things go after a while. Judging from the situation, these few local wars should be last-ditch counterattacks, and the war should be over soon."

Suddenly, the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open, and Shimura Danzo walked in with a cold face.

"Hiruzen, I heard that a genius has appeared in the Uchiha clan, who has awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "Danzo, don't do anything rash."

Danzo coldly said, "The Root personnel have suffered heavy losses and need to be replenished. Once this Uchiha Tonan graduates, you should hand him over to me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "This child's personality is not suitable for Root."

Danzo snorted and said, "Hiruzen, are you doubting my methods of managing subordinates? No matter what, this person comes from the evil Uchiha clan."

Either nip it in the bud, or keep it firmly under your control.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head again, his tone firm: "Danzo, I have my own plans. You can choose from other Root members."

This surprised Danzo. He hadn't expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to refuse him, just because of a mere genius with a three-tomoe Sharingan.

Danzo said with a slight hint of dissatisfaction:

"What kind of genjutsu did that Uchiha brat use on you that you're protecting him like this? Don't forget he's from the Uchiha clan."

"Watch your attitude. I am the Hokage." Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table in annoyance.

Based on Danzo's understanding of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he naturally sensed the determination in Hiruzen's tone.

He was unwilling to clash with Hiruzen Sarutobi over an underdeveloped genius, so he turned and walked away, leaving behind a harsh remark.

"Hmph, you'll regret this."

A genius only represents potential, not a guarantee that they will become a strong person in the future.

Besides, Danzo had no shortage of strong subordinates, he just lacked Sharingan.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Tonan returned to the Uchiha clan's territory.

However, no sooner had he arrived home than a member of the Uchiha clan came to inform him to go to the shrine.

Uchiha Tonan knew that the news of his awakening of the Three Tomoe must have already reached the ears of the Grand Elder and others.

After all, this is a ninja world, full of spies from all sides, and besides, he hadn't put away his three-tomoe jade when he left the Hokage Building.

The goal is to let others know that you have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, thereby gaining more potential recognition.

Uchiha Tonan arrived at the shrine and saw the Grand Elder kneeling in front of the table, gesturing with his hand.

Uchiha Tonan nodded and sat down at the table.

The elder spread out the scroll on the table, and there were many names of ninjutsu recorded on it.

"Tu Nan, I never expected you to give me such a big surprise. You awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at only six years old."

According to clan rules, clan members who awaken the Three Tomoe can choose three ninjutsu. See which one you want to choose.

The rest require you to be promoted to genin, chunin, or jonin, or to perform meritorious service for your clan before you can choose.

Uchiha Tonan nodded and looked at the names of the ninjutsu on the scroll.

Most of them are fire-style and lightning-style ninjutsu, as well as many genjutsu.

Now, Uchiha Tonan has inherited all the abilities of his parents and Uchiha Ten'o, including their experience and talent.

Learning ninjutsu is a piece of cake for him now, unlike when he first transmigrated and was a complete waste of space.

Uchiha Tonan looked through the scroll once, then pointed to each section and said:

"These will do."

The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, then said calmly:

"Lightning Release: Lightning Needle".

Illusion, magic that reveals hell.

Illusion, the mirror reflects the world.

It seems you have lightning attribute talent, but one genjutsu is enough, since the Sharingan comes with hypnotic genjutsu.

"Whatever you say, are you sure?"

Uchiha Tonan nodded.

The elder left his seat, took three scrolls from behind the ancestral hall, and handed them to Uchiha Tonan, saying earnestly:

“I understand your pain because your parents were killed in battle. You can talk to your clansmen about anything that happens in the future.”

Remember, we are one family, and your clan will not treat you unfairly.

"Thank you, Elder." Uchiha Tonan bowed deeply and then left the shrine.

Watching Uchiha Tonan's departing figure, the First Elder sighed helplessly.

Clearly, Uchiha Tonan was not close to the Uchiha clan. That bow just now made the elder feel the estrangement between Uchiha Tonan and his clansmen.

Upon returning home, Uchiha Tonan first activated the Hell View Technique and the Mirror Heaven and Earth Reversal.

Hell View Technique is a very common and ordinary genjutsu. Basically, any Jonin in Konoha who knows genjutsu has learned it.

This kind of illusion can make people obsessed with their inner fears.

Uchiha Tonan chose this genjutsu precisely because of this point.

It speaks directly to people's hearts.

As for the Mirror World Reversal, it only requires a higher level of mental strength and illusion magic than the opponent.

This allows you to reflect the genjutsu cast by the opponent back, which is very suitable for Uchiha Tonan, who possesses the Sharingan.

Another function of the Mirror of Heaven and Earth is to share the field of vision with the object of the illusion.

Uchiha Tonan planned to use this move on his ninja beast, the white dove.

This would significantly enhance the reconnaissance capabilities of the white pigeons.

Hmm... Once the death benefits come through, I'll train a few dozen more ninja beast doves.

With these two genjutsu techniques, Uchiha Tonan began to create his own unique genjutsu based on the knowledge he had learned at the Ninja Academy.

Most people learn illusions that already exist, and the scenarios in these illusions are readily available.

It may only be a minor alteration, but it's easy for others to spot through subtle clues.

Because creating your own illusionary realm requires a huge amount of mental energy.

Uchiha Tonan inherited the spiritual power of two close relatives and a brother, which was more than enough for him.

Good illusions require adapting to the situation. First, you need to construct an illusion in your mind, and then influence the enemy's five senses to make them believe that they are in reality.
