The Master of Konoha's Legacy

With this in mind, Uchiha Tonan began to try to design an illusion based on the scene in his own house.

[Chapter 11. Greatly Increased Strength, Spy Infiltration]

a few days later.

In the dead of night, all was quiet.

Uchiha Tonan sat under the eaves, maintaining a fixed rhythm as he performed hand seals.

The speed was neither too fast nor too slow; I closed my eyes and carefully felt the flow of chakra.

The last hand seal is complete.

Uchiha Tonan extended his right hand, his five fingers spread open.

"Zzzzz~"

Thin arcs of electricity flickered at the tips of his five fingers, like sharp needles growing from his fingernails.

"The transformation of chakra, huh? It's a pity that this lightning rod can't be thrown out like a senbon needle."

Uchiha Tonan muttered to himself, then put away the technique.

There aren't many hand seals for Lightning Release: Lightning Needle. Once my mental strength increases and I become more familiar with the flow of chakra, I won't need to use hand seals to release it.

This trick might be a good choice for ambushing someone.

Imagine yourself chatting and laughing with your prey, and then, without realizing it, you accidentally stab a lightning rod into their body.

Lightning chakra can also paralyze the opponent's body, so that the opponent will not feel pain at first and will not scream immediately.

By the time you realize what's happening, use the Lightning Escape technique to completely paralyze your opponent.

Hmm, not bad.

Uchiha Tonan has now mastered many ninjutsu.

Fire Release techniques include Great Fireball, Phoenix Flower, and Phoenix Flower Claw Red.

Lightning Release includes Earth Movement and Lightning Rod.

Illusion techniques have also evolved into Mirror World Transformation and Hell Viewing Technique, as well as the hypnotic eye that comes with the Sharingan.

His chakra reserves reached the level of a Special Jonin, but the exact amount of his mental strength is unknown.

Overall, his strength was just enough to give Uchiha Tonan a sense of security.

In the past few days, Uchiha Tunan has trained a few more white doves.

Keeping ninja beasts is a bit expensive, mainly because their special feed is quite pricey.

Uchiha Tonan is a person who lacks a sense of security, and he values ​​these reconnaissance ninja beasts extremely.

The feed used is the most expensive kind.

Even though the white dove, a ninja beast, doesn't eat much.

I've spent almost all of the living expenses my parents left me.

If it weren't for Hiruzen Sarutobi occasionally sending his ANBU to bring him food, Uchiha Tonan would probably have had to hunt wild animals in the forest to fill his stomach.

I don't know when the death benefits will be issued.

Uchiha Tonan looked up at the sky, then got up and went back inside to rest.

Just as he entered the bedroom, Uchiha Tonan was about to turn off the light and go to sleep when he suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with three-tomoe light.

"I hope they're not looking for me."

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan withdrew his hand from turning off the light and picked up his summary, "The Will and Thought of Fire," and began to read it aloud.

In the forest outside the Uchiha clan's territory, in Konoha.

A Konoha ninja dressed in Chunin uniform parted the bushes in front of him and cautiously peeked out.

"Hopefully, the Uchiha clan hasn't placed that person in the center of the clan's territory yet."

Then he turned his gaze to a small courtyard on the edge of the Uchiha clan's territory.

A dim light shone from the house in the small courtyard, and a hazy figure was reflected in the window.

"That must be the room. Why aren't they asleep so late? Are all the geniuses in Konoha this hardworking?"

This Konoha Chunin was named Inoue Nobuda, a spy planted in Konoha by Kirigakure immediately after the end of World War I.

Throughout World War II, Inoue Nobuda only delivered a few unimportant messages and never received any new espionage missions.

The recent local war is nearing its end, and Kirigakure is preparing to carry out an assassination before the war concludes, aiming to kill the genius of Konoha.

One of the Jonin spies went to Kakashi's house, while Inoue Nobuda was assigned to assassinate Uchiha Tonan, who was considered less difficult to kill.

After all, Kakashi's father was the White Fang of Konoha, and his child was very likely protected by the Anbu in secret.

But Uchiha Tonan is different; he is a member of the Uchiha clan, so the Anbu would not likely come to the Uchiha clan's territory to conduct surveillance.

The ninjas guarding the Uchiha clan's territory mostly focused their efforts on the central area of ​​the clan's territory.

The howls of wild beasts echoed through the forest from time to time, sending chills down one's spine.

But for a Chunin like Inoue Nobuda, the sound of wild beasts howling actually made him feel more at ease.

Inoue Nobuda observed carefully for a while, and only after confirming that there were no people nearby did he lower his guard.

He darted out of the bushes and transformed into a black shadow, sneaking towards the Uchiha Tonan clan.

However, what he didn't expect was that his every move had already been observed by a white dove perched on a branch behind him.

The white dove stood quietly on the branch, using the dense foliage to conceal its form.

Only one cold and deep Sharingan was visible.

"Uphold the principles of ninja and resolutely implement the Will of Fire centered on the Third Hokage."

"Follow in the footsteps of the Third Hokage..."

Inoue Nobuda lay prone on the roof, listening to the passionate reading coming from inside the house, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Another pathetic wretch brainwashed by the Will of Fire.

Without delay, Inoue Nobuda slowly drew his short sword, leaped off the roof, and landed gently.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless, without making a sound.

With a sinister grin on his face, he walked to the door and pushed it open.

This place is far from the center of the Uchiha clan's territory, so even if a sound is made here, the ninjas won't be able to get there in time.

In Inoue Nobuda's eyes, Uchiha Tonan was nothing more than a student who had just entered the Ninja Academy.

So what if you awaken the three tomoe? You're just a potential idiot.

He wasn't even a genin.

You can't possibly use the Three Bodies Technique to kill yourself, can you?

At this moment, Inoue Nobuda could already imagine the terrified expression on Uchiha Tonan's face when he was stabbed through the skin.

The moment the door was pushed open.

The bedroom lights suddenly went out, plunging the entire room into darkness, and the reading abruptly stopped.

This guy, no wonder he's a genius, he's very alert.

But in the face of absolute power, it is still a dead end.

Inoue Nobuda gripped the long sword tightly in his hand and walked step by step into the dark room.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

Inoue Nobuda's ear twitched, recognizing the dripping sound as coming from a loose kitchen faucet.

I felt a little irritated, but the task was important, so I ignored the minor details.

In the darkness, Inoue Nobuda could vaguely make out the layout of the room. His eyes were fixed on the bedroom door as he walked towards it step by step.

He slowly reached out and placed his hand on the door.

Kid, say goodbye to this world.

A cruel smile appeared on Inoue Nobuda's face. He then yanked the door open and raised his long sword high in his right hand, ready to strike at the stubbornly resisting Uchiha Tonan.

However.......

no one!

Inoue Nobuda felt a slight jolt in his heart. Standing at the bedroom door, he was unsure whether to go in or back, and began to wonder where Uchiha Tonan might be hiding.

The bedroom layout was very simple, with virtually no hiding places except for cabinets.

If it were me, I would hide next to the door.

Use blind spots to cover yourself, and launch a surprise attack from the side when the enemy comes in.

But this kid is still a student after all. If he were a little timid, he would probably hide in the closet.

Inoue Nobuda put himself in the other person's shoes, took a breath, and listened attentively.

His years as a ninja had instilled in him a cautious nature.

Because if Uchiha Tonan were hiding next to the door, there was a certain possibility that he would be ambushed if he rushed in.

Even if the chances of the other party successfully launching a sneak attack are slim.

What needs to be done now is to listen to the opponent's breathing to determine their location, so as to kill them with one blow.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

Apart from the sound of dripping water, there was no sound of human breathing.

You really are a genius; you saw through my intentions.

But seeing through it is useless.

You can't just stop breathing forever.

Then I'll wait until you can't hold back anymore.

A hint of mockery flashed in Inoue Nobuda's eyes, as if he were laughing at Uchiha Tonan's foolish response.
