The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"It seems you're alright. There's a spy from an enemy village in our village, and the situation is urgent. Please come with me to the Hokage Building." The Anbu member unusually spoke a few more words, his eyes unconsciously glancing at the scroll in Uchiha Tonan's hand.

I had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

He's already able to kill a Chunin at such a young age, what a genius!

Clearly, this ANBU member was aware of Uchiha Tonan's standing in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart, and now that he had guessed Uchiha Tonan's strength, he tried to soften his tone as much as possible.

Uchiha Tonan nodded, his face serious.

"I need to speak with Lord Sandai. Thank you for your help."

After speaking, he bowed deeply and very politely.

His attire, combined with that of Uchiha Tonan, made him appear polite and courteous, instantly winning people's favor.

The ANBU nodded, came to Uchiha Tonan's side, grabbed his shoulder, and used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi, his brow furrowed, paced anxiously back and forth, puffing on a pipe.

He would occasionally glance at the crystal ball.

The crystal ball showed Uchiha Tonan's house.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was resting at home when suddenly the Anbu reported that a spy from an enemy village had infiltrated the Hatake family to assassinate Kakashi.

As the enemy village spies did not expect, Sakumo Hatake returned to Konoha this very evening.

The enemy village spy had barely stepped into the Hatake family home when Hatake Sakumo chopped off his hands and feet with a single stroke.

He was then taken to the Konoha interrogation room by the arriving Anbu, where they used various methods to extract information from him.

The assassination target of another Chunin spy, Uchiha Tonan, was also known to the Anbu.

One ANBU member immediately set off for the Uchiha Tonan family, while another went to the Sarutobi clan's territory to report to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Upon arriving at the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately used the crystal ball to observe the situation of the Uchiha Tonan family.

However, the crystal ball's perspective on things in the village is the barrier of Konoha Village, and it cannot see what's happening inside the houses.

This is why Hiruzen Sarutobi could only watch those open-air scenes during his free time...

In fact, before Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at the Hokage's office, the quick-witted Tonan Uchiha had already left the Uchiha clan compound and was on the road.

"Lord Hokage, Uchiha Tonan has been brought here."

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely anxious, the voices of the Anbu members sounded outside the door.

"Quick, come in quickly."

"Squeak~" The door to the Hokage's office was pushed open.

Uchiha Tonan rushed in excitedly, staring intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His eyes were filled with reverence and affection.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked Uchiha Tonan up and down, and seeing no injuries on him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Kid, are you alright?"

Such an excellent and loyal tool, thankfully it's okay, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan's eyes showed visible emotion, and he smiled and said, "Third Hokage, you don't need to worry about me. I have already killed that spy."

I'm so sorry that such a small thing disturbed your rest.

After speaking, Uchiha Tonan bowed deeply and then presented the scroll to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the scroll and was even more satisfied with Uchiha Tonan.

Having only awakened the Three Tomoe Jewels not long ago, he was able to turn the tables and kill a Chunin without any warning. His talent is truly amazing.

What a perfect tool!

"How did you kill that Kirigakure Chunin?" Hiruzen Sarutobi placed the scroll on his desk and asked seemingly casually.

Uchiha Tonan succinctly explained, "I used genjutsu to confuse him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. The genjutsu of the three-tomoe Sharingan was indeed powerful. It seemed that Uchiha Tonan's talent for genjutsu was also very high.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to subdue a Chunin with genjutsu so soon after awakening the Three Tomoe.

He then summoned a member of the secret service and handed the scroll to him.

Then he returned to his seat and gestured for Uchiha Tonan to sit opposite him.

"Since you're alright, stay here for a while. The secret service still needs to check if any have slipped through the net."

"I'm really worried about your safety," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with concern.

Uchiha Tonan hesitated for a moment, then said, "But, Third Hokage, it's so late. If you don't go back to rest..."

How will I have the energy to handle business tomorrow?

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Hehe, it's okay. You can rest on my desk. You have class tomorrow."

However, Uchiha Tonan shook his head resolutely and said, "No, Third Hokage, I rested very well during the first half of the night. You should rest for a while."

“This…” Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the serious-looking Tonan Uchiha and nodded kindly, “Alright then, I’ll rest for a while, you can join me.”

"Okay." Uchiha Tonan nodded in agreement.

The two sat facing each other at the desk, with Uchiha Tonan staring intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a little uncomfortable and awkwardly said, "Go to sleep," then set an example by lying on the table and pretending to doze off.

After a while, Uchiha Tonan slowly got up, walked to the shelf next to him, picked up Hiruzen Sarutobi's divine robe, and gently draped it over Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Then he returned to his position, his face resolute as he guarded against any possible attack.

This little guy is really good.

These skills were already honed to perfection in Uchiha Tonan's previous life in the workplace.

The effect is very good; at least Hiruzen Sarutobi is very receptive to this approach.

About two hours later, Hiruzen Sarutobi pretended to have just woken up.

Quite coincidentally, the dark forces also arrived at that very moment.

"Reporting to Lord Hokage, this is the information we obtained from the interrogation room."

After saying that, he handed the scroll to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even a dead person can still be found to gather intelligence; it seems we need to be more cautious in everything we do in the future.

Uchiha Tonan thought to himself, but his face remained respectful as he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the scroll, glanced at it, and, confirming that there were no other Kirigakure spies in the village, gave the order:

"Take Tu Nan back and let him rest well. Also, keep watch over him secretly for a while."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan stood up and bowed to Hiruzen Sarutobi, saying:

"Then I'll be going now, Lord Third Generation. You should also go back and rest soon."

"Okay, I'll go back to rest right away." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled as he saw Uchiha Tonan off.

After Uchiha Tonan left, Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed his smile and went to the window to gaze into the distance.

"Have they all abandoned their spies? It seems this local war is truly coming to an end."

It is now Konoha Year 42.

Five years have passed since the Second Shinobi World War.

However, since the incident a year ago when the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas infiltrated Konoha and kidnapped Kushina, the other ninja villages have started making their own moves.

The smaller countries that served as buffers between the major powers have experienced numerous local wars.

In particular, Kirigakure, which implemented the Blood Mist policy, went completely mad, constantly harassing the Land of Waves, which borders the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.

But after fighting for several years, Kirigakure should probably take a break.

Otherwise, if they keep fighting like this, they'll get really angry, and the Third Shinobi World War won't be far off.

[Chapter Fourteen: The War of Character Development Ends]

The following day, Uchiha Tonan arrived at the Ninja Academy wearing a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses.

Although I was assassinated yesterday, I also obtained a very useful piece of information.

Sakumo Hatake is back.

In other words, my next major target has appeared.

Sakumo Hatake committed suicide in Konoha 44, which means he had just over a year left.

If Uchiha Tonan can gain Sakumo Hatake's approval in advance, he will be fully confident in surviving the dangerous Third Shinobi World War after Sakumo's death.

A Kage-level shinobi, how many Chunin parents would it take to achieve that?

As soon as he entered the classroom, Uchiha Tonan's attire immediately attracted the attention of the female students.

A burst of screams of infatuation erupted in the classroom.

It must be said that the Uchiha clan has pretty good genes, and their appearance is almost as good as anyone else's.

Except for Obito.

The reason it didn't generate such a big response before was because his attire was too ordinary and failed to highlight Uchiha Tonan's charisma.

In fact, given Uchiha Tonan's personality, he didn't want to be so high-profile.

But there's no way around it; this is the persona that has to be established.

An ordinary person who suddenly gains great power must make some changes.

Just like the Uchiha clan, many of them were innocent and cute when they were young, but once they gained some strength, they became arrogant and conceited.

Arrogant and conceited.

Uchiha Tonan naturally couldn't use this personality trait as his character design.

After all, someone who has been deeply brainwashed and sided with the Third Hokage must be different from other members of the clan, preferably going against the grain.

A persona that is refined, elegant, gentle, and approachable is most suitable.
