The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Thinking of this, Naoto Umino asked with concern:

"It's good to work hard, but you also need to take breaks. I won't take up your rest time."

See you at school tomorrow.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Shangren. Goodbye."

Naoto Umino turned and left. After walking half a block, he looked back and saw Tonan Uchiha still standing there watching him go.

I couldn't help but feel a little touched.

I never imagined I could teach a student who is so outstanding in both talent and character.

"Let's go back," Naoto Umino called out.

Uchiha Tonan did not reply, but only responded with a gentle smile.

After Naoto Umino's figure disappeared from sight, he turned and walked into the clan's territory.

The Uchiha guards patrolling around the clan's territory saw Uchiha Tonan and nodded in goodwill.

Uchiha Tonan returned the smile with a gentle one.

This is the reality in every world.

Upon returning home, Uchiha Tonan saw the Grand Elder standing at the entrance of his courtyard.

They have clearly been waiting for a long time.

"Tunan, you're back." The First Elder greeted Uchiha Tunan first.

Uchiha Tonan placed his hands on his knees, bowed, and calmly said, "Greetings, Elder."

The First Elder chuckled and waved his hand, then stuffed the thick envelope into Uchiha Tonan's hand, saying:

"We're all family, no need for so much formality."

I'm here specifically to give you your parents' war-related compensation and your living expenses for this month.

Uchiha Tonan secretly squeezed the envelope lightly with his fingers.

This thickness is much more generous than that of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Then, with a puzzled expression, he asked, "Didn't the Hokage already issue the compensation?"

The First Elder looked at Uchiha Tonan meaningfully and said:

"The Hokage represents the village, and our Uchiha clan will naturally treat our fellow clansmen no worse than the Hokage."

You are now an orphan, and you will receive a monthly allowance from now on.

If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me, or you can also seek help from the clan chief.

"Our clansmen are like family; we will do everything we can to help them."

After saying that, he patted Uchiha Tunan on the shoulder, and without offering any further explanation or action, turned and left.

The elder's move was indeed brilliant; it would be fine against others, but it was a bit too naive against Uchiha Tonan, who was well-versed in human relationships.

Here are some tips for gift-giving.

The goodwill has been delivered, but it will take some time to develop.

If you keep staying here and talking nonsense, people will definitely think you have ulterior motives.

Uchiha Tonan returned home, took the money out of the two envelopes, and put them in the locker.

It seems I've become a hot commodity.

The death benefits given by Hiruzen Sarutobi have far exceeded the standard.

The compensation for the two Chunin killed in action would not be that much.

The Grand Elder was even more willing to spend money, giving almost twice as much as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Uchiha Tonan guessed that the Grand Elder hadn't originally planned to give so much.

It's likely that the Elder knew about Naoto Umino when he was outside the Uchiha clan's territory.

Judging from the thickness of the envelope in Naoto Umino's hand, the elder guessed the approximate amount given by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

So we doubled it at the last minute.

This is a good thing for Uchiha Tonan.

The compensation received by the two Chunin parents who died in the war was the same as that received by the two Jonin parents who died.

Now that we have money, we can train more White Dove Ninja Beasts.

Until World War III begins, I won't have to worry about not having enough money.

The following day, Uchiha Tonan went out as usual and headed to the Ninja Academy.

Before even leaving the clan's territory, he met his classmates.

Uchiha Mina.

A hint of surprise flashed in Uchiha Mina's eyes as she greeted Uchiha Tonan, "Tonan-kun, what a coincidence!"

"Yes, what a coincidence." Uchiha Tonan smiled gently.

The two walked side by side toward the school.

Uchiha Tonan knew, of course, that this was no coincidence.

I had already spotted Uchiha Mina lurking around this intersection with the white doves.

Uchiha Tonan didn't seem inclined to expose him.

After all, there's a high probability that Uchiha Mina will become his source of sustenance.

When it comes to staple foods, one should naturally be more considerate.

Speaking of food rations, Uchiha Tonan remembered that there seemed to be more than just Uchiha Mina among his classmates.

If he fails to gain Sakumo Hatake's approval, he will be in a dangerous situation.

These food rations might play a crucial role.

Especially Uchiha Mina.

Extras who were completely unknown in their previous lives are basically doomed to die.

Moreover, they are from the Uchiha clan.

If we could find a way to improve her abilities, then...

If she operates properly and is lucky, she might even awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan.

To contribute to one's own kaleidoscope.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tonan's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Uchiha Mina.

While Uchiha Mina appears to be looking straight ahead, she is actually secretly keeping an eye on Uchiha Tonan.

Seeing Uchiha Tonan looking at him, his heart started pounding.

"Tu Nan, is there a problem?"

As soon as Mina Uchiha asked the question, she immediately wanted to slap herself.

How could you ask that? Doesn't Tu Nan feel embarrassed?

What if Tu Nanjun has just developed feelings for me, and then I ask him this question? Will he stop liking me?

“I think Mina, you’re different from the other clansmen.” Uchiha Tonan, being an old hand with a thicker skin than most, naturally didn’t feel embarrassed.

"Really? How is it different?" Uchiha Mina felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and asked with a touch of shyness on her face.

"Most of the clansmen I've met, apart from Obito, are a bit...too arrogant..."

But Mina, you're different. I usually think you have a lively personality, but I never expected you to have such a cute side in private.

Uchiha Tonan spoke with a gentle smile, as if stating a fact, without a trace of flattery.

The two chatted as they walked.

They looked just like a young couple from a past life.

[Chapter 18. Hinata Chiharu Invites Him to Dinner]

In the classroom.

Hinata Chiharu sat alone in her seat, feeling depressed because of her father's death.

Several male classmates were gathered together nearby, laughing and joking.

However, between the playful moments, these male students would occasionally steal glances at Hyuga Chiharu.

A young boy's love is both hidden and unmistakably revealed.

In the eyes of her classmates, Chiharu Hyuga has always been a very gentle and delicate person.

This temperament can further arouse the protective instincts of young males.

Although Chiharu Hinata sat dejectedly in her seat, her eyes kept glancing towards the classroom door.

I heard that Tu Nanjun's parents also died on the battlefield.

He was an orphan, just like me.

We are the same kind of people...

"Boom."

Two male students were playfully fighting when one of them pinned the other to the ground.

"Do you accept it or not?"

"I disagree."

"Do you accept it or not?"

"Hmph, Qianling, Asuma secretly told me last time that he likes you."

"I...I'm not...I didn't...I..."

Asuma immediately stood up, looking at Hyuga Chiharu with a helpless expression.
