The Master of Konoha's Legacy

As long as Uchiha Tunan brings Xiaoyanbu with her, even if she returns immediately, she can stop in time.

[Chapter 186. Diary Leak Eliminates Hostility]

The stove has been burning since yesterday evening.

The charcoal inside was almost completely burned out, making the indoor environment stuffy and dry.

Yakushi Nonou maintains her breathing rhythm at all times so that she can use her hearing to determine if anyone is coming from outside.

He quickly rummaged through the bookshelf.

Suddenly, Yakushi Nonou opened a book and saw that it was full of Uchiha Tonan's handwriting.

He immediately smiled slightly, took the book down, placed it on the desk, and opened it.

Yakushi Nonou's eyes lit up after reading only the first page.

journal.......

Yakushi Nonou quickly flipped through a few pages, only to feel a headache coming on.

Almost every page was filled with handwriting.

A large portion of the text is either summarizing the Will of Fire or praising Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Only by calming down and observing carefully can one discern the true content of the day from between the lines.

However, this thick diary only contains about a month's worth of content.

No way...

Pharmacist Nonou looked up at the bookshelf and subconsciously swallowed.

The top shelf was filled with books with the same cover, and the one I took down was just the first one.

It seems that my plan to extract the key information from the diary and then report it has failed.

Yakushi Nonou immediately took down all the diaries from the bookshelf.

Then he took out a scroll from his pocket and unfolded it.

Quickly form hand seals with both hands, and place the right hand on the scroll.

Secret Technique: The Art of Heart Seal

As soon as the secret technique was activated, Yakushi Nonou quickly flipped through her diary and began reading.

Wherever Yakushi Nonou looked, tiny symbols would appear on the scroll.

Time passed by, bit by bit.

Sweat dripped from Yakushi Nonou's chin.

The workload is just too much...

It took Yakushi Nonou a full three hours to record all the contents of her diary onto the scroll.

Then, following the order I remembered, I put the diary back on the bookshelf.

Yakushi Nonou carefully put the scroll away, tucked it into her pocket, and after checking the study to make sure nothing was left behind, she wiped the sweat from her face and quickly left the study.

"Squeak~"

The door slowly opened.

Yakushi Nono's pupils contracted instantly.

In the living room, Uchiha Tonan was lying beside the cradle, gently stroking the sleeping baby.

“Tu...Nan Jun.…”

"Shh~"

Uchiha Tunan didn't look at her, but simply put a finger to his lips and shushed her, then gently covered Xiaoyanbo with the blanket.

Yakushi Nono felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Although it is rumored that Uchiha Tonan has a gentle personality, he is, after all, someone who could kill Orochimaru.

Having worked as a spy for so many years, Yakushi Nonou knows that one cannot be deceived by appearances.

Most ninjas are polite to their own people, but that doesn't mean they won't be ruthless when facing enemies.

If Uchiha Tonan found out that he was a spy sent by Root...

But then Uchiha Tonan slowly stood up, walked up to Yakushi Nonou, and whispered to her in a suppressed voice:

"When did you come in?"

Yakushi Nonou forced a calm expression and smiled with narrowed eyes, "I arrived a while ago, but since you and Yanbu weren't here, I thought I'd check if there was anything that needed cleaning."

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled into a slight smile as he looked Yakushi Nonou up and down.

Yakushi Nonou felt as if Uchiha Tonan's gaze had materialized and was groping her body.

Gradually, Yakushi Nonou noticed that Uchiha Tonan's gaze had moved to her pocket.

My heart skipped a beat, and I forced myself to keep my heart from racing so as not to give myself away.

Fortunately, Uchiha Tonan's gaze only lingered for a moment before shifting to Yakushi Nonou's face.

A smile appeared on his lips as he slowly raised his hand.

Yakushi Nonou felt as if her heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand, and a strong sense of suffocation surged into her mind.

But Uchiha Tonan's smile seemed so eerie to her.

"You've worked hard, you're sweating from all that."

A gentle voice rang out.

Yakushi Nonou discovered that Uchiha Tonan had merely wiped away the beads of sweat that had been clinging to the tip of his chin with his hand.

"Tu Nan, I'm not feeling well, I'll head back now."

Yakushi Nonou forced a smile and left the room without waiting for Uchiha Tonan's reply.

The moment she stepped out of the room, beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Yakushi Nonou's forehead.

Not daring to linger any longer, they quickly walked out of the welfare home.

A cold wind blew, making the sweat-drenched Yakushi Nono feel chilly all over.

Inside the room, Uchiha Tonan pushed open the study door and went in.

I looked up at the bookshelf, which seemed untouched.

His eyes lowered slightly as he glanced at the ground, a slight smile playing on his lips as he murmured, "Nothing special."

After saying that, he chuckled and shook his head, then went to the window, opened it, and stretched his hand out.

A white dove on a tree branch outside the window shook its wings and landed on the back of Uchiha Tonan's hand, chirping affectionately twice.

Uchiha Tonan reached out his other hand and gently patted the white dove's head, saying softly, "She's still useful to me."

Half an hour later, at the Root Headquarters.

Danzo flipped through the diaries he had deciphered, feeling a headache coming on.

What kind of nonsense is this? Seven out of ten sentences are about the Will of Fire, and three are about the Hokage.

"Is Hiruzen's brainwashing skill that advanced...?"

Danzo even considered throwing these diaries away.

The content inside is utterly devoid of any nutritional value; it's rather nauseating to look at.

But Danzo managed to suppress the urge.

He didn't know the specifics of last night's battle between Uchiha Tonan and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But early this morning, Root ninjas had already detected signs of battle in that area.

Judging from the battle traces, Uchiha Tonan's strength has reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

With such formidable strength and his hidden status under the protection of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo knew he could no longer harm Uchiha Tonan.

However, Danzo could not allow Uchiha Tonan to grow too powerful.

Otherwise, it is very likely that after Hiruzen Sarutobi steps down, he will leave the Hokage position to Tonan Uchiha.

Neither Uchiha Tonan's background nor Danzo's own long-held dream could allow such a thing to happen.

"Konoha is rotten; only I can lead it to true prosperity."

Danzo muttered to himself, took a deep breath, and continued flipping through Uchiha Tonan's diary.

The Will of Fire... Hokage-sama... The Will of Fire... The Will of Fire... Hokage-sama... His parents died... The Will of Fire...

And so, Danzo spent the entire day watching, until he was completely dazed.

I finally saw the diary entries from the last six months.

"My experience in the City of Fire made me realize that most people in this world live in dire straits."

In comparison, Konoha is simply paradise.

No wonder so many people would sell their entire fortunes just to buy a single inch of land in Konoha.

.......

"Master Diwu died, from guilt and from being unable to understand."

That's right, he was indeed acting in accordance with the laws of the Land of Fire.

But that's wrong!

Evil should be deterred by ruthless means.

Simply appeasing and educating people won't save the world.

Severe illnesses require strong medicine, and chaotic times necessitate harsh measures.

We should be even more ruthless than evil.

Make them afraid, make them tremble with fear the moment even the slightest evil thought arises.

When Danzo saw this, he found that he suddenly no longer felt annoyed and said calmly, "Interesting."
