The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Upon seeing this, Danzo immediately spoke up:

"Hiruzen, why did you have the Anbu seal off this place?"

Why not take this opportunity to let the villagers all judge the matter together?

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally knew that he was in the wrong in this matter.

If the villagers were to get involved, his authority as Hokage would plummet.

Even now, it seems that the Konoha ninjas present are somewhat alienated from him.

"No need, it's just a misunderstanding."

Tsunade didn't intend to do anything to Tu Nan, but she had just returned to Konoha when she heard the news of Orochimaru's death.

I just couldn't control my emotions and wanted to vent to someone.

Fortunately, I know Tu Nan's abilities, so I know he won't get into trouble.

Just consider him as Tsunade's sparring partner.

I just didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion.

This was my oversight.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately downplayed a revenge killing as a sparring match between fellow disciples, turning a major incident into a minor one.

Jiraiya immediately realized what was happening and echoed:

"That's right, my teacher specifically told me this before I left."

Let me watch over them both, lest either of them get hurt.

Sure enough, after hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya's explanation, most of the dissatisfaction among the Konoha Jonin present dissipated.

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject, asking Shizune:

"Shizune, how is Tsunade?"

Shizune had already stopped the treatment, and Tsunade's abdominal wound had almost healed.

"There's nothing seriously wrong."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "Let's take her to the hospital to rest for a while. I'll talk to her when she wakes up."

After saying that, he shifted his gaze to the protagonist of the evening, Uchiha Tonan, and said in a strange tone:

"Tu Nan, I have already explained the misunderstanding to you."

Can you understand?

Uchiha Tonan and Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at each other for a long time.

Finally, he reached out and adjusted his glasses, a gentle smile spreading across his face as he said:

"I never expected Lady Tsunade to be so loyal and sentimental. I can understand her feelings of losing her comrades very well."

"As long as the teacher doesn't hold a grudge against me for accidentally hurting Lady Tsunade."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment and gave Uchiha Tonan a deep look.

A kind smile immediately appeared on her face, and she softly said, "No, it won't happen."

After saying that, he waved his hand, sighed, and said, "The misunderstanding has been cleared up, everyone can go home now."

P.S.: I've been busy during the day lately and haven't had time to revise it, so I'll be posting the full chapter at night.

[Chapter 192. Confessing Secrets and Colluding with Corruption]

A moment later, the ninjas present left one by one as the Anbu evacuated them.

Minato Namikaze and the others still had a lot to say to Tonan Uchiha.

Danzo glanced at Minato Namikaze and the others who were still beside Uchiha Tonan, and said in a deep voice:

"What are you doing staying if you're not leaving?"

I also need to discuss the funding for rebuilding the welfare home with Tu Nan on behalf of Konoha.

Do you really think I would make things difficult for the heroes of Konoha?

Minato Namikaze and the others glanced at Danzo, then at Tonan Uchiha, their eyes still showing worry.

Uchiha Tonan smiled at everyone and said, "You all go back first, I'm fine."

Minato Namikaze patted Tonan Uchiha on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Tonan, remember to come to us if anything happens. Don't bear it all alone."

late at night.

The crescent moon, like a lone boat sailing through a sea of ​​clouds, occasionally peeks through gaps in the clouds, casting a soft, silvery glow.

On the rooftop above the Hokage Rock.

The cold wind howled, and withered grass and fallen leaves flew everywhere.

Uchiha Tonan and Danzo stood at the edge of the platform, gazing down at Konoha, where the lights of countless homes were lit.

The previous fighting did not dampen the enthusiasm of most villagers for welcoming the New Year.

Danzo squinted at the scenery of Konoha Village and said leisurely, "I am very curious about something: why did you and Hiruzen suddenly break up?"

Uchiha Tonan reached out and grabbed a fallen leaf that drifted in front of him, saying calmly, "Because I killed Shinnosuke and Asuma."

Danzo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this and glanced at Uchiha Tonan.

One possibility came to mind, but he quickly dismissed it, saying with a puzzled look, "I don't quite understand."

Uchiha Tonan chuckled softly and released the fallen leaves.

I just watched quietly as the leaves swirled and drifted slowly downwards.

After the fallen leaves had disappeared from sight, Uchiha Tonan turned his head to the south and said softly, "I am... Abe no Seimei."

Throughout the conversation, Uchiha Tonan's expression remained unchanged, as if he were discussing such a significant secret as if it were a casual chat.

A look of horror flashed across Danzo's face. He then took a deep breath, stared at Uchiha Tonan in silence for a long time, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Since the incident in the City of Fire, various forces have been openly and secretly investigating Abe no Seimei's true identity.

Unexpectedly, this person was none other than Uchiha Tonan standing before him.

Danzo frowned, unable to understand the meaning behind Uchiha Tonan's actions, and said in a deep voice:

"Then why did you tell me so easily?"

Aren't you afraid I'll leak your secrets?

Uchiha Tonan reached up to adjust his glasses, chuckled, and shook his head, saying, "It's a secret. The fewer people who know it, the more valuable it is."

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Tonan pointed to Konoha below and looked at Danzo, saying:

"Lord Danzo, if those people below knew my secret, what do you think they would do?"

They'll have one more thing to talk about after dinner, that's all.

The reason Uchiha Tonan revealed this secret was simply to gain the upper hand.

Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi already knows this secret, and Hiruzen Sarutobi is in a state of estrangement from him.

Therefore, this secret is destined not to be kept for long.

A secret is no longer a secret once even one person knows it.

By revealing this secret before Danzo is aware of it, I can make Danzo less wary of me and more trusting.

This can be considered as making the most of this secret in its final stages.

After all, he estimated that he would have to collude with Danzo for some time to come.

If Danzo had suddenly learned of this secret at that time, it might have created a rift between the two.

Danzo's eyes narrowed, he pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"Since you and Hiruzen broke up because of this, I can't understand why Hiruzen didn't gather the Konoha ninja to kill you."

Uchiha Tonan looked up at the crescent moon in the sky and said calmly:

"You should know that I recently fought against Sarutobi-sensei."

He can't do anything to me if we fight one-on-one.

What's more, I killed Orochimaru, and today I almost killed Tsunade.

I've already killed one and a half of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Once things fall apart and a fight breaks out in Konoha, I don't even need to win.

As long as I can hold my own for half an hour.

Do you think the Uchiha clan will get involved?

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Clearly, Danzo's eyes sharpened considerably when the Uchiha clan was mentioned.

Uchiha Tonan glanced at Danzo without the slightest fear, then shook his head and said:

"Actually, at first I thought that Sarutobi-sensei was the kind of person who was selfless for the sake of the village."

His Will of Fire can be said to be the enlightenment of my awakening of will.

Later, I gradually discovered some clues.

I discovered that Sarutobi-sensei is not as selfless and loving as he appears on the surface.

He was more selfish than anyone else, and his desires were never satisfied.

The trip to the City of Fire, in particular, almost shattered my resolve.

Danzo raised an eyebrow and asked, "What exactly happened in the Fire City?"

Uchiha Tonan narrowed his eyes slightly, a look of reminiscence on his face, and said:

"I served as the temporary city guard captain in the City of Fire, and I have always been dedicated to my duties, punishing evil and upholding justice for the residents of my jurisdiction."

They killed wave after wave of criminals and rescued hundreds of orphans from human trafficking organizations.

In order not to hinder the growth of those orphans, I disguised myself as Abe no Seimei and taught them knowledge.
