The Master of Konoha's Legacy

The electrical circuits throughout the ancestral home seemed to be malfunctioning; the light switches in the corridor wouldn't turn on no matter how many times they were pressed, even when the system was on silent mode.

Soon, in the dimly lit environment, Jingyin descended the stairs to the first-floor corridor.

Strangely, the room across the hallway had its lights on.

Moreover, this room is located directly below my bedroom.

This is... the kitchen.

Shizune took out a kunai and carefully made her way to the kitchen door from the far end of the corridor.

Silently holding her breath, she noticed a slight gap in the kitchen door.

He immediately peeked through the crack in the door, wanting to peek inside.

However, the moment Shizune's eyes peered through the crack in the door, the kitchen lights went out instantly, plunging Shizune into complete darkness, leaving her unable to see anything.

"Smack smack..."

Just then, a chilling chewing sound came from inside.

Jingyin was about to push open the door and rush in.

suddenly!

A bloodshot eye appeared on the other side of the crack in the door, staring intently at Shizune's eyes.

In an instant, Shizune felt her mind go blank, and the necklace and kunai she was holding immediately fell to the ground.

I wanted to scream but found that something seemed to be blocking my throat, and I couldn't make a sound.

"what!"

A piercing scream rang out.

Jingyin suddenly sat up straight in bed.

"Cuckoo~"

"Cuckoo~"

"Clang, clang..."

The sounds of birds chirping and the wind rattling the windows could be heard constantly from outside.

Jingyin was soaked in sweat and panting heavily.

I turned my head and glanced at the curtains that outlined the window.

Shizune subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, a pale smile appearing on her face as she said self-deprecatingly:

"It was just a nightmare, it scared me to death."

After saying that, he completely relaxed, closed his eyes, and lay down on the bed.

Jingyin, whose mind had been constantly on edge, felt incredibly comfortable at this moment. She lazily turned over and faced away from the window.

suddenly!

Shizune's eyes widened suddenly.

There was a figure standing beside his bed.

The figure mechanically held a long sword and silently watched him.

Through the dim light coming in from the window, Jingyin recognized the person in front of her.

Uchiha Tunan!

Uchiha Tonan's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

The distorted face seemed to carry an eerie smile as it slowly raised the long sword.

Jingyin felt as if her blood had turned cold and stiff, and her whole body had lost all sensation.

He could only watch helplessly as the long sword pierced his abdomen and then slowly slid down...

This feeling...

It's like a specimen being dissected on an operating table.

"Crunch crunch~ thump thump thump~"

In the kitchen on the first floor, Uchiha Tonan ignored the violent tremors coming from the ceiling above his head.

He was intently pouring boiling sake over the golden, crispy skin of the headless roast suckling pig.

After pouring the sake, Uchiha Tonan calmly tied a white napkin around his neck, picked up his knife and fork, and began to eat.

I cut off a small piece of meat, put it in my mouth, and chewed it a few times.

Uchiha Tunan frowned slightly and shook his head, saying:

"It's less fishy than before, but the ingredients are a bit too fatty."

Although the taste wasn't great, it was a rare ingredient after all.

True to his frugal nature, Uchiha Tonan devoured the roast suckling pig, leaving nothing behind.

Surprisingly, after eating it, Uchiha Tu Nanan didn't feel greasy or disgusted at all.

On the contrary, it leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, with an unforgettable aftertaste.

"High-end ingredients..."

Uchiha Tonan murmured.

Then I took off the napkin and gently wiped the grease from the corner of my mouth.

The only downside is that they only have wine, not tea.

You shouldn't scrape off the oil after a meal.

By this time, the vibrations from the ceiling had gradually subsided.

Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly, shook his head, and got up to clear the table.

After all, since you've come uninvited and had a good meal at someone else's house, you should at least clean up and leave no trace before you leave.

Uchiha Tonan poured the leftovers into the trash can and carefully wiped every corner of the kitchen with paper towels.

It is confirmed that no trace was left.

After cleaning up, Uchiha Tonan lifted the trash from the bin and turned off the kitchen light.

Everything felt so natural, as if I were at home.

Upon reaching the main electrical switch at the end of the corridor, he took out various tools from his ninja tool bag and began to reconnect the previously short-circuited wiring.

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan no longer seemed to be a ninja, but a professional electrician.

The movements of his hands were extremely fast, as if he were extremely skilled.

This proves the saying true.

Having many skills is never a bad thing.

These densely packed and tangled wires are so confusing that it's hard for anyone to tell where they start or end.

But Uchiha Tonan was in his element, and everything went smoothly for him.

The lines will be fully restored to their original state.

Uchiha Tunan then finished his mission, packed up his tools, picked up the trash bag, and left.

In a quiet, deserted alley, a group of stray dogs huddled together for warmth next to a trash can.

They were hungry and cold, and were making whimpering noises.

According to the pattern, as long as you can hold out until tomorrow morning, someone will bring the trash to be disposed of.

In this way, they can find some food to fill their stomachs.

Suddenly, the group of stray dogs twitched their noses slightly, as if they had smelled something, and stood up at the same time.

Just then, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley.

The moment the figure appeared, the pack of stray dogs scattered and fled into the alley, hiding at the other end and watching the figure from afar.

Uchiha Tonan glanced sideways at the group of pitiful stray dogs, then looked at the trash cans in the alley.

With a gentle toss, the trash bag landed precisely in the trash can.

The enticing aroma wafted into the noses of the stray dogs, causing their drool to involuntarily spill from their mouths and drip onto the ground.

In the end, the group of stray dogs couldn't resist the temptation and ran to the trash can, jumping in one by one.

The next moment, the sounds of tearing and chewing echoed in the narrow alley.

Seeing this, Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly and murmured, "Happy New Year."

After saying that, he tightened his trench coat and strode towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

The next day.

Sunlight streamed into the room through a corner of the curtains, like a pillar of light standing in the room.

Silently turned over in bed.

Instinctively, I shielded my eyes from the light with my hand, frowned, and opened my blurry eyes.

My mind went blank for two seconds, and then I felt every cell in my body screaming in pain.

"what happened?"

Shizune forced herself to sit up despite the aching pain, pressed her temples, and shook her head, trying to shake the pain out of her head.

But it was to no avail; in fact, it made the pain even more intense.

Memories of last night are surfacing in my mind in fragments.

"What a terrible nightmare."

Jingyin stared blankly at the ray of sunlight streaming into the room, a feeling of being in another world suddenly rising in her heart.

Looking down at his sweat-stained clothes, he murmured, "Is it because the nightmare lasted too long, causing my body to be instinctively tense for too long?"

Thinking that she still had to take care of Tsunade, Shizune decided to change into clean clothes before going to Konoha Hospital.
