The Master of Konoha's Legacy

They seem to be playing a fun hunting game.

A moment later, a pair of legs appeared in Silent's line of sight.

Don't squat down, don't squat down!

Shizune stared intently at the shoes, not daring to blink, her heart filled with frantic prayers.

Fortunately, the legs only paused for a moment before starting to move again.

Silently, she turned her head to observe the movement of those legs.

Soon, the legs stopped on the side of the wardrobe.

It's over...

A thought suddenly occurred to Jingyin.

Sure enough, the legs were slightly bent.

A pale arm reached under the bed and grabbed Tun Tun's tail.

Tun Tun began to struggle hysterically, letting out pig-like screams, but she was still dragged out little by little.

Shizune tried to reach out and grab it, but she couldn't control her body at all and could only watch helplessly as Tun Tun was dragged out from under the bed.

She couldn't see what the man had done, but she knew that Tun Tun was in grave danger.

Her eyes were wide open, but she couldn't make a sound.

Tears streamed down my face; I didn't know if it was from fear or heartache for Tun Tun.

After the figure grabbed Tun Tun, it was unclear what it did, but Tun Tun let out a high-pitched, shrill cry before falling silent.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The figure carried Tun Tun out of the bedroom and walked past the window.

At this moment, Jingyin's face was covered in tears, and she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

After an unknown amount of time, Shizune found herself seemingly regaining control of her body.

He immediately began to move his body little by little under the narrow bed, trying to get out and see if there was any chance to save Tun Tun.

Little by little, just a little bit.

Gradually approaching the bedside, Shizune first moved her head out...

Suddenly, Jingyin's legs and arms snapped straight up.

"Ho ho... Ha... Heh..."

Shizune's whole body began to convulse uncontrollably, and a neurotic smile appeared on her face.

Suddenly, a figure appeared standing outside the window.

A strange, chilling smile played on his pale face as he silently watched Jingyin peek out from under the bed.

The scene changes.

In the kitchen.

Silently, she stood up, her expression numb, and turned to walk outside like a walking corpse.

At this moment, only one voice was in Jingyin's mind.

Following Tsunade will ensure your safety...

Following Tsunade will ensure your safety...

Inside Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade had woken up from her coma and sat silently on the hospital bed.

Jiraiya sat on the windowsill, gazing into the distance, and said:

"To be honest, I'm just as heartbroken as you are."

But we cannot let sadness cloud our judgment of right and wrong.

Tsunade lowered her head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "But Orochimaru has sacrificed so much for Konoha."

"If the three of us hadn't fought so desperately to hold off Hanzo, who knows how many more lives would have been lost."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya sighed deeply and turned to look at Tsunade, saying:

"This is not a reason for Orochimaru to kill the villagers."

Wrong is wrong.

Sometimes, it’s quite simple to distinguish right from wrong.

That is, can it be made public?

After a long silence, Tsunade nodded and said:

"I know, I just can't accept it right now."

Why has Orochimaru become like this? He wasn't like this when we parted ways a few years ago.

Jiraiya's expression darkened slightly as memories of the three of them spending time together flashed through his mind:

"Perhaps he has always been like this. We just haven't noticed."

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open.

A blank expression appeared on Jingyin's face as she walked in.

Upon seeing this, Tsunade immediately asked with concern, "Shizune, you look so pale. Did you not sleep well last night?"

“Last night…” Shizune murmured absently, her whole body still trembling.

Tsunade sensed something was wrong and pressed for an answer: "What happened?"

Silent eyes gradually reddened, and tears slowly streamed down her cheeks.

"Lady Tsunade, Tonton... is dead..."

Tsunade was stunned upon hearing this, then jumped off the bed, rushed to Shizune, grabbed her shoulders, and said in disbelief:

"What did you say!"

A hysterical smile appeared on Shizune's face, tears streaming down her cheeks as she forced a bitter laugh:

"Tuntun is dead... killed by... him..."

Yes, it was definitely him who killed him...

He is a demon…a demon…”

Tsunade's face turned grim as she said, "Don't be afraid, calm down, tell me who he is."

Shizune paused for a moment, her lips trembling slightly as she said, "Uchiha Tonan."

Jiraiya jumped down from the windowsill at that moment, his face solemn, and said, "Explain what happened clearly."

Tsunade gritted her teeth and pressed on, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Jingyin seemed somewhat disoriented. After several breaths, a look of terror appeared on her face, and she nodded repeatedly, saying:

"I saw it...I saw it..."

He then grabbed Tsunade's sleeve, his emotions becoming increasingly difficult to control, and tears streaming down his face.

Jiraiya asked gravely, "What exactly happened to her?"

Tsunade took a deep breath and said with a grim expression, "These are symptoms of a severe mental breakdown. She must have been subjected to a very powerful offensive genjutsu."

Jiraiya immediately said in a deep voice, "I'll go find my teacher and ask him to send the Anbu to investigate."

After saying that, he walked outside.

"Jiraiya, this is none of your business." Tsunade grabbed Jiraiya's arm, her face grim.

Jiraiya knew exactly what Tsunade was thinking, and said solemnly:

"The teacher instructed you not to cause trouble for Uchiha Tonan, and to let the teacher handle any issues."

Tsunade's body trembled slightly, as if she were caught in a dilemma.

After a long silence, Tsunade sighed heavily and nodded forlornly, saying:

"I see."

Seeing this, Jiraiya felt relieved.

Fortunately, Tsunade remained rational and considered the bigger picture.

"Boom."

A heavy chop to the back of Jiraiya's neck.

Jiraiya immediately collapsed to the ground.

For Tsunade, who was skilled in medicine, this one strike would keep Jiraiya awake even if the fighting outside was in full swing.

Tsunade reached out and wiped away the tears on Shizune's face, instructing her:

"You stay here and rest well. I'm going to avenge Tuntun."

Shizune was taken aback by his words, then shook her head in terror, pleadingly saying:

"Lady Tsunade, don't leave me... I'm scared..."

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Okay, you'll come with me."

But during combat, keep your distance.

Konoha was unusually lively today.

Most of the ninjas who were on missions outside, except for a few on guard duty, have returned to the village.

The commercial street was bustling with people, and long queues formed outside many shops.

Early in the morning, Uchiha Tonan met up with Kakashi, who was also an orphan, and they strolled around the shopping street together.

Although the two of them weren't particularly interested in eating, drinking, and having fun, they believed that the most important thing about celebrating the Chinese New Year was participating.
