The Master of Konoha's Legacy

As for the people from the welfare home before...

The elderly were temporarily placed in the Konoha Orphanage.

Uchiha Tonan would take some time each day to visit and offer his condolences, just to make a show of it.

It's just for show, because they've already basically won over these elderly people.

The approval of Matt Day and his son was also gained.

So we don't need to worry about them.

One should be realistic in life, otherwise it will be too tiring.

Kokoro was entrusted to Kakashi by Uchiha Tonan.

I have no plans to take it home and raise it myself anytime soon.

Anyway, Kakashi seems to really like Kokoro.

At this moment, what Uchiha Tonan hoped for most was for war to come quickly.

Let's reap the rewards!

Just as he was thinking this, Uchiha Tonan closed the courtyard gate.

Suddenly, my ears twitched, and I heard a sobbing sound coming from not far away.

Yoho~

It seems there are lost lambs in the Uchiha clan's territory.

Isn't this a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

Uchiha Tonan stared intently in the direction from which the sound came.

Uh......

Isn't this the former home of the Grand Elder?

Has Zhishui come to pay his respects to his grandfather?

Uchiha Tonan still cared about Shisui.

After all, Kotoamatsukami is a very useful skill, and it might even be used to hunt some tricky but delicious prey.

Thinking this, Uchiha Tonan straightened his clothes, put on a refined and easygoing expression, and walked towards the elder's house.

As I casually passed by the Elder's house, I glanced to the side and saw Zhishui sitting under the eaves in the courtyard, weeping while holding three wooden sculptures.

"Shisui, why are you crying here all by yourself?" Uchiha Tonan pushed open the half-closed courtyard gate and walked in with a concerned expression.

Zhishui pitifully raised her head and said in a tearful voice, "Tunan-san, I miss Grandpa, Father, and Mother."

Uchiha Tonan sat down next to Shisui, reached out and ruffled his hair, and said gently, "Can I see them?"

"Hmm~"

Shisui nodded and handed the three wooden carvings to Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan first put the wooden carving of the First Elder aside, and then picked up the wooden carvings of Shisui's parents and examined them.

Although the carving is somewhat rough, it has a certain charm, showing how much care was put into it.

But are these two Shisui's father and mother...?

Why does it look so familiar?

Uchiha Tonan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if suddenly remembering something.

It seems that Shisui's parents were also present during that battle with Orochimaru.

Of course, their strength didn't seem to be that great; they were swallowed up by Orochi right from the start.

Uchiha Tonan naturally couldn't remember such minor cannon fodder.

That's right. At that time, Uchiha Tonan's secret was extremely important to the Grand Elder.

Naturally, he would tell his son and daughter-in-law first.

hiss~

This is bad.

In the original storyline, neither the Grand Elder nor Shisui's parents died so young.

With so many changes, I wonder if Shisui will still be able to successfully awaken Kotoamatsukami.

No, we must brainwash Shisui while he's still young.

To prevent him from developing resentment towards Konoha after the death of his relatives when he grows up.

After all, Shisui's grandfather was forced to his death by the village, and his parents were killed by Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin.

Aside from Naruto, who is a reincarnation of Ashura and can maintain his original intentions, normal people would fall into hatred.

After thinking it over, Uchiha Tonan began his brainwashing rhetoric.

This time, it's not about gaining approval.

It was simply to plant a seed of love for the village in Shisui's heart.

It's the same old routine: the first step in brainwashing is to empathize.

Uchiha Tonan gently placed the wooden carving on the floor beside him, sighed deeply, and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, saying:

“Shisui, I never imagined that you, like me, suffered such great pain in your childhood.”

Shisui immediately stopped sobbing, his face streaked with tears as he looked at Uchiha Tonan's profile and said:

"Tunan Sang, you also lost your father, mother, and grandfather."

A look of reminiscence appeared on Uchiha Tonan's face as he slowly said:

When I was six years old, my father and mother went to the battlefield and never returned.

As for my grandfather, I don't even know his name.

I heard he's been dead for many years.

Upon hearing this, Zhishui suddenly realized that Tunansang was even more pitiful than himself.

Compared to Tunan Sang, I at least have one more grandfather.

She immediately reached out her little hand and tugged at Uchiha Tonan's arm, saying, "Tonan-san, don't be sad."

What a silly child! When she's sad, the first thing she thinks of is comforting others.

Uchiha Tonan chuckled softly, and casually reached out to pull Shisui into his arms, saying:

"Don't worry, I won't be defeated."

The passing of my father and mother did not break me.

The deaths of my brother, classmates, and lover did not break me.

There is no pain in this world that can break me anymore.

As Shisui listened to Uchiha Tonan speak, he counted on his fingers.

"Tunan Sang, have so many people you cared about died?"

Uchiha Tonan pinched Shisui's cheek with his other hand and said casually, "Have you forgotten the wooden carvings in my house?"

Upon hearing this, Shisui thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the rows of wooden carvings he had seen at Uchiha Tonan's house before.

He clicked his tongue inwardly, feeling that Uchiha Tonan was far worse off than himself.

"It's alright, Tunansang. You still have Zhishui and your people."

Hooked.

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly as he began the second step of the brainwashing process.

To show off one's achievements.

But then Uchiha Tonan smiled gently at Shisui and said:

"After the storm, the rainbow will eventually appear."

After losing people I cherished one after another, I finally gained the power to protect others.

I will never let such a tragedy happen again.

As he spoke, Uchiha Tonan activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, pointing to his own eyes and saying:

"Do you see these eyes?"

Having awakened these eyes, I am now capable of defeating the Legendary Sannin of Konoha head-on.

No one can take the life of someone I cherish now.

Shisui stretched his head out and curiously examined Uchiha Tonan's Mangekyou Sharingan up close.

Then, with a blink of an eye, his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan was revealed.

He also pointed to his own eyes and said:

"Tunan Sang, your eyes are different from mine."

How can I awaken eyes like yours?

Uchiha Tonan stared at Shisui's three-tomoe Sharingan, feeling slightly surprised.

It evolved to three tomoe so quickly.

Is it because of the death of your parents?

Shisui is only four years old.

This is what a genius is.

Uchiha Tonan took a deep breath and decided that he would no longer simply brainwash Shisui.

We need to nurture him properly.

After all, they've already taken the bait; the fatter they are, the better.

The third step in brainwashing techniques.
