The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"Friend, please come here for a moment."

"Come here and I won't kill you."

"Gurgle~"

The scarred-faced ninja swallowed hard, nodded subconsciously, and walked shakily toward Uchiha Tonan.

At this moment, the train conductor finally spotted Uchiha Tonan, a look of surprise and delight appearing on his face as he murmured, "Lord Tonan..."

When the scarred-faced ninja arrived in front of Uchiha Tonan, he was already soaked in sweat and his face was deathly pale. He said, "Sir, what are your orders?"

Scarface knew all too well that he had encountered a ruthless person this time, and he was terrified.

Uchiha Tonan pointed to the family of three across the street and said, "Do you know them?"

"I don't know them." Scarface glanced at the trembling family of three and shook his head.

Uchiha Tonan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Alright, then kill them and I'll let you go."

For some reason, the scarred ninja hesitated, forcing a smile as he said, "Sir, we only rob money, we don't kill people."

Uchiha Tonan chuckled lightly, his expression instantly turning cold.

"Don't try to act tough in front of me."

He immediately flicked his finger, and an air pellet pierced through the scarred ninja's forehead.

"Uh~"

The scarred ninja's corpse simply fell onto the table in front of Uchiha Tonan.

The woman and little girl opposite screamed in fright.

The middle-aged man said with a grim expression, "Sir Ninja, what have we done to offend you? Please forgive us."

Uchiha Tonan leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on the table, and looked directly at the middle-aged man, saying, "What were you doing fiddling around in your pocket when you gave me your business card?"

"I'm looking for a business card."

"You've been looking for so long?"

"And scratch that itch while you're at it."

"You're a medicinal herb seller, don't you know that most medicinal herbs haven't been harvested yet this season?"

"Off-season medicinal herbs are highly profitable."

"I really can't do anything with you."

Uchiha Tunan chuckled and shook his head, then reached out and pinched the little girl's cheek, tugged it, and flicked it with his finger.

"Ding....."

A small hole was ejected from the little girl's face, revealing the metal inside.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly fell silent.

The couple opposite them were clearly tense, ready to attack at any moment, but also wary of something.

Uchiha Tonan pointed at the little girl with a surprised expression and said:

"Since you're so good at making things up, are you going to say that this thing is an inflatable doll that you imported from the Land of Wind?"

"Pfft~"

As soon as he finished speaking, a knife tip pierced the woman's heart from behind her seat.

The person who took action was the train conductor, who was also the down-on-his-luck man that Uchiha Tonan had once persuaded at the Fire Temple: Sekiya Ichika.

After Guan Gu made his move, the middle-aged man, like a frightened bird, attacked Uchiha Tonan.

The middle-aged man's left hand was clenched into a fist.

The little girl's mouth suddenly split open, and countless kunai shot out, heading straight for Uchiha Tonan's face.

Uchiha Tonan remained expressionless, and with a gentle pinch of two fingers, he caught the first kunai.

Then, by flicking the kunai between his fingers, he precisely pushed aside the next kunai.

"Ding Ding Ding..."

With a final flick of his wrist, the kunai pierced through the little girl's skull in an instant, pinning her to the seat.

"die!"

At this moment, the middle-aged man's right fist was less than an inch away from Uchiha Tonan's face.

Uchiha Tonan slightly raised his arm, spreading his five fingers.

"Snapped!"

The man's right fist landed firmly in Uchiha Tonan's palm.

Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow slightly and murmured, "This is... Sage Art..."

Immediately, the five fingers slowly increased the pressure, and a "crackling" sound was heard as the man's right fist was crushed into a lump of flesh.

"Uh... Ah!"

The ten fingers are connected to the heart.

Clearly, this man was not a tough guy; he had lost the ability to resist due to the intense pain.

Uchiha Tunan's eyes widened slightly, revealing his three-tomoe Sharingan, and he unleashed a Hell See Jutsu at the middle-aged man.

A moment later, the middle-aged man's eyes widened, his breath ceased, and he collapsed to the ground.

Uchiha Tonan took out a tissue from his ninja tool bag, wiped the blood from his palms, and said leisurely, "Playing with puppets and Morse code in front of me."

From the illusion just now, Uchiha Tonan had obtained the information he wanted.

This middle-aged man is a Chunin from the Land of Fire, whose main job is to carry out espionage missions such as intelligence gathering.

Uchiha Tonan immediately stood up and took a slip of paper from the middle-aged man's pocket.

There were no words written on the note.

Uchiha Tonan felt around on the paper and successfully found the sticky part, tearing the paper into two pieces.

This means that the strip of paper is made of two pieces glued together, and the glued side has special runes drawn on it.

Write on this piece of paper with your finger, and it will appear on a scroll in another place.

There is a certain distance limit, roughly several hundred miles.

Clearly, this man was there to spy on Uchiha Tonan.

Those wandering ninjas were merely sacrifices used by the mastermind behind the scenes to test Uchiha Tonan's strength.

Uchiha Tonan put the note into his ninja tool pouch with a clear conscience.

Runes and magic arrays involve rare knowledge; you can study them when you have free time.

Guan Gu Yifeng approached Uchiha Tu Nan and said respectfully, "Lord Tu Nan, I never expected to see you here."

Uchiha Tonan turned around and observed the passengers in the carriage, using his Byakugan ability to confirm that there was no chakra flowing in their bodies.

Then he patted Guan Gu Yifeng on the shoulder and said:

"You're quite something. I never imagined that this once down-on-his-luck guy would now be driving a train."

Guan Gu Yifeng looked flattered and said, "Do you need me to help you with this?"

Uchiha Tonan nodded, returned to his seat, and said:

"Thank you for your help."

"A cup of hot tea would be even better."

"There are some."

Guan Gu Yifeng swiftly carried the body to the connecting area between the carriages and disposed of it.

Then, from who knows where, he got a pot of tea for Uchiha Tonan.

After giving a respectful greeting, he wisely refrained from disturbing them and went to the driver's cab to operate the train.

The seemingly dangerous carjacking operation ended abruptly and in a rather anticlimactic manner.

The passengers in the carriage were all ordinary people.

After witnessing Uchiha Tonan's ruthlessness, he didn't dare to even breathe loudly, let alone try to get close to him.

Uchiha Tunan was naturally happy to have some free time. He looked out the window, took a sip of tea, picked up his drawing board, and started sketching again.

"It's like a den of dragons and tigers, aren't they afraid of scaring me away?"

[Chapter 210. The Overbearing Aura of Unorthodox Paths]

At this moment, in the underground palace beneath the Daimyo's mansion in the Fire Capital.

The underground palace is like a football field, with three levels.

The lowest level was filled with various instruments of torture, and in the middle was a circular platform with a chair placed in the center.

Naraku sat in this chair, with Taiga Uesugi, the chief of the Imperial Guard, standing to his right, and Takuro Yamamoto, the Minister of Justice, standing to his left.

At the edge of the platform, the twelve guardian ninjas sat cross-legged, facing the prisoner, protecting Naraku in the middle.

On the second-floor stands, a circle of guards from the Daimyo's residence and the assassin ninja trained by the Daimyo's residence sat cross-legged.

The third-floor stands were packed with guards from the Wei family.

On the lowest platform, the Minister of Punishments, Yamamoto Takuro, read aloud from the document:

"Xin Fu Youlang accepted bribes from the enemy state and privately sold contraband, committing treason. According to the new law, he should be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts."

A middle-aged man kneeling below the stage, upon hearing Yamamoto Takuro's judgment of him, immediately pleaded for mercy as if possessed:

"My lord! I only sold some grain; I did not betray the country."

The man's hands trembled violently, and his voice also shook uncontrollably.

His eyes were wide open, with bloodshot veins around them and a bluish-gray mark around his eye sockets, making it look like he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.

However, Naraku, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, waved his hand impatiently.

The next moment, the middle-aged man was dragged to the torture device and tied up by the executioners.
