The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"You are so tyrannical, you will die a horrible death, the Land of Fire will be destroyed by your hand sooner or later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man's tongue was skillfully pulled out with iron pliers by the executioners to prevent him from shouting and disturbing his esteemed name.

Those above had long been accustomed to this, showing no sympathy whatsoever, and treating it all with indifference.

Naraku slowly opened his eyes, sat cross-legged, and made a special hand gesture, saying to Yamamoto Takuro:

"This is the last one, right?"

Yamamoto Takuro immediately knelt respectfully on the ground, bowed his head, and said:

"My lord, there are only eighty-six prisoners in this batch."

Naraku chuckled and nodded, saying, "It seems the new laws are being implemented well. Let's carry out the execution."

Yamamoto Takuro immediately stood up and ordered the executioners, "Execute them."

Because it was underground, the temperature inside the underground palace was slightly lower than on the ground. A chilly wind blew in from who-knows-where, causing many people to shiver.

As Yamamoto Takuro finished speaking, the prisoners below the stage began to suffer inhumane torture.

More extreme forms of torture included branding with hot irons, snake bites, boiling in oil, and even being sliced ​​into a thousand pieces.

Gentler methods include water torture and additional torture (using wet tissues to stick face-to-face until suffocation).

"Waaaaah..."

Without exception, all of these prisoners had their tongues cut out, leaving them only to wail and struggle in agony.

Only tears of resentment slid from the corners of their eyes, falling onto the cold ground.

Under torture, the prisoners' emotions reached the highest point they had ever experienced in their lives.

But as the torture continued, one prisoner after another breathed their last.

In the instant of their death, their emotions shifted from exhilaration to deathly stillness, an immense emotional force emanating from them.

These emotional energies will be absorbed by Naraku and the others first.

What cannot be absorbed at once will be absorbed by people on the second and third levels.

It is obvious that after Naraku sent people to obtain the cultivation method of the immortals from the Fire Temple, he thought of using this crooked and evil method to cultivate immortal techniques.

Having tasted the power, Naraku's new laws became increasingly harsh.

There are almost no punishments such as detention; the degree of torture a prisoner should be subjected to is determined solely by the severity of the crime.

Half an hour later, Naraku felt that the emotional power around him had disappeared, and only then did he reluctantly open his hands.

He clenched his fist, a look of fascination on his face, and murmured, "Power always makes people unable to resist its allure."

"Big Sky."

"Your subordinate is here."

"Who among the participants from each country has not yet arrived?"

"Reporting to my lord, only the Konoha contestants have not yet arrived."

Upon hearing this, Naraku's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said leisurely, "Still on my train?"

Shanghe Da Kong said in a deep voice, "Yes, they should arrive around noon tomorrow."

A sinister smile flashed across Naraku's lips as he said:

"He is representing my Fire Kingdom in this battle, so you should go and greet him on my behalf."

"Don't disgrace the dignity of my Daming Prefecture."

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and stared at the people being tortured below the platform.

"As ordered."

After Kamikawa Daisora ​​left, Naraku placed his hands on the armrests and slowly stood up, saying, "Takuro."

Yamamoto Takuro immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "What are your orders, my lord?"

Naraku tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers and said, "Add a clause to the new law: the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Yamamoto Takuro said in a deep voice, "I wonder what kind of punishment my lord intends to impose on this crime."

Naraku frowned slightly upon hearing this, rubbed his temples, and after thinking for a long time, chuckled and said:

"I can't think of any more interesting tortures for the moment, so just write 'Unforgivable Sin'."

"Yes."

The next day, at noon.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Inside the station of the City of Fire, a group of shirtless workers are using shovels to clear a new railway line.

"Dirty~"

A worker straightened up and looked in the direction from which the sound of a ship's horn was coming from.

A jet-black steam train was slowly approaching the station. At first glance, the front of the train seemed to have a ferocious look, like a wild beast.

The sky was originally clear, but behind the train, endless dark clouds appeared, like a dark gray curtain spreading towards the City of Fire.

"Looks like it's going to rain."

The worker muttered something under his breath.

"Everyone go back and rest. The station is under temporary lockdown."

With a stern shout, a group of city guards in uniform with long swords at their waists drove the workers away and stood guard in every corner of the station.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair rode a brown horse and arrived at the platform, led by several attendants.

The middle-aged man was none other than Uchiha Tonan's former superior when he served in the Fire City, the Great Leader of the Guard: Kamikawa Daisora.

Kamigahara Daisaku's eyes were narrowed, his gaze fixed on the oncoming train with a sinister look, his thoughts unreadable.

Before the train had completely come to a stop in the station, Kamikawa Daisora ​​began to speak loudly:

"Welcome Konoha Chunin Uchiha Tonan to participate in the Five Great Nations Honor Chunin Tournament."

Fight for the honor of the Land of Fire.

As soon as Shanghe Dakong finished speaking, hundreds of guards in the station straightened their chests and shouted in unison: "Fight for the honor of the Land of Fire!"

"Fight for the honor of the Land of Fire."

"Fight for the honor of the Land of Fire."

.......

Inside the carriage, Uchiha Tonan's ears twitched slightly, his eyes turned scarlet, and the three tomoe slowly swirled around.

In an instant, my gaze passed through the canvas in front of me, the carriage seats, and the driver's cab, and I saw this scene at the station.

Uchiha Tonan's eyes narrowed subconsciously as the image gradually magnified, and the figure of Kamikawa Daisora ​​was reflected in his pupils.

He then slightly curved his lips into a smile, slammed the easel on the table, picked up the still-warm tea and took a sip, muttering, "Overbearing."

[Chapter 211. The Mastermind Behind the Scenes of a Dragon's Den and a Tiger's Lair]

As soon as the train pulled into the station, Uchiha Tonan took off his baseball cap and threw it on the table.

He took out the Konoha headband from his ninja tool bag, put it on his forehead, and stood up in front of the carriage door.

Guan Gu Yifeng opened the driver's side door and looked at Uchiha Tu Nan, saying, "Lord Tu Nan, be careful. I'll pick you up later."

Uchiha Tonan nodded slightly.

"Hey~"

Thick steam suddenly billowed from the roof of the train, and the entire train seemed to deflate as it came to a stop at the platform.

Uchiha Tonan got out of the car with a calm expression and stood in front of Kamikawa Daisora.

Shanghe Da Kong, mounted on his horse, lowered his eyes and looked down at Uchiha Tonan, showing no intention of dismounting to greet him.

"Long time no see, Konoha's number one genius."

Because of their different heights, Uchiha Tonan had to crane his neck to look at him if he wanted to talk to him.

This is exactly the effect that Shanghe Dakong wanted.

At the level of someone like Shanghe Dakong, they wouldn't find pleasure in this.

But he did this so that the famous person behind him would feel better when he found out.

Making Uchiha Tonan look bad is the same as making the Daimyo happy, and the Daimyo being happy means that you will be valued.

Uchiha Tonan did not look up, but instead gazed calmly at the brown horse in front of him.

The next moment, the horse's pupils contracted, and it immediately collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Just before his horse collapsed, Kamikawa Daisora ​​flipped over and landed steadily on the ground, glaring at Uchiha Tonan and saying, "You..."

Uchiha Tonan's eyes held a slightly strange look, as if he were looking at an idiot, and he said:

"I'm a ninja, not a government official. Don't give me that nonsense."

Aren't you afraid I'm just a hothead who'll turn around and go back to Konoha?

I will be able to get back alive.

If you go back, will you even survive?

Upon hearing this, Taiga was momentarily speechless. Although anger surged within him, he had to admit that what Uchiha Tonan said was indeed true.

With the men he currently commands, if Uchiha Tonan were to turn around and leave, they really wouldn't be able to stop him.

If I go back to report, I might actually lose my life.

He immediately suppressed his anger, took a deep breath and said, "My lord has already prepared accommodations for you. Please follow me."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Uchiha Tonan chuckled lightly, too lazy to bother with this brute who had been in charge of the violent institutions of the Fire City for many years, and then followed.

It has been roughly three years since I last left the City of Fire.

Upon returning to the City of Fire, I discovered that it had undergone a complete transformation.
