The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"Bang~"

"Meow!"

"Unfortunately, you don't belong to me." Hinata Chiling turned around leisurely and casually tossed a note onto the kitten's corpse.

Then, carrying the bag of cat food, he walked out of the courtyard and closed the gate behind him.

After leaving, Hyuga Chiyu resumed her obedient and gentle expression and headed towards the place she had agreed to meet with Uchiha Tonan.

At this time, Uchiha Tonan was still training Uchiha Mina.

Even though Uchiha Tonan has trained a large number of ninja beasts, white doves, it is impossible for him to monitor the entire Hidden Leaf Village at all times.

Therefore, he was unaware of what Hyuga Chiyu had just done.

Time passed slowly, and the sky grew completely dark.

Nine o'clock.

After training Uchiha Mina, Uchiha Tonan headed towards the place he had arranged to meet with Hyuga Chiryu.

At the same time, a flock of white doves took flight from the woods and flew away into the distance.

[Chapter Twenty-Three: Setting a Trap to Win the Beauty's Arms]

A full moon rose, like a bright lamp, hanging high in the sky.

In the forest, Hinata Chiyu walked with a blank expression.

The shadows cast by the branches of the trees on both sides of the path on the ground create a chilling and eerie feeling.

Hinata Chiharu arrived at the waterfall, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

When I was a child, my mother often brought me here for picnics.

When they get dirty from playing, they will run to the river under the waterfall to bathe.

If you're lucky, you might even catch two fish.

But he hasn't come back since his mother passed away.

Hinata Chiyo slowly squatted down and reached out to touch the slightly damp soil on the ground.

The image of Uchiha Tonan tutoring him flashed through his mind.

"Detonating tags are usually placed in advance and used as traps."

This is where we need to discuss the impact of various environmental factors on detonators.

First is humidity.

If the humidity is too high, the detonator may get wet and become ineffective.

However, due to geographical factors, we often cannot avoid them.

This requires special handling methods.

For ordinary detonators, we can wrap them with a lot of dry leaves, which can delay the time it takes for the detonator to get wet.

You can also sprinkle a layer of lime on the surface of the detonator.

If we have enough time and resources, we can go elsewhere to get some dry soil and wrap the explosive tag inside.

Of course, you don't need to make as many of the expensive NBC (nuclear, biological, and chemical) explosive tags.

Hinata Chiaki opened the cat food bag, took out the dried soil inside, and spread it on the ground.

Then he took out three explosive tags from his pocket and placed them on the dry soil.

Finally, seal it with the remaining soil and cover it with the surrounding dead leaves as camouflage.

"Tu Nan Jun, don't blame me."

After finishing her self-talk, Hinata Chiyu walked step by step toward the small river beside her, taking off her clothes as she went.

"Splash!"

As the sound of water rose, Hyuga Chiharu immersed herself naked in the stream.

With his hands resting on the bank, he looked toward the end of the path, waiting for Uchiha Tonan to arrive.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Mina had just returned home.

Upon entering, I saw the cat's corpse on the floor and froze on the spot.

"Xiaoxue........"

Tears welled up in Mina Uchiha's eyes as she suddenly lunged to the side of the cat's corpse.

The cat's belly had been crushed into a pulp, and its face showed a look of terror.

"Who is it? Who is it...?"

This cat holds special significance for Uchiha Mina, not only because it is adorable and intelligent, but also because it was the first gift Uchiha Tonan gave her.

Suddenly, Uchiha Mina saw the note on the ground.

He shakily reached out and opened the note.

The text above reads:

Does it hurt? If I can't have it, I'd rather destroy it.

I left a note in my seat drawer in the classroom with my current location on it.

"Hyuga Chiharu, I'm going to kill you."

Mina Uchiha gritted her teeth and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, only to find that her vision was somewhat different from before.

In Uchiha Mina's eyes, a tomoe slowly rotated.

But Uchiha Mina showed no joy at awakening her Sharingan and immediately got up and ran towards the Ninja Academy.

Along the forest path, dappled with the shadows of branches.

Uchiha Tonan strolled along expressionlessly, each step extremely light, without making a sound.

Like a ferocious beast hunting in the darkness, it concealed its aura, ready to strike with lightning speed at any moment.

Although the forests near Konoha Village, apart from the Death Forest which is sealed off by a barrier, are basically devoid of large wild beasts.

Nevertheless, Uchiha Tonan was still habitually on guard.

"Cuckoo~"

Birdsong echoed through the dark jungle.

Hyuga Chiryu and Uchiha Tonan agreed on a time of 9 PM.

Uchiha Tonan naturally wanted to arrive on time to give the other party enough time to prepare.

"Splash..."

As they approached the waterfall, Uchiha Tonan heard the sound of Hyuga Chiryu splashing water amidst the roar of the falls.

Looking closely, a graceful figure in the darkness rested her hands on the shore, her body submerged in the water, gazing intently at him.

"Tunan-kun, you're here."

Uchiha Tonan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, feigning nervousness, and said:

"I'm sorry, I've come at the wrong time."

After saying that, he immediately turned around.

Hyuga Chiyu looked at the bewildered Uchiha Tonan and a triumphant smile spread across her face. She said softly, "Tonan-kun, you've come at just the right time. Wait for me."

"Qianling, quickly put your clothes on. Don't worry, I didn't see anything."

As soon as Uchiha Tonan finished speaking, he heard the sound of water splashing behind him.

And the sound of bare feet stepping on fallen leaves.

"Okay, turn around now."

When Hyuga Chiyu's voice sounded behind him, Uchiha Tonan turned around.

Suddenly, Hyuga Chiyu hugged Uchiha Tonan tightly and rested her head against Uchiha Tonan's chest.

“You…” Looking at the naked Hyuga Chiyu in his arms, Uchiha Tonan froze like a child.

"Tunan-kun, I like you, do you know that?" Hyuga Chiyu closed her eyes and hugged Uchiha Tunan tightly around the waist.

Uchiha Tonan looked at the ground behind Hyuga Chiryu.

All that could be seen was a trail of water stretching from the shore to this point.

Uchiha Tonan said in a nervous tone:

"I know...I know."

Hyuga Chiyu tightened her embrace around Uchiha Tonan, excitedly asking, "Do you like Mina?"

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly as he gently stroked Hyuga Chiharu's damp back with his left hand, speaking softly:

"How could you think that? I've always treated her like a younger sister."

Whether it was Uchiha Tonan's answer or his actions that had an effect, Hyuga Chiryu was no longer so agitated.

"I hate it so much, why am I a member of the Hyuga clan?"

Did you know that the Hyuga clan does not allow its members to marry outside their clan?

Especially for me, as someone who has separated from the family, I was born with the image of a caged bird.

Sometimes I really feel like a bird in a cage.

Their entire lives were destined to be controlled by the main family; they had no freedom, no future, and not even the right to pursue love.

"There must be a way to solve this."

As Uchiha Tonan spoke, his left hand slowly reached down along the wet, smooth curves, stopping only when it reached Hyuga Chiharu's slender waist.

His right hand gently patted Hyuga Chiharu's back.

Hyuga Chiyu felt Uchiha Tonan's warm hand roaming over her back, and comfortably rubbed her head against him, saying:

"My parents were clearly so weak, yet the main family still ordered them to participate in the war."
