The Master of Konoha's Legacy

The next moment, Uchiha Tonan's eyes flashed with three tomoe as he looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tonan narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing that a thin and peculiar chakra was scattered throughout the sky above the City of Fire.

Moreover, this kind of chakra was extremely familiar to Uchiha Tonan.

"This is... Konoha's barrier..."

This is Konoha's top secret; where did Naraku get it?

Suddenly, two figures flashed through Uchiha Tonan's mind: Orochimaru and Danzo.

It seems I underestimated the allure of money.

Things are getting more and more interesting.

Tomorrow, will the true colors finally be revealed?

A prestigious Chunin Tournament showcasing national strength?

What a joke, Naraku isn't that kind of person.

At this moment, in the deepest part of the underground palace.

This place is like an underground city, with walls made of steel forming its edges.

The walls were covered with sealing runes to isolate breath and sound.

The people living here are not ordinary citizens, but an army secretly trained by Naraku.

Naraku, followed by a group of guardian ninjas, arrived at a viewing platform above the underground city.

Looking down, one sees soldiers sitting cross-legged in the central square of the underground city, practicing hand seals.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "How long will it take to develop an improved version of the chakra potion?"

A guardian ninja behind him bowed and said, "My lord, our progress has almost come to a standstill since Orochimaru died."

Naraku reached out and stroked his chin, saying leisurely:

"Chakra potions are too precious."

If no improved version is developed.

Even if we control most of the wealth in the ninja world, we still can't spread it widely.

We must find a way to speed things up. After tomorrow, secretly search for research talent.

"As ordered."

"How many people have reached the level of a Genin now?"

"Just over two thousand."

Naraku braced his hands on the railing, his fingers exerting a slight force.

The iron railing was instantly deformed by being squeezed.

"two thousand.......

Fifty thousand people practiced day and night without stopping.

There are 30,000 people who can cultivate chakra.

But after all this time, only two thousand people have the strength of a genin.

This is the result of I prematurely mortgaging decades of the ninja world's wealth to accumulate massive resources.

It seems that the gap in bloodline talent is more difficult to overcome than I imagined.

Tomorrow, have these two thousand people stationed around the competition venue, just in case.

"As ordered."

[Chapter 213. The Competition Venue: Praising Tu Nan to Death]

The next day.

Early in the morning, Uchiha Tonan headed to the arena under the protection of a group of city guards.

It was only then that Uchiha Tonan learned that the venue for the Honor Chunin Tournament was not inside the city but outside.

And coincidentally, the address is right in Chifuyama.

The city of fire has been overcast for the past few days.

At this moment, dark clouds loomed overhead, and the sky was a hazy gray, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.

Soon, Uchiha Tonan arrived outside the arena.

The cliff where Abe Seimei once lived has been transformed into sloping steps, with the stands at the top of the steps serving as the stadium for the games.

Soldiers stood on both sides of the steps and around the stands, each one alert and motionless.

The valley was transformed into a huge arena, completely surrounded by high walls, like city walls, and filled with soldiers with long swords at their waists.

Perhaps Uchiha Tonan doesn't quite understand the aesthetics of the people of the Fire City.

Everywhere on Chifu Mountain stand columnar stone sculptures, some tens of meters high.

Each stone carving seems to be crafted with great care, with each one having a unique pattern.

Under the arrangement of the city guards, Uchiha Tonan walked in through a small door at the bottom of the arena.

After passing through a dark passage, they successfully arrived at the arena.

At this moment, the other four contestants had already taken up their positions in the other four locations on the field.

The four men all looked at Uchiha Tonan with hostility.

But Uchiha Tonan showed no interest in them whatsoever, and instead looked up at the steps.

Gradually, the figure of Uekawa Daisora ​​appeared above the steps.

He took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, and announced loudly, "The contestants are in position. Welcome, Your Highness."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of dancers began to dance gracefully in the square above the steps, and musicians began to play their instruments, and the music began to play.

All the soldiers present knelt on one knee, their eyes filled with fanaticism, and shouted in unison:

"Welcome, Your Highness."

"Welcome, Your Highness."

"Welcome, Your Highness."

.......

The roar was deafening, and the sound was perfectly synchronized.

The frenzied shouts echoed throughout the entire Chifu Mountain.

At this moment, Naraku, accompanied by twelve guardian ninja, walked step by step up the steps.

After a short while, Naraku stood in the plaza, slowly turned around, and stared down at Uchiha Tonan with a sinister gaze.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds.

At this moment, the shouts and music stopped.

But then a meaningful smile flashed across Naraku's lips. He raised his left hand and tapped a few times, saying, "Don't stop, keep playing, keep dancing."

The music started again.

Naraku also turned around and sat down in the highest seat of the stands.

The twelve guardian ninjas then formed a semi-circle, protecting Naraku within it.

Uchiha Tonan's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly making plans in his heart.

It seems like something's definitely going to happen today.

The prestigious Chunin Tournament, which was supposed to be a grand event, ended up with not a single outside spectator.

Moreover, after leaving the city, Uchiha Tonan discovered that the barrier of the Fire City had been fully activated and expanded to include the outer city.

If I'm not mistaken, even if the mountains outside the barrier crumble and the earth cracks.

The residents of the City of Fire were completely unaware of it.

What exactly do you want? If you want to kill me, why go through all this trouble?

Even if they are worried about harming innocent residents in the City of Fire.

They could have easily robbed and killed me halfway through the journey while I was still on the train.

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan was also a little confused about what Naraku was trying to do.

In public, it's not appropriate to observe directly.

Naraku sat in his seat, a strange smile on his face, and said leisurely:

"Today is a great day."

I really dislike this weather; it's too stuffy.

"Understood, subordinates." The two guardian ninjas behind him immediately bowed and replied, then came to Kamikawa Daisora's side.

The three of them exchanged a quick glance and nodded in tacit agreement.

Begin forming hand seals at the same frequency.

Immortal Technique: Exploding Sky Bullet Technique.

The three men looked up and simultaneously fired three air-blasting bullets into the sky, which shot into the dark clouds.

A moment later, dark clouds suddenly surged in the sky.

The gray sky was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Suddenly, as if startled, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing a vast blue sky.

Rumble~

At that moment, everyone present heard a deafening explosion.

After the explosion, a fierce gale swept in, raising dust, sand and stones, and making the mountains and forests dance and howl wildly.

The strong winds tilted the trees, and clumps of leaves struggled and tumbled in the wind.
