The Master of Konoha's Legacy

However, one could vaguely see a glint of light in Naraku's eyes.

[Chapter 221. A Gentleman in Favorable Weather, a Scoundrel in Adversity]

Originally, Uchiha Tonan wanted to control Naraku, make him work for him, establish a sect, and play the trick of divine right of kings, to see if he could gain recognition through faith.

Then, following his methods, he cultivated those believers who gained acceptance.

But this guy's behavior made Uchiha Tonan unsure whether or not to kill him.

After a long while, he saw that Uchiha Tonan seemed to be hesitating.

Naraku's begging became even more outrageous. He brought his head close to Uchiha Tonan's feet and stuck out his tongue to lick the surface of Uchiha Tonan's shoes.

He looked obedient and loyal.

Uchiha Tonan narrowed his eyes and said in a chilling tone, "Tell me your worth."

Naraku immediately assumed a dog-sitting posture, panting as he spoke:

"This disciple has discovered a miraculous potion. Drinking just one dose allows one to refine chakra for an entire day, with no side effects."

However, this medicine requires human extraction, which means killing a great many people.

But don't worry, teacher, your disciple can do it for you.

In the past three years, I have killed at least 300,000 people, whether innocent or guilty.

If you, Master, were to give the word, I could kill a million disciples.

Teacher, you must have also practiced immortal arts, and know that immortal arts require drawing on the power of emotions.

The disciple has a complete set of torture methods, instruments of torture, and venues that can torture 10,000 people at once.

Little by little, one can quickly master immortal techniques.

The disciple also collected various precious medicinal formulas that could comprehensively improve one's physical condition.

Uchiha Tonan said indifferently, "It's not of much use to me."

Upon hearing this, Naraku's face broke out in a cold sweat, and he rolled his eyes.

Thinking that he absolutely couldn't let Uchiha Tonan think he was useless, otherwise he would only die here, he quickly said:

"I also used various methods to collect the secret techniques of ninja organizations from all over the Land of Fire."

Even the Senju clan's most treasured heirloom, the scroll of Hashirama Senju, is in the hands of his disciples.

The disciple is willing to offer this to the teacher.

Seeing that he had already revealed all his secrets, but Uchiha Tonan still seemed to have that indifferent expression, Naraku became anxious.

He immediately grabbed Uchiha Tonan's leg and cried out:

"Waaaaah..."

The disciple truly knows his mistake.

The disciple has always regarded the teacher as a second parent.

It's all because you abandoned me and left back then, teacher.

My feelings for you, teacher, have turned from love to hate.

The deeper the love, the more intense the hate.

Now that all the hatred has been vented, only the unbreakable bond between master and disciple remains.

I now deeply regret what I did to you, Master.

"This disciple is truly inhuman."

After saying that, Naraku slapped his already swollen cheek hard.

That slap was really hard, leaving a bluish-purple five-finger mark on the swollen face.

"Crack~"

"He's not human."

"Crack~"

"They're worse than animals."

"Crack~"

.......

Uchiha Tonan kicked Naraku to the ground and said coldly:

"Stop acting. Don't you hate me for lying to you about killing your father?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Naraku's eyes.

I'm not afraid of Uchiha Tunan asking a lot of questions, I'm afraid of him not asking anything at all.

For people like them, the fact that they're willing to waste time talking to you means there's still hope for you.

Naraku shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, and said:

"I don't hate him, not at all."

Teacher, you have really misunderstood your disciple.

Teacher, don't you know what kind of person I am?

My disciple is the kind of selfish, cold-hearted person who has no feelings whatsoever.

There is no father-son affection here.

Besides, that old guy has been living and holding onto his prestigious position all this time.

The disciple has wanted to kill him for a long time.

He just had the desire to steal but lacked the courage.

Holding it in...

Fortunately, teacher, you gave your disciple this opportunity.

He even found a scapegoat, Shinnosuke, for his disciple.

I am so grateful to you, teacher, how could I possibly hate you?

"I cannot bring myself to repay kindness with enmity."

Seeing that Naraku's speech was already illogical, Uchiha Tonan sighed softly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan began to form hand seals in front of Naraku, and then stretched out his palms and slowly pressed them down on Naraku's head.

"Lord!"

In the distance, Shanghe Dakong's untimely wail echoed.

This is the collapse of faith, the shattering of values.

This also reflects the concern of a loyal subject for the monarch's current situation.

Naraku swallowed hard, staring at the hand about to touch his head, and roared angrily into the distance:

"What are you yelling about!"

My teacher and I are very close, like father and son, and he would never harm me.

What are you worried about?

Uchiha Tonan placed his palm on Naraku's head, but had not yet released the curse seal.

I felt the intense trembling coming from my palm.

"Teacher, if you leave me, I will truly be all alone."

All my relatives have died, not a single one is left.

If I die, the Daimyo lineage will truly be extinguished.

With a slight smile playing on his lips, Uchiha Tonan gazed at the trembling Naraku and said leisurely:

"You are afraid."

Naraku's eyes were bloodshot, and he forced a smile as he said hoarsely:

"The teacher's hands are still so warm."

I'm just happy...

"I get trembling all over when I'm happy..."

Uchiha Tonan chuckled coldly, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he said:

"Then open your heart and don't resist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tonan brutally injected the cursed seal into Naraku's mind.

Naraku's eyes widened, and he knelt there, convulsing.

With arms outstretched, head tilted, and hands shaped like chicken claws.

It's like having an epileptic seizure.

But his eyes did not lose their sparkle.

"Uh...uh..."

To be honest, Naraku's performance was significantly better than any other seal recipient Uchiha Tonan had ever seen before.

Uchiha Tonan suddenly thought of a sentence.

the student surpasses the master.

If I really am just a native of this world.

They might actually regard Naraku as their successor.

This personality trait is even more pronounced than mine.

A hypocrite when things are going well, a true villain when things are going badly.

A dignified national leader would bark like a dog just to survive.
