The Master of Konoha's Legacy

This is a huge secret. As an ANBU spy, I must send this message back to Konoha.

To avoid being discovered, the spy waited until late at night before daring to emerge from the tree hole.

Suddenly, the running spy stopped and darted to the tree trunk.

"Cuckoo~"

A large flock of white doves flew overhead through the forest.

The spy held his breath completely.

At this time, even ordinary animals will avoid it if they can.

After the white doves flew away, the spy poked his head out and looked ahead.

The forest ahead was cut off by a railway line.

That is to say, the entire railway was not shaded by trees and was completely exposed to the cold moonlight.

This made the spy instinctively feel insecure.

Or, we could write down the information here and have the summoned beast relay it back?

The spy considered it for a moment, but immediately rejected the idea.

We're too close to the City of Fire; staying here for even a second longer is dangerous.

Taking a deep breath, the spy suddenly accelerated, transforming into a black shadow and swiftly crossing the railway.

However, the spy, who had just crossed the railway and disappeared into the dense forest, frowned.

Just now... I think there was a white figure on the railway.

"Gurgle~"

The spy subconsciously swallowed and looked back through the gaps between the tree trunks.

The tree trunks blocked the view of the railway from the spies' sight, dividing it into dozens of sections.

No.....

No.....

No.....

It seems I was just scaring myself.

The spy breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to continue his escape into the distance.

He had just turned his head.

!!!

Standing in front of him was Uchiha Tonan, who was wearing a white bathrobe.

Uchiha Tonan seemed to be in a bit of a hurry as he leisurely fastened the belt of his bathrobe, saying softly:

"You're leaving in such a hurry, do you want me to give you a ride?"

The spy said in a relaxed tone, "Lord Tunan, I didn't expect to meet you here. I just came from Konoha and am on my way to an enemy country to carry out a mission."

Uchiha Tonan chuckled and patted the spy on the shoulder, saying:

"Hey~ you're one of the more stable-minded people in the Dark Division."

So what if you see it? It's not a big deal.

In my next life, I'll change careers.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ANBU member thrust a kunai heavily into Uchiha Tonan's heart.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, but it didn't even pierce the skin.

Uchiha Tonan flicked his right hand backward with a finger-pinching gesture.

"Pfft~"

"Bang~"

A tree trunk behind them was pierced through by Uchiha Tonan's Air Ball.

A body fell straight to the ground.

The spy in front of Uchiha Tonan turned into a cloud of white mist.

It was just a shadow clone.

The next moment, Uchiha Tonan formed a hand seal and used the Swamp of the Underworld Technique to devour the spy's corpse.

Then his body also turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared.

At the same time, Uchiha Tonan, who was writing furiously in the Daimyo's mansion, paused slightly, put down his pen, and looked down at the loose belt on his bathrobe.

"It seems there's only this one small fish."

As he spoke, he reached out to fasten his belt, picked up his pen again, and continued to wield his brush.

[Chapter 224. The Deep Bond Between Master and Disciple: A Bond That's Hard to Bear]

Early the next morning.

A red sun leaped out from the morning mist, its rays illuminating the river flowing through the distant city of fire and also reddening the morning mist.

As the morning mist gradually dissipated under the sunlight, the world suddenly became clear.

Within the City of Fire, countless city guards were mobilized to block the road from the Daming Prefecture to the train station.

Accompanied by Naraku, Uchiha Tonan arrived at the train station.

At Naraku's instruction, the city guards tightly guarded the train station, leaving the two of them some private space.

The two walked onto the platform and stopped at the same time, as if by unspoken agreement.

Then Uchiha Tonan took Naraku's hand, placed it in his palm, and gently patted the back of his hand with his other hand, saying earnestly:

"Naraku, for the sake of our great cause, you will have to work hard for a while from now on."

If you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to tell your teacher.

Naraku placed his other hand on Uchiha Tonan's hand, looking reluctant, and said:

"Teacher, I have only just reunited with you, and I never expected that it would be time to part again."

This disciple is truly reluctant to part with them.

I wish I could give up this daimyo position and go to Konoha to serve you, sir.

Sigh... all I can say is that fate plays tricks on us; we have no control over our own lives.

As he spoke, he reached into his robes and took out two small scrolls:

"Teacher, time is short, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Please don't find it offensive.

Uchiha Tonan glanced at the scroll, a look of confusion on his face, and asked, "This is...?"

Naraku held a scroll in each hand, first raising the scroll in his left hand and saying:

"This storage scroll contains five hundred doses of chakra potion."

During this period, Daming Prefecture's resources have been almost completely depleted.

The disciples could only gather five hundred portions, no matter how hard they tried.

Then, he raised the scroll in his right hand and said:

"This scroll contains a secret technique of the Senju clan."

It is said to have been created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, during the Warring States period.

It's called Super Strength Ninja Technique.

It allows for precise control of chakra, concentrating it throughout the body to greatly enhance physical strength and explosive power.

The secret technique on Hashirama Senju's scroll originated from the era of Ninjutsu, but it is not recorded in the scroll.

As he spoke, he handed two small scrolls to Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan took the scroll, weighed it lightly in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction, saying:

"It's so kind of you to think of that..."

Since you have given me these two gifts, I naturally cannot treat you unfairly.

In fact, the curse mark in your mind, although it restricts you to a certain extent, can also greatly enhance your talent.

Consider this the first gift I'm giving you as your teacher.

Upon hearing this, Naraku's eyes glistened with tears as he said, "I see, I'm so moved..."

Uchiha Tonan stuffed the scroll into his ninja tool pouch and smiled slightly, saying, "Don't be too touched yet, there's a second gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white dove landed on Uchiha Tonan's shoulder.

Uchiha Tonan reached out and gently stroked the white dove's soft feathers, saying:

"Your teacher can't be with you often, but she worries that you'll be lonely."

It just so happens that this is the teacher's pet, which he has raised for many years. It is well-behaved, sensible, and intelligent.

Today, your teacher is giving this to you, so that it can accompany you day and night, never leaving your side.

After saying that, the white dove on Uchiha Tonan's shoulder spread its wings and landed on Naraku's shoulder.

Naraku glanced at the white dove and said with admiration:

"This white dove looks very majestic; it's no ordinary creature."

This is far too precious; I am unworthy to receive it.

"Alright, it's getting late, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself."

You must also take good care of this little guy; if anything happens to him, I will be very angry.

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly as he patted Naraku on the shoulder before turning and walking toward the train at the end of the station.
