The Master of Konoha's Legacy

In addition, there is now a younger brother who is not yet fully developed.

He will subconsciously develop a sense of responsibility.

A sense of responsibility can help a person's mind grow rapidly and become more mature.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan reached out and patted Hatake Kabuto's shoulder, whispering:

"When paying respects to close relatives, it is better to kneel down; it is a matter of etiquette."

Kabuto Hatake paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded, placed the container on the ground, and knelt down with his knees bent.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan took a ninja tool pouch from his waist and handed it over.

"Don't be too sad, open this and take a look."

"This is......"

Kabuto Hatake opened his ninja tool pouch and took out two lifelike wooden carvings.

The moment he saw the wood carving, Kabuto Hatake's eyes welled up with tears.

There's a saying that goes, "Seeing an object reminds one of a person."

Kabuto choked up, and two lines of tears involuntarily streamed down his face.

Uchiha Tonan slowly squatted down, reaching out to stroke Hatake Kabuto's hair, and said:

"I'm worried that you might forget what your parents look like because of amnesia."

So I carved some wood carvings for them last night.

That way, they can always be by your side.

Watching you and your brother grow up healthy together.

Kabuto Hatake was already sobbing uncontrollably, burying his face in Uchiha Tonan's arms and whimpering, "Thank you... Lord Tonan."

"Ding, Kabuto Hatake's approval has been obtained."

Uchiha Tonan reached out and gently patted the back of Hatake Kabuto in his arms, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.

"The title 'sir' is too formal. We'll be spending a lot of time together in the future, so please call me 'sir'."

"Mr. Tu Nan..."

After a long while, Kabuto Hatake finally stopped crying and left Uchiha Tonan's embrace.

Kabuto Hatake composed himself, turned his head, and looked resolutely at the grave, saying:

"I will be a good older brother and take good care of Yi."

You must be happy in the other world, don't worry about us.

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly and said:

"As long as you are healthy, they will be very happy."

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan looked up at the sky and said:

"You rest inside for a while. I have some small things to take care of and will come back to pick you up later."

.......

The village where Hatake Kabuto lives is located on the east side of the mountains, where there is abundant rainfall and lush vegetation.

To the west of the mountains lies the territory of the Land of Wind.

The mountain range acts as a sharp dividing line, with vastly different landscapes on the east and west sides.

To the east are mountains and forests, and to the west is a desolate Gobi Desert.

Deep underground in the Gobi Desert, a spacious laboratory has been excavated.

Only one oil lamp flickered and burned in the laboratory, casting a dim yellow light over the entire space.

The ground was littered with all sorts of strangely shaped parts, as well as a charred corpse that had been dismembered and was now soaking in a special container.

A red-haired boy was squatting on the ground, piecing together and reassembling the broken arm with various parts.

His movements seemed a little hurried, as if he was worried about something.

In the almost enclosed space, the only sounds besides the assembling of parts were his own breathing.

After a long while, one arm was completed.

The red-haired boy reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Suddenly, the red-haired boy's ears twitched, and he paused for a moment, turning his head to look intently.

"Shh...shh..."

A sand worm crawled out of the wall.

Sandworms are a common insect in the Land of Wind, surviving by consuming trace nutrients in the sand.

Seeing this, the red-haired boy breathed a sigh of relief and muttered:

"It seems that man has had quite a bit of an influence on me."

Even the underground alarm devices, if they don't give a warning, will scare me.

The red-haired boy continued working on modifying the next limb.

For some reason, the red-haired boy seemed a little distracted by the commotion just now.

The image of that invincible figure I saw on the battlefield that day kept flashing through my mind.

The red-haired boy muttered to himself as he modified his limbs.

"Such a powerful ninja, how wonderful it would be if one day we could transform him into a puppet."

He would surely be the greatest puppet in the world.

As he was talking, the red-haired boy suddenly felt that the puppet parts in his hands were no longer appealing.

It seems even the strongest Kazekage is only so-so.

"Huh~"

Modifying puppets is also a physically demanding task. The red-haired boy wiped the sweat from his forehead, his breathing becoming slightly rapid.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The modification is complete; chakra is injected to activate it.

The red-haired boy was seen holding an arm part in one hand and injecting chakra into it.

"Click click click..."

The puppet's arm began to move according to the red-haired boy's wishes.

A satisfied smile flickered across the red-haired boy's lips as he murmured, "Not bad."

Suddenly, the red-haired boy's pupils contracted sharply, as if his heart had been suddenly clenched, and a strong sense of foreboding seemed to envelop him.

There's someone behind me!

The red-haired boy suddenly turned his head, spread his fingers, and several puppets appeared around him, protecting him.

The oil lamp flickered gently, and the dimly lit laboratory was filled with various parts and instruments.

Nothing had been moved at all.

The red-haired boy frowned and muttered, "Strange... something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

The red-haired boy scanned the laboratory several times, but found nothing unusual.

But a warning sign in his mind kept reminding him that something had changed here.

After a long while, the red-haired boy, whose mind had been tense, let out a long sigh of relief and repeatedly told himself that there was no problem, thus suppressing the warning signs in his heart.

He dispersed the puppets around him, turned around, squatted down, and began modifying the puppets.

However, the red-haired boy had only squatted halfway down when he suddenly froze.

Look up and look ahead.

The laboratory wall in front of us was bathed in a golden light from the oil lamp.

Then he turned around to look.

The oil lamp behind me was still burning quietly.

The red-haired boy took a deep breath and slowly lowered his eyes.

!!!

There is no shadow cast by my own feet!

Only then did the red-haired boy realize what was wrong.

The laboratory was filled with so many parts, but they all had one thing in common: they were facing away from the oil lamp on the ground and cast no shadows.

At the same time, a shadow spread from the red-haired boy's back to the back of his neck, splitting into two hands that gripped the boy's neck.

[247. Chapter 246: No More Talks on the Friendly Visit]

"Uh...."

The red-haired boy's eyes widened instantly, his pupils trembling rapidly.

In the moment of crisis, the red-haired boy's drooping hands twitched slightly.

"Swish swish..."

The surrounding puppets simultaneously opened their mouths and fired countless senbon needles at the red-haired boy.

The tip of each sage is coated with a bright green venom, making it a deadly poison.

It must be said that the red-haired boy not only had an extremely skillful manipulation technique, but also created puppets with extremely high precision.

The dense, impenetrable grove of sages, each one perfectly positioned to avoid the red-haired boy's presence, completely sealing him off.

"Da da da..."

Like raindrops, thousands of needles pierced the wall.
