The Master of Konoha's Legacy

But the immense grip on my neck and the feeling of suffocation did not disappear.

The red-haired boy's eyes shifted to the corner of his eye, and only then did he see the dark shadow on his shoulder.

Are those Konoha ninjas here...?

In other words, that man might also come.

Damn it... when exactly is this happening?

"Shhh..."

At the same time, a series of crawling sounds filled the laboratory.

In the center of the laboratory floor, sandworms emerged from the soil.

These jet-black sandworms are rapidly devouring the soil on the ground.

Gradually, the number of sandworms increased, becoming as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

The ground was swallowed up, creating a deep circular crater that is gradually expanding thanks to the sandworms' efforts.

"How cautious you are! There are explosive tags and alarm devices you've planted all over the place."

From within the deep pit came the gentle voice of Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan was standing on a round stone pillar, slowly rising from the pit, as if he were riding an automatic elevator.

After the stone pillar has risen completely to be level with the ground.

Under Uchiha Tonan's control, the rock rapidly transformed into a stone seat.

Uchiha Tonan ignored the other party's wary gaze and sat down gently.

He then waved his hand and said, "Let's disperse."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless tiny black sandworms burrowed into the ground.

Uchiha Tonan then carefully examined the red-haired boy who was controlled by the Shadow Imitation Technique, and said slowly:

"I advise you not to move. I'm not here to kill you."

If you're willing to have a proper talk, just blink.

The red-haired boy immediately blinked.

Uchiha Tunan's lips curled slightly as he controlled the shadow that was gripping the red-haired boy's neck to fade away.

The red-haired boy coughed heavily a few times, then took a few deep breaths and stared intently at Uchiha Tonan.

The two of them just stared at each other silently.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan said with certainty, "Sasori."

Upon hearing this, Scorpion frowned and said in a deep voice, "You know me?"

Uchiha Tonan nodded gently and said, "We've known each other for a long time. I've heard that you are the most talented puppeteer in Sunagakure."

Scorpion lowered his eyes slightly, moved his right foot a little, and noticed that a small hole had appeared in the ground at some point.

It seems that Uchiha Tonan controlled the sandworms to drill the hole before using Shadow Imitation Technique to ambush him from underground.

"What do you want from me? If you want the body, you can take it."

Having witnessed Uchiha Tonan's strength, Sasori knew that he would have almost no chance of winning if the two were to fight.

He immediately expressed his willingness to give up the corpse of the Third Kazekage, which he had finally obtained.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"If it were alive, I might be interested, but a corpse is out of the question."

Besides, I deliberately left the body with you that day.

Consider this a small gift to you when we first meet.

Actually, I came here to ask you for a favor.

Don't you want the body?

Scorpion breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said, "Go ahead."

Uchiha Tonan took out a storage scroll, retrieved the contents, and placed it on the ground.

It was the instrument that had broken down in the lab before.

"This thing is broken, and I don't know how to fix it."

Scorpion raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised, and said, "You came to me just to have me fix this?"

Uchiha Tonan shook his head and said:

"Of course not, I've loved learning since I was a child."

While you're fixing it, please also teach me how this thing works.

If this thing breaks again, I won't need to bother you all this way.

At this point, Uchiha Tonan leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice:

"in addition......

I need all your knowledge about puppetry.

Especially the human puppets you created yourself.

"Impossible!" Scorpion refused resolutely, his hands even assuming a fighting stance.

Uchiha Tonan chuckled and waved his hand casually, saying:

"Don't speak so absolutely."

Most things in this world have a price; name your price.

You can ask for anything: ninjutsu, secret medicines, human materials, or money.

Knowledge can only be renewed and innovated when it is shared.

What kind of monopoly is this?

Scorpion, looking ready for battle, said in a deep voice:

"I don't want anything. You're already a Konoha ninja, so strong. Why would you need to learn puppetry?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan stroked his chin and pondered:

"Usefulness... I really haven't thought about it."

I just happened to run into you, and I saw that you were weak and easy to bully.

I feel like I've missed out on this trip if I don't get something from you.

I learned this, purely to expand my knowledge base.

Upon hearing this, Scorpion's face darkened with anger, and he said in a cold voice:

"Impossible. These are all secrets of Sunagakure. I would rather die than give them to you."

Uchiha Tonan spread his hands and said calmly, "Then there's nothing to talk about."

"Whoosh~"

A black puppet with a demonic face appeared behind Uchiha Tonan.

The puppet's body extended six puppet arms, each with a sharp blade protruding from its tip, aiming to stab at the back of Uchiha Tonan's head.

"boom!"

A sharp stone pillar jutted out from the ground, piercing through the masked puppet and hanging it from the pillar.

At the same time, Scorpion had already launched his attack.

Suddenly, he leaped backwards onto the wall.

With his feet firmly planted on the wall, he flicked out a scroll, unfurled it, and shouted:

“Severe erosion and flow.”

Suddenly, a torrent of water burst forth from the scroll, hurtling towards Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan quickly shook a storage scroll and put the instruments on the ground into it.

Then he stretched out his palm and aimed it at the incoming water jet.

Uchiha Tonan's palm rapidly grew larger, completely obscuring himself from behind.

"Zzzzz~"

The corrosive flow struck his palm, emitting a pungent white smoke, but it did not harm Uchiha Tonan's palm in the slightest.

Every day, whenever he had free time, Uchiha Tonan would absorb the power of nature to train.

Without worrying about the power of emotions, Uchiha Tonan's rate of absorbing natural energy was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

At this point, Uchiha Tonan's indestructible strength had probably surpassed that of the Monkey King.

It should be noted that Uchiha Tonan had only been practicing the Vajra Indestructible Technique for less than six months.

A significant amount of natural energy was used to cultivate Sage Chakra.

This speed of cultivation is terrifying.

[Chapter 248. Testing the New Technique: Soul Searching and Spirit Seizing]

A moment later, the Flowing Corrosion Technique seemed to have been completely exhausted, and Uchiha Tonan then deactivated the Multi-Size Technique.

It must be said that what Uchiha Tonan gained most from this war was the secret techniques and bloodstains of the Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, and Kurama clans.

Their ninjutsu may not be outstanding in terms of attack or defense, but each has its own advantages.

Uchiha Tonan even had a feeling that he had transcended the realm of ninjas and become a cultivator from a novel in his previous life.

The laboratory floor was riddled with pits and craters from the erosion caused by the erosion of the rapid flow of water.

The entire laboratory was filled with a white mist containing a potent toxin.

Scorpion's figure had already disappeared, but during the fight just now, it was discovered that the Fiery Flow was ineffective against Uchiha Tonan.

They immediately activated the mechanism and escaped through the secret escape passage.
