The Master of Konoha's Legacy

The scorpion was now convulsing uncontrollably, foaming at the mouth, and saying:

"Uh...ah...spare me...I'll tell you..."

A strange smile appeared on Uchiha Tonan's face as he whispered:

"I can't trouble you like this. It's better to do it myself."

The pain of psychological violence is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Even a villain like Scorpion from the original work couldn't withstand this torment, and his eyelids gradually turned white.

"You are... a demon... who killed... me..."

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan got what he wanted and gently let go of his hand.

The scorpion's body fell to the ground, twitching occasionally.

Uchiha Tunan glanced down at Sasori, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked him up, walking away into the distance.

Half an hour later.

In the previous laboratory.

Uchiha Tonan was tinkering with the puppet parts left by Sasori in the laboratory.

"I used to think these things looked like toys when I saw them in anime, but I never imagined they were so sophisticated. They're practically cutting-edge technology."

At the same time, another Uchiha Tonan appeared in the laboratory, threw the scorpion in his hand on the ground, and then disappeared in a wisp of white smoke.

The one who fought Sasori before was always Uchiha Tonan's instant clone.

After all, this is Scorpion's home turf. What if Scorpion has some kind of advanced technology that could kill him?

Uchiha Tonan was always cautious, so it was impossible for him to go directly to their door without having a full understanding of the situation.

The instant the clone dissipated.

The clone's memories were transmitted into the mind of Uchiha Tonan's main body.

But Uchiha Tunan didn't even glance at Sasori. He leisurely got up, walked to a wall in the laboratory, and pressed down on the wall.

"Click click click..."

A hidden compartment appeared next to it.

Inside the hidden compartment was a small box filled with sealing spells.

Having received Sasori's memories, Uchiha Tonan naturally knew that the sealing technique of this box mainly served to shield perception and posed no danger.

He immediately opened the box and took out the scroll inside.

This scroll contains a detailed record of all the puppetry techniques that Scorpion knew, including the human puppets he developed himself.

Uchiha Tonan immediately unfurled the scroll and began to examine it carefully.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan murmured, "Has the theory of the regeneration core been developed?"

His eyes lit up immediately, and he turned his head to look at the scorpion on the ground.

A look of eager anticipation appeared on his face...

Great, all the materials for regenerating the core are here. Let's create several clones to work together.

I should be able to get back to the village before dark to cook dinner for Dou...

[Chapter 249. Returning to the Camp to Teach and Nurture]

It was evening.

The sun hid behind the mountains.

Half of the sky was a fiery red sunset, and the other half was a deep blue canopy.

Kabuto Hatake sat under the eaves, holding the container, waiting for Tonan Uchiha.

Ultimately, he was still just a child who didn't know what to do after his parents suddenly passed away.

After a long while, Kabuto Hatake heard footsteps and looked up.

Uchiha Tonan was walking towards him, holding a cylindrical object in one hand.

Kabuto Hatake quickly stood up, and when Uchiha Tonan approached, he bowed slightly and said, "Sir."

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. I'll go cook."

Kabuto Hatake was stunned. He hadn't expected that someone as powerful as Tonan Uchiha would know how to cook.

But realizing he didn't know how, he bowed and replied, "Thank you for your help."

Uchiha Tonan nodded slightly and walked into the house.

He casually placed the regeneration core on the coffee table, tied his apron, and went into the kitchen to start cooking.

"Da da da..."

Kabuto Hatake listened to the crisp, rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables coming from the kitchen.

Perhaps feeling that it wouldn't be right to do nothing, she stood at the kitchen doorway, wondering if she could help.

Uchiha Tonan's cleaver flew through the air, and the thigh meat on the cutting board was instantly separated from the bone.

This scene left Kabuto Hatake speechless with astonishment.

"Go sit at the table, you can't be of any help," Uchiha Tonan said without looking up.

Kabuto Hatake nodded and obediently sat down at the dining table.

Before long, Uchiha Tonan brought the fragrant dishes to the table.

At Uchiha Tonan's prompting, Hatake Kabuto didn't stand on ceremony and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

The meal wasn't very delicious, mainly because the ingredients were rather simple and the seasoning was just salt.

Moreover, many vegetables become moldy and rotten because they are left out for too long.

Uchiha Tonan chose to cook vegetables that were wilted but still edible.

The two of them ate in silence.

During this time, Kabuto Hatake would occasionally glance at the regeneration core on the coffee table, his eyes filled with curiosity.

However, since he wasn't familiar with Uchiha Tonan and subconsciously felt that the two were in a superior-subordinate relationship, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Uchiha Tonan ate his food slowly and deliberately, and said calmly:

"If you're curious, just ask. I'm not a man-eating beast, what's there to be afraid of?"

Kabuto Hatake swallowed his food and asked curiously, "What's that?"

Uchiha Tonan said leisurely:

"It's called a regeneration nucleus. It involves taking out a person's heart and brain using special techniques, adding special materials, and fusing the two together."

Kabuto Hatake nodded, then asked, "What's the use of this?"

Uchiha Tonan paused for a moment with his chopsticks and explained:

"A person's soul and consciousness will be sealed in the regeneration core, and because the burden of other tissues in the body has been removed, it is also protected by a special sealing technique on the outside."

This allows the flesh and blood in the regenerating nucleus to survive for a very, very long time.

It can be said that they are immortal.

"Immortal...?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of longing flashed in Kabuto Hatake's eyes.

Uchiha Tonan continued, "Yes, this guy is called Sasori."

He is a genius puppeteer from Sunagakure, and the regeneration core was developed by him.

He had always wanted to transform himself into an immortal puppet.

He happened to run into me, so I helped him out.

When we get back, I'll assemble a suitable puppet body for him so he can move freely.

"That's amazing..."

Kabuto Hatake's mouth dropped open in utter shock.

For him, he had only heard about powerful ninjutsu such as fireballs and water streams from his parents.

I never expected that it could be played like this.

Seeing Kabuto Hatake's exaggerated expression, Uchiha Tonan smiled gently and said:

"No need to be envious, immortality isn't the only path to choose."

Personally, I think his approach is unorthodox and unorthodox.

As you learn more in the future, you will eventually find your own path.

Let's eat. After we finish, we need to travel back tonight.

"Yes."

Upon hearing that they needed to hurry on their journey, Kabuto Hatake immediately agreed and quickened his pace of eating.

Half a month later, at Kikyo Mountain Leaf Camp.

Uchiha Tonan and Hatake Kabuto had just returned to the laboratory when Nara Shikaku came knocking on their door.

Nara Shikaku said anxiously, "Lord Tonan, you're finally back."

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the war?"

Nara Shikaku nodded solemnly and said, "Our assassination squad that entered the Land of Rain suffered some heavy losses."

Given the disparity in troop strength, a small squad would often encounter two or three enemy village squads.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan's tone turned cold.

"You want me to make a move?"

Nara Shikakumi and Uchiha Tonan seemed somewhat displeased, and lowered their heads, saying, "If possible..."

The main force in this war was the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the Hyuga clan. Nara Shikaku was mainly distressed by the casualties of his own ninjas, so he thought of trying to get Uchiha Tonan to take action.
