The Master of Konoha's Legacy

One of them was named Dou, and the other was named Yi.

I plan to include them both in your Hatake family's genealogy.

This way, we have a surname.

Kakashi was worried about not having a chance to do something for Uchiha Tonan.

His expression immediately turned serious, and he readily replied, "No problem, I can handle this small matter."

Seeing that the two had started talking about other things, Minato Namikaze coughed lightly and got down to business.

"Tu Nan, there's actually something else I want to tell you today."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion:

"Are we going to the battlefield?"

No problem, I'm completely recovered.

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"That's another matter."

I have already sent back the battle report from last time.

New personnel changes have also been announced in Konoha.

In short, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan immediately guessed that Hiruzen Sarutobi was definitely going to cause him trouble again.

It's unlikely to be a conspiracy; what's available on the battlefield are probably all high-sounding, overt strategies.

"Say whatever you want, I'll listen to both the good and the bad."

Minato Namikaze nodded and said, "The good news is that, in view of your merits in killing the Third Kazekage and resisting the Third Raikage..."

The Konoha leadership made an exception and promoted you to the new commander of the northern front, responsible for fighting against Kumogakure.

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly, feigning excitement as he said:

"It seems the Hokage values ​​me highly; I've really risen to the top in one step."

Seeing the happy expression on Uchiha Tonan's face, Minato Namikaze also forced a smile and said:

"The bad news is that Kushina, as a Jinchūriki, was recalled to Konoha yesterday unless there was an absolute crisis."

I was also temporarily notified to go to the western front to provide support and assume the role of the new commander.

Silence fell over the tent after these words were spoken.

Clearly, both Minato Namikaze and Kakashi felt that this decision was somewhat inappropriate.

Of course, they would only think that this arrangement put too much pressure on Uchiha Tonan.

They would never have imagined that this was Hiruzen Sarutobi's plan to kill Uchiha Tonan.

Are we going to attack Iwagakure...?

Battle of Kannakun!

What a coincidence that everything returned to its original trajectory. Is it fate's arrangement, or is someone secretly manipulating things?

Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes slightly, pretended to ponder for a moment, then clapped his hands and said:

"A very wise decision, I wholeheartedly support it."

Konoha has already signed a peace treaty with Sunagakure, so now only three ninja villages remain.

The Hidden Cloud Village is powerful, and with our current forces, it's uncertain how long it will take to achieve victory.

The eastern front has too long a coastline, and with the sea blocking the way, it can only defend and cannot attack.

Only Iwagakure on the western front was not the strongest, nor did it have any insurmountable natural barriers.

This would serve as a perfect entry point for the war.

In addition, enough ninjas have already gathered on the western front.

With just a few more high-end combatants skilled in sneak attacks and assassinations, the enemy forces of the Rain Kingdom can be quickly wiped out.

They suppressed Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) outside the borders of the Land of Rain.

Once the situation on the western front stabilizes, we can transfer the surplus troops to launch a counterattack against Kumogakure.

After listening to Uchiha Tonan's analysis, Kakashi and Minato Namikaze both agreed that it made a lot of sense and nodded in agreement.

But Minato Namikaze immediately voiced his earlier concerns.

"But what if you're the only one left here?"

What will you do if the Third Raikage of Kumogakure attacks again?

Uchiha Tonan smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Don't worry about me. The Third Raikage is old, and his strength will no longer increase."

And my strength will only grow stronger day by day.

Besides, all I need to do is stall them, no problem.

Despite saying that, the worry on Kakashi and Minato's faces did not fade.

Kakashi looked worried and said:

Even if you can fight against the Third Raikage.

However, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and their quasi-Fourth Kage are incredibly powerful.

"No one in Konoha can stop them either."

Uchiha Tonan shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, I'm fighting the Third Raikage, the two of them can't interfere."

If they dare to launch a surprise attack on the Konoha ninja while I'm fighting the Third Raikage...

"Then I'll charge into the Cloud Hidden Formation, which will only result in mutual destruction."

Right now, Uchiha Tonan's only thought is to get Namikaze Minato to take Kakashi and the others to the western front as soon as possible.

If Minato Namikaze had refused to go to the western front for his own reasons, how could Obito have been buried by the Iwagakure ninja?

Go quickly, go quickly, important business is ahead, don't worry about me.

As long as Obito's situation goes smoothly, I can protect him even if a few more Third Raikages come.

Seeing that Uchiha Tonan had said so, Namikaze Minato stopped being coy and a serious expression appeared on his face as he instructed:

"Alright, but you still need to be careful."

If you find yourself outmatched, be sure to run away immediately.

You're still young; you don't need to fight to the death on the battlefield.

Uchiha Tonan smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand. When are you leaving?"

Minato Namikaze said with a serious expression:

"We have to leave now. I've already informed my subordinates of the situation. You can go directly to the commander's tent to take over."

Kakashi's strength has reached the level of a Jonin, and with the addition of the Sharingan, he is well-suited for the battlefield of Iwagakure.

So I decided to bring them along too.

Uchiha Tonan nodded slightly and said, "I'll see you off."

With that, Uchiha Tonan escorted the two to the outside of the tent and then watched them leave.

After the two figures disappeared from Uchiha Tonan's sight.

Uchiha Tonan sat back down in the rattan chair and took out a blank intelligence scroll from his ninja tool bag.

I picked up a pen and wrote down what needed to be explained.

Immediately, he raised his finger and beckoned.

"Cuckoo~"

A white dove glided over from a distance and landed steadily on the table.

Uchiha Tonan closed the intelligence scroll, placed it in his palm, and said, "Give this to Kabuto."

The white dove nodded intelligently, then grabbed the scroll with its sharp claws and soared into the sky.

Uchiha Tonan picked up the teacup on the table and began to drink the tea leisurely, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he were thinking about something.

After a long silence, Uchiha Tonan chuckled and said:

"With the next battle just around the corner, they're still busy trying to get Minato Namikaze and Kushina out of the way."

Old man, why are you in such a hurry to kill me?

"Are you really not afraid of Konoha's defeat?"

As he spoke, Uchiha Tonan slapped his forehead and shook his head, saying:

"That's right, I'm the commander now."

If we lose, we can still take it out on the Uchiha clan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's move isn't particularly unusual.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, Uchiha Tonan would definitely use all his strength to resist the Third Raikage.

Even if they manage to withstand the attack, each battle will leave serious aftereffects.

If the northern front is successfully held in the end, Uchiha Tonan will probably be crippled even if he doesn't die.

Even because of his defensive duties, Uchiha Tonan didn't earn many battle merits.

If too many Konoha ninja die, Uchiha Tonan will have to bear the responsibility during the final reckoning.

If the northern front cannot be held, it means that Uchiha Tonan is dead.

This blame definitely falls on Uchiha Tonan.

If it's not enough to carry the burden of a dead person, then the Uchiha clan will carry it.
