The Master of Konoha's Legacy

The branches and leaves of the trees in the forest swayed gently.

Dozens of meters behind him, a leaf was bent deeply by the wind, letting in the moonlight that it had been blocking.

A beam of moonlight shone through the dense foliage into the forest.

It revealed the outline of a human figure.

The humanoid silhouette remained motionless, pitch black, seemingly blending into the surrounding darkness.

Just like that, quietly...

He stared at Zetsu, who was criticizing Obito not far ahead.

"I hope he doesn't die in this war."

Speaking of war, I'm reminded of that guy again. I wonder when I can go see him and see how he's doing.

"Could you please not stop me? Let me satisfy my curiosity."

"That kind of person is cruel and selfish, and it's impossible for them to be obedient."

Moreover, his strength is too great; if we get too close, we risk being exposed.

Yes~

I still think of him now.

It felt like he was standing behind me, staring at me with the eyes of someone eyeing prey.

"Ew~ I'm so scared~"

As soon as Jue finished speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Then, as if possessed, slowly...

Slowly...

He turned his head away.

What comes into view is a quiet and secluded dense forest.

A pale beam of moonlight appeared and disappeared with the rhythm of the wind.

There was nothing behind him.

Sudden.

The wind stopped.

The leaf returned to its original position, blocking the only sliver of moonlight once more.

The entire forest was plunged into darkness, eerily quiet.

After a long while, Zetsu turned back and continued to observe Obito on the battlefield with a blank expression.

"Were you scared by what I just said?"

"No."

"I think you're making excuses, otherwise why would you look back?"

"I'm just being appropriately cautious."

"Then why did you stare at it for so long?"

There aren't that many whys.

......

In the blood-soaked battlefield.

One by one, Konoha ninjas and Iwagakure ninjas fell in the battle.

Yuta Hyuga is a Jonin of the Hyuga clan.

He had just single-handedly killed an Iwagakure Jonin using Gentle Fist.

However, most of his physical strength was also depleted by the battle.

He kept glancing around with his eyes rolled back, trying to avoid being ambushed.

He was panting heavily, his hands on his knees, and said angrily:

"Damn Iwagakure ninjas, if only Lord Tonan were still here..."

As she spoke, Hyuga Yuta's gaze quickly swept across the battlefield.

Suddenly, Hyuga Yuta froze, then looked up into the distance.

In Bai Yan's field of vision, a figure was standing above the distant forest.

What is that?!

However, just as their gaze locked onto the figure, before they could even make out the face, they realized that...

In Hyuga Yuta's eyes, the moon behind that figure instantly turned blood red.

Strange patterns even appeared on the surface of the blood moon.

In an instant, Hyuga Yuta felt a loud bang in her mind, and then she lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Uh......"

"Shu~"

A flash of white light, and Hyuga Yuta's head was severed by an Iwagakure chunin with a kunai.

A gentle breeze rose again, rippling the sky above the forest.

Under the pale moonlight, it seemed as if pale white waves were being stirred up.

Uchiha Tonan, dressed in a black trench coat, stood steadily on the tip of a tree branch, his figure rising and falling with the waves.

Several white doves landed on Uchiha Tonan's head and shoulders.

The rest of the white doves circled around Uchiha Tonan, flapping their wings merrily and fluttering up and down.

"The joy of farming comes from the expectation of the harvest."

At such crucial moments, I can't help but feel excited.

Uchiha Tonan watched the fierce battle in the distance with indifferent eyes, slowly raising his arm as if trying to grab something.

A white dove that had been flying around Uchiha Tonan discovered the spot.

It landed first on the back of Uchiha Tonan's hand.

Uchiha Tonan brought his hand close to his face, and with his other hand gently stroked the feathers on the back of the white dove, he said slowly:

"A creature that is obsessed with emotions and lacks reason."

They are not worthy of such great power.

You're right...

The white dove nodded in a human-like manner.

He then squinted his eyes, enjoying Uchiha Tonan's gentle caresses.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan's eyes narrowed slightly.

He saw Minato Namikaze gather Kakashi, Obito, and the others to his side.

Uchiha Tonan's indifferent profile immediately contorted into a sinister and terrifying smile as he said:

"Is it finally starting...? I can't wait..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tonan's figure vanished.

White doves scattered and flew up, making cheerful "coo-coo" sounds.

[Chapter 266. The Battle of the Bamboo Forest Plan Has Changed]

On the battlefield, Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to quickly weave through the crowd.

He knocked out an Iwagakure chunin with a chop to the neck and threw him to Yamanaka Inoichi behind him.

Yamanaka Inoichi understood immediately, placing his hands on the foreheads of the Iwagakure ninja and using his mind-reading technique.

A few breaths later, Minato Namikaze gathered Kakashi and the others at the rear, and then, standing beside Inoichi Yamanaka, asked intently:

"Haiyi, did you see how they got here?"

Yamanaka Inoichi closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I see it, it's the Land of Grass."

A bridge! They built a great bridge between the mountains of the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass, and named it Kannabi.

A look of understanding flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes, and he immediately gave the order:

"Kakashi, stand next to Inoichi-senpai."

"Haiyi, share the information with Kakashi."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi nodded and placed his hand on Kakashi's forehead.

In a short while, the geographical location of Kannabi Bridge was transmitted to Kakashi's mind.

After the memory transfer was completed, Yamanaka Inoichi and Namikaze Minato looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Minato Namikaze then pulled Kakashi and the others, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive in a quiet forest.

Minato Namikaze then pulled a specially made kunai from his pocket and handed it to Kakashi, saying:

"Kakashi, this is a gift for you becoming a Jonin."

Similarly, you've already learned about the information we just discussed.

I hereby temporarily appoint you as the squad leader to carry out this emergency mission.

That bridge must be destroyed.

Kakashi accepted the specially made kunai and solemnly promised, "I will definitely complete the mission."

"It's us."

Obito, not to be outdone, retorted:

"Minato-sensei, you can rest assured with me on your side."
