The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"Stop talking, or the elders will definitely punish you if they hear you."

These rumors naturally reached Hiruzen Sarutobi's ears through the Anbu.

In the Hokage's office, after listening to the Anbu's report on the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a smoke ring and said:

"Uchiha Tonan, so it's that kid. He's quite determined."

He then took out his Ninja Academy exam results from the drawer.

"This child is a bit too unbalanced in his studies."

On the report card, Uchiha Tonan ranked first in theoretical knowledge, but last in taijutsu and ninjutsu.

Of course, the one with the worst overall performance was Uchiha Obito.

Because Obito Uchiha's theoretical knowledge was zero, his taijutsu was only slightly better than Tonan Uchiha's.

"What a pity." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, put the report card back in the drawer, and then stopped paying attention to Tonan Uchiha.

A useless person without any real ability is at best a loyal commoner, whose future value lies in cheering for themselves.

[3. Chapter Three: Finding a Goal and Gaining Recognition]

Time flies, and the holiday is almost over.

Uchiha Tonan has also learned many techniques of traps, assassination, disguise, and poisoning.

The system hasn't sent any notification yet, which means that Uchiha Tonan's parents are still alive and well.

Two Chunin cannon fodder, how come they're so tough?

Uchiha Tonan was somewhat troubled; he could no longer sit idly by and wait for his doom.

Having clearly chosen a political side, the next step is to demonstrate one's own value.

To gain power, one must gain recognition and then kill.

In a direct confrontation, he couldn't even defeat Obito.

The only way was assassination.

As for the target, its strength cannot be too great, nor too weak.

Ideally, the other party should not have experience in ninja assassination.

In conclusion, the only option is to start with the Hina students at the Ninja Academy.

If you are a first-year student, then you have to choose from the second and third-year students.

Strong in strength but weak in theory, he is the best choice for Uchiha Tonan.

Only by possessing strong abilities and inheriting those abilities can one stand out from their peers.

A poor understanding of the theory can reduce the chances of seeing through an assassination attempt.

The plan should be divided into three steps.

Gain approval, carry out the assassination, and handle the aftermath.

None of these three steps can be wrong.

Gaining recognition is a prerequisite for inheriting the ability.

The assassination process can only rely on one's own methods.

The aftermath would also be quite troublesome. If it alerted the Anbu, it would be difficult to guarantee that Uchiha Tonan's limited abilities would not be discovered by the Anbu.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Uchiha Tonan's eyes.

.......

The ninja academy opened the following day.

This time, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not give a speech.

I heard that the fighting on the front lines has reached a stalemate.

During recess, Uchiha Tonan quietly left the classroom and went to the third-grade classroom.

"Tenxiong-san." Uchiha Tonan waved excitedly at Uchiha Tenxiong in the classroom.

Uchiha Tenxiong is a third-year student who ranks sixth overall in academic performance.

The number one ranked member is Uchiha Tetsuhiro, who is also from the Uchiha clan.

When Uchiha Tenxiong heard someone calling him, he turned his head and was slightly taken aback.

He recognized Uchiha Tonan at a glance, the scoundrel that the clan had been talking about.

He wanted to ignore it, but he couldn't stop Uchiha Tonan from shouting in public.

He had no choice but to coolly get up, go outside the classroom, and say indifferently:

"Kid, what do you want?"

"I heard that Tianxiong-san is the number one genius among the graduates. Can I train with you?"

"Oh?" Uchiha Tenxiong responded coldly, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, clearly indicating that he was in an unusually pleasant mood.

After thinking for a moment, he said calmly, "Zhewu is the one who got first place, while I only got sixth. Why don't you go talk to him?"

Uchiha Tonan asked with a puzzled look, "Isn't Tetsu-san's good academic performance due to his high theoretical scores?"

"You have a keen eye. As a ninja, strength is the key. I'm too lazy to learn those theoretical lessons."

I train every day at the martial arts training ground north of the clan's territory. If you want to come, come by yourself.

If I have time, I can give you a few pointers.

After finishing speaking, Uchiha Tenxiong casually put his hands in his pockets and walked into the classroom without looking back.

Uchiha Tonan cheered and skipped and hopped towards the first-year classroom.

This behavior is exactly like that of a little child.

In the third-grade classroom, Uchiha Tenxiong had just returned to his seat.

Uchiha Tetsugu, who was standing to the side, turned his head and said to Uchiha Tenxiong in a low voice, "Tenxiong, stay away from that trash. He is a disgrace to the Uchiha clan."

"Hmph! My affairs are none of your business." Uchiha Tenxiong sneered.

"Hmph!" Uchiha Tetsugo also snorted coldly, turning his head to the other side.

After school, Uchiha Tonan went to the training ground north of the clan's territory, and sure enough, Uchiha Tenxiong was practicing Fire Release there.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

Boom~

A blazing fireball shot out from Uchiha Ten's mouth and crashed into the pond next to the training ground.

"Wow...that's amazing." Uchiha Tonan stood there, stunned.

Uchiha Tenxiong smiled slightly as he carried Uchiha Tonan on his back. In fact, he had already sensed Uchiha Tonan's arrival.

That fireball technique was purely for showing off.

"Kid, you're here." Uchiha Tenxiong turned around coolly, his face indifferent.

"Wow, Tenxiong-san is amazing! He can actually spew out such a huge fireball." Uchiha Tonan spread his arms wide, making a huge circle.

"Just a C-rank Fire Release technique." Uchiha Tenxiong was very satisfied with Uchiha Tonan's performance, and pointed to the wooden stake next to him.

"Your physical condition is still too poor. You should start by training your physical skills."

“Okay, Tenxiong-san.” Uchiha Tonan arrived at the wooden stake with an excited expression and began to drive the stake in seriously.

However, Uchiha Tonan's taijutsu was really bad, and Uchiha Tenxiong couldn't help but give him pointers many times, but the results were still unsatisfactory.

In the evening, Uchiha Tonan sat on the ground, panting heavily from exhaustion.

Although Uchiha Ten'o was also exhausted, he maintained a cool demeanor for the sake of his pride, standing in front of Uchiha Tonan with his hands in his pockets, and said disdainfully:

"He can't keep up after only a short training session."

Uchiha Tonan looked dejected, burying his head between his legs and stammering, "I'm sorry, I've disappointed Tenxiong-san."

“I’ve heard about you from my clansmen before. Why do you have those ignorant ideas?” Uchiha Tenxiong asked.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan buried his head even deeper, and said in a tearful voice:

"Because... I'm a good-for-nothing. My parents don't like me, and my clan looks down on me."

Only adults of the third generation smile at me.

I feel that the three generations of elders truly loved the village and loved us.

So that's how it is; the weak instinctively need to cling to the strong...

Uchiha Tenxiong instantly understood, and his tone softened slightly, no longer so cold:

"From now on, you must prioritize the family; otherwise, I will not be willing to teach you."

"I'm sorry to have disappointed you." Uchiha Tonan stood up and bowed deeply to Uchiha Tenxiong.

Uchiha Ten'o also sensed the subtle refusal in Uchiha Tonan's words, and a hint of annoyance rose in his eyes. He turned around and said:

"Get lost."

"I'm sorry." Uchiha Tonan apologized again, then took a book out of his pocket and handed it over.

"This is a gift for Tianxiong Sang. Thank you for being willing to guide my cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ten'yu turned around, fixed his gaze on the book, and said coldly:

"What is this?"

Uchiha Tonan said with a sincere expression:

"I reviewed the theoretical courses for senior students during the holidays, and these are the key points I noted down for the exam."

I hope that Tenxiong-san can truly become the top student among the graduates.

Uchiha Tenxiong was taken aback upon hearing this.

After all, most members of the Uchiha clan are quite arrogant and do not easily express their feelings. Most Uchiha clan members have never received a gift from childhood to adulthood.

Uchiha Tenxiong was no exception; when faced with the key points of the theory that his junior had painstakingly compiled for him, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
