The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Clearly, Uchiha Mina's thoughts weren't that complicated; upon hearing Yamanaka Takuya's words, she immediately became agitated.

"Why did you kill Hyuga Chiharu?"

"I...I'm sorry, it was just a moment of impulse."

"Answer my question: Why did you kill Hyuga Chiharu?"

"She killed Xiaoxue first, and then seduced Tu Nanjun by being naked. I was so angry at the time."

"Xiaoxue?"

"Xiaoxue is a cat that Tunan-jun gave me, and it was the first gift he ever gave me."

Takuya Yamanaka quickly wrote down his motive in his notebook, then nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Very good. Start from when you woke up yesterday. Don't leave anything out. You can't hide anything from me."

"yesterday......."

Soon, Uchiha Mina recounted her memories of the past.

Takuya Yamanaka frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I'm done."

"Ah."

Uchiha Mina nodded, her eyes filled with despair.

Tu Nan Jun, thank you for your kindness, but I will take responsibility for what I did.

Takuya Yamanaka left the interrogation room with the transcript and went to Hiruzen Sarutobi's side.

"Lord Hokage, according to Mina Uchiha's confession, she did indeed kill Chiyuki Hyuga."

This is the transcript; please review it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the transcript and read it carefully.

The motive, process, and description of the crime scene are exactly the same.

"Hmm, there shouldn't be any mistakes."

Takuya Yamanaka hesitated for a moment, but still voiced his doubts.

"But I have a feeling that something is not right."

"Something's not right," Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, looking up in confusion.

"I don't know, I can't explain it, it's just a gut feeling."

Since a professional like Takuya Yamanaka has raised doubts, Hiruzen Sarutobi will not take it lightly.

"Murdering a classmate is punishable by death according to the village rules anyway."

You can have someone examine her memory.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Takuya Yamanaka responded and was about to order someone to investigate Mina Uchiha's memories.

"Wait a minute, let me go talk to Tu Nan first and ask for his opinion," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, stopping Takuya Yamanaka.

"Yes."

Takuya Yamanaka now realized Uchiha Tonan's place in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.

Soliciting opinions, but what kind of opinions?

Does that mean that because Uchiha Tonan said we can't examine memories, the Hokage won't let us examine memories?

Or perhaps if Uchiha Tonan persisted in pleading for leniency, the Hokage would spare a death row inmate for his sake?

hiss~

It's astonishing that a brat from the Uchiha clan carries such weight.

In the interrogation room, Uchiha Tonan stood with his hands in his hair, looking sullen and dejected.

"Tu Nan." Hiruzen Sarutobi quietly entered the interrogation room, came to Uchiha Tu Nan's side, and gently patted him on the shoulder.

Uchiha Tonan raised his head and looked at the kind and gentle Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of him. As if he had seen a relative, tears welled up in his eyes.

She grabbed Hiruzen Sarutobi and hugged him tightly, crying out:

"Lord Hokage, I... Waaah..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips curled slightly, and he sighed, saying:

"Child, I know what you're thinking, but some things are beyond our control."

"I'm so sad."

“Mina has confessed, and according to the village rules, she must be executed.”

Only in this way can we give the villagers and the Hyuga clan an explanation.

Uchiha Tonan was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief:

"Does he have to die?"

That's fantastic.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't answer directly. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked:

"After all, the deceased was from the Hyuga clan, not an internal matter of your Uchiha clan, so no one can show favoritism."

Tu Nan, I hope you can understand.

Hiruzen Sarutobi already had a plan in mind: if Uchiha Tonan insisted on protecting Uchiha Mina...

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to use other means to secretly protect Mina Uchiha.

In that case, Uchiha Tonan would definitely be grateful and work wholeheartedly for him.

However, this approach will sacrifice many interests and will affect one's authority to some extent.

Just then, Uchiha Tonan stopped crying, slowly stood up, wiped away his tears, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen:

"I know that governing a village by rules is the foundation of a village's existence."

I'm sorry, Lord Hokage, I was foolish before.

Please forgive my selfishness.

After saying that, he placed his hands on his knees and bowed deeply to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It seems that I and the village hold a much higher place in his heart than that little girl.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was secretly pleased. It would be great if this matter could be resolved completely without resorting to special methods.

Furthermore, with the death of Uchiha Mina, Uchiha Tonan completely lost his family and love.

At that time, I will be his only emotional refuge.

Very good, perfect.

"It's okay, you're still young and not mature enough."

I hope you won't harbor resentment towards the village because of what happened to Mina.

Uchiha Tonan took a deep breath and firmly shook his head, saying:

"No, this is Mina's own mistake, she can't blame anyone else."

I'm not the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, and added:

"Because it involves human life, and Mina is about to be executed, the interrogation department still needs to probe her memories."

Uchiha Tonan's heart sank slightly, realizing something was wrong.

On the surface, she looked distressed and asked, "Will it affect her health?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, but still answered honestly:

“If we delve into memories from too far back, Mina will probably develop dementia.”

Fortunately, not much time has passed since the incident, so we only need to examine yesterday's memories, and there shouldn't be any problems.

However, this process may be a little painful.

Uchiha Tonan closed his eyes sadly and said in a hoarse voice:

“She must be very scared right now, and as her boyfriend, I want to be with her.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally wouldn't refuse such a simple request, and immediately nodded in agreement:

"it is good."

[Chapter 30. Exploring Memories and Suddenly Saving People]

Hiruzen Sarutobi led Uchiha Tonan out of the interrogation room and instructed Yamanaka Takuya:

"When we examine your memories later, let Tu Nan watch from the side."

I have other things to do, so I'll leave the rest to you.

"Understood."

"Lord Hokage, thank you for your help."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gently patted Tonan Uchiha on the shoulder and sighed, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

After watching Hiruzen Sarutobi leave, Takuya Yamanaka glanced at Tonan Uchiha and said:

"Let's go."

Uchiha Tonan nodded and followed Yamanaka Takuya deeper into the interrogation room.

The two arrived outside the torture chamber, where two guarding ninjas bowed and said:

"Takuya-sama."

Yamanaka Takuya pointed at Uchiha Tonan and said, "Yes, let this little guy go in and observe. Let me know if anything happens."

"Yes."

Uchiha Tonan walked into the torture chamber alone, where he saw various medical instruments and unknown drugs scattered everywhere.
