The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Uchiha Tonan nodded upon hearing this and said:

"Hmm... I understand."

Transfer half of the medical and logistical support staff there.

If there's nothing else, you may leave.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan walked into the tent.

Upon hearing this, the other high-ranking officials from various ethnic groups all left, leaving only Shimura Kyuho standing in place.

"that......"

Uchiha Tonan paused in his action of lifting the tent flap, and asked, glancing sideways:

"Jiuhe, is there anything else?"

Shimura Kyuga hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

"Lord Tunan, although Konoha suffered heavy losses on the western front, Iwagakure's plan was also thwarted."

It is virtually impossible for Iwagakure to invade the Land of Rain.

Konoha has always advocated peace and would never invade the Land of Earth.

Once medical support personnel from various locations arrive...

Then the forces on the western front would be excessive, and they would likely be redeployed.

Shouldn't we prepare earlier...?

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "I have my own arrangements. You may leave."

"Yes, Lord Tunan." Shimura Kugo bowed respectfully to Uchiha Tunan, then turned and left.

Uchiha Tonan watched Shimura Kugo's retreating figure and pondered for a moment.

He then went into the camp.

Shimura Kyuga's words were clearly relaying a message on behalf of Danzo.

With the surrender of Sunagakure and the collapse of Iwagakure's plans, the western front is now secure.

The main problem is that nobody knows that it was Uchiha Tonan who annihilated the Sunagakure army.

This achievement would naturally not be attributed to Uchiha Tonan.

In Danzo's eyes, the western front is now entirely composed of Hiruzen Sarutobi's men.

They had already claimed the credit for the victory, and although the losses at Kikyō Mountain were significant, they were negligible in the face of the overall victory.

Danzo now desperately wants Uchiha Tonan to achieve results on the northern front.

So everyone started offering advice and strategies to Uchiha Tonan.

However, Danzo was overthinking things; Hiruzen Sarutobi was more selfish than Danzo imagined.

During the war, Danzo may have put aside most of his personal desires.

Even before the war began, Danzo had given Uchiha Tonan some instructions on this matter.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't think that way.

So what if we have an excess of troops?

Given the favorable situation, why would that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi send Minato Namikaze and the others to support him?

That's absolutely impossible. At most, they'd just send some low-level ninjas to their side as a show.

High-end combat forces will be transferred to the eastern front.

With Uchiha Tonan in charge on the Cloud Village side, what they lack is high-end combat power to withstand the Third Raikage and others.

The Hidden Mist Village is mostly populated by members of the Uchiha clan, and what they lack is a sufficient number of ordinary ninjas to defend that long coastline.

Neither side had Hiruzen Sarutobi's supporters.

Uchiha Tonan estimated that Hiruzen Sarutobi would take the opportunity to switch the demands between the two sides.

Hmm... We need to keep an eye out for when Minato Namikaze and the others will go to the Eastern Front.

This is related to the Kaleidoscope of Divine Might.

In particular, Kakashi awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, and his strength reached the level of an elite Jonin.

It won't be an easy task for those Hidden Mist ninjas to kidnap Rin.

Perhaps... I'll have to take matters into my own hands again...

"If the heavens don't send rain, we'll have to water it ourselves."

Uchiha Tonan shook his head and immediately formed a hand seal, opening the passage to the underground laboratory.

He immediately created a shadow clone to remain behind, while his main body descended the spiral staircase.

[Chapter 273. Secret Leaked: The Disposal of White Dove]

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The sound of crisp footsteps echoed down the dimly lit spiral staircase.

Uchiha Tonan arrived underground and found the underground laboratory completely dark.

"it's me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the underground laboratory were turned on, instantly illuminating the space.

Kabuto Hatake emerged from the corner, placed his hands on his knees, and bowed deeply to Uchiha Tonan, saying:

"Sir, you're back."

Uchiha Tonan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your alertness is good. Let me check your homework first."

Kabuto Hatake nodded upon hearing this and followed Uchiha Tonan toward the passage on the right.

That was where Kabuto Hatake rested and studied.

After all, when Uchiha Tonan wasn't around, Kabuto Hatake didn't dare to mess with the things in the laboratory and materials room.

This was something that Uchiha Tonan didn't need to remind him of at all.

Because Kabuto Hatake is a smart man.

The two arrived at Kabuto Hatake's room, where they found that apart from the bed and table, there were basically only books.

The walls were covered with diagrams of human anatomy, presumably carved by Kabuto Hatake during his studies of the human body for easier memorization.

The room was spotless, and there was even a faint scent of perfume in the air.

Hmm... it's the kind of tea that Uchiha Tonan likes.

"Cuckoo!"

The white dove, which had been resting on the table, saw Uchiha Tonan return.

It immediately let out a joyful cry, pounced on Uchiha Tonan's shoulder, and affectionately rubbed its head against Uchiha Tonan's cheek.

Uchiha Tonan smiled indulgently, stroking the white dove's feathers.

Looking at the human anatomy diagram that Kabuto Hatake had carved on the wall with kunai, he said indifferently, "Why did you carve this thing on the wall?"

Kabuto Hatake pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and explained:

"When I was refining chakra recently, I figured out the optimal meridian path that suited me best."

It's that thickened meridian line on the wall.

I discovered when chakra flowed through my body.

The refining effect varies depending on the flow rate at different locations.

The deeper the lines are etched, the faster the flow rate.

The areas where the lines are etched shallowly are where the flow rate is slow.

This makes it easier for me to remember.

Uchiha Tonan basically never refined chakra on his own.

This is the first time I've seen something that resembles a martial arts technique.

He immediately became interested and began to read it with great interest, nodding in satisfaction and saying:

"It seems you've been working very hard lately."

Kabuto Hatake smiled faintly and said, "I want to grow up quickly and help you with your work, sir."

Uchiha Tonan glanced at Hatake Kabuto, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "That's it?"

Kabuto Hatake paused for a moment, then lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"As the older brother, I want to have enough strength to protect the legacy."

Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow slightly and pondered, "Didn't you ever think about yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Kabuto Hatake looked bewildered and said uncertainly, "Learn more things."

Uchiha Tonan nodded and said, "Learning is also a pursuit in life, which is very good."

After speaking, Uchiha Tonan looked at the next diagram of human anatomy.

But upon seeing this, Uchiha Tonan's originally gentle expression instantly turned cold, and a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.

Kabuto Hatake keenly noticed that Uchiha Tonan's expression was off, and cautiously asked, "Sir? Did I do something wrong?"

Uchiha Tonan didn't reply, just stared quietly at the picture on the wall, his expression gradually changing from cold to indifferent.

Finally, his face was completely expressionless.

The room fell into a deathly silence, and the temperature seemed to drop slightly.

Even the white dove on Uchiha Tonan's shoulder kept its neck tucked in and remained motionless.

Whether it was Kabuto Hatake's imagination or not, he had a feeling that the white dove was trembling with fear.

In Uchiha Tonan's view, there was an extremely tiny hole in the corner of the human anatomy diagram.

Normal people cannot see it at all.
