The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"Pfft~"

The kunai was plunged deep into Uchiha Mina's heart.

In the next instant, two guardian ninjas arrived beside Uchiha Tonan and placed two kunai against his neck.

"hateful."

Standing before the iron bed, Yamanaka Surugawa's face was extremely grim. He roared at Yamanaka Ryoji, who was staggering to his feet by the doorway:

"Inform Takuya-sama quickly."

Ryoji Yamanaka had just woken up from the illusion and was unaware of what had happened.

After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately ran outside.

"hehe...."

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan smiled bitterly, two lines of bloody tears overflowing from his eyes.

Ignoring the kunai across his neck, he brought his head close to Mina Uchiha's forehead and gently kissed her.

"Mina...I love you..."

Just then, Yamanaka Takuya, who had heard the news, walked in.

He paused slightly, looking at the scene in the torture chamber, and said:

"What happened?"

Yamanaka Shunkawa quickly replied, "Reporting to Lord Takuya, the matter is like this..."

After listening to Yamanaka Surugawa's report, Yamanaka Takuya paused for a moment, glanced at the grief-stricken Uchiha Tonan, and said in a deep voice:

"Record your memories for me, and you may all leave."

"Yes."

Uchiha Tonan ignored Yamanaka Takuya who had entered and fumbled to untie the metal rings binding Uchiha Mina.

Only the eye mask remained on.

Then he picked up Uchiha Mina's body and walked outside with a dazed expression.

“You…” Takuya Yamanaka instinctively tried to stop him.

However, he withdrew his hand halfway through, and sighed:

"You go."

Uchiha Tonan, his face pale, glanced at Yamanaka Takuya and said in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you."

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan staggered away.

For some reason, looking at Uchiha Tonan's back gave Yamanaka Takuya a sense of desolation.

"You've already mastered the Sharingan? Even two Chunin couldn't stop you. This kind of talent..."

Takuya Yamanaka narrowed his eyes and glanced at the record in his hand.

"Let the Hokage decide."

After leaving the torture chamber, Uchiha Tonan did not go directly to the cemetery or the clan's territory.

Instead, they chose to take a detour, passing through the bustling commercial street of Konoha Village.

How could such a scene be without an audience?

Along the way, people around us pointed and whispered.

The guards tried to approach and ask questions, but were stopped by the ANBU members temporarily dispatched by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Where is he going?" In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the crystal ball in front of him, deep in thought.

In his eyes, Uchiha Tonan's current situation is very bad.

Hiruzen Sarutobi counted the losses: in just three months, Uchiha Tonan had lost his cousin, parents, classmates, and girlfriend.

None of the family ties, friendships, or romantic love remained.

If you replaced any other child of the same age, they would definitely turn to the dark side.

Even if he doesn't turn evil, he'll probably become decadent.

"This is difficult. Why didn't I think of this before?"

They should have intervened to save that girl.

Tu Nan, I hope you won't let me down.

Uchiha Tonan, carrying Uchiha Mina's body, sat down on the swing outside the Ninja Academy.

In the shadows, several secret agents were monitoring various locations.

"Mina, this is where we first met."

Without you here, I don't plan to stay any longer.

I will apply for early graduation at the end of this semester.

Take a look.

Uchiha Tonan reached out and gently pulled open the blindfold of Uchiha Mina in his arms a crack.

Beneath the blindfold, Uchiha Mina stared wide-eyed in terror.

If you died with your eyes wide open in disbelief, then don't look at it, lest you frighten others.

Uchiha Tonan pretended to sob for a moment, then withdrew his hand from the blindfold and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Then he carried Uchiha Mina's body to the cemetery for burial.

After the burial, Uchiha Tonan knelt at the gravesite for a whole night.

Perhaps because Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly gave the order, no one bothered him during that time.

After all, this was the time when Uchiha Tonan was at his weakest and most in need of comfort.

This is also the perfect time to take advantage of the situation; how can we let such a great opportunity slip by to others?

So, as dawn broke, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived behind Tonan Uchiha.

"Tunan, cheer up. Mina definitely wouldn't want to see you like this."

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice, Uchiha Tonan turned around and stood up.

She pursed her lips, then forced a smile and said:

"Yes, Mina said he likes mature and stable people, I can't cry... I can't cry..."

As he spoke, tears welled up in Uchiha Tonan's eyes, and he could only wipe them away with his hands.

While wiping, he explained:

"Something got into my eyes."

Seeing this scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply and gently stroked Uchiha Tonan's hair, saying:

"Sigh~ You've been through so much and lost so much during this time."

But you still have the village, and you still have me.

There are many, many people who care about you.

You are still young, the village will protect you, and I will protect you too.

When you grow up, we'll need you to protect the village.

Uchiha Tonan was taken aback upon hearing this, gazing at Hiruzen Sarutobi with her bright eyes, and said in a daze:

"Lord Hokage..."

“Tunan.......”

"Lord Hokage... Waaah..."

Unable to contain his emotions any longer, Uchiha Tonan hugged Sarutobi Hiruzen tightly and buried his head in his chest.

It's just like a child who has been wronged outside.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked down at Uchiha Tonan, who was sobbing in his arms, his eyes slightly narrowed, but it was unclear what he was thinking.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Tonan, who was feigning grief, was also racing with thoughts.

Is it really that hard to gain this old man's approval?

It seems that, apart from their parents, the other few people who have gained recognition are all children who are inexperienced in the ways of the world.

This system doesn't even provide a progress bar, it's really a headache.

A little while passed like this.

The red sun on the horizon leaped gently, rising from behind the Fire Shadow Rock.

The golden sunlight shone on the two of them, accompanied by green leaves fluttering in the wind, creating a harmonious and natural scene.

Seeing that it was almost time, Uchiha Tonan broke free from Hiruzen Sarutobi's embrace, took a deep breath, and forced a smile:

"Hokage-sama, thank you. I will pull myself together and protect our village."

Seeing that Uchiha Tonan was no longer sad, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no despair or descent into darkness, thank goodness.

He immediately revealed a kind and warm smile and said:

"Are you able to go to school on time tomorrow? Do you need me to approve your leave?"

"I'm fine."

"Have you been having any difficulties in your life lately...?"

.......

The two chatted as they left the cemetery.

They walked together to the intersection of the commercial street before parting ways.
