The Master of Konoha's Legacy

They were Uchiha Tonan's backup plan, and their loss was the most unacceptable.

If the previous methods fail, Uchiha Tonan can directly kill Naruto and Sasuke and awaken the Rinnegan.

With the support of powerful eye energy, he could probably rival Kaguya's level.

To acquire powerful eye power, one naturally needs to rely on the Uchiha clan.

After all, his own Seed of the Path of the Curse could grant others the ability to awaken the Sharingan.

However, planting the Dao seal requires the source of life, which is extremely precious.

If less source material is given, the transformation and assimilation effect will be poor, and it will be very difficult to open one's eyes.

Giving too much would damage Uchiha Tonan's foundation.

Therefore, the source material can only be used for those with great potential, to cultivate them as high-quality seedlings.

Soon, Uchiha Tonan arrived at the underground storage room and put the items he needed into the storage scroll.

Back in the living room, Uchiha Tonan glanced at the wooden carvings on the altar, which were now covered in dust.

He paused immediately, hesitated slightly, and gently shook his head, saying, "Never mind."

After saying that, his figure disappeared into the darkness.

In the past, they would carve a wooden sculpture after killing someone, which could then be displayed in public for entertainment purposes.

However, Uchiha Tonan's status and position are no longer what they used to be, so these wood carvings are no longer of much use to him.

Most importantly, this time I was completely exhausted from fighting on the battlefield.

The combined number of troops on the western and northern fronts alone is close to 10,000.

If they were all carved into wood, it would be such a waste of time.

Moreover, Uchiha Tonan couldn't even remember what most people looked like.

Soon, Uchiha Tonan returned to his room at the orphanage.

Inside the room, Kabuto Hatake was kneeling beside the cradle, quietly watching the sleeping Hatake Yu.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Tonan's instant clone was sitting in a wheelchair reading a book.

Upon seeing Uchiha Tonan return, Kabuto Hatake immediately stood up and bowed, saying:

"gentlemen."

Uchiha Tonan nodded slightly and handed the storage scroll from his ninja tool pouch to Hatake Kabuto, saying:

"Everything is mostly ready, come with me."

The two then crossed the living room and went into the study.

At Uchiha Tonan's signal, Kabuto Hatake lifted a wooden board, revealing hardened soil.

Uchiha Tonan immediately had a thought, and chakra spread out from the soles of his feet.

But the soil seemed to possess sentience, sinking into the ground on its own and transforming into a spiral staircase.

Both of them walked down the stairs in silence.

As Kabuto walked, he kept taking out glowing beads from his storage scroll and embedding them in the stone wall for illumination.

After a long while, Kabuto Hatake noticed that Uchiha Tonan, who was ahead of him, had suddenly stopped and asked softly:

"Sir, why did you stop?"

Uchiha Tonan shook his head slightly and said:

"We've reached the bottom; below is the Leaf Village barrier."

Even though I know that passing through the barrier seal can bypass the sealing class's perception.

But if I'm not around, and some small animal manages to cross the barrier through the passage, someone will notice.

Kabuto Hatake frowned upon hearing this, puzzled, and asked, "Why not build the laboratory outside the village?"

Uchiha Tonan chuckled softly, controlling the surrounding soil to recede in all directions, and said leisurely:

"Don't underestimate the ninjas of Konoha. Orochimaru is a prime example."

It's actually quite easy for passing ninjas to spot them outside the village; as the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet."

At least within the village, those ninjas dared not recklessly use their senses.

After a long while, the underground world became empty, its size matching that of the welfare home on the surface.

Under Uchiha Tonan's arrangement, Hatake Kabuto began to take out various items from his storage scrolls to set up the laboratory.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Tonan began to refine the giant laboratory.

Suddenly, as he was setting up the tables and chairs, Kabuto Hatake casually remarked:

"Actually, I think Nono is a pretty good person."

Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at Hatake Kabuto.

But his expression was calm, as if his words were merely an objective statement, devoid of any subjective emotion.

However, while Kabuto Hatake could deceive others, he couldn't deceive Tonan Uchiha.

He was clearly pleading for Nono from the sidelines.

Uchiha Tonan continued working, but his eyes gradually narrowed.

It seems this guy isn't quite as ruthless as he was in the original story.

Was it because of something he left behind that he still held onto love and hope for this world...?

Although Kabuto Hatake was engrossed in his work, he was filled with anxiety.

He knew Uchiha Tonan's personality.

He himself didn't know why he suddenly pleaded for Nonou.

Perhaps it was out of gratitude that Nonou took care of his deceased relative.

Of course, the two were not related, and Kabuto Hatake held back a few tricks when he pleaded for her.

If Uchiha Tonan questions him, he will simply evade the question by stating objective facts.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan's reply echoed in the empty basement.

"She is a spy ninja from Root, and she is one of Lord Danzo's subordinates."

Kabuto Hatake was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded in sudden understanding and said, "I see..."

Uchiha Tonan turned around and slowly walked towards Kabuto Hatake, seemingly to explain something to him.

"With her around, when those children grow up, no matter which department in Konoha they go to, as long as they have talent, they will definitely be pulled into Root and become a ruthless tool."

Uchiha Tonan walked to the side of Hatake Kabuto, who was engrossed in organizing experimental equipment, and said with a gentle smile:

"Let her be the first volunteer."

You'll be in charge of this.

Let me see just how much your magnanimity has grown.

Upon hearing this, Kabuto Hatake stood up, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and nodded without any expression on his face.

"Yes..." (To be continued)

[Chapter 297 Verbal Confrontation Strikes at the Weakness]

Kabuto Hatake nodded, a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and said:

Our family lives in...

...........

My mother tells me stories every night...

"...that day..."

When Kabuto Hatake was about to talk about the day his parents passed away.

The scene of Uchiha Tonan's first appearance suddenly flashed into his mind.

She snapped out of her reverie in an instant, pretended to be thirsty, and started drinking juice.

He was shocked to realize that he had unknowingly revealed all his personal information to the other party.

Is this the intelligence-gathering capability of Root spies...?

There were no illusions, no torture; everything unfolded naturally.

Most people wouldn't even notice it if they didn't think about it carefully.

Seeing that Kabuto Hatake had finished his juice and remained silent, Nonou looked nervous and said:

"Is that all? And then what?"

"Has something happened to them?"

Kabuto Hatake shook his head sullenly.

Nonou thought that Kabuto Hatake didn't want to recall the scene of his parents' death, so she calmed herself down and began to guide him:

"You became an orphan because of the war?"

Kabuto Hatake was momentarily unsure whether to continue answering, so he could only bite the bullet and say:

"Yes, if it weren't for your timely arrival, Yi and I would both be dead."

Nonou nodded, a look of resentment on her face, and said, "Which village's ninja is this? So evil."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kabuto Hatake suddenly raised his head, stared straight at Nono, and said coldly, "Konoha."

Upon hearing this, Nonou was taken aback, paused for a moment, and then bowed deeply to Kabuto Hatake, saying:

"I apologize to you on behalf of Konoha."

Actually, there are still many good people in Konoha.

Kabuto Hatake took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "The master said that it's impossible to distinguish people in this world by good or bad."

Nonou frowned and said softly:
