The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"Bang~"

The wall closed, and Nono was soaked through, as if she had been pulled out of the water.

He slumped to the ground, leaning against the wall, panting heavily.

A smile of relief appeared on his face.

Where am I...?

Nonou glanced around listlessly at her surroundings.

This is a small operating room.

A large spotlight hanging from the ceiling.

Below the spotlight was a cold operating table.

Lying on the operating table was someone Nonou knew all too well.

It's Nono herself.

"Is it an illusion...?"

"Nono murmured, subconsciously trying to circulate her chakra to dispel the genjutsu."

But for some reason, Nono couldn't sense any trace of her own chakra.

It was as if the chakra had vanished into thin air.

"What exactly is going on...?"

After Nono passed through the wall, the fear in her eyes disappeared, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.

He immediately struggled to his feet and walked step by step to the operating table.

She gently placed her hands on the operating table, leaned down, and gazed at herself lying there.

He saw that his face was peaceful, and his chest was rising and falling rhythmically, as if he were fast asleep.

Just then, a gentle and magnetic voice came from behind Nono.

"It's almost dawn. Remember to put all the data on the table when you're done."

Nonou was startled and turned around abruptly to look at the wall she had just been facing.

The sound was coming from behind the wall.

The voice was so gentle, yet it instilled a fear in Nono, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably...

"Yes."

Nonou was startled and turned around again upon hearing the sound.

But on the other side of the operating table, Kabuto Hatake, wearing a mask and holding a cold scalpel, stood under the spotlight.

[Chapter 301. Despair Opens the Eyes and Devours the Soul]

"pocket?"

"Nono called out softly."

But Kabuto Hatake seemed unable to hear her at all.

The hand holding the scalpel trembled slightly as it slowly made its way toward Nono, who was lying on the operating table.

"What are you trying to do? No!"

A deep sense of fear welled up inside Nono, and she didn't know why.

Even though I was standing to the side, it wasn't her lying on the bed.

But it seemed as if some unseen instinct was warning her.

He immediately reached out his hand, intending to stop Kabuto Hatake.

But then something shocking happened to Nonou.

Her hand passed through Hatake Kabuto's hand as if it were nothing.

"What on earth is going on...?"

As the scalpel fell.

Nono suddenly felt her body become much lighter, as if she had been freed from constraints.

The next moment, forgotten memories resurfaced, viewed from a third-person perspective...

He disguised himself as an orange cat and infiltrated the orphanage.

Then they entered the underground laboratory.

However, the moment he stepped into the laboratory, his pupils lost focus.

Like a walking corpse, they walked towards the depths of the laboratory, towards the wall of the operating room.

Open the mechanism, enter the operating room, lie on the operating table...

Then, Kabuto Hatake pushed Uchiha Tonan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, in from outside.

Uchiha Tonan pointed to himself lying on the operating table.

Kabuto Hatake then put on a mask with a blank expression and began using various instruments to test his physical data.

Uchiha Tonan then pushed the wheelchair out of the operating room and lowered the wall.

"So, does this mean I'm already dead...?"

Nono stood quietly beside the operating table, watching as Kabuto Hatake dissected his own corpse, slice by slice.

Kabuto Hatake remained expressionless, moving as if he were a machine.

His technique was very skillful, but Nono noticed that his hands were trembling uncontrollably, and then said in a deep voice:

“I know you are a kind child. You must have been forced into this situation. I don’t blame you.”

Kabuto paused, closed his eyes to catch his breath, and then continued the dissection.

Nonou shouted, hoping that Kabuto Hatake could hear her.

"You must escape the control of that demon; you can't keep making the same mistakes."

Are human emotions really a burden...?

Kabuto Hatake's eyes were vacant, and he seemed lost in a daze, muttering to himself:

"To possess everything, must one sever all emotions...?"

"We've only met twice, so why do I feel pain?"

"Is it because you've implanted my mother's image into my subconscious...?"

"What is real and what is fake?"

Who is right, and who is wrong?

Kabuto Hatake's brows furrowed, and he withdrew his hand, standing there blankly, his pupils trembling rapidly.

"Clang~"

The scalpel slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

At this moment, Kabuto Hatake's black pupils rapidly expanded, as if they were about to devour his eyeballs.

The black pupils completely covered the eyeballs, then quickly contracted back in the next moment.

But wherever the pupil passed, the whites of the eyes had turned a deep crimson.

Two slowly rotating magatama were also left behind.

Upon seeing this, Nono was slightly taken aback and said in disbelief:

"Sharingan..."

So you're a descendant of the Uchiha clan who was lost to the outside world.

Kabuto Hatake also noticed the change in himself and turned to look at the glass instrument next to him.

On the glass instrument, a pair of eerie, scarlet Sharingan eyes with two tomoe marks were clearly reflected.

Kabuto Hatake narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly raised his hand to touch his eye socket, and said blankly:

"This is........

This is the power that the Master bestowed upon me; have I awakened?

The power that can only be obtained by severing emotional ties and seeing through the illusions of the world.

Is it worth it...?

"For most people, it's worth it."

They were even willing to pay a huge price and engage in bloodshed for it.

Nonou was startled and turned her head with difficulty to look.

"Click click click..."

The sound of gears turning filled the air.

The wall slowly rose, revealing Uchiha Tonan, who was wrapped in bandages.

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly as he pushed his wheelchair into the operating room.

Nono had lost her fear after entering the operating room, but now she was facing Uchiha Tonan.

For some reason, a deep sense of fear welled up inside me, and I instinctively retreated frantically.

As if in a dream, his body passed through the operating table and through Kabuto Hatake's body, arriving at the wall where he huddled, trembling.

Kabuto Hatake put down his scalpel and said calmly, "Sir."

Uchiha Tonan nodded and smiled gently at Hatake Kabuto:

"You can leave now. I'll clean up the rest."

"Yes." Kabuto Hatake gave a curt reply and walked out of the operating room.

"pocket."
