The Master of Konoha's Legacy

These students were sent to the battlefield to serve as logistics and cannon fodder.

Uchiha Tonan said softly:

"I heard that a lot of people are graduating this year."

By the way, what were the questions for this graduation exam?

Naoto Umino was taken aback upon hearing this, and stammered:

"It's...it's shuriken throwing technique."

Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow, surprised:

"You can become a genin just by throwing a shuriken?"

Naoto Umino sighed deeply, looking helpless.

"The battlefield is short-handed, and there's nothing we can do about it."

During this period, the school implemented closed management, and students practiced basic combat skills day and night.

Basically, except for a very few bottom students and most of the first-year students.

All other students passed the assessment.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan fell silent, feeling a slight pang of regret.

Children who can get into the Ninja Academy will be high-quality food in the future.

Sending them to the battlefield so early is like cutting off the spring seedlings.

What a pity....

Seeing Uchiha Tonan's gloomy expression, Naoto Umino lowered his head deeply and advised:

"Tu Nan, I know you're in a lot of pain."

But there's nothing we can do about it.

There are no more people available in the village.

I hope you understand.

Uchiha Tonan shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Go up on stage."

Kabuto Hatake immediately pushed Uchiha Tonan, who was in a wheelchair, toward the podium.

Upon seeing this, Shisui immediately took out his notebook and began taking notes while watching Uchiha Tonan on the stage.

This is a good habit that Zhishui has developed in the last two years.

Because of the matter concerning the First Elder, Shisui was ostracized within the Uchiha clan.

Almost all parents told their children not to play with Zhishui.

Previously, they were protected by the Grand Elder's trusted confidants.

However, most of those close confidants were killed by Orochimaru's sword borrowed by Uchiha Tonan.

Without the company of her peers in the clan, Zhishui found solace in her school classmates and the village.

After learning about Uchiha Shisui's situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi...

She approached him privately more than once, tried to get close to him, and brainwash him.

The results are quite remarkable.

It could be said that in Shisui's heart, Hiruzen Sarutobi's status is now slightly higher than that of Tonan Uchiha.

After all, that's how people are; once they find a new love, they tend to forget their old one.

What helpless child could refuse a kind and gentle old man?

Uchiha Tonan stepped onto the stage, cleared his throat, and then spoke in a deep voice:

“All of you present.”

A year later, probably only one-tenth of them will be alive.

Wow~

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire playground erupted in noise.

"What is Lord Tunan saying?"

"How could so many people have died?"

"Shouldn't we be preaching the Will of Fire to encourage us?"

Why did you scare us as soon as you arrived?

"Perhaps they are testing our courage."

"I'm genuinely a little scared."

.......

Uchiha Tonan waited quietly.

After a long while, the discussions on the playground gradually subsided.

Uchiha Tonan then continued:

"Very few of the living people are disabled."

Because you'd basically die the moment you encountered danger.

Disability is just a pipe dream.

"The battlefield is rife with assassinations and traps."

You will most likely not be going to the front lines.

But the dangers of the logistical battlefield are not something you can bear.

Although the casualty rate in frontal combat is high, the frequency is not too high.

However, while the two sides were locked in a stalemate, they were constantly targeting each other's supply lines.

At this point, the graduates stopped discussing and listened attentively, imagining the dangers of the battlefield.

After all, I only learned about it from teachers at school, and I didn't have such a direct experience.

But when these words come from the mouth of Uchiha Tonan, a powerful individual, they carry a completely different meaning.

Especially since this strong person was sitting in a wheelchair.

"To be honest, I don't understand why Konoha would send you kids to the battlefield."

I'm sorry I can't talk about the Will of Fire today.

Because you haven't grown into towering trees yet, and haven't produced enough leaves.

You are just tender sprouts that have just emerged.

This war should not have spread to you.

"I cannot change the decisions made by higher-ups."

I can only solemnly remind you here.

On the battlefield, one must be extremely careful and cautious; survival should be the sole objective.

"I want to apologize to you here."

"It is we, the great trees, who failed to protect you well."

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan supported himself on the armrests with both hands and struggled to sit up halfway.

They bowed their heads deeply, as if bowing to the graduates.

"Lord Tunan, you don't need to apologize to us."

My father said, "You are a great hero of Konoha, and we are all very grateful to you."

"That's right, now it's our turn to fight, and we'll definitely defeat the enemy."

"Although I am still very scared, I know that Lord Tunan is truly looking out for us."

I will definitely not let you down.

"I want to be a hero too."

"I'm already a ninja, I'm not afraid of death."

........

"Ding, Nogi Tomomori's approval has been obtained."

"Ding, you have gained Yuuto Tsukikage's approval."

"Ding, gain approval by obtaining the fragrance of the changing room."

"Ding, you have gained Mito Eita's approval."

............

[Chapter 306: Heartbreaking Pain, Still Water's Feelings]

I heard a continuous stream of system notifications in my ears.

Uchiha Tonan felt an increasing reluctance to send these children to their deaths on the battlefield.

Although these children may not be geniuses, the fact that they were able to get into the Ninja Academy means they will at least become Chunin in the future.

The children below could also understand the heartache that Uchiha Tonan was experiencing from his expression.

Everyone was immersed in a heavy atmosphere.

Uchiha Shisui meticulously recorded every word Uchiha Tonan had just said in his notebook.

After a moment's thought, I began to quickly write down my thoughts and feelings.

Tunansang.

The man who guided me to understand the Will of Fire has returned.

I thought that when we met again, he would be like the Hokage, explaining the true meaning of the Will of Fire to everyone.
