The Master of Konoha's Legacy

I am, after all, the commander of the Genbu Army.

While furious, Ryoma Aburame also felt a sense of unease.

After all, during that brief moment at the orphanage, Uchiha Tonan gave him an incredibly powerful impression.

So powerful that he couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

Is this the kind of powerful individual capable of killing the Kazekage and Raikage...?

Even if he's crippled, he's still in a completely different weight class from an ordinary ninja.

Aburame Ryoma stood silently for a while before continuing to move towards the root.

He knew he had messed with the wrong person.

As for the present situation, only Danzo can protect him.

Inside the orphanage, Kabuto Hatake lifted the floorboards and stepped out, standing behind Tonan Uchiha. He adjusted his glasses and said:

"Sir, won't this anger Lord Danzo?"

Uchiha Tonan shook his head and said:

"I am on equal footing with Danzo; his dog is ignorant."

I'll teach him a lesson; he won't mind.

Especially since the dog was lurking in the darkness.

I don't need to be polite with him at all.

Kabuto Hatake nodded, then asked doubtfully, "Are you really going to kill him?"

Uchiha Tonan said with a serious expression:

"Definitely."

He's no threat to me right now.

Killing him wouldn't make any sense; I wouldn't get any pleasure from revenge anyway.

We should wait for a suitable opportunity to kill him; even his death must be meaningful.

Regardless, he was a division commander, so he had some status.

"Killing someone is the simplest thing in the world."

I don't even need to lift a finger.

Even if I go to see Danzo later and specifically ask for his life.

I believe I'll see his body by tomorrow morning at the latest.

Upon hearing this, Kabuto Hatake looked puzzled and said:

"I don't quite understand why you scared him just now, sir."

Someone at your level probably wouldn't find this enjoyable.

Uchiha Tonan chuckled and said:

"Of course not, I'm just adding a little more bargaining power."

Let's start by getting some tangible benefits.

As for the matter itself, we'll see whether or not to proceed.

[Chapter 309: Late-Night Negotiations Between the Four Departments]

The moonless night sky appeared somewhat gloomy.

The stars in the sky, with their eyes half-closed, peer at the human world with their cool, faint light.

On the rooftop of the Hokage Rock, Danzo waited silently, leaning on the railing.

Because of the war, the lights in the village below were sparse.

Danzo's expression was uncertain, as if he was brewing something.

After a long while, the sound of wheels turning came from behind.

Danzo took a deep breath, a slightly awkward smile appearing on his face, and turned around to say:

"Tunan, you're here."

Uchiha Tonan pushed his wheelchair out of the darkness, stood before the fence, and said in a cold tone:

"What business does Lord Danzo have with a blind man like me in the middle of the night?"

Danzo sensed the anger in Uchiha Tonan's words.

The smile on his face stiffened slightly, and he sighed deeply:

"I'm sorry, Ryoma confessed to me today."

I really didn't expect him to be this kind of person.

Behind my back, he abused his power to persecute the village's genius.

I have already questioned his motives.

Actually, he didn't intentionally make an enemy of you.

It's just that you were too dazzling back then, which made him, who was originally of average talent, jealous.

I made a mistake in a moment of impulse.

I have already punished him enough.

He also expressed that he deeply realized his mistake.

He's been with me for so many years, and I'm a soft-hearted person.

If you really want him dead, I can execute him in order to uphold the justice of Konoha.

But what's the point of that?

Although he is not as strong as you, he has done a lot for the prosperity and stability of Konoha over the years.

Even if they didn't achieve great things, they still put in a lot of hard work.

Uchiha Tonan listened to Danzo ramble on and on, then gently shook his head and said:

"Let's get down to business first; we can talk about personal grudges later."

Danzo nodded, his face grave, and said:

"With this great victory on the front lines, the war is probably coming to an end."

"Hmm," Uchiha Tonan replied indifferently.

Danzo glanced at the expressionless Uchiha Tonan, unable to guess what he was thinking.

I could only continue:

"Konoha suffered heavy losses in this war."

I have gathered evidence of several strategic blunders by the Japanese.

We can definitely bring him down.

Now I need enough influential people to support me so that I can have a voice.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan lowered his head slightly, fiddled with his fingernails, and said leisurely:

"This matter sounds simple, but it carries a great risk in practice."

Danzo's smile vanished instantly, his eyes narrowed, and he stared directly at Uchiha Tonan, saying in a deep voice:

"What do you mean? Are you going to back out?"

Uchiha Tonan chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"No, I've always believed that if Sarutobi-sensei continued as Hokage, he would ruin Konoha."

But I'm afraid. I don't know if you, Lord Danzo, are suitable to be Hokage.

After all, I'm young and inexperienced.

Danzo immediately understood what Uchiha Tonan meant, and tried to soften his tone as he said:

"As long as you're on my side, you can name your terms."

You are, after all, a hero, and I will fight for your best interests.

Uchiha Tonan pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said slowly:

"My eyes are blind and my legs are crippled."

No one can cure it.

But I am unwilling to give up on myself like this in this life.

I also have some knowledge of medical ninjutsu and want enough resources to help me with my research.

At the same time, I also want to use my medical skills to benefit the villagers.

Danzo suddenly realized, and a forced smile appeared on his face as he said:

"I can appoint you as the Hokage's advisor and entrust you with the management of the medical and logistics departments."

"I'm sure someone as talented as you will find a way to cure yourself."

Uchiha Tonan nodded silently, gently raised his hand, spread his five fingers as if grasping at something, and murmured:

"There are actually many places in Konoha that are not illuminated by firelight."

This place is rife with espionage, intrigue, and crime.

I want to do my part to sweep away the darkness from Konoha.

Danzo frowned and said in a deep voice:

"The security force is under the control of your Uchiha clan, and I cannot interfere."

Based on your military achievements, I can recommend that you be made the captain of the garrison.

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly, and he shook his head, saying:
