The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"You really have no interest in the Hokage position?"

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly as he said calmly:

"To me, the Hokage is just a symbol."

I just want to serve the villagers in a down-to-earth manner.

Besides, if I didn't become the leader of the Dark Division...

Do you think I'll still take on missions like other ninjas?

Although I am not strong enough to be in the top half right now.

But ordinary ninjas are no match for me.

I'm not at the point of needing to retire yet.

Upon hearing this, Danzo hardened his heart and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Alright, the position of leader of the Dark Division is yours."

This is my bottom line.

From now on, you must not mention Longma's matter again.

I hope you can make peace with him and assist me in governing Konoha from now on.

Seeing that Danzo agreed, Uchiha Tonan smiled gently and said:

"Of course, I'm not a stingy person."

The most important thing in life is to be happy.

A generous heart makes for a broad path.

If you are calculating, you will find complaints everywhere.

If you open your heart, every moment is springtime.

If one's heart is not as vast as the sea, how can one experience the calm and tranquility of life?

In this life, one must be able to withstand lies, endure perfunctory treatment, and tolerate deception.

And you must also forget your promises.

Danzo, listening to Uchiha Tonan's long-winded explanation, worried that Uchiha Tonan might make some more unreasonable demands, so he quickly changed the subject:

"Great, the Chinese New Year is just two months away."

The fighting on the front lines is no longer so intense.

Moreover, Iwagakure's peace envoys are already on their way.

Without the constraints imposed by Iwagakure, Konoha's manpower was no longer strained.

It's estimated that Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha will return.

When the time comes, you must persuade Uchiha Fugaku to stand on my side.

The Uchiha were, after all, a powerful clan in Konoha, and their achievements on the eastern front were quite respectable.

As for the other smaller families, I've already made contact with most of them.

Uchiha Tonan nodded slightly, pushed his wheelchair with both hands, and drove into the darkness behind the Hokage.

"Then I'll offer my congratulations in advance to the Fourth Generation Lord."

A cool breeze suddenly arose, and the withered yellow leaves fluttered and drifted in the wind.

An indescribable fanaticism surged in Danzo's eyes.

He watched silently as Uchiha Tonan's figure disappeared from sight.

After a long while, a dark figure darted out from the forest behind the Hokage Rock, landed in the center of the platform, and knelt down on one knee before Danzo, saying:

"Lord Danzo, it is my fault for implicating you and causing you to pay such a heavy price."

Danzo turned around, placed his hands on the railing, and gazed at the village below as the lights gradually went out. A strange light flickered in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"It's none of your business, that guy knows perfectly well what's going on."

We're allies, but we've both tacitly kept it to ourselves.

I never imagined that making the wrong decision back then would come at such a high price.

The time is almost up. Send someone to Daming Prefecture to ask the magistrate to come back in two months.

Such a significant event as the Hokage's abdication requires someone with sufficient prestige to preside over it.

"Yes," Aburame Ryoma replied respectfully, then used his Body Flicker Technique to leave.

After a long time, the lights in the village below had gone out, and the darkness in the distance swept in like a wind, as if enveloping the entire Leaf Village.

Danzo's suppressed laughter echoed from the Hokage Rock.

"After so many years, I have finally waited for this moment."

"Hiruzen, even your disciple is on my side."

Let's see how you argue with me this time.

"Only in my hands can Konoha achieve its glory."

"Uchiha Tunan...

You descendants of an evil clan, trying to play tricks on me.

Once I've completely seized power, I'll show you what true political maneuvering is all about.

I don't need any Hokage advisors pointing fingers at me.

You should just stick to being the director of your orphanage...

[Chapter 311 Night Visit to Sarutobi: Two-Headed Meatball]

It is now October.

As winter approaches, the leaves of Konoha appear somewhat desolate and chilly under the night sky.

If a powerful individual were to look down upon Konoha, they would occasionally spot a few dark figures darting across the rooftops.

These were all during wartime, when Konoha's secret service was transmitting intelligence and searching for spies.

Under the dim streetlights, Uchiha Tonan pushed his wheelchair alone, heading towards the Sarutobi clan's territory.

The shadowy figures that occasionally flashed across the rooftops on both sides seemed to completely ignore Uchiha Tonan.

This was Uchiha Tonan using the Kurama clan's Five Senses Illusion Technique on anyone who approached him during his journey.

They were shielded from their own perception.

Uchiha Tonan has mastered almost all of Konoha's blood-stained ninjutsu.

Once Minato Namikaze and his wife, along with Obito, are dead, Uchiha Tonan will need to consider obtaining blood samples from other villages.

For Uchiha Tonan now, he can go wherever he wants without anyone being able to keep track of him.

Moreover, given the current situation, neither Danzo nor Hiruzen Sarutobi would be foolish enough to send someone to monitor Uchiha Tonan.

If I get caught, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

Not long after.

"Clatter, clatter~"

The sound of a wheelchair rolling across the stone floor echoed through the passageway of the Sarutobi clan's territory.

But the Sarutobi clan members in the houses along the road were still fast asleep, and none of them could hear them.

This wasn't an illusion technique; rather, Uchiha Tonan used wind whispers to focus his sound into a line and shoot it towards Hiruzen Sarutobi's residence ahead.

He reminded Hiruzen Sarutobi that he was almost there and to hurry out and greet him.

Today, Uchiha Tonan is here to have a serious talk with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

One should treat everyone equally and without favoritism.

If Uchiha Tonan could forgive Danzo, his former mortal enemy, why couldn't he forgive Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Besides, Uchiha Tonan admitted that he also had his faults.

If you kill all of someone else's sons and still hold a grudge, that's really going too far.

It's always better to be more generous in life.

In the spacious courtyard.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't rest; instead, he sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the photos in his hand.

Over the past two years, he has gotten used to it.

I look at photos until very late every day before going to sleep.

Suddenly, Hiruzen Sarutobi heard a crisp rolling sound in his ear, and the sound was getting closer and closer to his residence.

A look of doubt flashed in his eyes. He put the photo away and got up to walk outside.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at the door and opened it, he was slightly taken aback.

But then he saw someone he had been longing for day and night, someone he wished he could devour, driving towards him on the dimly lit street.

Uchiha Tonan pushed his wheelchair slowly from the darkness into the dim light of the courtyard.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared coldly at Tonan Uchiha, a chilling hatred flashing in his eyes.

Uchiha Tonan's arrival was somewhat sudden, and Hiruzen Sarutobi needed to restrain his inner impulses before he could put on the mask of hypocrisy.

But Uchiha Tonan broke the silence first:

"Master, did you know that Lord Danzo had just spoken with me, so you waited for me here specifically?"

For some reason, after Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking,

Attention was immediately drawn to the content of his conversation with Danzo.

Even he himself didn't realize that the hatred in his heart seemed to have faded a lot.

He immediately nodded slightly and said:
