The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Kakashi nodded, then suddenly remembered what Kabuto had told him earlier, and said calmly:

"Then I'll be going now."

I plan to take Yanbo and Yi back to the Hatake family.

After all, since they've joined the Hatake clan, they're not suited to living in an orphanage.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled faintly:

“You are the chief of the Hatake clan, and they are the Hatake clan members, so naturally they must listen to your arrangements.”

After a long while, Kakashi carried Hatake Iku in one arm and led Hatake Kotobuki away from the orphanage by the other.

After seeing Kakashi off, Uchiha Tonan pushed the wheelchair back into the house.

At that moment, Kabuto Hatake was holding a teapot and pouring tea into teacups on a low table.

He glanced at Uchiha Tonan out of the corner of his eye and his heart skipped a beat.

Uchiha Tonan's face was filled with an extremely gentle smile.

Having known each other for so long, Kabuto Hatake had never seen Tonan Uchiha with this expression in private.

But it was clear that Qi Mu's forehead was already soaked with sweat.

He took a deep breath, put down the teapot, placed his hands at his sides, and bowed his head, saying, "Sir."

Uchiha Tonan's eyes, hidden beneath bandages, were fixed on Hatake Kabuto. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest as he spoke softly:

"It's a small matter, it doesn't matter to me at all."

Actually, you can just tell me directly, or you don't need to tell me at all.

I wouldn't say anything if they just sent the body away.

But you used the dumbest method.

Judging by the nature of the act, you're plotting against me.

It seems I've been too lenient with you; you've started trying to outsmart me.

That's really nice.

As Uchiha Tonan recounted his story, Kabuto Hatake's hands and feet began to tremble instinctively.

Sweat gathered at the tip of his nose and dripped down.

Finally, he bent his knees, knelt on the ground, and pounded his head on the ground, saying in a deep voice:

"Sorry, I didn't think that much about it."

Uchiha Tonan's smile deepened, and he leaned forward slightly, speaking gently:

Use your cleverness where it's needed.

The next moment, Kabuto Hatake's pupils suddenly contracted as he realized that the surrounding environment had suddenly darkened.

dark.......

Darkness so profound that you can't see your hand in front of your face.

Along with it came a suffocating feeling of despair.

Every breath was so difficult.

Just like a drowning person, the body instinctively struggles.

In this environment, time seems to lose its meaning...

Half an hour later, Kabuto Hatake was soaked in sweat as if he had been pulled out of the water, his clothes drenched and the ground wet.

He lay sprawled on the ground.

His body convulsed rhythmically, his lips were deathly pale, and his eyes had only a faint glimmer of light remaining.

His face was contorted in a terrifying grimace, as if he had encountered something horrific.

Uchiha Tonan, who was sitting at the low table, then withdrew his genjutsu, gently set down his teacup, and said calmly:

"This will not be repeated."

[Chapter 317 The Four Gather Together: Kagura's Mind's Eye]

Most intelligent people have one thing in common: selfishness.

Kabuto Hatake is one of those people.

If it weren't for his considerable value and the curse mark in his mind...

Uchiha Tonan had already killed him.

Such a person, if not properly controlled, is very likely to turn against their master.

Uchiha Tonan's eyes, hidden beneath bandages, flashed with a fleeting light, revealing Kabuto Hatake's current state through the Byakugan's perceptive power.

The patient has good endurance; after two or three months of rest, they should be almost completely recovered.

As for whether it will leave a childhood trauma, that's none of Uchiha Tonan's business.

Until evening.

Kabuto Hatake suddenly opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath.

It was as if he had come back to life.

He then shakily got up, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Uchiha Tonan.

But then Uchiha Tonan put down the experimental data he had just retrieved and said calmly:

"Maintaining our relationship depends on how much value you create for me."

Discovering new knowledge through research is the value you can create for me.

You can exchange the value you create for anything you want from me.

Wealth, power, strength, and the people you want to protect.

I can satisfy 99% of the needs in this world for you.

I only care about the results, regardless of your thoughts, whether you hate me or resent me.

These things don't matter to me.

Go to the lab and reflect on your actions.

Kabuto Hatake's lips trembled slightly, and he nodded repeatedly in fear.

Then, he moved his feet, walking unsteadily, toward the study.

After giving Kabuto Hatake a light tap, Uchiha Tonan finally focused on the experimental data on the table.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan sensed that Kakashi had arrived outside the orphanage.

A slight smile played on her lips as she murmured, "A cozy get-together."

Humans, you know, like to rely on these things to maintain those fragile relationships.

After saying that, he immediately put away the experimental data and pushed his wheelchair towards the outside.

Dusk.

A residential area on the edge of Konoha.

A warm yellow light shone in an ordinary house.

This time, the gathering was not held outside, but at Minato Namikaze's house.

As the only woman, Kushina naturally took on the responsibility of cooking.

As the host, Minato Namikaze, after seating Kakashi and Tonan Uchiha, brought out juice and sake and asked:

"Kakashi, your juice."

Tu Nan, what would you like to drink, juice or wine?

Uchiha Tonan gently shook his head and said, "There are three prohibitions for ninjas. I am still a minor and cannot drink alcohol."

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then put down the juice, looking embarrassed, and said:

"That's true, you've grown up too fast."

"You made me forget that you and Kakashi are the same age."

Uchiha Tonan was not surprised by this.

Perhaps it's due to good genes, or perhaps it's because of exceptional physical abilities.

Uchiha Tonan has always been a head taller than his peers, and his appearance is more mature.

The house may have been uninhabited for too long, and many things were old and worn out, resulting in a less than ideal condition.

The cooking fumes from the kitchen seeped through the cracks in the door.

The living room gradually filled with a pungent smell of cooking oil.

Minato Namikaze waved his hand, slightly embarrassed, and said:

"Sorry, I just got back today and haven't had time to hire someone to redo the renovations yet."

Upon hearing the word "renovation," Uchiha Tonan was immediately delighted and smiled.

"Minato-sensei, are you and Kushina-senpai getting married?"

Minato Namikaze's face beamed with an irrepressible smile of happiness as he scratched his head and said:

"Haha..."

We plan to hold our wedding during the Chinese New Year.

The situation on the battlefield is relatively stable now, so there's no need for me to go anymore.

I also need to give Kushina an explanation.

Uchiha Tonan's smile deepened, and he offered his blessings:

Congratulations! You two are now happily married.
