The Master of Konoha's Legacy

However, Orochimaru and the members of the Fuma clan all disappeared without a trace afterward.

Even the Konoha spies who were sending back intelligence have lost contact.

But then Uchiha Tonan's lips curled into a strange smile, and he said leisurely:

"Orochimaru... you're still alive? That's both a pleasant surprise and a delightful surprise."

I hope you will feel ashamed and then strive to improve, and stop researching those useless curse seals.

I'm really looking forward to your new research findings.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tonan stopped talking and brought the cup of tea to his lips.

"Clang clang clang".

There was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

Uchiha Tonan then took a small sip of tea.

A squad leader from the Anbu entered, knelt on one knee before Uchiha Tonan, and said:

"Lord Tunan, the Hokage has urgent business with you."

Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Do you know what it is?"

The squad leader of the secret service shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Something that even the squad leader of the secret service can't know.

At this point in time...

Could it be...?

Uchiha Tonan's eyes, hidden beneath bandages, suddenly flashed with surprise, and he said in a deep voice, "I understand."

[Chapter 324 Personally Protecting and Monitoring Konoha]

When Uchiha Tonan arrived at the Hokage Building, he discovered that Namikaze Minato was not there.

Only Hiruzen Sarutobi was waiting there.

Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "Where is the Hokage?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a deep voice, "Come with me, this matter is confidential."

The two then arrived at the large mansion that Konoha had allocated to Kushina.

As soon as they entered, the two saw Minato Namikaze standing outside the training room with a helpless expression.

The clanging of metal instruments echoed from the training room.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced inside and saw Kushina holding a kunai, rapidly striking at the hidden weapons shooting from all directions of the training room.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and rebuked Minato Namikaze in a reproachful tone:

"Minato, isn't Kushina pregnant?"

Why did you make her do such strenuous exercise?

Minato Namikaze gave a helpless, wry smile:

"I can't persuade her. I don't know what's wrong. Kushina seems to have a lot of energy lately."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reached up and stroked his beard, saying thoughtfully, "The physique of the Uzumaki clan is different from that of ordinary people."

You said she's been having a lot more energy lately, which is probably a natural reaction to pregnancy.

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze suddenly understood and felt relieved.

"Oh, it's just a pregnancy reaction. I thought something was wrong with Kushina's health."

"How did you find out that Kushina-senpai was pregnant?"

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan, who was standing to the side, asked with a slightly anxious expression.

After all, Kushina didn't show any signs of pregnancy.

Moreover, according to the original storyline, Naruto should still be about ten months away from being born.

You shouldn't be able to feel pregnant right now.

Uchiha Tonan was worried that Ashura's reincarnation might cause trouble.

It would be troublesome if, due to the butterfly effect, the Sage of Six Paths failed to reincarnate Ashura's chakra.

Uchiha Tonan will have to put in a lot of effort to find him then.

Seeing Uchiha Tonan's concern for Kushina, Minato Namikaze smiled gently and said:

"It was Kurama who told her."

Uchiha Tonan nodded silently.

That makes sense. It seems Naruto didn't make a mistake.

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing to the side, formed hand seals and unleashed a sensory ninjutsu.

After confirming that no one was around the residence, he turned to Minato Namikaze and Tonan Uchiha with a serious expression and said in a deep voice:

"This matter is of great importance, as the Jinchūriki is most vulnerable during childbirth."

It is highly likely that the Nine-Tails will break through the seal.

Therefore, we must keep this strictly confidential and not reveal it to anyone.

The sealing team also needs to prepare in advance to reinforce the seal at any time during childbirth.

Otherwise, Kushina's life could have been in danger.

Minato Namikaze, aware of the gravity of the situation, said with a solemn expression:

"I see.

Tu Nan, you and the Third Generation Lord are the people I trust the most.

Only a few of us know about this.

Kushina's safety still requires you to arrange for someone to protect her.

please. "

With that, Minato Namikaze placed his hands on his knees and bowed deeply to Tonan Uchiha.

There's no other way; Uchiha Tonan is now the leader of the Anbu.

If he wanted to mobilize the Anbu to protect Kushina, he would need to get orders from Uchiha Tonan.

Oh? You consider me the person you trust most?

Unfortunately, you trusted the wrong person.

It really makes me feel guilty...

Uchiha Tunan nodded expressionlessly, then turned his face towards the training room, his expression softening considerably, and said earnestly:

"Mr. Minato, don't worry."

I will not allow anyone to hurt Kushina-senpai.

This is a very important matter, and I don't intend to tell this secret to anyone, not even members of the Dark Guard.

I will personally protect Kushina-senpai's safety in secret.

"If anyone wants to harm her, they'll have to step over my dead body first."

In the training room, Kushina had just withstood a wave of hidden weapon attacks and was taking a short break.

At this moment, in the Tailed Beast dimension within Kushina's body.

Nine-Tailed Fox used its sharp claws to fiddle with the golden chains binding its body, and said leisurely:

"I sense that the evil little devil has deep feelings for you."

He's clearly more evil than Madara Uchiha, so why is he so kind to you?

Humans... are so strange.

Upon hearing this, Kushina glanced at the three people outside and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

In his heart, he replied to Nine-Tailed Fox: "How could someone like you understand the bond between friends?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kushina formed a hand seal.

Inside the Tailed Beast Space.

Suddenly, dozens of thick golden chains shot out from the surrounding darkness and wrapped around the nine-tailed fox several times.

The Nine-Tails, which was already unable to move much, is now even more tightly trapped on the surface of the sphere.

"Kushina, what are you doing? What did I do to offend you?"

“I need to prevent you from causing trouble during my pregnancy, so the seal needs to be reinforced.”

"hateful......"

Outside the training room, Minato Namikaze looked at Tonan Uchiha with a hesitant expression and said:

“Tu Nan, you don’t really need to take action yourself.”

With your status, you wouldn't be specifically assigned to this kind of protection mission. (Gu)

And you also have your own job...

Uchiha Tonan shook his head slightly and said:

"With shadow clones, work won't be delayed."

Kushina-senpai must not get into trouble.

This is not the time to worry about so-called status.

After all, I have the strength now.

I don't want to lose anyone else.

This was my own choice, and it has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are the Hokage or not.
