The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Just as the rumors said, he is indeed crippled.

The genius I once looked up to, I see you again, and this is how you are now...

"Obito... Rin... Are you doing well in that world?"

Standing before the memorial tablet, Uchiha Tonan looked sorrowful, his voice slightly loud.

It was loud enough that Obito could hear it clearly.

"I miss you all so much, and I miss the happy times we spent together."

I am now the leader of the Anbu and an advisor to the Hokage.

But I feel so tired, really so tired.

Those heavy burdens are making it hard for me to breathe.

Many times I've thought about giving up these positions.

But when I think of you, and of my Konoha comrades who died on the battlefield, I feel a pang of sadness.

I just........”

Upon hearing this, the expression beneath the tiger-skin mask shifted slightly, and he thought to himself:

Tu Nan, this world itself is full of sorrow, and everyone is selfish.

Even a good person like you has ended up like this. Can't you see that?

When will you stop being so naive?

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you, who are confused, the truth about this world.

Some roads are lonely, destined to be walked alone.

Once I create a perfect new world, you won't be so tired anymore.

If you were still alive...

But then Uchiha Tonan seemed unable to hold back his tears, his back trembling with sobs, and he whimpered:

"I act very imposing and indifferent in front of my subordinates."

Everyone thinks I'm doing well, that I have power and wealth.

Only I know that I'm not happy!

I... I just want to live a simple and happy life with my children and the elderly every day.

Why does fate have to play such a cruel trick on me, forcing things I don't like onto me?

But I cannot shirk this responsibility; only power can guarantee that those children live in a fair environment.

This is fate...this is fate!

Uchiha Tonan buried his hands in his slightly disheveled hair, clearly already beginning to sob uncontrollably.

"My body is about to give out too."

Every day when I open my eyes, I can clearly feel my body deteriorating.

I estimate that in another two months, I might not even be able to beat a Jonin.

I think... I should be able to come and join you all soon.

I dare not tell anyone about these things, for fear that Mr. Minato and the others will worry.

Death itself is not frightening to me; what I fear is the suffering of those I cherish once again.

Obito, who was hiding in the shadows, frowned upon hearing this and thought to himself:

Tu Nan.......

Is your life coming to an end?

It seems you're completely exhausted.

I had thought we would become rivals in the future.

It seems that only Kakashi is qualified to be my nemesis.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan felt that he had laid enough groundwork and could get to the point.

Uchiha Tonan took several deep breaths, seemingly having released most of his negative emotions.

A desolate smile appeared on his face. He reached out and gently stroked the memorial stone with his palm, saying:

"My time in this world is limited, and I have many things to do, so I can no longer stay with you."

I'm here today because I want to secretly tell you some good news.

Kushina-senpai is pregnant, and her due date is October 10th.

However, the risks of producing human jinchūriki are too great.

I'm so worried that the Nine-Tails will break free of its seal when Kushina-senpai gives birth.

During this period, the highest levels of Konoha have been busy with this matter, and I am no exception.

To keep this a secret, I didn't tell any of the members of the secret service.

Therefore, I will have to personally protect Kushina-senpai's safety.

You don't need to worry.

Although I am now disabled, I can still deter most bad guys by burning my life force.

Originally, I planned to have Kakashi protect Kushina-senpai.

However, the situation in the ninja world is currently turbulent, and there are still several S-rank missions that need to be carried out in the coming months.

Konoha is severely lacking in high-end combat power.

Since I have difficulty moving around, Kakashi had to go instead.

You must pray for Kakashi's safe return from the other world.

Kushina-senpai and her baby are safe and sound.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan took out a tissue from his pocket, reached out and pulled up a gap in the bandage, and wiped it with his head down.

Then he slowly pushed the wheelchair away from the memorial.

After a long while, once Obito was sure no one was around, he emerged from the shadows.

Arriving at the memorial stone, a look of struggle crossed his face, and he murmured:

October 10th...

Lin, Tu Nan is right, this is probably fate's arrangement.

To create a perfect world, the power of all nine tailed beasts must be gathered.

The Nine-Tails is the most important of the tailed beasts.

I originally planned to slowly devise a plan to capture the Nine-Tailed Fox later.

But now the opportunity is right in front of me, and I can't wait any longer.

Don't blame me, blame fate.

Who told me to overhear?

Kakashi, the only one with the same eyes as me, is not in Konoha.

Then no one can stop me.

If you miss this opportunity, you might never have another chance like it.

At this point, Obito closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth, saying:

I'm sorry.

As soon as he finished speaking, a scarlet light appeared in Obito's eyes.

After a spatial distortion, the person vanished without a trace.

Thin clouds drifted slowly across the sky, revealing the sun behind them.

In an instant, the sun spread its golden rays like a peacock's tail.

A cool autumn breeze rustled the grass on the ground.

A leaf, half yellow and half green, detached from the treetop and fluttered in the wind.

Just as the leaves drifted past the memorial stone.

Two fingers suddenly extended and clamped the leaf between them.

The owner of the finger was none other than Uchiha Tonan, who had just left.

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan showed no trace of sadness.

Under the sunlight, he exuded a sinister and profound aura.

Uchiha Tonan held the leaf to his nose, sniffed it, and shook his head with a light laugh.

Then he just stood there quietly facing the memorial stone, lost in thought.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly, his lips trembled, and he uttered each word softly:

I'm sorry.

[Chapter 327 Prelude to Chaos: Stormy Weather]

More than two months later.

Uchiha Tonan had previously written a personal letter to Naraku.

As expected, Konoha received a massive amount of funding the next day, resolving the village's financial crisis.

With enough money, Minato Namikaze was generous in his demands on Tonan Uchiha.

With a stroke of his pen, he allocated enough money to merge the facilities of the Anbu and the four departments controlled by Uchiha Tonan.

This will make it easier for Uchiha Tonan to carry out management work.

After several months, the sites for several departments have now been completed.
