The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Page 397

"Aren't the Uchiha clan from Konoha? Why have they become our enemies?"

"He killed the Fourth Hokage...and even the Third Hokage was no match for him..."

"Ordinary ninjutsu can't hit you, and powerful ninjutsu is too much for you..."

We are no match for the Nine-Tails either...

........

Fear and despair spread rapidly, permeating the hearts of all the Konoha ninja.

"There are still eight minutes left, and I can take care of you in five minutes at most."

"Once you're all dead, Konoha will be finished."

But then, Masked Tu Nan extinguished the Great Fire Pillar and controlled the Nine-Tails to slowly walk towards Konoha.

Many Konoha ninjas, unwilling to sit idly by and await their doom, unleashed ninjutsu at the Nine-Tails like madmen.

But those ninjutsu, just like before, only created circles of spatial vortexes before falling silent again.

At this critical moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, embedded in the mountain wall, opened his eyes.

He glanced at Danzo in the crowd, then sighed deeply, a resolute look appearing in his eyes as he began to form hand seals.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was forming hand seals and everyone was in deep despair.

A hoarse and weak voice came from behind the crowd.

"With me here... Konoha will not perish..."

[Chapter 347. Playing Two Roles to Seal the Nine-Tailed Fox]

(Two-in-one)

Upon hearing that familiar voice, everyone was startled and instinctively turned around to look.

Dozens of members of the secret service wearing cat-face masks rushed into the crowd from behind, splitting into two lines and kneeling on one knee to create a passage with their bodies.

At the end of the passage, Kabuto Hatake, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, pushed his wheelchair through the crowd with a blank expression.

Behind him, the flag bearer, with fingers tucked into his clothes, timidly clutched at the hem of his garment.

Sitting in the wheelchair was Uchiha Tonan, who had burned his life force to perform a forbidden technique in order to drive the Nine-Tails out of Konoha.

All the people saw was that Uchiha Tonan was pale and emaciated, his body so thin that he was just skin and bones, and it seemed that he would breathe his last at any moment.

Danzo raised an eyebrow upon seeing Uchiha Tonan arrive, thinking to himself:

Is this guy in his condition still coming to his death?

However... he was, after all, someone who had once activated the kaleidoscope.

Perhaps there really is a way to resolve the current predicament.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was already halfway through forming the hand seals, slowly lowered his hands upon seeing Uchiha Tonan, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

He actually came.

Given his personality, he'll probably end up dying at the hands of that masked man.

In that case, I'll wait a little longer.

Before I sacrifice myself for Konoha, I must witness the death of my enemy with my own eyes.

That way, when I get to the other world, I can give Asuma and Shinnosuke an explanation.

When the Konoha ninjas saw that it was Uchiha Tonan who had arrived, their despair did not fade, but instead they felt a deeper sadness.

After all, anyone could tell at a glance that Uchiha Tonan was nearing his end.

Arriving on the battlefield now would only mean prematurely ending up dead.

Many kind-hearted Konoha ninjas looked sorrowful and offered their advice:

"Lord Tu... Lord Tu Nan..."

"Lord Tunan, please go back and rest well. We're here for you."

"Yes, please go back."

.......

But a gentle smile appeared on Uchiha Tonan's pale face as he weakly said:

"The noise here is so loud, I can't sleep."

Above the Nine-Tails' head, Masked Tunan crossed his arms and looked down at Uchiha Tunan, who had been pushed to the front of the crowd, speaking in a condescending tone:

"You are Uchiha Tonan?"

I've heard about your achievements; you are indeed a remarkable junior.

Uchiha Tunan seemed to only then notice the presence of the masked Tunan, slowly raising his head with a slightly dazed expression, and muttering:

"Just now, I felt like I was about to fall asleep forever."

But in a daze, I seemed to hear Minato-sensei and Kushina-senpai calling out to me.

They told me about Konoha's current predicament.

Tell me not to go to sleep, to come and see first.

Upon hearing this, Masked Tu Nan chuckled and said in an apologetic tone:

"I'm really sorry."

You guys keep talking about the Will of Fire, don't you?

Burning oneself to light up the village.

The two people you mentioned have been burned to ashes by me, successfully sacrificing themselves.

You don't need to thank me; it was just a small favor.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan stiffened, then lowered his head, his body trembling slightly.

"Hehehahaha..."

A desolate laugh echoed across the battlefield.

Looking at Uchiha Tonan's slightly hunched back, everyone felt an indescribable sadness and sorrow welling up in their hearts.

After a moment, Uchiha Tonan's laughter stopped, and he let out a long sigh, saying in a sorrowful tone:

"They just left like that..."

Looks like I really can't rest.

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tonan suddenly raised his head and said in a cold voice:

"Where's Naruto?"

Masked Tu Nan rubbed his temples, feigning reminiscence, and said slowly:

"You mean the baby?"

It seems like I casually tossed it into another dimension.

"Looking at you, you don't actually want to steal it, do you?"

Uchiha Tonan nodded slowly upon hearing this, placed his hand on his abdomen, his fingers slightly curled, gripping his clothes tightly, and said in a calm tone:

"If you don't give it to me, I'll probably have to steal it."

But upon hearing this, Tu Nan, wearing a mask, looked at him with disdain and sneered:

"Look at you now, you look like you're half dead."

I want to ask you where you get your confidence from.

Uchiha Tonan said with a serious expression, "Love and courage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire battlefield fell into an inexplicable silence.

The Konoha ninjas present all silently lowered their heads.

At this moment, everyone felt that Uchiha Tonan was too naive to believe in such a nonsensical thing at a time like this.

After all, this kind of thing is best left as a slogan.

Just like when Uchiha Tonan burned his life force, it wouldn't hurt to shout a few words; consider it as passing on some positive energy to the younger generation of Konoha.

But given the current situation, we might all die here.

Such slogans then lose their meaning.

Aside from a very few exceptionally naive ninjas, almost no one would believe in this thing.

Masked Tu Nan's eyes widened as if he had heard the funniest joke. He pointed at Uchiha Tu Nan below, shaking his head and laughing:

"Hahaha...that's hilarious."

I take back what I just said.

I thought you were an excellent descendant of the Uchiha clan.

But I never expected you to be so stupid.

Love and courage are nothing but child's playthings.

"How did you become a ninja? That's hilarious!"

Faced with Masked Tu Nan's mockery, Uchiha Tu Nan's face was full of determination as he shook his head and said:

"You don't believe it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
