The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Upon hearing this, Danzo's face instantly turned cold, and his fists clenched tightly under the table.

A deep sense of resentment welled up inside me.

Damn it... why wasn't it me...?

Where exactly am I inferior to Hiruzen...?

In contrast, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled warmly, the pipe in his mouth trembling slightly.

"Tunan, thank you for your trust in me."

Uchiha Tonan gently shook his head and said calmly:

"To be honest, I really dislike the way you do things, Lord Third Generation."

I never believed you could lead Konoha to glory.

But there's nothing we can do; Konoha can't afford any more turmoil now.

The priority should be stability.

Until a truly virtuous person appears.

"At that time, I will lead the way in asking you to step down and yield the position to a more capable person."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was originally overjoyed, was immediately silenced by Tonan Uchiha's merciless words.

He could only cough twice to ease the awkwardness and change the subject:

"Ahem... Next, we need to discuss the compensation arrangements for those who died in this incident."

.........

The three discussed the matter until evening before finalizing a series of follow-up arrangements for the incident.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Tonan went straight back to the orphanage.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Hatake Yu sitting in a pile of toys, engrossed in playing, completely unaware of Uchiha Tonan's arrival.

Meanwhile, Kabuto Hatake was carefully taking care of little Naruto, who was fast asleep in his cradle.

Upon seeing Uchiha Tonan return, he immediately stood up, went to Uchiha Tonan, placed his hands on his knees, bowed, and said, "Sir."

Uchiha Tonan ignored Hatake Kabuto and went straight to the cradle, reaching out his warm hand to touch little Naruto's cheek.

But then Uchiha Tonan's lips curled into a satisfied smile, and he reached out and patted Hatake Kabuto on the shoulder, saying:

"Well done."

"Take good care of Naruto while I'm gone."

Kabuto Hatake immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, sir."

After giving his instructions, Uchiha Tonan turned and walked towards the study.

As he approached the study door, Uchiha Tonan paused, turned his head, and whispered:

"If something happens to him..."

Nothing in Konoha has any meaning.

Remember this clearly, it's everything.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan pushed open the study door and went in.

After hearing what Uchiha Tonan said, Kabuto Hatake was stunned and stood there in place.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of people going down the stairs that Kabuto Hatake snapped out of his daze and looked at Naruto, who was fast asleep in his crib, with a serious expression.

This little guy is actually that important.

Is it because this little guy is a descendant of the teacher?

Thinking of this, Kabuto Hatake shook his head repeatedly, dismissing this unrealistic idea.

Impossible, if the teacher really valued the teacher-student relationship that much.

With Mr. [Name]'s abilities, the Fourth Hokage could not possibly have died.

Could this little guy be some kind of very precious material...?

Leaving aside Kabuto Hatake's rambling thoughts, Uchiha Tonan had already arrived at the long-sealed laboratory.

They manipulated several puppets in the laboratory to begin a thorough cleaning.

Uchiha Tonan sat down on the sofa, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.

In the Tailed Beast Space.

A series of thunderous snores followed.

Kurama had a dream in which he left this dark place and returned to Kushina's body.

In the dream, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was having a fierce verbal battle with Kushina.

Suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared before him.

The nine-tailed fox was startled awake from its dream.

However, when Kurama opened its eyes, it found that it was not pitch black in front of it, but rather bright.

An antique palace, a huge dragon pillar, and a young Uchiha boy sitting in the center of the palace, sipping tea.

"What a horrible nightmare, I need to wake up right away."

Nine-Tailed Fox muttered something and closed its eyes again.

However, the next moment, a voice that sounded like a demon's low murmur rang out in the Nine-Tails' heart.

"It seems you're having a comfortable time here."

Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes widened instantly, its fur bristled, and it trembled as it spoke:

When did you arrive?

Uchiha Tonan sipped his tea leisurely and said indifferently, "What is the answer I want?"

Kurama remained silent, staring warily at Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan downed the tea in his cup in one gulp and slammed it down on the table.

"Snapped."

The Nine-Tails' body trembled almost imperceptibly before it curled up.

"You really are quite unruly."

Uchiha Tonan shook his head and sighed softly as he slowly stood up and raised his right hand.

Upon seeing this, Nine-Tails' pupils suddenly contracted, recalling the nightmarish experience from before, and quickly explained:

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I really don't know."

I am just a tailed beast created by the Sage of Six Paths.

If he really had any secrets, why would he tell me?

Uchiha Tonan's expression was indifferent, and a dark hole appeared in his palm, from which a golden chain extended.

Nine-Tailed Fox staggered backward, crashing into the dragon pillar, and cried out in surprise and panic:

"I really didn't lie to you, why can't you believe me just this once?"

Uchiha Tonan raised his leg and walked step by step toward the Nine-Tails.

The golden chain in his hand twirled and flew through the air like a serpent.

"I really don't know. You can't do this to me. You have to trust me."

I'll give you as much chakra as you want; from now on, we'll be partners.

No... not a partner, you are my master.

Please...don't hit me...

Nine-Tailed Fox seemed to have already foreseen the scene of its skin being torn open, and its body pressed tightly against the dragon pillar.

While begging for mercy, his mind raced, trying to recall every little detail of his time with the Sage of Six Paths.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Nine-Tails' mind, and he exclaimed in surprise:

No, no...

I've got an idea about the relationship between Ashura and the Sage of Six Paths.

Asuras and Indras are not descendants of the Six Paths Sages or humans.

They are actually the descendants created by the Sage of Six Paths after he defeated the progenitor of chakra and fused with the God Tree.

Uchiha Tonan remained unmoved, and gently raised his right hand.

The golden chains slashed down at the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Nine-Tails quickly closed its eyes, covered its head with its paws, and roared:

"I've told you everything I know, can you trust me just this once...?"

After a long time, the expected pain did not come.

Nine-Tails slowly opened its eyes.

The palace was completely empty; Uchiha Tonan had vanished without a trace.

Nine-Tails cautiously raised its head and carefully observed its surroundings.

After confirming that Uchiha Tonan had left, Kurama collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Phew~ that guy is finally gone."

Outside, inside the laboratory.

Uchiha Tonan reached out and took the hot tea offered by the puppet, taking a small sip.

His brows were furrowed in thought.

The Divine Tree.......

That thing can actually get men pregnant.
