The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Kaguya gave birth to two unfilial sons, who then sealed her away.

The Sage of Six Paths gave birth to Asura and Indra.

But they are all dead; only the so-called chakra continues to reincarnate in the ninja world.

If Kaguya hadn't been sealed away, would those two unfilial sons have suffered the same fate as Ashura and Indra?

Thinking about this, Uchiha Tonan felt as if he had grasped a key point.

What about breaking ties with one's mother for the sake of the ninja world and all living beings?

Uchiha Tonan didn't think that two alien bastards would have such high awareness.

Instead, they are more likely to believe that they are acting out of a desire for survival and profit.

However, we are now too far removed from the era of the Sage of Six Paths, and there are almost no clues.

Of course, there are two clues available for reference.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tonan raised his head, his eyes, hidden beneath bandages, gazing through the thick soil at the sleeping Naruto in his crib, and murmured:

"Once we agree with it, we can start researching it."

Before proceeding, it's advisable to examine any historical records from that period.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan controlled the puppet to fetch a piece of white paper and a pen.

He wrote a sentence on the paper with a pen.

The next moment, Uchiha Tonan's left eye glared slightly, and the paper was sucked into the Kamui dimension.

At the same time, Tu Nan, who was walking on the sea, narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand.

A spatial vortex appeared in the palm of his hand.

After the spatial vortex disappeared, a piece of paper appeared in the palm of the hand.

After reading the information on the paper, Masked Tu Nan looked up at the horizon.

That direction is precisely where the battlefield between Kirigakure and Konoha is currently at a standoff: the former site of the Land of Whirlpools.

[Chapter 352. Mourning Ceremony: A Public Show]

The next morning.

Konoha Village, Memorial Square.

The harsh cold of early winter seemed to arrive overnight.

The temperature in the entire leaf plummeted.

The dark clouds of the overcast day piled up into a single mass, like a thick piece of iron, pressing heavily down in the low sky.

The snow, as light as smoke and as white as silver, drifted and swirled down from the sky.

A solemn mourning ceremony is being held in front of the memorial stone on the ground.

Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrangement.

Large numbers of civilians and ninjas lined up in several rows and came to the memorial stone in an orderly manner to offer their bouquets of flowers.

Compared to the ninjas who were used to death.

The families of the common people were crying hysterically.

It should be noted that many ordinary people went to great lengths and spent exorbitant amounts of money to move their entire families into Konoha.

One aspect is the safety of Konoha.

However, this Nine-Tailed Fox rampage caused a large number of civilian casualties.

After everyone had presented their flowers, the next part of the event was the speeches.

This should have been the Hokage's responsibility, but now that Minato Namikaze has died, it is natural for Uchiha Tonan, who has the highest prestige and strength, to give the speech.

After all, they will announce Hiruzen Sarutobi's temporary appointment as Hokage later.

These words would only be appropriate if Uchiha Tonan himself announced them.

Uchiha Tonan, dressed in a white trench coat, walked to the memorial stone adorned with bouquets and faced the crowd.

He first took a deep breath, seemingly to calm the deep sorrow in his heart, then sighed and said:

"The night before last, Konoha experienced an unprecedented upheaval."

The Nine-Tails broke free of its seal, and the Fourth Hokage and his wife both perished.

Countless Konoha ninjas and villagers also perished in this turmoil.

Here, I would like to first say something to all the participants in the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage.

You've all worked so hard!

At this point, Uchiha Tonan placed his hands on his knees and bowed deeply to everyone.

Everyone lowered their heads, each one sorrowful and silent.

Half a minute later, Uchiha Tonan straightened up, his face filled with sorrow, and said:

"On the evening of October 10th."

A mysterious person wearing a tiger-skin mask infiltrates Konoha.

The Nine-Tails was released from the body of the Jinchūriki who had just given birth.

They even went so far as to summon the Nine-Tails into the village, causing numerous casualties and property damage.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Tonan's tone gradually became more forceful and expressive as he spoke:

"Faced with a sudden and enormous disaster."

All the participating ninjas fought bravely and tenaciously against the Nine-Tails, risking their lives and fighting fiercely.

They made significant contributions to saving the lives and property of their fellow citizens in Konoha.

Some ninjas sacrificed their young and precious lives.

Use your passion! Ignite the fiery will within your heart.

Let's put our unwavering original aspirations into practice!

Your heroic deeds in this incident have been fully recognized by the elders of Konoha.

It received high praise from the villagers of Konoha.

I believe that once this incident spreads throughout the ninja world...

This will definitely cause a strong reaction.

Konoha, thank you for being there.

The younger generation of Konoha will be proud of you.

On behalf of the clan leaders and high-ranking officials of Konoha, I extend my sincerest condolences and highest respect to you.

Then Uchiha Tonan once again placed his hands on his knees and bowed deeply to everyone.

People in this world have never heard such bureaucratic speeches before.

Such speeches are often impressive at first, nauseating upon second listen, and put to sleep upon repeated listens.

The Konoha ninjas, who were originally immersed in the pain of their fallen comrades, suddenly had their fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes.

They clenched their fists, their faces flushed, and they were extremely excited.

Danzo, standing at the front of the crowd, narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered to Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him:

"This guy is much stronger than you."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in agreement and said in a low voice:

"I watched him grow up."

He loved reading when he was a child, so it's normal that he's more educated than me.

However... when it comes to the Will of Fire, I'm still a bit better at it.

Uchiha Tonan continued:

"The Nine-Tails' disturbance immediately attracted the attention of high-ranking officials in various departments of Konoha."

They all cared deeply about the Konoha heroes fighting on the front lines.

In particular, the Third Hokage and Lord Danzo, despite their advanced age, still organized and mobilized personnel from various departments at the first opportunity.

Even in times of crisis, he fought alongside everyone, rushing to the front lines to protect Konoha.

They united Konoha's counterattack force into one, truly demonstrating composure under pressure and maintaining organization and discipline.

Here, I would like to express my gratitude to the Third Hokage and Lord Danzo.

Uchiha Tonan immediately turned around and bowed deeply to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, who were standing in front of the crowd.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo both nodded slightly, their faces expressionless.

But in his heart he was thinking: This kid is so sensible.

After bowing, Uchiha Tonan shifted slightly to the side, gently placed his right hand on his heart, looked at the memorial tablet, and said in a deep voice:

"The Fourth Hokage deserves the most credit for this Nine-Tails' rampage."

Unfortunately, fate is cruel to those with great talent.

The four-generation couple perished at the hands of a mysterious person.

The Kage of the number one ninja village in the ninja world was actually murdered in the village.

This is an utter disgrace!

We must avenge this.

but not now.

At present, the ninja world is in turmoil.

Having already endured the Third Shinobi World War and suffered such a catastrophe, Konoha cannot withstand further turmoil.

But then Uchiha Tonan, with an expression of utter frustration, raised his hands and proclaimed loudly:
