The Master of Konoha's Legacy

The image of Uchiha Tonan using Nine-Tails Mode kept flashing through his mind.

This guy does look a bit like Naruto.

The three of them ate for almost an hour before finishing all the food on the table.

After settling the two into the guest room, Uchiha Tonan took advantage of his free time to go to the underground laboratory.

Of course, Uchiha Tonan did not intend to conduct any live experiments at this crucial moment.

Instead, the intelligence came from Masked Tu Nan.

Uchiha Tonan sat down on the sofa in the laboratory and gently spread out his right hand.

A small spatial vortex appeared directly above the palm of his hand, and a scroll fell into his hand from the vortex.

Uchiha Tonan unfurled the scroll, his eyes, hidden beneath bandages, narrowed slightly, and he murmured:

"So, there are ancient records about the ninja world in the old ruins of the Uzumaki...?"

But the scroll reads:

The planet where the ninja world is located seems to be an extremely special existence in the universe.

In ancient times, a unique and extraordinary power belonging to this planet was born: the power of nature.

Humans were among the first to utilize this power through their intelligence, giving rise to professions such as Onmyoji and Samurai.

Onmyoji are few in number, but powerful.

Skilled in sealing techniques and nurturing shikigami.

The so-called shikigami are actually summoning beasts that live on the other side of the ninja world.

The ancestors of the Uzumaki clan were born from a descendant of an Onmyoji and an Ashura.

The sealing technique was then revived in the ninja world by this ancestor using chakra.

This is why sealing techniques are not included in the Yin-Yang Five Escapes.

Additionally, the stone walls at the former site of the Uzumaki clan only record the creation date of the Shiki Seal.

Based on the creation date of the Shiki-Seal, it can be roughly estimated that it was created by Ashura or the ancestors of the Uzumaki clan.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Tonan narrowed his eyes beneath the bandages.

Are natural forces and sealing techniques unique to the ninja world...?

If that's the case, then it should be useful in dealing with the Otsutsuki clan.

No wonder the Otsutsuki's abilities in the original work are all about absorbing chakra or ninjutsu, but they just can't absorb sage techniques or sealing techniques.

After thinking it over, a spatial vortex appeared in Uchiha Tonan's palm, and he put the scroll into it.

The Divine Might is really useful; it's like having a personal space.

Suddenly, a warning sounded from the sealing barrier of the underground laboratory.

Uchiha Tonan's expression hardened, and he suddenly looked up.

The sealing barrier of the underground laboratory has been continuously improved by Uchiha Tonan. It can not only isolate aura and sound, but also block the spying of various sensory ninjutsu and dojutsu.

Furthermore, if anyone spyes on this place, it will immediately trigger the barrier and alert Uchiha Tonan.

However, the feeling of being spied on vanished in an instant, and the warning from the barrier disappeared as well.

Uchiha Tonan stared silently at the ceiling.

After a few breaths, he slowly lowered his head, got up, and walked towards the stairs.

The full moon on the fifteenth of the lunar month, like a snowball, is set against the dark blue night sky, appearing exceptionally bright and refreshing.

The stars in the sky seem to be afraid of the cold, or perhaps the wind, with only a few remaining embedded in the sky to keep the bright moon company.

People in this world seem to be pretty thick-skinned.

The Nine-Tails' rampage happened just a few days ago, but now the entire Hidden Leaf Village seems as if nothing has happened.

At this moment, the welfare home's Sunset Building.

Sasuke, draped in a black cloak, stood motionless on the edge of the building's rooftop, quietly gazing at the moon in the sky.

Suddenly, Sasuke heard Uchiha Tonan's greeting from behind him.

"Is Mr. Sasuke not used to sleeping here?"

Sasuke glanced to the side and saw Uchiha Tonan walking slowly towards him, wearing a white bathrobe and wooden clogs.

But a hint of apology flashed in Sasuke's eyes as he said:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

I didn't see anything.

Uchiha Tonan smiled gently and shook his head, saying:

"It's alright, Mr. Sasuke isn't an ordinary person."

It doesn't matter if you know the secrets of the secret service.

If I'm not mistaken.

"Sasuke-san must have frequently carried out secret missions for Konoha in your time."

In a single sentence, Uchiha Tonan subtly explained why there was a seal beneath the orphanage.

This was also to prevent Sasuke from becoming suspicious of him.

Although it's difficult for Sasuke to gain recognition right now, anything is possible with effort, and he has to keep trying.

After all, the allure of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan with six tomoe is simply too great.

Sasuke lowered his head and said calmly, "Why do you say that?"

Uchiha Tonan placed his hand on the rooftop railing and said leisurely:

"Don't forget that I am the leader of the Dark Division."

People who frequently carry out classified missions tend to have a very different temperament from ordinary people.

And I can sense that you are very strong.

With such capabilities, it's natural that the capable should be given more responsibilities.

Sasuke nodded, acknowledging that he frequently carried out classified missions.

However, Sasuke didn't seem to want to discuss this topic further, and quickly changed the subject:

"Tonight at the Naga Shrine, you said that you had something on the Third Hokage, which is why you lost the Hokage position that should have been yours."

But whether I heard it from others or from my first impression of you, you don't seem like the kind of person who would do bad things.

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tonan's expression froze slightly.

Sasuke's eyes, hidden beneath his long bangs, were fixed on Uchiha Tonan.

After a long silence, Uchiha Tonan sighed and said in a deep voice:

“You are not from this world, I can tell you that.”

The so-called "handle" is the identity of the masked man who instigated the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage.

Sasuke recalled what he had overheard at the Naga Shrine earlier that day and assumed that Uchiha Tonan had mistaken the masked man for Uchiha Madara.

He hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

"In our time, this secret had already been revealed."

Since you say it won't affect our future, I can tell you the truth.

Uchiha Tonan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled wryly and said:

"Has the truth come out...?"

It seems he's still as reckless as ever, and someone has already discovered it.

I thought I could keep this secret for him.

Mr. Sasuke, do you know?

He was originally a very kind person, and we had a very good relationship.

But the cruelty of war and the deaths of his comrades drove him mad.

In addition, he is also one of my people.

So I wanted to spare his life.

Sasuke frowned upon hearing this, looking puzzled, and said:

"So you knew the truth."

So you were willing to give up the position of Hokage for the sake of your comrades.

Uchiha Tonan paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, looking dejected, and said, "Am I being too kind-hearted?"

Sasuke gazed at Uchiha Tonan's profile and said calmly:

"A little."

You and Naruto are sometimes really alike.

Having said that, Sasuke raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and said in a deep voice:

"However, I've noticed a problem regarding the world lines you mentioned today."

The history of this world is largely the same as that of my time.

It seems that all the differences, when traced back to their origins, are related to you.

Are you really not from the future?

Of course, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you.

This guy...where do he get so many questions?

Why not spend more time with your Itachi, or focus on how to resist Urashiki Otsutsuki?

A hint of impatience flashed in Uchiha Tonan's eyes beneath the bandages, but he chuckled lightly and turned to Sasuke, saying:
