The Master of Konoha's Legacy

The next morning.

Golden sunlight streamed into the room through the yellow gauze curtains.

A golden mist seemed to shroud Uchiha Tonan and Boruto at the dinner table.

Boruto tilted his head back and drank the porridge in his bowl, then leaned back in his chair with a satisfied look on his face, rubbing his stomach and saying:

"I'm so full... even breakfast is so delicious."

"What a pity, Mr. Sasuke has disappeared somewhere and won't have the chance to taste it."

Uchiha Tonan put down his chopsticks and gently wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

Then he got up, went to the cabinet, opened the drawer, took out a thick stack of banknotes, and placed them on the dining table, saying:

"Take this money and spend it; don't try to save it for me."

I have to go to work now.

Boruto glanced at the banknotes on the table, a shy look appearing on his face, and reached out to pick them up and put them into his bag.

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly, made a hand seal, and created a shadow clone to start preparing milk for Naruto.

Seeing this, Boruto seized the opportunity to ease the awkwardness by bringing up a topic, and asked with a puzzled look:

"Does Uncle Tu Nan use shadow clones usually?"

Uchiha Tonan nodded and said:

"Taking care of Naruto definitely requires creating a shadow clone."

I don't trust anyone else to take care of me.

Boruto, who was still thinking about going out with Uchiha Tonan, immediately asked, "When do you get off work?"

Uchiha Tonan pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "The past two days were special circumstances, so I was free during the day."

I usually work from morning till night, and often even work overtime late into the night.

Upon hearing this, Boruto immediately thought of Naruto and said with a disappointed look, "As busy as Dad...?"

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan had already gotten up and walked to Boruto's side, reaching out to gently stroke Boruto's hair, and said softly:

"Would you like to take a look at my work environment and see the secrets of Konoha?"

Boruto's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed with delight, "Is that okay?"

Uchiha Tonan smiled gently and extended his hand to Boruto, saying, "I said it's okay, so it's okay."

Boruto glanced at Uchiha Tonan's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then placed his hand on it.

The physical contact between the two seemed to bring them much closer.

.......

Half an hour later.

Boruto followed Uchiha Tonan all the way to the plaza of the Anbu base.

In the square, there were rows of lampposts emitting a dim yellow light.

The square is surrounded by layers upon layers of densely packed rooms.

Because Uchiha Tonan led Boruto in through the main gate at the front of the mountain, Boruto knew that this was inside the mountain.

Those rooms were all built on the stone walls inside the mountain.

Boruto looked up, his face filled with amazement, and exclaimed:

"My God... did they hollow out the entire mountain? This is just too outrageous."

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly and patted Boruto on the shoulder, saying:

“I don’t usually enter from here, but since this is your first time here, I’ll let you see the complete Dark Area.”

After saying that, he led Boruto up the stairs.

Along the way, Boruto looked left and right, his eyes filled with curiosity.

After a long while, Boruto, seeing that he hadn't seen a single ANBU member, asked with a puzzled look:

"This place is big, but it's so deserted. There's not a single person here."

Uchiha Tonan, who was walking in front, explained:

"The Dark Division has dedicated dormitories, recreation rooms, canteens, and all sorts of training rooms."

Look, these are all the individual rooms.

They usually stay in their rooms, so you rarely see them.

But don't wander into these rooms.

Some of the rooms are purely trap rooms, designed to guard against spies.

Upon hearing this, Boruto, with an expression of utter amazement, nodded repeatedly and said:

"So this is Konoha during wartime... It looks very strong."

Before they knew it, the two had crossed the highest stone bridge and entered Uchiha Tonan's office.

Uchiha Tonan's office was neat and clean, especially with several rows of mahogany bookshelves in the room.

The bookshelves were filled with books and scrolls, giving the impression that the room's owner was very knowledgeable.

The room didn't have the gloomy feeling I had imagined in the dark areas; instead, it was spacious and bright.

"It's so spacious."

These things look very valuable.

Boruto exclaimed in admiration as he reached out and gently stroked the decorations in the room.

Uchiha Tonan brewed a pot of tea, placed the full teacup on the table, and said gently:

"Please sit down. I usually only have tea here, not juice."

Please bear with it.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan sat down at his desk and pressed a button on it.

The next moment, a bookshelf against the wall in the room was moved slightly to the side, revealing a dark passageway.

A member of the Anbu, wearing a cat-face mask, walked out of the passage carrying a plate in both hands.

Boruto looked closely and saw that the plate was neatly arranged with scrolls.

The ANBU ninja didn't even glance at Boruto, but went straight to Uchiha Tonan's table and respectfully placed the plate on it.

He then took two steps back, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, this is the intelligence that has been piling up over the past three days. Please give your instructions."

But Uchiha Tonan didn't say a word. He took a scroll from the plate, unfolded it, and started reading.

He casually waved his left hand, signaling the ANBU ninja to step back.

The ANBU ninja stood up, placed his hands on his knees, bowed deeply to Uchiha Tonan, and then turned and walked into the passage he had just entered.

The bookshelf was returned to its original position, blocking the passageway.

For some reason, Boruto suddenly seemed much more reserved.

He sat down on the sofa, holding a teacup, and quietly watched Uchiha Tonan process the documents.

Uchiha Tonan knew that this was a normal reaction for an ordinary person when they suddenly met a great person.

Although Boruto's father is Naruto, who is the Hokage.

But Boruto never truly experienced Naruto's authority, and Naruto's personality doesn't seem to allow for such a commanding presence.

After all, times have changed. The ninja world is currently at war, so it's natural to respect hierarchy.

Boruto sipped his tea while curiously observing Uchiha Tonan, who was handling official business, barely daring to breathe.

He was afraid that he would make a fuss and affect Uchiha Tonan's work.

Time passed by, bit by bit.

Boruto had already drunk all the tea in his cup, but he didn't dare to pour any more.

Even though the teapot was right on the table in front of him.

Looking at Uchiha Tonan working diligently, Boruto couldn't help but let his mind wander.

Uncle Tu Nan looks so impressive! Is this the leader of the Anbu? He's way cooler than the Naruto.

Were those scrolls all confidential documents from the Dark Bureau?

I really want to see it, so I can brag about it to Sarada when I get back.

At that moment, Uchiha Tonan's gentle voice suddenly rang out.

"Come and see if you're curious. Anyway, you're not from this era, so it won't matter if you know these common secrets."

Boruto was slightly taken aback, then a slightly shy smile appeared on his face. He scratched his head, got up, and came to Uchiha Tonan's side, saying, "How could I possibly accept that?"

Uchiha Tonan didn't even look up, but pointed to the chair next to him.

Boruto immediately understood, moved a chair next to Uchiha Tonan and sat down, staring intently at the scroll in front of him.

Several of them contained information about other ninja villages.

Although the information above didn't contain any particularly secrets, Boruto still found it quite interesting.

However, when the next piece of information was revealed, a look of doubt flashed in Boruto's eyes.

The intelligence report did not contain written text, but rather some kind of sealing technique.

Did we stumble upon some great secret?

What could be sealed inside?

Leaving aside Boruto's wild thoughts, Uchiha Tonan had already begun forming hand seals, preparing to break the seal.

Uchiha Tonan reached out and pressed the scroll, and a wisp of white smoke rose up.

The next moment, the white smoke quickly dissipated, and Boruto beside him suddenly cried out in surprise:

"Eye......…"
