The Master of Konoha's Legacy

What was unsealed was a rectangular plate.

Dozens of bloodstained eyeballs lay silently in the plate.

Uchiha Tonan calmly took a document from the drawer, checked a box next to a task, and said leisurely:

"This is the assassination intelligence that just came back."

Because this ANBU ninja had taken on several missions.

These tasks combined are estimated to take several years.

It's inconvenient to send the body back.

So they simply resorted to methods like cutting off ears, gouging out eyes, and chopping off fingers, sending the items back via scroll for confirmation.

After confirming the information, Uchiha Tonan resealed the eyes into the scroll.

He then closed the scroll, gently placed it back in its original position, turned to face the shocked Boruto, and said:

"You must understand that ninjas exist for killing."

These things are unavoidable.

Boruto took a deep breath, suppressing his nausea, and said in a low voice:

"What did the dead person do wrong?"

Uchiha Tonan rubbed his temples and thought for a moment before saying:

"He was a merchant from the Land of Fire who smuggled supplies during the war and sold them to the Cloud Ninja stationed on the border of the Land of Frost."

Boruto nodded silently, not feeling that the Anbu had killed the wrong person.

After all, this is a crime of treason and betrayal.

Suddenly, Boruto looked puzzled and said, "But... why are there so many eyes here?"

Uchiha Tonan said calmly:

“He was wiped out completely; his entire family, including the wandering ninjas he hired, were killed.”

Boruto's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why do this? It's so cruel!"

Aren't you afraid of killing innocent people by mistake?

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan's face showed sorrow, and he sighed deeply:

"That's how it is throughout the ninja world. If you don't treat others this way, they will treat you this way."

What the secret service does is to strike first, before disaster befalls their own people.

Upon hearing this, Boruto lowered his head deeply, clenched his fists, and seemed lost in thought.

Uchiha Tonan ignored him and continued working at his desk.

After a long time, the last scroll was marked with annotations.

Boruto then raised his head and said cautiously:

"Uncle Tunan, are you done with your work?"

Uchiha Tonan chuckled and shook his head, saying, "That was just an appetizer."

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan reached out and pressed one of the other three buttons on the table.

The next moment, the three bookshelves in the room began to slide horizontally, revealing the passage behind them.

Before long, footsteps could be heard coming from the passage.

Three ninjas in special department uniforms walked out of the passage carrying thick stacks of documents and placed them on Uchiha Tonan's desk.

Then they all stepped back a few paces, knelt on one knee, and said:

"Lord Tunan, this is the logistics department's trade list and distribution list."

"Lord Tunan, this is a research report from the Medical Department."

"Lord Tunan, this is the latest information on the interrogation. Please take a look."

Uchiha Tonan glanced at the documents, waved his hand, and said leisurely, "So many documents have piled up. You've all worked hard these past few days."

The three ninjas rose, bowed deeply to Uchiha Tonan, and then withdrew.

Boruto was completely stunned by what he saw, and stammered:

"So many... Uncle, can you read them all in one day?"

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly, and he said with a relaxed expression:

"If you calm down and look at it carefully, it actually won't take a whole day."

This is a good opportunity for you to participate.

I'll see. Please stamp the documents that can be approved and categorize them accordingly.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan handed the seal to Boruto.

Boruto looked at the seal before him, his eyes flashing with excitement, and said solemnly:

"no problem!"

Is this the seal of the leader of the Dark Division?

It's just a stamp, nothing at all.

However, Boruto then witnessed the speed of Uchiha Tonan.

But Uchiha Tonan moved with lightning speed, snatched a document, quickly scanned it, and immediately tossed it to Boruto.

Of course, some documents have problems and cannot be approved; Uchiha Tonan will put the documents aside.

Boruto's stamping speed was even a little slower than Uchiha Tonan's.

Time passed slowly. Boruto took a break from stamping the documents, wiped the sweat from his brow, and glanced at Uchiha Tonan, who was focused on his work.

The uncle is so focused when he works.

My dad seems to be like that too. I wonder if my uncle will be too busy with work to come home after he gets married.

"You can't get distracted during work hours."

Uchiha Tonan's gentle voice suddenly rang out.

Boruto snapped out of his daze and found himself surrounded by a thick stack of documents. He immediately looked apologetic and said:

"Oh... I'm sorry."

By noon, with their combined efforts, they finally finished their work for the day.

Boruto slumped into the chair, panting heavily.

"I'm so tired. If the leader of the Anbu has so much work, how can the Hokage not be busy to death?"

Uchiha Tonan smiled easily and pointed to the clock on the wall, saying:

"Look, it's only noon now, and we've already finished today's work."

There may seem to be a lot of things, but if you calm down and complete them one by one carefully, the difficulty is not as great as you might imagine.

The same principle applies when facing difficulties.

Nothing in this world is difficult if you set your mind to it.

Boruto was taken aback by these words and murmured:

"Nothing is impossible to a willing mind... Uncle, you speak with such wisdom..."

Unlike his father, who remained so incompetent even after becoming Hokage.

"I'm always so busy with work, I don't even go home all day."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan's expression instantly turned strange, and he said slowly:

"Isn't it a bit impolite of you to say such negative things about my son to my face?"

[Chapter 359: Grandfather and Grandson Reunited, Urashiki Arrives]

Boruto was taken aback for a moment, then looked embarrassed and said, "Huh? This... then does that mean I have to call you grandpa?"

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly, reaching out to gently stroke Boruto's hair again and again, his face full of affection.

Boruto felt a little awkward and gave an embarrassed laugh:

"Um... why aren't you saying anything...?"

But then Uchiha Tonan spoke softly and gently:

"Actually, ever since I adopted Naruto, I have always regarded him as my own son from the bottom of my heart."

Sometimes I wonder what Naruto will be like in the future.

Until yesterday I saw you.

As the former leader of the Dark Division, I should have arrested both of you unidentified individuals.

But for some reason, your eyes made me feel very close to you.

"You're Naruto's son, you must look a lot like Naruto."

Boruto pursed his lips and muttered:

"I'm nothing like him..."

Since becoming Hokage, he has rarely cared about his family, and he only brings back shadow clones every day.

I don't want to be like that when I grow up.

Uchiha Tonan nodded upon hearing this, a kind smile appearing on his face, and said:

"I see. Then I'll have to educate him properly from now on."

Let him know how to be a good father.

However, you are indeed Naruto's child, and in terms of seniority, you are truly my grandson.

As an elder, I should at least give you a gift when we first meet.

Boruto's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked expectantly, "What kind of gift will you give me?"
