The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"Right now, I can't afford to have any negative emotions."

Kakashi pursed his lips, raised his head and stared straight at Uchiha Tonan, his sorrow tinged with a hint of sympathy and pity.

For some reason, Kakashi felt a little sorry for Uchiha Tonan at that moment.

Then I thought of the Mangekyou Sharingan and space-time ninjutsu displayed by the masked man who supposedly attacked Konoha.

A deep sense of guilt welled up inside him, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"Actually, you don't have to be so tired."

Konoha owes you so much.

Moreover, Konoha doesn't just belong to you alone; it belongs to everyone, including me.

"If I had been in Konoha back then, Minato-sensei and Kushina-senpai might not have died."

Uchiha Tonan smiled gently and said in a relaxed tone:

Don't say that.

Now that I have chosen to take on this responsibility, I will not slack off.

As long as I can protect Konoha, I'm willing to become a tool without emotions.

Kakashi, you are my partner, and I don't want you to become like me.

Work hard these next few years and earn more money.

"Once Konoha is more stable in a few years, I'll prioritize removing you from the Anbu."

Kakashi knew that Uchiha Tonan meant well, but the thought that he couldn't share the burden with his best friend was unbearable.

Instead, he harbored selfish motives and concealed the fact that Obito was the masked man, leaving him with mixed feelings.

As Kakashi thought this, tears streamed down his face from beneath his mask. He bit his lip, suppressing a sob, and said:

"sorry......."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan's face showed a strange expression, and he feigned doubt, saying:

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong."

"That masked man..."

As Kakashi spoke, he felt something stuck in his throat.

The image of him killing Rin with his own hands and Obito's incredulous gaze flashed through his mind.

I can't say... that Obito became like this because of me...

Tu Nan was so loyal and devoted; Obito was not only his comrade but also his clansman.

How distressed would Tu Nan be if he knew that Obito was the murderer of Minato and Kushina?

Tu Nan has already endured too much suffering for Konoha.

Let me bear this pain alone.

Thinking of this, Kakashi took a deep breath, lowered his head heavily, and growled:

"I will find a way to kill him and avenge Minato-sensei and Kushina-senpai."

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

Everyone has their own little secrets.

Even Kakashi is the same.

How could you deceive me like this?

I hate being deceived the most.

You were unkind first, so don't blame me for being unjust later.

Uchiha Tonan sighed heavily, stood up, walked over to Kakashi, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"Go back and relax. Don't rush things when it comes to revenge."

Don't worry, I can manage.

Kakashi nodded silently, then turned and quickly left the office.

After the office door closed, Boruto could still faintly hear sobbing sounds coming from outside, and he clicked his tongue in surprise:

"Even Uncle Kakashi cries."

“If I weren’t in this position, I would have cried even more than him.”

Boruto turned around upon hearing this and saw Uchiha Tonan standing there with a slightly hunched back, as if he were about to be crushed by the heavy burden of reality.

Is this the cruelty of wartime?

One by one, relatives and friends passed away, and even Uncle Kakashi, who was such an optimistic person, cried so bitterly.

Grandpa, however, was still trying his best to hold on.

Boruto felt his heart soften instantly. He stood up, went to Uchiha Tonan, took his hand, and smiled brightly, saying:

"grandfather......

Okay, let's not discuss such sad topics now.

"Can we set off now?"

Uchiha Tonan seemed to be infected by Boruto's cheerful optimism; his expression brightened considerably, and he said softly:

"Come on, Grandpa will take you to have some fun."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the sea.

On a mountaintop outside Wuyin Village.

A spatial vortex appeared next to a pitcher plant.

Masked Tu Nan stepped out of the vortex and landed on the ground.

The pitcher plant slowly opened, revealing the black and white monster inside.

But Bai Jue said with a smug look on his face:

"Ah, Lord Madara, you're a bit slow. I arrived a long time ago."

Masked Tu Nan ignored the White Zetsu, this clown, and gazed at the distant Kirigakure village from beneath his mask, muttering:

"So this is Kirigakure. In terms of prosperity, it's only slightly less developed than Konoha."

There should be some good results.

Black Zetsu glanced at the masked Tu Nan and echoed in a deep voice:

"Once the naval war is completely over, this place will become even more prosperous."

But then again, aren't you worried about the Rinnegan's condition?

However, Masked Tunan seemed to be on a completely different wavelength from Black and White Zetsu, asking to himself, "Where is the Fourth Mizukage?"

A look of displeasure appeared on Bai Jue's face, and he said leisurely:

“That guy isn’t in Kirigakure right now. If you ask me in a nicer tone, I might consider telling you.”

Black Zetsu keenly noticed that Masked Tu Nan's gaze had become somewhat sharp, and quickly replied:

"The Three-Tails has been resurrected and has been captured by the Hidden Mist Ninja."

Yagura Karatachi is currently preparing a sealing ceremony at the beach, seemingly intending to seal the Three-Tails into his own body, making it his jinchūriki.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jue asked in astonishment:

"How could you just blurt this out on your own? Who are you on board with?"

The masked man, Tu Nan, said coldly, "The exact location."

Black Zetsu immediately controlled a branch to extend, with a scroll trailing behind it.

Masked Tu Nan took the scroll, opened it, and after confirming the exact location, threw it back.

At the same time, his left eye glanced at Bai Jue's arm and he glared at it slightly.

"what!"

But then White Zetsu's scream rang out, his features contorted in pain.

"Ugh...it hurts so much...my hand..."

Masked Tu Nan was too lazy to talk to a mere nobody like White Zetsu, so he simply used Kamui to sever White Zetsu's arm as a small punishment.

He immediately activated his space-time ninjutsu and headed towards the location on the map.

After confirming that Masked Tu Nan had left, Black Zetsu glanced at the wailing White Zetsu and said leisurely:

"You need to be more careful in the future, and you can't treat him like that brat you used to be."

Otherwise, he really will kill you.

I don't want to change partners too frequently.

[Chapter 361. Sealing the Three-Tailed Beast: A Chance Encounter with Urashiki]

late at night.

The starry sky is reflected on the surging sea, dancing up and down with the waves, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

The waves surged like a thousand horses, baring their ferocious teeth and roaring loudly, as if relentlessly chasing something.

"roar~"

The deafening roar of the beast echoed across the sea.

On the sea, Isobu roared with its head raised and flicked its tail to chase away the small black dots around it.

Those little black dots, like flies, kept attacking Isobu.

However, their attacks did not cause Isobu much real harm; they only made Isobu feel annoyed.

"The taste of bleeding is truly wonderful."

"A long-lost thrill of combat!"
