The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Kakashi sat upright in his seat, quietly watching the two little ones in front of him do their homework.

After all, as the head of a clan, it is his duty to educate the younger generation.

But the two little guys, Hatake I and Hatake Genbo, didn't dare to lift their heads. They knelt properly in front of the table, awkwardly holding pens and practicing calligraphy.

In the ninja world, children are usually taught to read by their elders.

Ninja academies wouldn't waste their time teaching such things.

Children typically enter ninja academy at the age of five or six by passing an exam.

Therefore, those basic things are learned starting at one or two years old.

There's no way around it; the ninja world has always been this chaotic.

It must be said that Kakashi still commands great respect from children.

Especially his perpetually cold expression made Yi Heyanbu deeply fear this clan leader.

"Quickly, issue an emergency notice: all Konoha ninjas, go to the sealing team to help maintain the barrier."

Anxious shouts came from the street outside the courtyard.

Kakashi frowned slightly upon hearing this.

The situation seems to have become serious; it's no longer just a simple natural disaster.

He immediately got up, went to the wall, took out the white tooth, and instructed the two little ones, "I'm going out for a bit. You two stay home and do your homework."

The two little ones stared wide-eyed at Kakashi and nodded emphatically, saying, "Mhm!"

Kakashi nodded slightly, hung his white teeth on his back, and walked through the courtyard to the gate.

"Mr. Kakashi, as the captain of the Anbu, is he going too?"

Kakashi turned around upon hearing this.

Kabuto Hatake was standing in the corridor, holding a tea tray.

Kakashi reached up and pulled up his mask, saying in a lazy tone:

"The Anbu are also Konoha ninjas."

As Tu Nan said, a job title only indicates that we do different jobs; it doesn't mean that we are superior in other aspects.

Kabuto Hatake smiled slightly and said in a cryptic tone:

"Mr. Kakashi, I hope you will always protect yourself. Your people need your protection."

Kakashi paused for a moment, glanced at the room he had just left, then turned and pushed open the door, saying:

"Don't spoil Yi too much."

Ultimately, people have to rely on themselves.

No one can protect anyone forever.

After saying that, he walked out of the courtyard and closed the gate.

Looking at the tightly closed gate, Kabuto Hatake's lips moved slightly, and he murmured:

"some."

The moment the courtyard gate closed, the two little ones who were engrossed in practicing calligraphy inside the house immediately cheered.

"Great! The clan chief has gone out."

"You can play now."

Just then, Hatake saw Hatake Kabuto enter carrying a tea tray and immediately said with a happy expression:

"Do you want to play together, Dousang?"

Kabuto gently placed the tea tray down, looked at Kabuto with a slight smile, and said:

"No, I'll keep watch for you."

Deep within the Leaf Village's barrier.

A group of Konoha's high-ranking officials had already gathered here.

Under the command of the barrier leader, a large number of Konoha ninjas took turns to inject chakra into the barrier.

Under the corrosive effects of chakra toxins, an average group of people can only last about five minutes.

Just then, an ANBU member approached Hiruzen Sarutobi, knelt on one knee, and said:

"Lord Hokage, the snow on the surface of the barrier has begun to melt."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply and kept smoking.

Danzo, standing beside him, said with a grim expression:

"Oh no, once those toxins are dissolved in the water, the contact area with the barrier will increase."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a long puff of smoke and said in a deep voice, "What does the medical department say?"

The ANBU ninja replied in a deep voice:

"The medical department ninjas said they had never seen the principle behind this toxin before."

It will probably take a very long time to develop an antidote.

However, experiments have shown that this toxin is not fatal; at worst, it can cause shock and paralysis.

The more chakra, the stronger the paralyzing effect.

It won't be fatal... That's good news, at least the civilians will be safe.

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, glanced sideways at Danzo whose expression was still grim, and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"This round of ninjas is quite good; they've actually lasted this long without running out of energy."

If I remember correctly, there are a few of the Root ninjas you recently recruited here.

It seems you've already snatched up all the promising young talents from Konoha.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi's words were simply meant to ease the tense atmosphere.

But Danzo paused slightly upon hearing this, a stiff smile appearing on his lips as he shook his head and said:

"They're not promising talents at all; they're all from humble backgrounds and they're not young at all."

Just then, the class monitor of the barrier class suddenly shouted excitedly in their direction:

"Lord Hokage, the barrier's energy consumption has returned to normal."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow, somewhat incredulous, and said:

"What's going on? Has that toxin stopped eroding the barrier?"

The leader of the barrier team immediately formed a hand seal, communicated with the Konoha barrier to sense it, and said with great excitement, "The toxins seem to have completely disappeared."

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, "This is too strange..."

Danzo pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Could it be that this kind of poison has a relatively short shelf life?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, looked up at the ceiling, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the ceiling and see the outside world, and murmured:

"It's possible that this is some kind of toxin released by ninjutsu."

If I'm not mistaken, it was Tu Nan who defeated his opponent.

At this moment, in the devastated battlefield...

Uchiha Tonan, dressed in a black trench coat, strolled leisurely across the snow.

They left not a single footprint in their path.

After being hit by a snowstorm, the nearby forests have been completely destroyed.

The nearby trees were all covered by a thick layer of snow.

When Uchiha Tonan arrived not far from the old cabin, he immediately saw Uzumaki Boruto and Uchiha Sasuke lying in the snow.

Boruto's position has changed; he was probably pushed a distance by the snowstorm.

However, Sasuke Uchiha remained in the same spot.

But Uchiha Tonan remained calm, bent down and first hoisted Boruto Uzumaki onto his shoulder, then stopped in front of Uchiha Sasuke.

His eyes, hidden beneath the bandages, gradually narrowed.

Sasuke Uchiha, who was standing in front of him, was breathing very weakly, as if he would die if he lay in the snow for a little longer.

But such a clumsy disguise could not escape the eyes of Uchiha Tonan.

Although Uchiha Tonan couldn't tell whether Uchiha Sasuke was truly unconscious at that moment.

But the snowstorm had already buried all those big trees, yet it hadn't buried the two unconscious people. That didn't make any sense.

Boruto on his shoulder is too weak to fool Uchiha Tonan.

Therefore, the only person who could fool Uchiha Tonan here is Uchiha Sasuke.

After a few moments of silence, Uchiha Tonan finally decided to give each other a chance.

After all, both the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan with Six Paths were irresistible temptations for Uchiha Tonan.

If there's even the slightest way out, we'll avoid turning against each other.

A look of relief gradually appeared on Uchiha Tonan's face as he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness you're alright."

[Chapter 369. Sasuke Arouses Suspicion and Investigates the Truth]

The next day.

Konoha has returned to its former peace.

In this cruel world, as long as a person is alive, it's not a big deal.

For most ordinary people, yesterday's experience is nothing more than a topic of conversation at the dinner table.

After settling Sasuke Uchiha and Boruto Uzumaki back in the village, Tonan Uchiha went to the Hokage Building to explain the situation.

Of course, it can't be said that aliens came from the future.
