The Master of Konoha's Legacy

You look so unfamiliar. Could you be a descendant of the Uchiha clan who lived elsewhere?

Or perhaps a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths.

Sasuke Uchiha was already used to Orochimaru's gaze and asked directly:

"I want to know everything about Uchiha Tonan."

Orochimaru tilted his head and said leisurely:

"So you're his enemy, and you wanted to spy on him by coming here."

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head and said, "Whether he is my enemy or not, we'll have to get more information before we can say for sure."

Orochimaru's fingers twitched slightly, but he ultimately abandoned the idea of ​​taking action.

After all, the White Snake Immortal had warned him repeatedly beforehand not to have any wicked thoughts about the other party.

"He was once the number one genius in Konoha, born with all five chakra natures."

Later, he became a disciple of the third-generation patriarch and mastered a large number of ninjutsu.

He even learned magic at the Temple of Fire by some chance encounter.

He used this when he fought me…

Orochimaru had only spoken halfway when Sasuke Uchiha interrupted him, saying:

"What I want to know is not what he is good at, but what kind of person he is."

Orochimaru was taken aback by this, then chuckled, and finally shook his head, saying:

"Although I am his enemy, I have to say that, based on what I have seen with my own eyes, he is indeed a good person."

"A good person?" Sasuke Uchiha asked, half believing and half doubting.

Orochimaru nodded, the image of his battle with Uchiha Tonan flashing through his mind, and said slowly:

"The Fire Temple's Sage Arts require a flawless heart to learn."

"I understand."

Sasuke Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

"and many more."

Just then, Orochimaru called out to Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke Uchiha turned around and saw Orochimaru smiling faintly:

"That was just my personal opinion, but my two other companions seem to have a different feeling about him."

I'm not interested in finding out, but if you think it's necessary, I can ask them to come over.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke's expression hardened, and he asked in confusion:

"Companions? You mean Jiraiya and Tsunade?"

It seems the bond between the three legendary Sannin of Konoha is much deeper than I imagined.

Even if you become a rogue ninja now, they will still protect you.

A strange look flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"Hasn't Konoha already issued arrest warrants for Jiraiya and Tsunade?"

I only learned about this from the White Snake Immortal about six months ago.

I also chatted with them briefly.

Sasuke Uchiha frowned and said, "How is that possible? Jiraiya and Tsunade have betrayed the village?"

Although Sasuke Uchiha had been secretly gathering intelligence in Konoha these past few days, the time was too short and the channels were limited.

Basically, we can only learn about these things from the villagers' casual conversations, and we don't know many things that are common knowledge.

"The ninja world should know about this by now."

The former Legendary Sannin of Konoha have become the Three Rogue Sannin of Konoha. How ridiculous that sounds.

As Orochimaru spoke, he tilted his head back and spat out a scroll from his mouth.

[Chapter 371. The Three Ninjas Gather to Tell Their Stories]

After spitting out the scroll, Orochimaru glanced at Sasuke Uchiha. Seeing that the other man did not show any unusual expression, he thought less highly of him.

He immediately unfurled the scroll and slapped it with his hands in a mudra.

However, nothing happened.

Only Orochimaru maintained the same posture of slapping the scroll.

Sasuke Uchiha didn't think Orochimaru would make a mistake when using ninjutsu, and waited quietly.

After a long while, Orochimaru suddenly stepped back a little.

A huge plume of white smoke burst forth from above the scroll.

After the smoke cleared, a green toad the size of a palm and a slug as tall as two people with a curled-up body were revealed.

The green toad opened its mouth, and a hand stretched out.

Jiraiya, with his white hair, crawled out of the toad's mouth.

The slug then opened its body, revealing Tsunade, which it was carrying.

Jiraiya's upper body had barely crawled out when he began to ask:

"You cold-blooded bastard, you actually came to us on your own initiative."

It seems there's some trouble ahead.

Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice:

"It's not a big deal."

This guy wants to ask about Uchiha Tonan's character.

You have more right to speak on this matter than I do.

Upon hearing the name Uchiha Tonan, Tsunade turned to look at Uchiha Sasuke, who was standing quietly to the side, his Mangekyou Sharingan activated.

However, due to the obstruction of her bangs, Tsunade did not see Sasuke Uchiha's six-tomoe Rinnegan.

He immediately raised his eyebrows and swung his fist at Uchiha Sasuke.

"Uchiha bastards."

"Oh!"

A large crater was smashed into the ground, and Sasuke Uchiha's figure had already appeared on the other side.

Sasuke Uchiha had a certain understanding of Tsunade's personality, so he had no complaints.

Jiraiya had already crawled out of the toad's mouth and squinted at Uchiha Sasuke.

The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan...

But he wasn't wearing a headband.

Just as Tsunade was about to continue attacking Sasuke Uchiha, Jiraiya flashed to her side and pulled her back, saying:

"This guy doesn't seem to be from Konoha."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Tsunade, then at Jiraiya, and said expressionlessly:

"Everything has changed. I never imagined that you... would actually betray Konoha."

Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged a glance upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashing in their eyes.

Jiraiya took a few steps closer to Sasuke Uchiha and said in a deep voice, "What is your relationship with Tonan Uchiha?"

Uchiha Sasuke gently shook his head and said:

"That's not important. What I really want to know is why you betrayed the village."

In my memory, neither of you could possibly betray Konoha.

Tsunade recalled the reasons she had become a rogue ninja, her fists clenching involuntarily as she said bitterly, "It's all that bastard's fault..."

Jiraiya sighed softly and said in a deep voice:

"Let me explain."

It's rare that anyone still cares about the reasons we betrayed the village.

"Actually, when I first became a rogue ninja, I always thought that all of this was a misunderstanding caused by Tsunade and me being too reckless."

But these days, I often think back to what happened back then.

Everything from the past is becoming clearer in my mind.

I don't care if you're from Konoha or not; since someone has asked, I hope someone can learn about our grievances.

Uchiha Sasuke was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in confusion, "Injustice?"

Jiraiya nodded and said:

You should know about Orochimaru, right?

At that time, everyone in the ninja world thought that Orochimaru was conducting live experiments in secret, but he was discovered and killed by Uchiha Tonan.

The three of us grew up together; it would be a lie to say we didn't have feelings for each other.

"You two can continue your conversation. I'm going back to my training." Orochimaru clearly disliked discussing personal relationships, especially when it came to himself. He turned and silently walked into the depths of the forest.

Jiraiya continued:

"So when we heard this news, even though we knew Orochimaru was wrong, we still felt hostile towards Uchiha Tonan."

Sasuke Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "You took the initiative to attack him."

Jiraiya made no attempt to hide it, admitting:

"That's right.

It was our fault in the first place.

However, we had no intention of killing him.
