The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Now that my strength has recovered to half, I should be able to handle it if I'm careful.

I just don't know if they can hold on.

All we know is the direction out of the village; we have absolutely no other clues.

Where did they go?

I'll have to search them all.

Suddenly, Sasuke Uchiha's ears twitched slightly, and he could faintly hear the sound of a waterfall.

He immediately stopped on a hilltop, gazed into the distance, and murmured:

"That's... the Valley of the End."

It would be good to go and take a look.

After thinking it over, Uchiha Sasuke ran towards the Valley of the End.

A few minutes later, Uchiha Sasuke was already standing on the shore of the Valley of the End.

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha's face was ashen, and his eyes seemed to be churning with anger.

On the rocks on the ground, there was a small dark brown patch, which was clearly the trace of dried blood.

In particular, a single yellow hair was firmly stuck to the surface of the patch.

Sasuke Uchiha could naturally recognize that the blond hair belonged to Boruto.

Although Boruto and Sasuke Uchiha don't have a very good relationship, he is, after all, Naruto's son.

My purpose in coming here is twofold: first, to prevent Urashiki Otsutsuki from harming Naruto from the past; and second, to protect Boruto, who is traveling with me.

If something happens to Boruto, how will I explain it to Naruto?

No, if something happens to Boruto, I won't be able to go back at all.

The plow is a Noble Phantasm of the Otsutsuki clan, and only the Otsutsuki clan can activate it.

Boruto's physique is already equivalent to almost half of Otsutsuki's, and Piri himself said that Boruto is qualified to be used.

Thinking of this, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes turned cold. He leaped onto the top of Madara Uchiha's statue and strained his eyes to look in all directions.

Finally, Sasuke Uchiha saw a single strand of blond hair hanging quietly on a branch of a large tree about five kilometers to the east.

........

Almost every five kilometers, Sasuke Uchiha could find Boruto's blond hair.

At first, Sasuke Uchiha was still guessing that Boruto had secretly left the clue for him.

But as time passed and the journey became longer, Sasuke Uchiha realized that these clues were deliberately left behind by the enemy.

The goal must be himself.

Even with ambushes ahead, Sasuke Uchiha had no choice but to follow the clues and keep searching for Boruto's sake.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The deep blue sea, merging with the deep blue sky, is set off by wispy gray clouds, resembling a delicate ink painting.

Uchiha Sasuke stood on the beach, his eyes lowered as he glanced at the blond hair in his hand, then took a deep breath and looked around.

No matter how closely Sasuke Uchiha observed, he couldn't find any further clues.

It's important to understand that even though Sasuke Uchiha possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan with six tomoe, it wasn't the Byakugan specifically designed for insight.

To be able to see a single hair clearly from five kilometers away is roughly the limit of the distance that Uchiha Sasuke could observe in detail.

Every time, Sasuke Uchiha used all of his eye power.

I used my eyes intensively and continuously all night long.

Even though Sasuke Uchiha had recovered more than half of his strength, his eyes were already feeling sore.

The last hair was found on this shore.

But ahead lies a vast ocean; where should one look?

Just as Uchiha Sasuke was pondering, the horizon where the sea met the sky in the distance began to lighten slightly.

[Chapter 376. Tu Nan Appears, Bewitching and Luring]

The gentle sea surface shimmered, with the crests of the waves sparkling with silver light, like boundless, leaping mercury.

"Has a night already passed?"

Uchiha Sasuke gazed at the sea, a resolute glint in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"We can't wait any longer; the only option now is to cross the sea to find them."

Just as Uchiha Sasuke was preparing to cross the sea, he suddenly sensed a terrifying chakra fluctuation emanating from the ocean in all directions.

But the sea, which had been splashing with waves, suddenly calmed down as it approached, as if it had been smoothed out by an invisible hand.

The entire blue sea looked majestic and serene, its surface as smooth as marble.

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes flashed as he stared straight ahead.

He had already guessed that the mastermind was about to reveal himself.

The fact that their water-based techniques could affect such a large area of ​​the sea suggests that they lured me here because they were extremely skilled in water-based techniques.

"Choosing a home ground that suits you? The ninjas of this era are not to be underestimated."

Perhaps because of the distance, even Uchiha Sasuke couldn't see exactly where the other party was, and could only stand on the shore, keeping a watchful eye on them.

Suddenly, Sasuke Uchiha's ears twitched, and his expression hardened.

"Cuckoo~"

"Cuckoo~"

Where the sea meets the sky, countless black dots surged up, quickly filling the entire sky, and flew towards where they were.

These black dots flew to the top of Uchiha Sasuke's head, circled several times, and then gathered together, transforming into the shape of Uchiha Tonan, before slowly falling to the ground from the sky.

"It was you."

Sasuke Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze towards Tonan Uchiha seemingly simmering with anger.

But then Uchiha Tonan stood with his hands behind his back in front of Uchiha Sasuke, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Don't rush, I just want to see if we can salvage our relationship before we turn on each other."

Uchiha Sasuke snorted coldly, reached for the hilt of the Kusanagi sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that I don't have any connection with you."

Also, if you want to negotiate with me, isn't it impolite to use illusion magic?

If I remember correctly, this should be a five-sense illusion technique belonging to the Kurama clan.

I didn't expect you to know even this.

Uchiha Tonan showed no surprise at having his genjutsu exposed.

After all, both of them were masters of genjutsu, and Uchiha Tonan never thought that he could deceive Uchiha Sasuke with a mere five senses genjutsu.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Uchiha Tonan's eyes. He turned and walked to the shore, his back to Uchiha Sasuke, and said leisurely:

Where there's a will, there's a way; nothing is impossible in this world.

Have you ever thought about the meaning of life, which is only a fleeting hundred years?

Uchiha Sasuke remained expressionless upon hearing this, and said coldly:

“In the past, the reason I was able to keep living was revenge.”

But now, all I want to do is protect Konoha and everything in Konoha.

Of course, it's Konoha from my world.

How you choose to live in this world is your business.

Please hand Boruto over to me and let us go.

Uchiha Tonan ignored Sasuke's request, instead giving a self-deprecating laugh and shaking his head, saying:

“I’m not like you. I’ve always been selfish and very cowardly.”

Uchiha Sasuke sneered and said in a slightly mocking tone:

"Pretending to be innocent, are you a coward?"

"Hmph, I think you're bolder than anyone else."

Uchiha Tonan sighed, slowly turned around, and looked sincerely into Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, saying:

“I am terrified of death, so I will do everything in my power to eliminate anything that might threaten my life from this world.”

It must be said that there are countless beings in this world and even in the vast universe that could kill me.

Therefore, I did my best to improve my own strength.

For this reason, I am even willing to give up some things that ordinary people cherish but are completely useless to me.

Even the fame and fortune that the world values ​​are nothing more than tools for me to improve myself.

Of course, besides other powerful life forms that could threaten me, there are also some natural laws that have existed since the birth of the universe.

Therefore, I place great emphasis on research and carefully explore these principles.

But as my knowledge and experience broadened, I felt increasingly insignificant.

Uchiha Sasuke narrowed his eyes and said coldly:

"What's the point of telling me all this?"

In the end, all you want is to live forever.

In this respect, you're quite similar to Orochimaru.

Uchiha Tonan immediately shook his head repeatedly and waved his hand, saying:

"No, no, no, the result may be the same, but the understanding of immortality may be different."

And this isn't some kind of evil topic.
