The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly as he smiled faintly:

"Don't worry, I will also bring a few elite members of the secret service with me on this trip."

It's just a Rainbow, there won't be the slightest mistake.

Oh, by the way, there's something I need to tell you.

Kakashi has awakened.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked confused and said, "Awakening? What awakening?"

Danzo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his whole body trembled violently, and he stared intently at Uchiha Tonan's face, saying each word clearly:

"You mean, Kakashi awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately raised an eyebrow and looked at Tonan Uchiha, awaiting his reply.

Uchiha Tonan nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

Hiruzen Sarutobi cracked his cigarette, recalling that wartime intelligence had mentioned Kakashi had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.

As for the reason for its activation, the intelligence reports that Uchiha Tonan used special methods to share his bloodline with Kakashi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed his shock, exhaling thick white smoke as he murmured:

"As expected of a genius who was once on par with you, you were able to awaken the Kaleidoscope as an outsider."

You must have made great sacrifices to train Kakashi.

Uchiha Tonan smiled easily:

"Back then on the battlefield of Kumogakure, I was worried that I would die at the hands of the Raikage."

Therefore, I gave half of my bloodline to Kakashi, leaving a glimmer of hope for Konoha.

Looking back, we were very lucky.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded silently, wisely refraining from asking Uchiha Tonan if he could distribute his bloodline to others.

After all, bloodline doesn't mean much; so many pure-blooded Uchiha haven't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It can only be said that Kakashi himself is highly talented and works hard enough.

The bloodline bestowed by Uchiha Tonan was nothing more than a key.

Danzo, having outwardly reverted to his usual cold demeanor, asked in a perfunctory tone:

"This is truly wonderful news."

Kakashi truly lives up to his reputation as the son of Konoha's White Fang.

By the way, I've heard that Mangekyou Sharingan users have special abilities. I wonder what Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan ability is?

Uchiha Tonan leaned back slightly and replied in the same businesslike tone:

"He is my most trusted subordinate and my closest partner."

Neither of them glanced at the other as they spoke.

Uchiha Tonan knew that Danzo's greed had begun to take hold after he heard that Kakashi possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan ability is his personal trump card and can be considered a secret.

However, given their status, no Konoha ninja is entitled to keep secrets from them.

Uchiha Tonan's refusal to answer Danzo's question was a clear indication of his stance.

Kakashi is my man. His secrets are for me to keep to myself. I advise you not to have any improper thoughts.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was slightly tense.

After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was silently puffing on his cigarette, coughed heavily, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

Uchiha Tonan's lips trembled slightly. He immediately stood up and said as he walked out of the meeting room:

"Since the Hokage and Danzo have no objections to this matter, I will pack up and prepare to leave."

Chapter 397 Trilateral Talks - Tu Nanbaoren

[Chapter 398. Privately Requesting Sample Inspections]

Half an hour later, on the rooftop of Hokage Rock.

The snow had just stopped, and the snow covered the village, the woods, and the entire land.

The sunlight shone on this silvery white world, making it exceptionally radiant and dazzling.

Danzo, leaning on his cane, approached Uchiha Tonan, who was leaning against the railing admiring the snow scene, and said coldly:

"Why can't you say it in front of Hiruzen? Why do you have to ask me out alone?"

"Perhaps you didn't get enough of your show of power earlier?"

Uchiha Tonan exhaled a puff of white breath towards the sky before slowly turning around and saying calmly:

"After I return from the Land of Rain, I will need Lord Danzo to hand over Ryoma Aburame."

Danzo, enraged by these words, slammed his cane down heavily and said sternly:

"Impossible, we settled our score with Longma a long time ago."

You could even say you owe me something, and I've already let it go, but you still have the nerve to bring it up.

Uchiha Tonan chuckled and shook his head, saying leisurely:

"Lord Danzo is overthinking it. As the leader of the Anbu and the Hokage's advisor, I naturally wouldn't bother with a mere Root ninja."

I asked Lord Danzo for Ryuma Aburame in order to eliminate the last remaining grudge between Kakashi and Konoha.

For Konoha, exchanging Ryoma Aburame for the loyalty of a future super-strong individual is well worth it.

Moreover, Kakashi now fully deserves fair treatment.

The White Fang incident has always been a source of anxiety for Kakashi.

And we both understand who was right and who was wrong in that matter.

If Lord Danzo agrees, I will reopen the old case and proceed according to the rules. I will definitely not let Aburame Ryoma die without knowing why.

Lord Danzo should carefully consider whether Kakashi or Ryoma Aburame is more important.

Everything, for Konoha.

Danzo's grip on his cane tightened slightly.

For Konoha, Kakashi, who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, is definitely more important.

But it's really hard to hand over one's most trusted confidant by hand.

Even if it really has to be handed over, it can't be handed over for nothing; there has to be some compensation.

Danzo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Please give me some time to consider this."

After all, he has followed me for so many years and has made many contributions.

I still feel a little guilty.

Besides, he's the only confidant I truly trust.

If I wanted to cultivate another trusted confidant who could be easily managed, it would require a tremendous amount of resources and time.

Uchiha Tonan naturally understood the meaning behind Danzo's words, but the current Danzo was not worthy of taking any benefits from him.

Uchiha Tonan walked up to Danzo, gently patted his bandaged right shoulder, and leaned closer, saying:

"Those villagers who awakened the Sharingan were all people who had received my kindness in the past."

"I hope Lord Danzo will guide them well and contribute to the prosperity of Konoha."

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan gently squeezed Danzo's shoulder.

A look of surprise flashed in Danzo's eyes. He glanced at Uchiha Tonan and said in a low, stern voice:

"You are threatening me."

Uchiha Tonan smiled gently and said softly:

"This matter is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me; I've always been a person who keeps my mouth shut."

Regardless of whether Lord Danzo agrees or not, I will never tell a third person about this.

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, but finally relented and said:

"Although my actions were biased, they were all for the sake of Konoha."

Remember what you said. When you return this time, Kakashi will have complete control over Ryoma Aburame.

A public trial is out of the question, but remember to destroy his brain; he knows far too many of Konoha's secrets.

Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly, released his hand, and walked away towards the mountain path.

After leaving the Hokage Rock, Uchiha Tonan did not go directly to the Anbu, but instead returned to the orphanage first.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Hatake Kabuto carefully wiping the furniture inside.

Upon seeing Uchiha Tonan return, he immediately bowed and said, "Sir."

Uchiha Tonan nodded slightly and said, "Follow me."

After saying that, he led Kabuto Hatake to the container in the underground laboratory where Sasuke Uchiha's eyes were kept.

Kabuto Hatake stared in disbelief at the two open eyes inside the glass container, exclaiming, "This is...!"

Uchiha Tonan nodded and said, "That's right, these are the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan with six tomoe."

Kabuto Hatake subconsciously swallowed, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and muttered:

"Rinnegan? I remember the legendary Sage of Six Paths' eyes were Rinnegan..."

These eyes are so vibrant; it seems your strength has surpassed that of an immortal. Truly remarkable!

Uchiha Tonan ignored Hatake Kabuto's flattery and pointed to the various detection instruments connected to the glass containers by metal tubes, saying:

"The instruments have all been set up and are operating 24 hours a day."

Your task from now on is to record the data for these two pairs of eyes for me.
