The Master of Konoha's Legacy

When I was your age, I was just an ordinary Jonin.

That's truly remarkable.

As they spoke, Shuang picked up the wine pot, preparing to pour wine for Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan reached out and covered the wine glass, saying calmly:

"Thank you, I don't drink."

If there's tea, I wouldn't mind.

Shuang nodded gently, turned around and went to the corner of the room to start making tea for Uchiha Tonan.

At this moment, Hanzo of the Salamander, who had been observing Uchiha Tonan for a while, spoke up:

“I am much older than you, so I will call you Tu Nan. I hope you don’t mind.”

Uchiha Tonan frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

"Isn't this our first time meeting?"

Hanzo the Salamander paused for a moment, thinking to himself, "How can this kid be so clueless? Can't you see I was just being polite?"

Hanzo quickly realized what was happening and waved his hand with a smile, saying, "Tunan-kun."

At this moment, Shuang brought over the brewed tea and poured it for Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan gently picked up the teacup, lowered his head, blew on it, and chuckled softly:

"You're really joking."

Hanzo frowned, looking puzzled, and said, "A joke?"

Uchiha Tonan took a small sip of tea, then placed the teacup heavily on the table and said slowly:

You should call me "sir".

As soon as she finished speaking, Shuang wisely left the room.

Hanzo looked at Uchiha Tonan, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

This brat is even more arrogant than Kakashi.

I heard that this guy killed Orochimaru a few years ago, subdued the Nine-Tails not long ago, and became a perfect Jinchūriki.

Forget it, young people are proud and arrogant, I can't be bothered to argue with him.

After thinking for a moment, Hanzo took a deep breath and said in a slightly cold tone:

"Lord Tunan, I have already read the intelligence from Konoha."

Here I want to thank you for your hard work in coming to help us eliminate the Akatsuki organization.

Uchiha Tonan was just testing the waters.

If Hanzo dares to back down, then I will definitely push my luck.

Let me see where your bottom line really is.

A faint smile appeared on Uchiha Tonan's lips as he softly said:

"That's to be expected, since Konoha needs the Land of Rain as a strategic buffer zone."

That organization's peace principles conflict with Konoha's interests, so naturally I must eliminate them.

As expected of young people, they say everything outright and have no sense of subtlety whatsoever.

However, the more this is the case, the easier it is to fool them.

It seems that not arguing with him was the right decision.

Hanzo the Salamander thought to himself, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 401 Arrival at Amegakure and Meeting with Hanzo

[Chapter 402. Tunan Shiwei and Hanzo Resign to Their Fate]

At this point, Uchiha Tonan had already been categorized as a hothead in Hanzo's mind.

Since he was a greenhorn, Hanzo didn't bother with formalities and went straight to the point:

"I wonder how many people Konoha plans to send to help."

Uchiha Tonan pointed to himself, then pointed downstairs, and said leisurely:

"We've arrived."

What, from what you're saying...

"Do you think that even with Kakashi and me, we can't handle a small organization from the Land of Rain?"

Hanzo was stunned upon hearing this, and said in disbelief:

"Just the few of you?"

Uchiha Tonan tapped the table with his finger, his tone slightly displeased:

"To be precise, I'll be in charge of command, Kakashi will handle the tough guys, and the rest of the minions will be left to Amegakure."

Hanzo's expression suddenly turned somewhat ugly.

This is not Hanzo's fault, since he had only heard rumors that Uchiha Tonan was very strong.

However, this only equates him with Killer Bee, who is also a perfect Jinchūriki.

After all, Uchiha Tunan was an Uchiha, and with his eyes blind, how much strength could he possibly have?

As for Kakashi, sorry, Hanzo doesn't think an unknown kid can be that strong.

At most, there could only be one elite Jonin.

It should be known that members of the Akatsuki organization are spread throughout the Land of Rain. Although Hanzo had never personally experienced the strength of the three leaders behind the scenes, he knew that they were not the only ones who truly understood them.

But all the assassination attempts he had sent had failed.

What's most terrifying is that even the lowest-ranking subordinates are Jonin-level.

This is why Hanzo never dared to leave Amegakure to personally kill Nagato and the others.

Hanzo stared intently at Uchiha Tonan's face, his voice icy as he said:

"Is Konoha's sincerity lacking?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression instantly turning cold, and he said in a chilling voice:

"Hanzo, you have overstepped your bounds."

Do you really think your status is comparable to mine?

In Konoha's eyes, the entire Amegakure was nothing more than cannon fodder.

What right do you have to express your dissatisfaction in front of me?

"With me on board, you have no say in this operation. All you need to do is lead the Rain Village ninja to cooperate obediently."

Upon hearing this, Hanzo felt both annoyed and angry, and also found it somewhat ridiculous.

How dare a junior speak so arrogantly in front of me? Does he really think that I didn't argue with him earlier because I was afraid of him?

Hanzo placed his hands on the table, leaned slightly forward, and said in a threatening tone:

"You haven't heard of my former reputation, have you?"

Even the legendary Sannin of Konoha were defeated by me.

If I hadn't admired their courage back then, the Sannin wouldn't even exist.

Back then, whenever it was my home turf, even Ren Xiong had to be wary of me.

Uchiha Tonan sneered upon hearing this, picked up the teapot, poured tea, and mocked:

"The truth is, you didn't kill the three legendary ninja when they were young."

And I killed one, defeated one, and forced one to flee.

The title of demigod, in my opinion, is nothing but an empty name.

Hanzo felt that this hothead in front of him was simply ignorant of his own limitations.

He immediately retorted with a laugh, "Is this how you treat your seniors?"

It seems that Hiruzen Sarutobi is not doing a good job as Hokage at all, as his subordinates are so rude.

You must understand that you now represent the entire Leaf Village.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tonan put down the teapot, his expression turning serious, and said:

I didn't mean to target you.

However, my mission this time, besides helping Amegakure wipe out the Akatsuki organization, is...

There's another mission: to demonstrate Konoha's power to you and let you know how strong Konoha is.

"From now on, minimize contact with other ninja villages. Those who waver between the lines never end well."

Upon hearing this, Hanzo's expression changed from anger to a strange look, and he carefully examined Uchiha Tonan.

This kid looks quite refined and seems like a smart person.

I didn't expect him to be an idiot; who would reveal the mission objective beforehand?

Shi Wei, is that it? Do as you please, I won't take the bait.

Hanzo slammed his hand on the table and laughed loudly, looking up at the sky:

"Hahaha......

Lord Tu Nan, I admire your courage, and even more so your honesty.

Okay, you'll be in charge of this operation.

Not to mention those ninjas outside, I'll listen to you as long as you need me.

As for the claim that Amegakure had dealings with other ninja villages, that's completely untrue.

It's likely that spies are secretly sowing discord between Amegakure and Konoha. Lord Tunan, don't be fooled.

A smug smile appeared on Uchiha Tonan's face as he picked up his teacup and took a small sip, saying:
