The Master of Konoha's Legacy

He took the soup from Uchiha Tonan, blew on it a few times, and then said in a low voice, "That's not entirely the reason."

Uchiha Tonan noticed that Mikoto Motoyoshi was in a low mood, but he didn't press the matter and quietly continued eating.

After finishing their meal, Uchiha Tonan washed the dishes and thoughtfully brewed a pot of tea for Mikoto Motoyoshi before heading out.

In the living room, Sanhe Yuanliang looked at the tea in his cup and sighed:

"Little guy, I think you're a nice person. If you're lonely living alone, you can come and stay with me."

There was a spare key on the shoe cabinet.

Uchiha Tonan paused at the door, turned around, and said in a cheerful tone:

"I have training this afternoon, so I'll move over tomorrow night."

"I hope Grandpa Yuanliang will continue to guide me in the days to come."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Uchiha Tonan walked towards Kakashi's house, secretly plotting something in his mind.

This old guy used to be a squad leader in the secret service, so he must be quite capable.

If I could gain his approval and then wait for him to die, I wonder how much power I would gain.

Judging from his age, he should be nearing death.

I just don't know how the inherited abilities will be calculated.

If it's the ability gained at the moment of death, then it can basically only inherit knowledge.

If it's inheriting abilities from their prime, then that would be quite remarkable.

It's important to know that Konoha has many veterans who have survived so many wars, so their strength must be considerable.

The saying "old people become wiser" is no joke; most of those who remain are elites.

Is this the correct way to use the system?

No wonder it's called an inheritance system.

Uchiha Tonan felt like he had discovered a new continent. He reached out to adjust his glasses, and his steps became much lighter.

.......

The next day, before dawn.

Sanhe Yuanliang then woke up from his sleep.

As people get older, their sleep becomes very light, and they wake up this early every day.

Looking at the empty room, Mikoto Motoyoshi couldn't help but think of Uchiha Tonan.

That little guy should be on a mission this morning. If he's training with the instructor this afternoon, he probably won't move over until tonight.

With great difficulty, Miyamoto Ryo climbed from the bed into his wheelchair and pushed it out of the bedroom.

However, as soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, Sanhe Yuanliang froze on the spot.

The original incandescent light bulb in the living room had been replaced with a warm-toned fluorescent light.

Two bowls of congee and three side dishes were already laid out on the table.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Tonan was kneeling in front of the dining table, intently flipping through an unknown book.

"Ahem." Mikoto Motoyoshi coughed lightly, which caught the attention of Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan raised his head, quickly got up and ran behind Miho Motoyoshi to help push the wheelchair to the dining table.

"Grandpa Yuanliang, why did you get up so early? The porridge is still a little hot, you may need to wait a while."

Sango Motoyoshi stared at the food on the table, then looked up at Uchiha Tonan and said:

"Did you come so early just to cook breakfast for me?"

Uchiha Tonan returned to the dining table, knelt down, pushed up his glasses, and said, "The early bird catches the worm, and I've always liked to get up early."

After all, the early bird catches the worm.

"Okay, okay..."

Mikoto Motoyoshi's gaze toward Uchiha Tonan grew increasingly appreciative.

I wish this were my junior; she's well-behaved, hardworking, sensible, and very meticulous.

It feels like he possesses all the good qualities in the world.

"What book are you reading?"

"I'm learning how to infiltrate and disguise myself, since I'll probably be taking on missions outside the area in the future. If I don't know these things, I might hold my teammates back."

Uchiha Tonan didn't look up, flipping through the book while marking key points with a pen.

"Where did you buy this book?"

"I bought it at that bookstore on the street."

Sanhe Yuanliang frowned, then nodded and said:

"That scoundrel's bookstore, Dundas."

These kinds of books are full of empty talk; you can't learn much from them.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

Although I'm old, I still have experience; I've done many assassination missions in the past.

Consider this experience as payment for your care of me.

Uchiha Tonan raised his head, closed the book, and said gently:

"Taking care of you is my own choice, it would be too much of a formality to talk about compensation."

Sanhe Yuanliang picked up the bowl of congee, blew on it gently, and asked casually, "What kind of knowledge do you want to know?"

Uchiha Tonan thought for a moment and said:

"If I meet a samurai, how can I gain his approval?"

[Chapter 47. Fully Accepting Rank B Missions]

(Bonus chapter for a 10,000-yuan reward)

Upon hearing this, Sanhe Yuanliang narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly:

"You're so nice to this old man, you wouldn't happen to be a spy from the enemy village, would you?"

Uchiha Tonan was taken aback upon hearing this, smiled slightly, then took off his glasses and activated his Sharingan.

Seeing the three tomoe in Uchiha Tonan's eyes, Mikoto Motoyoshi was shocked.

It took Sanhe Yuanliang a long time to recover.

"I'm just getting senile and overthinking things."

What do I, a penniless old man, have that would make others care about me?

Besides, your Sharingan has already awakened to three tomoe; whatever you want, the Uchiha clan will probably give you.

Sanhe Yuanliang chuckled self-deprecatingly, sipping his congee as he explained to Uchiha Tunan:

"Gaining the approval of samurai is not an easy thing."

Samurai are a stubborn and faithful group; you need to understand what the samurai spirit is.

In fact, the spirit of the samurai refers to...

Uchiha Tonan chewed his food lightly while listening attentively to Mikoto Motoyoshi's explanation of the samurai spirit.

Because Uchiha Tonan basically gave up on trying to gain Hatake Sakumo's approval through emotions.

After all, Sakumo Hatake had Kakashi, and his feelings for his own son would always come first.

Uchiha Tonan could only think of ideological agreement.

After all, the Uchiha Elder's recognition of him was probably based on his shared ideology.

He believed he was the future hope of the Uchiha clan and was being groomed as their successor.

As for the recognition of strength, it's estimated that it will only be useful when encountering warmongers.

Mikado Motoyoshi only gave a superficial explanation of the samurai spirit.

He indicated that he would discuss more advanced topics after Uchiha Tonan had digested the information.

After the two finished their meal, Uchiha Tonan washed the dishes and chopsticks.

They found a fleece blanket and covered Sanhe Yuanliang with it.

Miyamoto looked at the fleece blanket on his body with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you covering me with this?"

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly, stuffed the hot water bottle into Mikoto Motoyoshi's fleece blanket, and said:

“It’s chilly outside, and you must be feeling stuffy staying at home all day. Let me take you outside for some fresh air.”

"Uh... okay."

The two walked through the streets and alleys of Konoha Village like grandfather and grandson.

Sanhe Yuanliang couldn't remember the last time he had gone out for a stroll.

Even when I go out on weekdays, I only ever buy some daily necessities from street-side grocery stores.

Along the way, the villagers of Konoha on both sides of the road started pointing and gossiping whenever they saw Uchiha Tonan.

This scene was also witnessed by Sanhe Yuanliang, who couldn't help but ask:

Are they talking about you?

Uchiha Tonan adjusted his glasses and said calmly:

"Yes, everyone in the village has been talking about me lately."

This piqued Sanhe Yuanliang's interest, and even his tone became a little lighter.

"I didn't expect you to be so famous. Tell Grandpa what it's all about."
