The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Uchiha Tonan forced a smile, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it next time."

The shrewd and experienced Sanhe Yuanliang naturally sensed that Uchiha Tonan had something difficult to say, and went along with it, saying:

"Actually, I'm not that gossipy."

The air outside is so different!

Uchiha Tonan pushed Sango Motoyoshi along the mountain path to the top of Hokage Rock to watch the sunrise.

The soft sunlight bathed the two in a golden glow, and Miyamoto Ryo felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, as if he had become younger.

"The village has changed so much over the years."

Uchiha Tonan reached out and straightened the fleece blanket that was almost curled up on Mikoto Motoyoshi, and chimed in, "The changes will be even greater in the future."

A kind smile appeared on Sanhe Yuanliang's face, and he asked as if in a daze:

"Tu Nan, do you even know your chakra nature?"

Uchiha Tonan gazed at the gradually bustling Konoha Village beneath the Hokage Rock and said calmly, "Why is Grandpa Motoyoshi asking this?"

"I was just asking."

Uchiha Tonan nodded and casually said, "I haven't had a formal test, but it seems like I have lightning, fire, water, and earth chakra."

Sanhe Yuanliang frowned and said, "There's no wind attribute?"

Behind him, Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly.

"I think so."

"I see..." Miyamoto Yoshiaki seemed to be considering something.

"Grandpa Yuanliang, I have to assemble in half an hour. Let me take you home first."

"it is good."

.......

In the days that followed.

Sango Motoyoshi completely accepted Uchiha Tonan, and the two became like grandfather and grandson.

Sango Motoyoshi even stated that he would pass on his ancestral Sango Gale Slash to Uchiha Tonan.

However, Uchiha Tonan firmly rejected him, citing his young age and the fact that his Sharingan had not yet been fully developed.

Uchiha Tonan completes missions with Minato Namikaze and Kakashi every morning.

In the afternoon, I either go to Kakashi's house for sparring or practice some basic courses with Minato Namikaze.

Examples include wading through water, climbing trees, and how to refine chakra more efficiently.

Kushina would also come to the team's weekly dinner to make a name for herself and check on Uchiha Tonan.

Every night, Uchiha Tonan would lock himself in his room to practice the Instantaneous Clone Technique.

The difficulty of cultivating this profound technique is extremely high. Not only must one meet the standards in terms of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, but one must also have sufficient talent and knowledge.

For such a long time, Uchiha Tonan hadn't even entered the gate.

On this day, their peaceful life was finally shattered.

Inside the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi pushed a mission sheet in front of Minato Namikaze.

"Given the strength of your class, this B-level mission will be assigned to you."

Minato Namikaze frowned, puzzled, "A B-rank mission? Isn't that a bit too early for the two of them?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette and explained:

"This mission is special. Although it is a B-rank mission, it is just a regular protection mission, and there is a high probability that there will be no ninja attack."

Minato Namikaze asked, puzzled, "If there are no ninjas, shouldn't this mission be a C-rank?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled without saying a word and tapped the reward section of the mission sheet with his finger.

It means the money has arrived.

"The employer for this protection mission is the Fire Temple."

Master Jigo of the Fire Temple is going to the Hot Spring Temple to debate Buddhist teachings.

You must protect his personal safety.

Although this mission is not dangerous, we cannot let our guard down.

After all, Master Jigo holds a high position and is very likely to become the next head priest of the Fire Temple.

My main reason for choosing you is because of your rapid progress with the Flying Thunder God technique. If anything unexpected happens, you can protect Master Chisato.

"No problem."

Minato Namikaze put away the mission sheet and the permit to leave the village, then turned to Kakashi and Tonan Uchiha behind him and said:

"This mission involves going on a long trip, so you should go home and pack your things first. We'll meet at the village entrance at 1 p.m.

Uchiha Tonan nodded, and before leaving, he exchanged a subtle, ambiguous glance with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Then he left the Hokage Building with Minato Namikaze and Kakashi.

[Chapter Forty-Eight: Meticulous Preparations for Departure]

After leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Tonan first went to the Uchiha clan's territory.

They purchased enough ninja tools and soldier pills from their clan's ninja tool shop.

Then he rushed back to Sanhe Yuanliang's home.

At this moment, Sanhe Yuanliang was drinking tea at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Whoo~"

Sanhe Yuanliang gently blew a breath, and the aroma of tea wafting from the cup mingled with the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, filling his nostrils.

The aroma even carried a hint of bittersweetness...

Sanhe Yuanliang took a small sip of tea, closed his eyes, and savored the taste with a look of pure enjoyment.

"High-quality tea tastes just different."

Ever since Uchiha Tonan started taking care of Mikoto Motoyoshi, Mikoto Motoyoshi's life has become more and more comfortable.

She not only serves tea and water on a daily basis, but also takes care of all kinds of housework.

Uchiha Tonan personally trims the flowers and plants in the yard every few days.

Clothes, tea, and all sorts of strange and unusual tonics were brought into the house every day.

Most importantly, all of this was paid for by Uchiha Tonan out of his own pocket.

At first, Sanhe Yuanliang refused.

I think Uchiha Tonan is wasting money.

Now...

"Mmm~ It smells so good~" Sanhe Yuanliang took another peck, his eyes slightly narrowed, and murmured:

"This little guy is really filial, but I wonder if he has wind-style chakra."

If he had it... hehe...

Just then, Uchiha Tonan hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard.

Sanhe Yuanliang immediately snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "Tu Nan, why are you back? Don't you have any missions today?"

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly, picked up the teapot on the stone table, filled Mikoto Motoyoshi's teacup with tea, and said gently:

"I received an escort mission today, which requires me to leave the village for a while."

So I rushed back to tidy up.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan walked into the house and began to pack his things.

Seeing this, Mikawa Motoyoshi placed his teacup on the stone table and pushed his wheelchair to the door.

"Since it's an escort mission, you'd better do your best. This is your first C-rank mission."

While tidying up the room, Uchiha Tonan replied, "This mission isn't C-rank, it's B-rank."

Sanhe Yuanliang was startled by these words, and a surge of anger rose within him. He said in a deep voice:

"You've only just become a genin, how come that brat Sarutobi assigned you a B-rank mission?"

Come on, let's take Grandpa to find him.

Grandpa is trying to get justice for you; he's practically sending you to your death.

Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly, his hands continuing their work as he said:

"There was no danger. It was originally just a C-level mission, but the employer was very wealthy and paid the B-level fee."

Therefore, the mission level has increased.

Upon hearing this, Sanhe Yuanliang immediately relaxed, smacked his lips, and said:

"That's good. You're lucky, kid. You've found a rich but foolish employer."

Uchiha Tonan paced back and forth in the room, fiddling with things, and casually replied, "You can't say that. People are paying for peace of mind."

Sanhe Yuanliang stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said:

"That's true. You and Kakashi are both geniuses. Your strength is beyond that of ordinary genin."

And that blond kid leading your team is pretty fast too.

The employer didn't lose money by spending it all.

What are you tinkering with at home? Do you have so much stuff to bring?

Uchiha Tonan wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his hands continued to work.

"I have prepared everything for the journey."

Oh, and the microwave is on the stool for you.

Simply turn it on when you need to heat food.
