The Master of Konoha's Legacy

I've put your everyday items down low so they're easier for you to reach.

With that, Uchiha Tonan went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

The refrigerator was crammed full of things.

Seeing this, Uchiha Tonan shook his head and said:

"These ingredients can't be kept either."

Then he tied the apron around his waist, took out all the ingredients, and placed them on the cutting board.

"Da da da..."

The sound of hurried chopping vegetables came from the kitchen.

Sango Motoyoshi pushed the wheelchair into the living room and looked at Uchiha Tonan, who was busy in the kitchen, and said:

"You don't need to worry about me. I've lived for so many years and I can take care of myself."

Uchiha Tonan dismissed Sango Motoyoshi's words and squatted down to take out the old tea leaves from the kitchen cabinet.

“I know, but what about you as a person?”

I must criticize you for being too frugal in your lifestyle.

Look at the tea you drank before I came; it was all just tea foam and stems when you brewed it.

Drinking too much of these things is bad for your health.

Look, I've put all the new tea leaves in the cupboard.

I'll just throw all your old tea leaves in the garden as fertilizer.

As he spoke, Uchiha Tonan strode quickly into the courtyard.

Sanhe Yuanliang shouted urgently, "No! It was all bought with money!"

However, Uchiha Tonan ignored it completely and threw the old tea leaves directly into the flower bushes.

Sanhe Yuanliang looked pained.

"By the way, speaking of money."

Uchiha Tonan patted his forehead and took out 10,000 taels of silver from his wallet.

He stuffed it into the coat hanging on the coat rack by the door.

"I'll put this ten thousand taels in your pocket. Buy whatever you need, don't try to save any for me."

Mikoto Motoyoshi frowned and looked at Uchiha Tonan, who was still busy with his work:

"You do D-level missions every day and spend so much money on me. Where did all that money come from?"

Uchiha Tonan replied in a nonchalant tone, "This money is the death compensation that the village gave to my parents after they died in battle."

Sanhe Yuanliang was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately took a deep breath.

He pushed the wheelchair to the clothes rack and took out ten thousand taels of silver from it.

At that moment, Sanhe Yuanliang realized for the first time how heavy money really was.

“Take it away, take it away. How can I use your parents’ pension?”

Uchiha Tonan deflected Mikoto Motoyoshi's hand and shook his head, saying:

"If I complete this mission, I will receive a reward of 40,000 taels of silver, which I can earn back."

Sanhe Yuanliang was getting a little anxious. Although he was greedy and stingy, he wouldn't spend the money his juniors earned by risking their lives.

“I’m an old man who doesn’t go out, why would I need so much?”

Uchiha Tonan squatted down, grasped Mikoto Motoyoshi's hand, and said earnestly:

"If something happens to your health while I'm not home, you'll need money to go to the hospital."

In addition, since you have difficulty walking, you'll have to ask your neighbors for help.

If anything unexpected happens, remember this.

Don't be stingy; give them a red envelope as a token of your gratitude.

This 10,000 taels is mainly for your emergency use.

Otherwise, I wouldn't feel at ease leaving you alone while I'm out there.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan patted the back of Mikoto Motoyoshi's hand and got up to continue his work.

“I…” Sanhe Yuanliang looked at the banknotes in his hand and choked up for a moment.

[Chapter 49. Yuanliang Agrees to Leave Konoha]

It was noon.

After fussing over his eyes, Uchiha Tonan took off his glasses and wiped the lenses with a tissue.

Then bring the food to the table.

"Let's eat first, I have to leave after I finish eating."

I've put all the rice balls in the refrigerator. I can just take them out and heat them up when I want to eat them.

This should be enough for you until I get home. Remember to heat it up before you eat it, as it's not good for your stomach if it's too cold.

I've prepared a balanced mix of meat and vegetables in these rice balls, so please remember not to be picky.

"I... Waaah..." Sanhe Yuanliang stretched out his rough hands to cover his face, sobbing incessantly.

Startled, Uchiha Tonan quickly came to his side, put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a worried expression:

"Grandpa Yuanliang, why are you crying? Did I say something too harsh just now?"

Sanhe Yuanliang waved his hand and shook his head repeatedly.

It took her a long while to recover, and she still spoke with a sob in her voice:

"Grandpa doesn't want your money. There's a secret compartment under my bed in my bedroom where I have all my life savings."

You're the one who needs to spend the most money when you're out and about, so don't try to save money for Grandpa.

Take good care of yourself and come back safely...

As she spoke, she started crying again, just like a little child.

Uchiha Tonan kept comforting him:

"I have money, I'm very rich."

Besides, the expenses for this trip were all reimbursed by the employer.

Keep your savings for yourself; saving money is, after all, your hobby.

"Well... well... okay..."

Upon hearing this, Sanhe Yuanliang sobbed a few times, still feeling a little reluctant to spend the money.

"I've figured it out. I've been frugal my whole life, and I can't take this money with me to the afterlife."

Just remember this: all this money will be yours in the future; it's probably around 20 million taels.

And take that knife from my bedroom; you can use it for self-defense.

Uchiha Tonan picked up the rice bowl and chopsticks, placed them in Mikoto Motoyoshi's hands, and then returned to his seat.

"No need for the sword, it's a chakra weapon after all, too precious."

Sanhe Yuanliang paused for a moment, then slowly began to eat his rice, saying between chews, "A knife is not as important as a person."

Uchiha Tonan shook his head and said, "It would be too conspicuous for a genin like me to go out with a chakra weapon."

“That’s true.” Sanhe Yuanliang nodded.

"Ding, you have gained the approval of Sanhe Yuanliang."

Uchiha Tonan, who was eating, paused slightly with his chopsticks, then continued eating as if nothing had happened.

After the two had almost finished eating, Uchiha Tonan casually spoke up:

"By the way, I made an appointment for you at the hospital a while ago."

Sanhe Yuanliang frowned, thought for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why do you need to register me? I'm perfectly healthy."

As Uchiha Tonan cleared away the dishes, he explained:

"This is your medical examination number. I'll take you for a medical examination when I get back."

If you have any health problems, seek early detection and treatment.

If everything is fine, that's even better. From now on, you'll need to have a check-up every six months.

Sanhe Yuanliang waved his hand and said, "It's too much trouble. I'm not going. I'll cancel the account."

Uchiha Tonan paused in his washing of the dishes and said in a low voice:

I want you to always be with me.

after all........

I am an unlucky person.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Sanhe Yuanliang's eyes, and he sighed, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and we'll go for a physical exam together."

After saying that, he pushed his wheelchair into the yard, looking at the neatly trimmed flowers and plants, seemingly lost in thought.

A short while later, Uchiha Tonan put on his ninja tool bag and set off.

As he passed by Mikawa Motoyoshi, he gave him his final instructions:

"Please keep the clothes that need washing separately, and I'll wash them all together when I get back."

After saying that, he strode out of the courtyard.

Mikoto Motoyoshi nodded, watching Uchiha Tonan's retreating figure, and pursed his lips.

Then, pushing the wheelchair forcefully, he chased after Uchiha Tonan, shouting:

"Kid, be careful."

If you don't understand anything, don't hesitate to ask your team leader.
