The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Eat more when you're out, don't treat yourself badly.

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Tonan had already walked out of the courtyard.

......

The boundary at the village entrance.

Uchiha Tonan arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time.

Minato Namikaze and Kakashi had been waiting there for quite some time.

Kushina even took time out of her busy schedule to see the three of them off.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Uchiha Tonan bowed apologetically to the three of them.

Minato Namikaze chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Hahaha, I wasn't late, no need to apologize."

Kushina, hands on her hips, walked up to Uchiha Tonan, gave him a hard pat on the shoulder, and said in a carefree manner:

"Little Tunan, you don't need to be so polite with us, it makes you seem like a stranger."

Uchiha Tonan nodded obediently and said, "I'll be more careful next time, Kushina-senpai."

Kushina smiled slightly, trying her best to appear gentle and kind, and bowed slightly as she said:

"Xiao Tunan, have you packed everything you need for your trip?"

For example, kunai, shuriken, and soldier rations.

Uchiha Tonan adjusted his glasses and nodded, saying:

"If that's all, then everything should be ready."

Kushina straightened up, looked at the three of them with a mysterious expression, and took off the backpack behind her.

Then, in front of the three of them, he suddenly unzipped his jacket.

The contents inside immediately shocked Minato Namikaze.

"Ta-da! Look, this is the bento I made for you."

It takes at least two days to get to the Fire Temple from here. You can eat if you get hungry.

Minato Namikaze's lips twitched slightly, and he forced a smile, saying, "There's no need for such trouble."

Kakashi, on the other hand, took two steps back in horror.

Seeing the two's performance, Kushina's face instantly fell, like a volcano brimming with energy, ready to erupt at any moment.

"Do you guys think my bento boxes aren't tasty?"

"No, no," Minato Namikaze and Kakashi waved their hands repeatedly.

Kushina's cooking used to be too heavily seasoned.

However, ever since she met Uchiha Tonan, Kushina developed the habit of not adding salt to her food in order to cater to his preference for bland flavors.

But for Minato Namikaze and Kakashi, this was simply unpalatable.

Although the soldier's rations have no taste, they can be eaten in one bite.

These bento boxes, however, require you to chew them one bite at a time.

It has no taste, and I can't even swallow it.

Just as Kushina was about to unleash her power, Uchiha Tonan, with a look of joy on his face, clasped his hands together and said:

"Kushina-senpai prepared so many bento boxes for me? Thank you so much."

Kushina's anger vanished instantly. She glanced triumphantly at Minato Namikaze, zipped up her backpack, and stuffed it into Tonan Uchiha's arms.

"Tunan has the best eye for quality."

Minato Namikaze gave an awkward laugh and quickly changed the subject:

"It's getting late, let's register and set off."

And so, the three of them went to the village registration office, showed their mission orders and exit permits, and then left Konoha together.

Behind her, Kushina stood on tiptoe, waving goodbye repeatedly.

"Be careful and come back soon."

[Chapter 50. The Advisor Offers a Plan to Master Diwu]

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

at the same time.

Daimyofu, the Land of Wind.

The daimyo of the Land of Wind knelt behind a curtain, while his advisors knelt on either side.

"Breaking news: Master Jigo of the Fire Temple is going to the Hot Spring Temple to discuss Buddhism. What are your thoughts?" The daimyo's deep voice came from behind the curtain.

Below, an elderly man kneeling at the very front pondered for a moment before speaking:

"The situation is very bad."

What appears to be merely an exchange about Buddhist beliefs is in reality an olive branch extended by the Land of Fire to the Land of Hot Springs.

Daimyo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "Why do you say that, Mr. Miyaji?"

Gongsi narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his beard, saying, "This matter is just an interesting anecdote for ordinary people."

But for Buddhists, this is a rare Buddhist event.

Even if they have to crawl, they will crawl there.

Just as grains of sand can form a tower and drops of water can form a river, countless Buddhists exist throughout the Ninja World.

At that time, these Buddhists will flock to the area, and once there are more people, it will boost the economy.

If this debate is exciting enough and has a significant impact...

Even for many years to come, the area around Yunoji Temple will remain a place of pilgrimage.

If the Land of Fire provides even a little more assistance, the Land of Hot Springs will rapidly grow stronger.

Having tasted the benefits, they might actually gravitate completely towards the Land of Fire.

After listening to Miyaji's advice, the daimyo thought it over and found it increasingly reasonable, and sighed deeply, saying:

"At first I thought it was just a small matter and didn't think about it that much."

It seems that the relationship between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Fire is getting closer.

I heard this bad news first thing this morning.

I wonder if Mr. Miyaji has any good solutions.

Miyaji smiled inwardly, coughed lightly, and said, "Your Highness, in your opinion, who has a superior understanding of Buddhism, Master Jigo of the Fire Temple or the monks of the Hot Spring Temple?"

"Naturally, it is Master Diwu."

"I have a preliminary idea."

Gongsi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began to speak eloquently:

"Yuji Temple lost the Buddhist debate, resulting in a loss of face."

Then they sent someone to kill Master Diwu. Do you all think this reason is reasonable enough?

"This..." The group of advisors looked strange, unsure whether they should speak frankly.

Gongsi lowered his eyes slightly and chuckled softly:

"It seems unreasonable, but it doesn't matter."

Even the worst lie will have fools who believe it.

Especially those ignorant Buddhist followers.

The daimyo humbly inquired, "What does Mr. Miyadera mean...?"

Miyaji bowed towards the curtain and said, word by word, "May the venerable Master Jigo rest in eternal peace in the Land of Hot Springs."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young aide stood up and immediately retorted:

"I think Mr. Miyaji's plan is flawed. Such a low-level frame-up is obvious to anyone with eyes."

With one person taking the lead, other staff members who felt it was inappropriate also chimed in with their opinions.

With a confident and composed expression, Miyaji said slowly:

"Hehe, I am naturally aware that this plan has its flaws."

But once Diwu dies, Your Highness can send people to spread rumors.

The first story is that the monks of Yunoji Temple felt ashamed of their inferiority to Master Jigo's Buddhist scholarship, and thus harbored resentment, sending someone to assassinate Master Jigo.

As for the second rumor...

The Land of Lightning did not want to see the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Fire form an alliance, so they sent someone to assassinate Master Jigoku, thus damaging diplomatic relations between the two countries.

After Miyaji finished speaking, the daimyo and his advisors fell into deep thought.

Gongsi returned to his kneeling position and said slowly:

"If there were only the first rumor, probably not many people would believe it."

After all, when faced with rumors, a person will subconsciously choose whether to believe them or not.

But if a person is faced with two rumors, he will choose the one that seems more plausible and believe it without question.

Behind the curtain, the daimyo clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Hahaha... What a brilliant plan! This way, the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning can fight like dogs."

"Kaifeng, send someone to Sunagakure immediately to issue an S-rank mission."

"Wait a minute."

Gongsi immediately stopped him, saying:

"I believe that this is not a matter that Sunagakure should handle."

Instead, we should send someone to the underground bounty office to post bounty missions and let those rogue ninjas do them.

That way, even if someone wanted to investigate, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to the Land of Wind.
