The Master of Konoha's Legacy

The closer you get to the border of the Land of Fire, the taller the surrounding trees become.

It was nearing evening, and a thin mist began to rise in the forest. Everyone could even smell the moist, cool fragrance in the air.

Each step you take sinks slightly into the soil, indicating that a light rain had recently fallen.

Occasionally, there were one or two puddles of water around, reflecting the figures of Minato Namikaze and his entourage.

"Whoosh~"

Suddenly, several kunai shot out from the surrounding jungle.

"Watch out, enemy attack!"

Minato Namikaze reacted the fastest, taking out kunai to protect himself in front of Jigoku, and knocking away the incoming kunai one by one in a few moves.

Kakashi and Uchiha Tonan were equally prepared, surrounding Jigo firmly.

Minato Namikaze looked solemn, his ears twitched slightly, and he took out three kunai from his ninja tool pouch and threw them behind him.

"Clang, clang, clang~"

Three kunai were deeply embedded in the tree trunk.

The three ninjas who were originally standing on the branches of that big tree had already jumped away.

One of the ninjas, wearing a headband worn by a rogue ninja from Kumogakure, crossed his arms and said:

"Konoha's ninja squad, we want this old man's life."

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here."

There were rogue ninjas from Kumogakure, rogue ninjas from Kirigakure, and rogue ninjas from Iwagakure, too.

I wonder if Minato Namikaze can handle it.

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan had already activated his Sharingan, and outwardly he feigned a solemn expression.

"It seems you disagree."

A sinister smile appeared on the face of the rogue ninja from Kumogakure, and he said to the two people beside him:

"I'll take care of this blond-haired Jonin kid. You two can handle the rest."

Don't even think about keeping the bounty for yourself.

That rogue ninja from Iwagakure was also hot-tempered; he immediately formed hand seals and roared:

"Why say so much? Just kill them all."

Earth Escape, a technique involving the core of the earth's movement.

Rumble~

Uchiha Tonan and his group noticed the unusual ground beneath their feet and quickly leaped away.

The spot where everyone had just been standing had completely collapsed, becoming a bottomless pit.

Minato Namikaze pulled out a kunai and held it in his hand, saying in a deep voice:

"Kakashi, Tunan, you two take Master Jigo to a safe place first, I'll take these people."

Uchiha Tonan nodded, quickly hoisted Jigo onto his back, and then ran off into the distance with Kakashi.

Just as the rogue ninjas from Iwagakure and Kirigakure were about to pursue Uchiha Tonan and his group.

Suddenly, Minato Namikaze appeared on the tree trunk, wielding a kunai and fiercely stabbing at the rogue ninja from Iwagakure.

"Wow, that's fast! What kind of ninjutsu is that?"

The rogue ninja from Iwagakure's pupils contracted in shock at Minato Namikaze's speed, and he used a kunai to block the attack.

Seeing that his attack was blocked, Minato Namikaze was not in a hurry to launch a strong attack. In the next instant, he appeared behind the rogue ninja from Kumogakure.

"Damn it, they actually underestimated us."

The rogue ninja from Kumogakure roared, his right fist crackling with electricity as he slammed it down on Minato Namikaze.

"Oh!"

The tree was smashed to pieces.

However, just as the fist was about to strike Minato Namikaze, Minato Namikaze quickly appeared on the other side.

Then he quickly threw out several specially made kunai, which were scattered throughout the battlefield.

Whenever they are about to be attacked, or when someone tries to chase after Uchiha Tonan and his group, Minato Namikaze will immediately appear.

Left with no other choice, the three could only engage in a prolonged battle with Minato Namikaze.

.......

A moment later, Minato Namikaze spotted the opening left by the rogue ninja from Kirigakure, used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport behind him, and kicked out.

"Bang~"

Water splashed everywhere.

Oh no, it's a water clone.

Minato Namikaze was startled, but by then Kakashi and his group had already run quite a distance.

I can only deal with these two rogue ninjas as quickly as possible.

As for the other rogue ninja from Kirigakure, Kakashi and Uchiha Tonan are believed to be able to hold him off.

[Chapter 54: Silent Killing, Lone Battle Against the Traitorous Ninja]

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan and his two companions were rushing towards the distance.

Just another half hour's drive and we'll reach the small town on the border of the Land of Fire.

There are resident Konoha ninja there.

As he ran, Uchiha Tonan noticed a puddle of water beside the road ahead.

The chakra in that pool of water was far too conspicuous in Uchiha Tonan's eyes.

Just as the three of them were passing through the puddles.

Suddenly, a figure leaped out of the water, wielding a katana and slashing at Jigo on Uchiha Tonan's back.

Just as the katana was about to be aimed at Jisou's neck.

Kakashi reacted quickly, drawing his short blade to block the incoming katana.

He immediately snapped, "You go first."

Then the two began to fight.

Although Uchiha Tonan knew that it was impossible for Jigoku to be killed by a mere rogue ninja, he still secretly felt a pang of regret.

He ran off into the distance without looking back.

"Tunan, aren't you worried about your companions?" asked Jigo, who was perched on Uchiha Tunan's back, with a calm expression.

Uchiha Tonan paused for a moment, then calmly said, "Kakashi is very strong; he will definitely be able to defeat him."

If he really died, all Uchiha Tonan could do was sculpt a wooden statue of him and pray for him every day.

Diwu nodded and smiled slightly:

"Your strength should be even greater, after all, you have awakened the three-tomoe."

Sometimes, there's no need to hide your talents.

Uchiha Tonan's heart skipped a beat, but he said calmly, "Kakashi is very competitive."

Diwu pondered for a moment and said, "Is that so? You're quite considerate of your companions."

The two walked for about ten minutes, and the surrounding fog gradually thickened.

Through the vision of the nearby white pigeons, Uchiha Tonan spotted the rogue ninja from Kirigakure lying in wait ahead.

At this point, Uchiha Tonan no longer intended to hide from Jigo.

After all, others have already seen through me, and continuing to hide would make me look like a clown.

He immediately stopped and placed the object on a stone.

"Master Diwu, please take a rest."

Diwu smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

When Uchiha Tonan stood up, the surrounding fog had thickened into a milky white.

Silent killing technique, is it?

Uchiha Tonan's three-tomoe eyes darted around as he stared straight ahead.

"I love killing members of the Uchiha clan the most."

"The three-tomoe Sharingan, huh? But it's completely useless in the thick fog."

"I will personally gouge out your eyes and soak them in alcohol to drink."

In the thick fog, the rogue ninja from Kirigakure attempted to demoralize Uchiha Tonan with words.

However, he was unaware that his every move was being watched closely by Uchiha Tonan.

He looks exactly like a clown.

Guess where I am.

"Shu~"

Uchiha Tonan ducked to the side, dodging the katana that swept towards him from behind.

At the same time, Uchiha Tonan glanced sideways at the rogue ninja from Kirigakure behind him.

"Good luck, you dodged it."

The rogue ninja from Kirigakure gave a cruel smile and disappeared into the thick fog.

In the dense fog, the rogue ninjas of Kirigakure essentially possessed area-of-effect perception, enabling them to know the enemy's every move.

The surroundings were silent, and the warm, damp air kept pattering against Uchiha Tonan's skin, disturbing his senses.

The rogue ninjas of Kirigakure seemed to have transformed into wild beasts in a dark forest, coldly watching their prey.
