The Master of Konoha's Legacy

In that case, the mission might not fail, and I'll still have time to take things slowly.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly, got up, lifted the steaming teapot off the gas stove, and returned to the table.

[Chapter 63. Assassination in the Rainy Night, Escape to the Mountains]

Just as Uchiha Tonan was contemplating whether to strike first and eliminate the other two,

Suddenly, from the perspective of a white dove.

Uchiha Tonan saw the two simply greet the people stationed in the town and then sneak away from the town.

Uchiha Tunan's lips curled slightly as he poured the brewed tea into a teacup and took a small sip.

As if recalling something amusing, she chuckled softly and murmured:

"Isn't it good to live a peaceful life? Why do you have to provoke me?"

I walk the sunny road, you cross your Bridge of Helplessness.

"Isn't it fine?"

Time passed little by little.

As darkness fell, the townspeople returned home to rest.

Only a few dim streetlights illuminated the darkness on the street outside.

A short while later, a light rain began to fall.

Because this place is near the Land of Rain, it often drizzles.

The light rain, like sticky spider silk, wove a soft net that enveloped the entire town.

Under the veil of rain, the town was silent, the chirping of insects and birds had all disappeared, as quiet as a graveyard.

At that moment, two dark figures appeared silently on the edge of the town.

"Have they entered the range of perception?"

"I sensed it. He's in that hotel, probably on the second floor."

"This kid's illusion magic is quite impressive."

Just to be on the safe side, we'll close our eyes the moment he activates his Sharingan during the battle.

As long as you avoid eye contact with him, he can't do anything about it.

The two exchanged a glance and then slipped into the town.

As for the soldiers and low-ranking ninjas guarding the town, they naturally couldn't find their traces.

Rumble~

As thunder rumbled, a thin curtain of rain suddenly stretched out and poured down on the earth.

The corridor on the second floor of the hotel was originally pitch black.

Streaks of lightning rolled through the dark clouds.

The corridor was illuminated in a way that made it appear to be constantly changing between light and shadow.

Two humanoid shadows could be vaguely seen hanging upside down on the ceiling, located at opposite ends of the corridor.

Yoshida Taro formed hand seals, sensing the exact location of Uchiha Tonan.

The two of them walked quietly from both ends of the corridor toward the middle, their feet resting on the ceiling.

The sound of rain blended together, drowning out the sound of people sleeping soundly in the hotel room.

The two walked step by step to the door of a room, then turned around at the same time to face the door.

Taro Yoshida gave Kazuki Kamiya a wink.

The two of them simultaneously and slowly drew their katanas.

Kamiya Kazuki stretched out his left hand and gently pressed it against the door.

next moment.

"Oh!"

The door shattered, and the inside was pitch black.

The two transformed into shadows and rushed inside.

Uchiha Tonan, who was fast asleep on the bed, was suddenly startled and quickly sat up.

Then he glared at the two of them and activated his Sharingan.

At that moment, both of them closed their eyes simultaneously.

"It's you guys!" Uchiha Tonan exclaimed in surprise.

Kamiya Ichiki and Yoshida Taro didn't care about anything else and fiercely stabbed in the direction where Uchiha Tonan had spoken, wielding their katanas.

"Boom."

Uchiha Tonan turned into a wisp of smoke.

The two realized something was wrong, and Yoshida Taro quickly used his sensory ninjutsu.

He immediately frowned and said:

"That was a shadow clone. There's no one in the room. Wait for me."

Taro Yoshida began to increase the range of his perception.

Clang!

Just then, the sound of a trash can being knocked over came from downstairs.

The two opened their eyes at the same time, and Kamiya Ichiki quickly went to the window and looked down.

Uchiha Tonan was seen scrambling and crawling away into the distance through the rain.

"Chase!"

The two leaped out of the window; one dragged a katana and chased after the other along the street, while the other leaped repeatedly across the rooftops of the town.

"Help! Enemy attack!"

Uchiha Tonan shouted as he ran, each step slamming heavily on the ground and splashing water high into the air.

As Uchiha Tonan shouted, the quiet town seemed to be awakened from its slumber.

In the densely populated residential area, lights came on one after another in every window.

"You wretched brat."

Kamiya Ichiki cursed under his breath and nodded toward Yoshida Taro on the roof.

Yoshida Taro understood, sheathed his katana, and quickly formed hand seals.

At this moment, Kamiya Ichiki also jumped onto the roof, reached out and placed his hand on Yoshida Taro, transferring chakra to him.

"The art of Nirvana Abode".

White feathers appeared in the sky and fell to the ground.

These feathers, seemingly illusory, disregarded the barriers of houses and fell into every household.

The town's residents and the stationed ninja were all hypnotized by genjutsu.

Because the range of the technique was too large, both Kamiya Ichiki and Yoshida Taro consumed more than half of their chakra.

But this was not the time to rest, because Uchiha Tonan had already left the town and was running towards the mountain peak not far away.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, the two decided to disregard their energy expenditure and repeatedly used the Body Flicker Technique to accelerate during the pursuit.

To their shock, Uchiha Tonan had somehow also learned the Body Flicker Technique.

Whenever the distance closes, they use the Instant Transmission technique to create distance.

Rumble~

An angry clap of thunder echoed through the mountains, reverberating endlessly, like ten thousand drums beating in unison.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of rain turned into a continuous roar, as if the sky had opened up in countless places, and the torrential rain gathered into a waterfall, pouring down on the earth.

"Cuckoo~"

"Cuckoo~"

The mournful cries of birds echoed through the mountains and forests, sending chills down one's spine.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

As time passed, the soil in the mountains and forests was washed away by rainwater and turned into mud.

Uchiha Tonan ran frantically, his feet sinking deep into the mud, glancing back every now and then with a look of terror and horror on his face.

Kamiya Ichiki and Yoshida Taro, each wielding a katana, leaped between tree branches.

They were only wet from the rain, not a speck of mud on them.

The two were closing the distance to Uchiha Tonan at a visible speed.

After all, Uchiha Tonan was just a Chunin, and the number of times he could use the Body Flicker Technique was already the limit.

In their eyes, Uchiha Tonan was now like meat on a chopping board, completely at their mercy.

"Thump~"

Perhaps because the ground was too slippery, Uchiha Tonan accidentally slipped and fell into the mud.

He was covered in mud and water from head to toe, looking utterly miserable.

But in this life-or-death crisis, Uchiha Tonan couldn't care less about anything else. He used all four limbs to get up from the mud and continued running forward.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tonan slammed on the brakes and came to a stop, narrowly avoiding a collision.

There was no way forward; it was a sheer cliff.

Uchiha Tonan didn't dare to think too much or linger, and ran off in the other direction.

After running only a few steps, Uchiha Tonan stopped, his face filled with despair.

On the large tree directly in front of him, Kamiya Ichiki and Yoshida Taro stood coldly watching him, each holding a katana.
