The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Suddenly, Uchiha Tonan appeared behind Kakashi, attempting to ambush him, but Kakashi blocked the attack.

Uchiha Tonan, who was originally rushing towards Kakashi, had already touched Kakashi with his kunai, and the next second he turned into a cloud of white mist.

Only one piece of wood remained lying on the ground.

Naoto Umino was astonished by what he saw and said in disbelief:

"While casting the clone technique, the original body has already cast the substitution technique to change positions."

He also used a transformation technique to turn the substitute wood into the shape of a kunai.

This is a tactic only a graduate could pull off, and even then, only a top graduate would do it.

Uchiha Tonan's attack failed, so he distanced himself from Kakashi and immediately began forming hand seals, his hands becoming a blur of afterimages.

Kakashi, of course, wouldn't let Uchiha Tonan release his ninjutsu. After throwing out several cross-shaped shuriken, he also formed hand seals.

Uchiha Tunan's expression remained unchanged, his hand seals still in place, and his Sharingan clearly saw the trajectory of the cross-shaped shuriken.

Uchiha Tonan did not move his feet, but his body and head swayed continuously, dodging all the cross-shaped darts with perfect accuracy.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

A blazing fireball erupted and hurtled towards Kakashi.

Kakashi had finished his hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground.

"Earth Escape Technique, Earth Flow Wall Technique."

The fireball struck the earthen wall, but achieved nothing.

Uchiha Tonan swayed, pretending to be out of chakra.

Then he leaped away, dodging the hand that shot out from the ground.

Kakashi, seeing that his sneak attack had failed, also crawled out of the ground.

"Genius! I never expected Uchiha Tonan to be a genius. What a pleasant surprise!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the scene in the crystal ball, a hint of joy in his eyes, and then said in a deep voice:

"The Dark Division".

"Lord Hokage."

"Go investigate Uchiha Tonan, and remember not to expose yourself."

"Yes."

On the playground, Kakashi stood calmly in place, not launching another attack, but instead said indifferently:

"Tu Nan, do you still want to continue? The Sharingan is indeed very strong, but your chakra should have been exhausted."

Uchiha Tonan gasped for breath, as if he were completely exhausted, and gave a bitter smile.

He put away his kunai, placed his hands on his knees, and bowed to Kakashi, saying:

"I didn't expect you to be so strong, Kakashi. It seems I'll have to work twice as hard to catch up with you."

Seeing this, Kakashi also put away his kunai, resumed his usual lazy demeanor, and walked into the crowd.

Although Uchiha Tonan still has some energy left, he has already demonstrated his potential value today, and the goal has been achieved.

If he were to actually defeat Kakashi, it wouldn't be potential that would be demonstrated, but rather his actual strength.

After all, it's a bit exaggerated to have such powerful strength right after awakening the Sharingan.

The best approach is to be able to hold your own against Kakashi for a while, and then suffer a narrow defeat.

"Kakashi won this sparring match, but Tunan also performed very well."

Kakashi's rating is A+, and Tunan's rating is A.

You two should rest in the shade first.

Naoto Umino had a smile on his face, clearly extremely satisfied with the performance of the two.

Kakashi goes without saying; he's the village's undisputed genius.

Naoto Umino, as a teacher, has always had a good impression of the polite and diligent Uchiha Tonan.

Now that Uchiha Tonan has demonstrated exceptional ninja talent, Naoto Umino finds him increasingly pleasing to the eye.

Half an hour later, in the Hokage's office.

The figure from the Anbu appeared in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Lord Hokage, I have just investigated Uchiha Tonan's background and also searched his house."

"Hmm, is there anything unusual?"

"There is nothing unusual about my background and experiences. I am a genuine member of the Uchiha clan. My father is Uchiha Kotobuki, and my mother is Uchiha Nanako."

Both of them used to belong to the Konoha Police Force and recently volunteered to go to the front lines.

In addition, a large number of ninja books purchased from a bookstore were found in Uchiha Tonan's house, which were placed in a drawer.

Books about the deeds of the Hokage of each generation are placed on the bedside table, and there is also a copy of The Will of Fire personally signed by the Hokage on the living room table.

My subordinates also found Uchiha Tonan's diary.

After reporting, the Anbu handed Uchiha Tonan's diary to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

[Chapter 7: Diary Contributions, Clash of the Best Actor]

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the diary and opened it.

Upon reading it, Hiruzen Sarutobi was immediately captivated by the words in the diary, becoming completely engrossed and unable to extricate himself.

This damn, visible Will of Fire.

These diaries were started at the end of last semester.

July 1st.

Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly remembered that it was the day he went to the Ninja Academy to preach about the Will of Fire.

Uchiha Tonan's behavior offstage also caught his attention.

I never expected that this little guy would have so many unique insights after just listening to one speech.

Many of these insights were things I hadn't even considered myself.

Furthermore, judging from the contents of the diary, his status as Hokage was clearly higher than that of his parents and clansmen.

In a diary entry, over 90% of the content is about oneself.

The details about his parents and relatives were mostly mentioned only briefly.

This child is only six years old and has already awakened the Sharingan, and can even briefly spar with Kakashi.

He is already a rare genius.

With a little nurturing and occasional personal instillation of the Will of Fire, it's possible to achieve this.

They will surely become my confidants in the future.

I reckon that once the child grows up, he wouldn't disobey even if I told him to personally wipe out the Uchiha clan.

He's one of our own, we should nurture him and protect him well.

With this in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already come to regard Uchiha Tonan as one of his own.

“This little guy is someone who can inherit the Will of Fire. Do you think he needs any help right now?”

The Anbu members were all shrewd individuals. Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's question, they immediately knew that Hiruzen was planning to cultivate and win over Uchiha Tonan, and promptly replied:

"I have investigated and found that Uchiha Tonan's parents left him a lot of money when they left."

However, it seems that he spent most of his money on many unnecessary books.

"Subordinates" refers to the ninja books kept in the cabinet.

He probably doesn't have enough money to cover his normal living expenses right now.

My subordinate opened his refrigerator; it only contained vegetables, no meat.

If this continues, malnutrition is very likely.

Are you short of money...?

That makes sense. Before he awakened his Sharingan, his ninjutsu and taijutsu were at the bottom, and he was determined to become stronger.

It's normal to buy a lot of ninja books, but this kid probably only realized after reading them that they couldn't improve his strength at all.

Consider it a lesson learned at a cost.

However, since they are our own people, we can't treat them unfairly.

This is also a good opportunity to get closer to each other.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction and handed the diary to the Anbu, saying:

"Very good, it seems you are very careful. Return the diary to that little guy."

Don't let anyone know you were there.

"Yes."

The next second, the figures of the Dark Division disappeared.

The next day, Uchiha Tonan was in class.

Outside the classroom, a ninja teacher called Naoto Umino, who was giving the lecture, out and said a few words to him.

Naoto Umino immediately returned to the classroom and said to Tonan Uchiha, "Tonan, someone is looking for you in the classroom office."

Uchiha Tonan nodded, got up and left the classroom, following the ninja teacher to the classroom office.

Walking down the corridor, Uchiha Tonan had a general idea of ​​who was looking for him.

After all, he didn't know anyone in Konoha Village except his classmates and clansmen.

It's impossible for classmates, and as for clansmen, we can talk about it when I get home.

Furthermore, the system did not notify him of his parents' death, nor did it cause any family members to come to the school to look for him.

So, obviously, the only people who can find you are from the third generation.
