The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Uchiha Tonan raised an eyebrow slightly as he heard the system notification in his ear.

This was an unexpected bonus.

However, these people are mostly ordinary people and not very useful.

The only thing we can do is wait until they die and inherit some of their skills or something.

Uchiha Tonan coughed heavily and stretched out his hands forward and pressed down.

The thunderous shouts came to an abrupt halt.

Uchiha Tonan said with a serious expression:

"Northern City Guard, heed my command!"

"Your subordinate is here."

"Squad leader, step forward. Execute immediately."

More than a dozen squad leaders from the North City Guard stepped forward, drew their long swords, and came up behind the traffickers.

Seeing that they were about to die, the group of human traffickers began to frantically beg for mercy.

"Spare us...we don't deserve to die."

"We didn't kill anyone, so we shouldn't die according to the laws of the Land of Fire."

........

Uchiha Tonan snorted coldly and said righteously:

"Now they know to use the law to pressure me."

Make your move. I want to see who dares to cause me trouble after I kill you all.

To be an enemy of the masses is to be an enemy of me, Uchiha Tonan.

"Does anyone dare to go against the people?"

After Uchiha Tonan finished speaking, he glanced slightly at the leader of the Guardian Army, Kamikawa Daisora, who was rushing to the end of the street.

Suddenly, Shanghe Da Kong stopped in his tracks, his face unusually pale.

"My lord, what's wrong?" the confidant asked, looking puzzled.

Kamikawa Daisaku gave Uchiha Tonan a deep look, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go back."

He immediately led his guards back.

"Pfft~"

"Pfft~"

......

As human traffickers were hacked to death by the North City Guards, the surrounding crowd cheered with delight.

"Ding, I have gained the approval of Keigo Ishide."

"Ding, you have gained the approval of Matsuno Asami."

"Ding, you have gained Hanaya Megumi's approval."

......

After the execution was completed, the North City Guards began to clean up the bloodstains on the ground.

Uchiha Tonan waved to the enthusiastic crowd and used a Body Flicker Technique to return to his residence.

In a large room in the mansion, the rescued children huddled in a corner.

Many of them didn't know they had been rescued; they thought they had simply been moved to a different place for imprisonment.

They haven't dared to utter a sound since last night.

Even if they were hungry, they had to endure it.

One little girl even fainted from hunger.

squeak~

Uchiha Tonan pushed open the door to the room with a sunny smile.

He immediately spotted the little girl who had fainted from hunger on the ground.

He rushed to the little girl's side and hugged her tightly, his brows furrowed as he asked, "What happened?"

At this moment, Yoshihara Ao quickly came to Uchiha Tonan's side, bent down and replied, "My lord, he must have fainted from hunger."

"Snapped!"

Uchiha Tonan slapped Yoshihara Ao across the face with a backhand slap, roaring:

Why don't you prepare food for them?

Yoshihara Aoi immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head heavily, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, sir, this is my dereliction of duty."

Uchiha Tonan snorted coldly and waved his hand, saying:

"Your salary for one year will be confiscated. Now go and prepare some food."

Also, prepare bathwater and plenty of new clothes for them.

"Yes, sir." Yoshihara Ao quickly got up and ran outside.

Before long, a group of servants brought food into the room and placed it in front of each child.

The children all swallowed hard, staring warily at Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan used a spoon to scoop rice porridge and feed it to the little girl in his arms.

He said in a gentle tone:

"Eat up, don't be shy, there are no bad people here."

With me here, no one will bully you anymore.

Upon hearing this, the children immediately reached out and grabbed the food in front of them, stuffing it into their mouths.

Uchiha Tonan looked at them with a pained expression and said softly:

"Eat slowly, don't choke. Tell me what you want to eat next time."

A short while later, the little girl in my arms woke up slowly after being fed.

After receiving Uchiha Tonan's approval, he also grabbed food and stuffed it into his mouth.

[Chapter 81. Gathering Information by Personally Scrubbing the Body]

Half an hour later, the children were all full, and their faces were no longer as numb as before.

Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly, flicked the food crumbs from the little girl's mouth, and then said to the children:

"Come on, I'll take you to take a bath."

The children had by then lowered their guard against Uchiha Tonan and followed him into the mansion's bathroom.

Although it's called a bathroom, it's actually no smaller than a public bathhouse.

After all, Uchiha Tunan was the captain of the North City Guard, which was a minor official position in the Fire Capital.

A group of children soaking in the bathtub didn't feel crowded at all.

Given their young age, Uchiha Tonan did not separate the men and women.

These children were covered in filth, and as soon as they entered the water, they turned the pool black.

However, Uchiha Tonan didn't mind at all, since the water in the bath was running water anyway.

After a while, Uchiha Tonan felt that they had soaked long enough, so he called them up one by one and washed their bodies one by one.

As Uchiha Tonan applied foam to the little girl in front of him, he said with heartache, "Poor child, you're so dirty."

The little girl's lips trembled, her eyes filled with tears, and she weakly called out, "Adult..."

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly, gently flicked the little girl's forehead with his finger, and said with a doting expression, "You don't need to call me that, just call me Onii-san."

The sudden tenderness overwhelmed the little girl, who had been living in fear for days. She threw herself into Uchiha Tonan's arms, sobbing, "Onii-san~"

Uchiha Tonan smiled gently, patted the little girl's back lightly, and then said to the children in the pool:

"You can call me that from now on, just treat this place as your own home."

"Waaah..."

"Onii-san~"

"Onii-san~"

......

After washing the little girl's body, they rinsed her with clean water.

The water from rinsing inevitably splashed out, dripping onto the edge of the pool.

"Alright, let's soak a little longer. This water is from hot springs, it's good for your health."

Uchiha Tonan put the little girl into the pool, and then pulled out another little boy.

While applying the foam, he asked:

"May I have your name."

The little boy tried hard to search his memory, but found no clues.

He immediately shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly and said:

Don't you remember?

"It's alright, I'll find you a teacher in a few days to name you."

The little boy hesitated for a moment, then leaned in and kissed Uchiha Tunan on the cheek, saying weakly:

"Thank you, Onii-san~"

Although the little boy was still quite young, he genuinely liked the man in front of him who gave him a strong sense of security.
