The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"When you leave, have someone clean this place up; it's too bloody."

"Yes......."

[Chapter 86. The Cruel Torture of Classroom Lessons]

Early the next morning.

Uchiha Tonan transformed into the appearance of Abe no Seimei and arrived at the Daimyo's residence.

Looking at the magnificent Daimyo mansion, Uchiha Tonan put his hands behind his back and slowly walked in.

“Mr. Seimei, please come with me.”

The guards outside the mansion had already received the notification and led Uchiha Tonan to the mansion's private school.

At this time, the eldest prince and the second prince had not yet arrived.

"Sir, please have some tea here and wait a moment."

Uchiha Tonan sat down, took a sip of tea, and instructed the servant:

"I need a whip, a rope, a stake, cold water, a candle, and a sword."

The servant was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, wondering what the old man wanted these things for.

But he didn't ask any more questions, and simply nodded and replied, "Okay."

The servants quickly brought these items and, as instructed, planted the stakes in the courtyard, while the other items were placed in the corridor outside the school.

About half an hour later, the First Prince and the Second Prince walked into the school together.

Along the way, the Second Prince played around, looking at this and touching that, showing almost no interest in going to school.

On the contrary, His Highness seemed much more sensible.

Upon entering, the Second Prince gave a perfunctory smile to Uchiha Tonan, who was sitting upright with his eyes closed in meditation, before casually walking over and sitting down.

His Highness stood respectfully at the doorway, bowed deeply to Uchiha Tonan, and said:

"Teacher Jingming."

Uchiha Tonan nodded slightly in return for the courtesy.

The Crown Prince then walked to his seat and sat down properly.

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan opened his eyes and said slowly:

"From now on, I will give lectures for three hours every day, and then spend one hour testing you."

Class is starting now, so listen carefully.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Tonan began to speak at length.

The prince below listened intently, sometimes frowning and sometimes nodding slightly.

As for the Second Prince, drool was already dripping from the corner of his mouth onto the table.

.......

Time passed quickly, the explanation was finished, and Uchiha Tonan handed out the two test papers, indicating that they could begin answering.

The prince picked up his pen, recalled what Uchiha Tonan had just said, added his own understanding, and began to write it down diligently.

The Second Prince's drool gradually soaked the exam paper...

An hour later, Uchiha Tonan looked at the blinding sunlight outside; it was already noon.

He got up, went between the two of them, and put the exam papers away.

Perhaps Uchiha Tonan's movements were a bit too loud, because the Second Prince sat up with a blank expression and wiped the liquid from the corner of his mouth.

"Is get out of class over?"

Back on the stage, Uchiha Tonan put the Second Prince's blank exam paper aside and picked up the First Prince's exam paper to look at.

While watching, he said:

"Your Highness, you may go back and rest now."

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince got up and left the school.

"As for Your Highness..."

Uchiha Tonan's face darkened, and he raised the test paper in his hand, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

He then crumpled the exam paper into a ball and slammed it down on the throne.

"Look at what you answered! It's utter nonsense. Even a three-year-old could answer better than you."

The prince stared blankly at the furious Uchiha Tonan, not understanding why his teacher was so angry.

I was very serious about answering the questions, and all my answers were written down after careful consideration.

But he was always honest and polite, and faced with Uchiha Tonan's challenge, he could only stammer, "Seimei... Sensei... I..."

Uchiha Tonan took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the anger in his heart.

Then he pointed to the wooden stakes in the courtyard outside the school and said with a serious expression:

"Take off your shirt and stand with your back against the wooden stake."

The prince hesitated for a moment, then took off his clothes and went to the courtyard, where he stood with his back against a wooden stake.

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan picked up a rope and tied the prince to a pillar.

The hard, rough ropes binding the prince made him very uncomfortable.

Moreover, Uchiha Tonan was tied up very tightly, so tightly that he could hardly breathe.

"Teacher Qingming, why did you tie me up?"

The prince was completely unable to move, and a sudden chill ran through him.

Uchiha Tonan then picked up the whip and sneered:

"If you don't study hard, you'll suffer some physical pain."

"Snapped!"

"what!"

"Snapped!"

.....

"help me!"

Uchiha Tonan struck hard, the thick whip lashing the prince's body repeatedly, causing him excruciating pain.

Anyone would find it unbearable to be whipped like that, let alone the pampered Crown Prince.

"Hmph, the daimyo instructed me that if you don't study properly, I can punish you as I please."

"Why? I at least finished answering all the questions, but Naohara handed in a blank paper. Why am I the one being punished?"

The prince was in pain and felt wronged, as he felt that Uchiha Tonan was targeting him.

"You dare to talk back? Today I'll teach you what it means to respect your teacher."

"Snapped!"

.....

Uchiha Tonan whipped the prince for a full half hour before reluctantly throwing down the whip.

"Remember, be at school at four o'clock sharp tomorrow morning."

The midday sun was scorching, and after the ordeal he had just endured, the prince's face was pale and his body was drenched in sweat.

The sweat dripping onto the wound caused him excruciating pain.

"Yes..." After answering, the Crown Prince fainted.

Uchiha Tonan glanced at him, then went to the courtyard outside the school and beckoned a servant, giving the order:

"Let's take His Highness back to rest."

The attendants had actually heard the prince's wails long ago.

However, the daimyo had previously given an order that they could not set foot in the schoolyard without Uchiha Tonan's command.

As for the safety of the princes, they need not worry about it, since there are guardians protecting them in secret.

Upon hearing Uchiha Tonan's instructions, he quickly put down the prince, who had been beaten and left with his skin torn and bleeding, and helped him away.

The next day, at four o'clock in the morning.

Shinnosuke remained hidden in the shadows, gazing idly at the stars in the sky.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps reached Shinnosuke's ears.

Shinnosuke immediately became alert and looked in the direction from which the footsteps came, where he saw Uchiha Tonan disguised as Abe no Seimei.

"Is this His Highness's teacher, Master Seimei...?"

Remembering the daimyo's special instructions to everyone in the manor, Shinnosuke did not show himself.

Uchiha Tonan went straight to the Crown Prince's residence and kicked the door open.

Startled, the sleeping prince tumbled off the bed with a thud, his head hitting the floor and making him dizzy.

Do you know what time it is?

Disobeying one's master's orders deserves punishment.

Uchiha Tonan grabbed the prince, who was only wearing underwear, and dragged him all the way to the small courtyard outside the school.

Then, skillfully, he used ropes to tightly bind the prince to the wooden stake.

"If you like to sleep in, you can sleep here."

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan picked up the bucket and poured a basin of cold water on the prince.

Yesterday, His Highness was already tortured by Uchiha Tonan, and now he's been drenched in this bucket of water. Anyone would find it unbearable.

The prince was jolted awake by the drenching rain, and upon looking at the white-haired old man before him, his lips began to tremble.

At the same time, Uchiha Tonan took a sword and a candle from the corner of the corridor and stuck the sword and its sheath into the soil.
