The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Upon hearing the words "inherit the great name," the prince unconsciously straightened his back.

Uchiha Tonan glanced at him, then suddenly sighed and said:

"Unfortunately, your father didn't think that way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince's eyes, sharp as daggers, flew towards Uchiha Tonan, staring directly at him:

"What do you mean."

Uchiha Tonan stroked his beard lightly and said calmly:

"I have a unique skill in observing qi; all things in heaven and earth possess qi."

And you, there's a hint of crape myrtle's beauty in your brows.

"The Qi of Ziwei?" The Crown Prince was slightly taken aback, waiting for the other party to continue.

Uchiha Tonan nodded and said:

"The Purple Star is the most central star in the sky, surrounded by a host of other stars. I call it the Emperor Star."

If you can become a great name, you might be able to sweep across the eight wastelands, unify the six directions, and reign supreme over the world.

Unfortunately, His Highness favors the Second Prince and wants to pass the position to him.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and slowly shook his head, saying, "I don't believe it."

Anyone with eyes can see that he is far superior to his younger brother, who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun.

He couldn't believe that his usually wise father would be so foolish.

Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly as he leisurely said:

"Didn't you notice?"

No matter what the Second Prince does, the Great Prince will not punish him severely.

This is enough to show the daimyo's doting affection for the second prince.

Why am I so cruel to you? Even His Highness doesn't stand up for you.

Aren't you surprised that I dare not treat the Second Prince in this way?

"Because I know that if I touch the Second Prince, my head will be in danger tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince was startled and thought about it carefully.

However, it turned out that what Uchiha Tonan said seemed to be true.

These past few days, he's been injured so badly, yet his father still ignores him completely.

Moreover, he heard from the servants that his second brother would go to their father's place every day after school.

His father would take him with him whether he was eating or handling political affairs.

Isn't this just like a handover of work...?

His eyes immediately filled with panic, and he shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Impossible...impossible..."

Seeing that the Crown Prince had lost his composure, Uchiha Tonan knew that the fish had taken the bait, and said in a seductive tone:

"There is still a chance. I admire you and am willing to pass on all my knowledge to you."

Do you still remember the strategies I taught you before?

The prince nodded slightly and said, "I remember."

"In fact... the strategy of diplomacy can control many major events."

A glint flashed in the prince's eyes, and he murmured:

"The heart of the ruler... the heart of the ministers... the heart of the people..."

Rulers...elite class...people...

"If I can gain the support of two of these forces, I will surely be able to ascend to the throne as daimyo."

Uchiha Tonan nodded approvingly and said, "That's right, this is what you call the inevitable trend."

However, the next moment, the prince's eyes narrowed, and he said firmly, "No... you're lying to me."

This guy looks honest, but he's not that easy to fool...

However, the seeds of doubt have already been sown; we just need to wait for them to sprout.

Uchiha Tonan said calmly, "Whether I'm lying to you or not, you'll find out in a while."

His Highness is not far from abdicating, and his long-hidden favoritism is now blatantly obvious.

From now on, I will spend an hour each day teaching you different content.

Listen carefully, what I'm about to teach you is called the Art of Emperorship.

After finishing speaking, Uchiha Tonan's expression turned serious, and he slowly recounted in a weathered tone:

"With his majesty extending to all directions and all under heaven submitting to him, he becomes the emperor."

"The emperor is lonely and widowed..."

........

That evening, at the North City Guard's residence.

Uchiha Tonan, dressed in a bathrobe, sat at his desk, reading a book titled "Economic Strategies".

"Come in."

Uchiha Tonan sensed the person outside through the wind whispers, but his eyes remained fixed on the book in his hands.

Yoshihara Ao cautiously approached Uchiha Tonan and bowed, saying:

"My lord, the task you assigned has been completed."

Our people have a clear understanding of all the illegal casinos, brothels, smuggling dens, and gang hideouts in the area.

Uchiha Tonan nodded, taking a sip of tea while reading his book, and said:

"Didn't they notice?"

"They noticed, but I had already given orders for the city guards to accept their tribute."

“Well done. Now assemble the team. I’m going to uproot them completely.”

"Yes."

Uchiha Tonan knew that he wouldn't be able to stay in the City of Fire for very long.

We need to make a killing before we leave.

Why wouldn't you do something that brings both fame and fortune?

The current plan has been going smoothly.

If nothing goes wrong, one can acquire a great deal of wealth and even secretly control the power of a nation.

And it can also take care of Shinnosuke, and... Asuma.

Hiruzen Sarutobi... Don't you like to take advantage of others when they're in trouble?

Then I'll play with you.

Let's see who can beat whom.

[Chapter 89. A net worth of 600 million is intolerable]

That night, Uchiha Tonan led a group of North City Guard members to wipe out all the underground organizations, large and small, in the entire North City outer jurisdiction.

In order to acquire a large amount of money in a short period of time, Uchiha Tonan had no choice but to resort to double-crossing.

Uchiha Tonan roughly estimated that he had gained nearly 300 million in assets from this trip.

The next morning, the streets outside the North City Guard were filled with members of the underground organization kneeling.

Uchiha Tonan's shadow clone delivered another impassioned speech.

They vehemently criticized the crimes of these prisoners, and in some places even embellished the story.

The major crimes need no further explanation.

Minor crimes should be described in detail and embellished, in any way that makes the people around feel indignant.

Regardless of whether these people deserved to die according to the laws of the Land of Fire, they were all slaughtered by Uchiha Tonan.

We have no choice but to kill them.

Their wealth was secretly taken away by Uchiha Tonan, and if judged according to the rules, this property would be confiscated.

Many ordinary people witnessed this scene.

Over the years, they had all been exploited and bullied by these underground organizations to varying degrees, so they naturally applauded and celebrated seeing them finally brought to justice.

In no time, Uchiha Tonan's name resounded throughout the entire Fire City, and everyone knew him.

He immediately gained a lot of approval.

Uchiha Tonan's wealth has now accumulated to nearly 600 million, and he has achieved one of his small goals in the City of Fire.

For a period of time thereafter.

Every morning, Uchiha Tonan would go to give lessons to the two princes on time.

And they would find every opportunity and reason to verbally abuse the prince.

The daimyo also followed Uchiha Tonan's advice and kept the Second Prince by his side at all times, showing him concern and letting him play around as he pleased.

Over time, these circumstances came to the attention of those who were interested.

Soon, the entire Daming Prefecture and even the elite class were secretly discussing this situation.

"Recently, the lord has been treating the Second Prince so well. I have a feeling that the lord is inclined to pass the throne to the Second Prince."

"No way, let's not even talk about the tradition of favoring the eldest son over the youngest."

In terms of personality and character alone, the First Prince is far superior to the Second Prince.

"But you haven't found a key point."

Although His Highness is calm and composed, he appears somewhat dull.
