Two days later, late at night, silence reigned supreme. In a dark forest, dozens of miles away from Konoha, the night sky appeared especially boundless, and the bright moon hung high like a silver plate in the cloudless sky. The stars twinkled quietly in the distance but cautiously faded farther deep into the space. The bone-chilling northern wind whistled through …

Only now, everyone began to understand the strength of the youth on the cliff from the bottom of their hearts. All of them couldn’t help correcting their expressions, and their gazes looking at Tonan became more radiant. In the Uchiha clan, other than the special status such as the Patriarch or the Great Elder, everyone subconsciously respected strength. They began …

It was still afternoon when Uchiha Tonan walked alone on the street after leaving the Hokage Office. Even though the snow was falling, the commercial streets were filled with people going about their daily activities. Tonan did not have the air of ninjas. He squatted on the roadside and skillfully bargained with the vendors. After a series of back and …

Just after the four of them left the meeting room, they noticed a person standing by the window in the corridor. The person was wearing a white windbreaker, and his slender figure was thin but elegant. He was looking at the scenery outside the window with his hands behind his back as if he was observing something. This was the …

Sarutobi Hiruzen was beginning to feel angry. In a meeting at the Hokage Office, he looked straight at Shimura Danzo and said, “Anyone else is fine, but not Tonan. Both Shinnosuke and Asuma are dead. Do you want me to send my disciple to risk his life as well?” Seeing the atmosphere tense, Mitokado Homura said in a low voice, …

After dinner, together with Uchiha Tonan, everyone chatted with the elderly living in the Sunset Building to break their otherwise monotonous routines. For some time, the welfare institution looked lively. As careful as he was, Tonan didn’t let people come often to visit these elderly people. He would request Sarutobi Hiruzen to let the Ninja Academy students come over and …

Knock, knock, knock… Uchiha Tonan was immersed deep in the worries about Konoha’s future when his sighs were interrupted by a knock at the welfare institution’s door. He walked over to open it and was greeted by a group of familiar faces. The people who had come were Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, and Nohara Rin. The …

After a while, the white light dissipated, and Terachi was half-kneeling in front of the old woman. The Buddha image behind him had stretched out thousands of arms, protecting him, the old woman, and Naoko’s corpse. The motionless King Ming had become very illusory after suffering this bombardment. It looked like it would collapse and dissipate at any time. Pop, …

After being momentarily shocked, Terachi had the look of facing death with equanimity. He crouched and clapped his hands together. His emaciated body instantly filled up and his muscles bulged. The loose monk robe ripped because of bulging muscles, flying all around. Terachi’s eyes became round, and his eyeballs were protruding, filled with blood. Because of exerting himself excessively, his …

“Are you going to bury them here, evil-hearted ninja youth?” Suddenly, an old voice came from behind Uchiha Tonan. He got up and looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers around and nodded with satisfaction. He then leisurely replied, “Yes, the mountains and rivers are beautiful here. It’s a very good place to bury the dead.” “Then why didn’t you …
