Konoha Hypocrite-Chapter 255.1: Handing Over Affairs, Riding The Wind

In the laboratory, Uchiha Tonan quickly stored various items in his ninja bag, and then without raising his head, he said, “I’m leaving for a while. Isan’s condition is stable now. He can be released in about four months.”

Hatake Kabuto stood at one side, and looking at Tonan who was walking back and forth in the room, he asked, “Tonan-san, are you going to be away for a long time this time?”

Tonan nodded his head and replied, “The duration of the trip is not certain, so I will try and explain everything as clearly as possible. The shadow clone has a distance limit, so you only have yourself to rely on. If you need any material to study or for research, just go look for Nara Shikaku and ask him.”

Kabuto stretched out his hand to rub his eye. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Got it, thank you, Tonan-san.”

Tonan turned his head to look at Kabuto. He then reached out and took off his gold-rimmed glasses. He walked over and put his glasses on Kabuto instead. The time for Tonan to transform into a strong powerhouse character was already here. These gold-rimmed glasses were no longer useful to him.

On the contrary, because of the high-intensity study during this time, Kabuto’s vision had become myopic. With these glasses, he also had the elegant and easy-going demeanor of Tonan.

Tonan patted Kabuto’s shoulder lightly and pointed to the wall of the room. He said, “That fellow outside has profound knowledge of the Ninja World. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask him. But I hope that you will resist the desire in your heart and will not be tricked into turning yourself into a puppet.”

“Things like puppets seem extremely powerful at first glance, but in fact, transforming into one is equivalent to solidifying all possibilities of the future. I’ll also teach you a technique. If the person outside loses control of himself, don’t hesitate to use it immediately. After that, don’t forget to take back the puppet parts. Those things are very precious. Don’t waste them.”

After speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Kabuto’s forehead. He then used the Mind Reading Technique to transmit a special technique into Kabuto’s mind. Tonan had always been used to keeping a few hidden cards in his hands.

When he made the regeneration core for Sasori, he left an explosive tag inside the core. In any case, once the regeneration core was made, Sasori was powerless to change it by himself. This was also a reason why Tonan was at ease with Sasori.

There was no such thing as friends in his mind. It was entirely because Sasori’s life was always in his hands. Therefore, he didn’t need to worry about him jumping around. But now that he was leaving, what if Sasori went crazy in the Leaf base camp after learning that he had killed most of the Suna ninjas?

The strength of the Leaf ninjas in the camp alone was not enough to stop Sasori. If something were to go wrong, since he was the one who brought Sasori back, he would be the one to shoulder the blame. Therefore, to take the necessary precaution, it was important for Kabuto to know the technique.

After a long time, Kabuto opened his eyes and solemnly looked at Tonan. He said, “I understand, then I’ll start to refine chakra immediately to ensure that I can activate this technique at any time.”

Tonan narrowed his eyes and smiled. He said in a gentle tone, “I like smart people. As long as you are obedient, most of the things in this world will be at your fingertips. I can fulfill all your desires, that is as long as you are loyal to me. Otherwise…”

As his words fell, his palm covered Kabuto’s silverish-grey hair and he activated the Cultivation Curse. In an instant, Kabuto’s eyes widened. He collapsed to the ground and curled up. The veins were bulging on his forehead and he was sweating profusely.

“Oh…”

Seeing Kabuto endure the pain, Tonan was quite satisfied with the boy’s perseverance. Immediately afterward, the corners of his mouth curled up. He pointed at a white pigeon that was combing its feather with its beak in a corner of the laboratory. “I’m leaving now. If something happens, you can tell it.”

Once he was done with all that he had to say, ignoring Kabuto who was struggling on the ground, Tonan left the room. After passing through several rooms all the way, he arrived outside Sasori’s room. Hearing footsteps, Sasori turned his head and looked at Tonan.

Soon after that, his gaze moved to the bulging ninja bag around Tonan’s waist, and indifferently asked, “Tonan-kun, are you leaving?”

Tonan also nodded his head indifferently and replied, “Cloud Battlefront needs me. I hope you’ve improved more when we meet next time.” Hearing Tonan’s words, Sasori nodded his head and got up. He walked to a corner of the room and picked up a scroll. Handing it over to Tonan, he said, “This is the fruit of my latest research. Knowledge must be shared.”

Tonan too was not formal. He took the scroll without any hesitation and smiled gently at Sasori, “Many thanks.” He then turned around and left the laboratory. At this moment, it was still late at night. The moon was almost as round as a silver plate and the sky was also clear.

The Konoha base camp was completely silent. Tonan’s figure flashed a few times and disappeared outside the laboratory. And above the forest, a black shadow quickly passed through the top of the densely packed trees.

In a blink of an eye, he was already far away from the Konoha base camp.

Roar… A strange beast roar could be heard. Then, a huge golden bird sprang out from the forest and Tonan jumped and landed lightly on its back. Just like this, the huge golden bird took Tonan into the sky and flew towards the Cloud battlefront at a high speed.

High in the sky, the bone-chilling cold wind hit his face. It also made his black windbreaker flutter. “There are new crops to be harvested. I feel so happy.”
