Konoha Hypocrite (Part-1)

Chapter 175: Triple Happiness, Truth Mirroring Eyes

Uchiha Tonan put on a panic-stricken look. "Everyone, get up, please. Whatever the case may be, you are all my seniors and elders. How can this be alright?"

As he was speaking, he was also pulling up the villagers one by one beginning with the person nearest to him. He appeared flustered as if he would join them in kneeling in the next second.

Supporting the villagers' stand up, Tonan said in his sincere-most tone, "Protecting everyone in the village is my duty as a ninja. This is what I must do. You don't know ninjutsu and you were deceived by bad people. That's not on you. It can only be said that the immoral are too cunning."

"Auntie, you are pregnant. This cannot be good for the baby. Please don't kneel."

Seeing Tonan's generosity and compassion, everyone's heart was filled with a mix of guilt and gratitude. At this moment, all his past good deeds flashed in their minds. In the past, they had just heard the stories but now, they could see his excellent morals and noble character first-hand.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Gained Nagao Haruto's acknowledgment... Takada Yanso's acknowledgment... Hino Kaede's acknowledgment...

The continuous acknowledgment prompts were a sweet melody in Tonan's ears. This was the proverbial double happiness at his door. Not only did he awaken Mangekyo, but he was also poised to inherit quite a few legacies.

Even if the quality was not worth much, acknowledgments were never a waste. Also, even though these people were civilians, Konoha's villagers were different from others.

They had either started to refine chakra when they were young and knew basic ninjutsu such as the three techniques or had migrated after spending a lot of money. Just to be able to enter Konoha with money meant something.

"Everyone, please get up. I'm fine. You all just didn't know all the facts." Tonan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and plastered a flattering look on his face. Under his repeated requests, the villagers stood up but their faces were filled with guilt.

Looking at Tonan, Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato had gentle smiles on their faces without even realizing it. Kushina looked at the awkward Tonan and felt that he was taller than anyone else at this moment.

His head had residual vegetable leaves and eggs that he didn't even have the time to shake off. His arms were covered with scars, and his body was blue and purple. All the villagers had punched and kicked him and the bruises were now showing up.

Even though Tonan must be suffering from bodily pain, he was forgiving and supported those who hurt him. No matter who it was, this would be enough to touch their emotional chords.

Thinking of this, Kushina said, "Tonan is amazing. It's difficult to imagine he had gone through so much but could still maintain the kindness in his heart."

A bright smile appeared on Minato's face, and he softly added, "I think Tonan is probably the son of the Prophecy that Jiraiya-sensei mentioned. He will bring peace to the Ninja World in the future."

Kushina mulled over his words for a bit and then firmly nodded, "He can definitely do it."

Ding! Gained Uzumaki Kushina's acknowledgment.

Ding! Gained Namikaze Minato's acknowledgment.

Tonan, who was helping the villagers get up, paused for a moment but didn't show any strange behavior.

'Excellent! Triple happiness! I never thought there would be such an unexpected harvest. Old Danzo is my lucky star. After Asura's reincarnation, Naruto is born, Flying Thunder God and the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques will be mine.'
