Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Hey……

With a sigh, Shikaku suddenly felt that the Uchiha clan's situation seemed to have reached another turning point.

……

Chapter 149: Conspiracy

Five days later, at the entrance of Konoha Village.

"Phew... I'm finally back!"

"You make it sound like you almost didn't make it back. It's best to say things like that less often."

"Tokuma's training volume has been very high these past few days, he must be tired, right?"

Hana Inuzuka smiled and said, "We're the same, it's not like he's the only one who's exhausted. We haven't even started medical ninjutsu yet, and I'm already overwhelmed just with the further refinement of chakra control."

Izumi scratched his head: "The new Fire Release ninjutsu, and the specific applications of the Sharingan, it seems we still have a lot to learn..."

Yun greeted the door gods at the entrance, then looked at his three students: "We're finally back in the village. Now we can train you better without worrying about the travel time."

Upon hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at Yun with bitter faces.

"Does this mean... we need to train even harder from now on?"

"I was hoping to get a few days off."

"elder brother……"

Looking at the three people with long faces, Yun clapped his hands and said with a smile, "To celebrate the successful completion of your first mission outside the village, and it was even a B-level mission, we'll have a barbecue dinner tonight."

Before the three could even celebrate, Yun continued, "After the dinner, we'll start training hard tomorrow. From now on, our 10th Squad will only be taking on some D-level missions within the village, so you'll have plenty of time."

"Yes……"

The sighing response made Yun smile. Although they were classmates, the feeling of being a teacher was actually quite nice.

……

After they parted ways, Quan followed Yun home.

Looking at the figure walking ahead, Quan smiled unconsciously.

I remember my older brother was different when I was little. When I was a child, he didn't really want to pay attention to me, not even to our mother.

But then, suddenly my brother became reliable. He looked for work everywhere and used the money he earned to help support our mother's household expenses.

……

"What are you laughing at?"

Yun stopped and turned to look at Quan behind her, reaching out to tap her headband: "Are you making fun of me? Although it's my first time being a teacher, I feel it's not bad."

Quan shook her head and stepped forward to take Yun's arm: "I feel that my brother's back is becoming more and more reliable. And since he was four years old, the coldness in his eyes when he looks at me and my mother has disappeared."

Yun paused for a moment, then remembered something.

At that time, the constant anxiety and fear that lasted for years, along with the familial affection that she didn't want to acknowledge, were indeed a bit too much for a mother who had raised her children with great hardship.

"Snapped."

Gently tapping Quan's forehead, Yun smiled and replied, "From now on, Quan must become reliable. This is the path you chose, so don't regret it."

Izumi pouted and looked at Yun, replying, "I won't regret it. Becoming a ninja to protect my brother and mother was a wish I made when I was little. How could I give up my original goal just because my brother is reliable?"

Is that so?

Did Izumi make such a goal during the most difficult time for this family?

"spring."

"Ok?"

"Surpassing me won't be easy. There may be many twists and turns and difficulties in achieving your goal, but..."

"The process of diligent self-cultivation and the rewards that follow are all your own. Being able to move towards your goal every day is your greatest motivation."

As soon as he finished speaking, looking at the little stars of fighting spirit in Quan's eyes, Yun scratched his head.

This kind of sentimental, but ultimately meaningless, inspirational story is certainly enough to resonate with children.

……

We're back!

Upon hearing the voices of the brother and sister at the door, Uchiha Hazuki quickly ran out and smiled with relief when she saw them.

"This mission must have been difficult, right? You've been gone for so many days. This is Quan's first mission outside the village, did you do your best?"

Izumi, who was changing her shoes, turned around and pouted: "Mother, I'm really amazing, okay... I'm a genius who awakened the double-tomoe Sharingan at the age of twelve. Missions are no problem for me at all."

Uchiha Hazuki reached out and ruffled Izumi's hair: "Izumi has always been a genius, but you still need to work hard."

"Oh, right."

As she spoke, Ye Yue looked at Yun beside her and said, "The clan leader came to see you the day before yesterday and said that if you come back, you should go to see him as soon as possible."

Does it stop the water?

Shisui knew about his mission, and unless it was something particularly important, he wouldn't have left him to come find him as soon as he returned.

But what's going on during this time?

After putting down the slippers she was about to change into, Yun thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go out first. There's a dinner party tonight to celebrate their first successful mission outside the village, so Mother doesn't need to prepare anything."

Uchiha Hazuki smiled and nodded: "I didn't know you were coming back today. I'll make some preparations for tomorrow; we should also celebrate with Izumi."

I'm going out.

Yun nodded, left a message, and went out again.

……

Nanhe River.

"Shh."

After a blink of an eye, Yun appeared on the cliff above the river and looked at Zhishui beside him: "You were the one looking for me, but now I've been searching for you for ages."

Shisui smiled as he looked at the river sweeping past below: "Every time I come to this place, it brings me peace. After all, this is... where it all began, the place where you and I saved the Uchiha from disaster."

These words made Yun look down at the river and then exhale.

If this world weren't for him, then the Naka River below would be Shisui's burial place.

Because of the bug-like nature of Kotoamatsukami, not even a corpse was left behind, and Shisui was not among the army resurrected by Edo Tensei.

"I've only been away from the village for eight days. Given your personality, you wouldn't have left a message for me to come back and find you immediately. So... has something happened?"

As Yun spoke, he casually tossed a stone, which landed in the Nanhe River below.

Without waiting for Shisui's reply, Yun continued, "Although sometimes the decisive factor in politics is not power, politics without power is like a stone that has just fallen into the Namga River... insignificant."

"The flow of the Namga River is like the falling of that stone. Do you think it can stop the ever-flowing river? No, when you don't have enough power, many things are just a joke."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shisui seemed to understand something.

He smiled and looked at Yun: "It's been years, and every time you say something, it's so thought-provoking. I feel that way, and so does Itachi."

As he spoke, Shisui took out a scroll and handed it to Yun: "Take a look. This was given to me by Shikaku Tokichi yesterday. Most of it contains Shikaku Tokichi's guesses from a day ago, but the development of events seems to have been consistent with his guesses."

Yun took the scroll, opened it, and quickly read through the entire record.

"The handwriting here doesn't look like Shikaku's; it's very messy. Was it written by Haiichi?"

Uh!

Shisui looked at Yun with a speechless expression, then said, "The information on this scroll isn't just about understanding the handwriting, is it?"

Shisui sighed and explained, "The war with Kumogakure only ended a little over a year ago, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, led by Shikaku, have only just begun to stand beside the Fourth Hokage."

Yun nodded: "So the fact that they sent this scroll shows they've done more than enough in terms of kindness. As for the handwriting and signature, that's naturally impossible."

"call……"

After exhaling, Yun thought for a moment and then said, "It's only been a few days, but those two old bastards, Mitomon Homura, seem to have run out of strength."

Shisui was somewhat puzzled: "To be able to stir up such a discussion among the villagers about the First Lord's power in such a short time, the opponent's power must be considerable, right?"

"Also, why are there only two advisors? Aren't the third generation... included?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "No, only those who have played the game of public opinion understand how it works. After the Vortex Sky destroyed the Root, it seems that it still has considerable power remaining. However... things are not the same as before."

"As for the Third Hokage... bringing up the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha is not a suitable approach for him. Although he is old, he is not insane."

Yun smiled as she spoke. People in this world can be incredibly sharp when it comes to combat, but when it comes to politics, they can be inexplicably foolish.

The Konoha of today is not the Konoha of more than a decade ago. The reason why White Fang was forced to commit suicide back then was largely due to the lack of understanding from the villagers and his teammates.

But behind this was more the fact that the Hokage at the time was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Indecisive, clinging to past relationships, the aging third generation has far too many flaws.

It was precisely because of his indecisiveness that Root was able to orchestrate the suicide of Sakumo Hatake, the most popular candidate for Fourth Hokage at the time.

As someone who made great contributions on the battlefield, White Fang's long-term missions and care ensured that he would have no problem winning the vote of trust in the Jonin team.

At that time... anyone who posed a threat to Danzo's succession as Hokage was to be eliminated.

According to that old man who is already dead, only if he becomes Hokage can Konoha become great again, and everyone who prevents him from becoming Hokage is a sinner who hinders Konoha's development.

Thinking of this, Yun looked at the scroll in her hand...

On the first day of the incident: among the villagers and ninjas in the village, there were discussions about the strength of the First Hokage, and there was even a lot of hidden information in them.

For example: the change in terrain at the Valley of the End, the Nine-Tails being easily suppressed by Wood Release, and the vast forests outside Konoha...

On the third day of the incident: another figure began to emerge in public opinion, namely, from the end of the Warring States period to the early days of the ninja village, the only one who could rival the First Hokage was Uchiha Madara.

The power it relies on is the Sharingan, the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan.

……

"I didn't expect that information about Madara Uchiha would start circulating. The ultimate Sharingan mentioned in it can inspire endless imagination in the eyes of outsiders."

"During the war with Kumogakure, whether it was you, me, or Itachi, our unique Sharingan became known to everyone from that time onwards."
