Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Just like her own father, that kind of situation would not happen to Yun.

……

As the morning light shone down, the villagers and ninjas of Konoha were still wondering about the commotion from the previous night, but it seemed as if nothing had happened at all.

Last night, after a violent explosion, the Hokage's direct ANBU took down many people in an instant, and the information they originally wanted to send out has now disappeared without a trace.

Hokage Building.

Minato looked at Kakashi beside him and asked, "How is it?"

Kakashi shrugged: "Except for the part where the two brothers don't get along, everything is true."

Kakashi then asked in confusion, "Teacher, you should be very familiar with that chakra, right? The power of the Uzumaki clan should be enough to prove it, shouldn't it?"

Minato stood up and smiled: "At this point, I'm naturally willing to believe in the Cloud. But from the Hokage's perspective, I also have to ask you the question I just asked, understand?"

Kakashi sighed: "So the Hokage position is the most frustrating one, isn't it? My teacher has changed a lot over the years."

Has it changed a lot?

Minato sighed and looked out the window. Since becoming Hokage, he had gone from being clueless at the beginning to being quite adept at it now.

Everything comes down to my own political development.

Power is both a temptation and a responsibility. The Hokage's responsibility is to protect the entire village.

If they could have this kind of awareness, what's wrong with the Uchiha clan producing a Hokage?

After a moment, Kakashi asked, "What should we do about the former advisor, Mitokado Homura?"

Minato thought for a moment and replied, "Let's lock him up in the Serious Crime Ninja Penitentiary. Although he was an advisor who made contributions along with the Third Hokage, this incident has already threatened the safety of the village."

"We also need to involve the interrogation department and obtain the complete list of all the remaining Root ninjas."

……

In front of Mitokado Yan's mansion.

Kakashi sighed after standing there for a long time, then went inside.

When he saw his former advisor, his languid posture faltered slightly.

In just one day, this advisor, though old but still quite robust, has become a decaying old man about to enter the underworld.

"Kakashi?"

A deep, hoarse voice rang out, and Mitokado Homura slightly raised his head, his cloudy eyes looking at Kakashi: "Since it was you who came here, then the plan must have failed? Is that right?"

Mitokado Homura smiled and said, "I underestimated the current Fourth Hokage, but it seems he is stronger than Hiruzen."

Kakashi didn't reply, but said directly, "Next, you'll be locked up in the Serious Crime Ninja Prison. Let's go."

Mitokado Yan walked out with a faint smile, without any hesitation.

"Losers should accept their punishment, but Kakashi, remember to pass on a message to Minato Namikaze for me."

Looking at the gazes that met his eyes, Mitokado Homura said, "The Uchiha clan, having regained power like Uchiha Madara, has transcended the mundane world. With such power, no one can stop his evil. Konoha today will never have another Senju Hashirama."

"The Fourth Hokage will regret the decision he made today sooner or later. Konoha will also be destroyed by the Uchiha."

These words made Kakashi frown, and at that moment he thought of his friend Obito.

Why is the Uchiha clan, who gathers in the village every day and is always late because they help old ladies cross the road, considered evil?

Just because of inherited will and one's own beliefs, does one think that all members of the Uchiha clan are evil?

Kakashi looked at Homura Mitokado and said, "Perhaps I can understand now why our teacher kept you alive. Perhaps letting you live to witness the future prosperity of Konoha would be the biggest blow to you."

……

The Sarutobi clan's territory, the home of the former Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

“Biwa Lake, brew another pot of tea.”

Setting down the teapot, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe.

After exhaling a cloud of smoke, he looked at Koharu Utatane beside him and asked, "You didn't go either?"

Koharu shook her head: "That guy has been competitive since he was a child. If we go, we'll only embarrass him, won't we?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded without saying anything more, but unconsciously, he put his pipe into his mouth more frequently.

Smoke rose up, and after a while Biwako came over with a teapot, complained about the smoke, and turned to leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Koharu Utatane and smiled: "This kind of life is not bad, is it? There are not so many worries, and everything is handed over to the young people. This kind of life feels like a huge burden has been lifted off your shoulders."

Koharu Utatane smiled and replied, "Suddenly I've aged. It feels like just yesterday that Hiruzen became Hokage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke: "Everyone gets old eventually. As the Third Hokage, I am indeed an unqualified Hokage."

"Since they are unqualified, what excuse do we have for not trusting them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaochun, who was turning around, understood the meaning behind her old friend's words.

Konoha's White Fang committed suicide for that reason, allowing Danzo's Root organization to be established and his students to conduct human experiments on the village's ninjas.

Although he did not personally commit these acts, as the Hokage, he cannot escape responsibility.

"Unqualified" is the label he put on himself, and it's also the reason he chose to give up at this point.

No matter how far Uchiha Yun goes, if there is no trust from the beginning, how can one believe that the other party will be loyal to Konoha?

Just like the Fourth Hokage, aren't the current Uchiha the Uchiha of Konoha?

Chapter 155: Neji and Lee

"elder brother!"

As soon as Yun opened the door, Quan's voice rang out in the living room.

At this moment, not only Izumi, but also his mother were waiting for him to return in the living room, their eyes filled with worry.

Yun stretched out a hand to stop Quan from running over, smiled and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? Why don't you let Mother go and rest first?"

Uchiha Hazuki looked at Yun: "It was me who didn't want to rest. How could I sleep if you didn't come back in this situation? I'm relieved to see you back safely."

As she spoke, Uchiha Hazuki hesitated, but still asked, "Was what those people at the door said about human experiments true?"

Yun smiled and was about to answer.

Uchiha Hazuki wiped her eyes, then stood up and looked at Yun, saying, "As your mother, I will believe all your answers from now on. But I hope you know that although you are now a hero of the village, the Uchiha Yun who killed the Fourth Raikage and ended the war..."

“But your father was no different from any other ordinary ninja before this. During wartime, it was a blessing for ordinary ninjas like them to return each time.”

"Back then, it was the same for me when I was with you all."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun stepped forward and helped her mother sit down again, then sat down beside her herself.

At this moment, Quan was too timid to utter a sound. In her memory, such a scene had only occurred once when she was very, very young.

Yun looked at his mother, and he understood the meaning behind her words.

"The identities of those people were those remaining Root ninjas. Root is an organization that has been abolished, and the Hokage has been thoroughly investigating the list of remaining Root ninjas."

"call……"

Yun let out a breath: "Originally, I shouldn't have told you this, for fear of worrying you. These remaining Root ninjas, following the orders of their former advisor Mitokado Homura, wanted to frame the Hokage and me for human experimentation in order to stage a coup."

"If they succeed, the Third Hokage will be able to resume his position as Hokage, and the power they lost will be regained."

"But the Fourth Hokage was prepared for these things. When the incident started last night, the Fourth Hokage's direct ANBU, who had been monitoring the situation, had already taken action."

"Kakashi, who came later, was the monitor of those who came to me. It's just that for some reason, I had to leave all these brainwashed people behind."

At this point, Yun looked at her mother and said, "Human experimentation has nothing to do with me."

Uchiha Hazuki relaxed her expression and then said, "The world of ninjas has no place for kindness. You have your own plans for everything."

Nodding, Yun looked at Quan and said, "Take Mother back to her bedroom to rest. You can stay home and take care of her. I need to go to the Hyuga family later."

Quan pouted: "Don't you need to rest, brother? You've been so busy all night long."

Yun reached out and tapped her forehead: "Did you forget the invitation from Tokuma at the barbecue restaurant yesterday?"

After saying that, Yun ignored Quan's funny faces, got up, bowed to her mother, and then went back to her room.

I always wore pajamas when I went out before, after all, I'm not some kind of powerful person.

Now that we're heading to the Hyuga clan's territory, we need to change our clothes.

……

Hyuga clan territory, Hizashi's home.

At this moment, Rizashi was kneeling and fiddling with the tea set. After a while, a cup of tea was placed in front of Yun.

"To be honest, I feel uncomfortable as soon as I enter the Hyuga clan's territory. That's the rule, and there are rules everywhere."

Yun Duan, sitting casually cross-legged, picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, glancing at Neji who was practicing Gentle Fist in the courtyard.

The Hizashi across from them brewed tea again and asked, "What do you think of Neji?"

Yun turned to look at Neji, smiled, and replied, "Your talent is quite good, but your goal is difficult right now."

This startled Hizashi: "How did you know my purpose? I didn't say anything before this, did I?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "I can guess what you're thinking. With Neji's talent, having that curse mark on his forehead must be very frustrating, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hijiri clenched his fist.

"I'm just unwilling to accept that, simply because he was born later, a child like Neji has to bear this fate. He shouldn't have been born into the branch family; he should have been born into the main family."

Yun thought for a moment, then looked at Rizashi and asked, "So what do you want to do? And what is the purpose of summoning me here?"

Richa slightly raised his head, exhaled, and calmed himself down.

"I originally wanted to give a heads-up because of some recent rumors, but it seems that after yesterday, everything has returned to calm thanks to the Hokage's methods."

Yun nodded: "Show goodwill, and then what?"

The simple question made Hizashi somewhat uneasy. The person in front of him was no ordinary junior.

In terms of his reputation in the village and the rumored power of his personal strength, even the head of the main family, Hiashi, could only treat him as an equal.

After a long pause, Hizashi, who had been hesitant to speak, finally said, "If my brother Hiashi were to cooperate with the next Hokage... could the fate of the Hyuga branch family be changed?"
