Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

He turned and handed it to Minato, saying, "He has this habit. I haven't looked at the intelligence, but I think it should be of some help to the Hokage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi sat down next to his wife, Biwako, and began to comfort his elderly partner.

Water Gate didn't stand on ceremony and immediately opened the scroll.

However, the things recorded on it made Minato pause for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and handed the scroll to Shikaku.

Shikaku was speechless after looking at it. Finally, after Yun read it once more and confirmed the information in his mind, he returned the scroll to Minato.

"Let's go back to the Hokage Building."

After the three disappeared in an instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi never looked up; he had already retired.

……

Hokage Building.

"Half of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas betrayed us, believing that the Land of Fire should not have a Hokage."

Minato chuckled as he spoke: "So, their real target is me?"

Shikaku, standing to the side, smiled helplessly: "The relationship between Konoha and the Land of Fire is interdependent. The Hokage is a leader chosen by ninjas based on combat strength. The Daimyo, on the other hand, is not a ninja's jewel."

Minato sighed and then said, "But given the current situation in Daming Prefecture, it's possible that they have already gained some control over it."

"Furthermore, the reason they're still holding back is because Yun is still in Konoha. As long as they don't step forward, the Daimyo's office can't easily investigate. If the Daimyo were to die..."

As soon as he finished speaking, both Minato and Shikaku frowned.

Yun asked, puzzled, "If the daimyo is gone, surely not all of his heirs will die? It's not impossible for the heir to inherit the daimyo's position, is it?"

Minato shook his head slightly and looked at Yun, saying, "The relationship between the village and the Daimyo Prefecture is not that simple. Many things cannot be solved by power alone."

"When the Five Great Ninja Villages were first established, they promised to protect the daimyo of each country. This is an unshakable rule in the ninja world, because once a daimyo is killed by a ninja, the Land of Fire will distrust him, and the daimyo's household in each country will be wary of him."

“Ninjas are not capable of managing an entire country like a village. During times when the war has ceased, the daimyo’s government must provide the necessary financial support.”

"Once the news of a daimyo being killed by his own ninja spreads throughout the ninja world, whether it is to control the successor or for the ninja village to directly control the country, all forces will besiege him."

"This is because... the 'rabbit dies, fox grieves'; all the daimyo of every country in the ninja world will then force them to wage war against Konoha."

As Minato finished speaking, Yun understood a little about the contradiction in the matter.

Perhaps it's a matter of thought, or perhaps it's a matter of fear?

"call……"

After letting out a breath, Yun stopped complaining about the issue. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Now that it has been confirmed that we have no connection with the other four great ninja villages, can we recall the ninjas from the border and arrange for a group to go to the Daimyo's residence... to rescue the Daimyo?"

Shuimen nodded: "We must investigate the situation in Daming Prefecture now, and we also need to leave the village to visit Yun."

With a simple shrug, you can do it anytime.

At this moment, Shikaku asked, "Yun, how strong are your shadow clones?"

Yun looked at Shikaku and pondered for a moment before saying, "You want me to use a shadow clone to leave, while my main body stays in the village?"

Shikaku nodded: "Although the Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique can bring you back at any time, we don't know what the other side's current methods are, and they may have tactics to counter the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Given that the other party is only wary of him, this is indeed something that must be guarded against.

But even if these guys eventually manage to get me out of the village, what will they have to fight against Minato and Kushina?

Should I use it on my head?

Bullshit!

Yun then said, "It doesn't matter. With your current strength, Lu Jiu, I estimate that I could easily create more than a dozen clones."

Shikaku was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Have I become a unit of measurement? But since that's the case, let's set off now. Shadow clones head directly towards the border route."

Yun scratched her head; it was almost evening.

Oh well, it's no big deal if the shadow clone makes a trip, since it's not the real body anyway.

……

In a dark corner.

The group, deep in the dense forest, kept their eyes fixed on the leaves below.

"That man never left Konoha. The Hokage did not obey the Daimyo's orders!"

"Heh...I expected this, didn't I? The leader of a military force like the Hokage has never been under the command of the Daimyo."

"That's precisely why it's necessary for us to achieve our goal! The Land of Fire only needs one jewel; a Hokage is far too superfluous."

"Kazuma, shall we just take action?"

The man called Kazuma looked serious, but still shook his head in disappointment.

"We don't know much about that person's strength, but judging from the fact that he was able to kill the Fourth Raikage, if he joins forces with the Fourth Hokage, our chances of winning are not high."

"Although we managed to quietly obtain some things while the Cloud Village was in chaos, I still have some reservations..."

After he finished speaking, the four of them fell silent again.

He clenched his fists, his hands bursting with energy.

That guy from the Uchiha clan named Uchiha Kumo, with that kind of power, couldn't be controlled by the Daimyo, which is inherently unreasonable.

Jade, one piece is enough.

There is no need for the Hokage to be the leader of a military force.

"Out."

Upon hearing the sound of stillness, Kazuma immediately stood up and looked into the distance.

At that moment, a figure emerged from the gates of Konoha and sped toward the border of the Land of Hot Springs.

"The direction is correct, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is a shadow clone."

He then looked at the other three, pondered for a moment, and said, "To prove that it is not a shadow clone, I need one of you to verify it. Of course, this mission might result in death, so you can refuse."

After a moment of silence, Bu Feng stepped forward and said, "I'll go. Although I don't know how capable this little brother is, it might make things easier for me if I run away at the end."

He finished speaking, but Ma did not immediately agree.

At this moment, Bu Yuan sighed, "It seems I still have to go? That makes sense. Even if I can't tell whether the other party is a shadow clone, I can still test them."

Kazuma nodded and said, "Go."

Bu Yuan smiled and turned to leave.

Then, Bu Dong asked, "Is it only about not going? What about the intelligence...?"

Kazuma said in a deep voice, "If they can come back, they will naturally bring back the information. If they can't come back, then the opponent, who has the power to kill Bufeng, is certainly not just a shadow clone."

……

Meanwhile, Kumo, who had already left the village, headed directly towards the Land of Hot Springs.

In less than half an hour, a woman appeared in his senses.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

"Shh!"

The cloud, now at rest, calmly watched the pursuing enemy, who seemed to know something and never looked up to meet her gaze.

After standing up, Bu Yuan lowered her head and said, "Little brother... can you tell me, are you your true form or a shadow clone?"

Yun's eye twitched. It was truly astonishing that the black-haired woman in front of him had the appearance of a man, yet she spoke in a man's voice.

"It's disgusting, you know?"

"Hmph... I really don't understand, what gave you the audacity to come to Konoha and kill the Hokage with just a few people?"

These words startled Bu Yuan on the other side: "You already know? It seems there was some oversight before. But it doesn't matter. Once the Hokage dies, the others will naturally obey the Daimyo's orders."

As soon as he finished speaking, his hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and the ground trembled instantly.

"Boom boom boom!"

In an instant, a massive rock wall rose up, completely enveloping the motionless clouds within it.

"Heh... Is it because you're so confident in your own abilities that you didn't dodge at all?"

"You will pay the price for your arrogance, and death will be your best end."

The words had barely left his mouth when a massive burst of chakra suddenly erupted.

"boom!"

With just one punch, the cloud, which had been enveloped by the rock wall, slowly emerged.

"The equal access to information makes me completely indifferent to caution. If I didn't know, I might have been more careful."

"But your level is simply not enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun disappeared from Bu Yuan's sight in an instant.

The next moment, Yun, who was standing behind him, suddenly twitched his arm.

"boom!!!"

One strike, instant kill!

Looking at the disgusting guy lying on the ground, already dead, Yun scratched his head and said, "That's why I'm wondering where you guys got your backing. You dare to come to Konoha to kill the Hokage with this kind of power? What utter nonsense!"

……

The roaring sound from not far away lasted for less than ten seconds before it subsided.

This situation seems a bit too bizarre.

Bu Feng asked, "With Bu Yuan's strength, the battle ended in such a short time. It must be a shadow clone."

"No!"

Kazuma shook his head slightly: "It's possible. It was less than ten seconds before he was killed by that Uchiha Yun."

These words startled the other two people present, who then fell silent.

Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Five hours later, if Bu Yuan doesn't return, we'll launch the operation. With the barrier in place, he can't get in."

"The remaining defensive forces of Konoha need the two of you to work together to take them down. The Fourth Hokage will be held off by the newly acquired corpse. Once Raimon and Raijin are put down, everything will be over!"
