Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Hokage Building.

The three who had just arrived encountered Uchiha Yun, who had also been brought there by the Anbu.

"You guys came too? It seems the Hokage is quite wary of Uzumaki Sora's power..."

Itachi looked at Yun and replied in a deep voice, "That guy probably has a lot of abilities now, including my Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. Don't underestimate Yun."

Yun nodded casually: "Perhaps that's why the Hokage summoned us to gather intelligence. Don't worry... I haven't lost yet."

Shisui, standing behind Itachi, glanced at Yun, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to touch his left eye.

Kakashi, who was standing nearby, said, "Let's go in. We can summarize the intelligence together later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them walked into the office door that Kakashi had already opened.

……

"Suddenly appearing in Konoha, Uzumaki Sora specifically challenged Kumo to a fight, and we do not yet know his purpose."

After a moment of contemplation, Minato looked at Yun and said, "As for the information we have about Uzumaki Sora, he already possesses many abilities: proficient in the Flying Thunder God Technique, the First Hokage's Wood Release, and the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques..."

Minato then looked at Itachi: "The previous report said that you made a deal with Uzumaki Sora, so it's Itachi's turn to be the first to add something."

Upon hearing this, Itachi nodded and then said, "I have noted the reason for the transaction in the report, and what I am adding here is only my guess that he will exchange for the ability."

“In the trading space, Uzumaki Sora once said that apart from the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, I have no other power that he would be interested in. Therefore, Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu are the first choices.”

"Tsukuyomi: It can pull the enemy's consciousness into a genjutsu the instant they make eye contact, and that instant lasts for seventy-two hours. That is to say, even if another chakra breaks the genjutsu afterward, the mental damage for seventy-two hours is still unavoidable."

"As for Amaterasu, the inextinguishable black flame, Yun also possesses this ability. The only characteristic to be wary of is its activation speed, because it is a dojutsu, and is basically instantaneous."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato nodded.

At this moment, Shisui, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Uzumaki Sora... should have also made a deal with Sasuke."

???

These words made Itachi turn around instantly and look at Shisui with surprise and suspicion.

Shisui smiled helplessly and replied, "At that time, Sasuke was arguing with you because of Shinko. Besides, Sasuke was probably tricked by Uzumaki Sora, so naturally he wouldn't tell you such an embarrassing story."

"You've been scammed?"

Itachi paused for a moment, then looked at Shisui and asked, "But Sasuke doesn't even have the Sharingan. What could Uzumaki Sora possibly want from him?"

and many more!

In an instant, Itachi thought of the answer he had been investigating and had already learned some of the results of.

"Indra's chakra? He can even replicate this kind of reincarnated power?!"

Itachi's words made Minato frown slightly...

The reincarnation of Indra's chakra, as explained by Yun earlier, is located within Uchiha Sasuke's body.

After learning about this situation at the Naka Shrine, Minato began to pay more attention to Sasuke.

Although the exact purpose of Indra's chakra reincarnation—the son of the Sage of Six Paths—is unknown, Uzumaki Sora is willing to make a deal for it…

So... perhaps this so-called chakra reincarnation has a very unusual function.

As for the exchange of chips in the transaction, that's not the case. We won't consider that.

Considering Sasuke was merely a ninja trainee and hadn't even awakened his Sharingan, Uzumaki Sora was extremely picky.

After all, even the teacher Jiraiya was deemed to have no value...

At this moment, Shisui sighed and said, "Itachi, the fact that Uzumaki Sora was willing to make a deal with Sasuke for the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, and even played a word game to gain Sasuke's leverage, proves something..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

Indeed, doesn't Uzumaki Sora's actions prove that the reincarnation of Indra's chakra will not have any negative impact on Sasuke's own will?

"call……"

Itachi breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing this. Heaven knows how many documents he had consulted in the Uchiha clan's territory over the past year in order to investigate the name Indra.

Yun smiled and said, "He even lies to children. This guy is really shameless."

Minato sighed and shook his head, saying, "The other party's strange trading ability, coupled with his seemingly all-knowing intelligence, is terrifying enough on its own."

As he spoke, Minato recalled their first transaction, paused, and then added, "Furthermore, the other party's intelligence capabilities... might even be able to predict the future."

Predict future?

Shikaku, who had been silent until now, hurriedly said, "If it's about foresight, then we cannot agree to this battle!"

Minato understood Shikaku's meaning, but still shook his head and said, "Predicting the future is just my guess. I understand what you mean. You're worried that he foresaw that he would win this battle, which is why he specifically requested to fight Kumo, right?"

"But perhaps... he foresaw defeat? If he truly knew the future, then his control over what would happen next might be the decisive factor in this battle, so he needed to lose?"

Shikaku frowned slightly and replied, "The Hokage's guess is too arbitrary. The probability of that is not high. In fact, it can be said that... it is practically non-existent."

Shikaku's first rebuttal was very firm.

In fact, since taking on the role of assistant, he has always been considerate of the Hokage in many matters.

Sometimes, he would even guide Minato to discover things, rather than directly stating the answer.

But this time is different!

The outcome of the battle between Uzumaki Sora and Uchiha Kumo will influence the other four major ninja villages' perceptions of Konoha's fighting strength.

If the existing fear cannot be transformed into overwhelming terror, then the result will inevitably be counterproductive.

Minato shook his head slightly: "I understand what you mean, but what can Uzumaki Sora, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, do if he doesn't agree?"

"To explain in detail, Uzumaki Sora, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, can appear anywhere in Konoha at will, and even come and go freely. Having no foundation, no one can catch him!"

After he finished speaking, Shikaku fell silent.

In fact, when Minato explained his abilities before, he had wanted to ask about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

What kind of information could make the Fourth Hokage trade such an ability to a stranger?

But this question is obviously not one that can be asked. The fact that the Hokage deliberately avoided this matter before was already a very clear reminder.

"call……"

At this moment, Uchiha Yun exhaled, looked at everyone and smiled, saying, "Perhaps you... don't know much about the power of the Sharingan at its peak in the Uchiha clan."

As Yun spoke, he looked at Shikaku and said, "As someone from around the same era as the Hokage, I have never witnessed the power of the two warlords of the Warring States period. The landscape of the Valley of the End has now been transformed into a tourist attraction."

"To put it another way... regardless of the outcome, this battle will only serve as a greater deterrent to the other four great ninja villages."

"Onoki of Iwagakure has witnessed the terror of Madara Uchiha, and Kirigakure has been isolating itself for many years. This battle may give Kumogakure and Sunagakure, who have begun to forget, a clear understanding."

Shikaku looked at the clouds, as if he wanted to say something...

But at this moment, Minato looked at him and said with a smile, "Shikaku and I were indeed born around the same time. I only learned about the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha from historical records, which is why I was so shocked by their power."

Minato then looked at Kuma and said, "I haven't given Uzumaki Sora an answer yet. Until then, I might be able to offer you some assistance."

Yun was taken aback. Help?

What kind of help? Teaching me the Flying Thunder God Technique?

If his talent for space-time ninjutsu is exposed, his disguise might be revealed!

……

Konoha, commercial street.

After eating a bowl of ramen by himself at Ichiraku Ramen, Sora Uzumaki took Konan on a shopping spree.

Fish balls, takoyaki, sugar figurines...

After trying all the snacks, I was completely satisfied with just one bowl of ramen.

He turned to look at Konan, who was still holding snacks in her hand, and sighed, saying, "The challenge has been sent. Before Konoha responds, relax a bit."

"Huh? Hmm."

Xiao Nan nodded blankly, then looked at the snack in her hand.

The sugar figurine reminded her of her childhood days as a homeless person.

At that time, Nagato hadn't joined yet, and Yahiko and he relied on stealing to survive every day. If they got caught, they would definitely be beaten up.

After being beaten, Yahiko would take out his meager savings and buy himself some sweets.

What just happened...

Thinking of this, Konan shook her head slightly. Yahiko was already dead, and although the person in front of her looked very similar, he was not Yahiko.

At that moment, Kong, who had walked to the entrance of the mask shop, turned around and waved.

After Konan arrived, she asked, "Would you like to buy a mask? You've come all the way to Konoha, you should at least have a souvenir to take back with you, right?"

Konan's gaze sharpened slightly as she looked at the mask, then she shook her head and said, "Things from Konoha aren't souvenirs to me. Besides, right now, all I want to do with masks is smash them."

These words startled Kong, who sighed and continued walking forward.

Xiao Nan continued to follow behind.

"At this age, people can no longer be judged by good or bad, since everyone's perspective is different."

Uzumaki Sora turned to Konan as she spoke: "But if you knew the previous generation's stance, do you think the people of Konoha are all hopeless villains?"

These words surprised Xiao Nan.

Sora continued, "From Yahiko's perspective back then, no ninja village or group is entirely good or bad. To borrow a phrase from Nagato..."

"Conflicts originate from resources, ideologies, cults, resentment, love... Conflicts naturally arise from these things. Not everyone in Konoha is a hopeless bastard. If we want this world to truly achieve relative peace, then this is very important..."

As Uzumaki Sora finished speaking, Konan, who was opposite him, also fell into deep thought.

After a while, Xiao Nan raised her hand and took a bite of the sugar figurine in her hand.

At that moment, a familiar little figure appeared in Kong's line of sight.

And his gaze instantly met Kong's.

"Shady businessman!!!"

With a roar, all eyes on the street turned to him.

Uzumaki Sora hurriedly pulled Konan away with the Thunder God, but at that moment she felt a hand grab her clothes.
