Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Kong smiled and said, "I brought enough money. After we finish eating, I'll pack twenty portions to take back for your friends and the dean to try."

These words made Dou's eyes light up: "Really? The director hasn't had a decent meal in ages. I overheard something yesterday... about the orphanage's funding..."

Yun smiled and looked behind her. Someone had come in through the curtain of Ichiraku Ramen: "If I'm not mistaken, the orphanage's funding problem should have been solved. Don't worry, neither you nor your director need to be spies."

The curtain was lifted, and Kakashi's headband, which concealed his Sharingan, was raised, the three tomoe within slowly rotating as he stared intently into the air.

"Don't be so nervous, Kakashi. Your Kamui can't hold me back. If you want to talk, I can treat you to a bowl of ramen." Sora smiled.

"Under the Flying Thunder God Technique, Konoha's barrier seems to have no effect on you... Uzumaki Sora, I dare not be careless in the slightest when facing someone like you."

Kakashi looked at Kabuto beside him and asked in confusion, "How could a strong person like you be friends with a child?"

Kong chuckled and retorted, "You don't seem that old either, is it really okay to say that? Besides, this child's talent is no less than yours."

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Minato, wearing the Fourth Hokage's cloak, appeared beside Kakashi.

He patted Kakashi on the shoulder: "Close your Sharingan. If I'm not mistaken, he can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave here a moment before Kamui is activated."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi asked in confusion, "Even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, not everyone has the same speed as you, Master, right?"

Minato glanced at the empty space and let out a sigh of relief: "So that's what I was most worried about..."

With a baffling reply, Kakashi obediently pulled down his headband, covering his Sharingan that could unleash its Mangekyou Sharingan at any moment.

"Handmade, a large bowl of original broth ramen, please."

The kitchen staff, who were busy working, responded quickly after hearing the voice. It wasn't until they brought out the ramen that they realized it was the Fourth Hokage.

"Isn't the Fourth Generation Lord busy today? This ramen is on me."

The man pretended to be generous, but glanced at Kong beside him, clearly not intending to offer a free meal. He had just heard that they wanted to pack twenty portions, which was no small amount.

Minato smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to type it by hand, just collect the money the same way. You can go and get busy."

After the chef entered the kitchen, Minato looked at Sora, smiled, and said, "We meet again."

Without denying it, Sora smiled and nodded, "We meet again, Fourth Hokage. The fact that the information from last time allowed me to see you again shows that you handled things well."

Minato then probed, "Is it because of that arm from last time that you gained the power of the First Hokage's Wood Release?"

Yun stretched out his hand, holding a chakra test strip between his fingers. Flames shot up, shattered, tore, and became soaked on it.

"The time allotted for the four chakra nature transformations was indeed a bit short, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to see Danzo yesterday."

Minato looked solemnly at the chakra test paper lying on the table. Fire, wind, earth, water, has it really come to this?

After thinking for a moment, he still asked, "Why did you kill Danzo?"

As he spoke, Minato glanced at Kabuto and said, "Your goal isn't just him, is it? A child with some talent."

Sora smiled and said, "You and Kakashi have underestimated this child. If everything goes smoothly into the future, this child's power could even influence the entire world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato looked seriously at Kabuto, who was sitting to the side with a completely bewildered expression.

White hair and an obviously mismatched pair of glasses, Hatake?

"He's not Kakashi's relative; he's just an ordinary kid, but his talent in certain areas is truly top-notch in this world."

Sora said, looking at Dou, "I will be leaving here in a while, and you have two choices."

Dou nodded blankly.

Sora continued, "First: Follow the Fourth Generation, and I would suggest you go to the research department and the medical department. Second: Go back to the orphanage and continue to help Director Nonou take care of the children there."

After speaking, Dou fell into deep thought.

He remembered what had happened yesterday: the man with bandages and the other man with snake-like eyes. Root, the director…

"You seem to understand."

Kong sighed: "Although what I want to see is you quietly staying in the orphanage, guarding this pure land, it seems you also understand that without power, everything you protect will turn into nothing."

"Follow the Fourth Generation and make the most of your abilities. As the one who is connected to the orphanage, only by fulfilling the Fourth Generation's indispensable role can the orphanage become safer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dou looked up at Kong and smiled: "Yes, I believe in big brother!"

Kong was stunned for a moment, then rubbed Dou's little head: "Your fate has also been changed by me... You, who are an orphan, should not fall into darkness because of the ambition of some people."

"Cough cough!"

Minato, standing to the side, seemed a little confused. After coughing, he said, "It seems like none of you consulted me, did you? You just made the decision for me as the Hokage?"

Kakashi reached out and poked Minato, asking in a low voice, "Sensei, aren't they enemies? Is it really okay to blatantly send spies in like this?"

Minato looked at Kakashi and sighed. It seemed there were some things he couldn't tell this disciple.

Enemy? It doesn't seem so.

"Shh!"

The kunai slashed across Kabuto's arm, leaving a wound from which blood slowly trickled out.

"Kabuto, show the Fourth Hokage the medical ninjutsu that the headmaster taught you."

Dou nodded without offering any resistance, understanding Kong's intention.

As a result, green chakra filled his hands, and the already shallow wound quickly stopped bleeding, with the healing speed also increasing significantly.

"Such precise chakra control; this child certainly has the talent to enter the medical department," Minato commented.

"Medical ninjutsu is insignificant compared to his talents."

Kong shook his head and then tapped his brain with his hand: "Talent is different from bloodline, and there is a fundamental difference between different kinds of wisdom. This child's true power lies in his brain."

"He is not as good as the Second Hokage, but compared to you who developed the Rasengan, a ninjutsu without hand seals, he should be about the same."

These words made the Fourth Hokage's eyes light up. There were many geniuses in Konoha, but they were only ninja geniuses.

The research department and the medical department have only had Orochimaru and Tsunade over the years, but neither of them are on our side.

"I agreed."

"By the way, 'similar' means he's slightly worse than me, or I'm slightly worse than him?"

You're a little less capable than him.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Seal of Self-Karma's Binding

"Shh!"

"Bang bang bang..."

In the Forest of Death, golden and red light flickered incessantly, and sparks flew with every collision of kunai.

"Huhuhu..."

Minato Namikaze shook his arm and said with a wry smile, "Is this pure power what you recently obtained?"

Standing on the opposite tree, Kong replied with a smile, "The time is too short. A day is only enough for me to familiarize myself with it. But even so, I have no problem controlling how to concentrate chakra and unleash it."

Is that so?

Minato Namikaze nodded: "In that case, I'll have to show my true strength next."

He shrugged and said, "I was planning to go get some barbecue and leave, but you insisted on fighting this match."

Minato Namikaze shook his head slightly and pointed to the large characters on the back of his trench coat: "As the Fourth Hokage, I still have to try and see if I can keep you here. Otherwise..."

The two looked into the shadows not far away, not bothering to greet Minato, the Fourth Hokage, but simply observing everything from the shadows.

It was obvious that the ninjas who had arrived were from Root, the Dark Side of Konoha under Danzo's command.

It's a pity that old devil Danzo didn't come himself, otherwise we could have thought of some solutions...

"Shh!"

In an instant, the golden and red figures flashed again in the forest.

Each collision between the two was completely unexpected. Under the second stage of Flying Thunder God Technique, every kunai became a coordinate, and the speed of space-time ninjutsu was revealed in an instant.

With the same Flying Thunder God technique and the same reaction speed, it was impossible to determine a winner.

Rasengan!

Wind-style chakra swirled irregularly within a blue sphere of light, instantly rushing towards you from above.

Faced with the Rasengan that was about to arrive, Sora simply punched it.

"boom!!"

A tremendous roar resounded, and with a single blow, Minato Namikaze was sent flying.

The fist, still brimming with power, slammed into the ground, creating a massive crater that seemed to shake the earth.

"it's over……"

"ended."

The two said the same thing at the same time. Minato, who had been thrown out, staggered to his feet, looked at the spell on his arm and smiled. In an instant, the three words (Uzumaki Sora) changed into (Shinobi Love Blade).

The same thing happened on Kong's side; after the spells changed instantly, the two smiled.

Minato limped over and looked at the hand that had just taken the Rasengan. The wound on it was rapidly disappearing and had healed in no time.

"Baihao? No! You don't have the Yin Seal, this is the first generation's..."

Sora casually flicked his hand: "The Rasengan without hand seals is indeed the most suitable technique for the Flying Thunder God Technique. When activated in an instant, I could only take it head-on. But you must be feeling the effects of that force now, right?"

Minato looked at the wounds on his body from the impact, raised his head slightly and smiled: "Seal of Self-Karmic Binding."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black curse mark spread systematically throughout Kong's entire body.

For a moment, Kong was unable to move.

"From the very beginning of the battle, we both knew that imprinting the Flying Thunder God Technique on each other would have no effect on either of us."

"What I didn't expect was that in just one day since yesterday, you had already mastered the immense life force and chakra of the First Hokage. That punch was no less powerful than Tsunade's monstrous strength."

"The seal of self-inflicted karma was laid the moment of contact, which is why I said it was over. Its effect won't last long, so why don't you leave now and I'll consider it a win?"

Looking at the black curse mark on his body, Kong laughed and replied, "Is this what you set up with your little trick just now? Considering your own reaction speed, you really lack confidence."
