Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails, controlled by the Eternal Eye in the sealed land, was losing weight at a visible rate, soon becoming skin and bones.

Even so, Yun and Minato's actions did not stop. They wanted to split off a small Nine-Tails, but this alone was not enough!

"Roar!!!"

Perhaps due to the discomfort caused by the extraction of chakra, Kurama roared, but the Mangekyou Sharingan in its eye socket calmed it down and continued to supply chakra.

But just then, Minato's voice came: "It's ready."

After a brief explanation, Uchiha Yun's gaze sharpened slightly, and he immediately ordered the Nine-Tails under his control to stop its chakra output.

However... it seems that even Minato, as the Hokage, wasn't without his concerns...

Yun lowered his head and smiled softly. Ever since Pain issued this mission, Yun knew that the first opportunity to make the five great ninja villages understand the power of Uzumaki Ku had arrived.

Moreover, this time, with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he was able to unleash the complete Susanoo, and after absorbing the power of the Grell Stone, his clone Sora's Wood Release had also reached the same level.

Although no one expected that Minato and Kushina would share some of the Nine-Tails' power with him, more people will now know about Sora's immortality.

Meanwhile, outside, Kushina pressed one hand to her abdomen, and the next moment the cage fell, sealing the Nine-Tails once again as its pupils returned to their original state.

"Kushina! You'll regret this!"

In the dark, sealed land, the Nine-Tailed Fox's weak voice was clearly filled with rage.

However, Kushina ignored its roar and her consciousness vanished from the sealed land in the next moment.

……

"Roar!!!"

Inside the cave, the separated nine-tailed fox roared angrily.

However, faced with the two Uzumaki clan members in front of them, along with Minato and Uchiha Kumo, they dared not make any move, even though they only possessed a castrated version of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Uchiha Yun reached out and rubbed his ears: "Can you please stop yelling like that all the time? It's useless and just makes my ears hurt."

At this moment, Minato's expression turned slightly solemn. He looked at Yun and sighed, saying, "From now on, it's up to you."

Yun nodded, stepped forward, and asked the Nine-Tailed Fox, "Can you shrink yourself?"

The Nine-Tails glared angrily: "I am a Tailed Beast!!!"

"I told you not to be so loud..."

Yun, who had been frowning slightly, raised his head, and the Eternal Eye in his eye socket suddenly appeared: "When I controlled your main body before, I discovered that tailed beasts have the ability to shrink themselves. So, would you choose to let me control you to shrink, or shrink yourself?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox swallowed hard, feeling like it was being controlled by those eyes again.

Compared to that, the chakra that was separated was only a small part, so the discomfort of shrinking was not so important.

"Kushina...you'll regret this!!"

Finally, it retaliated with a shout, and the Nine-Tails looked at the impatient cloud with narrowed pupils, then obediently shrank its body.

It must be said that while the massive Nine-Tails may look ferocious and terrifying, the shrunken Nine-Tails looks more like a plush toy, which is quite cute.

Uchiha Yun reached out and smacked the little Nine-Tails on the forehead: "I told you not to be so loud. What's with all this regret? If you still have some left in the battle later, I guarantee you'll have a better life than your original self."

Nine-Tails clutched its forehead and glared angrily at Yun: "I'm a tailed beast! Not a pet!! If you hit me again... I'll..."

The threatening words that followed were held back for a long time, but the little nine-tailed fox couldn't come up with a threat.

Although the Uchiha brat in front of me is not very old, the power of his eyes is clearly even greater than that of Madara Uchiha back then!

As a remnant of the Sage of Six Paths, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) clearly knows some of the secrets of that era.

There's a reason why the Uchiha clan is considered an evil clan.

At this moment, Minato scratched his head and laughed, "I didn't expect Kurama to be so easy to talk to when facing the clouds."

Kushina pouted and said, "That stinky fox is so stingy every time I need to borrow some chakra. It seems like it's because I haven't beaten him enough. He has to pay rent every month, okay? I don't even get rent once a year."

Yun smiled, then reached out and pinched the little Nine-Tails up, saying to Minato, "To prevent this guy from running away, although we can go and slap him again, Hokage-sama, please imprint the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique on it."

Minato was taken aback by these words.

After a moment's thought, Minato reached out and patted Kumo on the shoulder: "I know that with Kumo's intelligence, he should think more about this, but as Hokage, I want to see a long-term transformation for the Uchiha clan."

"I differ from the Third Hokage in my trust in the next generation. If one day Kumo can truly shoulder the responsibility of the village and gain the recognition of everyone in the village, then it will be only natural for the Uchiha to produce a new Hokage."

As he spoke, Minato glanced at Kushina and said with a wry smile, "Since becoming Hokage, I've spent most of my time with the village. Yun, being Hokage... is actually quite tiring."

Yun smiled and shook his head: "Power that surpasses the limits of ordinary people will inevitably arouse all kinds of desires in people. As a person in a superior position, it is only natural that one must be wary. The Hokage is the Hokage of the entire village, and I can understand that."

"Furthermore, the Uchiha clan's transformation is still relatively recent. Everyone, even the various clans in the village that have now accepted the Uchiha, probably wants to wait and see..."

As she spoke, Yun looked at the little Nine-Tails, who was being twisted up and baring its teeth at her: "Actually, I've always wondered whether the fear humans have of tailed beasts lies in their power or in the beasts themselves."

"Having one's own will grants the ability to clearly distinguish right from wrong, good from evil. So, from the very beginning, were the Tailed Beasts meant to represent evil, destruction, and fear?"

Yun shook the dazed Nine-Tails in his hand: "So I don't plan to keep controlling this guy with the Sharingan forever, but in order to prevent him from escaping, the Hokage will naturally need to leave the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique on it."

As Yun finished speaking, an understanding of whether the tailed beasts were evil emerged in everyone's minds.

Minato frowned slightly, pondering the records in his mind. The tailed beasts, which had existed for an unknown period of time before the Warring States period, were they inherently representative of destruction and evil, or were these attributes imposed upon them by humans?

After regaining his senses, Minato threw them away.

But no matter how you look at it, Yun, who was able to say such things, must have felt much more at ease.

The act of cutting off the Nine-Tails itself carried a certain element of gambling.

The Uchiha clan's past is questionable, but the power of the Uchiha Cloud is able to protect the village...

Under such circumstances, Minato would have taken the actions he did today.

It's a test, and it won't allow the Nine-Tails' power to truly fall into Yun's hands.

"Then let's do as Yun says."

As Minato's voice faded, the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique were placed on the Nine-Tails.

Then Kushina smiled and said, "Now that things are settled, let's hurry back. I'm really worried about leaving those two kids at home."

Whirlpool Bell said with some guilt, "I wasn't able to help much with today's mission, I'm really sorry."

Kushina hugged her tightly: "What are you saying, Rin-neechan? This is the best-case scenario! If things hadn't gone smoothly, I would have needed Rin-neechan to save my life."

Rei Uzumaki smiled shyly: "Well, so the best outcome is that I didn't have any effect."

Seeing Kushina's smiling face, Minato smiled back.

He understood that cutting off a part of the Nine-Tails was also Kushina's way of repaying the favor she had done for Kusagakure during the mission she had taken with Kumo.

After all, they were her only remaining members of her clan...

……

With Minato's weight lifted again, Naruto and Karin, who were originally staying in the bedroom, were clearly not going to behave themselves anymore.

With the adults out of the house, it's clear that Naruto is the most powerful person in the family right now.

Shuriken, kunai, and Flying Thunder God kunai were scattered all over the ground, including an explosive tag...

Naruto spoke smugly about the things on the ground, while Karin frowned, wanting to dissuade him but knowing it was useless.

Kushina, who had just appeared with a smile on her face, froze instantly upon seeing this scene.

"Naruto!"

With a roar, Minato grabbed the explosive tag from the ground, and Kushina, who was in a berserk state, also walked over.

Immediately after a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork, Naruto obediently sat on the sofa, clutching his bottom.

Karin, standing to the side, looked at him and mocked, "I told you not to play with such dangerous things, but you wouldn't listen. You only behaved yourself as soon as Aunt Kushina came back. You really don't learn your lesson."

Naruto turned to him and glared angrily: "You didn't say that when I saw the technique my dad used on that specially made kunai!"

Karin shrugged: "That's because I knew it wasn't dangerous. I didn't touch the explosive tag, otherwise if I blew up the house, I think my mom would cry herself to death."

Just as Naruto was about to retort, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, turned his head in an instant, and was immediately stunned.

"puppy!!!"

"It's still a red puppy!"

Amidst the exclamations, Naruto instantly became interested, and the pain in his buttocks that had just subsided was now completely gone...

Naruto ran over, grabbed the little Nine-Tails, and held it up to him: "What an adorable red puppy..."

Just as Minato was about to say something, the Nine-Tails got angry and its nine tails curled up, slapping Naruto across the face several times.

"Where did this brat come from? I am a tailed beast! A nine-tailed fox! Not a dog!"

Naruto, stunned by the slaps, paused for a moment, and the little Nine-Tails in his hand fell to the ground and ran to the side.

Naruto then turned to Minato: "Dad, this little red dog can talk?! It has a tail?! And it can hit people?!"

Seeing that Naruto and Kurama spoke in the same tone, and even knowing that Kurama hadn't really gone all out, Minato couldn't say anything.

He simply explained, "Ahem, that's not a dog, it's a fox."

For the first time in its life, Kurama, the Nine-Tails, was called a dog. It looked at Naruto, its head instantly enlarging and opening its blood-red maw: "Kid! Call me a dog again and I'll eat you!!"

At that very moment, the Vajra Chains within Kushina's body surged forth, but were instantly slapped back by Yun.

"Don't worry, Kurama is just scaring Naruto."

As Yun's voice faded, the Nine-Tailed Fox glanced at him before shrinking its head and retracting it.

Kushina then slowly withdrew the Kongo Seal, and Rin Uzumaki, who had been on high alert, also breathed a sigh of relief.

The power that the Nine-Tails just unleashed was truly terrifying.

At this moment, Naruto, who had just been stunned, came to his senses, thought for a moment, and bowed ninety degrees to Kurama.

"Um... Lord Fox, I misread it just now, I'm sorry!"

The extremely sincere apology made the lying-down Nine-Tails open its eyes, and it seemed that what it had seen today was quite different from what it had seen before.

After glancing at Naruto, Kurama reluctantly withdrew its gaze and then closed its eyes to doze off.

No matter what, I don't care about human affairs.

Seeing that Kurama was ignoring him, Naruto turned to Yun and tugged at his sleeve: "Brother Yun, can I play with your fox master for a few days?"

Yun shook her head slightly and said, "The Nine-Tailed Fox is much older than your great-great-great-grandfather, and it doesn't like playing with little kids. But you did use the honorific 'adult' correctly."
