Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

A single, simple word, with absolutely no explanation regarding the origin of the mission...

But the word "immortal" made Minato pause for a moment.

"Information about your immortality has been circulating in the black market for a long time. But I don't believe that true immortality exists in this world. Immortality is just a matter of not finding the right tactics."

Minato smiled and continued, "Of course, this duel between you and Yun is not a life-or-death struggle, so Konoha will not implement any specific tactics against you."

Sora slightly raised his head, looked at Minato and smiled: "There seem to be some very interesting changes in Uchiha Yun's body, and the Hokage seems to have given him some interesting powers in order to give him a better chance of winning in the future battle."

A slight jolt ran through me. Was it really an ability similar to foreseeing the future?

The fact that a portion of the Nine-Tails' power was cut from Kushina's seal and given to Yun happened only last night.

Today, under Kakashi's surveillance, Uzumaki Sora spent the whole day playing with the woman opposite him and did not meet with any suspicious persons.

The four people—Kushina, Rin, and Kumo—were the ones who experienced yesterday firsthand, and had not met Sora Uzumaki in the day before this moment.

"Kong's intelligence capabilities always amaze me. It was only last night, yet you already know about it."

As he spoke, Minato looked directly at Sora Uzumaki: "So Sora's intelligence abilities... are they precognition?!"

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

However, Minato couldn't glean anything from the other person's expression, and for a moment, he was also unsure of what to do.

However... his words at this moment made Xiao Nan, who was standing to the side, think about the ability to foresee the future.

Xiao Nan frowned slightly as she pondered. If such an ability had no limitations, it would be truly terrifying.

"call……"

Minato relaxed his previously serious gaze and looked at Sora with a smile, saying, "Regardless of whether Sora's purpose this time is a mission from another country's ninja village, Konoha has agreed to this duel."

Uzumaki Sora smiled and said, "So that the other villages' original apprehension will turn into fear? In this way, Konoha can avoid being targeted."

"After all, when Hashirama Senju was still alive, Konoha had two heroes in the ninja world, and no one dared to offend it. Such a decision is indeed beneficial to Konoha."

Minato glanced at Sora and Konan: "With your strength, even Konoha might not be able to withstand the aftershocks of the collision. Take your girlfriends and play for another two days. I'll choose a venue for the duel in two days."

Two days?

Yun thought for a moment and replied, "The Valley of the End... how about this location?"

Minato shook his head: "As the site of the duel between the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, it's already considered a landmark of the Land of Fire. Impossible..."

Thinking about this, Minato was also in a dilemma. If the two's strength was compared to that of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, then it was clear that there was nowhere in the entire Hidden Leaf Village for them to fight.

One of the original purposes was to demonstrate their strength to other ninja villages, so it couldn't be a small-scale operation.

So……

"We'll set off tomorrow at the Land of Fire's coast. Kakashi will give you the address tomorrow."

seaside?

Kong smiled and nodded, saying that only the seaside was the right place.

……

Minato then ate a little something and got up to leave, while Konan, who hadn't said much, didn't pay any attention to Minato's words about his girlfriend.

Instead, he looked at Kong and said, "You were able to achieve your goal so easily because you already knew that Konoha would agree to this in order to intimidate the other four great ninja villages, right?"

Can you see it with your abilities?

Sora looked at Konan and smiled: "It seems that both you and the Hokage have always been fascinated by my intelligence-gathering abilities. However, this kind of probing is a bit too hasty..."

"Even if I tell you now that I can indeed see the future, what can you do? Make me verify this ability before you and Nagato will completely believe me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Nan, who had been exposed, showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

After a moment's thought, Konan replied earnestly, "If you really have that ability, and your will and purpose are the same, I might be able to help you persuade Nagato."

Sora shook his head slightly: "The future is not fixed. Minato Namikaze's fate should have been sealed seven years ago..."

The words, spoken without a clear answer, left Xiao Nan stunned.

Was Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, destined to die seven years ago?

Seven years ago?

What caused his death?

How was it changed?

Uzumaki Sora's Flying Thunder God Technique was probably the result of a deal he made with the Fourth Hokage around that time, which changed the Fourth Hokage's inevitable fate of dying.

So... what about myself and Nagato?

After we get back, we'll have to discuss this with Nagato separately. What if the Rinnegan wasn't Nagato's in the first place...?

That situation... is far too serious!

Konan's gaze gradually turned serious. As the only person Nagato trusted, Konan already possessed the Rinnegan when she first met Nagato.

I remember when Nagato's Rinnegan first erupted, he told Yahiko about the awakening of those eyes.

If the person behind this had already set up the scheme so early on, then the scheme is far too big!

……

Another day passed, and at noon the next day, at the gates of Konoha.

Because the location was chosen by the sea, the departure time was set for noon today due to the distance.

At this moment, Uchiha Yun and Uzumaki Sora met for the 'first time', and beside Uchiha Yun, Shisui activated his Mangekyou Sharingan as soon as they met and looked at Uzumaki Sora.

Following closely behind were Uchiha Itachi and Kagami, while on Uzumaki Sora's side, there was only an indifferent Konan.

"Uzumaki Sora, is my Mangekyou Sharingan still working?" Itachi stared indifferently at Sora.

Kong smiled and said, "It's just a fair trade. You signed the contract, which means you agreed to the trade. These eyes... to be honest, aren't very useful."

"After all, prolonged use will reduce eyesight. Speaking of which, I would be more interested in the abilities of Uchiha Yun. However... it's not like there aren't any alternatives."

These words made Itachi frown slightly, and the three-scythe kaleidoscope in his eyes quietly appeared.

However, Shisui stopped him: "Kakashi has already given you the coordinates of the duel location. If there are no problems, Itachi and Kou will accompany Yun on the journey."

Uzumaki Sora nodded, then looked at his own body. The little nine-tailed fox on his shoulder was also staring at him with wide eyes.

"Using the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails' chakra output, and then having Minato Namikaze solidify and seal it with a sealing technique. In this way, a small Nine-Tails can be obtained."

Sora smiled and said, "In the event of an explosion, it would be possible to recreate the battle at the Valley of the End, where Madara Uchiha used Susanoo to impersonate the Nine-Tails, right? That is indeed a pretty good idea. The only thing that can counter Wood Release is Susanoo impersonating the Nine-Tails."

Yun, who was opposite him, smiled and said, "Actually, I think we might not need the power of the Nine-Tails, but since the Hokage is so kind, I accepted."

"I heard you have the ability to resurrect, so this time, you'd better not let me kill you completely!"

Sora replied, “As far as we know, there is currently no being in this world that can completely kill me. Neither the Eight Gates that you rely on, nor Susanoo with the Nine-Tails attached.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia, who had been standing indifferently beside Yun, frowned.

Is this guy's intelligence-gathering ability really as the Hokage described—the ability to foresee the future? He even knows exactly what power the cloud is relying on this time.

As the Hokage, Minato cannot easily leave the village, and he will not personally go to this battle either.

The reason why Kagami, who possesses Wood Release, and Itachi Uchiha, who has the same ability, were arranged to go together was to guard against the Nine-Tails' rebellion.

The other... is that if Yun is defeated, he can temporarily restrain Uzumaki Sora, allowing the Hokage to instantly arrive on the battlefield using the Flying Thunder God Technique and bring them all back.

but……

Jia knew very well that if Yun were to be defeated, then his and Itachi's mission would be to ensure that Yun could return to the village, even if it meant risking their lives!

……

Three hours ago, at the Hokage Building.

"Lord Hokage, I can go in Itachi's place."

Shisui's voice rang out, but Minato shook his head and looked at him: "Shisui, can your kaleidoscope... still see clearly?"

For a moment, Shisui froze on the spot.

On the day he took over as clan chief, one of his eyes naturally began to go blind.

The subsequent war with the Hidden Cloud Village further exacerbated his vision problems.

Minato sighed: "Your only ability is illusion, while the other party possesses the same level of Mangekyou Sharingan as you. You can't even be sure if you can plant the seed."

“In this situation, Itachi, who also possesses the Amaterasu ability, is the best choice.”

Itachi nodded and said indifferently, "Don't worry, if anything unexpected happens, I will make sure he comes back no matter what."

Minato's gaze turned grave as he said, "Last night's encounter revealed that their intelligence capabilities have once again exceeded my expectations. Based on this, it's quite clear that they likely know everything about both the Nine-Tails and the Death Gate of the Eight Inner Gates."

"Given such known intelligence, the fact that they still want to fight this battle suggests that the opponent is very likely to be complacent and even confident of victory."

“If Yun loses, I can’t guarantee that the other party won’t take the opportunity to completely eliminate Yun, who is still growing. Because what the other party said last night clearly shows that they already know about the changes in Yun’s body.”

Kakashi, who also went to the Naga Shrine, nodded: "Yun, whose bloodline has returned to its ancestral form and whose ultimate power may even reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths, may be the target of their mission this time!"

Minato sighed and nodded after hearing this: "Uzumaki Sora has my Flying Thunder God Technique, and he has no fixed abode, or we don't know his location yet. In that case... we won't even have any way to deal with him after we succeed."

Minato then looked at Kakashi and said, "After we set off, Kakashi, you and Guy will stay at the back of the group to provide support. Take my Flying Thunder God Kunai with you, and use the reverse summoning of ninja dogs for communication."

Ah Kai?!

Seeing Kakashi's confusion, Minato replied, "Gai's power has now surpassed that of his father Dai. The power of the Eight Gates' Death Gate is also the stake in this gamble. In fact, after last night, I already regretted agreeing to this duel."

These words made Shikaku frown slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Because if the true purpose of Vortex Sky is to kill the cloud that is still growing, then whether you agree or not, you cannot stop it.

"We don't know what Uzumaki Sora's future goals are, given his ability to foresee the future. But if Yun, who has the potential to become the Sage of Six Paths, dies, then no one will be able to stop him in the future!"

"I hope you understand this, Kakashi!"

As Minato's voice faded, Kakashi's hands were already clenched tightly.

He understood the meaning behind his teacher's words perfectly, and if necessary, he would inform Kai about the matter; the decision ultimately rested with Kai.

Given Kai's personality, for the sake of the village and the future, death wouldn't matter to him, given his daily training that pushes the limits of human endurance...

But... is this sending your comrades to their deaths?

In an instant, under the stimulation of emotion, Kakashi's Sharingan under his forehead bandage connected, and the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared.
