Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Hokage Building.

Having finished his day's work, Minato prepared to leave.

Standing at the door, he thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Shikaku, although my teacher is sometimes unreliable and has many flaws, my stance has always been Konoha. I hope you understand that."

Minato's words startled Shikaku, who was still organizing documents. He then nodded seriously and replied, "I understand."

After smiling at him, Minato turned and left.

Shikaku smiled, realizing he was being a bit too sensitive. After all, with a series of plans in place, Konoha couldn't do without Uchiha Kumo.

It seems to be a coincidence that the power of Konoha today is like that of the First Hokage's era, with everything based on Uchiha Kumo.

……

Meanwhile, after finishing a day of training for her students, Yun returned home.

As soon as he opened the door, he asked, "Why hasn't Nine-Tails come back yet?"

Izumi, standing nearby, retorted, "Bro... I trained with you all day, and you're asking me?"

Yun was a little embarrassed: "I played all over the village for a month and still wasn't enough. After being locked up for so many years, I guess I'm going crazy."

Izumi was somewhat puzzled: "The Nine-Tails, which is known as the source of calamity, doesn't seem that scary. We haven't encountered any calamities in all these days... Why is it imprisoned?"

"laugh!"

Yun scoffed dismissively: "Because of unfulfilled desires, humanity has set its sights on the powerful Tailed Beasts. In this way, the calamities caused by humanity's own desires are ultimately placed on the heads of the Tailed Beasts."

Izumi, who was a little confused, paused for a moment. Then, Uchiha Hazuki's voice came from the kitchen, and the two washed their hands and ate.

……

As night fell, Uchiha Un looked out the window.

Nagato and Konan have begun to accept the will of Sora's clone. At this point, obtaining Nagato's medium might be a piece of cake, and the Rinnegan could be obtained in a single transaction.

However... now the Rinnegan gives me two options.

Possessing all the characteristics of Indra's chakra and Madara Uchiha, the Rinnegan will naturally begin to develop after obtaining Ashura's chakra.

By trading with Nagato, you can certainly obtain the Rinnegan, but you may not necessarily obtain Ashura's chakra.

When Indra's chakra and Ashura's chakra converge, all phenomena arise. These phenomena are not necessarily limited to the Rinnegan.

Furthermore, the previous deal with Erzhuzi, and the claim about the strongest secret scroll, were also things that concerned him.

In the original story I remember, there were two main characters. If Sasuke has any of the characteristics, Naruto must also have them.

There's one more thing...

The battle between the main body and the clone allowed him to achieve most of his objectives.

However, its shortcomings also emerged.

Naruto is still young, so we should try to fool him as quickly as possible. It's likely that Minato wouldn't have bothered to explain the trading space to Naruto, who is still a child.

But the other Kakashi is now in real trouble.

Kakashi's Kamui Eye was the key to countering Obito. Even Obito, who later became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki in the memories, had his Hollowfication ability directly reduced. If the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki also had Hollowfication, Madara wouldn't have needed to appear.

Frowning, Yun pondered what information could attract Kakashi's attention.

Just then, Izumi's voice rang out from outside the room: "Brother! The Hokage is looking for you!"

???

Looking for myself at this hour? Is it some kind of clueless idiot trying to destroy the world again?

Just outrageous!

……

Two hours ago...

Beside the river in the back mountains of Konoha, the little Nine-Tails is enjoying the freedom while lying on a rock.

Although it was annoyed that its body couldn't return to its original size, it had no choice but to abide by the conditions it had agreed to when it thought of that Uchiha brat's eyes.

After all, being able to bask in the sun, run at full speed, and roam all over Konoha for a month—Kushina's original body is probably bursting with envy right now!

You have to understand that even when he was in his perfect form back then, the first thing he did when he came to Konoha was to be beaten by Hashirama Senju. It was incredibly frustrating!

Who would have thought that now he could not only travel around freely, but that Konoha Jonin named Guy, whom he had previously fooled, would now have to call him "Master" when he sees him.

The little nine-tailed fox, who had been resting with its eyes closed, couldn't help but smile when it thought of this. Its fangs looked incredibly cute against its small size.

"what!!"

The sudden exclamation made Kurama frown; the familiar chakra it sensed made it feel somewhat disgusted.

"Lord Fox!"

Then a blond-haired brat and two little kids arrived in front of the stone where the Nine-Tailed Fox was resting with its eyes closed.

"Lord Fox, do you still remember me?"

The little Nine-Tails, its eyes slightly open, glanced at Naruto: "Kushina's son, if you have nothing to do, go away and don't bother me."

Naruto rubbed his hands together. "Um... can I hug you?"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox turned its head away, not wanting to pay attention to the little yellow-haired guy who had previously called himself a red puppy.

Shikamaru, who was standing nearby, rubbed his arms and said, "A talking fox? Naruto, you know that. Why are you suddenly so cold?"

Sasuke looked at Kurama and said, "It's because of its chakra. Why do you call a fox with such power, Naruto, 'Fox Lord'?"

Naruto scratched his head awkwardly: "I don't know either, but Lord Fox belongs to Brother Yun."

Naruto then shamelessly moved closer again: "Fox Lord, may I hug you?"

"Slap! Slap slap slap..."

With a swift, continuous swing, Kujo slapped Naruto's outstretched hand back.

This really angered Erzhuzi: "It's just a pet that Brother Yun keeps. Even though it can talk and has chakra, shouldn't it have some self-awareness as a pet?"

As he spoke, Erzhuzi reached out to grab it, but was slapped back by a claw.

"hiss!"

The slapped Zhu Zi was furious, and at that moment, the Nine-Tails also stood up.

He looked at the three brats with a mocking expression and said, "You three brats, I am not Uchiha Yun's pet. If I weren't afraid of trouble, I would eat you right now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kurama leaped up and headed towards Konoha.

"You damn fox! Don't run away!"

"Lord Fox, don't run away..."

……

Chapter 184: Speculation on the Degree of Change

When Yun met Minato, he originally thought they would be at the Hokage Building, discussing which idiot had caused trouble for Konoha again.

The meeting place turned out to be a commercial street, not a barbecue restaurant, but the commercial street management office of the garrison.

"I'm so sorry, it's my fault for not keeping a close eye on him."

"I'm so sorry, I will compensate you for your losses."

"Lord Hokage, we didn't know it would be your son..."

"Itachi, is this your younger brother? He's nothing like your steady personality."

"Lord Shikaku, we are all from the same clan, so there's no need for me to compensate for my deer antlers and medicinal herbs. However, it seems your son has inherited his mother's wisdom?"

Before I even entered the door, I was greeted with a chorus of apologies.

Then when Yun walked in, she found the three little guys and a fox standing obediently in a row with their heads down, being scolded...

At this moment, Kurama felt a surge of frustration. If it hadn't witnessed Uchiha Kumo's power and hadn't grasped the underlying principles, it would have already gone berserk.

As soon as it sensed Yun's arrival, the little nine-tailed fox instantly jumped onto Yun's shoulder and said, "Yun, it was these brats who kept chasing me. They knocked over that stall; I didn't even touch it!"

Yun reached out and tapped the little nine-tailed fox's head to shut it up, then looked at the several aggrieved people in front of her, as well as the parents who had been called over.

At this moment, Shikaku spoke up, "Yun, isn't it a bit inappropriate to let such a dangerous power as the Nine-Tails run around like this..."

Minato smiled helplessly: "When I cut the Nine-Tails, I originally planned to have Yun control it with his Sharingan, but because of Yun's reasons, I've been letting it run wild for a while."

Of the three parents, only Itachi remained silent, and among the aggrieved parties on the other side, it seemed that only the Nara family had some knowledge.

The name Nine-Tailed Fox reminded him of some terrifying records, and at this moment, the little Nine-Tailed Fox lying on Yun's shoulder had nine tails swaying incessantly behind it.

"A...a nine-tailed fox?!"

The exclamations drew the attention of the other victims, but because the Nine-Tails' rampage had not yet occurred, few of them recognized the Nine-Tails at that moment.

"Isn't it just a talking fox?"

"Could it be Lord Yun's ninja hound? No, a ninja fox?"

"Speaking of which, apart from being a bit cold when you get close, this fox is quite beautiful."

……

Aside from the initial mention of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which made Little Nine-Tailed frown, the subsequent words of several aggrieved parties left it somewhat bewildered.

Nine-Tails has never appeared in a shrunken form, as such a state is not comfortable for it.

But now, compared to freedom, the discomfort of shrinking is no longer important.

It was the first time I had heard such a humiliating compliment from an ordinary human, yet I sensed that the human in front of me, apart from the first one, harbored no ill will.

This is indeed the first time such a situation has occurred, aside from that old man.

"Don't look at things with prejudice, Shikaku. How much effort did we put into eliminating prejudice to transform the Uchiha clan of Konoha seven years ago into the Uchiha clan of today?"

As Yun spoke, he looked at Minato and said, "Hokage-sama, I did not control the Nine-Tails during the battle with Uzumaki Sora, but the role the Nine-Tails played in that battle should be enough to make it a member of Konoha, right?"

Minato paused for a moment, then hesitated.

He knew about the condition that Yun had agreed to give Kurama relative freedom in this battle. At that time, he thought that with his own Flying Thunder God Technique and Yun's existence, Kurama was not a threat.
