Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

After a chaotic scene, the father and son, both sporting two large bumps on their heads, finally sat down at the dining table at noon.

At this moment, Jiraiya was clearly no longer receiving the same treatment as before. He looked at the juice in front of him and smacked his lips, saying, "Ku...Kushina, I...I should be able to...drink, right?"

Kushina raised her head slightly, looking directly at Jiraiya: "There are two underage children here, and both of them are ninjas. It's one thing for the teacher not to abide by the three prohibitions of ninjas, but are you going to corrupt the next generation?"

Uh!

For a moment, Jiraiya dared not speak.

Meanwhile, Naruto, seeing his mother getting angry, kept his head down and kept rummaging through his food. He finished quickly and immediately put down his chopsticks, saying he was done eating.

Then, he dashed off to his bedroom.

Seeing his son flee in panic, Minato thought for a moment and then explained, "I had a discussion with my teacher and Yun about the situation of the perfect Jinchuriki, so..."

Kushina paused, then looked at Minato: "If you want Naruto to become a Jinchūriki, I will absolutely not agree!!"

At this moment, Yun, who was standing to the side, asked with a smile, "Is the reason you don't want Naruto to become a Jinchūriki because he will be isolated? But in fact, this factor doesn't apply to Naruto, does it?"

"The existence of the Nine-Tails in Konoha should still exist in the time of Madara Uchiha, right? That was many years ago now."

Jiraiya looked at Kushina and sighed: "Having traveled outside for so many years, I feel that the ninja world has become increasingly unstable in recent years. On the other hand, if we can get along well, this power can be a source of support for Naruto."

After she finished speaking, Kushina remained silent.

As a Jinchūriki, she was well aware of the suffering that Jinchūriki would face.

But she was also well aware of the short-lived peace in this world, and she remembered clearly the scene when the Hidden Cloud Village kidnapped her when she was a child.

"call……"

At this moment, Minato let out a long breath, looked at the three of them, and said, "It's too early to talk about these things now. It's still uncertain whether Naruto can become friends with Kurama. In any case... let's at least wait until he graduates before making any plans."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kushina put the question out of her mind. There was still time; she didn't necessarily have to make a decision right now.

……

After finishing his meal and drinks, while Kushina was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen, Jiraiya secretly took out a bottle of sake and filled himself a glass.

After glancing at Yun, he said, "With your current reputation in the ninja world, I've almost forgotten your age. Minors can't drink. I'll treat you next time!"

Yun smiled and waved his hand dismissively, then asked, "Jiraiya-sama invited me, so there must be something he wants to say, right? As one of the former Legendary Sannin, he certainly has a lot of experience to share."

Jiraiya rubbed his stomach after downing a cup, and smiled: "There's no need to talk about experience. As the creator of the Sea of ​​Ending, I have no intention of being presumptuous."

As he spoke, Jiraiya's gaze gradually turned serious, and he said, "As someone who fought against Uzumaki Sora, there may be some things you are not clear about. I have read your mission report since I returned."

"What I can tell you is Uzumaki Sora's Wood Release. That so-called giant wooden figure is not the true peak power of Wood Release!"

At this moment, Minato, who was standing to the side, also said, "And the teacher brought back some information. It seems that the reason why Uzumaki Sora specifically asked to fight against Kumo this time is because Iwagakure hired an organization called Akatsuki."

Uchiha Yun frowned slightly: "Has Uzumaki Sora joined this organization called Akatsuki? In that case, this guy has a place to stay."

Jiraiya frowned slightly: "Don't be careless. Judging from the First Hokage's Wood Release, the Wood Release Technique is not the strongest Wood Release ninjutsu. Combined with Sage Mode, the Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands has power that far surpasses the Wood Release Technique."

Minato, standing to the side, said with a troubled expression, "I am also familiar with the records in the documents. I didn't realize how powerful it was when it was originally written on paper, but after the change in the terrain of the Sea of ​​End, that power is too strong."

"Now I can only be thankful that Uzumaki Sora doesn't know any immortal techniques yet, or rather, he hasn't traded any immortal techniques."

As Minato finished speaking, Jiraiya thought of his encounter with Uzumaki Sora.

I know your past perfectly well, and I can guess a thing or two about your future.

But your bargaining chips don't interest me at all. Whether it's the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku or your own series of ninjutsu, your power in this world is truly insignificant.

Jiraiya frowned slightly: "There's one thing that Uzumaki Sora might already know. It seems that my next journey must begin with finding Tsunade as soon as possible."

Tsunade?

Minato paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there... anything related to Lady Tsunade in this?"

Jiraiya nodded: "Minato, you have already learned the Sage Techniques of Mount Myōboku. From the documents, you should also know that Sage Techniques are not only learned on Mount Myōboku. The three sacred sites—Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryūchi Cave—each have their own unique Sage Techniques."

"I don't know where the First Hokage's Sage Mode came from. But the Summoning Contract of Shikkotsu Forest is with Tsunade. Therefore, if Uzumaki Sora wants to reach the level of the First Hokage, he will inevitably have to go to Tsunade to complete the deal."

At this point, Jiraiya sighed as if he had thought of something, and then murmured, "Tsunade... she has too many flaws in her heart."

Minato, who hadn't heard clearly, asked, "Lady Tsunade, do you also know Sage Mode?"

Jiraiya shook his head: "No, but the summoning contract of Shikkotsu Forest is with her. Although the Sage Techniques of the three great holy lands have all been enhanced in terms of ninjutsu and taijutsu, their focuses are not the same. That's why I said that if you want to reach the level of the First Hokage, you will definitely need the Sage Techniques of Shikkotsu Forest."

Yun, who was standing nearby, then asked, "I heard that Lady Tsunade's summoning beasts can restore people's injuries and stamina. So, does that mean that's also the focus of Shikkotsu Forest Sage Technique?"

Jiraiya nodded: "Although it's just my guess, it's most likely to be true."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun fell into deep thought.

In the original work that I remember, there was no explanation as to where the Great Pillar's Sage Mode came from.

However, considering that Naruto inherited the Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku and Kabuto inherited the Sage Mode from Ryūchi Cave, the probability that Shikkotsu Forest also possesses the inheritance of Sage Techniques is quite high.

At this moment, Jiraiya's reminder also enlightened Yun about the different focuses of Sage Techniques.

If, because of this slight difference, the final version of the True Thousand Hands is exactly the same as the Yamato version I remember, that would be a bit ridiculous.

Tsunade?

It seems we need to hurry up and find the clones. Jiraiya was right about one thing: Tsunade has far too many flaws in her heart.

During this period, she probably still had hemophobia...

"Teacher, is the Wood Release technique that the First Hokage used, as recorded in the literature, really that powerful?"

Minato thought of the power of that technique described in the records; even using words like "earth-shattering" wouldn't be an exaggeration...

Jiraiya gave a wry smile: "Although I am indeed your teacher, at my age, it is obviously impossible for me to have actually witnessed the battle at the Valley of the End. I'm afraid only my teacher, the Third Hokage, and that old guy from Iwagakure have seen that kind of power."

Minato chuckled awkwardly at these words: "It's probably because he witnessed that power firsthand that Onoki of Iwagakure hired Akatsuki to test the power of the Clouds. But even he probably didn't expect that Uzumaki Sora would possess such formidable power."

Jiraiya, sitting opposite him, filled his glass once more, drank it all in one gulp, and then put the bottle away.

"Minato, I was originally planning to stay in the village a little longer, but now it seems impossible. I have to find Tsunade before Uzumaki Sora does."

"Otherwise, with his intelligence-gathering ability to know the past and future, plus the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, Lord Slug of Shikkotsu Forest might very well be bewitched by him."

At this point, Jiraiya looked at Uchiha Yun: "By then, even if you were to extract the complete Nine-Tails with your near-resurrection ability, it would only be a repeat of Madara Uchiha's failure at the Valley of the End."

These words thwarted Minato's original plan, and it seemed that was indeed the case.

At that time, Susanoo will be equipped with the complete Nine-Tails, and Uzumaki Sora on the opposite side will possess all the power of the First Hokage, which is a replica of the Valley of the End.

If the opponent were to add the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allows him to teleport wooden figures, then Yun's only chance of winning would be the Death Gate of the Eight Gates.

In fact, this is also what Shuimen is considering now.

Given Uzumaki Sora's intelligence capabilities, the other party must also be aware of Yun's eye technique that allows for instant recovery.

If, during the one-day buffer period, this technique affects an ally for some reason within that day, then that day will be the best opportunity for Vortex Sky to activate.

At that time, the power of the Death Gate in the Eight Gates Formation truly became a one-time use.

Thinking of this, Minato looked at Yun and said, "That kind of eye technique that can instantly recover is somewhat similar to space-time ninjutsu. With this eye technique, Yun, you should also have the talent for space-time ninjutsu. So... would you like to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

???

Yun was stunned. Was he going to imitate the Flying Thunder God Technique?

Is this an attempt to even out their combat power in normal circumstances? But if they can learn it so easily, won't their disguise be exposed?

If you learn it gradually, the time frame can be a bit tricky to manage...

After all, in my memory, only Tobirama Senju and Minato Minato knew the Flying Thunder God Technique in this world.

After hesitating for a moment, Yun asked, "How long did it take the Hokage to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

This piqued Jiraiya's interest, and he said with great pride, "Minato only took a month to master the Flying Thunder God Technique. Space-time ninjutsu is different from other ninjutsu; talent plays a huge role in it."

As he spoke, Jiraiya winked at Yun: "How about it? Want to give it a try? You're known as the number one genius of the Uchiha clan, after all."

Yun gave an awkward laugh. A month?

So... is it better for me to spend two months, or twenty-nine to learn the basics?

To be honest, the Flying Thunder God Technique formula for my main body has not yet been finalized.

Seeing Yun hesitate, Minato smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Don't feel pressured. For your strength, learning the Flying Thunder God Technique is just icing on the cake. As for not having the talent for space-time ninjutsu, that's alright."

Yun nodded and looked at Minato, saying, "Then I'll leave it to the Hokage."

Minato smiled and said, "After all, the Hokage's job is very busy. Tomorrow I will write the Flying Thunder God Technique on a scroll and teach it to you. You can try to sense the spacetime coordinates first. When I have some free time, I will personally guide you."

Uh!

Yun nodded awkwardly again. "It's fine if you don't come to provide guidance. But if you come personally to oversee things, I'm afraid my identity will be exposed..."

……

Under the cover of night, Uchiha Yun and Jiraiya left Minato's house, and after leaving, the two walked side by side.

After a long silence, Jiraiya spoke first: "Actually, I should thank you, Uchiha kid."

Ok?

Yun looked up and thanked herself. Thanked herself for forcing three generations of old men to go back to their retirement homes?

"call……"

Jiraiya exhaled, looked at the clouds, and said, "After the Third Shinobi World War, Tsunade had a big fight with the old man and left the village. Later, Orochimaru defected, and I also chose to leave the village for some reasons..."

“You were still young. You were probably only about four years old when World War III ended. Back then, the village wasn’t as full of light as it is now.”

"The existence of darkness is something Tsunade cannot understand, and neither can I. Orochimaru's talk of ninjutsu and immortality at the memorial stone was perhaps his final resolution."

"Although I don't know exactly how many people here are at your age... but as things stand now, the old man is living a peaceful retirement, and no one from the other four great ninja villages dares to provoke Konoha anymore. All the clans are living in harmony."

"Thank you for these..."

Yun looked at Jiraiya and smiled: "Although I don't know how detestable the darkness was before, many changes should have started after Danzo, who was known as the Darkness of Konoha, died and Root was destroyed, right?"

"This fundamental change is enough to demonstrate the Third Hokage's incompetence, isn't it?"

Then Yun said in a deep voice, "The incident caused by the remnants of Root not long ago resulted in the dismissal and imprisonment of two advisors, and the retirement of the third generation. I suppose Lord Jiraiya is aware of this now that he has returned."

Jiraiya chuckled in exasperation at these words, reaching out to pat Yun's head, but after a moment's thought, he patted her shoulder instead.

"Why do you speak so sarcastically, kid? I went to see the old man today. At first, I thought it was a tragedy for a once-great man to retire like this, but when I saw him playing happily with his grandson, I thought that this ending might not be so bad."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya winked at Yun: "So, Yun, who didn't get to drink any wine, would you like to come with me to the housewarming party?"
