Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

After paying, Sora gave a portion of loquat to Juzo, and then the two of them turned and left.

"Ku, since you're no longer looking for Tsunade, why didn't you just say so? We don't have any conflict with him anymore, right?" Juzo Biwa asked疑惑地问道.

"Conflict has always existed..."

As he spoke, Sora glanced at Juzo: "If your strength is insufficient, I hope that the comfort of these past few years hasn't caused your brain to degenerate. Given Kirigakure's policies back then, idiots shouldn't have survived."

"After the battle with Uchiha Kumo, the name Uzumaki Sora will be in conflict with the entire Hidden Leaf Village. If Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, was confident, he would definitely have chosen a different place to strike."

"As for the purpose... although it's no longer necessary, sometimes just traveling can be quite boring. Warming up is a good reason enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pipa Juzo, who had been called brainless, showed no dissatisfaction.

Similarly, starting six months ago, he was also shocked by the power of emptiness.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya, restless and impatient, put down the money and instantly disappeared.

Just as the shopkeeper was about to call out, he found that there was no one in front of him. He picked up the money from the table and put the takoyaki he had just made into his mouth.

……

In the hotel district, amidst the gambling dens.

Tsunade, who had already lost a large sum of money, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had won for almost half a year before and was almost scared to death.

The forthright Tsunade looked at the dealer in front of her: "Again!"

As he spoke, he reached behind him and grabbed.

However, Shizune, who was holding Tuntun behind him, looked heartbroken and held onto the money box tightly with both hands.

"Lady Tsunade, this is the last bit of money we have after we've paid off our debts!"

"We're having bad luck today, so...we'll try somewhere else tomorrow! Our luck will come before we change locations!"

"Is it okay?"

With a face full of sorrow, Jingyin seemed to be recalling the days when she was chased by creditors everywhere.

After finally winning for half a year and dealing with the creditors who were chasing after them, there was still some money left over. How could they possibly give it all away again?

Do not!

I'd rather die than go back to those days of going hungry nine times in three days...

We must stop Lady Tsunade!

However, the next moment, Tsunade gently exerted force and snatched the money box away.

"Tsunade... Lady... T_T..."

Ignoring the whimpering Shizune, Tsunade slammed the money box onto the gambling table without hesitation and slammed her hand on the surface: "This time, I'm going for the big one!"

Suddenly, Shizune collapsed to the ground behind him, her hands trembling uncontrollably as she held the little pig, Tun Tun: "This time... I can't protect you either, Tun Tun."

The casino manager across the street rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement. This hand would bring in a considerable sum!

However... a minute later.

Looking at the numbers on the dice on the gambling table, not only was the gambling den manager dumbfounded, but Tsunade herself was equally bewildered.

How could my luck have improved again in just one day?

Tsunade frowned slightly, stretched, and said, "I'm a little tired after playing all day. Shizune, let's go."

Shizune, who was behind him, was also a little confused when she saw the dice on the table, but she quickly came to her senses and asked the people at the gambling house for the money she had won.

Then, carrying two money boxes and tucked Tun Tun along, they walked out of the gambling den.

At that moment, Tsunade, who had just stepped out, frowned slightly as she looked at the guy running towards her from outside the street.

Is something really going to happen?

Jiraiya actually found his way here.

"Tsunade... Tsunade..."

Panting, Jiraiya leaned on his knees and said, "I've been looking for you for half a year... Why is it that every time... you seem to know someone is looking for you and run away beforehand?"

Tsunade frowned and didn't answer, but asked directly, "What do you want with me? Speak."

Jiraiya was taken aback, then looked at him and asked, "So heartless? But now is not the time to talk about this; we need to leave here quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya grabbed Tsunade and left.

Tsunade simply frowned and said nothing. She knew her own luck, considering that Jiraiya had said he had been searching for over half a year.

So... there might be a reason why we can't stay here.

Without another word, the three of them left the inn street and the town, randomly choosing a direction and running off.

As the group left, the figures of Uzumaki Sora and Biwa Juzo appeared on the roof.

"Was that Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha that we've been looking for? Why does she look so young?"

Kong smiled and replied, "Yin Seal is a sealing technique used on oneself. It fine-tunes chakra, achieving the effects of preserving youth, improving physical functions, and keeping the body in its prime."

As he spoke, Kong glanced at the two people who were quickly leaving in the distance, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go, follow them."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them vanished from the spot in an instant.

Meanwhile, after leaving the town, Tsunade had already broken free from Jiraiya's grasp.

After stopping, Tsunade asked, "We're out of town now. What do you want to tell me?"

Jiraiya glanced back in the direction he had come from and asked in a deep voice, "You should know about the battle that took place half a year ago along the coast of the Land of Fire, a place now known as the Sea of ​​the End, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade nodded slightly.

Six months ago, after her gambling luck suddenly improved, she obtained a piece of information that had already become common knowledge at a gold exchange.

"Who is that person who can use Wood Release?"

Jiraiya replied in a deep voice, "Uzumaki Sora."

swirl?

The appearance of this surname surprised Tsunade. Was it a member of the clan who had fled abroad after the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools?

So why did he go against Konoha?

and many more!

As for the Uzumaki clan... why are they able to use such powerful Wood Release techniques?

It's important to know that even as the granddaughter of the First Hokage, she didn't inherit the power of Wood Release!

At this moment, Jiraiya spoke up, "Let's go to the next town first. Even here, I don't feel at ease. Although that guy's intelligence capabilities are terrifying, staying here for a day shouldn't be a problem."

At this point, Jiraiya suddenly looked at Tsunade with a grin and said, "Old friend, it's been so many years since we last met, you have to buy me a drink no matter what!"

Jiraiya glanced at Shizune behind Tsunade, who was carrying two money boxes, and said, "And it seems like your luck has turned around? You won so much?"

Shizune grabbed the money box and looked at it warily: "Lord Jiraiya, this is our living expenses."

Jiraiya waved his hand: "Don't worry... let's go."

……

Izakaya.

Having arrived at another market town before nightfall, Jiraiya and his two companions were drinking.

Silently listening from the side, not daring to utter a sound.

"call……"

After letting out a long sigh, Jiraiya took a sip of his drink: "After traveling all day, even if that guy can foresee the past and future, there should be some limitations. At least... I can get a good rest tonight."

Tsunade, who was opposite him, frowned slightly. Could she foresee the past and the future?

After a moment's thought, Tsunade said, "You should know that my gambling luck involves some bad things. But I've been winning money for the past six months."

These words surprised Jiraiya. Half a year ago? That should have been when he had just left the village to start looking for Tsunade.

In other words, from that time onwards, Sora Uzumaki was also searching for Tsunade?

Is it that terrifying intelligence capability again?

Seeing that Jiraiya remained silent, Tsunade continued, "But after midnight last night, my luck changed. I lost five boxes of money in half a night, and that was because I was testing and so the speed was a bit slow."

Jiraiya's eye twitched...

How proud I am...

Shaking his head, he immediately realized another key point about that statement.

After gambling all night, my luck started to change at midnight.

Is this because something has changed at the Vortex Sky?

At this moment, Jiraiya's gaze fell on the silent money box, and he said, "From midnight until almost noon when I met you, such a long time... you couldn't possibly still have this much left."

Tsunade nodded upon hearing this: "You guessed right. Since this morning, my luck seems to have changed once again. I won, and by such a large margin."

At this point, Tsunade stared at Jiraiya and asked, "The black market information didn't mention the name Uzumaki Sora. I need to know about him. He can use his grandfather's power, but his surname is Uzumaki. Does he have the bloodline of the Senju clan?"

"But if that's the case, why would he become an enemy of Konoha? Because of the old man? Or because of that Darkness of Konoha?"

After a series of questions, Jiraiya drank another cup of sake, sighed, and said, "The darkness of Konoha? Danzo was killed by this Uzumaki Ku a long time ago, and he even slapped the old man in the face that time."

“In Konoha now, the old man has no power other than his direct subordinates in the Anbu. And even his direct subordinates can be mobilized by Minato.”

???

These words left Tsunade momentarily stunned.

After so many years away from returning to the village, Konoha has undergone such changes.

Jiraiya's disciple, the Hokage named Minato Namikaze, unexpectedly possessed such abilities.

After catching her breath and having a drink herself, Tsunade asked, "So what's the deal with Uchiha Kumo, and Uzumaki Sora...?"

"A battle capable of causing such a terrain change as the Sea of ​​Ending—even my grandfather's power was terrifying in the records of the Senju clan. Could that Uzumaki Sora, with his Wood Release, possess such power?"

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let me think about where I should begin..."

"It's possible that Uzumaki Sora doesn't have the bloodline of the Senju clan. But he has an extremely terrifying ability to make deals. The power of Wood Release might have been traded to him by the First Hokage, who was in the Pure Land."
