Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Everything? That's too vague.

Who killed Kushina? The Nine-Tails.

Who released the Nine-Tails? Obito.

So how did Obito come back to life? Did Madara Uchiha save him?

How did Madara Uchiha survive until now? Was it because he used a delayed version of Izanagi? He also bit off a piece of Hashirama Senju's flesh, gathering the power of all things and awakening the Rinnegan.

Where is Madara Uchiha now? He's dead.

How did he die? ...

All of these vague concepts involve one person, which brings out all the secrets of the ninja world, and Minato Namikaze's bargaining chips are clearly not enough.

Minato Namikaze remained silent for a moment, pondering how to ask his question.

Who killed Kushina? No! Jinchuriki die when their tailed beasts are removed, and the answer to this question would only involve Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

Why did Kushina die? No, all we need to answer is the question of the tailed beasts escaping.

Who caused Kushina's death? No, knowing who it was doesn't matter much; what matters is the process, the enemy's intelligence.

So……

"What kind of abilities did the enemy who caused Kushina's death possess?"

As Minato Namikaze finished speaking, the contract appeared, and this time all that was needed were two chips.

After exhaling, Yun calmly looked at the Fourth Hokage opposite him.

Is it any wonder he became Hokage? He only managed to trick two people, and he didn't even ask about the enemy's identity or name, only their ability details.

The word "ability" is also very general, but it refers to the information about an individual's abilities. Therefore, the system gives the price of replicating it twice.

By working backward from his abilities, he can figure out what happened and make targeted plans. Given Minato Namikaze's confidence in himself, he has a high probability of capturing the invading enemy after obtaining the intelligence.

We'll know the identity of the person who comes without paying a price.

"Agree to the contract!"

As Minato Namikaze finished speaking, the contract transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the space.

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Yun began to provide information:

"The person who caused Kushina's death possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan. Although it was only a single eye, because it contained Hashirama Senju's cells, it could use its eye techniques frequently."

"His Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu is very strong, but how strong is another question. Also, because of Hashirama's cells, he can use some Wood Release techniques, but it is clear that he cannot reach the level of Hashirama Senju."

"Because of the summoning contract, his Mangekyou Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails. Secondly, his ability to intangibly transform his eye technique allows him to transfer any part of his body or even his entire body into another dimension. During this time, attacks from the real world cannot reach him."

"Of course, genjutsu targeting their mind is effective. But using genjutsu on an Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and has Hashirama cells would not be a good idea."

"Note this information: the interval between each intangible transformation is five minutes, and the opponent will solidify each time they attack. I think with the Fourth Hokage's reflexes, this opportunity can be seized."

"...Izanagi...Izanami..."

……

After he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze's heart was filled with unease for a long time.

With so many abilities, including the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release, they are all legendary powers, simply... terrifying!

After a long pause, Minato Namikaze's gaze narrowed slightly: "Control of the Nine-Tails, the Mangekyou Sharingan, the power of the First Hokage—every single element in this intelligence report seems to be a reminder of the enemy's identity. But... how is this possible?"

Yun on the other side shook his head slightly: "This information... can you give me another bargaining chip?"

Minato glanced at the table and then looked at Yun: "Isn't it Madara? You can't lie, but you haven't given a clear answer."

Yun was speechless. Apart from that idiot Seventh Hokage, none of the Hokage were truly stupid.

Even though Minato Namikaze in front of him was of commoner origin and had a smile as bright as the sun, he was no ordinary person after the Fourth Shinobi World War.

"In fact, you know very well that if Kushina dies, your death will be the same. Now, do you want to know the identity of this enemy? One bargaining chip is enough; I can tell you."

Minato Namikaze was not tempted and shook his head slightly: "So much information about his abilities is enough. The enemy's name is not important, even if he is Madara Uchiha."

"As for what you said about my death date, although this space displays the truth, it should be based on the premise that I did not come here and did not obtain this information."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yun scratched his head. Two chips were still too few...

As the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze possessed many things he desired.

The talent for space-time ninjutsu, the speed of nerve reflexes, which he obtained from Kushina, who in turn obtained the sealing techniques from Mito Uzumaki, and finally, the Flying Thunder God Technique which includes the second stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After a moment of contemplation, Yun continued, "I don't think Konoha has the ability to keep this person alive. As for Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, because of the summoning contract, the probability that Konoha could save her life even with the information is not 100%."

"And the Fourth Hokage... if Kushina dies, you will follow her. This is a decision you will make yourself. And your death will have a chain reaction that will cause Konoha to decline for more than ten years."

"Having experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War, you should know very well how the hungry wolves around the five great ninja villages would react if the rich and constantly besieged Konoha were to decline."

"The Third Hokage... is like an old, decaying tree; he cannot support the prosperity of Konoha!"

You can interpret these words as bait.

The last sentence made Minato Namikaze's heart tighten. Since becoming the Fourth Hokage, this was the first time that Konoha had seen two Kage at the same time.

With two advisors, Danzo of the Root, and his excessively young age, this in itself constitutes a form of checks and balances.

"Can you protect Kushina?"

Uchiha Yun shook his head slightly: "This is an information exchange, and I will not personally intervene. However, there is a force in Konoha that you are unaware of that can stop that person. Furthermore, your request to that force will have a positive impact on Konoha's future."

"This information involves an issue you care about and a hidden force in Konoha, so... it's worth two bargaining chips!"

……

Chapter 3: Obito's Exposure

Another contract appears, with two chips.

Minato Namikaze pondered the other's words, focusing on the piece of information he was interested in, and the hidden power of Konoha.

The hint is already quite clear: if one can borrow this power, then it is obvious that the source of this power will be someone one knows well, or someone who has good intentions towards Konoha.

And that intelligence...

He controls the Nine-Tails, but he's not Madara Uchiha, so...

Although I could guess part of it, but...

Minato Namikaze glanced at the composed figure opposite him. The other party's intentions were quite clear, and he still dared not gamble.

This isn't a battlefield where you can probe for intelligence through attacks. This concerns the future of Konoha, Kushina's life or death, and... Naruto!

"I agree to...the contract!"

A voice, filled with both helplessness and determination, rang out: the contract was established.

Uchiha Yun smiled and held up one finger: "The first person you can ask for help from... Hatake Kakashi!"

???

How could that be?

Minato Namikaze was stunned for the first time. You should know that even with the most shocking information, he had never focused his attention on the cloud.

At this moment, it was because he was too familiar with the person who came out of Yun's mouth. From the Hatake-ryu sword technique to the Raikiri that could cut through lightning, Minato Namikaze knew all these abilities very well.

Compared to the enemy intelligence he had just received, he couldn't figure out how Kakashi could help him.

Yun, on the other side, waved her hand slightly: "Surprised, aren't you? In fact, even Kakashi himself probably doesn't know his own ability right now, the power of that Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Kaleidoscope Sharingan?

Minato Namikaze thought of many things in an instant, and for the first time, he lost his composure.

Another Mangekyou Sharingan, and based on the words of the mysterious black figure in front of him, it was highly likely that the enemy was not Uchiha Madara.

But the contract for summoning the Nine-Tails...

Uchiha, the one-eyed Uchiha, the Uchiha who defected from Konoha, or the missing—no! The ones whose bodies are not at the memorial tablet!

...Obito!

Yun continued, "Kakashi's Sharingan had actually evolved to the Mangekyou Sharingan level a long time ago, but because he was not an Uchiha, he hadn't yet realized this power."

"And now I can tell you that this power is very restrained against that person. By the way, I think with the wisdom of the Fourth Hokage, he should have already guessed his identity."

"Then the second person hidden in Konoha's power... Uchiha Fugaku, or... Uchiha Shisui."

Looking at the shocked Fourth Hokage, Yun said, "Kakashi's eye ability requires guidance from the Uchiha. As the Fourth Hokage, you have formed a good relationship with the Uchiha. If you remember this help in the future, perhaps you will be able to achieve three and a half pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan while remaining loyal to Konoha."

"And this is what I was talking about earlier, the matter concerning the future."

Before Minato Namikaze could calm down, Yun continued, "The Third Hokage, once known as a hero of the ninja world, is old now. Looking at the children playing happily in the village, he actually resists anything that might disrupt peace."

"But in this day and age, yielding means weakness. Yielding to former classmates, yielding to former...disciples, yielding to enemy countries..."

Yun stared at Minato Namikaze opposite him: "You are the Fourth Hokage known as the Yellow Flash, and only you can change all of this. If you live, far too many tragedies will not be repeated."

"Every step you take in the future will have a profound impact on the world. There is even a high probability that it will help to continue peace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze, who was sitting opposite him, relaxed and smiled helplessly at the dark figure opposite him.

"Although I don't know who you are, to make such a comment about me as if peace has been restored is truly... shameful."

"And from these words, I can tell... you must also be someone who longs for peace. It was because of these speculations that I agreed to the contract for those four chips."

"So... is there any more bait? It smells pretty good." ^_^

Yun, sitting opposite him, shook his head slightly, smiled, and said, "I've already told you enough, and you don't have any more chips to play."

Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded: "I've learned a lot today... Thank you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and disappeared.

……

In the Uchiha clan compound, Uchiha Yun, sitting in a room, looked up at the clock.

"Crack!"

Sure enough, no matter how long you stay in the intelligence exchange, the outside world is just a fleeting moment.

The negotiation table seems to make the atmosphere quite dull. Next time, turning it into the Hokage Rock would be a good idea. It could have a certain psychological impact on the client, and the special effects in the air would make it more believable, wouldn't they?
