Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Well!?

A bewildered Karin waved her hands and shook her head repeatedly. After her gaze met Naruto's, her face immediately turned red.

God knows what she really meant was that early relationships are bad.

However, Kushina sighed again at this moment: "That Uzumaki Sora's prophetic abilities are incredibly powerful. If he says Hinata will be Naruto's wife in the future, then Karin, you really might not have a chance. Sigh..."

Karin, who was standing to the side, almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Although Naruto seemed alright, she preferred the cool and dashing type!

Just like...

Suddenly, images from several years ago flashed through Karin's mind.

At that moment, Whirlpool Bell, who was preparing lunch in the kitchen, came out with a smile on her face, holding a kitchen knife.

"Karin".

"what?!"

"If it's Naruto, Mom won't object! Come to think of it, maybe that way a child can even have the surname Uzumaki."

???

Karin stared at the kitchen knife in her mother's hand, swallowed hard, and replied, "Um... Mom, could you put the knife down before you come out to talk? It's very dangerous."

At this moment, Naruto looked at Kushina with a frustrated expression and asked, "Mom, you promised me I could go see Dad after lunch. Those ninjutsu are the secret to my becoming stronger!"

Kushina frowned: "Your dad is very busy right now. How about this, this afternoon I can let you talk to Kurama for a while, how about that?"

Naruto was instantly captivated: "Chatting with Lord Fox is one of the conditions for becoming stronger! Okay...!"

"Ding dong..."

The doorbell rang, and Karin, who went to open the door, was taken aback for a moment before bowing and greeting, "Hokage-sama."

Minato reached out and ruffled Karin's hair: "Just call me Uncle Minato. We're not in the Hokage Building right now."

At this moment, Kushina, who was sitting on the sofa, was taken aback and asked, "Shouldn't you still be working at this time? Did you forget to take your lunch?"

Minato smiled and replied, "I came to see Naruto. I'm in a bit of a hurry because I asked Yun for help. After all, Yun's recovery jutsu can only be used once a day."

Is it scheduled for today?

After all, in order to prevent the Vortex Sky from finding out, a quick victory is indeed a good idea.

At that moment, Naruto, who had already stood up excitedly, ran over, grabbed Minato, and was about to leave: "Dad, have you decided to teach me that ninjutsu? Let's go, let's go!"

Kushina frowned: "Naruto, you need to explain to Aunt Rin before you leave. You need to be polite!"

Under his mother's watchful gaze, Naruto had no choice but to obediently head towards the kitchen.

A short while later, Rin came out and greeted Minato, and then Naruto happily slipped away.

After lunch, Kushina's restlessness was noticed by Karin, who was sitting next to her.

After thinking for a moment, Karin said, "Actually, Hinata sometimes sneaks off to see Naruto during holidays."

???

Kushina was stunned.

Karin continued, "Because of her sensory abilities, I've spotted her a few times. When Naruto was training, and Sasuke and the others were playing, I spotted her a few times from not far away."

Immediately, Kushina picked up her coat, stood up, said hello, and ran out.

Karin looked at her mother from behind and asked in confusion, "Mom, if it's a pervert for a boy to follow a girl, what would it be if a girl peeked at a boy?"

Rin reached out and flicked Karin's forehead: "That must be love..."

With that, Rin sighed, "If Karin becomes Naruto's future wife, then what Kushina said back then will come true."

Karin pouted: "Although I'm very grateful to Aunt Kushina, I don't like Naruto at all. He's so carefree and not cool at all."

Rin Uzumaki ruffled Karin's hair: "So... Karin, can you tell your mom who you like? And who's the coolest person at your school?"

"what?!"

Karin blushed and was looked at with a strange gaze by her mother.

Unable to bear it any longer, Karin turned and ran, waving as she went and saying, "I'm going out to play, I'll be back this afternoon!"

Whirlpool Bell waved back: "Take good care of your friends!"

……

The oncoming wind cooled Karin's face, and then she walked onto the street.

Although Konoha was a good place, she always felt somewhat out of place at school.

Everything she experienced in Kusagakure during her childhood made it impossible for her to accept growing up as naively as those guys.

Because by this moment, she had already grown up.

"Xianglin?"

The exclamation made Karin turn around, where she saw Ino and Sakura waving at her from a short distance away.

When Karin, who was wearing glasses, walked over, she noticed that Sakura seemed a little different today.

"Are you... planning to grow your hair into a ponytail?"

Sakura nodded excitedly: "How is it? Isn't it pretty? I heard that Sasuke likes girls with long hair, and after these past few months, I've been able to tie my hair in a ponytail."

Uh!

Karin gave an awkward laugh. Why would she run into something like this even though she was already out?

At this moment, Ino, who was standing nearby, joked, "After Naruto's actions yesterday, Sakura, this flower bud that is about to bloom, also needs to muster her greatest courage."

Karin paused for a moment, then asked, "You're going to confess to Sasuke at school too? If this keeps up, one after another, I bet Iruka-sensei will beat Naruto up, right?"

Ino smiled and replied, "As the son of the Hokage, Iruka-sensei would never kill him."

Sakura, who was standing nearby, looked at Karin curiously and asked, "By the way, your red hair is the same color as Naruto's mother's hair..."

Karin replied helplessly, "That's because Aunt Kushina and I are from the same clan, Uzumaki."

As she spoke, she pointed to the back of a Chunin not far away: "The Konoha vest and the markings on the headband, the vortex in it represents our Uzumaki clan. These things were in last year's textbook."

After being given a lecture, the two nodded repeatedly. Sakura, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "I don't think I've ever seen Karin when we were little... Is the Uzumaki clan also from Konoha?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Karin remembered her mother's words.

"Kusagakure is in the past. Your mother and Aunt Kushina both hope that you can forget those dark days."

"My mother's wish is that Karin can make true friends in the village and grow up happily."

……

After a moment of thought, Karin smiled and replied, "Because my mother and I weren't in Konoha when I was little, it was Aunt Kushina who found us. Sakura, have you thought about how to confess?"

Sakura, taken aback by the change of topic, paused for a moment, and then her inner personality began to perform wildly in her mind.

Meanwhile, Ino noticed Karin's earlier unusual behavior.

Come to think of it, this classmate seems to have been quite unfamiliar to me all along.

At that moment, Karin looked over and asked, "What kind of guy would Ino like?"

Ok?

Ino paused for a moment, then thought for a second and replied, "A genius, very strong, with a great personality, who would buy flowers to pay respects to his deceased comrades at the memorial... A guy with that kind of personality would be a good guy, right?"

Immediately, the three girls began to chatter amongst themselves.

Chapter 194: Feeling Like the Cabbage Is About to Be Stewed by a Pig

Looking at the Minato father and son who were teaching him the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, he realized that this forbidden technique was not avoiding him.

Yun read it once and memorized the forbidden technique.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, in the original story I remember, was practically a cheat code for cultivation.

But it seems that in the entire story, only Naruto can use it as a cheat code.

It's not explicitly stated whether Hashirama Senju could do it; besides the amount of chakra, it seems there's also a requirement for willpower. After all, it takes willpower to avoid being overwhelmed by a deluge of information.

He shook his head slightly. For him now, even if he could withstand it, this technique didn't seem to be very effective.

At this moment, Naruto, who had previously been taught the Shadow Clone Technique by Itachi, had already understood Minato's explanation.

Then, his hands formed a mudra.

"Boom."

After a puff of smoke, five clones appeared beside Naruto.

This scene not only stunned Minato, but also left Yun on the other side momentarily bewildered.

Before this, Yun believed that Naruto was able to learn a Wind Release ninjutsu and Shadow Clone Technique in his second year of school because the Nine-Tails was not interfering with him at that time.

And now...

Leaving aside the forbidden techniques, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, despite having few hand seals, is a genuine A-rank ninjutsu in terms of difficulty.

In this situation, being able to learn it in such a short time is enough to prove that he has a very high talent.

"Hahaha!"

At that moment, Naruto's maniacal laughter rang out, and then six Narutos simultaneously clenched their fists and said, "I actually have five clones now! When I go to school the day after tomorrow, Iruka-sensei will definitely be amazed!"

Yun walked up to Minato and said with a smile, "How come he didn't inherit any of the Hokage's personality? But it's good that he has motivation."

Minato chuckled awkwardly, then said to Naruto, "Next, have your five clones, along with your main body, run laps around the training ground."

"what?!"

Naruto looked up in confusion: "Why are we running in circles? Shouldn't we be experimenting with more Shadow Clones next?"

Minato shook his head and replied, "The experience of the shadow clones dissipating will be returned to the original body. Just shouting a couple of times doesn't prove that you can withstand more shadow clones."

Convinced, Naruto pouted and then yelled for all his shadow clones to start running in circles.

Why run laps?

"We are shadow clones, and running laps won't train our physical skills."
