Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

At this moment, Izumi, standing behind Tokuma, asked, "Is the reason Konoha's team is being targeted... because of me?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Tu and the others who were proctoring the exam couldn't help but feel a chill.

Qing glanced at Wuye, signaling his genin to keep quiet.

However... this kind of suggestion had no effect on them, who were only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Arrogance is an essential trait for geniuses.

Chito glanced up at Uchiha Yun and then replied, "In fact, I don't think you have the same talent as your brother. After all, I heard that you are twins, but the difference between you is so great."

These words made Quan pause for a moment, then he pouted and replied, "If you can't speak properly, then speak less, or you'll be begging for your dad... sister in the third exam!"

Chito shrugged and didn't say anything more. Muya grinned, his sharp serrations crisscrossing: "I'm really looking forward to fighting you. After all, it would be quite an achievement to defeat Konoha Ghost's sister."

Quan frowned: "Your teeth make me want to smash them all!"

"Bang bang."

Yun tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and everyone looked over immediately.

The arguing genin stopped arguing at that moment. In this world where strength reigns supreme, power equals authority.

"After the second assessment, you will have a month to rest."

Yun smiled and said, "In other words, you will have a month to analyze and decipher the information you obtained about your opponents from the second assessment. If you can't figure it out, you can ask your team leader."

"Arguing at this time is pointless for you. After all, victory or defeat isn't decided by words. If you want to win and gain the village's approval, then work hard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun looked at the leaders of each village and indicated that the last two teams had been led away.

At this point, only the people of Konoha remained on the tower.

Yun looked at Quan and asked, "How come you're just like Little Nine-Tailed Fox? You can remember things you just say, and you're only a teenager, yet you want to be someone's father."

Quan blushed instantly and murmured, "It just slipped out. But brother, do you have any information about those two guys?"

Yun shook her head and smiled, "Others have found out your intelligence at the cost of sacrificing nineteen teams. Under such circumstances, there will naturally be targeted special training."

"As for why you failed to obtain information about those two teams, there's nothing I can do about it. Sometimes, a close contest is more interesting, isn't it?"

Tokuma sighed and analyzed, "That Iwagakure ninja, Jito, was able to use Earth Release ninjutsu to collapse the cave. Such ninjutsu must be quite difficult."

Inuzuka Hana nodded and said, "Another one from Kirigakure, with serrated teeth like that of ordinary people. Perhaps he has a special ability."

Quan, standing to the side, glared at Yun, pouted, and said, "Since we don't know anything about the other side, we can only prepare based on elemental advantages and disadvantages. Lightning beats Earth, and Earth beats Water."

As he spoke, Izumi glanced at Tokuma and Hana, then sighed.

Sometimes a teammate's special abilities are indeed useful, but the variety they offer can be a headache.

Fortunately, lightning also has some effect against water-type attacks, which is some consolation.

"Clap clap."

Yun clapped her hands lightly and said with a smile, "No matter what, you still have a month left. In that case, to celebrate passing the second test, I can treat you to barbecue!"

This news cheered the three of them up, and Yun then led them away from the Death Forest.

The report on the second assessment was naturally delivered by someone else.

……

Meanwhile, in the Hokage Building's office.

When the second assessment ended, representatives from the five great ninja villages returned to the site once again.

Minato glanced at the report that had just been delivered to him, smiled, and said, "It seems that the genin from each village are cooperating quite well. In that case, we've probably gathered enough information about the three disciples of Kumo, haven't we?"

Onoki, standing to the side, replied in a deep voice, "This is the only way we can do it. Uchiha Izumi's Sharingan has already reached the level of three tomoe. Just this bloodline limit alone is enough to make her a special Jonin."

"In that case, if the others don't unite, they will only be defeated one by one. I'm sure the Hokage understands that."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present felt a slight tension in their hearts.

This clearly indicates that the discussion is not about the Chunin Exams, but rather the current attitudes of the various villages.

If we don't unite, we will be defeated one by one!

This idea wasn't just Onoki's.

Minato smiled and looked at the four representatives in front of him: "This approach is not wrong in fact. Only in this way can we provide information for the third exam for Zhitu and Wuye."

Onoki stared directly at Minato and asked in a deep voice, "Hokage... is that really what you think?"

Before Minato could speak, Rasa spoke up from the other side: "The Sunagakure teams are all among the seven teams that were eliminated in the first batch. A few of the genin are still young, but they are unwilling to submit to anyone."

"hehe!"

Onoki chuckled lightly: "It seems that Uzumaki Sora's assessment of Lord Kazekage was absolutely correct!"

Luo Sha glanced back indifferently and said nothing more.

At this moment, Mei Terumi and Darui frowned slightly.

The alliance of the four great ninja villages is not the same as the alliance of those low-ranking ninjas; there are too many concerns, and the issues involved are far too significant.

Just like the Kazekage, even now, besides Kumogakure, he is the one who most wants Konoha to decline.

However, due to the disparity in strength, they had to distance themselves from the situation at this time, and they also couldn't afford to offend Iwagakure.

The conference hall fell silent for a moment.

After a long pause, Minato finally had to ease the tension, saying, "Whether or not to unite depends on each party's own will. The purpose of uniting for the Chunin Exams is not only to demonstrate national strength, but also to bring peace."

"Everyone, the Third Shinobi World War is not long past. Konoha hopes that peace can continue, and I believe that you all feel the same way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Onoki frowned slightly.

Is it peaceful?

If Konoha didn't have Uchiha Kumo at this moment, then the issue of peace could be discussed.

Since the end of the Warring States period, the five great nations have maintained a balance of power, ensuring peace throughout the ninja world. However, this balance has now been broken, and as long as Uchiha Kumo exists, Konoha will remain peaceful.

When Uchiha Kumo is no longer around, or when he and Uzumaki Sora are both severely injured, Konoha will inevitably face an attack from two or more sides.

"His Majesty the Hokage's wishes seem to align with those of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. Iwagakure also hopes that peace can continue, but the Uchiha are not the Senju."

Onoki chuckled and stood up. "The second exam is over. I'm really looking forward to the third. Will those kids be able to defeat Konoha with their combined strength?"

After speaking, Onoki bowed slightly and left.

Afterwards, the representatives from each village bowed and left.

This scene caused Shikaku, standing behind Minato, to frown deeply.

Even the Fourth Kazekage, who had just tried to distance himself from the situation, was the third to leave.

"Lord Hokage, it seems that the four great ninja villages have become one entity."

Minato nodded and replied, "The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, is just trying to play both sides. The distance is too close; he fears the power of the clouds, but he also fears the alliance on the other side."

Shikaku said, "Unstable factors will inevitably be eliminated within the alliance, but it seems they haven't reached that point yet."

Minato chuckled lightly: "As long as the power of the Clouds still belongs to Konoha, all problems are no problem. They won't make a move, nor will they dare to."

As he spoke, Minato glanced at the Chunin Exams report, frowned, and sighed: "The first exam eliminated so many Konoha genin, and out of the twenty-four teams in the second exam, Konoha only managed to eliminate three."

Shikaku replied, "Actually, this was to be expected. The new generation of various clans are basically gathered in Naruto's class. In the Cloud class, he and Itachi graduated early and became Jonin. The only ones left to pay attention to are the three from Team 10."

After closing the report, Minato shook his head helplessly and then asked, "Have you found any records regarding the reincarnation of Naruto and Sasuke's chakra?"

Shikaku replied, "Not yet. Beings like Indra and Ashura are related to the Sage of Six Paths. But the Sage of Six Paths has become a myth, and there are very few written records about him."

Minato nodded: "Let's continue gathering information. The new generation represents the future of Konoha, and in any case, we need to focus on both of them."

"By the way, what about Yun and the three kids in Class 10? This report was also delivered by the Dark Guard after the second exam."

Shikaku smiled helplessly and replied, "To celebrate passing the second exam, Yun took them out for barbecue. This is the message brought back by the Anbu."

With a wry smile, Minato stood up and looked out the window at the dimly lit Konoha Village.

It's just nightfall, and the bustling commercial street is enviable.

"Shikaku."

"Lord Hokage."

"What do you think if I stepped down as Hokage right now?"

???

Shikaku was stunned.

After a moment, Minato shook his head slightly: "It's not the right time yet, we need to wait and see. It's just that the thought of Yun being able to eat barbecue while I have so much to do makes me feel resentful..."

After uttering a couple of complaints, Minato sat down again and began the next part of his work.

This situation also relieved Shikaku.

Chapter 209: Tsunade's Dice Cup

Konoha, a barbecue restaurant.

"Phew... It's been three days. I've been eating dry rations and soldier's ration pills every day. It's finally over."

Quan rubbed his bloated belly and said to Yun, "Thanks, brother!"

Yun smiled and replied, "Actually, even if you start a fire during your last day and a half, you probably won't be in any trouble."

Hana Inuzuka, who was standing nearby, fed the grilled meat in her hand to Rimaru, then turned her head and said, "At that time, we had actually guessed their plan, but starting a fire was still a bit risky."

Tokuma nodded: "Gambling your life for a hot meal might improve your mindset later, but it's not worth it."

Yun looked at Dejian: "Then...why didn't you think of using firelight to lure the enemy?"

Tokuma replied, "There's a very high chance they won't fall for it. They wouldn't dare, and wouldn't, sacrifice so many people. This will only put us on edge."

That's a pretty good answer.

Yun smiled and nodded, then wrapped up a piece of grilled meat and handed it to Quan: "Enjoy this meal. For the next month, although we don't know anything about our opponents, intensifying our training is inevitable."

The three of them exchanged a glance and all wore wry smiles.

At that moment, Tsunade, who had just finished a long day at get off work, walked in through the curtain of the private room.
