Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

The Nine-Tailed Fox slapped Shukaku on the back of the head with its claw: "You want a one-on-one fight? Don't you know that among all the tailed beasts, you, Shukaku, are the weakest? Who do you think you can beat!"

It was hit again, but in its rage, Shukaku's claws couldn't reach behind it.

The single tail had just lifted up when it was pushed back down by the nine tails of the little nine-tailed fox.

Then it slammed down with another paw!

"boom."

"Stupid raccoon! Do you submit or not?"

Wisps of yellow sand rose up, but were immediately extinguished by the image of Uchiha Yun in his mind.

As a dignified tailed beast, it certainly didn't want to be washing dishes in Konoha to pay off its debts...

"You damned fox!! You've angered me!"

With a roar, Shukaku charged out of the house with the little Nine-Tails on its back.

Just then, Izumi, who happened to be coming from the opposite direction, asked, "Did you make some new friends, Nine-Tails-sama? Are you going out to play?"

"Oh? Izumi's back?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox smiled at Izumi, pointed its paw at Shukaku, and said, "This is also a pet that Yun-boy just found for me. I just wanted to go for a walk since I have nothing else to do. You should go back now."

Before he could finish speaking, the enraged Shukaku leaped left and right, but it couldn't shake the little Nine-Tails off.

"You damn fox! Who's your pet? You piece of shit, explain yourself!"

"boom!!"

With a swipe of its paw, it pinned Shukaku to the ground. The little nine-tailed fox laughed and said, "My pet isn't very obedient. A couple of swipes will do the trick."

As she spoke, the little nine-tailed fox's eyes darted around, revealing a sly smile.

He then whispered to Shukaku beneath him, "Stupid tanuki, you should have noticed that we're in a very free state right now. And apart from a few people, everyone in this village has to use honorifics when addressing me."

"Do you want to be scattered by humans, recover, and return to your original body to continue living a life of darkness? Anyway, my original body is very envious of me."

Shukaku, lying on the ground, turned her head and asked, "What do you mean?"

The Nine-Tails continued its seductive ploy: "Your identity is that of a Tailed Beast from Sunagakure. If it were known that a portion of you were staying in Konoha, you would definitely be sent back. So..."

"so?"

Shukaku paused for a moment, then said, "So, I can't call myself a Tailed Beast anymore? And I can't let others know that I'm the One-Tailed Beast?"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox nodded solemnly: "Your best identity right now is as my pet, so... others will call you Lord Tanuki."

"You damned fox! Do you think I'm a fool?"

Little Shukaku leaped up, trying to fling the little Nine-Tailed Fox off its back.

However, it was all in vain.

Amidst the commotion, the figures of the two small tailed beasts disappeared into the distance.

Seeing this, Quan breathed a sigh of relief; the house seemed to be getting more and more lively.

One Nine-Tails wasn't enough; now there are two tailed beasts. Only the older brother could pull off something like this.

……

Inside the Hokage Building.

"According to Little Nine-Tails, the reason why its true form, Nine-Tails, disagreed with the division was because of jealousy?"

Minato himself found it somewhat amusing as he spoke.

The part of the Nine-Tails that was cut off seems to have lost its previous resentment due to the cloud.

Having been free for so long, even his relationship with the villagers of Konoha has undergone some subtle changes.

It was from that moment that Minato began to believe that perhaps the Nine-Tails wasn't actually a demon fox...

As for the legendary claim of being an incarnation of calamity, it is simply nonsense.

At this moment, Yun, who was opposite him, nodded and replied, "Although they have existed for thousands of years, perhaps because they are tailed beasts, both Kurama and Shukaku sometimes act like children."

"She often flaunts her true form, and because of her childhood experiences, Kushina has never been able to reach Naruto's level. So..."

Minato exhaled: "So the Nine-Tails' true form thinks that if another half of it were to be separated and accept Naruto, it would just be another half that would laugh at it, right?"

At this moment, Shikaku, standing behind Minato, said, "We can split the Nine-Tails without its permission. So, is the reason we want permission because the Hokage also wants Kushina to obtain that power?"

As Shikaku spoke, his expression turned serious: "However, if I may be frank, the most fundamental reason for Tingyun's meaning seems to lie not in the Nine-Tails, but in Kushina."

Minato frowned.

As Shikaku said, the problem lies with Kushina.

Kushina and Kurama (the Nine-Tails) have never had a good relationship.

Every time, it's just that stinky fox calling out "stinky fox." When it needs something, it makes the nine-tailed fox pay rent; when it doesn't, it uses the Vajra Seal to bind it to death.

It would be a miracle if this treatment could be considered friendly.

but……

Minato then remembered the words of his teacher Jiraiya, and the prophecy he received from the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku.

The Savior's words...

Could it be Naruto?

The name was taken from that book; perhaps I had this idea from the beginning...

Thinking of this, Minato raised his head and looked at Yun, saying, "What if... we extracted the entire Nine-Tails, divided it up, and gave it to you and Naruto? What do you think?"

???

Minato's words stunned Shikaku and Kumo, who were present.

In fact, at this stage, the power of the Nine-Tails is no longer that important to Yun.

Because the deal with the tailed beasts was already on his list.

Becoming the original Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails might allow Kaguya to exploit him, just like Madara did. However, if it is a replica of the Ten-Tails' chakra that follows one's own, then this power will not contain any trace of Kaguya.

Whether Kaguya's will only begin to descend after the Infinite Tsukuyomi is activated remains to be considered, but a remake is generally not a problem.

"Lord Hokage... aren't you a little too trusting of me?"

Yun's straightforward answer made Minato smile, but it was also the answer that Shikaku wanted to ask.

As the strongest fighter in the ninja world, if he were to combine his power with that of the Nine-Tails, his individual strength would reach a terrifying level.

However, at this moment, Shikaku did not object, and even lowered his head, not wanting anyone to see the expression on his face.

The two people in front of me are the Hokage, the highest authority in Konoha.

One is Uchiha Kumo, who is currently considered to be the strongest fighter in the entire ninja world.

In this exchange between the two, Shikaku couldn't offer any opinion.

"I have always had complete confidence in Kumo. The Uchiha are the Uchiha of Konoha, and Kumo has already formed many bonds with this village. So what is there to worry about?"

As he spoke, Minato's smile gradually turned serious: "But there is a very important point here, which is that you, Yun, have the ability to restore the life force that Kushina lost when she lost her tailed beast as a Jinchūriki."

"I'm sure your ability can accomplish that."

Yun nodded, then asked, "Lord Hokage, while the ability of Yanming can indeed restore a Jinchuriki even if they lose their Tailed Beast, does Lord Hokage's wife agree to completely removing the Tailed Beast?"

Minato smiled and replied, "Having a conscious being inside you isn't always a good thing. You don't understand that yet."

Minato then changed the subject: "I'll have Kushina and Kurama discuss it, but judging from their current attitude, it should be fine."

Yun nodded: "In that case, I'll take my leave."

Minato raised his hand: "The important matters have been discussed, but there is one more thing that requires you, Yun, to make a trip in person."

"A mission?"

"It's not a mission."

As Shikaku spoke, he took out a document and handed it to Yun: "Because all the winners of the third exam were Konoha's genin, there are now three spots available for the Chunin Exams. I think you, as their teacher, are the most suitable person to convey this good news."

After glancing at the documents, Yun smiled and replied, "It seems... it's time for Team 10 to split up and carry out missions separately. Those guys who just graduated from the Ninja Academy are now Chunin."

Shikaku's eye twitched as he replied, "If I remember correctly, Yun and the three disciples of Class 10... were in the same class, right?"

Uh!

After a moment of awkwardness, Yun retorted, "But when I became a Jonin, they were all still studying at the Ninja Academy."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun took the documents, opened the door, and left.

Shikaku's voice came from behind: "Don't forget to collect their equipment!"

A response was heard, and after a while, there was no more movement outside the door.

It was only at this moment that Shikaku spoke to Minato, saying, "Isn't this a bit too fast?"

Minato shook his head slightly: "Whether it's fast or slow is meaningless now. You should understand that, whether the Nine-Tails exists or not, no one in Konoha can stop him from doing anything anymore."

"Even so, Yun seems willing to live under the basic rules. Class 10 has already graduated, and the bond between the three disciples was formed during the Hyuga main family's division issue."

Shikaku remained silent for a moment.

Is it the bond formed by disciples?

For the sake of Hyuga Tokuma, he managed to drag the Hokage into the matter with such a small beginning.

Then it involved Hizashi from the branch family and Hiashi from the main family. As a result, over the past year or so, the voices within the Hyuga clan have been greatly silenced.

At this moment, Minato continued, "It's been almost half a year since the last transaction. Uzumaki Sora obtained the so-called Ashura Chakra power from Naruto's body, and no one knows if he has made any new progress."

“We have no clue about the so-called Ashura and Indra chakra, but Uzumaki Sora, who has a terrifying intelligence-gathering ability, is different.”

"Perhaps at this moment, he himself possessed the last of the Wood Release's power."

Shikaku nodded: "In that case, the power of the Nine-Tails is no longer enough to support that level of battle. Only by transferring half of the Nine-Tails' power to Kumo can we resist, right?"
