Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

The differences in the personalities of those in power inevitably lead to vastly different consequences.

From the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, onwards, Konoha has never lacked a new generation of geniuses.

But its power... is constantly declining.

The existence of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was a turning point.

Trust is a two-way street. After Danzo was removed as a troublemaker, many things naturally began to trust each other.

……

After thinking for a moment about the appointment documents for Chunin, Yun headed towards the Seventh Training Ground.

Although the Chunin Exams have ended, given Tokuma's personality, he should still be training at this time.

He only has a few days of free time left. After being appointed as a Chunin, he will need to start leading teams on missions.

Because of Akatsuki's existence and the subsequent reactions of the four major ninja villages, the top combatant, who was supposed to be on guard, will be temporarily free to defend himself.

"Shh!"

Yun's figure appeared beside the seventh training ground.

Meanwhile, in the training field, Tokuma stood under a large tree.

"boom."

With a single strike, the tree trembled, and its leaves began to fall.

Tokuma, with his Byakugan activated, tried his best to avoid every leaf while finding a few marked ones.

After she finished, Yun stepped forward and said with a smile, "This method is indeed suitable for training one person. What about Quan? Didn't she continue to practice with you?"

After exhaling, Tokuma closed his Byakugan: "Sensei, Izumi must have thought of something just now, so she went back to get something."

Yun nodded, then took out a document and a Chunin vest.

"Since only Team 10 won the third round of the Chunin Exams, you have all become Chunin. Here are your appointment documents and vests; I've already prepared them for you."

When presented with the item, Tokuma smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you, teacher."

"He doesn't seem... very happy?"

Yun glanced at the vest that had been taken from him and said, "Being appointed as a Chunin means that the Hokage and we all believe that you can stand on your own from now on. You've been recognized, but you shouldn't be in this state."

Tokuma nodded silently.

You've been recognized...

After a moment, Tokuma murmured, "Huang, who was the elder's guard, has been punished today."

(Note: Huang is translated as Emperor, but I think the name Hyuga Emperor is a bit too much. This person is the guy next to the Hyuga elder during the Chunin Exams in the original work when Hinata was kidnapped by Kumogakure.)

punish?

The only punishment the Hyuga clan can inflict on members of the branch family is the Caged Bird Seal.

"call……"

After letting out a breath, Yun asked, "So... what are your thoughts?"

Tokuma slightly raised his head, his eyes seemingly suppressing his emotions to the extreme.

"Even as a Jonin, Huang could only collapse to the ground and wail under this cursed seal. What does becoming a Chunin even mean under the caged bird?"

"At that time... even Lord Hizashi could only watch from the sidelines!"

"As a member of the branch family, I must protect the main family with my life in order to ensure the continuation of the clan. There is no doubt about that. I would protect Hiashi-sama, Hinata-sama, and even Hanabi-sama with my life!"

"But...but that doesn't justify his mistreatment of us!"

As Tokuma grew increasingly agitated, he seemed to have found an outlet for his emotions, his clenched fists threatening to tear this unfair system apart.

"Ha ha……"

Laughter broke out, and Tokuma said in a low voice, "For such a trivial reason, even Hinata-sama stood in front of Akira, but that guy..."

After a long silence, Yun asked, "Hyuga Hiten? That old guy, I remember he was stripped of his status as a clan elder, wasn't he?"

(Note: If you have any doubts about whether the Hyuga clan has elders, please go back and watch Neji's memories and the scene where Hinata is captured during the Chunin Exams.)

Tokuma shook his head slightly: "It's been a long time. Recently, because of Hiashi-sama's actions, he was brought back into the spotlight. And this time, it seems more like a warning to the branch family."

Has it been pushed out again?

So these old, immortal guys are the real jerks...

Can't an old man from the Hyuga main family learn from the third generation who has already retired and is enjoying his retirement at home?

They come out and jump around all the time, aren't they afraid of accidentally jumping themselves to death?

Yun made a couple of complaints, then thought that given the current situation, it would be better for him to start the Hyuga project himself.

After Naruto confessed his feelings to Hinata at school, Minato's side, along with Hizashi and Hiashi, began to slowly take action.

It was gentle yet gradually gained strength, thanks to the lingering influence of the Five Great Ninja Villages Conference.

After this incident, it's uncertain whether the other four major ninja villages will still covet the power of the Byakugan.

But at least... because of my existence, they wouldn't dare use it even if they took it, and they might even have some reservations.

This is the best opportunity available before the final plan is finalized.

Thinking of this, Yun reached out and touched Dejian's forehead.

"Snapped."

He gently placed one hand on Dejian's forehead.

Secret Scroll: Decipher!

In an instant, a strange power emerged from Yun's hand.

Meanwhile, the curse mark of the caged bird on Tokuma's forehead was gradually erased.

"teacher?"

Tokuma's surprised voice rang out. After the caged bird was eliminated, its only blind spot in the 360-degree field of vision was also eliminated at this moment.

Although he knew his teacher could untie the caged bird long ago, ever since Yun made that promise.

But he hadn't expected it to be so easy.

and……

If I untie this, will my clan allow me to exist like this?

"Worry?"

Yun smiled and asked a question, then said, "What's there to worry about? When you get back, tie your headband somewhere else, and make sure your forehead is exposed."

"If anyone asks you, just say I solved it. If they have any complaints, let them come find me. This is a gift I'm giving you to celebrate your promotion to Chunin, and it's also a recognition of the power you now possess."

Agree?

Tokuma suddenly remembered what Kumo had said to him when they were still at the Ninja Academy.

A caged bird is a form of protection for the weak, but only a constraint for the strong.

Can I now be considered a strong person?

Don't get the wrong idea.

Yun joked, "Your current strength is barely enough to protect yourself."

As he spoke, Yun took the headband from his hand and then tied it to his shoulder: "The matter of the Hyuga clan's main family and branch family is progressing a bit slowly by the Hokage. At this time, as my disciple, you are just the right person to speed things up."

"Don't worry. No one has dared to question me yet."

Then, Yun turned around and waved her hand: "Practice for a while and then go back. I still have to deliver Hua's appointment letter. If Quan comes later, remember to keep it a secret. I can give her a surprise when I get back tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun disappeared from the spot.

Tokuma stared blankly in the direction they had left.

After a long while, he finally raised his hand and touched his forehead.

The caged bird is truly gone...

……

Konoha Hospital.

"Silence, how much longer until we can slip away?"

The listless Tsunade was asking what was already her daily routine.

Shizune, standing to the side, replied respectfully as always, but her answer clearly did not satisfy Tsunade.

The thought of Jiraiya sneaking out to have fun as soon as he returned to the village brought his anger to the brink of explosion.

"That damned Jiraiya!!"

With a curse, Tsunade's suppressed emotions exploded, and she raised her hand to smash her desk.

However, before her monstrous strength could land, Shizune spoke up: "Lady Tsunade, this table is the twenty-third one this month. The logistics department said it costs a total of 56,726 taels..."

"In other words, if this table gets damaged again, then Lady Tsunade will have to stay in the village for two more days."

Uh!

The power of money quelled Tsunade's anger, and her raised hand slowly lowered because of this power.

Then, out of boredom, Tsunade lazily looked around, seemingly looking for some amusement, and finally her gaze fell on the training flower.

"Dou didn't come today?"

Shizune shook her head: "The R&D department needs his involvement, it seems to be about the village's barrier."

Nodding, Tsunade sighed and said, "So people's talents are completely different. The talent you put into medical ninjutsu is already very good compared to ordinary people, but..."

But for that monster kid, it was far too little.

If it weren't for his background, having such a talented disciple as a male and female pair would be quite a good match.

However, it is clear that this is not possible at present.

Tsunade sighed...
