Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Born in an orphanage whose director was once an elite spy for Root.

After being targeted by Danzo, he was rescued by Uzumaki Sora. Later, it was also because of Uzumaki Sora that the Fourth Hokage was able to discover the child's talent.

This experience, no matter how you look at it, seems like that of a spy planted in Konoha.

The protective barrier set up by the R&D department will probably also have something in store to guard against this kid when it's finally completed...

"Hey……"

After another sigh, Tsunade looked out the window: "Is this a visit to their disciple? They insist on using the window instead of the main entrance. Just like Jiraiya, they have no manners."

Yun, who appeared in the room in an instant, smiled and said, "You can't compare me to him. Although he can be quite reliable at times, his motives for prying open windows are not always pure."

Tsunade stood up and waved at Yun: "You're not that old, but you talk like you know everything. You wouldn't happen to be... a fan of Jiraiya's books, would you?"

A book lover?

Yun almost choked and immediately replied, "Kakashi is the one who's a fan of his books, not me."

As he spoke, Yun took out the appointment document and his vest: "The entire Team 10 has been promoted to Chunin. I'm here to deliver something."

At this moment, Hua, who was standing nearby, heard the noise and finished her training and came over.

"Teacher, have all the students in Class 10 been promoted?"

Yun nodded and handed the documents and vest to Hua, then smiled and said, "When I came, I thought for a long time but couldn't think of a gift for you. After all, the Inuzuka clan has its own secret techniques, so I could only buy a complete ninja tool kit as a gift."

Hana took the ninja tool kit and replied with a smile, "Thank you, teacher."

Tsunade, standing to the side, curled her lip: "This is all the gifts a disciple can give? What about the other two? Are they also ninja tool kits?"

Yun coughed awkwardly and replied, "As for Tokuma, I did remove the Caged Bird Seal from his forehead. As for Izumi... once she becomes a capable Chunin, perhaps we could lift her curfew?"

At this moment, Tsunade's smile gradually froze. She didn't hear Yun's last words at all, but the phrase "the bird in the cage has been freed" kept replaying in her mind.

That's really... incredibly audacious.

Hua nudged Yun's shoulder and whispered, "Teacher... are you alright?"

Yun smiled and shook his head: "If there are any problems, just have the Hyuga clan come to me. I have already instructed Tokuma on this."

"After such a lukewarm reception, it might be worthwhile to add fuel to the fire and see their reaction. Tokuma is my disciple, and with me behind him, if Hizashi ultimately backs down, then we can only continue to wait."

At this moment, Tsunade, who was standing to the side, let out a breath and said after catching her breath, "You really are willing to do anything for your disciple."

As she spoke, Tsunade glanced at Inuzuka Hana. After this incident, if the Hyuga branch family could achieve its goal, then the value of Uchiha Yun's identity as a disciple would likely skyrocket.

"Is it just a matter of stance? With your current prestige, if Minato doesn't say anything, no one will dare to cause you trouble."

Yun nodded: "I need Richa to give me the issue of stance, but if he still gives in in the end, then I will have no stance left."

After pondering for a moment, Tsunade asked, "Have we already communicated with the Fourth Hokage?"

Yun shook his head: "Not yet. I just felt that Tokuma's emotions were a bit off, so I simply helped him remove the curse seal. It's just adding fuel to the fire, whether it's on the Hokage's side or the Hyuga's side."

This answer left Tsunade somewhat flustered.

But thinking about it, only Uchiha Yun could be so willful as to do such a thing, right?

The arrangement of having them become mentors and lead teams on missions was perhaps intended from the outset to foster a bond between them.

And being able to go to such lengths for one's disciples is perhaps the scenario the Fourth Generation wanted to see.

The deeper the bonds forged within the village, the less likely Uchiha Kumo would betray it. When those bonds become so strong, connecting the entire village…

That time... might be the time when a Hokage emerges from the Uchiha clan.

At this moment, Tsunade thought of another rumor: the marriage between the Hokage and the Hyuga clan.

Given Kushina's temperament, that daughter of the main branch of the family who was rumored to have been dropped from the ninja academy...

Kushina would never allow her daughter-in-law to be carved into a caged bird.

Rubbing her slightly sore forehead, Tsunade turned to Shizune and asked, "This is getting more and more troublesome. Should we just run away?"

Shizune replied helplessly, "Lady Tsunade, we still have a lot of debts to repay..."

"Hey……"

Chapter 221: Naruto and Hinata

Hinata, what's wrong?

Naruto was a little puzzled, because Hinata didn't seem very happy all day.

After that incident, Naruto would walk Hinata home every day after school at the Ninja Academy.

However, recently, Neji, who is a year older, has also been traveling with them. Sasuke, on the other hand, disappeared as soon as school was over today because Itachi came back.

“Naruto…kun…”

Hinata stammered.

Neji, who was standing nearby, then spoke up: "Is it because of Brother Huang?"

Hinata nodded: "Neji-nii... Elder doesn't listen to my explanation."

Neji replied, "It's not your fault. At that time, neither Father nor the clan head could stop it. Hinata was too young to do anything."

Completely confused, Naruto looked at the two of them, scratched his head, and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Neji turned to look at Naruto: "Yesterday, as the eldest brother of the branch family, in front of Lady Hinata... he was provoked by the elders to activate the cursed seal of the Caged Bird."

Naruto was taken aback by these words.

Neji already knew what the curse mark on his forehead was from the last time at the barbecue restaurant.

In order to prevent Hinata from developing this condition on her forehead, Naruto set his sights on becoming Hokage.

"We're all from the same family, there's no benefit in doing this..."

Naruto clenched his fist as he spoke in a low voice, but Neji's mocking laughter interrupted him.

"Ha ha……"

"How could there be no benefit?"

Neji gave a bitter smile: "It seems I've provoked Hiashi-sama and Father-sama's recent actions. My purpose is to make the branch family members realize their place by showing them the pain of Kou-sama."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto realized the key point.

As the son of the Hokage, the Naruto of today is very different from the Naruto in the original story.

Under the tutelage of Minato, Kushina, Rin Uzumaki, Itachi, and Yun, although their personalities remained carefree, their sensitivity to many things had become much stronger.

"Has Dad made any moves too?"

Neji nodded and replied, "Without the Hokage, the clan head and Hizashi-sama probably wouldn't have taken these actions."

At that moment, Naruto reached out and put his hands on Neji and Hinata's shoulders: "Don't worry, if your dad doesn't succeed, the day I become Hokage, I will definitely abolish the existence of this thing! Trust me!"

Hinata blushed slightly, but still nodded firmly.

While Neji didn't make any sarcastic remarks, he still sighed and said, "The Hokage's support is crucial, but the internal problems of the village and clans cannot be resolved with just a few words."

As Neji spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, then looked at Naruto and smiled, "However, it's also possible that this matter will be resolved before you even become Hokage..."

"Snapped."

He slapped Naruto's paw off Hinata's shoulder, saying, "Lady Hinata hasn't agreed to your request yet, so please don't make such frivolous moves..."

Naruto rubbed his hand in pain and muttered, "Hinata is going to be my wife, so Neji will be my brother-in-law... Oh well, I won't argue with my brother-in-law."

Unfortunately, their muttering was a bit too loud. Neji glared at Naruto, and for a moment, sparks flew between their eyes.

A slightly flustered Hinata quickly blocked their view, but the thought of her wife made her blush instantly.

"Naruto... Naruto-kun, wife... this term... is acceptable... in the future..."

In a barely audible voice, Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and asked, "Hinata, does that mean you've agreed?"

"Om..."

Just like a steamer boiling over, Hinata, whose hands were being held, suddenly swayed precariously.

Neji, who had been ignored, got angry and grabbed Hinata, quickly swatting away Naruto's paw.

"Got home."

Those three simple words immediately silenced Naruto, and indeed, they had arrived at the gates of the Hyuga clan's territory.

Without a reason to protect him, there's no way he could possibly go in with her...

Naruto scratched his head, waved his hand, and said, "See you tomorrow, Hinata... I'll ask you again tomorrow."

Tomorrow? Do you really need to ask such a strange question tomorrow?

promise?

You won't agree?

But it seems like both I and Naruto are too young...

If I graduate... will we be able to get married?

A series of questions popped into Hinata's mind, and her already flushed face seemed to grow even hotter.

Finally, unable to withstand it, Hinata fainted without hesitation.

"Naruto!!!"

Amidst roars and a flurry of activity from Neji and Naruto, Hinata finally woke up.

In the end, Naruto was also driven away by Neji. There was really no way to resist the pressure from his brother-in-law.

……

When Neji and Hinata returned to the Hyuga clan's territory, they clearly noticed the heavy atmosphere within the clan.

"Was that Tokuma who just came back?"

“It’s him, but…”

"I remember he had a cursed mark carved on his forehead when he was a child? How come..."
