Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 222: Intervention

After standing up, Tokuma's words drew everyone's attention.

Even Hiashi and Hizashi set their sights on Tokuma.

Because at this moment they understood very well that whether Tokuma would be dealt with would be a turning point in their efforts.

Without the curse seal of the caged bird, the main family's seal cannot have any effect on it.

However, if they were to subdue him directly, there would be pressure from Uchiha Kumo.

To re-engrave the curse seal would be tantamount to slapping Uchiha Kumo across the face.

However, it is clear that as an elder of the Hyuga clan who has held power for so many years, Hyuga Hiten is well aware of the problems involved.

But at the same time, he also knew very well that he could not back down.

The fact that the Hiashi brothers were able to regain power was due to their actions under the old system. If they remain indifferent, their restored power will be taken back once again.

That's beyond doubt!

At this moment, Hyuga Hiten's hands were clenched into fists. Was he really going to confront the Uchiha, whose reputation was terrifying?

His white eyes furrowed slightly.

Hyuga Hiten looked at Tokuma and said, "You think I wouldn't dare kill you? Is that right?"

The questioning voice rang out, followed by, "As a member of the Hyuga branch family, you have long forgotten your mission. And now you even want to use the power of outsiders to rebel against your own destiny!"

"Tokuma... do you really believe... that Uchiha Kumo can interfere in the internal affairs of the Hyuga clan?!"

Amidst the angry rebuke, Hyuga Hiten stood up and walked towards Tokuma, glaring at him with his Byakugan eyes: "Even the Hokage has no right to interfere with the Hyuga clan's rules!!"

For a moment, Tokuma was pinned to the spot.

He also knew that this was the crux of the problem; his teacher's power was indeed formidable, powerful enough to make the entire ninja world wary.

But as this old man in front of me said, even the Hokage has no reason to interfere with the rules of the Hyuga clan.

The scene fell silent for a long time...

After a long pause, Hyuga Hiten spoke again, saying, "Go and invite Uchiha Kumo to the Hyuga clan's territory!"

"As Tokuma's mentor Jonin, he managed to erase the Caged Bird Seal of the Hyuga clan. I also want to ask him... who gave him such power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone ran out.

The old system also has its supporters, even if they are also victims of the system, but this will not change their minds.

Only when one is in the right can one be confident. Only by presenting a reason can one be wary of those with the power of Uchiha Kumo and feel that perhaps one can provoke them.

But obviously... this requires the other party to be willing to reason.

……

Hokage Building.

Having just received the intelligence from the Anbu, Shikaku hurriedly headed towards Minato.

After handing the information to Minato, Shikaku said, "Using the removal of the Caged Bird Seal as a gift for one's student's promotion to Chunin is indeed a bit reckless."

Minato smiled and put away the intelligence report in his hand: "Yun is getting impatient. He feels that we are moving too slowly, so he wants to solve the problem once and for all."

"call……"

Shikaku let out a breath: "But if this happens, our original plan to gradually work with Hiashi and the others will be completely ruined."

Minato nodded: "Yes, it is indeed in chaos. But it doesn't seem to matter much. With Yun around, the chaos will only be limited to the main branch of the Hyuga clan."

Shikaku replied, "My only concern right now is whether Kumo will lose his temper and wipe out all those old fogies from the Hyuga clan. Killing ninjas from your own village is no small crime."

Minato shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, Kumo isn't that irrational. Besides, at this point, only Kumo, as Tokuma's Jonin instructor, can get involved..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato stood up and went to the window, his gaze also fixed on the distant Hyuga clan's territory.

Even as the Hokage, he had no reason to go to the Hyuga clan's territory and participate in the reform of the old clan rules at this time.

However, the intervention of Uchiha Kumo itself will become a breach.

Once an incident escalates to the point of affecting Konoha, the Hokage has the right to intervene.

I suppose... Yun probably thinks the same way.

"Lord Hokage, it seems our actions are still considered somewhat weak by him..."

Shikaku's self-deprecating voice rang out.

Minato smiled and said, "In terms of gentleness, Yun is no less than us. In the Uchiha clan incident, he gradually achieved the situation we have today over several years. His methods are quite clear now."

Shikaku feigned doubt and asked, "Even looking back now, does the Hokage still think this is the best outcome?"

Minato turned to Shikaku: "No need to test me. You've seen the information Jiraiya-sensei brought back. The ninja world is currently peaceful, but who knows how long it will be before a storm begins..."

“In this situation, no one in Konoha would be a more suitable candidate than him. If Akatsuki, where Uzumaki Sora is located, really has that goal in the end, then the only one who can stop them is Kumo.”

Shikaku nodded, and after a long silence, said, "The reincarnation of the chakra of the Sage of Six Paths' two sons may inevitably lead to their fate. But... it's a bit too late..."

Upon hearing this, Minato frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "That's also what I'm worried about..."

"The suggestion from Yun is to split the Nine-Tails in half and seal half of its chakra inside Naruto's body."

"Under what circumstances do you think Yun would be so eager to push Naruto and Sasuke to grow?"

???

For a moment, Shikaku froze on the spot.

The Nara clan is known for its wisdom, and Shikaku, as the clan leader, is widely recognized for his exceptional intelligence.

The reason I didn't realize it before was simply because of the difference in our standing heights.

But after passing through the water gate, Shikaku finally realized what was happening.

The stone tablet beneath the Uchiha clan's Naga Shrine is currently only fully decipherable by Uchiha Kumo's eye power.

Even the truth or falsehood of the latter part cannot be verified by anyone.

Given the signs of his bloodline reverting to its ancestral form, no one knows how many secrets he alone has discovered.

But if even Yun wants Naruto and Sasuke to grow up as quickly as possible, then what kind of terrifying enemy is there? Is it really just Uzumaki Sora?

"Lord Hokage..."

Minato waved his hand slightly: "Don't be too nervous, Shikaku. These are just my guesses. In any case... we can help him in other ways."

Shikaku nodded. Perhaps this was why the Hokage and Kushina were willing to remove the Nine-Tails...

Only with the restorative power of its pupil technique can the prerequisite for separation be met.

……

At the same time, two members of the Hyuga clan appeared in front of Yun, who had just left Konoha Hospital and was preparing to go home.

"Yu..."

One of them had barely spoken when he was stopped by his companion.

He then bowed slightly and said, "Lord Yun, Lord Hiashi requests your presence."

Yun smiled at the two people in front of him, and then disappeared from the spot in the next moment.

"Shh."

"Prepared to call me by my first name? Courage that doesn't match your strength... Do you think I wouldn't dare do anything to you? Is that it?"

Cold sweat trickled down her forehead. Yun smiled, turned around, and walked forward.

His companion then said in a deep voice, "You should know that for someone like him, killing you silently is no easier than crushing an ant."

"Gu..."

He swallowed hard and nodded blankly.

The two then followed, but dared not utter a single word along the way.

Having successfully persuaded Uchiha Kumo to return, their mission was complete. As for any show of force or intimidation, they weren't foolish enough to do that.

The speed just now, and the killing intent coming from behind, were as if he were facing a god.

……

Hyuga clan compound, meeting room.

Upon arriving here, the branch family members behind Hizashi, along with the two brothers Hiashi, stood up and bowed slightly.

"Lord Yun."

Neji and Hinata were also present, a sight that caused Hyuga Hiten and the men behind him to frown slightly.

Since when did the Hyuga clan have to bow down to the Uchiha clan?

Indeed, only under strict clan rules can Hyuga become the strongest Hyuga!

In a short time, this idea became even more deeply rooted.

Yun smiled and stepped forward to ruffle Hinata's hair: "Is school over? You probably don't like this kind of scene..."

Hinata was stunned as she felt the warmth above her head.

I don't know why, but it really feels warm...

With a teacher like that, Tokuma-nii is fearless, right?

Just like Naruto, I will not be afraid of anything!

"Teacher... can you help Tokuma-nii-san?"

A barely audible sound rang out, but everyone in the conference hall heard it.

For a moment, two different gazes converged on Hinata, but this did not frighten her.

Neji appeared in front of Hinata in a flash, looking at the guy opposite him with hostility.

"Well... they're all minor issues."

Yun stepped forward and asked Hiashi, "What brings the Hyuga clan here?"
