Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"The bloodline of the Kurama clan?"

Inside the Hokage Building, Yun asked in confusion, "I remember that although the Kurama clan is skilled in genjutsu, it seems that no one in this generation has awakened a bloodline limit, right?"

Minato on the other side nodded: "The abilities of the Kurama clan have rarely appeared in the past, but in this generation, a girl has inherited this power."

Girl?

Yun suddenly remembered something from her memory: in the TV original version, there seemed to be a girl named Kurama Yakumo who had the ability to turn the unreal into reality.

The ability to project a fake painting onto reality using a canvas as a medium.

Yun frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

The Yin-Dun power, which originates from the spiritual energy that governs imagination, creates form from nothingness.

Based on this setting, it seems that the abilities of the Kurama clan have reached a certain extreme.

At this moment, Shikaku, who was behind Minato, said, "For some reason, they are not clear about the abilities of the Kurama clan, and the girl who inherited the power does not seem to be able to control it well."

"And within the entire Hidden Leaf Village, in terms of genjutsu alone, the Uchiha clan is at the top. Therefore..."

Yun shrugged and replied, "So after graduating from Class 10, you've found me another burden?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Minato, seemingly choked by something, chuckled and said, "On the Kurama clan's side, the one who appeared in the Hyuga clan's territory along with the Uchiha clan was this little girl's uncle, Kurama Unkai."

Uh.

So sometimes, favors have to be repaid.

Yun recalled the clan leader of the Kurama clan back then, when the Uchiha chose to side with their clan in order to reintegrate into Konoha.

It's normal for relationships to have give and take; that's just how things are.

Minato, behind the desk, continued, "The power to create form from nothing comes from her bloodline, but perhaps because of this, her body is also extremely weak."

“Kurama Yakumo, something else may have been nurtured in this little girl’s spiritual world. The great fire that ravaged the Kurama clan last night was its doing.”

At that moment, Shikaku handed over a document.

After opening and looking at it, Yun said, "Did he accidentally kill his parents because of the rampage of his power? And after waking up this morning, he forgot everything?"

Minato nodded: "Under normal circumstances, he should have been locked up in a heavy prison and kept under strict guard, but Yunhai's words have changed my mind."

"The only victims are Kurama Yakumo's parents, and her parents certainly wouldn't want their daughter to be imprisoned. At the same time, Kurama Yakumo now carries the hope of the Kurama clan's resurgence."

"So Kurama Unkai's intention is to have Unkai teach Yakumo how to control his power. And if possible, the child's wish is to become a powerful ninja."

Shikaku sighed, "Two years ago, Kurama Yakumo was sent to the Ninja Academy, but because his physical abilities couldn't keep up, his parents took him home, and he gradually gave up on his goal of becoming a ninja. But..."

The rest was left unsaid, but Yun already understood perfectly.

The Kurama clan has not seen a new generation inheriting the bloodline for many years, and Yakumo's sudden appearance inevitably carries the hopes of the clan.

Under these circumstances, Yakumo Kurama must have been influenced by the voices around him from a young age, which was meant to make him a powerful ninja.

Subtly and gradually, becoming a ninja inevitably became a knot in her heart.

With the ability to create form from nothingness, this inner conflict shaped a monster called Idu within him.

"Alright, so do I need to go to the Kurama clan next?" Yun said, putting the document back.

Minato shook his head and replied, "Kurama Unkai was worried that if his power were to erupt again, it would harm innocent people, so he arranged for Kurama Yakumo to stay at the villa in Satomi Hill."

As he spoke, Minato handed over a visiting card.

"However, you don't need to go. Kurama Unkai will bring Kurama Yakumo to visit you at the Uchiha clan's territory tomorrow at noon."

As a result, Yun smiled and put away the invitation.

So sometimes people are completely different in how they handle things. Yesterday, that old man, Hyuga Hiten, couldn't tell the difference between two, five, eight, and ten thousand.

Looking at the Kurama clan, even when they asked for favors based on personal connections, they still demonstrated their sincerity in doing so.

"That's settled then. I'll wait for him at home tomorrow. But since it's so formal, I'll have to make sure I brew some tea at home."

Yun then looked at Minato and asked, "Has the division of the Nine-Tails been agreed upon?"

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the office.

After a long pause, Minato turned to Yun and asked, "Regarding the Nine-Tails splitting off half of its body and sealing it inside Naruto, Yun, could you tell me why you were in such a hurry?"

"Does the stone tablet left behind by the Sage of Six Paths record what other enemies even Yun finds troublesome?"

Shuimen's question startled Yun.

Is this... just my imagination?

Heaven knows he was only doing this for the sake of the protagonist's change rate. As for the enemy, does Uzumaki Sora count?

After a moment of thought, Yun said, "It has always been uncertain whether the inscription on the stone tablet at the Naga Shrine in the Uchiha clan's territory was truly left by the Sage of Six Paths."

Upon hearing this, Minato's gaze narrowed slightly as he asked, "Then, Yun, who do you think left this behind?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "The stone tablet has been there for thousands of years, so I couldn't possibly know. But if the so-called peace of Infinite Tsukuyomi was left by the Sage of Six Paths, then why didn't he, who was called the Sage, complete Infinite Tsukuyomi himself in the first place?"

As soon as he finished speaking, both Minato and Shikaku fell into deep thought.

As the legendary progenitor of ninjas, he was even given the title of sage.

With that kind of power, tailed beasts wouldn't be a problem. So why didn't he implement the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which he considered a true method of peace?

The inscription on the stone tablet... was not left by the Sage of Six Paths!

So... who could it be?!

At this moment, Yun spoke up, "During the Joint Chunin Exams, that guy with the whirlpool mask and a Sharingan, after he disappeared, another shadowy figure spoke with me for a while... and revealed information about the stone tablet..."

Lu Jiu, who was standing to the side, said in a deep voice: "In this situation... it's either equality or the shadowy figure's status is above that of the masked man."

With his eyes closed, Minato seemed to be deep in thought.

The guy with the vortex mask is Obito, and the shadowy figure looks the same as the one Uzumaki Sora showed during their first transaction.

Could it be Obito and Sora Uzumaki?

Given Uzumaki Sora's intelligence capabilities, it's not surprising that he could know the records on the stone tablet.

A moment later, Minato opened his eyes and looked at Yun, saying, "Let's begin tonight. A sudden action will also prevent Uzumaki Sora from realizing that Yun's recovery ability has been depleted."

After a moment of surprise, Shikaku hesitated for a moment upon hearing this: "Isn't it a little too tight?"

Minato shook his head slightly: "Uzumaki Sora's intelligence capabilities are unpredictable. In this situation, the more impromptu the decision, the more likely it is to be unexpected."

"Naruto didn't expend any energy when training the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, but that might be because the other side knew the information. And this time, after Kushina lost her tailed beast, she will definitely use the Cloud's abilities."

As he spoke, Minato checked the time, then looked up and said, "Four hours from now, the moment it gets dark, I need a secluded spot. Barriers, seals, and everything else need to be set up."

After the order was given, Lu Jiu nodded and went to make the arrangements.

Regardless, the Hokage's orders must be carried out.

After Shikaku left, Minato looked at Kumo and said, "Let's go, let's start now."

???

Yun paused for a moment, but still nodded.

As expected of the "Eternal Sister," he was indeed very cautious when it came to the issue of Kushina and Naruto.

……

On the commercial street, Yun, walking along the street in her shadow clone form, looked at the weapon shop next to her.

At this moment, the figure that came out from inside also looked at Yun, hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

"Lord Yun."

Yun looked at Asuma in front of him: "With that beard, I feel like I should call you uncle. If you call me 'sir,' it'll be really awkward..."

Asuma smiled, then looked at the dumpling shop next door: "Would you like a cup of tea?"

After considering it for a moment, Yun nodded.

The two then sat down in the dumpling shop, but neither of them spoke.

After a long pause, Yun asked, "Compared to the Temple of Fire, are you getting used to it?"

Asuma nodded: "Although I served as the Guardian of the Twelve Ninja for several years, Konoha is my village."

Asuma smiled and said, "Actually, just look at the village and the Uchiha clan now, and you can already draw a conclusion."

Yun looked up slightly: "What conclusion?"

Asma replied, "The old man is wrong about that conclusion."

"The old man, who had experienced several Shinobi World Wars, always had a different kind of feeling towards war. In fact... you could also say he was weak."

"The five great ninja villages are holding a joint Chunin Exam, and the leaders of each village are all gathered in Konoha. This is something that the old man could never have imagined when he was the Hokage."

After he finished speaking, Yun smiled and replied, "The relationship between fire and leaves was first proposed by the Third Generation, but it seems that you, as his son, are better able to understand its true meaning."

At that moment, a woman walked into the meatball shop.

Asuma stood up and waved, and then Kurenai Yuhi walked over.

"Lord Yun."

Yun glanced at the two of them, then gave a strange smile: "So... you're together?"

These words made Kurenai's face turn red instantly, and she waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No...not yet."

Asuma calmly replied, "For now... we haven't officially defined our relationship."

Yun nodded and stood up: "Alright, then I won't bother you two anymore. Hmm... so as not to corrupt this fourteen-year-old kid?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a member of the secret service appeared behind Yun: "Lord Yun, we are ready."

Yun's shadow clone nodded, then smiled at the two of them before disappearing from the spot in an instant.

Meanwhile...

Inside the mountain, both the cloud formations and the water gate are located.

“I have already checked this area, and apart from my Flying Thunder God Technique, there are no other techniques present.”

Yun nodded.
