Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"Naruto's words..."

Shikaku's hesitant voice rang out, and after everyone looked over, he continued, "It is known that Naruto has the chakra of the second son of the Sage of Six Paths, but according to legend, the Sage of Six Paths' eyes were not Byakugan, but Rinnegan."

"The same ancestor. The meaning of this sentence may not be limited to the Sage of Six Paths. If we trace it back further... the Goddess of the Rabbit."

"Given Uzumaki Sora's past reputation for integrity in transactions, if Naruto can, he probably won't just mention the Moon."

At this point, Shikaku fell silent.

But these words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the two brothers' heads.

Yun nodded: "That's true, but there should actually be another possibility."

Hiashi and Hishi exchanged a glance, and the two bowed slightly to Yun.

This action also represents the will of both of them.

The Fifth Hokage would be a member of the Uchiha clan, or more precisely, the Uchiha Cloud.

Yun smiled and waved her hand: "There's no need for that. In my opinion, many things can be discussed openly, and there's no need to hide them."

"The Uchiha are the Uchiha of Konoha, and the Hyuga are also the Hyuga of Konoha. To become Hokage, one needs the recognition of the entire village, not just strength."

"If we can't even trust the people in our own village, then what's the difference between us, the current high-ranking officials of Konoha, and those of the previous generation who never trusted the new generation?"

Minato paused for a moment, then gave a casual, helpless smile.

Over the years, perhaps even he himself has become accustomed to this way of handling things.

Jiraiya, standing to the side, frowned. Although he was also dissatisfied with the old man's laissez-faire attitude, that man was, after all, his teacher.

As for Shikaku, he kept his head down and said nothing.

Although he had been serving as the Hokage's assistant since the Fourth Hokage took power, it was still not appropriate for him to speak at this time.

"Arrange for Naruto and Hinata to go to the research and development department. I heard that Kabuto has completed some new technologies. Whether they are feasible or not needs to be verified."

Minato directly stated the arrangement that the Hyuga brothers most wanted to hear. As for the danger, with Naruto present and him watching over things, there would be no problem.

They know how to maintain a proper sense of proportion.

At this moment, Yun thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps there is some problem with your understanding."

The group of people all looked over at once.

Yun continued, "If Shikaku's guess is correct, then the other Otsutsuki Hamura, besides the Sage of Six Paths, should possess a power similar to the Byakugan."

"As a descendant of the Otsutsuki, Hyuga should also possess the Otsutsuki bloodline. Over time, perhaps the bloodline has become diluted, which is why he was unable to obtain the ultimate power of the Byakugan."

"Based on this, it is possible that the Hyuga clan itself contains the latent genes of the Otsutsuki clan. And the Ashura chakra in Naruto's body should perhaps be used as a trigger."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded.

Minato said, "I will explain this to the R&D department."

He then looked at Hiashi Hyuga and said, "Head of the Hyuga clan, perhaps you will need to visit Lady Tsunade tomorrow. With her there, the success rate can be greatly increased."

Rizu nodded, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Hinata may have played a part in allowing Hyuga's power to increase, but the Hokage's trust in Hyuga is the most significant factor.

"Don't overthink it. Although Konoha seems safe, the future of the ninja world is not peaceful since Akatsuki and Uzumaki Sora appeared."

Yun's voice rang out: "If Hyuga can obtain the ultimate power of the Byakugan, it will only benefit Konoha."

Hiashi bowed slightly: "Hyuga will always be Konoha's Hyuga."

……

Having obtained what they wanted, Hiashi and Hizashi quickly took their leave.

After the two left, Jiraiya teased, "Looks like your in-laws are already decided?"

Minato smiled helplessly and replied, "Let them decide what the future holds. Both Naruto and Hinata are still young."

At this point, Minato then said in a deep voice, "We still need to ask you for help, Master, regarding the information about the Otsutsuki clan from Mount Myōboku."

Jiraiya waved his hand: "I understand... I know that as the Hokage, you can't possibly go to Mount Myōboku to look through the stone carvings every day. It's mainly because the Great Toad Sage loves to sleep too much, and he's basically drowsy every day."

Feeling drowsy?

One of the clouds smiled.

That old toad is definitely not senile. Although he sometimes doesn't recognize Jiraiya, only he knows the truth.

In my memory, when Pain attacked, Gamamaru, who was watching the battlefield with a crystal ball, didn't seem senile at all.

As the original inhabitants of this world, he believed that the existence of the Divine Tree and Kaguya threatened the very foundation of this world, so he persuaded the Hamura and Hagoromo brothers to seal Kaguya away.

Such an existence... is not simple.

It's worth noting that even the Sage of Six Paths' sage techniques were taught by it.

“We haven’t figured out Indra’s and Ashura’s chakra yet, and now the ultimate power of the Byakugan has appeared… Uzumaki Sora must be even stronger now.”

Shikaku's voice rang out, and then everyone fell silent.

That was the truth, but it left the group feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

If it weren't for Uchiha Kumo's existence, Konoha might not even have been able to put up a fight.

This is also why Minato divided half of the Nine-Tails' power into Kumo's. Under the pressure of Uzumaki Sora, he could only try to enhance Kumo's power in order to contend with him.

"cloud."

Minato looked over: "Hasn't a new power been born yet?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "Although it has been more frequent recently, it really hasn't happened yet. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan may already be the pinnacle for the Uchiha clan. The level they reach next may have already surpassed the Uchiha clan, so it is indeed a bit slow."

These words weighed heavily on everyone's minds.

In the final battle at the Sea of ​​Ending, Yun was able to win because of the power of the Death Gate in the Eight Gates Formation.

This power, combined with his instantaneous recovery eye technique, was enough to kill Uzumaki Sora in an instant.

However, based on the information that Kakashi and Itachi brought back at the time, the green ore full of life energy that Uzumaki Kakashi used also had the ability to regenerate.

Therefore, if one cannot kill the other in an instant, then the advantages and disadvantages are the same.

The scene remained silent for a long time.

Finally, Jiraiya spoke up, saying, "Sage Techniques? You probably don't possess the power of Sage Techniques yet, do you?"

Minato nodded: "With the bloodline of the Cloud clan reverting to its ancestral form, it has even developed characteristics of the Uzumaki clan. Its massive chakra is indeed suitable for Sage Mode training."

Seeing that Yun seemed somewhat dismissive, Jiraiya immediately became anxious.

He leaned closer and winked, "Young Yun, don't underestimate the power of immortal techniques!"

"The Sage Techniques inherited from Mount Myōboku can not only enhance the speed and power of taijutsu, but also amplify the power of ninjutsu. You should know that even the First Hokage's Wood Release technique was only able to be perfectly released based on Sage Techniques."

Yun smiled and shook his head: "Immortal arts are indeed powerful, and they can be learned. I am not completely ignorant about immortal arts, after all, I have read many documents over the years in order to obtain information about Uzumaki Sora."

"But the use of the Eight Gates shouldn't be combined with Sage Mode, right? That state is purely taijutsu, and the rampaging chakra after the restrictions are lifted makes the whole body covered in blood-red steam..."

"In this state, I'm afraid no technique can be used."

These words left Jiraiya stunned.

It seems... that's indeed the case.

After a moment's thought, Minato said, "You should still learn it. In any case, Sage Mode can enhance your power in your normal form."

"Because of my limited chakra reserves, I am not good at Sage Mode. But judging from the amount of chakra I have, it should be easy for me to quickly master the balance."

"Moreover, in addition to the Eight Gates, Susanoo, the Nine-Tails, and Sage Mode should give it power that surpasses its previous state."

……

Ultimately, the plan for Uchiha Un to learn Sage Mode was finalized.

Just like a year ago, the pressure from Uzumaki Sora forced Minato and Jiraiya to trust only Kumo.

Because... only clouds can fight against the vortex sky.

However, the trip to Mount Myōboku to learn sage techniques was postponed, as Jiraiya would need to leave the village again the next day.

He returned this time only to retrieve some old intelligence; after reviewing it, there were some things he needed to verify.

But he didn't say what it was.

……

After leaving the Hokage Building, Jiraiya went up and put his arm around Yun's shoulder.

"Young Yun, after you've learned the immortal arts, shouldn't you call me teacher?"

Yun turned to look at Jiraiya: "Is this appropriate? After all, I should be stronger than you right now, right?"

Jiraiya shook his head: "You can't say that. The power of Sage Mode is not weak in the entire ninja world. Only a master-disciple relationship can teach you this power."

Yun smiled and replied, "A few years ago, the Twelve Guardian Shinobi of the Fire Temple split up, and one of them even resurrected the corpse of the Third Raikage."

"I witnessed the Hokage's Sage Mode during this incident, where he absorbed energy from the air and then eye shadow appeared. Perhaps I will be able to do it in time without anyone's guidance."

???

Jiraiya was stunned.

You'll be able to do it yourself after a while? No way!

He went through countless hardships to complete his training in Sage Mode, and even then, it was with the help of the toad oil from Mount Myōboku.

How is it possible to learn something without a teacher?

and many more!

At this moment, Jiraiya remembered something that happened a year ago when he was looking for Tsunade to prevent Uzumaki Sora from obtaining the power of Sage Mode.

At that time, Tsunade once said that perhaps the First Hokage's Sage Mode was not obtained from Shikkotsu Forest.

Combining the phenomenon of cloud veins...

Maybe they really can learn it on their own!

Jiraiya was somewhat dejected. He had originally hoped to use his status to avenge the arrow that had struck him, but now it seemed hopeless.

"Forget it, there's no need to become an apprentice."
