Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

He sighed, but then Jiraiya's gaze fell on the direction of the shopping street.

That place... was the place he longed for, and also the place where his inspiration would spring forth.

"Yun boy, Minato asked me to come to his house for dinner later, so I'll be going now!"

Jiraiya was saying this as he prepared to leave.

But just as he stepped out, Yun behind him spoke up, "Lord Jiraiya, are you going to the roof of the women's bathhouse? But do you think I planted a genjutsu in the Hokage's office just now after I learned you were back?"

Uh!

These words made Jiraiya retract his foot, and with a bewildered look, he turned around and said, "I'm not going to the bathhouse. Didn't I just say I'm going to Minato's house for dinner?"

After hesitating for a moment, Jiraiya said, "Why don't you break the illusion for me? I really need to go to the Minato family for dinner."

Yun smiled and replied, "When we go to the Hokage's house for dinner, the genjutsu won't be triggered, so don't worry."

rest assured?

How can I not feel at ease?!

I wanted to say something more, but Yun had already left on her own.

……

Chapter 233: The Vortex Void is Uchiha Cloud

Two months later, within the Land of Rain.

Jiraiya was walking through the drizzle when several pairs of eyes would occasionally glance at him, scrutinizing him.

It seems to have become even more xenophobic; has it reached this level?

Several years ago, when I met Uzumaki Sora in the Land of Rain, the country was also closed off, but it hadn't reached this point yet.

Over the course of two months, Jiraiya traveled to most of the locations that Uzumaki Sora had visited, based on a series of intelligence gathered from the black market.

Finally, he arrived in the country where he had first encountered it.

"The gap in intelligence is just too big..."

With a whisper, Jiraiya instantly left the street, reappearing in an alleyway.

Then, he took out a scroll.

It contains information obtained from Konoha, including confirmations and speculations about Uzumaki Sora and the Akatsuki organization.

"call……"

After exhaling, Jiraiya put the scroll away.

Is it the Akatsuki organization?

An organization that even Orochimaru and Sora Uzumaki would join, the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, and ultimate peace.

No matter how you look at it, this statement is hard to accept...

Are you going to Amegakure?

Hanzo has a bad temper, and if he's discovered, it will likely escalate into a diplomatic incident.

However, given Konoha's current strength, even that old man known as a demigod probably wouldn't dare to say anything...

With that thought in mind, Jiraiya headed towards Amegakure.

……

One day later, inside the tower of Amegakure.

At this moment, Nagato, Sora Uzumaki, and Konan are gathered here, and a barrier that shields their senses is set up around them.

"Apart from Konoha, the other four of the five great ninja villages have become lax in the past year or so."

Nagato looked at Sora and asked, "So...shall we begin? About the final plan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Nan, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback.

Shall we begin now?

However... the most crucial point of this plan is the selection of the person from the five great ninja villages who will eventually unite and achieve peace.

Neither he nor Nagato knew who this person was.

Shaking his head slightly, Uzumaki Sora replied, "It's not time yet. Apart from the Nine-Tails, capturing tailed beasts isn't actually that difficult. And the Nine-Tails... the power of Konoha shouldn't be underestimated either, as should that black guy on our side."

Nagato was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, he thought of the conversation he had with the Sea of ​​Ending after the battle.

There is still a hidden hand behind Madara Uchiha.

The Akatsuki organization is like a nested doll, with one layer inside another. Even with the Rinnegan, I am just the outermost layer.

So now...

Is the final layer of manipulation, standing behind Madara Uchiha... Black Zetsu?

He is entirely black and often appears alongside White Zetsu, responsible for intelligence matters for the entire Akatsuki organization.

Black Zetsu, it was actually this guy!

Sora smiled and asked, "Have you already guessed it? That's right, Black Zetsu is the mastermind behind Madara Uchiha."

After receiving confirmation from Uzumaki Sora, a piece of information stunned Nagato and Konan.

After a long pause, Konan hesitated before speaking, "Zetsu has always only been responsible for intelligence on the Akatsuki organization, and he has also rarely provided information to Obito Uchiha..."

and many more!

Xiao Nan paused at this point.

Because at this moment she also understood that by having access to intelligence, she could, to a certain extent, control Xiao's every move.

Juzo, Sasori, Kakuzu, Orochimaru, Deidara, Hidan... it seems that behind every person recruited, there is Zetsu's figure.

At this moment, Nagato asked in a deep voice, "In our last conversation, you mentioned the origin of White Zetsu. Can something created after the Infinite Tsukuyomi also devise such an astonishing scheme?"

"You must have misunderstood."

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "White Zetsu and Black Zetsu are not the same species. In fact, Black Zetsu does not have a name. The name Black Zetsu was given to him arbitrarily because of White Zetsu."

"Madara Uchiha believed that Black Zetsu was a product of his spirit and will, and that he would inevitably inherit his will and use your body to revive him in order to complete the final step of the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"However, in fact, Madara Uchiha was also unaware of the consequences of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. He believed that the inscription on the stone tablet at the Naga Shrine in the Uchiha clan territory was the true path to peace."

"But in fact, that was just the content that Black Zetsu had altered. Its purpose was simply to rescue its mother."

Mother???

There are still more!!!

At that moment, Nagato felt a chill run down his spine; he hadn't expected there to be someone else behind Black Zetsu...

Xiao... just how many layers of skin does he wear?

Layer upon layer, endlessly!

At this moment, Uzumaki Sora chuckled and said, "Yes, not only Black Zetsu's mother. Kaguya Otsutsuki should be considered the progenitor of chakra in this world."

“Speaking of which, although you, Nagato, do not have a surname, judging from your physique and red hair, your mother should be from the Uzumaki clan. So, this Kaguya Otsutsuki should be your ancestor.”

"As for her third son, Black Zetsu, what you should call him is a bit confusing."

In such a serious situation, the teasing remarks left Nagato and Konan without a single smile.

Especially Nagato, who had previously often touted himself as a god, now felt utterly ashamed as the layers of his past were being unearthed.

To use a phrase often used by Sora Uzumaki, it's like being pushed forward like an idiot, yet still completely unaware of it.

At this moment, Uzumaki Sora, still smiling, waved to the two of them: "Don't be so serious. Speaking of which, the evolution of this world over thousands of years since before ninjutsu was invented can actually be summarized in one word: Black Zetsu saves his mother."

"Starting thousands of years ago, after Kaguya's eldest and second sons, the brothers Hagoromo and Hamura, sealed away their mother Kaguya, Black Zetsu began its plan to save her."

"Here's a reminder: Hagoromo Otsutsuki is the legendary Sage of Six Paths in the ninja world."

"So... in terms of concealment alone, even the Sage of Six Paths didn't discover Black Zetsu's existence at that time."

It felt like a consolation, yet also like a more severe blow.

The Sage of Six Paths...

Nagato reached out and touched his eyes. The reason these Rinnegan were able to subdue the members of Akatsuki was not only due to the power of Pain, but also partly due to this legend...

Even the immortal in the legends still didn't notice Black Zetsu's existence.

So what am I anyway?

Gods?

It's absolutely a joke!

"Nagato..."

Konan's voice startled Nagato awake. Looking at the two people in front of him, he thought about the path ahead.

True peace...

The will left behind by Yahiko, and the will I have inherited, are what we should be considering now.

Thinking of this, Nagato looked at Sora and asked, "Then... what is the final step in your ultimate plan, the backup plan you left for the Five Great Shinobi Villages?"

The last question was asked, but Kong didn't rush to answer it.

For a moment, the tower fell silent.

After a long pause, Xiao Nan spoke up: "The layers of people behind the scenes have already made us somewhat uneasy. Uzumaki Sora, how can you prove that you are not one of those below Black Zetsu?"

"Sweep everyone away. If Uchiha Kumo, the only one who can stand against you, dies, then you will be the strongest force in this world."

"In this way... both power and money will become readily available to you."

As soon as the words were spoken, both of them stared at the Vortex Sky.

Under the gaze of the two, Sora sighed and then said, "The final step I left among the Five Great Ninja Villages is not something I cannot tell you. But after knowing this secret, you will inevitably carry out my will."

"If you betray me... then for true peace to finally come, I will have no choice but to kill you!"
