Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

This answer relieved Minato.

Although he had made up his mind, Obito and Rin remained Kakashi's pillars of support.

After Lin's death, every time he was late, he was commemorating the same person.

In this situation, we really can't afford to lose it again.

……

"Boss Yun, the atmosphere is really somber."

The little nine-tailed fox's voice appeared in her ear, and Yun glanced at it and said, "If you know the atmosphere is not right, shut up."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox quickly covered its mouth.

After a long pause, Minato spoke up: "We already know some of the known members of Akatsuki. But could their leader be Obito?"

Yun replied, "With Uzumaki Sora present, Obito's power is not enough to contend with him. That kind of Wood Release wide-range attack is precisely the most suitable technique to deal with him."

Minato nodded: "It seems we can only wait until Jiraiya-sensei returns to the village to see if we can find any specific information."

At this point, Minato looked at the little Nine-Tailed Fox on Kumo's shoulder: "Kumo told me that you are very familiar with the Sage of Six Paths. And now we need to know about this legendary figure, his specific personality and what he has done."

When she finally got to talk about herself, the Nine-Tailed Fox perked up immediately.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly stopped.

Then... Little Nine-Tailed Fox stretched out a claw, trying to rub it, but found that its claws seemed unable to do so.

So the Nine-Tailed Fox could only extend its other claw, rub the two claws together, and look at Minato with a smile.

But clearly, this action only left Minato completely bewildered.

At this moment, Yun was extremely embarrassed, rubbing her forehead and pretending not to see anything.

"Nine-Tails, what does this mean?"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox was stunned. Didn't you understand?

That's true. Human hands can do this kind of action, but our claws can't.

Should I just say it directly? That would be so embarrassing!

Then it rubbed its paws even more vigorously and looked at the Fourth Hokage with anticipation.

This situation baffled Shuimen.

Lu Jiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "You mean... you want something in return?"

Minato was puzzled by this: "Tailed beasts, as condensations of chakra, shouldn't need to eat, right? What do you want? Chakra?"

LOL!!

The little nine-tailed fox got angry and immediately pulled out a wad of small coins from under its bottom, then leaped onto the desk.

"Snapped."

With one claw pressing down on the money, he complained, "Your Konoha genin get paid for missions, right? As the strongest of the tailed beasts, am I really inferior to one of your genin?"

"Money! Everything's fine with money. I'll tell you anything. I can even tell you what kind of girls the old man liked when he was traveling!"

"Cough cough! Cough..."

These words almost made Yun choke on her own saliva. It was bad enough that the style of the scene was ruined, but now she was still on the road to self-destruction.

Although Old Man Liudao is dead, his bones have probably turned to dust, and the grass on his grave has grown into giant trees.

But Rokudo, with his peculiar fetishes, is probably watching this place right now.

Yun looked up and around, wondering if the old man of the Six Paths would suddenly jump out and slap the Nine-Tails twice.

At this moment, Little Nine-Tailed Fox turned to look at Yun: "Brother Yun, you don't believe me? Let me tell you, don't be fooled by how serious the old man always is, he is married and has children."

Yun sighed: I'm trying to save you, you idiot.

If Liu Dao were to suddenly appear at this moment, who knows if he actually possesses any power?

If it were someone at the Six Paths level, even I wouldn't be able to stop them.

Then, the Nine-Tails stared at Minato again and patted the desk with its claws.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Hokage, tell me, with my strength, am I strong enough to become a Jonin of Konoha?"

"And this rescue of Boss Yun's sister, although it's only right for a subordinate to follow the boss into battle, shouldn't we at least pay him for his life?"

"You yourself just said that if Izumi is killed, it will be a major disaster. Such a major disaster deserves at least an S-rank mission, right?"

"Stop standing there, give me the money!"

Looking at the claws demanding money in front of him, Minato felt utterly bewildered.

Is that a nine-tailed fox?

The Nine-Tails that once roared and threatened to destroy the world inside Kushina's body?

This guy is practically... a thug at the casino, isn't he?

Minato then looked at Yun: "This...you taught him?"

Yun waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't talk nonsense. How could I teach it these things? It's all self-taught. Yes! Self-taught!"

The weak explanation seems somewhat far-fetched.

At this moment, Shikaku said, "Lord Kurama, because your identity is not registered, you are not in the ninja register."

The Nine-Tailed Fox's gaze sharpened as she looked at Shikaku and said, "Don't say anything. Smart people are all the same. Your Nara clan is famous for its intelligence. That's what the eldest said."

Uh!

A black pot was placed on their head without any warning.

Yun looked at Shikaku and shook his head repeatedly: "I only said that the Nara family is famous for its intelligence, I didn't say anything else."

At this moment, Minato looked at the Nine-Tails and sighed: "Being a Jonin isn't something you can achieve just by having enough strength. And what you learn at the Ninja Academy isn't just about strength."

"As a member of Konoha, we can indeed register you and give you a ninja number. But if you want to take on missions, you'll need to learn how to do it."

"After studying, you become a genin by passing the genin exam, a chunin by passing the chunin exam, and finally a jonin by passing the final exam."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurama looked on incredulously: "I, the great one, actually have to take a test? Minato Namikaze, you haven't forgotten how powerful I am, have you?"

Shikaku, standing to the side, spoke up: "It is disrespectful to address the Hokage by his given name. As a ninja, you will be penalized. According to the rules, it's 1.5 million ryo."

???

Little Nine-Tailed Fox was stunned. She hadn't even gotten her money back yet, and now she was owed a huge sum of money!

Quit it!

Just as he was about to lose his temper, Shikaku's voice rang out again:

"But Lord Nine-Tails, you are not a ninja yet, so you do not need to bear this punishment."

No liability?

The little nine-tailed fox, who was about to bristle, relaxed.

But Shikaku didn't seem to intend to let it go: "However... if Lord Kurama registers as a ninja, then he will have to bear this punishment."

Hehe! You're waiting for me here, aren't you?

The Nine-Tailed Fox plopped down on the desk, crossing its front paws over its chest: "Let's make a deal! How much are you willing to pay for information about the Six Paths Elder?"

Shikaku smiled, unmoved: "Also... if you, Nine-Tails, choose to register as a Konoha ninja trainee, then this rescue mission will be recorded."

"Because of the clash with the Akatsuki, this mission will be classified as an S-rank mission, and the information about the Sage of Six Paths, since there is no battle involved, will be classified as an A-rank mission."

"These... are all paid for."

Shikaku's words were full of seduction.

One S-rank mission, plus one A-rank mission.

Little Nine-Tailed Fox already felt like she had countless coins...

When the time comes, I'll eat the meat and Shukaku will gnaw on the bones, and I'll drink the wine and Shukaku will lick the wine bottle.

The images kept flashing through her mind, and just thinking about them made the little nine-tailed fox grin.

"Good! Deal!"

At this moment, it had completely forgotten about the 1.5 million tael fine that Lu Jiu had mentioned earlier.

Meanwhile, Minato, who was standing to the side, did not stop them, even though he had a smile on his face.

Of all the people in Konoha Village, none can compare to the Nara clan in terms of strategy.

Of the three families of Ino-Shika-Cho, the Nara family has always been the leader, and the reasons for this are self-evident.

If even the Nine-Tails can't beat him, then Shikaku might as well throw away his brain.

Meanwhile, the clouds on the other side also remained silent, offering no words of advice.

Although it's his own fox, this fox just tried to pin the blame on him, the boss.

If it's not taught a lesson, it'll probably get even more arrogant in the future...

Itachi, who had been silent all along, raised his head slightly to look at the little Nine-Tails.

The reason I'm still here is to hear about the legendary Sage of Six Paths.

Ancestors of the Uchiha and Senju clans.

Such an existence may hold the secrets of the eternal kaleidoscope in its experiences.

Chapter 238: Figures in Mythology

"The old man... is actually a pretty boring person."

The little nine-tailed fox sat on the desk, its two front paws crossed over its chest, and slowly began to recount its memories from thousands of years ago.

"In your human understanding, we tailed beasts may have existed since ancient times. But in fact, we are the will created by the old man using Yin-Yang Release after he divided the chakra of the Ten-Tails."
