Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Itachi's hands were clenched tightly together; the kaleidoscope alone was far from enough.

Even Indra, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, is only the other party's grandson in this respect...

"Itachi, what's wrong?"

Minato's concerned voice rang out.

Itachi didn't hide anything and directly revealed Black Zetsu's identity.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

After a long silence, Minato finally spoke, asking, "In your report a few years ago, you didn't mention anything about Kaguya Otsutsuki's will manifesting as an avatar. And this information about Kaguya was brought back from Mount Myōboku by Jiraiya-sensei two months ago..."

"It was a perfect missed opportunity."

"If it hadn't been brought up by chance this time, we probably wouldn't have known that there was such an ancient being, with an embodiment of will."

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent again.

Even Shikaku was flustered at this moment.

The Sage of Six Paths' mother, even just her will, possesses an unknown power.

Can the clouds... possibly defeat it?

Can Konoha... stand against such an existence?

You know... she's the mother of a mythological figure!

Moreover... there's also a vortex void.

At this moment, Yun, who was standing to the side, had her head down.

But he was also somewhat surprised that Black Zetsu's existence had been directly exposed.

When he made the deal with Itachi, he casually mentioned Black Zetsu's identity.

After all, there was no written record of Kaguya Otsutsuki in the original work that I remember.

But considering that old toad on Mount Myōboku has lived for so long, and in his youth he was on friendly terms with the Six Paths of Hell, and lived for thousands of years...

With this old guy around, it's understandable that Kaguya Otsutsuki's identity is recorded on Mount Myōboku.

So...

For ninjas, intelligence is just a matter of finding a target; once they have a target, they'll always find a record of it.

"call out!"

Outside the Hokage Building, the cry of the Ninja Hawk rang out.

This made everyone look out the window.

A short while later, the code team knocked on the door and came in.

Immediately afterwards, the two translated scrolls were opened by the water gate.

"Phew... It's a letter of inquiry from the Land of Rain, and information about Jiraiya-sensei."

Shikaku asked, "The two of them arrived at the same time. Is there some problem with the Land of Rain?"

Minato handed the scroll to Shikaku: "When I left the village last time, Jiraiya-sensei asked for some information about Uzumaki Sora. For the past two months, he has been investigating the Akatsuki organization and Uzumaki Sora."

"However, the discovery of the Land of Rain doesn't seem to be related to Akatsuki or Uzumaki Sora, at least not that my teacher has found out yet. But..."

"boom."

Before he could finish speaking, the scroll containing Jiraiya's information fell to the ground from Shikaku's hand.

Five pairs... of Rinnegan? How is that possible?

Composing himself, Shikaku picked up the scroll from the ground: "I'm so sorry... because we were just discussing the power of the Sage of Six Paths, so..."

"call……"

Minato exhaled and nodded in understanding, then looked at everyone: "Before the storm, there is always a period of calm."

"Kaguya Otsutsuki's will incarnation, the Akatsuki organization, Sora Uzumaki, the five pairs of Rinnegan from the Land of Rain... If we add the Cloud, there are more and more beings whose power exceeds the limit of a ninja."

Shikaku picked up another scroll: "So... what should we do about the Rain Country's letter of inquiry?"

Minato hesitated for a moment: "The Land of Rain makes me feel very uneasy."

These words made Shikaku frown: "But given the current situation and the known intelligence, Konoha cannot gain the upper hand. All sides possess power beyond the limits of ninjas, and whoever steps forward first will inevitably become the target of everyone's attacks."

After a long pause, Minato looked at Yun and asked, "Yun, what do you think?"

???

Yun was stunned. She knew everything perfectly well, so how could she possibly understand?

Is it okay to watch sitting down or standing up?

It's a pity I can't tell you.

Seeing that Yun was somewhat confused, Minato smiled and said, "You'll have to consider these issues soon. The Hokage is far different from ordinary ninjas. You must be able to analyze the situation from all sides."

This statement clearly addresses the issue of the fifth generation's succession.

Neither Itachi nor Shikaku, who were present, felt anything was amiss.

Over the years, the question of who will succeed the Fifth Hokage as a genin of Konoha seems to have been settled.

Yun thought for a moment and said, "I think Shikaku is right. At this time, the first to step forward will inevitably be targeted by all sides. Not only those just now, but also the other four great ninja villages."

"The Akatsuki have been lying low for over a year, and the four major ninja villages haven't found anything. Under these circumstances, their fear of Konoha will inevitably rise again."

Nodding, Minato then said to Shikaku, "Have the Ninja Hawk send a message to the Land of Rain that one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha is just passing through on a mission and will return to Konoha soon."

Lu Jiu nodded and pushed open the door to leave.

Minato sighed and sat down as well.

Too much information and pressure came pouring in that day, and the pressure alone was enough to make him feel exhausted.

"Hehe...that's why I feel like I'm already old!"

Suddenly, Minato chuckled softly and looked at Yun, saying, "They always use characters from mythology. I was called the Yellow Flash back then, but that was never this outrageous."

"Yun... I think I'm really getting old. I need to grow up quickly, until I can protect this village, then I can retire in peace."

Yun scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "No way, I'm only fourteen years old. How could someone so young become Hokage? You should continue doing this job, so I can have a few more years of peace and quiet."

This answer made Minato sigh.

Since the Nine-Tails was extracted, heaven knows that his daily work is not just that of the Hokage.

I just don't know when it will bloom and bear fruit, then I can finally take a break.

Hey……

Chapter 239: Black Zetsu is Preparing

"Shit Nara!"

"Damn it, Shikaku!"

"Go to hell!"

"He even fooled a fox? Can't he be a human being?"

The Nine-Tails cursed and swore without taking a breath, and even turned around and made a gesture with its middle claw towards the Hokage Building.

This time it was really angry.

The penalty is 1.5 million taels of silver, the S-level mission is 1 million taels of silver, and the A-level mission is 500,000 taels of silver, which just cancel each other out.

In particular, there was a mission reward chart in the Hokage's office, but it just didn't see it.

As a result, the Nine-Tails has been cursing all the way from the Hokage's office to now.

Although Shikaku won, he was still embarrassed and couldn't very well retort like Kurama did.

After all, he was the head of the Nara clan and the Hokage's assistant; he still had to save face.

The little nine-tailed fox rummaged under its rear end with one paw, took out a wad of coins Itachi had given it, counted them twice, and only put them back after confirming that everything was correct.

This action made Yun say helplessly, "Your money has a strange smell no matter how you look at it."

The Nine-Tails turned to look at the clouds: "What are you trying to say? I don't need to be like you humans. I'm a tailed beast, what kind of smell do I have?"

Yun thought about it and realized that it did make sense.

At that moment, the little nine-tailed fox darted onto Itachi's shoulder.

Although Itachi didn't say anything, his obviously very bad mood made him frown.

"Itachi, you're the best!"

The little nine-tailed fox patted Itachi's back with its paw: "If you need anything in the future, just say the word. As long as the money is right, anything is negotiable!"

Itachi nodded expressionlessly, then looked at the little Nine-Tails and replied, "Please take good care of me, Lord Nine-Tails."

Yun sighed, then said, "Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan has extraordinary ocular power, allowing him to use space-time ocular techniques continuously. You should understand that. Moreover..."

Yun glanced at the little Nine-Tails: "He seems to have a special ability to control the Nine-Tails, and can control it very easily. So if you want the Nine-Tails to help you, you have to be prepared."

Itachi nodded without replying and continued walking towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

Yun, standing beside him, sighed again.

Although this guy put me under life-or-death pressure before I was five years old, if I had the chance back then, I would have loved to chop him into eight pieces.

But the night of annihilation never happened.

He managed to correct his intermittent mental illness to some extent, but in retrospect, he also played a role in Fugaku Uchiha's death.

However... even if Fugaku doesn't die, according to his own plan, he will eventually force him to step down as clan leader.

In that case, there would be no need for saving face.

Thinking of this, Yun looked at Itachi, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "You must have your own reasons for promising the Hokage not to tell Kakashi, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi stopped in his tracks.

A moment later, Itachi turned around and said, "Obito Uchiha, he knows perfectly well whether Black Zetsu is the monster you've seen."
