Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

If Yun hadn't failed to control it with his Sharingan from the beginning, it would probably be no different from the other half now.

In fact, trust was initially formed after the Nine-Tails tricked Naruto into asking Jiraiya for the key.

Unlike Kushina and Minato, Naruto truly considered Kurama (the Nine-Tails) as a friend.

Seeing that things were settled, the Nine-Tailed Fox jumped onto the sofa, looked at the sleeping Shukaku, and said, "Wake up, you silly tanuki, it's time to go home."

"Whoosh...whoosh..."

With very rhythmic breathing, she showed no sign of waking up at all.

Little Nine-Tailed frowned, thought for a moment, and said directly, "Let's go, let's go for a drink."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shukaku, who hadn't woken up from the previous commotion, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Drinking? Let's go!"

"Snapped."

The little nine-tailed fox landed its paw directly on its head: "What are you thinking about? It's time to go home."

Shukaku was taken aback: "Weren't we drinking? You're not drinking anymore?"

Scratching his head and looking around, Shukaku finally realized where he was. He glared at Kurama and said, "Can you stop trying to trick me with drinking? You're going home, but you said you'd drink and then you didn't. I'm so disappointed."

The little nine-tailed fox said unhappily, "If I hadn't said that, would you have woken up so quickly? Hurry up and stop dawdling!"

……

Afterwards, Minato and Kumo left and headed towards the Hokage Building.

As for Kurama and Shukaku, they went straight home.

"Leaving so carelessly? Did they leave something inside Naruto's body?"

Minato paused for a moment, then chuckled, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you. It was just a precaution. Now it seems there's no need for it."

Yun smiled and said, "You should be able to feel this power, right? The power of a perfect Jinchuriki. Taking the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure as a reference, the Nine-Tails will only be more powerful."

"That's why I agreed just now, because I could imagine it..."

Minato looked at the Hokage Building, which was almost in the distance: "Although it's still unclear whether there's a limit to the number of times Uzumaki Sora can make a transaction, the information we have so far suggests that it happens once a year."

"And with each transaction, the other party becomes stronger. There are even some things, such as the reincarnation of chakra within Naruto and Sasuke, whose function we don't know, but it's clear that Uzumaki Sora knows."

"Even Hinata's case, by combining Otsutsuki chakra with the pure Byakugan, was able to obtain the ultimate power of the Byakugan. If Uzumaki Ku hadn't used it as a bargaining chip, we would have had no way of knowing this."

Yun, standing to the side, chuckled: "Lord Hokage... are you saying Hinata is smarter than those two boys?"

Minato paused in his teasing tone, sighed, and said, "It's enviable that you can still be so relaxed. If it weren't for Yun, I don't know how I would have handled all of this under the absolute power."

After he finished speaking, no one said anything for a moment.

Minato, known as the Golden Flash during World War III, can even cause you to abandon a mission if you encounter him.

Despite such an honor, he was now forced by a barrage of intelligence to agree to Naruto releasing the Nine-Tails from its seal.

Perhaps it was because of the battle at the Sea of ​​Ending.

After a while, they had already entered the Hokage Building.

As the captain of the ANBU, Kazumasa bowed slightly and said, "Lord Hokage, Lord Shikaku has been notified and should be here soon."

Minato nodded.

Yun smiled at Jia and said, "How long will it take to be promoted to captain of the Dark Guard? You're about the same as you are now, aren't you?"

The man in the mask paused, then pointed to his face and asked, "Under these circumstances, Lord Yun can still recognize me?"

Yun said speechlessly, "Where does your confidence come from? That square face is too easily recognizable..."

As she spoke, Yun walked into the office and closed the door behind her.

"boom."

Jia, who was left outside, was a little confused and reached out to pinch the face under his mask.

It's not scary...

Hokage Building, Hokage's Office.

After entering, Yun found a place to sit down, then looked at Minato and said, "The Eight Gates Released Formation, the Hokage probably doesn't know much about this taijutsu, does he?"

Minato hesitated for a moment, then replied, "During the Third Shinobi World War, Might Guy's father, Might Dai, as a genin, single-handedly defeated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and left four of them alive."

"Under these circumstances, the Third Hokage... the Third Hokage began to take this forbidden technique seriously. However, due to the difficulty of cultivation and the dangers after opening the gate, this technique is not worth popularizing."

Yun nodded: "From the Hokage's perspective, that's true, but in reality, the power of the Eight Gates varies from person to person."

With a slightly serious expression, Minato replied, "While Might Guy's Eight Gates is powerful, it is still within the realm of humans. The power displayed by Yun's final opening of the Gate of Death is truly worlds apart."

Yun nodded and continued, "Since returning from that mission to Yunyin, I have rarely stopped practicing the Eight Gates. Because I can sense that as long as the phenomenon of bloodline reversion continues, the stronger the basic physique, the greater the power of the Gate of Death."

“Guy’s father could only defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and three of them even escaped. But now Guy…”

"Even he, at the limits of human strength, might be able to overwhelm the Vortex Sky of the Sea of ​​Ending in terms of power."

Kai?

The moisture in his eyes seemed to condense slightly.

In fact, even though they had witnessed the power of the Death Gate during the battle at the End of the Sea, they mostly attributed it to bloodline.

But looking at it now...

"I told the Hokage all this so that he would understand that Konoha's power is not weak. Right now, if I were to open the Gate of Death, I wouldn't even be able to grasp just how strong the power within would be."

Yun's words made Minato understand.

Is it because of the complaint I just made?

It's indeed a bit... that the Hokage lost faith in the future in front of the village's ninjas.

"Yun... I'm sorry."

Yun smiled and replied, "As the village's Kage, if you don't even have confidence in the Hokage, it will have a significant impact on the ninja below."

"I understand."

Minato nodded.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Shikaku, who had just been woken up from his bed, was a little drowsy, but when he saw that Minato and Kumo were both there, he immediately realized that something had happened.

Considering the timing, his mind quickly realized that Vortex Sky had probably succeeded in another deal.

"Shikaku's here. I'm so sorry to bother you so late."

Shikaku bowed slightly: "It's because the Hokage informed me that there was something important. As the Hokage's assistant, this is what I should do."

Yun, who was standing to the side, laughed and said, "If this happens often, Lord Shikaku's wife might have something to say."

Minato laughed at this, while Shikaku looked embarrassed.

After the atmosphere eased somewhat, Minato repeated what Kurama had said.

Shikaku pondered for a moment: "Yun is right. Compared to the first point, Naruto's problem can be considered later."

"Then, Hokage, we'll probably have to share this information with the other four great ninja villages. And we need to be quick about it!"

Minato nodded slightly: "In the years following the Joint Chunin Exams, the other four major ninja villages have gradually shifted their focus from actively searching for Konoha to..."

"These changes were precisely the Akatsuki's purpose in lying low. By refocusing the ninja world's attention on Konoha, they were able to seize an opportunity."

Shikaku replied, "That's precisely why. In the past year or so, the four great ninja villages have been subtly showing signs of reuniting to target Konoha."

"After all, the plan for Infinite Tsukuyomi was only based on the account of Onoki, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure. Under these circumstances, they have begun to doubt its authenticity."

At this point, Shikaku looked at Yun beside him: "The transaction has just ended. If the northern part of the Land of Iron is indeed Akatsuki's stronghold, then Uzumaki Sora will definitely make Akatsuki relocate next."

"Therefore, speed is the key. And in the village, only the Hokage and Lord Kumo are proficient in the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Yun smiled and looked at Shikaku: "So what the little nine-tailed fox said does have some truth to it. The Nara family are all ruthless. I just teased you a little, did you have to send me so far away?"

Shikaku replied helplessly, "Lord Yun, we can't expect the Hokage to go in person, can we?"

Minato sighed, "Actually, I could go too. I haven't left the village for many years. As the village's leader, there's nothing I can do."

However, Shikaku directly rejected Minato's teasing remarks.

"Under normal circumstances, the Hokage cannot leave the village, and the Hokage does have missions that require him to leave the village as well."

???

Minato was taken aback. He had just been joking. As the Hokage, appearing in other villages involved a great deal of complex matters.

At this moment, Shikaku checked the time: "Half an hour has passed since the Uzumaki Sky Trade ended. Before dawn, the representatives or Kage of the five great ninja villages must appear in the northern part of the Land of Iron."

"Only Yun and the Hokage together can achieve this."

As he spoke, Shikaku looked at Yun and said, "I remember in a mission three years ago, Lord Yun buried the Flying Thunder God technique in the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, right?"

Yun nodded: "It's just to deal with possible emergencies. In fact, it's not just the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind. The Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water have all asked someone to leave behind a technique."

Shikaku paused for a moment, then nodded: "That would be more convenient. We can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to reunite the five great ninja villages, and then head to the Mountain Graveyard from the location closest to the Land of Iron."

These words annoyed Yun, who looked at Lu Jiu and asked, "Does this mean I have to travel all over the five great nations by myself, and before dawn?"

At this moment, Minato raised his hand and said, "It's not just Yun alone. Although the Nine-Tails asked about the person who revived Uchiha Madara, according to the known information, it is very likely that it is the Akatsuki's headquarters."

"So... we still need to bring Kakashi along."

Yun looked at Minato: "If that intangibility ability is countered, he'll most likely be captured by me. Hokage... have you thought it through?"

Have you thought it through?

I closed my eyes slightly, and scenes of Obito flashed through my mind.

In contrast, Minato was more worried that Kakashi would fall into the darkness of revenge because of Sakumo's death.

Unexpectedly, it was Obito who truly fell into darkness because of Rin's death.

Beneath the memorial stone, perhaps lies the very same Obito from back then...

Reopening his eyes, Minato said in a deep voice, "If possible, bring him back alive and hand him over to Inoichi!"

These words caused Yun and Lu Jiu to exchange a glance.
