Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"What do you think?"

Qing trembled all over, and under the immense pressure, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

At that moment, Mei Terumi, whose water dragon bullet had been blocked, landed and stood on the opposite side of the cloud.

Not far away, an old man with white hair, accompanied by two guards, walked slowly towards them, his body hunched over as if he might break and die at any moment.

Hyuga Tokuma, as a disciple, stood silently behind Kuma.

"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure?"

Mei Terumi glanced at Yugito and then said, "Has Darui, who succeeded the Fifth Raikage, lost the fighting spirit of all the previous Raikages? Submitting to Konoha... is merely slowing down the pace of the village's annihilation!"

When he was mentioned, Yukito, who had originally wanted to continue watching to extract information, had no choice but to step forward.

"What we are seeing now has just happened in Kumogakure as well. The situation is urgent. Konoha has information about the Akatsuki's headquarters."

Having severed ties, Yukito stopped.

Just as Terumi Mei was about to question him, she was stopped by Genji, who had just approached, raising his cane.

"Master Yuan?"

Shaking his head slightly, Master Yuan looked at Uchiha Yun and said, "You must be Uchiha Yun, right? I have had the privilege of witnessing the power of the two heroes of the ninja world. Compared to Uchiha Madara, your eye power is no weaker than his..."

Yun smiled, and Qing, who was standing in front of her, was about to get up when Yun pressed her down with one hand.

This action made Mei Terumi frown.

Seeing this, Master Yuan sighed: "Lost and found, gained and lost again. This Byakugan originally came from Konoha. After this, Kirigakure will return it to us with both hands."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun withdrew her hand from Qing's shoulder: "That's why only those with enough experience can understand when to do what. The last reminder was not as effective as this personal visit."

Master Yuan sighed: "People always have a bit of wishful thinking, don't they? I know very well who is stronger and who is weaker."

"Then... surely you still have matters to discuss with Kirigakure?"

"please."

Turning to the side, the door to Shuiying's office opened wide to Yun.

For a time, Master Yuan's actions were so effective that no one could find fault with them.

Faced with an intruder who barged into the Hidden Mist without prior notice, this stance was already even more submissive than that of the Hidden Clouds.

After taking their seats, Yun looked at Yugito and said, "Explaining over and over again is tiring. You can do it this time. Be quick. We still have two ninja villages to visit."

Yugito paused for a moment, but then began to recount the information he had learned earlier.

For a moment, the weariness emanating from Master Yuan seemed to grow even heavier.

"Let Ao go with you. The power of the Byakugan can also help Konoha verify this information this time."

"After this, Kirigakure will no longer have the power of the Byakugan."

Then, Yuan Shi looked at Hyuga Tokuma and said, "This young man is also from the Hyuga main family, right? I didn't expect that even members of the main family would need to carry out missions now."

"The world changes... After this, I will personally write a letter to the head of the Hyuga clan in Konoha to express my apologies."

As soon as he finished speaking, the already frail and elderly Master Yuan actually stood up shakily and bowed slightly to Tokuma.

This scene stunned everyone present.

Except for Yun, who frowned for a moment but quickly relaxed.

……

Chapter 259: Exposure

Now 83 years old, Master Yuan is considered very old in the world of ninjas.

Having survived from the Warring States period to the present day, even a pig would have become a spirit by now, given its long history.

The saying goes, "An old man who doesn't die is a thief." When Yun noticed that Yun's attitude was repeatedly humble, he realized something was wrong.

The purpose of Shikaku's decision to have himself visit all four major ninja villages within a few hours under the pretext of an emergency is quite clear.

Demonstrating strength, showcasing speed, and reminding all parties, it reignites the fear that had almost been forgotten.

And Yun clearly did the same.

Using the urgency of the situation as an excuse, Kirigakure added the Hyuga clan's Byakugan to the mix...

But now... the old man's submissive demeanor made Yun frown slightly.

Does this highlight Konoha's strength and show weakness to the enemy?

Given the current situation, the four major ninja villages, excluding Konoha, have no choice but to unite, whether against Akatsuki or Konoha.

Showing weakness to the enemy will not attract targeting in the short term, but showing strength to the enemy will arouse the fear and targeting of all parties.

Therefore... the fact that he is still performing the duties of the Mizukage at such an old age must be due to his wisdom.

"Let's go, we're in a hurry."

As Yun spoke, he stood up and smiled at the old man in front of him: "You are a man of great wisdom and righteousness. It is a blessing for Wuyin Village to have you."

As soon as they finished speaking, the group vanished from their spot in an instant using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Throughout the entire process, Qing didn't say a single word.

Because he understood very well that Master Yuan's words were correct.

……

"Do we... really have to return the Byakugan to Konoha?"

Mei Terumi frowned, then looked at the old man she had previously respected: "After passing through the Village of Blood Mist and losing the Byakugan, the power of Kirigakure has declined again and again."

Standing behind Yuan Shi, Quan Bingwei nodded as well: "The Akatsuki's stronghold has been discovered. Under the pressure of that vortex, even if we don't return, Konoha shouldn't dare to make a move."

"boom."

The cane taps the ground lightly.

Master Yuan slowly raised his head, his hunched figure hunched over: "Not returning it? Are you trying to give Konoha its first excuse to attack Kirigakure?"

Quan Bingwei asked doubtfully, "Uchiha Yun's power is indeed strong, but there are others who can rival him. Uzumaki Sora from the Akatsuki organization is also on the opposite side of Konoha."

At this moment, another guard behind Yuan Shi, Bi, spoke up: "The Akatsuki's objective... if the intelligence from last time was correct, then Akatsuki, which is at odds with the entire ninja world, will surely fail."

Mei Terumi, standing to the side, nodded: "When the Akatsuki is completely defeated, no one in the entire ninja world will be able to stand against Uchiha Kumo..."

As she spoke, Mei Terumi looked at Genji and bowed slightly: "It seems that I was too young and did not think things through. Under these circumstances, Kirigakure should indeed show weakness to the enemy."

Master Yuan did not reply, but stood up and looked around the office of the Water Shadow.

The scene of establishing Kirigakure with the First Mizukage is still vivid in my mind.

But in the blink of an eye, only I am left from that generation...

"From today onwards, you are the Fifth Mizukage."

Terumi Mei was stunned as soon as she finished speaking.

After a long pause, he replied, "Master Yuan, the village still needs you. Like this time..."

Master Yuan shook his head slightly: "Since the founding of Wuyin Village, I have watched this village grow step by step to where it is today."

"From the First Shinobi World War to the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha always fought against multiple opponents and emerged as the ultimate winner each time."

"It was thought that Konoha would be weak for a period of time after the Third Hokage took over. But with geniuses emerging one after another, the Uchiha clan has now been chosen as the next Hokage."

"There's not much more I can do for this village. I've already sold my seniority, and after this, my reputation will be worthless."

As he spoke, he walked, and by the time he finished speaking, the hunched-over Master Yuan had already reached the door.

Under the escort of Bi and Quanbingwei, Yuanshi slowly left.

Mei Terumi sat alone on the sofa where the meeting had taken place.

Is this the headquarters of the Akatsuki?

This guy, Juzo Biwa, hasn't paid attention to our intelligence needs for a long time.

……

The Land of Earth, outside the Hidden Rock Village.

"The same thing again?"

Yugito frowned: "If we still force our way in..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun waved his hand and said, "There's no need. One of the Hidden Mist Villages doesn't even have a Mizukage yet, and the other can't be decided on a whim."

“Iwagakure is different. With Onoki’s status and position, he can decide everything in Iwagakure. And there are some things that he will probably never forget in his entire life.”

"And he can fly, so it won't be long."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun's three-tomoe jade instantly activated the Eternal Kaleidoscope.

The next moment, blue chakra condensed into a giant, and the complete Susanoo appeared directly outside Iwagakure.

……

In the quiet of the night in Iwagakure, the elderly Onoki had already gone to bed early.

However, as one gets older, sleep becomes scarce, and even now, I've only just fallen asleep.

The next moment, a massive and familiar chakra appeared outside the village.

Onoki opened his eyes instantly, his gaze now completely devoid of any sleepiness.

Susanoo!

who is it? !

The fear of being dominated by Madara Uchiha was still vivid in his mind; he would remember that dark chakra for the rest of his life.

The art of light and heavy rocks.

Floating in mid-air, Onoki didn't even have time to close his clothes; he was only wearing pajamas when he rushed out.

Outside Iwagakure, Yun looked at the black dot in the distance and smiled: "You've arrived. I'd like to ask you to explain the situation this time as well."

Yugito sighed and nodded. Circumstances were beyond her control; she had no power to refuse.
