Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

……

One hour later, in the northern part of the Land of Iron.

"Since there's no mission here, my Flying Thunder God Kunai wasn't assigned to the exact location. We'll have to walk the rest of the way ourselves."

As Yun spoke, he took out the hidden Flying Thunder God Kunai, saying that it was useless now that it had been discovered.

Onoki, standing to the side, looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "This kind of place is sparsely populated and has good concealment, but there is no sustainable soil."

Beneath the enormous skeleton, Kakashi remarked, "Such a massive skeleton, this place truly lives up to its name, an ancient burial ground."

Yun nodded and looked at Maki beside him: "As the weakest one here, remember to protect yourself in a moment. After all, Sunagakure needs you to bring the information back."

These words made Maki a little embarrassed, but after looking around at the other people, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Although he wasn't killed during the Chunin Exams, he clearly felt himself being gradually ostracized.

This joint reconnaissance operation by the five major ninja villages was clearly an extremely dangerous mission for me.

What the Kazekage might need is not for me to bring back the information, but rather to be allowed to stay here and not have to go back.

"Alright. It will be dawn in two hours. Next, we need to split into groups and begin reconnaissance."

Yun looked at the group and said, "There are seven people in total, and two pairs of eyes that roll their eyes. Let's judge by the number of eyes they roll. I think you don't trust me now that you're here, do you?"

Floating in mid-air, Onoki shook his head slightly: "There is no such thing as trust among the five great ninja villages. Grouping them according to the Byakugan is just for better reconnaissance."

With a smile, Yun said directly, "Then let's do this. One direction on each side. If you find anything, remember to call me and retreat. If this really is Akatsuki's stronghold, you have no chance of winning."

Immediately, the cloud pointed from the direction of the search by the four major ninja villages to the location where White Zetsu was.

On their side, they chose a different direction.

Sometimes, what you discover and see for yourself is more likely to convince you.

When intelligence is discovered by an adversary, their first thought is to verify its authenticity.

After the team was divided, Tokuma used his Byakugan to observe the surroundings along the way, but he didn't find anything despite his ability to see through things.

In this situation, Tokuma also began to get a little anxious, and the range of his Byakugan was maximized, which made the burden quite heavy for a while.

"If you can't take it, then rest for a while. With your chakra, I'm afraid you can't hold on for long."

Hearing Yun's words, Tokuma shook his head slightly: "This information was originally provided by the other party. Although the teacher's speed is already the fastest way, if the other party starts to withdraw after the transaction is over, we will need to find the remaining settlement of the other party."

"Because I know very well that if even the remaining suspicious points cannot be found, then the other four villages will inevitably become even more suspicious of Konoha."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi behind him sighed.

He then raised his headband, and his three-tomoe Sharingan began to survey his surroundings.

Although I feel like I'm being targeted, if it were him, he would definitely do his best to investigate with that eye left behind by Obito...

Am I right, Obito?

A figure flashed through my mind, seemingly giving me a thumbs up.

Kakashi smiled from behind his mask.

Yun, standing behind the two, nodded helplessly. His team was certain they wouldn't find any clues.

……

the other side.

Floating in mid-air, Onoki looked around and, seeing that a while had passed since they split up, he landed.

"You're Ao from Kirigakure, right? I saw him once during the last Chunin Exams."

Ao, who was surveying his surroundings with his Byakugan, looked at Ōnoki: "What are your orders, Tsuchikage-sama?"

Onoki glanced at the eyepatch on the right blue eye: "In the past few decades, only Kirigakure has ever obtained a Byakugan from Konoha. The main family's eye is not bound by the cursed seal."

"That Hyuga clan member who was following Yun earlier must have been his student during the Chunin Exams, right? In that case, Kirigakure should have been asked to use Byakugan, right?"

Ao clenched his fists: "Lord Tsuchikage, are you also trying to humiliate me?"

Onoki shook his head slightly: "Don't misunderstand. In fact, appearing in Iwagakure with a complete Susanoo is also a humiliation for Iwagakure."

"Since the joint Chunin Exams, the already delicate relationship between the five great ninja villages has become even more delicate over the past two years."

"Leaving aside whether this is Akatsuki's stronghold, the fact that Konoha allowed Uchiha Kumo to launch a surprise attack on four villages in just one night is a deterrent to us..."

Yugito, who was standing nearby, said, "The first one started from Kumogakure. In less than half an hour, they had already arrived at the Raikage Building."

As she spoke, she looked at Kirigakure: "The second one, I went to Kirigakure with him, and again, in less than half an hour, Kirigakure was unable to stop him."

"What's most terrifying is that... because the opponent didn't really want to fight, they basically used Sharingan genjutsu to take down any ninja they encountered. Although this situation can be broken later with different chakra, it's clear that ordinary ninjas wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow."

Onoki's face was somewhat gloomy.

Is this a warning?

When did Konoha begin to possess the power to warn the other four great ninja villages?

Uchiha Yun...

The feeling of waking up with a start. The complete Susanoo.

For oneself, isn't it also a kind of humiliation?

"After this, I will send Huang Tu to each of your ninja villages. Regardless of whether Akatsuki is a threat to us, we all need to know that the threat to Konoha is imminent."

No one responded after Onoki finished speaking.

This awkward situation made Onoki sigh. "So it really has come to this?"

Faced with pressure from Uchiha Kumo, he began to choose to protect himself, aside from others.

The turmoil at the top of the Cloud Village seems to have only recently ended; the Fourth Raikage was killed, and the body of the Third Raikage was killed again.

The Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure has been under control for a long time; this information was revealed by Kirigakure themselves during the last joint Chunin Exams.

Beneath the Blood Mist Village, even the Hidden Mist Sect had little power left.

Finally, Onoki's gaze fell on Maki, who was standing to the side.

Sunagakure... let's not even mention it.

Even at a point like this, they're still thinking about using someone else to do their dirty work. How did a fool like Rasa even become the Kazekage?

"call……"

After sighing, Onoki said, "If Akatsuki exists, the entire ninja world will unite against Akatsuki. But if they remain dormant, I hope the four great ninja villages can unite to form another force that can counter them."

No one spoke up yet, but it's likely they would relay their proposal to higher-ups after they returned.

……

Three hours later, the sky had already brightened.

However, Onoki's team still found nothing. They didn't even see any trace of humans, let alone Akatsuki's lair.

With his chakra being consumed so much, Ao was already struggling to keep up.

He had already shut down the white of his right eye; he simply couldn't take it anymore.

In the forest they walked through, a white figure slowly rose from the ground.

"These guys actually managed to find their way here, and they even have White Eyes as a scout."

"We need to notify the main body and Black Zetsu quickly before they notice the underground area."

White Zetsu's body was about to sink into the ground.

However, the next moment, several pairs of eyes locked onto him.

"Oh dear... have we been found out?"

……

Chapter 260: The Power of Black Zetsu

Earth-遁 (earth-遁 means to dig or excavate).

In an instant, the ground was bulged up by Onoki's ninjutsu, and the burst of air threw the White Zetsu directly out.

The next moment, the floating Onoki appeared behind White Zetsu.

Earth Release: Heavy Rock Technique.

"Snapped."

Like a lump of mud, White Zetsu was pressed to the ground.

Just as he was about to use Earth Release to leave, Qing had already completed the hand seals: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet.

Compared to Mei Terumi's Water Dragon Bullet, it was clearly less powerful, but it was enough to wrap up and trap the White Zetsu after it landed.

"boom."

The water flowed and scattered upon landing, and the wooden figure grabbed White Zetsu's neck and twisted it.

"A member of the Akatsuki?"

Bai Jue grinned without any fear: "Hey beautiful lady, can you tell me if you can poop?"

Yugito's face darkened, but he didn't kill it directly. Instead, he asked, "Lord Tsuchikage, I'm not good at interrogation."

Onoki looked at White Zetsu and said, "He looks a lot like that guy from last time, but he's all white. It seems Konoha didn't lie to us."

As soon as they finished speaking, both of them looked at Qing standing to the side.

Maki, who had been just observing, also noticed that something was wrong with Qing.

He was trembling all over, his single eye filled with terror.

“I think… we no longer… need to torture… this guy.”

White Zetsu, whose neck was being gripped by Yugito, looked at the four of them: "Have we been discovered? If you guys find out at a time like this, I'm afraid I'll get beaten to a pulp, right? But I don't think I have. This is really frustrating..."

"Click".

With a snap, he broke White Zetsu's neck, and after the wooden figure was casually thrown down, a burst of blue flame burned it to ashes.

Then, Mudo looked at Ao and asked, "What did you notice with your white eye?"
