Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

In the conference hall, the overhead lights suddenly shifted, and the shadow cast by Sora Uzumaki stretched directly towards the direction of Minato.

Shadow connection.

Shadow Binding Technique, successful!

At this moment, the eternal kaleidoscope had already appeared in the eye sockets of Yun, who was working with Shikaku.

Amaterasu! !

Black flames erupted instantly, engulfing Vortex Sora's entire figure.

Following closely behind...

A white light appeared between his hands, and Onoki aimed at Uzumaki Sora: Dust Release: Particle Style!

The cube instantly enlarged, completely containing the black flames.

"Om!!"

With a buzzing sound, everything inside the cube vanished into nothingness.

With a series of coordinated attacks, the entire strike was completed in just over a second.

This swift reaction and surprise attack left Mei Terumi and Darui speechless, still not understanding why they had suddenly attacked.

As for Rasa, who had also experienced the darkness of war, he still did not make any move at this moment, but instead used gold dust to protect himself.

He had seen Minato's little trick just now, and having experienced war, he understood what it meant, but he still didn't make a move.

Because of his cautious nature, Luo Sha dared not be the first to act, and while he was still wondering whether the others would make a move, the surprise attack was already over.

"Did it...did it succeed?"

A questioning voice arose.

Minato glanced at Konan, who remained expressionless: "Judging from her expression, I know she must have returned empty-handed."

Onoki said in a deep voice, "The Flying Thunder God Technique. First, the black flames are isolated by the skeleton of Susanoo, and then the Nara clan's secret technique is broken free with brute force."

"Finally... the Flying Thunder God Technique instantly vanished, dodging my Dust Release. Hokage, it seems the war is truly about to begin."

At this moment, Shikaku, whose secret technique had been broken, groaned and slowly stood up, saying, "In just one exchange, the opponent used three S-rank techniques or bloodline powers."

"Just how much power did this guy acquire through the trade?"

This was the question that everyone else present wanted to ask, but clearly, Uzumaki Sora wouldn't tell them.

Ōnoki hovered in the air, his gaze fixed on Konan, who showed no sign of worry.

"Perhaps... we can take care of this woman first."

Konan said expressionlessly, "Third Tsuchikage, perhaps you can give it a try."

Before he could finish speaking, Uzumaki Sora appeared beside him instantly, his gaze fixed on Onoki, clearly having heard what he had just said.

"Onoki, when did... you lose your former dream...? Was it when you faced Madara Uchiha? Or when your teacher, the Second Tsuchikage Mu, perished together with the Second Mizukage?"

Onoki frowned deeply: "Dreams? I've never lost any dreams!"

Sora shook his head slightly: "No. You once naively thought about forming an alliance with Konoha. You had your own dreams, dreams about peace. But those dreams were shattered later, weren't they?"

As she spoke, the three-scythe kaleidoscope in Sora's eyes slowly spun: "Having lost this dream, you, as a high-ranking member of Iwagakure, no longer deserve to live."

Before he could finish speaking, Onoki, caught off guard by the conversation, was instantly pulled into the Tsukuyomi space.

……

Within the Tsukuyomi space.

Bound to the cross, Onoki looked around. The blood-red, dim space was filled with dark chakra, but it did not frighten him.

"Is this the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

In mid-air, Uzumaki Sora's body emerged: "Why don't you try using illusion magic to break it? Perhaps you can break this illusion?"

Onoki shook his head slightly: "It's impossible. The basis of genjutsu release is the instantaneous burst of massive chakra, which can indeed have an effect on ordinary genjutsu."

"But I knew it was useless the moment I got stuck here. The shape of your eyes must have come from Itachi Uchiha, right?"

"Ever since Uchiha Yun appeared, intelligence gathering has become a top priority for the Uchiha clan, who possess the Mangekyou Sharingan. Do you think I wouldn't know about Uchiha Itachi's genjutsu?"

Uzumaki Sora emerged from the space, smiled, and nodded, replying, "That's right. The ability of these eyes comes from Uchiha Itachi of Konoha; Tsukuyomi is the name of this genjutsu ability."

"Everything in this Tsukuyomi space is under my control, including time. For the next seventy-two hours, you will endure excruciating pain every single second."

As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword appeared directly in Kong's hand.

Raise your hand and thrust straight in.

"puff!"

The long sword plunged directly into Onoki's heart. The pain made him wince, but he didn't utter a sound.

Then, three more long swords appeared and pierced straight into Onoki's chest.

"The pain here is exactly the same as outside. If you can't stand it, don't force yourself to endure it. Shouting out might make you feel better."

"Humph!"

Feeling the pain of his heart being pierced once again, Onoki looked up slightly at Uzumaki Sora and said, "Only my screams can make you happy, right? Although the pain is exactly the same, my body outside has not had its heart pierced by you."

"As long as you can hold out for seventy-two hours, your illusion will be useless."

Uzumaki Sora smiled: "Old but still strong. As the oldest Kage, I'm very curious to see just how strong your spirit is."

"Humph!"

The moment the words left his mouth, five more long swords pierced through.

Then, Uzumaki Sora slowly spoke: "Now, there are 71 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds remaining. Onoki, do you still have this perseverance?"

Only a second had passed?

How can it be!

In an instant, Onoki remembered what Uzumaki Sora had said earlier. Could time here be manipulated?

If that's the case, then in one's perception, the time spent will be far more than seventy-two hours.

……

In reality.

Upon discovering that Onoki was under a genjutsu, Minato instantly appeared beside him. Just as he was about to use his chakra to wake Onoki, Onoki slowly woke up.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"

Panting heavily, Onoki could no longer even levitate and could only slump onto the Tsuchikage's chair, his eyes vacant and lifeless.

"Tsuchikage! Lord Tsuchikage!"

After calling out twice, Minato had already guessed the specific situation.

Obtained from Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan: Tsukuyomi.

"drink……"

After a violent gasp, Onoki finally roused his almost numb mind.

Then he struggled to sit up, looked at Uzumaki Sora's lower body, and said, "It seems you can't take my life. Do you know that over the decades, many of my generation have died or retired, but I am still alive!"

"You...can't kill me!"

Uzumaki Sora smiled but said nothing. Seeing that Onoki was on guard, he looked at Uchiha Un.

Everyone else present knew very well that the only person Uzumaki Sora cared about was Uchiha Kumo.

"I look forward to our battle again. If you don't improve, you might be killed by me!"

Uchiha Yun replied in a deep voice, "Don't talk big. In my opinion, you don't have the ability to kill me yet."

At this moment, the meeting room door was pushed open again.

Jiraiya, who had originally refused to attend the meeting, rushed in and headed straight for Konan.

The black uniform with red clouds—just that one detail was enough for Jiraiya, who had been searching for information about Akatsuki, to know that his previous guesses were true.

Behind Akatsuki really are Nagato and Konan!

Jiraiya, who was heading straight for Konan, stopped in the end, scratched his head of white hair, and said, "Konan... that's not what you said back then."

Konan replied in a deep voice, "But it doesn't mean we have nothing to do with the Akatsuki, does it?"

“Jiraiya-sensei, ever since Yahiko died, this world has been filled with pain for Nagato.”

"And war will fill everyone with hatred again, and under the weight of blood feuds, revenge will only be endless."

"A world filled only with pain and sorrow has no reason to exist. Whether it's the Infinite Tsukuyomi or our plan, it will lead to the dawn of peace!"

Having said that, Jiraiya understood the insistence of his two disciples.

It has to be said that Jiraiya at this moment also wanted to drag Danzo out and beat him up again, even though he had already been reduced to ashes.

"Actually... in my memory, among you, only Xiao Nan is the gentlest."

……

Chapter 272: Tsunade's Necklace

"Teacher, this is for you."

In my memory, Xiao Nan held a bouquet of origami flowers high in the air, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

"I think it's cute!"

Konan, dressed in her Frog Squad uniform, was smiling at Yahiko, who was looking at her with disdain.

Jiraiya remembered his three disciples' past very clearly.

Despite his own precarious situation, he still took in Nagato, who was nearly starving. At that age, he still maintained his greatest kindness.

Now that the root mission report has been deciphered, Jiraiya has a clearer understanding of many things, connecting the dots.

Initially, guided by the dream that Yahiko had once boasted about, the three formed the first Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain.

At that time, Akatsuki's goal was to stop the war through dialogue and prevent the Rain Country, which was caught between the three great powers, from falling into the quagmire of war again.
