Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Jiraiya remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.

But in fact, at this moment he was determined to obtain information about Nagato's Rinnegan even if he couldn't succeed.

This is the consequence of the choices I made. Although I have no regrets, I will do my best to steer the future in a positive direction, even at the cost of my life.

"Keep my spell."

Yun's voice drew everyone's attention.

Then Yun smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. This is indeed dangerous for you, but it doesn't mean anything to me."

"Just like that guy could leave at any time, so can I, even if I'm with someone else."

"And if Uzumaki Sora and Nagato were together, perhaps I could try to take them down in one go. After all, that was part of our initial plan, wasn't it?"

Minato thought for a moment and nodded.

Meanwhile, Tsunade had just stabilized Onoki's mind and stood up after lowering her hands from the spell.

He glanced at Jiraiya, then at Yun, and after a moment's thought, walked over.

When it came to Yun, it placed its hands behind its neck.

Suddenly, an unusual curve came into view.

Tsunade removed the necklace from her neck and handed it to Yun: "This is my grandfather's thing, it contains a huge amount of energy. I think it should be of some use to you, and only you can use it."

Seeing this, Jiraiya scratched his head and, true to his nature, remarked, "This is not a good sign, Tsunade. If I die, I'll come looking for you in the middle of the night."

Tsunade turned to Jiraiya and said disdainfully, "If you don't want to die again, you can try."

Seemingly recalling a certain experience, Jiraiya unconsciously swallowed.

At that moment, Yun accepted the necklace; the green ore contained a tremendous power.

In my memory, this power once even resealed the rampaging Naruto, and its color seems similar to the Grell Stone.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

"And at this time, it's not even certain whether Nagato is still in Amegakure."

……

Chapter 273: The Final Farewell to the Gods

The fact that Tsunade gave away the First Hokage's necklace shows how much she valued Jiraiya.

Few of the ninjas of her generation are still alive today, having grown up during a time of war.

Furthermore, giving the necklace to Yun to maximize its power is also a way of doing one's best in response to the current situation.

The current Konoha gives Tsunade a very different feeling, different from when the Third Hokage was in power, and also different from when her great-uncle was alive.

She looks very much like her grandfather when he was still alive.

Whether ninjas or ordinary villagers, everyone possessed absolute confidence in the war. This was the source of victory and the prestige of the strong.

Tsunade likes the village in this state and is prepared to do everything in her power for it.

……

The second Five Kage Summit was ultimately declared war on by Akatsuki after the appearance of Uzumaki Sora.

Ultimately, the joint search team of the five major ninja villages was established first, composed of sensory ninjas from each village, and they were initially mixed together.

After the formation of the coalition was postponed, it was indeed as Rasa had said: if Amegakure was deserted, then they would not even know the location of the enemy.

The purpose of establishing a joint search force is precisely this.

As for what Tsuchikage Onoki said before he fell into a coma—that Amegakure must be thoroughly investigated—Minato decided to form a raiding squad and, following Jiraiya, began searching Amegakure.

……

Night falls.

The Uchiha clan's land was brightly lit.

Because of their bloodline limit being their eyes, although they are not as good at reconnaissance as the Hyuga clan, they still have some ninjas who excel in sensory perception.

"Clan Chief, Lord Yun!"

"Lord Yun, I have already activated the double tomoe."

"We will definitely be able to protect them this time!"

"Chief, you really need to get some rest. You don't look well at all."

……

As they emerged from the security forces, thanks to the connection between Kumo and Shisui, the Uchiha clan ninjas greeted them with honorifics along the way.

Shisui simply nodded in response, his usual ease and smile appearing somewhat forced at this moment.

The two walked and stopped frequently along the way.

They traveled from the commercial district of the Uchiha clan's territory all the way to the Naka River before stopping.

Under the cover of night, there was no one else on the cliff face of the Nanhe River except for them.

“You were waiting for me as soon as I got home after the Five Kage Summit. In all the years I’ve been the clan leader, you’ve never been this impatient.”

Yun tossed a pebble into the river below, asking, "Do you think... this pebble will change the course of the Namga River?"

Shisui shook his head slightly: "No. But if a boulder the size of a mountain were thrown in, the Naga River would change its course."

As Shisui spoke, she looked at Yun's profile and asked, "You know?"

Uchiha Yun chuckled and said, "What do you know? Given the changes in your personality over the past few years, the fact that you waited for me at my house after the Five Kage Summit means you must have something very important to ask me."

"And now that we've come all this way, you haven't said a word, so does that mean this matter shouldn't be known to others, right?"

After a moment of silence, Zhishui replied, "Actually, I don't dare to gamble either. If I gamble on some things, I might lose everything."

After saying those inexplicable words, Shisui pointed to the cliff face beside him.

"Do you remember that place? Years ago, when Mitokado suspected you of conducting human experiments, you and I were talking there."

Shisui sighed: "At that time... my answer was to believe you, to believe that you had always done it for the village and for the Uchiha clan."

Yun nodded: "Actually, I'm curious too. When we were in the Ninja Academy, although Itachi and I were both hailed as geniuses, I hadn't awakened my Sharingan yet. How could you trust me so much?"

After he finished speaking, the two people on the cliff fell silent for a moment.

How could someone trust someone so much?

At that time, the Uchiha clan was on the verge of collapse. The Fourth Hokage had never truly taken power, while the Third Hokage held most of the power firmly behind the scenes.

Danzo, the Root organization known as the "Dark Side of Konoha," has always harbored the desire to eliminate the Uchiha clan.

Amidst the turmoil, the scene of Yun's first sarcastic remark to Itachi made him remember Yun forever.

It was after that incident that Shisui, as a Jonin, began to trust Kumo.

But this trust is insignificant; it is merely a trust in the future of the next generation.

Later, Yun's Mangekyou Sharingan was awakened.

Only at this moment did Zhishui truly place Yun on an equal footing.

Behind every event—from clan reforms and aligning with the Fourth Hokage to rejoining the Konoha clan—Yun's presence is felt.

And none of these are due to superior military strength!

Having strong combat power might strike fear into the hearts of enemies. But if one lacks strategic acumen, one will only suffer losses in internal power struggles.

Shisui was well aware that although he could be called a genius, this was only in terms of combat strength.

The appearance of Uchiha Kumo filled this gap, and for some reason, he had absolute trust in Kumo.

But now it seems that this absolute trust has completely deviated from its predicted trajectory and is heading in another direction.

After a long silence, Zhishui finally spoke: "Yun... what exactly is your purpose?"

purpose?

The long-held doubts resurfaced in Yun's mind. Her expression remained unchanged, but her gaze gradually became serious.

At times like these, ask yourself: What is my purpose?

Such a question would be perfectly appropriate for someone else, such as someone whose clone is here.

From the perspective of Uchiha Un, what purpose could he possibly have?

To try and eliminate Uzumaki Sora and Nagato?

That's not the interpretation, because given Shisui's personality, he would never have wanted to express these things.

So……

A possibility flashed through her mind, and after a long while, Yun slowly spoke: "At first, I just wanted to live. Later... I felt that maybe I should do something to make my life better."

“The village, the clan, the ninja world… Shisui, I want to make the village strong, I want to make the Uchiha clan strong.”

"At the very least... we can't be at the mercy of others."

Family, village?

Zhi Shui listened quietly, each sentence seemingly aligning with the source of his trust.

“Yun…I hope you can understand what you are doing.”

Shisui sighed as she spoke, then looked down at Nanga River and said, "Back then, before you became the clan leader, you once said that after a while you would have the power to change everything."

"And after that, you awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Regarding the Mitokado Homura incident, where I was an advisor to the Third Hokage, I believed that your ability came from a bloodline atonement. This explanation is unrepeatable, unverifiable, and irrefutable."

At this moment, Zhi Shui took two steps forward to the cliff face and turned his back to Yun.

He then continued, "Later... the trading times of Uzumaki Sora were discovered one after another. Although it is unknown whether he had traded with others in between, based on his known abilities, they can basically be categorized."

"The Flying Thunder God Technique comes from the Fourth Hokage, the power of Wood Release comes from the First Hokage, and Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu come from Itachi."

At this point, Shisui paused: "The quantity is wrong, isn't it? Counting from the day Naruto was born, and considering the timelines of Itachi, Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, and Kurama, it should be a transaction once a year."

"But at that time, not only was the power of Vortex Sora growing rapidly, but wasn't your power, Cloud, growing just as fast?"
