Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Yun nodded: "Whether it's the complete Susanoo plus the Nine-Tails, or the opponent's Wood Release: ...

"Especially since both I and Uzumaki Sora possess enormous chakra reserves and have methods of regeneration. Furthermore, we can move freely using the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"In this situation, ordinary ninjas cannot be used as expendable resources; it can only be a battle between kings."

After he finished speaking, Quan fell silent.

From a very young age, in her memory, her brother was the pillar of the whole family.

Later, my graduation, and now the awakening of the three-tomoe Sharingan, were all thanks to my brother's ideas.

war.

She hadn't experienced what this word represented, but based on hearsay, it only brought her worry.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"If possible, I hope that long, long from now, even after I'm married, I can still have my brother's care..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun frowned and asked, "You're in a relationship? Which one? Didn't that bastard Itachi get together with Kokoro? Does he think I can't wield a sword anymore?"

-_-||

In an instant, the atmosphere of family affection was completely destroyed.

Quan sighed and looked at Yun: "With you like this, how long will it take me to have a brother and sister-in-law..."

As she spoke, Quan got up and started walking upstairs, but at the last moment she hesitated and turned back, saying, "Brother, you must..."

Before she could finish speaking, the little nine-tailed fox on the table jumped up and pushed her: "Don't make assumptions at a time like this. Boss Yun isn't stupid."

Shukaku, standing to the side, nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, as far as I know, there are several young girls who like Boss Yun right now. There's no need to worry about having offspring; it's not a big problem."

"boom!"

A punch landed on Shukaku's head, causing the little Shukaku to wince in pain.

"If you can't speak properly, then speak less. What humans call love isn't for procreation."

This scene made Quan laugh.

This feeling, this feeling of home, is wonderful.

……

the other side.

After a small gathering at the barbecue restaurant, Shisui and Itachi still had some distance to travel after Yun left, since it was on their way.

Under the cover of night, just like years ago, Itachi still wore a sorrowful expression.

"Has it been a long time since the three of us got together like that?"

The sound of still water arose, seemingly tinged with nostalgia.

But Itachi, standing behind him, said in a deep voice, "You are very weak. And you have already lost sight in one eye."

Shisui nodded: "Didn't I just say that because of the use over the past few years, my left eye is now blind?"

Itachi shook his head slightly and said, "Frequent use of the Mangekyou Sharingan ability leads to a decrease in vision, affecting both eyes simultaneously."

As he spoke, Itachi looked at the shop sign not far away and said, "That's how it is for me, and it's getting worse and worse."

After pondering for a moment, Zhi Shui replied, "Don't push yourself too hard. Yun once said about your personality: too much rigidity leads to breakage."

Seeing that Itachi remained unmoved, Shisui sighed: "No matter what, the power of the Eternal Eye is not something Sasuke can withstand right now. Waiting for him to grow up is also a necessary condition."

Itachi nodded, then also fell silent.

The events of today's Five Shadows meeting have made him feel an imminent pressure.

With war imminent, the Eternal Eye is a crucial asset, whether it's to force Obito to reveal information about Black Zetsu or to ensure Sasuke's survival amidst the impending chaos.

If only there were three more years, Sasuke would have graduated a year ago, and maybe then it would be possible.

Fork in the road.

Itachi turned to Shisui and said, "You and Kumo have already brought the Uchiha clan to this state. While you're advising me, you should also relax a bit."

Shisui smiled upon hearing this: "Don't worry, even if you want to use it in the future, there's no way to do so."

After saying that, Shisui left, while Itachi frowned and then headed home as well.

Sasuke should have returned by now, and he probably wasn't even asleep, waiting for me to come back. My mother had told me many times, but it had no effect.

……

"Snapped."

On the other hand, the moment he closed the door after returning home, Shisui lost his previous composure.

Using Kotoamatsukami again not only caused him to lose sight in his left eye, but the depletion of his pupil power and chakra also left him very weak.

Itachi was right before, and so did Yun.

As he leaned back, Shisui slowly closed his eyes, his thoughts once again reviewing the conversation of the day.

He couldn't be sure whether Yun's power came from a bloodline reversion or a transaction. Because speculation is always just speculation, and given Konoha's current situation, it was too risky to draw any conclusions.

This is why he kept the whole story to himself and never told anyone.

On the other hand, he wasn't sure whether the kaleidoscope's power could actually work on the eternal kaleidoscope.

Replanting the seeds of the village and the family, even if it's just strengthening the previous one, is enough for me to risk this eye.

"call……"

Shisui exhaled and looked out the window.

War is about to begin. Where will this world be led afterward?

……

Five days later.

Sunagakure Village.

Under the scorching sun, the hot wind carries sand and gravel, and the vast expanse outside the village is mostly desert.

On the roof of a building, Gaara was looking at the scene in the village. On the sand in the park, four or five children were building something.

"It looks familiar, doesn't it?"

A voice sounded from behind him, and Gaara nodded and replied, "I remember that time... I used the power left by my mother to make takoyaki from the sand, and also made three skewers of takoyaki."

Temari smiled and said, "You can do it now if you want to. After all, you're only eleven years old."

Gaara shook his head: "It's just nostalgia. Back then, Yashamaru was still around, and he would clean me up even when I was all dirty from playing."

Temari sighed, "Your uncle couldn't refuse Father's order. But both your uncle and mother would be very happy to know how much you've changed."

After a moment of silence, Gaara placed one hand on his abdomen, feeling Shukaku within him.

After returning to Sunagakure from Konoha, Shukaku stopped disturbing his rest.

With his mind at ease, the outbursts of temper and irritability never occurred again. If things had remained like that back then, at least Yashamaru wouldn't have died...

"Jie Jie Jie..."

A chorus of laughter rose from the sealed land, and Shukaku spoke up: "With a father as stupid as that, even just to be on the safe side, he would use that Yashamaru's life to test you."

"Holding onto a sliver of hope, lamenting the past. Is it because I've made things too easy for you these past few years? Humans are nothing special! You haven't earned my approval yet, so watch out, I might take control of you at any moment!"

The voice in my heart didn't alarm Gaara; instead, he coldly replied, "Didn't that human named Bunfuku gain your approval back then?"

"I believe... I can do it too."

Shukaku scoffed and replied, "What can you do? All you've changed is yourself. In this village, besides these two idiots, who else would dare trust your changes?"

Gaara shook his head slightly: "Having survived thanks to the love of my mother and uncle, I will surely be able to pass on this love. One year, two years, three years..."

"The villagers will eventually feel the change in me, and eventually I will gain everyone's approval. In that way... that person will feel gratified."

That person.

Shukaku knew very well who that person was.

It was because of that person's existence that I tried to believe in this human being.

The portion of chakra that is cut off can sometimes transmit an experience.

Sometimes it complains and tattles, saying that the Nine-Tailed Fox bullies it. But most of the time, it's showing off its freedom and life.

Envy?

Although I don't want to admit it, I am indeed a little envious.

But this kid in front of me isn't enough...

Shukaku's voice fell silent.

In reality, Temari, standing behind him, said, "You probably really want to go, don't you? To see that person again."

Gaara nodded slightly: "As a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, I am not suitable to appear in Konoha. Although it may be a bit presumptuous of me to have him around, it is still not good."

"And since Lord Kazekage has left the village, I must stay and protect it. This is my mother's village, and also my uncle's village."

Temari looked at Gaara with a pang of heartache. This was a change in recent years, from fear to heartache for her younger brother.

He reached out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then extended it.

After placing her hand on Gaara's shoulder, Temari said, "Don't worry, Kankuro and I will help you. You were never alone from the beginning."

Gaara did not flinch at the touch on his shoulder.

The feeling of family love is wonderful.

……

Meanwhile, a group of people were approaching from outside Sunagakure.

"So what kind of awful place is this? It's windy and sandy, and a giant scorpion keeps jumping out! Lord Evil God... this is definitely not a good place to proselytize."

Hidan touched the wound on his stomach and could only shamelessly ask Kakuzu to stitch it up for him again.

After all, with its intestines spilling out, it would be too unsightly to leave it hanging there.
