Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"Then let's vote."

The next moment, all eight senior executives in the conference room raised their hands, agreeing to the plan to hand over Shukaku.

"In that case, let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the conference room door.

Then the meeting room door opened, and Pain looked at everyone present and said, "Everyone is talking about Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, but no one has mentioned that such a decision will cost a Jinchuriki his life."

"So... if we want the giant tree to continue growing, then the rotting insects on it must be removed."

"At this moment, you are the parasites of the entire ninja clan."

The black and red cloud-patterned clothing stunned the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure.

"You...you...how did you break in?"

Pain shook his head slightly: "How you got in isn't always important. What's important is that people like you have become an obstacle to the future peace of this world."

"So... I suggest you all just die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly stretched out his hand.

Myriad phenomena guide the heavens.

"puff!"

Under the powerful suction, the high-ranking members of Sunagakure were uncontrollably drawn towards the Heavenly Path.

A black iron rod pierced through the head of a high-ranking Sand Village official wearing a turban, and red and white blood splattered all over the ground.

With his other hand, he grabbed his neck and twisted it off.

"Click".

A crisp sound rang out, and Pain loosened his grip, leaving the corpse carelessly tossed to the ground.

At this moment, a middle-aged man opposite him raised his hand and pointed at Pain: "You...you are Uzumaki Sora?"

The Heavenly Dao shook its head slightly.

He then threw out the iron rod, unleashing the Shinra Tensei in an instant.

"call out!"

The black iron rod accelerated instantly, blowing the man's head off.

"Such a weak force has seized a high position, and in order to protect their lives and status, they are even willing to sacrifice the village's deterrent power."

As he spoke, Tiandao slowly walked forward: "It is precisely because of the existence of trash like you that peace has been unable to arrive. How... how exactly did you manage to sit in this position?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a bloodbath erupted in the conference room.

The stench of blood filled the power center of Sunagakure, and this was only the beginning.

Chapter 277: Gaara, the Changed One

A fierce gale, filled with wind-attribute chakra, swept towards the Preta Path with tiny wind blades.

However, the hungry ghosts, facing such an attack, calmly raised their hands.

Sealing Technique Absorption Seal!

The massive gale was completely absorbed by its single hand.

At the same time, several rockets were fired from behind it.

"Boom boom boom..."

As the explosion rang out, Aiba, a Jonin from Sunagakure, instantly dodged to the side.

But what had just happened sent chills down his spine.

The fact that a Wind Release technique could be absorbed by the opponent is simply unheard of.

"Who are you?! What is your purpose in invading Sunagakure?"

He finished speaking, but received no response.

The arm of the Shura Path, which had just arrived, was severed, and the rocket, accompanied by flames, was launched again.

"laugh!"

With a disdainful smile, Aiba, a Jonin from Sunagakure, once again dodged the rocket with his Body Flicker Technique.

However, the next second, he turned around in horror to find that the rocket that he had just dodged was now turning around and heading straight for him again.

For a moment, Aiba had to dodge quickly, but he still couldn't get rid of the entanglement.

"asshole……"

After letting out a low shout, Aiba's gaze fell upon the two figures not far away. The black and red cloud-patterned clothing—was it Akatsuki?

The enemy will surely defend themselves if you attack. The fact that the opponent didn't engage in close combat at the beginning might be an opportunity.

With that thought, he instantly flew towards the Hungry Ghost Realm.

"boom!"

A robotic arm blocked it, then another one aimed.

"boom!"

Driven by the flames on his back, the impact sent him flying.

The rocket that had been tracking Aiba then headed toward him, who was still in mid-air. If it hit, Aiba would be blasted into dust.

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, it was as if fireworks were going off in mid-air.

However, the Hungry Ghost Realm and the Asura Realm were keeping a close eye on the point of the explosion. The scattered sand and gravel proved that the attack had just been blocked.

As the dust settled, a sphere made of compressed sand and gravel now protected Aiba within it.

Below the sand sphere, Gaara, carrying the large gourd on his back, was looking over with a cold expression.

Aiba, who had narrowly escaped death, was quite surprised. He stared intently at Gaara and said, "I can't believe I was saved by a monster like you. But don't think I'll be grateful to you, you monster!"

Gaara was not surprised at all by these words: "I don't need your gratitude. I'm just doing what I should do."

Aiba snorted coldly at the equally emotionless reply, then slowly lowered the sand ball, and after thinking for a moment, stood next to Gaara.

"The fat guy can absorb my wind-style ninjutsu, while the rough one can launch those homing missiles."

As he spoke, Aiba looked at Shurado's wrist, which had already been pressed back down: "And it seems that the opponent's limbs can be launched at any time, used as weapons to attack unexpectedly."

After a pause, Gaara spoke up: "What about the other four?"

The other four?!

Aiba looked around in horror and saw a sand eye floating high in the sky.

The next moment, four figures landed beside the Hungry Ghost Path and the Asura Path.

Apart from Chiyo, Ebizo, and Aiba in front of them, all the targets have been eliminated.

Tendo slightly raised his head to look at Gaara, while Nagato behind him clearly recognized this One-Tailed Jinchuriki.

As an important part of Sunagakure's future plans, this Jinchūriki in front of us is someone who can promote ultimate peace.

and……

Uchiha Kumo, the true form of Uzumaki Sora, had planted a seed within him. Under these circumstances, Sunagakure might be the first of the Five Great Shinobi Villages to respond.

After a moment of contemplation, Nagato was told by Pain, "From birth, Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, was sealed within you. Because of your young age, you couldn't control this power and it went berserk. Over time, the carnage caused by Shukaku was ultimately attributed to you."

“He was hated by the villagers and rejected by his own father. He was even filled with fear of his own brother and sister.”

“Under these circumstances, you have no reason to save this person. Your heart should be filled with pain and hatred towards this world.”

Gaara remained silent for a moment in response to these words.

Scenes from my memory flashed through my mind: Shukaku's rampage, Yashamaru's death, but more than anything else... was the love of that mother I had never met.

As I gently ran my palm across my face, grains of sand flowed past me like water.

This power doesn't belong to Shoukaku; it's the power her mother left her. Her mother's wish was for her to live happily.

And happiness...

These emotions reminded Gaara of a scene from his memory...

After a long pause, Gaara spoke up: "Only by giving love can you receive love. The power my mother left me is the power to protect. Now, I want to protect this village."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gaara suddenly waved his hands.

In an instant, sand rose up like flowing water, and the sand shuriken shot towards the Heavenly Path.

Pain shook his head slightly and reached out his hand towards Gaara.

Shinra Tensei!

The immense repulsive force sent the sand and gravel flying back. Furthermore, the tremendous power ripped up the street surface, sweeping towards the two of them.

"Shhh!!"

Countless grains of sand gathered at this moment, were scattered, and then gathered again to form a semi-circular sand shield that protected the two of them.

"Shh!"

A puppet descended from the sky, its four arms instantly detaching, and attacked Pain.

"boom!"

Shura Dao appeared instantly, grabbed him with one hand, and blasted the severed arm into dust with a rocket.

Then, the clothing on his shoulder tore open, and after a flash of red light, Kankuro's crow puppet was destroyed.

"Too...too powerful."

Kankuro, who was suddenly called in to provide support, was dumbfounded. His prized puppet was now unable to withstand even a single blow from the opponent.

At the same time, a figure appeared behind him in an instant.

"Is it because of his youth that this young puppeteer is so fearless?"
