Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Then Kakuzu asked Pain, "Sora Uzumaki... do you have another mission?"

Heaven did not speak.

……

On the Yatagarasu, Pain looked at the Sunagakure village that was getting further and further away from him.

The attack on Sunagakure has achieved its objective, drawing the attention of the five great ninja villages and allowing Kirigakure to complete its task.

While they make a big show of it, Uzumaki Sora will take assassination measures.

Sunagakure Village...

Once the militant faction is eliminated, that young Jinchūriki, as a moderate with power, should gradually gain recognition.

In other words, he is still too young. Even if he has enough strength, he still cannot convince the masses.

Otherwise... if we find an opportunity to kill the Fourth Kazekage, then Sunagakure will have accomplished all its objectives.

……

Meanwhile, in Sunagakure Village.

After Pain and Akatsuki withdrew, the devastated Sunagakure was filled with the sounds of weeping.

For a time, the five great ninja villages that came to provide support felt a sense of shared sorrow, like the fox mourning the death of its kin.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that none of the weeping and wailing were from ordinary villagers, and the closer one gets to the center of the Wind Shadow Building, the more wailing there is.

Those located near the village center represent the core strength of the village.

At this moment, the support team had already gathered in front of the Fengying Building.

"All the enemies in the village have left. Judging from the rising smoke, it looks like some kind of psychic magic."

Onoki was the first to share his side's information.

Minato replied, "I didn't get much information because I needed to send Lady Chiyo from Sunagakure out for treatment. Repulsion and attraction should be the opponent's abilities."

Mei Terumi and Darui exchanged an awkward glance.

“We only have one enemy here, but his abilities are very powerful. Whether it’s Water Release, Lightning Release, or even the Mizukage’s Boil Release and Lava Release, as long as it’s a ninjutsu, he can absorb all of them.”

Mei Terumi nodded: "And their taijutsu is equally impressive. With their abilities countered, neither the Raikage nor I were able to retain their power for the time being."

Then the group turned their attention to Yun.

But Yun shrugged: "I fought a few rhinoceroses and chameleons that I summoned. As soon as they saw me, they didn't even think about fighting me. They exchanged a few blows and then took the opportunity to leave the summoned beasts behind and escape."

As they were talking, the door to the Fengying Building was opened.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, looked extremely grim. The losses suffered by Sunagakure had reached a critical point.

Many Jonin and Chunin with war experience have been killed.

"Fellow Shadows, please come in..."

Luo Sha's heart had already undergone some changes at this moment.

After exchanging glances, the group went to the conference room together.

Rasa then recounted the details of the attack on Sunagakure, which was part of his previous work.

Luo Sha, who always acted in his own self-interest, looked heavily at the four figures in front of him.

"Everyone, Sunagakure has suffered heavy losses. It could even be said that most of its fighting force has been killed this time."

"The power of Akatsuki has already been proven this time."

Onoki looked up slightly at Rasa: "Tell me your plans after this. Akatsuki is now not only the enemy of Sunagakure, but also the enemy of the entire ninja world."

"Under these circumstances, I urge Lord Kazekage not to hold back his strength. After all, if it weren't for Konoha's Flying Thunder God Technique, we probably wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly."

Rasa immediately replied, "Even if it's to avenge our fallen comrades, Sunagakure will never hold back its strength."

Rasa then looked at Minato: "Hokage, the Akatsuki is still making their move. Is it still necessary for Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, to go?"

Minato replied somewhat helplessly, "My master has probably already arrived at Amegakure by now. Whether we can negotiate or not can be put aside for now... I suppose the Kazekage should know the success rate of my master's mission..."

Luo Sha nodded slightly.

Jiraiya went to find the disciple who possessed the Rinnegan, but the one who attacked Sunagakure this time was none other than Pain.

The intelligence reports they received upon their return indicated that the other party, having already found the way, would not be persuaded by Jiraiya.

"Then let's gather the intelligence next."

Minato looked at the group and said, "Also, I think you should send a message back now. If you're going to form Akatsuki, request support from here first. With Yun's Flying Thunder God coordinates, our mobility isn't inferior to theirs."

Yun, who was standing nearby, also spoke up: "It would be best to use spirit communication as the medium, as that would be the fastest method. After all, we are currently... in a very passive position."

passive.

The appearance of this word made everyone frown.

After a long silence, Onoki said in a deep voice, "We've already notified almost everyone in the village before this. The most urgent thing now is to analyze the information about the Rinnegan."

Darui nodded: "When news of the attack on Sunagakure came out, I notified the village to be on high alert. Also... Kumogakure has methods for teleporting items, so message transmission can be done the fastest."

At this moment, Mei Terumi hesitated: "I wonder if you all noticed that Uzumaki Sora was not among the Akatsuki members who attacked Sunagakure this time."

Darui added, "Indeed not. With such formidable combat power, the other side wouldn't leave it at home to rot."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment, pondering the question.

If Uzumaki Sora isn't here, where could he have gone?

It's worth noting that Uzumaki Sora also possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, and combined with his individual combat strength, perhaps...

Their target was not Sunagakure from the beginning, but had another purpose!

After a moment of silence, just as Minato was about to say something, Yun interrupted him, saying, "Someone's coming."

……

Yun looked out the conference room window: "It seems that the two people who came this time are from the Akatsuki split. We already knew their plan before this, the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan."

"Everyone, it seems we were right. They've already headed towards Gaara, taking advantage of the chaos."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun's figure vanished from the spot.

Onoki also took to the air: "Those two bastards are only good at protecting themselves. They actually dared to try and steal a Jinchuriki at this time. It seems they don't take us seriously!"

With that, Onoki flew out of the window and headed in the direction Yun had just been looking.

Minato sighed and looked at the remaining three: "Let's go. In any case, it would be beneficial for us to take down one of them first."

……

A place of seclusion.

When Goara, Temari, and Aiba arrived, besides a tattered battle scene, only a few Sunagakure investigative ninjas were still working.

Gaara paused, then murmured, "Is it... over? Under that kind of power..."

At this moment, the searching ninja looked at the three of them.

He frowned as his gaze swept over Gaara, but returned to normal only when it landed on Aiba.

"Lord Aiba."

One of them walked over and bowed slightly.

Aiba glanced at Gaara and then asked, "What's going on here? Where are Granny Chiyo and Lord Ebizo?"

The Chunin from the search team clenched his fists so tightly that his body trembled slightly.

"Granny Chiyo is critically injured and unconscious, and Lord Ebizo has already lost all signs of life. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Hokage of Konoha, Granny Chiyo would probably have suffered the same fate..."

At this point, everyone's expression turned sorrowful, and when Xiao was mentioned, their voices were filled with hatred.

"call……"

After letting out a breath, Gaara turned around and said, "Now that it's over, let's go."

The indifferent tone instantly displeased several Chunin from the search team.

The one who had just replied glared at Gaara and said, "The one who sealed the One-Tailed Beast into your body was Granny Chiyo. Now she's seriously injured and unconscious. You should be very happy, right? Jinchuriki..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gaara, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks.

Seeing this, Temari looked at Gaara with some nervousness. If he lost his temper at this moment, all the efforts he had made before would be in vain.

However, Gaara did not get angry, and there was not even any murderous intent in him.

Gaara turned to look at the other person.

"Are you enraged, you monster? If you're going to kill me, then hurry up and do it. After all, that's how you killed Yashamaru, wasn't it?"

Yashamaru...

A figure from the past surfaced in his mind, and Gaara asked, "What is your relationship with Uncle Yashamaru?"

"Hehe... Uncle?"

After a cold laugh, he looked at Gaara: "How can you say that title so casually? If it weren't for you, how could Yashamaru have died?"

After he finished speaking, Gaara remained silent for a moment.

Then, looking directly into the other person's eyes, he said, "Uncle Yashamaru did indeed die because of me. At that time, I didn't understand what my mother and uncle left me."

"And now... I want everyone's approval. If you feel you have an irreparable hatred for me, then come and kill me!"

Gaara!

Temari exclaimed in surprise, reaching out as if to do something, only to find that she couldn't do anything at all.

The Chunin retorted sarcastically, "As the village's Jinchuriki, I have no right to kill you. However... gaining my approval is impossible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly rose from the ground.

Masked Obito chuckled and said, "As the village's most important weapon, they can't bear to kill you like this. You're the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, so how about I do it for him?"

The sound startled everyone, because they hadn't detected the person's presence before.

Aiba gripped his longsword tightly: "Black clothes with red clouds, I can't believe you dared to come back in this situation."

return?
