Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

The leader bowed to Minato and asked, "We rushed here as soon as we received the news, Fourth Hokage."

Minato nodded: "Take him back immediately for emergency surgery; the injury is quite serious."

As he spoke, he glanced at the clouds.

This scene infuriated Danzo, who raised his cane to stop the medical ninja carrying the people, saying, "Someone will come to pick them up in a little while."

Minato frowned slightly and said, "As the only two survivors, I think their memories should be able to reconstruct the whole incident."

Danzo's gaze sharpened as he stared at Minato and said, "No one can freely search the minds of Root members... and does the Fourth Hokage believe you can unlock their memories?"

These words reminded Minato of something: the members of Root were all marked with a special curse seal, which allowed them to die, but would not reveal any secrets.

But no one can search freely?

The roots, as expected, had long since become this person's direct subordinates.

In Konoha, only the Hokage has ever had direct access to the Anbu, such as the Third Hokage and himself.

But Danzo...

"Fourth Hokage, there were more than just the two Root members alive here. I think it's necessary to hand this brat from the Uchiha clan over to Root for a memory search." Danzo's somber voice rang out again.

But Minato shook his head unmoved: "The seal that severs the root of the tongue disaster is not unsolvable. I think I can still do it when it comes to sealing techniques."

"Furthermore, Root does not have the right to interrogate Konoha villagers. If I remember correctly, Root's function is merely to train the Hokage's direct ANBU. And the direct ANBU belonging to the Hokage should obey my orders!"

"I! Minato Namikaze is the Fourth Hokage!"

As the final words faded, Danzo stared intently at the young Fourth Hokage before him.

These words really provoked him, and this was also the most powerful moment ever for the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Danzo gripped his cane tightly, his thoughts drifting back to the past…

in case……

If it weren't for Hiruzen, how could I have been in such a sorry state?

The Fourth Hokage...

If I had said that earlier, I, Danzo Shimura, would be the Hokage now. Only I, Danzo Shimura, could have made Konoha more prosperous and powerful!

"Those two Root ninjas are now in your hands. I hope you can give me an explanation in the end. This brat killed Root ninjas, and Root needs someone to pay the price!"

"boom!"

The cane fell heavily to the ground, and Danzo, regaining his senses, led a group of people away.

As the figure gradually disappeared from view, Danzo's voice rang out again: "Fourth Hokage, you have no idea about the evil of the Uchiha clan. One day, you will regret it. Everything I have done is truly for Konoha."

The figure gradually disappeared, but Minato's gaze remained solemn.

Shisui glanced at Minato and said, "Root, which has existed since the time of the Third Hokage, has always been nominally the place where the Hokage's direct ANBU are trained, but those people just now..."

Minato understood what was to come without needing to say more: the Root ninjas had no respect for him, the Hokage.

This situation effectively turned Root into Danzo's direct subordinate ANBU, but that power belongs to the Hokage...

"Still water..."

"What's wrong, Fourth Hokage?"

"You've grown a lot in the past two years..."

Shisui scratched his head and replied with a smile, "I have indeed learned a lot from following the Fourth Hokage for the past two years, and it is normal for me to grow."

Minato smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he looked at the composed Uchiha Yun and said, "I heard Shisui mention you a long time ago, and I've become increasingly curious about you. Uchiha Yun, can you tell me how you did it?"

Having been linked by Shisui, the Uchiha and the Fourth Hokage were already on the same side two years ago, so it wouldn't be good to continue talking nonsense at this point.

But there's no need for excessive explanation; Minato Namikaze naturally knows whether he recognized it as the Root or not.

What he wanted to ask was simply about his own strength.

So Yun slightly raised his head, his Sharingan instantly activated, the three tomoe slowly rotated, and the pattern of three-bladed shuriken appeared in Yun's eye sockets.

"A second pair of Mangekyou Sharingan? With eyes like that, dealing with those two Root ninjas would indeed be easy for you."

Minato was slightly surprised. Although he had often heard Shisui mention this clansman, the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan seemed far too young.

"You'd better stay in the Uchiha clan's territory for the next few days. Shisui said you learned Shadow Clone Jutsu a long time ago. In that case, use Shadow Clone Jutsu to go to school."

Yun nodded and replied, "Will this matter cause any trouble later?"

Minato frowned slightly: "The killing of a Root ninja is, in principle, a major event, but fortunately, thanks to Shisui's efforts over the past two years, many in the Jonin squad are his friends. So..."

Minato, who had only heard of Yun before, wouldn't speak of many things directly, but Shisui, who was standing next to him, trusted Yun very much.

Shisui then spoke up, saying, "There will be many troubles to come, but the two main ones are the attitudes of the various clans in Konoha and the Third Hokage. If either of these two sides is on our side, we can subdue the other side."

"call……"

Minato let out a breath and gave a wry smile: "Shisui, saying that makes me, the Fourth Hokage, seem useless."

Shisui bowed slightly: "How could that be, Fourth Hokage? We have the vast majority of information about the Jonin team. Moreover, the Third Hokage has always trusted you."

These words made Minato smile awkwardly.

The third generation lord, that person trusts more than just himself...

Just as Uzumaki Sora said back then, the Third Hokage's trust in Danzo, his old comrade-in-arms, and his disciple Orochimaru had turned into indulgence.

If this continues...

Only...

Chapter 47: The Beginning of the Root's Destruction

The Third Hokage... was like an old, decaying tree; he could not support the prosperity of Konoha!

Minato recalled what Uzumaki Sora had said in that mysterious space two years ago: the Third and Fourth Kage were both alive at the same time, a situation that Konoha was experiencing for the first time.

The Third Generation Lord was indeed too weak.

Even recently, some of Orochimaru's intelligence seems to have been secretly obstructed by the Third Hokage's direct ANBU.

However, Minato was well aware that the Third Hokage did not want to fight for power.

Just as an old man on his deathbed is always filled with memories, the current Third Hokage is no longer the same Oshio he once was. Like all old men, he indulges in his memories.

"call……"

With a sigh, Minato straightened his expression and smiled at Yun and Shisui: "You guys go back first, I'll handle this."

After speaking, Minato Namikaze glanced at the departing medical team and disappeared from the spot.

……

"Izumi, did you use the ninja cat summoning to notify Itachi?"

"Huh? This is..."

"You two went on a date using ninja cats?"

These words immediately made Izumi blush. She glanced furtively at Itachi and touched her index fingers together: "We didn't go on a date, we just chatted occasionally."

Shisui, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and patted Yun on the shoulder, saying, "You shouldn't be so wicked. If it weren't for Itachi's quick message this time..."

Yun grinned and chimed in, "If it weren't for Itachi, there would be more than just one dead and two seriously injured on the ground."

Shisui shook his head: "The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is not invincible. You should understand the price that comes with using it. Don't abuse this power. Besides, the Uchiha clan, I, Itachi, and Izumi all need you."

Yun understood the last sentence. From Zhishui's perspective, the power of the kaleidoscope, if we disregard blindness, could very well wipe out the entire Root.

However, it's not certain that they could destroy the evidence in Konoha afterwards.

If that's the case, then Yun will have no choice but to defect. Neither he nor the Fourth Generation Lord can change this outcome.

Itachi, who had been silent all along, looked over and said calmly, "Whether it's for the Uchiha clan or the village, your role is more important than mine, so you have to catch up no matter what."

Yun scratched his head. The mentally ill Uchiha patient in front of him, whom he remembered, didn't seem so unpleasant after all.

"I understand. I also like the peace and tranquility of this village. Don't worry."

……

As night fell, the Hokage Building remained brightly lit.

Inside the room, five figures sat upright, yet not a single sound escaped their lips.

“Shisui, in all the meetings about the Uchiha, including the teacher, there have only been four of us. You…”

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, the Fourth Hokage raised his hand to stop him.

He said, "Shisui trusts Yun, so I trust him too."

With a single sentence, Kakashi's questioning was refuted, and Yun and Shisui were given their trust.

However, Shisui, now in a different situation, replied, "Many of my ideas have always been taught by Yun. And now, regarding the Uchiha, he also has the power to help, so..."

Kakashi was somewhat surprised by this. He looked at Yun and asked, "Without a headband, he hasn't graduated yet, has he?"

Shisui nodded: "He's in the same class as Itachi, but it seems that Yun doesn't want to graduate early. He thinks school life is pretty good."

Yun, who was standing nearby, looked at Kakashi and said, "If we're talking about geniuses, shouldn't it be you? Kakashi, a Jonin, graduated at five, a Chunin at six, and a Jonin at twelve. I can't do that."

Kakashi resumed his usual deadpan expression, scratched his white hair, and replied, "These kids these days are really getting more and more terrifying."

fear?

Yun smiled inwardly without replying. "When your disciple turns seventeen and the Six Paths triumph in the final battle, you'll know what a Konoha genin is all about."

"Cough cough."

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was in the center, coughed and focused his gaze before saying, "We have made some discoveries regarding the surveillance of the security forces over the past six months, so we need Shisui to make a judgment."

Shisui took the intelligence scroll, and the information translated by the code team made him frown slightly.

Have you noticed it yet?

Since the time was set by Yun, Shisui has not been idle these past few days, but has instead visited all the Jonin of the Uchiha clan.

This move likely stirred the thoughts of the Seventh and Eighth Uchiha.

Uchiha Setsuna, the guy who's been imprisoned in a heavy prison all this time?
