Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

I finally got someone to treat me to a meal, and I drank all the wine I had stored last night, so I was planning to have another good drink today... but I can't find it!

Shukaku rubbed his palms together, and in an instant, the sand and gravel on the floor beneath his feet quickly gathered together, forming eyeball-like objects.

Eye of the Sand.

The eyeballs drifted away in all directions.

After a long time, they still found nothing.

The free drinks... are gone?

The wine I had stored away was all used up yesterday.

He reached under his buttocks and found only two coins.

Shukaku plopped down on the ground, and in her emotional state, she almost burst into tears.

Just then, a figure stood behind Shukaku.

What are you doing here?

Shukaku turned around and saw the cloud, and his emotions immediately erupted.

"Boss...I...I'm so poor!!"

……

Looking at the two coins in Shukaku's hand and seeing his pitiful appearance, Yun sighed and said, "At least you still have some, that's not bad."

Shukaku slumped, head bowed. "I'm probably the poorest tailed beast in history. I can't afford sake, and I can't even eat meat..."

"Quan finally treated us to drinks, but I can't find a place to go. Why am I so unlucky??"

Yun scratched his head helplessly: "You still have wine to drink. Think about your other half, it's probably still sealed away right now."

Itachi glanced at the time, clearly eager to discuss something.

After looking at Shukaku and weighing the pros and cons, he said, "Let's go to a barbecue restaurant, it's on me."

Yun looked at Itachi: "Since we're already preparing to start, there's no need to be in such a hurry. We've done all the preparations and experiments in three years, so there won't be any problems."

Itachi nodded and looked at Shukaku: "You can't tell the main body about what we're going to discuss next. Although it's not a big secret, I don't want Sunagakure to know either."

Upon seeing this, Shukaku scrambled to his feet in a flash.

He patted his chest with one paw and said, "Don't worry, my mouth is much tighter than that stinky fox's. As long as you buy me a drink, you'll be my brother from now on. Just say the word if you need anything, and I'll be there for you!"

These words made Itachi shake his head speechlessly, and he looked at Yun, saying, "A perfectly good tailed beast, ever since it followed you, it's completely lost its threat. It's simply..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Yun spoke for him: "This is outrageous! Look at you, you've been influenced by me, let alone these two guys who live in my house every day."

With that, the two of them led Shukaku to the barbecue restaurant.

As soon as he stepped inside, Yun looked in one direction and smiled.

Little Nine-Tailed Fox hasn't been idle these past three years; at least the shielding barrier inside the private room is very well done.

"Didn't you want to know where Izumi and Kurama are? Look, they're in there."

"By the way, it looks like that guy has already drunk ten bottles, and he drank yours too."

???

Shukaku, who already knew sealing techniques, was stunned for a moment, but then realized what was happening.

"Shh!"

He rushed into the private room, and immediately the angry curses of the two tailed beasts inside came out, which even included some nationalistic chants.

However, the noise only lasted for a few seconds before Shukaku, with only a small amount of chakra, was pinned down by the Nine-Tails.

"Oh? You actually came looking for me? I never knew a stupid raccoon could be so clever."

"I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Damn it, I did nothing wrong! You stinking fox, I'll definitely report you to the Demon King when I get back!"

"I'll be sober in a minute, then let's see how you report me! Besides... I'll have two big dunks right now, you'll call me daddy, believe it or not?"

……

Amid the arguing, Ino tugged at Izumi and asked, "Um... who is the Demon Lord?"

Quan watched the argument silently, sighed, and replied, "My mom... she's the real eldest in the family. Even my older brother has to listen to her, so..."

Shikamaru sighed, "I'm afraid only Brother Yun could have managed to bring a tailed beast to its current state."

Meanwhile, Choji was cheering for the two tailed beasts.

Fighting for food is the only truly just war!

……

Inside another private room.

"Starting tomorrow? Is that script okay?"

Itachi's voice held a hint of worry, after all, it was using the combined power of two people's eyes to unleash Tsukuyomi, and there were simply too many scenes to construct under the genjutsu.

Uchiha Yun shook his head slightly: "This kind of script is the most suitable. The whole scene only includes Konoha and Orochimaru's base. There is no need to build too much else."

Nodding, Itachi asked again after a long pause, "Do you think... Sasuke will believe it?"

Yun replied, "After he went in, he naturally wouldn't believe it. He would think it was all fake, and perhaps he would guess that it was an illusion test."

"But that's why it needs a genjutsu like Tsukuyomi as its foundation. When a normal Tsukuyomi ability is activated, one instant outside is equivalent to seventy-two hours inside."

“Starting from the turning point, he began to create a script, and after ten years, he could only believe that it was the real world.”

As he spoke, Yun handed the seasoning to Itachi and placed two slices of grilled meat on his plate.

"Don't overthink it. At least this move awakened Izumi's three-tomoe Sharingan. And this time, thanks to my eye power, the time span in the illusion space reached nearly ten years, so the chance of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan in one go is quite high."

"Of course... experiences along the way will speed up the process, and as long as the other party's memory is intact, there won't be any problems."

Upon hearing this, Itachi nodded.

For more than three years, Obito and that guy dressed entirely in black went into hiding.

Despite several attempts, the joint search team returned empty-handed each time they went to investigate.

Even the tailed beasts were powerless against those two.

After several attempts, the Tailed Beasts that had been roaming outside were captured, which alerted the five great ninja villages.

Using the tailed beasts as the target of protection, the summoning technique is used to send a message for help, and the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Cloud Village's Heavenly Delivery Technique are used to achieve the purpose of rapid rescue.

The combination of these three factors, while preventing the opponent from making any further moves, also forced them into complete hiding.

In this situation, the only way to avenge his father might be to entrust the task to Sasuke.

Itachi placed his hands on his eyes. Although he had used the abilities of these eyes very little over the past three years, his vision had already begun to decline.

The kaleidoscope is clearly insufficient to counter the abilities of foresight and etherealization.

So... forgive your brother, Sasuke.

I have no choice but to entrust my future to you.

Chapter 292: Deterrence on Shisui

Konoha, the home of the Uchiha clan.

In the courtyard, Shisui poured a cup of tea he had brewed and then pushed it to Uchiha Kumo across from him.

"Itachi thought there was some misunderstanding between us, but his personality isn't suited for persuasion, so he sent me to find you. The genjutsu I'm going to use on Sasuke tomorrow will require your Mangekyou Sharingan ability."

Shisui drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, and slightly opened his left eye, the pupil of which was already grayish-white.

"Some things shouldn't be a misunderstanding. Maybe I was wrong from the beginning, but there's one thing I've never understood. Can you answer that for me?"

Yun nodded: "Ask me anything. I'll tell you selectively what I can."

Yun smiled and said, "By the way, this time... I don't want your chips, although I know you won't give them to me."

In an instant, Shisui tightened his grip on the teacup with his right hand.

"Crack. Bang!"

The teacup shattered into pieces, the sharp edges even cutting Zhishui's palm, and drops of blood fell onto the table.

After a while, Shisui looked around and realized that the barrier that shielded his senses had obviously been set up long ago.

"So it really is you... So now... are you going to kill me?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "There's no need. You've had your suspicions for more than just a day or two, but you haven't told anyone, have you? Not even Minato, you didn't dare to even hint at it."

Shisui exhaled: "No one can believe it. The only two people in this world who have surpassed the limits of ninja power are actually the same person. No one can believe it, because that would be the greatest disaster."

Upon hearing this, Yun shook his head again: "There are far more than two people in this world who have surpassed the limits of ninjas. There is one on the moon, and countless others beyond this planet."

Beyond the planet?

Upon first hearing this term, Shisui frowned slightly.

The concept of planets exists in the ninja world, but beyond that...

"So... your goal is to fight against enemies from outside this planet?"

"Do not."

Yun smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago that all the things we are doing at this stage are for the purpose of world peace."

"During the war between Konoha and Kumogakure, I felt that I should do something for the world. Before that, I just wanted to survive."

To survive?

Shisui frowned as he looked at Yun: "With your intelligence capabilities, you already obtained the Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique twelve years ago. Who... could threaten your life?"

"Knowing all the secrets of this world, that mysterious trading space can give you everything. Don't you find it a bit ridiculous to live like that?"

Yun pushed the teacup over and tapped it to indicate that tea should be poured.
