Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Itachi nodded, and then led Sasuke away from there.

Sasuke was still in shock, and he couldn't bring himself to say what his original purpose for coming here was.

He did not trust the three generations who had taught him by word and deed.

……

Konoha, commercial street.

Itachi bought two skewers of dumplings and handed one to Sasuke: "Why did you skip class?"

Sasuke took the dumpling but had no appetite and didn't know what to say for a moment.

At just twelve years old, he has experienced far too many changes in such a short period of time.

After a long silence, Sasuke finally spoke, asking, "Where is the Fourth Hokage? Why is it the Third Hokage in the Hokage's office, and not the Fourth?"

Upon hearing this, Itachi looked at the Hokage Rock not far away: "The Fourth Hokage sacrificed himself in the Nine-Tails incident. Since then, the Third Hokage has once again served as the Hokage."

"These are things...you should have learned them at school, you should know them."

???

Sacrificed?

The Fourth Hokage... he actually sacrificed himself long ago?

At that moment, Itachi glanced at the sky out of the corner of his eye, and it was clear that he had noticed the Third Hokage watching him.

Sasuke quickly asked again, "What about Uchiha Un?"

Uchiha Yun?

Itachi was stunned. Does the Uchiha clan have such a member?

Seeing his confusion, Sasuke immediately said, "It's Uchiha Izumi's older brother, the one who is now known as the strongest person in the entire ninja world. Uchiha Kumo is also your friend, brother."

Itachi shook his head slightly: "Izumi's family only has one daughter, and there is no brother as you mentioned... In addition, in my memory, there is no clansman named Uchiha Kumo in the Uchiha clan territory."

"Sasuke... are you too tired?"

……

Chapter 298: Everything Has Changed

Are you too tired?

Sasuke froze on the spot for a moment.

How can it be?

How could Brother Yun not be there?

If it weren't for Brother Yun, then who has been blocking the Vortex Sky all these years?

If it weren't for Brother Yun, who could I tell about the future?

Now... even the Hokage isn't the Fourth Hokage, but the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who doesn't trust the next generation at all.

Under the pressure of his thoughts, Sasuke's eyes uncontrollably surged with powerful ocular energy, and the three tomoe appeared, slowly rotating in his eye sockets.

"The Sharingan with three tomoe?"

This scene stunned even the usually composed Itachi.

What just happened?

Nothing happened; he simply asked a non-existent clansman, and Sasuke immediately activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

The power in Sasuke's eyes made him realize what was happening.

Yes, nothing can prove one's past better than these eyes.

If it weren't for Brother Yun and the Hokage rescuing me in the end, these eyes would never have become the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Now is not the time to be complacent; we must find out clearly how the past and future have changed.

No matter what... everyone must survive!

"Snapped."

A hand suddenly landed on Sasuke's forehead, and Itachi's gaze was very serious at that moment.

"Sasuke, no matter how you awakened your Sharingan, from today onwards, you are not allowed to display this power!"

"Say yes, brother!"

Sasuke stared directly at Itachi, his mind racing.

On the way from the Ninja Academy to the Hokage Building, the Hokage Rocks remained unchanged, still consisting of four rock formations.

This shows that Naruto's father, the Fourth Hokage, did indeed exist.

On the other hand, from the few words spoken by Brother Yun, Brother Shikamaru, and others a long time ago, we can learn that the Third Hokage did not trust the Uchiha clan too much...

and many more!

There is another person, someone I only know about from Shikamaru's guesses.

Known as the Darkness of Konoha, the leader of Root, and the man killed by Uzumaki Sora long ago: Shimura Danzo.

Information about this person mostly comes from veteran Jonin of the Uchiha clan.

(Things have finally gotten better since Danzo, the high-ranking official who persecuted the Uchiha, died.)

(If it weren't for the strict orders from the clan chief and Lord Yun, I wouldn't have considered the Shimura clan as my comrades.)

(They actually dared to covet the power of the Sharingan; they deserve to die!)

(Danzo is a member of the Shimura clan, but not all members of the Shimura clan are Danzo. The Shimura Ken at the outpost, for example, gained Lord Kumo's approval.)

……

That person is still alive!!

In an instant, Sasuke guessed something.

Is it because of Danzo?

Sasuke's words left Itachi stunned once again.

Itachi, who has already awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, has long served as the captain of the ANBU. His long-term assassination missions and the conflicts between his family and the village have taught him to hide his emotions.

But at this moment, he was facing Sasuke, his younger brother whom he cared about most.

How did you know this name?

Itachi's answer confirmed to Sasuke that Danzo was still alive.

With the Third Hokage currently in power and Danzo still alive, the state of the Uchiha clan is quite predictable.

Thinking of this, Sasuke raised his head: "Brother Shisui... the Third Hokage said he was gone, did he die?"

Despite not answering the question directly, Itachi nodded nonetheless: "Sasuke, something... happened to you?"

Sasuke nodded slightly in return.

He knew his brother's mind very well. The Fourth Hokage once said that his brother was the most qualified ninja, with top-notch intelligence analysis and patience.

But now, Sasuke is hesitant about whether he should tell his brother everything, and whether his brother will believe him.

The idea of ​​someone coming back from the future seems too far-fetched, even to myself.

After letting out a breath, Sasuke replied, "The Third Hokage didn't actually trust the Uchiha clan, and his old friend Danzo was eyeing the power of the Sharingan... So, brother... what do you want to do?"

Itachi frowned slightly, looked at Sasuke for a while, then extended two fingers and tapped them on Sasuke's forehead.

“Sasuke, you should be focusing on your studies at school now, instead of worrying about the clan. Your father and brother are here to take care of things, everything will be alright.”

Feeling the touch on his forehead, Sasuke's eyes instantly reddened.

At that time...

Facing Akatsuki's enemies, his older brother appeared.

And those eyes, which had gone blind and turned white, appeared clearly in Sasuke's mind at that moment.

"Don't treat me like a child, brother! These eyes are already three-tomoe Sharingan. Even if I'm not strong enough, I can still be a special Jonin."

"Brother... tell me about the current state of the Uchiha clan. Perhaps I have a solution?"

Itachi hesitated for a moment, and reached out to ruffle Sasuke's hair, but Sasuke dodged it.

The three-tomoe eyes do indeed possess the ability to dodge.

"A Sharingan with only three tomoe isn't enough to qualify as a Special Jonin. You're only eight years old; studying at the Ninja Academy is what you should be doing."

Sasuke stared directly at Itachi, his gaze unwavering: "How far do we need to go? The Mangekyou Sharingan? But the Uchiha problem isn't about power, you should know that, brother."

Itachi looked directly at Sasuke as well: "You've changed a lot today, it even makes me wonder if someone used some kind of secret technique to transform into your appearance..."

Sasuke replied, "With the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques, there are many things in this world that can be broken through, but hiding them is absolutely impossible."

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

The two pairs of eyes met, but neither gave in.

After simultaneously withdrawing their gazes, the two walked towards their clan's territory. One in front of the other, each lost in their own thoughts.

After a long time, the two arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory.

Itachi glanced in the direction of home: "How about exchanging information at the Seventh Training Ground on this week's day off?"

Sasuke nodded: "At this moment, the only person I can trust is you, brother!"

These words made Itachi slightly lose his composure.

What exactly happened to Sasuke? Could it be Danzo?

Because of his own reasons, does he believe that Sasuke also has the potential to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?

At this moment, the two had arrived at their doorstep.

At this moment, a serious-looking man stood in the courtyard, dropping a handful of fish food to feed the ornamental fish in the pond.

"Sasuke, why are you skipping class?"
