Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Based on this, the question of the year I was born has been clarified.

If Obito Uchiha could make his brother wary, then he must have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and possessed the power to control the Nine-Tails.

Before Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was Kushina.

and so……

Taking advantage of the instability of the seal while Kushina was giving birth to Naruto, Obito Uchiha obtained the Nine-Tails and brought it to the center of the village.

The Fourth Hokage sacrificed himself along with Aunt Kushina in order to seal the Nine-Tails.

The Nine-Tails... was then sealed inside Naruto's body.

My brother once said that the Hokage also made a deal with Uzumaki Sora a long time ago, and it was very likely Uzumaki Sora's first deal.

So……

This should be the first time.

Using Obito Uchiha's conspiracy as bait, and then informing Kushina that she might die, even the Fourth Hokage had no choice but to trade his bargaining chips.

So……

What about Vortex Sora?

This world... also lacks the vortex of trading intelligence?

Then what is the point of my coming back?

Just as the doubts in his heart began to rise, Shikamaru continued, "I've only heard bits and pieces of information from my dad, so I can't take it seriously."

"After that, I can only talk about what I know. After all, at our age, there are many things that adults won't tell us."

Sasuke agreed, "Because they don't trust the abilities of us next generation, they'll make too many decisions for themselves."

Shikamaru smiled and said, "What abilities could we possibly have? I don't think they did anything wrong. They're only eight years old, some of them can't even throw kunai accurately yet, what can they possibly do?"

After he finished speaking, the two remained silent for a moment.

Finally, Shikamaru continued, "When we were a little over three years old, Kumogakure expressed its desire to form an alliance with Konoha, and a representative came to Konoha."

"Almost everyone in Konoha knows about this, but the alliance ultimately fell through, and my father never mentions it. I don't know what happened in between."

"For the next five years, Konoha lived a peaceful life under the leadership of the Third Hokage. However, the cause of the Nine-Tails' attack also sowed the seeds of suspicion within the Uchiha clan..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke began his analysis.

In fact, Shikamaru knew very little about the Nine-Tails' rampage, and even less about the envoys from Kumogakure.

But these are precisely the kinds of information I lack.

The turning point that changed the future of the Uchiha clan came when the envoys from Kumogakure attempted to form an alliance. Something must have happened in Konoha at that time.

Shikamaru was unaware of this matter, and his father, Nara Shikaku, dared not mention it, as the Nara family's intelligence clearly indicated that it concerned three generations.

"Ha...whoosh..."

Shikamaru stood up and yawned widely, then turned to look at Sasuke.

"I didn't say anything to you today, and we didn't lie here discussing life. That's it!"

After saying that, Shikamaru left.

Sasuke didn't ask any more questions, clearly indicating that Shikamaru didn't want to have much contact with the Uchiha clan now.

Lying on the water tower, Sasuke looked up at the sky, where clouds drifted slowly by in the wind.

At this stage, just as I said, the only person I can trust is my brother.

……

In reality.

At the current rate of time flow during Tsukuyomi, it is only just evening.

Uchiha Yun continued to maintain the illusion with his own eye power, and it was thanks to his familiarity with Konoha that he was able to deduce it flawlessly.

However, Shikamaru clearly knows more because of the needs of the plot.

"Now that he's calmed down, how long has Sasuke been inside?"

There was some worry in Itachi's eyes.

Yun replied, "It's only been a little over two months. His eyes went from not even having opened them to having three tomoe. His eyes need a buffer period."

Itachi nodded, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked, "In the script you created... will the extermination of the clan really happen?"

Yun looked at Itachi and smiled: "You should still remember that time, right? If you hadn't seized that opportunity, do you think the Uchiha clan would still exist today?"

Itachi thought for a moment and replied, "The Fourth Hokage is alive and well. Otherwise... the Uchiha clan will become expendable resources in their internal strife."

Yun then joked, "The fact that you can say something like that proves that my teachings over the years did have some effect."

Just then, a figure appeared instantly outside the seventh training field.

"Lord Yun, Lord Hiashi asked Lady Hinata how long it will take to return."

Yun looked at the respectful Hyuga branch family members in front of him, waved his hand and replied, "Go back and tell Hiashi that although Hinata's assessment is over, Team 7 is a whole and needs to wait for Sasuke's assessment to be completed."

The Hyuga clan ninja bowed slightly, then vanished in an instant.

Meanwhile, Naruto had already fallen asleep against the wooden stake.

Hinata did the same, but as she fell asleep, her head rested on Naruto's shoulder.

The Hyuga family also witnessed this scene, but said nothing.

……

Chapter 300: Dawn

Illusion Space.

Konoha, the Ninja Academy.

The morning's lessons were a brainwashing session on the Will of Fire, along with some basic knowledge that ninjas need to know.

In the afternoon, there are training sessions for children to fight.

As Sasuke has long held the number one spot, he will inevitably be called out by Iruka to put on a show at this time.

"Dong dong dong..."

With three soft sounds, the kunai and shuriken accurately struck the target.

After reluctantly dealing with the situation, all the girls watching behind her, except for Hinata, clapped enthusiastically.

This scene made Sasuke discover the difference once again.

Karin wasn't there, nor was Shino's older brother, and there was another guy who was incredibly annoying to talk to but always had a fake smile on his face, who was also absent.

Karin Uzumaki...

There should be some connection between them and Kushina's family.

As I was pondering this, a disdainful laugh came from behind me.

Naruto swaggered out and said, "What's so great about that? I can do that too!"

As he spoke, Naruto took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and threw it out.

"Shh!"

The arrow flew past, missing the bullseye, but it grazed Iruka's neck.

It was so bad it almost severed a major artery; if Iruka hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been dead.

"Naruto!!!"

A roar rang out as Iruka angrily strode over from the opposite side of the recording target, but stopped abruptly in front of the student, his expression turning grim.

Sasuke could sense the hatred in Naruto's eyes.

Naruto also stared back defiantly, but there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"call……"

Iruka sighed. "Forget it. There's no need for someone like you."

After displaying an indifferent attitude, Iruka turned around and gathered the other students to prepare for another training session.

In an instant, Naruto, who was standing still, had tears welling up in his eyes.

He'd seen that look in the eyes far too many times. The uncle selling masks, the auntie selling toys…

Besides the ramen shopkeeper at Ichiraku Ramen, there's Shikamaru and Sasuke today. The adults in the shopping district all look at him with the same eyes.

Wiping away his tears, Naruto turned and ran away.

"Naruto!!" ×2

Sasuke and Shikamaru exchanged a glance, then both gave chase.

Hinata, being too young, didn't have the courage to chase after him and could only watch with worry in the direction Naruto had left.

……

They chased him all the way to the back of the Hokage Rock, where Naruto was sitting on the rock, enjoying the breeze and looking down at the village.

Sasuke, who had been following along, didn't say anything and sat down as well. Shikamaru, who arrived last, followed suit.

"Why are they looking at me like that? I'm not a demon fox, I'm Naruto Uzumaki!!"

With a shout, Naruto kicked a piece of gravel down.

Shikamaru, who was standing nearby, thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps they just need someone to vent their anger on. The demon fox's invasion of the village has caused many deaths."

Naruto suddenly turned to look at Shikamaru, but the tears in his eyes could not be held back.

"But I... but I'm not a fox spirit..."

Shikamaru nodded and smiled, "You are Naruto Uzumaki, my friend."

Smiles seem to be contagious as well.

Naruto, who was carefree, also laughed when he saw Shikamaru. Before he started school, Shikamaru was the only one who would bring his friends to play with him.
