Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

And the reason for all of this is... food?

Or perhaps...resources?

Between countries, between ninja villages, between people...

For the first time, some fundamental problems of the entire ninja world began to surface in Shikamaru's mind.

The scene was simple, even rudimentary. The underlying problems of the ninja world were far more complex and complex than depicted in the scene.

However, the issues of nobility and insufficient resources came to mind as a trigger for Shikamaru's thoughts.

Without saying anything, it sparked his thoughts on nobles, ninja villages, resources, and the causes of the war.

"call……"

After letting out a breath, Quan put away the note: "These things are so depressing no matter how you look at them. I don't know why you wanted to include them in your graduation assessment."

"Alright, my task is complete, assessment over."

???

This left Shikamaru momentarily stunned. He hesitated and asked, "Didn't you say... if I didn't pass, I'd have to go back and retake the course?"

Izumi reached out and tapped Shikamaru on the forehead: "If I didn't scare you a little, would you have thought things through seriously just now?"

Shikamaru rubbed his forehead and twitched his eye: "Did Brother Yun say that too?"

Quan nodded nonchalantly: "Yes, you guessed right."

The next moment, the simple three-tomoe slideshow ended.

Then, Izumi began testing Ino and Choji.

……

Night has fallen, but the barbecue restaurants on the commercial street are still bustling with activity.

Class 10 and Class 7, who had also passed the assessment, got together. Of course, it's also possible that Izumi wanted to get a free barbecue.

With a student like Choji, three barbecue meals a day, plus a bottomless pit like Kurama, it seems that the amount of money he has saved up over the years is already predictable.

"How do you conduct your assessments? Are they difficult?"

"It was alright, we just chatted and talked, and then Sister Quan said we passed."

"What? That easy?"

"Sasuke, you're so pitiful."

"What happened to Sasuke? He didn't pass? Well, this barbecue meal should be considered a consolation prize, right?"

"Sasuke passed, but the process was a bit complicated."

"Sasuke-kun...spent several months in genjutsu..."

"Yeah, I only passed the test after the whole village was destroyed. I almost went crazy."

"hiss……"

"Is it that scary? Luckily, our instructor is Izumi-neechan."

"A few months of illusion magic, an illusion space that can control the flow of time, Brother Yun's power has already exceeded the imagination of ordinary people."

……

A group of kids were chatting excitedly, while Ino occasionally stole a glance at the clouds.

After wrapping the grilled meat and handing it to Yun, Izumi glanced at Sasuke.

"I can't believe even Itachi's younger brother is graduating. I remember when we were kids, he would cry whenever he saw me, but now he seems alright."

Yun took the grilled meat and ate it: "How did Shikamaru's test go?"

Izumi shrugged: "Brother, even I don't know how to answer your questions. They're too profound. Even the minds of the Nara clan are too small."

Yun smiled and replied, "If you have a good brain, you should make good use of your strengths. Lu Jiu has retired, but his son has to keep up the work."

Izumi said disdainfully, "This is more like wanting to be able to slack off when he becomes the Fifth Hokage, exploiting child labor."

After downing a glass of wine, Little Nine-Tailed Fox smacked her lips and said, "Those from the Nara family, excluding child laborers, are all incredibly shrewd."

As if remembering something, the Nine-Tails dashed over to Naruto's table.

"I heard I got beaten so badly my upper body was covered in poop?"

……

Chapter 308: They...are suspicious of us

"I heard I got beaten so badly my upper body was covered in poop?"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox's words instantly silenced the few kids who were chatting.

They all knew what kind of being was sealed inside Naruto, and Sasuke was the one who knew it best.

During the genjutsu used in the graduation assessment, Naruto was able to hold off the Akatsuki members by borrowing the power of the Nine-Tails within him.

That immense chakra, the power to shatter mountains with a single strike—a power that probably terrifies everyone except Brother Yun.

"Hey hey hey!"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox shook the bottle: "Don't be so cowardly... So what if you got beaten up and shit yourself? You've already been beaten, can't you even ask?"

At this moment, the Nine-Tails, which had only woken up that afternoon, exploded within Naruto's sealed area.

"That bastard!"

"How dare it say... say such a thing!"

"I'm going to tear it to shreds! Tear it to shreds!"

Naruto looked at the roaring Nine-Tails and scratched his head awkwardly: "Fox Boss... how about we switch people?"

The Nine-Tails stopped roaring and glanced at Naruto: "You should talk to your boyfriend first, otherwise if I go out, that bastard will only become more unscrupulous."

"Huh?"

Naruto said thoughtfully, "So, you're afraid of Hinata, Fox Boss? Don't worry, I already talked to her about it when you passed out this afternoon."

"boom!!"

A crimson claw slammed down in front of Naruto: "Who's afraid of a brat? Naruto, do you want to die?"

Naruto immediately shook his head.

After so many years of getting along, Naruto knows very well that his boss is quite arrogant.

If I keep talking, I might become the one who gets vented on.

……

In reality.

Shikamaru looked at the little Nine-Tails and said, "Lord Nine-Tails, your half-body is actually the same as yours..."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox shook her head, slightly tipsy: "How could that be? How could that guy who got beaten to a pulp be the same as me?"

"Back then, Boss Yun and I teamed up to fight against Uzumaki Sora! You bunch of brats didn't see it, but our opponent's Wood Dummy Technique was almost as tall as the moon..."

"Hmph! In the end, wasn't it me who smashed him to pieces with one swipe of my claw? If Boss Yun hadn't had a trump card he hadn't used yet, that Whirlpool Kong would have been killed by me!"

"Cuckoo!"

"belch!"

After downing a bottle of wine, Little Nine-Tailed Fox patted its belly after letting out a burp: "It's a deep shame that my other half is so weak..."

Just then...

Having just switched consciousness, Naruto, whose six whiskers had grown longer, reached out and grabbed at the staggering Nine-Tails.

The speed was so fast that no one had time to react.

Feigning a slight buzz, Little Nine-Tailed Fox was immediately grabbed by the neck.

"Gah!"

Like lifting a duck, Little Nine-Tailed Fox was lifted up and slammed onto the table.

Then fists rained down like raindrops.

"Bang bang bang..."

"You foul mouth, you bastard!"

"Snapped!"

"Who got beaten to death? You?"

"Clap clap clap!"

"How does it feel, Daibi-kabuto? If I don't slap you to death today, you won't know who the real one is!"

……

After a series of attacks, the Nine-Tailed Fox was completely stunned.

"boom!"

A massive burst of chakra erupted, and the alcohol was expelled from the body in an instant.

The Nine-Tails broke free from the grip of fate, leaped into the air, and began frantically clawing at Naruto's face.

In an instant, the Nine-Tails' chakra filled the private room, and even the grill was shaken and flew up.

"Snapped."

A piece of green vegetable was slapped directly onto Shikamaru's face, and a piece of grilled meat flew into the air and was caught by Choji with his mouth.

Those flying towards Uchiha Kumo were all pushed back by a repulsive force.

The next moment, the Rinnegan with six tomoe appeared in Yun's eye sockets.

"Buzz!"

Under the powerful eye force, the little nine-tailed fox's pupils changed in an instant, and its consciousness sank into the illusion.
