Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"It's hard to say... he might even get beaten to death."

???

Obito asked in surprise, "After you brought me into your plan, isn't it your responsibility to ensure my safety?"

Kong smiled and shook his head slightly: "Why don't you understand? Bringing you into my plan was just a whim, or perhaps just a manifestation of my perverse sense of humor."

"After all... I still really want to know whether Rin Nohara likes you or Kakashi. What do you think of this reason?"

Obito's eye twitched slightly: "What a terrible personality you have... How does someone like you possess such power?"

He shrugged and said, "I'm actually quite surprised too. I didn't do anything, and it just got to this point."

"Alright. Hurry up and decide. Although your alternate dimension saves a lot of travel time, it still took some time to get here from the Land of Fire."

After a moment of silence...

Obito's gaze turned towards Konoha: "That's where it all started. I once told Rin that I wanted to become Hokage, and she promised to always watch over me..."

"Although it's definitely impossible now, when she can be resurrected, she will definitely want to see a positive and optimistic version of me."

"Instead of being deceived for decades by an old relic that doesn't even have a body."

Uzumaki Sora said thoughtfully, "Actually, at first I wanted to revive Nohara Rin directly and have her have a conversation with you, that would be much more exciting."

Upon hearing this, Obito shuddered, and at that moment he looked at Sora as if he were looking at a demon.

If Lin gets angry and grabs me and hits me, will I fight back?

If Lin questions me about my past dreams, how should I answer?

wrong……

If it were Lin, she would only gently ask herself why she had become like this, and comfort herself that all the sadness had passed, right?

……

Two days later, in the market town of the Land of Hot Water.

At this moment, Uchiha Yun was comfortably soaking in the hot spring, eating the fruit that the owner had given him as a gift.

On the other side of the small pond, Sasuke and Naruto were floating with their heads above water, looking at the clouds with some displeasure.

"Brother Yun, is our mission this time to soak in the hot springs in the Land of Hot Springs?"

"I thought it would be a mission to protect VIPs, to wipe out all the invading enemies, and to show off my skills. But it turns out... it's just a vacation?"

Yun took a bite of fruit: "The reward for the mission is forty million taels of silver. It's all thanks to me that you three little devils were able to carry out such a mission."

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tails inside Naruto went wild.

"Naruto! I want 20 million ryo! If you don't give me 20 million ryo, you can forget about ever using my power again!"

"What?!"

At the sealed site, Naruto almost stumbled and knelt down.

"Boss... it's impossible for all 40 million taels of reward to be mine!"

The nine-tailed fox, lying on the ground, scratched its head with a paw: "It's impossible for it all to be yours. One, two, three, four, how much can you get among the four of you?"

The Nine-Tails, clawing at itself, grinned broadly, but to Naruto, that smile clearly indicated it was after the mission reward.

Just as Dad was right, with such an elder brother inside the body, it knows everything you do, so there's no way you can sneak a little money away from someone else.

"Ok?"

"Kid, I think there's something off about your eyes... What? Trying to sneak a peek at me and hide something from me?"

"Let me tell you... impossible!"

"From this moment until the mission is over, I'll be watching you, even if it means staying up all night!"

Naruto wiped his face, which had been sprayed with spittle, and after regaining his composure, said ingratiatingly, "What's mine is what the boss owns, there's no need to be so particular. But boss, what do you need the money for?"

Nine-Tailed Fox waved its claws, its face full of resentment.

"Although the other half of Uchiha Izumi is a bastard, some of the things it says make sense."

"Although you have gained my approval, in terms of human lifespan, you can only live for a few more decades at most."

"Decades may seem like a long time to you humans; Konoha has only been around for a few decades. But for us tailed beasts, it's just a matter of time."

At this point, Kurama's claws pointed at Naruto.

"When you die of old age, I'll be free. That shameless half-body even managed to get a Konoha ninja beast identity, so he can at least get some salary."

"If I'm free and penniless, I'll have no choice but to go to the Land of Wind and eat sand with Shukaku. That won't do!"

Naruto paused for a moment, then said, "Um... won't the boss merge with your half of body in the future? Since they were originally separated, it's possible for them to merge back together, right?"

"boom!"

The claws slammed down, creating a gust of wind that nearly knocked Naruto over.

"Who would merge with that slut? Shameless, despicable, bastard! That guy has utterly disgraced me!"

"If Uchiha Kumo dies by then, I'll go and eat him! Let's see how he can still show off!"

"And the money it hid under its butt, it'll all be mine then! Hahaha..."

"Uh……"

The figure caught in her peripheral vision made Nine-Tails swallow back her laughter.

I got a little carried away and for a moment forgot that Uchiha Yun was right next to me.

"You just said what if I also fail, right?"

Yun looked at Nine-Tailed Fox with a smile: "Don't worry, for now, I estimate that its lifespan will be about the same as yours."

???

Nine-Tails was stunned for a moment.

Not much difference?

Although he was given consciousness by the old man of the Six Paths, he is essentially still an aggregate of a portion of the Ten-Tails' chakra.

Can chakra die of old age?

That's absolutely impossible!

And a human being... can live that long? How is that possible?

Even an old man, with such formidable strength, eventually faced death one day.

"Gudong."

Swallowing hard, Nine-Tailed Fox lay on the ground and glanced at Yun: "Don't make such scary jokes, they're quite frightening to foxes."

Yun smiled and said, "Who's joking with you? Don't worry, based on the probability of accidents, I'll definitely outlive you."

Yun then looked at Naruto and said, "As the Jonin leading the team, half of the 40 million ryo mission reward is mine, and the remaining 20 million ryo will be split equally among the three students of Team 7."

"In other words... if nothing unexpected happens during this mission, Naruto will be able to receive more than 6.6 million ryo."

???

Nine-Tails was stunned.

The original expectation was 20 million taels, but in the end, only 6 million taels remained.

He glanced at Naruto.

Although this guy was quite easy to talk to, you can't go all the way with taking advantage of others.

We still have to leave half for this brat, so that we'll only have a little over three million taels.

This amount of money isn't even enough for a few meals of barbecue...

"Alright, alright, just give me half of Naruto's share. I need to save money eventually; I don't want to be eating dirt in my old age."

Kurama looked resigned, and Naruto was quite happy about it.

However, Uchiha Yun added, "The money is based on the premise that the mission is successfully completed. If the mission fails, there will be no money at all."

Nine-Tails waved his hand impatiently: "With me here, how could the mission fail? Even if we encounter Uzumaki Sora from Akatsuki, don't we still have Boss Yun?"

"As long as you can stop Vortex Sky, Boss Yun, leave the rest to me. There will be no problem."

Yun ignored Kurama's boasting and left the sealed land with Naruto.

In the hot spring pool.

Yun looked at the two kids and said, "Your powers are unrestricted for this mission. That means you can use either the Mangekyou Sharingan or Naruto's Kurama Mode at will."

Use it freely?

Sasuke asked doubtfully, "Is the enemy very strong? Judging from the current situation in the ninja world, it shouldn't be one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages..."

"Brother Yun...you didn't find the Akatsuki's headquarters and just decided to bring us here on a whim, did you?"

"boom."

Yun reached out and smacked Sasuke on the forehead: "You received your mission from Minato before you set off. Do you think he would let me just lead you guys to your deaths? Especially with his son as your go-to sacrificial lambs?"

Uh!

Sasuke, clutching his forehead, sank into the hot spring in frustration, leaving only his two nostrils sticking out.

Naruto, standing nearby, asked doubtfully, "If it weren't for Akatsuki, the mission reward wouldn't be this high, right?"

Ignoring the little devil's question, Yun looked at the sky, stood up, and walked out of the hot spring.

"Have a meal to loosen up your muscles and bones, and then it will be easier to get started when it's quiet at night."

The two little devils behind him exchanged glances upon hearing this, and they both felt that there was a conspiracy at play.

This scene, no matter how you look at it, seems to have a special meaning, just like that time when they went out of the village to carry out a mission.

Last time, we wiped out the mountain bandits.

There are quite a few C-rank missions like this in Konoha; basically, every genin has done this type of mission to some extent.

But that time...

Bloodshed, killing... these were not difficult for Class 7, who were already mentally prepared.
