Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Kushina patted Naruto's hair: "Just like your father. Your father is a ninja who protects the whole village."

Naruto understood what he was saying and happily kept calling out "Dad!"

But Sasuke, who was standing to the side, looked down and seemed a little dejected. After thinking for a moment, he looked up at his mother and asked, "Mom, why don't my brother and I have a father?"

One sentence immediately silenced the scene.

Even after Kushina stopped Naruto's cheers, she looked at Mikoto apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, Mikoto..."

Mikoto shook her head slightly, squatted down to look at little Sasuke, and said seriously, "Sasuke and Itachi both have fathers, and your fathers are also great ninjas who protect the village. When your brother comes back, Mom and your brother will take you to see your father."

Sasuke nodded seriously, and Kushina, standing beside him, looked at him with a guilty expression.

Regardless of the circumstances, the incident involving Captain Fugaku was indeed caused by his own actions.

"How about Auntie treats you to some meatballs? You can have as many as you want!"

Children don't dwell on sadness for long. Just like now, hearing that they can eat whatever they want, the two children, who have just fallen in love with sweets, cheered with shining eyes.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yun sighed. Although Fugaku's death might not have been a bad thing for the Uchiha, it showed a different kind of tolerance for the child.

The two mothers and their children had just entered the meatball shop and exchanged glances with Yun and his sister for a moment.

Yun stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Itachi's little brother is so big now? I remember the last time I saw him, he wet his pants."

These words made Sasuke blush instantly.

She looked up at the stranger and retorted, "You're talking nonsense! I wouldn't wet my pants!"

Yun smiled and looked at the little Naruto to the side. He was exactly the same as she remembered, with the same hair color as the Fourth Hokage.

Because of Sasuke's attack just now, the little guy is currently hiding behind Kushina.

"Is this the son of the fourth generation? He has the same hair as the fourth generation, so he must be about two years old?"

Kushina nodded: "You're Uchiha Yun, right? I've heard Minato mention you before. You helped Minato a lot a while ago, along with Itachi."

Yun bowed slightly and replied, "That's what I should do."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yun glanced at Naruto and Sasuke one last time, and left after having Izumi say goodbye.

call……

It seems like we should give these two little boys one tube of medicine. If one tube isn't enough, we should give them ten tubes...

After Uchiha Yun left, Mikoto looked at Kushina and said, "That child is only nine years old, right? Can he really help the Fourth Hokage?"

Kushina smiled and said, "Mikoto, do you want to ask about what happened the night before last? Although I'm not very clear about it either, Uchiha Kumo and Uchiha Shisui were both there that day."

Were they all present?

For a moment, Mikoto panicked and hurriedly said, "Kushina, Shisui has been working hard all along, the Fourth Hokage..."

"Snapped!"

Kushina suddenly put her arm around Mikoto and whispered in her ear, "What are you thinking? Don't worry, a high-ranking Konoha official did die that night. But it's a good thing for the Uchiha, Minato accidentally revealed it."

After releasing Mikoto, Kushina scratched her head and said, "To be honest, I also hate that old man, but since he's dead, let's just let it go."

Mikoto finally felt relieved, but Sasuke, who was behind her, remembered the scene.

Chapter 56: The Hyuga Clan

Konoha, the home of the Hyuga clan.

"It seems we all underestimated the Fourth Hokage from the very beginning..."

As Hiashi Hyuga spoke, he looked at the clan crest on the wall. During the Warring States period, this clan crest was once comparable to that of the Senju and Uchiha clans.

And now...

With the decline of the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan has been ostracized by the entire village since the Second Hokage, with only the Hyuga clan remaining steadfast.

This is pride... and also responsibility.

"By winning over the Uchiha clan, who has been ostracized all along, that guy with the nickname Shisui of the Body Flicker, he has accumulated a lot of reputation in the mission team over the past few years."

"And then there's the son of Konoha's White Fang. Because of some things, only the Fourth Hokage could use him. A genius who graduated at five, became a Chunin at six, and a Jonin at twelve—that title was an honor even among his fellow Jonin classmates."

"And that A, there's intelligence that this person can actually use the First Hokage's Wood Release ninjutsu."

"After what happened with Danzo the day before yesterday, the Fourth Hokage's direct ANBU will be firmly under his control, and the Third Hokage's direct ANBU will also feel alienated from him."

"The Uchiha's chance... has come."

After Hiashi Hyuga's voice fell, Hizashi Hyuga, who was sitting opposite him, only slightly raised his head after a long while.

Staring into her brother's eyes, there was a struggle in her whites.

"Why is the head of the family telling me all this? The main family has elders who can discuss matters, but I am just a branch family member, so my opinions will be of no use."

Hiashi Hyuga sighed upon hearing this: "The elders of the main family... don't even have any brothers they can trust..."

Hyuga Hizashi chuckled softly: "A little over a year left..."

More than a year?

Hizashi didn't finish his sentence, but Hiashi knew exactly what his younger brother was talking about.

More than a year later, on the third birthday of the main family, which is also the birthday of his daughter Hinata, the cursed seal of the branch family will be imprinted.

And his younger brother's son, Hyuga Neji, is said to have shown great talent in Gentle Fist at the young age of only three.

That's why Hizashi deeply resents not being from the main family, right?

After all, it was destined from birth to exist to protect the main family, and the cursed seal of the Caged Bird also placed its life and death in the hands of the main family.

"Whether it's the destiny of the main family or the branch family, neither of us can resist it. Hizashi, do not forget the mission of the branch family."

Hiashi looked at his younger brother and then said in a low voice, "Two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan have appeared in the Uchiha clan!"

As soon as the words were spoken, even those who hadn't wanted to listen suddenly looked up, staring at Hiashi with a puzzled expression.

"Is it... those kinds of eyes?"

Hiashi Hyuga nodded slightly: "Unlike the Sharingan with three tomoe, each has its own unique abilities. According to the records of our ancestors, the eyes of the Uchiha clan that surpass the three tomoe all possess special abilities."

Hyuga Hizashi paused, as if recalling the description recorded by his predecessor: "A giant formed by the transformation of blue chakra possesses unparalleled defensive and offensive power. A single strike can shatter the heavens and the earth..."

"That's not all..."

Clearly, Hiashi, as the head of the family, knew more than his younger brother.

“The Uchiha’s eyes have surpassed the three-tomoe Sharingan, and the Mangekyou Sharingan’s abilities are not limited to that. But what worries me most is Uchiha Yun.”

Uchiha Yun?

Hyuga Hizashi asked in confusion, "Why haven't I heard of this name before?"

Hiashi Hyuga pondered, "I had never heard of this name before the incident the day before yesterday. But the information I received indicates that there are two geniuses in this generation of Uchiha."

"One of them is Itachi, who applied to graduate early after only one year of schooling, became a genin at the age of seven, and awakened the double-tomoe Sharingan at the age of eight."

"And the other one... is Uchiha Yun. But in fact... according to the intelligence reports, Uchiha Yun has never activated the Sharingan."

"But the day before yesterday, in my Byakugan... one of the two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was Uchiha Yun."

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the room for a long time.

After a long silence, Hizashi asked, "Was he also nine years old, like Itachi Uchiha?"

Hiashi Hyuga nodded: "The Ninja Academy's records show that he's three months shy of nine years old. He's a ninja even more talented than Kakashi. An Uchiha who has awakened that kind of eye can no longer be measured by the standards of a Jonin."

Ninja Academy?

Hizashi paused, then asked, "Still in school?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Risa suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

Konoha has never lacked geniuses during wartime. While geniuses like Kakashi, who graduated at five and went to the battlefield, became Chunin at six and Jonin at twelve, were not numerous, they did exist.

but……

It's unprecedented for someone to possess such power of vision to remain confined to the school and never venture out.

After a long while, the Japanese woman, who couldn't understand the cultural differences, put aside the question and asked, "The other kaleidoscope, isn't it Shisui?"

Hiashi nodded: "Compared to Uchiha Kumo, Uchiha Shisui has battlefield experience, and no one knows when he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"The power of the Uchiha has become so great that even Konoha needs to weigh the gains and losses. After this power unfolds, the Fourth Hokage needs to start taking into account the feelings of these two Uchiha members in some of his decisions."

As soon as he finished speaking, Risa nodded slightly.

The elder brother's statement is the best option for the Fourth Hokage at present, or rather, when the Uchiha's two Mangekyou Sharingan appear, Konoha's attitude will have already changed.

Even though the higher-ups still fear the Uchiha, fearing that they might go mad and destroy Konoha like Madara Uchiha.

But when fear goes too far, it becomes a political compromise.

"call……"

After a sigh, Hiashi Hyuga said, "There is something I need your opinion on."

Hyuga Hizashi looked over, and after a moment of thought, Hiashi said, "About two weeks ago... because of the Byakugan's ability, Hyuga coincidentally obtained some information."

"The Shimura clan members in the Specialized Penitent Ninja Detention Center will help the Uchiha Fighting Faction rescue someone from there."

Serious offender?

Hiashi did not interrupt his brother's statement and continued, "After further investigation, I learned that the Uchiha's martial faction wanted to rescue Uchiha Setsuna, who was once imprisoned by the Second Hokage."

“Neither you nor I are familiar with this person, but according to the clan’s records, he holds a very high position within the Uchiha clan. He could even be considered the most senior martial artist besides Madara Uchiha.”

After a long while...

Hizashi said, "Has the balance of power between the militant and moderate factions within the Uchiha clan become unbalanced? If that's the case, then Shisui and that Uchiha Kumo are both on the moderate side, right?"

"Does the clan head want to know what the Hyuga clan should do? Tell Uchiha Shisui or Uchiha Kumo? Or perhaps..."
