Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"It seems that the head of the family has forgotten what the Hyuga clan has been able to rely on to remain aloof all this time."

As he spoke, Rishi looked at his older brother's forehead, where he saw that his brother was missing something.

in case……

The thought had just begun to form when Hizashi extinguished it himself. Ultimately, it was all for Hyuga.

Hiashi, oblivious to his younger brother's struggle, continued, "The night before last, for some reason, I had to stand behind the Fourth Hokage."

Hizashi paused, then asked, "Have you already made your choice?"

Hiashi nodded: "After Danzo's death, Konoha will enter the era of the Fourth Hokage's rule. The Third Hokage is old, a kind and gentle old man who wants to maintain everything..."

He was about to say something when the sound of people approaching from afar outside the door silenced him.

After a long while, the knocking sounded.

"Knock knock knock, Master of the family."

"Come in."

At that moment, Tokuma, who had branched out of the family, walked in with his head down, holding a letter in his hand and bowing as he handed it over.

"Master, this is a visiting card from Uchiha Yun. He and Uchiha Shisui will be visiting the clan tomorrow."

Hiashi reached out and took it, his eyes becoming even more serious. When he looked at Tokuma, he asked again, "Uchiha Un and Tokuma, you were in the same class, right?"

Tokuma paused for a moment and then nodded. In fact, if it weren't for Uchiha Shisui's name on the post, he would never have sent it back to the head of the main family.

An Uchiha who's still in the Ninja Academy wants to pay a visit to the head of the Hyuga clan? What a joke!

"Tokuma, this Uchiha Kumo... is there anything special about him at school?"

Upon hearing the head of the family's question, Tokuma pondered for a moment before replying, "As for Yun, he's a bit special. More than two years ago, when school had just started, he intentionally approached me and Inuzuka Hana. I didn't understand it at the time, but I've only recently come to terms with it."

"Looking back now, during the entire school term, Uchiha Yun had taken the initiative to contact most of the clans with secret techniques and bloodline limits. But the next day, he received a deliberate rejection and stopped contacting them."

……

After replying, Tokuma left.

Hiashi Hyuga glanced at the invitation in his hand and casually handed it to Hizashi.

"Judging from the reactions of the younger generation, this kid is no ordinary person, judging from the general attitude of the various clans in the village towards the Uchiha. Plus, with his Mangekyou Sharingan, he's not simple either..."

Hyuga Hizashi glanced at the invitation in his hand and replied, "Let Tokuma deliver it... It seems that even Uchiha Shisui listens to the opinion of this guy named Kumo."

Hiashi replied, "The Uchiha's purpose in coming stems from my stance the night before last. Since they came in such a formal manner, I should take it seriously. And once I take it seriously, the Third Hokage will be even more certain of my position."

"Hesitation won't do. Let's send that intelligence to the Uchiha."

……

After his conversation with Hiashi ended, Hizashi had just stepped outside when he saw his niece, the little girl who had inherited the main family's identity.

On the same smooth forehead, different fates will befall them a year later.

For a moment, a murderous intent flashed in Hizashi's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and turned to leave.

……

Konoha BBQ Restaurant.

Itachi, who had just returned from a mission, looked at the grilled meat in front of him and said, "I still think the three-colored dumplings taste better."

Yun, standing to the side, retorted unhappily, "It's always the dumpling shop, I'm about to be overwhelmed by the sweetness. You used to argue when I said you liked sweets, but now you've completely given up?"

Shisui smiled at the two of them, preventing the conflict from escalating, and said, "Let's go to the dango shop next time Itachi comes back. Let's celebrate with barbecue this time."

These words indeed interrupted Itachi's follow-up. After returning from the mission, he learned from Shisui that Danzo had died.

With Danzo gone, the matter of the Cloud Killing Root ninjas naturally came to an end.

In that case, it's definitely worth celebrating.

"Actually, I could always sense his spying on the Sharingan, but I happened to be out on a mission. Otherwise, I would have liked to find that Uzumaki Sora." Itachi said, clenching his fist.

Shisui sighed, "Back then, Uzumaki Sora disappeared suddenly. Under the Flying Thunder God Technique, no one could stop him, not even the Fourth Hokage."

At this point, Shisui looked at Yun and asked, "Are we going to visit Hyuga tomorrow? It's only a day. Even though we've sent a visiting card, wouldn't that be impolite?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "The Hyuga have no choice, and Hiashi has to see us too. If it weren't for his stance the night before last, he could ignore the Uchiha's invitation, or even have a branch family member come to see us."

"But after yesterday, the Third Hokage will definitely think that the Hyuga and Uchiha have joined forces and stood behind the Fourth Hokage, so he will have no choice but to choose sides."

Zhi Shui nodded: "Then what's the point of us going?"

"Send the signal!"

Yun smiled and replied, "Send a signal to all the secret bloodline clans in Konoha. For a long time, besides the Senju and Uchiha clans, Konoha has had two representative clans."

"The search team's glare, and the Ino-Shika-Cho secret technique. The Ino-Shika-Cho are still untouchable; the Sarutobi clan are their witnesses, and we'll have to deal with them later."

"However, the Hyuga clan, which controls the search team, only needs one opportunity to be tied to the Uchiha clan."

As Yun spoke, he looked at Zhishui and said, "Even if we succeed at the clan meeting the day after tomorrow, we will still have a hard time dealing with the garrison forces, even with the approval of the fourth generation. Holding a slow poison that resembles great power, clansmen who cannot see clearly are unwilling to give it up."

"We need sufficient say in high-level meetings, and there must be clear rules and regulations within the clan to get things done. And most importantly... money!"

Uchiha Yun looked at Itachi: "The security forces are under the direct management of the Uchiha clan, but the funding has always been unsatisfactory. Itachi should be aware of this, right?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded: "When my father was alive, he mentioned that the police force's finances had always been tight."

"After the Uchiha clan members became ninjas, they were not well-liked in mission teams due to personality issues or... talent issues. I have personal experience with this."

Shisui smiled and asked, "Is it still that Tianma? Even someone as kind as Itachi can't do it? It seems I was indeed too naive."

At this point, Shisui asked Yun, "What if the mission teams don't truly accept the Uchiha clan after the security forces are gone?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "In fact, the Uchiha have always been the most emotional clan. The power of the Sharingan is about understanding love and losing love. You should understand this best, Shisui."

"Proud yet valuing bonds, that's the Uchiha. When becoming a ninja means there's no path back to the police force, over time, bonds are formed."

"I believe Itachi can understand this now as well."

……

Chapter 58: The Fourth Generation Has Made a Decision

"That's true."

Itachi nodded and replied, "Because of a mission last time, Tenma, Kokoro, and Minazuki-sensei have all become people I value."

Yun smiled and continued, "After Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, made the suggestion, it became a given that each Konoha ninja team would have at least one female member. And the Uchiha..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shisui scratched his head and laughed, making Itachi, who was standing to the side, feel somewhat embarrassed.

The Uchiha clan is known for its beautiful members; even those with average looks can become very popular due to their exceptional talent during their time at the Ninja Academy.

This means that at least one person in the team will most likely speak up for them.

……

As night fell, before parting ways, Itachi turned back to look at his two clansmen who were like older brothers to him.

"I will be taking leave from the clan meeting the day after tomorrow, so please take me with you."

Itachi's eyes were filled with determination, and Shisui glanced at the clouds beside him.

"call……"

Yun exhaled and replied, "Actually, right now, the biggest threat to the Uchiha has disappeared due to an accident. With only three tomoe, you won't be of much use after the event."

"Take him with you!"

Ok?

Yun turned to look at Shisui, who looked at Itachi and smiled, "Actually, the Third Hokage was right about some of what he said the other night. We need to trust our juniors too! Just like I've always trusted you, Yun..."

After she finished speaking, Yun did not refute it.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Itachi and said, "Let's do it together the day after tomorrow, but let me make this clear first, if we fight, I won't have time to protect you."

Itachi smiled and shook his head: "No need."

……

Above Shadow Rock.

"What opportunities are we waiting for regarding the Hyuga side?"

In the silent night, Yun replied, "Do you still remember what Uzumaki Sora said that day? Kirigakure used the Byakugan very well, and it seems that Yungakure also has some plans."

Hidden in the clouds?

Shisui paused, then asked, "Is it not just to threaten Hyuga?"

Yun shook his head: "I can't be sure, but I learned two things from Tokuma. First, the current head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, has a branch family brother, Hyuga Hizashi. And Hyuga Hiashi seems to value this younger brother very much."

"The Hyuga branch family members are marked with the Caged Bird Seal from a young age, and their lives are in the hands of the main family. When the seal is fully activated, the Byakugan will be destroyed automatically."

Shisui thought for a moment and said, "If Kumogakure really wants to steal the Byakugan, then the only possibility is to target the main clan. But the main clan members... rarely leave the village."

In an instant, Shisui had figured out many things.

But Yun looked at him and said, "You've been by the Fourth Hokage's side all this time, so you must have gotten some information recently, right? Whether you tell him or not is up to you, but opportunities to keep Hyuga tied up like this are rare."

The words were ambiguous, but Shisui could understand them.

More than a year ago, it was reported that the Hidden Cloud Village wanted to form an alliance with the Hidden Leaf Village.

However, this information has never been confirmed, as no one has been officially sent to inform them. And what Shisui has now received from Yun is merely a guess.

"Things are not urgent yet. Your most important task now is the clan meeting the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, Yun waved his hand and instantly disappeared from Shadow Rock.

Meanwhile, Shisui covered his eyes with his hands. That ability could be used again.

……

Under the cover of night, Uzumaki Sora, in his clone form, looked solemnly at the scroll in his hand.
