Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"S-Senior also knows Wood Release?"

A was somewhat puzzled. If he remembered correctly, he was the only one who survived the Root's human experiments on Wood Release.

Obito leaned closer with a sly smile: "My Wood Release isn't as advanced as yours. It can only pierce the enemy's body and then bloom in all directions. That's quite a sight to behold."

These words made A shudder.

Obito chuckled twice, then patted Kakashi on the shoulder: "That's really terrifying power... If your Wood Release could reach the level of the First Hokage, Kakashi would have to call you senpai."

"How about we teach this arrogant guy a lesson together?"

Just as A was about to say something, he was interrupted by Kakashi.

"Your room has been prepared for you. I hope you won't do anything unnecessary. Whether it's Naruto or Sasuke, Yun will be there for them immediately if they encounter danger."

Kakashi then took the armor with him, and as for threats, Obito just pursed his lips.

Once he understood everything, Obito was able to see another side of many things.

Rather than a threat, he was more worried that this bond, which had already achieved the best possible outcome, would one day become an enemy again and be killed outright.

"Still as arrogant as ever... Kakashi."

The Infinite Tsukuyomi cannot change this world; it will only lead to its utter destruction. But the ultimate peace that Uchiha Kumo spoke of gave him a glimpse of what a new world might look like…

Changing the world...maybe it really is possible.

……

BBQ shop.

Uchiha Izumi handed three forms to her students: "These are the application forms for the Chunin Exams. I have already recommended you to participate in this Chunin Exams."

(丿○Д○)丿×3

The new generation of pig-deer-butterflies were all stunned.

After a long pause, Shikamaru finally asked, "Aren't Naruto's team participating in this Chunin Exams? Given their personalities, it's unlikely they'd do it, right?"

Izumi smiled and shook his head: "They will participate. After all, genin can only perform low-level missions. Fresh out of school, genin full of energy will not give up such an opportunity."

"what?"

Ino scratched her head: "If those three monsters from Class 7 all participate, we have absolutely no chance of winning!"

Choji, standing nearby, also lost interest in the grilled meat in his hand: "How about we just surrender? Let Naruto and Sasuke lead the way?"

Ino was taken aback by these words, then clapped her hands: "How come I didn't think of this? We're all classmates from the same class. You two get along well with Naruto and the others, and the teacher is also Brother Yun's sister. We can make some connections!"

"That's impossible."

Shikamaru shook his head slightly: "With the strength of Team 7, plus Hinata's Byakugan's reconnaissance capabilities, if they want to achieve maximum deterrence and ensure they become Chunin, their first choice is to go through alone!"

Passing through alone?

Does this mean eating alone?

Can you please not go so far?

With a furrowed brow, Ino's spirits waned again. She complained, "With their freakish power, they should be able to apply for the Jonin Exams right away, right? What's the point of playing the Chunin Exams..."

Shikamaru looked at Izumi Uchiha, thought for a moment, and then handed the three forms back.

"If what the higher-ups need is to intimidate the various ninja villages again, then there is no point in us participating this time."

"As is customary, the second exam should be a team task with classes as teams. Class 7 will not let any team pass. In fact, the third exam is meaningless; it will only be a duel between Class 7 itself."

Uchiha Izumi pressed down on the application form, tapped the table, and laughed, "Thanks to my tireless efforts, your teacher, my brother has agreed to seal away a portion of Team 7's abilities!"

"Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan cannot be used, Naruto's Nine-Tails cannot be used either, and Hinata's special power will also be sealed."

Then Izumi looked up at Shikamaru and asked, "How about it? Can you fight?"

Upon hearing this news, Shikamaru fell into deep thought for a moment.

He was analyzing the other things contained in this intelligence. First of all, this request could not possibly be the result of Izumi-sensei's efforts, but more likely the result of a request from a Jonin instructor from another class, or even from another ninja village.

So their target... must be Class 7, and Brother Yun has agreed.

"Snapped."

He reached out and pressed down on the application form, then took it back and handed it to Ino and Choji.

"There is a lot of room for maneuver, so we can give it a try."

Ino stared blankly at the form in her hand: "We've only graduated less than a year ago... Shikamaru, aren't you going to reconsider? Isn't it a bit too early?"

A slightly flustered Choji looked at the grilled meat in front of him but had no appetite: "I don't want to fight... I don't know how to fight... Isn't it nice to pull weeds and pick up trash?"

Shikamaru glanced at his two teammates.

"As the strongest ninja in the world, Brother Yun wouldn't marry a weakling, otherwise wouldn't someone exploit his weakness?"

"Ino? Do you want to become Brother Yun's weakness?"

Ino pouted and thought for a while, then finally slammed her hand on the table: "I've decided! Tomorrow, Dad will start the hellish training! For love, I must bloom with all my might..."

Shikamaru nodded and then looked at Choji: "The task of pulling weeds and picking up trash isn't enough to buy you barbecue. If you don't have money, Choji, you'll only be able to eat vegetables from now on."

vegetable?

After shaking his head violently, Choji's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"call……"

Relieved, Shikamaru asked the barbecue restaurant owner for a pen, filled out the form, and handed it to Uchiha Izumi.

He then said, "If there is absolutely no chance of winning, the various ninja villages may simply not participate. But if there is a chance of winning, they will inevitably unite, a tacit alliance."

"With the Seventh Squad under siege and most of their power sealed, the chances of them completing the mission alone are slim, so they also need to be flexible."

“Naruto will come looking for us, and maybe the other teams from this term as well. He’s not stupid; he should know what Team 7 will face in the second exam.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Uchiha Izumi asked in confusion, "Team 7 will team up with other teams? But how will the trust issue be resolved?"

Shikamaru smiled and said, "That's why I said they're just classmates from our class. Naruto and Sasuke, the genin from other ninja villages, won't trust them."

"To ensure fairness, other candidates from Konoha may also be eliminated, but if all those who pass the second round are from Konoha, then it will also serve as a deterrent."

After some analysis, Izumi couldn't help but stare at Shikamaru's high hairline and forehead for a long time.

"Teacher Quan, what are you looking at?"

"I wonder how your brain works. You can analyze so much from just a little bit of information..."

The little nine-tailed fox, who was gulping down its drink, put down its bottle and said, "That's why I always say there's not a single good person in the Nara family; they're all utterly wicked."

The voice of the Nine-Tails immediately attracted Shikamaru's attention.

Stared at by those eyes, Little Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly felt that the wine in her hand no longer tasted good.

You should know that the kid in front of you is surnamed Nara, the kind of Nara that means "wicked and wicked."

"Why...why are you staring at me, you brat?"

Shikamaru smiled gently upon hearing this, but the smile made Kurama shiver involuntarily.

"Let me tell you, whatever you're thinking, don't even think about it. If you keep staring at me like that, I'll have you chopped off by a big shot!"

Shikamaru ignored the threat and instead looked at Uchiha Izumi, asking, "Sensei, I remember that the Nine-Tails registered... as a ninja beast?"

Quan paused for a moment, then clapped his hands: "That's right! How come I didn't think of that?!"

Then Izumi also set his sights on the Nine-Tails.

Stared at by two pairs of intense eyes, Little Nine-Tailed suddenly felt that the wine in her hand no longer tasted good.

"boom."

The bottle landed on the table. The Nine-Tailed Fox waved its claws, trying to appear calm: "Just say what you want to say. Staring at me like that is creepy. Or... or should I call Shukaku over for a drink?"

Uchiha Izumi casually waved her hand: "Shukaku isn't registered, so it's useless."

Then Izumi looked at the little nine-tailed fox and said, "How have I treated you these past few years? Have I taken you out for drinks at every gathering? Before this, every time your mom confiscated your money, did I help you out?"

Little Nine-Tailed was stunned by the question and could only nod repeatedly. He was indeed right, as the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding."

"Cough cough!"

"Just say what's on your mind, okay? You're scaring me..."

Izumi smiled shyly and said, "How about I have you, Nine-Tails, participate in the Chunin Exams as a ninja beast alongside Shikamaru and the others?"

Chunin Exams?

A bunch of low-level ninjas, wouldn't my move be a game-changer?

Will blowing up the fishpond... cause trouble for Boss Yun?

While it would be fun to show off, if you get caught by Boss Yun, you might end up getting humiliated instead of showing off.

"Um... I'll think about it."

Upon hearing this, Izumi crossed his arms and casually said, "Next time we have a barbecue dinner, let's bring Lord Shukaku. Compared to foxes, Ino really likes tanuki."

"Sigh... Also, last time Mom put 100,000 taels of money missing from the cabinet. Although Mom herself has forgotten about it, we can't be careless about money being missing. I should remind her when we get back."

"Oh, and one more thing! My brother's jacket from a few years ago was sold by someone, and I heard it fetched quite a bit of money..."

"boom!"

The Nine-Tails plopped down on the table, waved its paws, and said, "Alright, alright... whatever you say. Uchiha Izumi isn't a good person either, she even threatens a fox."

……

One week later, downstream of Konoha Reservoir.

At this moment, Kakashi was watching his three students pick up trash, without taking out his "Make-Out Paradise" book or covering his face with a book to sleep.

"Shh."

A voice suddenly appeared beside him.

"At first, I didn't believe you had become a Jonin instructor, but now it seems you still care about your students..."

Kakashi looked at Jiraiya: "You're back too? It was just the Joint Chunin Exams, who called you back?"

Jiraiya scratched his head: "Kumo sent me back, saying that I need to keep an eye on Naruto's training."
