Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

The power of the secret scrolls involves the rules of this world. If there really are Otsutsuki aliens besides Kaguya, perhaps the secret scrolls are the only power that can truly contend with them.

This is also why Jiraiya was invited back to teach Naruto, and Kakashi to teach Sasuke.

“Naruto, sit here and wait a bit. You know the teacher I found for you; he’s that sleazy old man with the oily headband.”

"Huh?"

"What do you mean, 'huh'? Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, used to be your dad's teacher. And this surprise training for you wasn't conducted in Konoha. You'll find out soon enough."

After saying that, Uchiha Yun grabbed Hinata and disappeared instantly, leaving Naruto alone to wait in the same spot.

……

Training Ground 7.

Looking at Hinata in front of him, Yun thought for a moment and said, "The basic training of the Hyuga clan is the same training that Tokuma once conducted, which is to start with the enemy's hand seals and to anticipate the enemy's moves the instant the links start to move."

"But I don't think this training will be very useful for you. In fact, the Chunin Exams are not the most important thing for you."

Hinata was silent for a moment before asking, "Teacher, what Team 7 should really be doing is to fully master their own power, right?"

Nodding, Yun said, "Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan puts too much strain on his eyes, and you haven't yet been able to fully control the special power within you..."

"As for Naruto... even if the Nine-Tails' power is only half of his body, it is still worlds apart from that of other tailed beasts. Even with the physique of the Uzumaki clan, he still needs to grow. Sage Mode is indispensable for him."

"So for the rest of the time, you will spend the morning practicing basic combat against my shadow clones, and in the afternoon I will teach you a new way to use your ability."

……

"Why hasn't the lecherous immortal arrived yet?"

"Is he spying on me again?"

"Should we go look for it?"

"But what if we miss it? Wouldn't the special training be ruined..."

Naruto waited from morning until noon, when the sun was already high in the sky, before he finally caught sight of a lewd figure.

Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?

"Well... I've lost my way in life."

Seeing Jiraiya's profound expression, Naruto sniffed and replied, "You probably forgot your drinking capacity at the dinner table, didn't you? How much did you drink yesterday?"

Jiraiya sniffed it too, but there was no smell...

"Alright, alright, let's go fill our stomachs first, and then we'll officially begin our cultivation."

Naruto said impatiently, "Let's start training first. We've been waiting all morning. Let's eat something and the day will be over. Who knows if you'll be here at this time tomorrow too?"

"you sure?"

Jiraiya smiled wryly. Anyway, he had brought some food with him. If Naruto could adapt to the food at Mount Myōboku, insects would be a good source of protein.

……

Hokage Building.

Minato glanced at the message that the ninja hawk had just sent back, put it down, and chuckled, "The first exam isn't until half a month later, but the representatives from the four great ninja villages are almost here. It seems the daimyo's territories of the various major powers are putting pressure on us..."

Shikaku replied, "It's the same in the Land of Fire. After going there last time, it was only with great difficulty that we managed to appease the daimyo."

"Furthermore, neither Sunagakure nor Kumogakure has chosen a new Kage this time, so the higher-ups of the two villages must be vying for power, and Konoha's attitude has become a key factor."

Minato smiled and said, "It's not the Daimyo of Daimyo Prefecture, but Konoha's attitude has become the key to their power struggle. This is truly the first time something like this has happened."

At this point, Minato hesitated for a moment and asked, "Should we tell them about your guess?"

After a long pause, Shikaku shook his head slightly: "It's just a guess. The existence of Akatsuki and Uzumaki Sora has always been oppressive to them. If we tell them another guess, I'm worried they won't be able to withstand the pressure."

"Regarding the enemy that the Goddess of Rabbit is also worried about and preparing for, we are just speculating, and there is no evidence whatsoever."

"And even if we have evidence, it's better not to release it to them at this time. Thousands of years have passed, and even if it really exists, we don't know how long it would take them to arrive."

Minato nodded and accepted the proposal.

After a long while, he stood up again and looked in the direction of the memorial monument.

"Obito... didn't do anything else, did he?"

……

Chapter 336: Obito and Kushina

Minato had mixed feelings about Obito's potential return.

Thirteen years ago, according to the information Uzumaki Sora had at that time, if the Nine-Tails had really been released, Kushina and I would have died, and Konoha would have suffered heavy losses.

After this, the Third Hokage once again assumed the position. However, his ideals were completely different from those of Kumo, which led to Konoha and the Uchiha clan becoming adversaries.

At that time, Obito wanted to destroy Konoha, and he didn't even hesitate to do so to Kushina, who had always been kind to him.

But what caused all of this was his own failure to arrive in time to rescue them. Bringing all his students back safely is the responsibility of every Jonin instructor…

At that time, Itachi agreed to stay, and the main reason for that was largely due to himself.

The passing of the torch between the old and new Hokage... the village and the Uchiha clan were more important to him than revenge.

“Although he didn’t kill Fugaku, he was the one who caused everything thirteen years ago. If he makes any more moves, I won’t have anything to say if Yun takes action.”

Minato sighed, "He can't capture the Nine-Tails' power in a short time. Let the Anbu keep an eye on Shukaku. Even though it's only a part of it, it can still serve as a substitute for the Nine-Tails."

Shikaku nodded: "It was arranged a week ago. Apart from being chased and beaten by Class 7, there's nothing else to worry about this week."

Being chased and beaten by Class 7?

Minato frowned and then relaxed: "Team 7 won't be his target. Although Team 7 has no way to counter Hollowfication, he definitely can't kill them instantly in a short time."

Minato smiled and shook his head: "Precautions are necessary, but if he really gives up Infinite Tsukuyomi, that would be a good thing."

Shikaku thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, I don't think he has any reason to change his mind now. It was my arrangement to have the Anbu keep an eye on Shukaku, but I don't really suspect what the other party might do."

"After the truth about the Infinite Tsukuyomi came to light, this information has now been fully integrated with what we had in the past. Just like what Yun asked that time: If the Infinite Tsukuyomi can truly bring about lasting peace, then why didn't the Sage of Six Paths complete it himself?"

"Now we know the result: the stone tablet may indeed have been left by the Sage of Six Paths, but its contents were altered by Black Zetsu, who has lived for thousands of years. The true purpose of Infinite Tsukuyomi is to kill everyone and release the sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"All the information can be smoothly connected, and the authenticity of this information is already somewhat confirmed. In this way, Obito no longer has the option to backtrack..."

As he spoke, Lu Jiu took out a file.

“After confirming that the masked man was Obito, I specifically gathered information about him. An Uchiha who helped the elderly in the village every day when he was young, even though his personality changed drastically because of the death of his bond, his true nature remained…”

"Peace in the ninja world. Having experienced the Third Shinobi World War, he hates war because Rin Nohara died because of it. Under these circumstances, the fact that the Infinite Tsukuyomi is a fake peace has been exposed, so there's naturally not much to worry about."

"Of course, if the Hokage wishes to do anything, that is also permissible."

After saying that, Shikaku turned and left the office. With the Joint Chunin Exams approaching, he still had many things to do.

Meanwhile, Minato, standing by the window, was staring blankly in the direction of the memorial monument. He had always been a gentle person; back in the ninja academy, Kushina would even call him Little Sun.

Back then, Naruto wasn't around yet, and the disciples... were sometimes just kids.

"Shh!"

A golden flash disappeared in an instant, and Minato vanished from the spot.

……

"I am back!"

The sound of water startled Kushina, who was still busy folding clothes.

He then stood up and looked at Minato with a puzzled expression: "You're back before it's even dark? Didn't I hear the Joint Chunin Exams are about to start? Why are you so free?"

Minato scratched his head and smiled, "It's not that there's nothing wrong, there's just something I wanted to tell you."

???

Kushina tilted her head, circled Minato, and sniffed: "There's no perfume scent either. What have you done wrong? Tell me, I'm listening."

Minato gave a wry smile: "I didn't start with Jiraiya, how could I..."

Kushina teased, "That's hard to say. Jiraiya-sensei came back yesterday, and the Women's Federation has put all the bathhouses on high alert. If they catch him, they'll send him straight to the hospital."

Minato was taken aback: "Why are you taking him to the hospital?"

Kushina, hands on her hips, replied, "Because Lady Tsunade is at Konoha Hospital! Lady Tsunade is the current president of the Women's Federation, and she said that if we catch her, we'll break all her bones first, and then break them again after we've healed her!"

"hiss……"

Minato shuddered. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to remind Jiraiya-sensei, otherwise he might really get beaten to death.

"By the way, what do you want to tell me?"

"Um……"

Minato hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Kushina was about to lose her temper, he could only say, "Obito is back."

???

As soon as she finished speaking, Kushina froze on the spot.

Kushina still vividly remembers the scenes from Obito's past.

That child's parents died in battle very early, and he was raised by his grandmother, but he was not much better off than Kakashi. However, compared to Kakashi, his naturally optimistic attitude was very endearing.

I remember Minato mentioning during a mission that there wasn't a single elderly person in the entire village that the child didn't know.

The reason he was able to do this was because he voluntarily helped the elderly in the village every day.

Optimistic, positive, ambitious, and never giving up—even though he wasn't as talented as Kakashi, Kushina liked him more than Kakashi did.

Yet this child is the same person who tried to kill him thirteen years ago and unleash the Nine-Tails to destroy Konoha.

"call……"

After sighing, Kushina looked at Minato and asked, "Was he captured by the Clouds? Can I go see the child?"

Uh……

Minato hesitated before replying, "He wasn't captured; he came to Konoha on his own. He traded crucial information for the right to return to Konoha."

???

As soon as she finished speaking, Kushina put down her clothes and walked towards the entrance.
