Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Minato glanced at Obito, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Although he is an enemy, he can still be trusted because of the contract binding him when trading information."

"That's why Yun attaches great importance to Team 7. It was Yun who sent a message to bring Jiraiya back, and Jiraiya also guided Naruto's special training before the Chunin Exams."

Obito, who was standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought before his gaze fell on the table.

"It seems your cooking skills are really amazing, Mrs. Chef!"

Kushina, hands on her hips, grinned broadly: "How about it? Isn't it much better than back then?"

Obito nodded: "It tasted good back then, and it still looks delicious now! Looks like I can come here for a free meal every day from now on."

Kushina smiled and replied, "I thought I'd come over when it's mealtime. Kakashi would rather cook than come over; he always has a cold face, I don't know what he's thinking."

Obito glanced at Kakashi and said disdainfully, "What's the use of reflecting on your mistakes? A guy like that should go hungry."

Kakashi, who had been sitting down, replied calmly, "Remember to pay for the house construction. After all, getting the ANBU captain involved isn't cheap."

These words startled Kushina.

"Isn't Obito's old house still there? Is the wooden house over at the memorial a new house?"

Minato sighed: "Not many people in the village know Obito's true identity yet. People from the other four great ninja villages will also be here for the Chunin Exams. If he is discovered, it will be difficult for Konoha to explain."

At this moment, Obito said, "From today onwards, I will be called Tobi. I'll save the name Uchiha Obito for when I can use it later."

Upon hearing this, Kushina had already served the rice and placed it in front of the group before sitting back down.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said, "The Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure and the Fifth Raikage of Kumogakure died recently. They must hate you right now..."

"Next time... I'll have to keep my identity hidden."

⊙_⊙×3

Obito scratched his head and replied, "There probably won't be a next time. Infinite Tsukuyomi is no longer my goal. Now, I just want to guard that memorial stone."

Obito then looked at Minato and said, "Minato-sensei, I know that Konoha will not trust me for the time being, but please be careful of Black Zetsu."

"Although all nine tailed beasts are currently safe except for the three that have already been captured, that guy who has lived for thousands of years will definitely not give up."

"For thousands of years, no one knows what kind of backup plan they have. And given their familiarity with the Uchiha clan and their understanding of the Infinite Tsukuyomi..."

"According to the information provided by Uzumaki Sora, it is the will of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, so it is very likely that it inherited a portion of Kaguya's memories. We don't know what will happen thousands of years later in these memories..."

After he finished speaking, Minato remained silent for a moment.

Kakashi, who was standing nearby, replied, "No matter what, you'd better not move. Yun doesn't have a good impression of you for some reason, and he might really kill you if you're not careful."

Minato waved his hand: "I'll talk to Yun about it, although I don't have a position to take."

After sighing, Minato gave a self-deprecating laugh.

“I didn’t like the way the Third Generation Lord did things before, but now that this kind of thing has happened to me, I can understand his feelings.”

At this point, Minato looked at Obito: "The reason you were able to stay is because of that information. This is the reason I've been telling myself, and it's also the reason I insisted on protecting you..."

"Obito, you've been through so much, you should understand the meaning of those words."

Obito nodded and said nothing more.

"Can we not talk about these things?"

Kushina frowned, and then the atmosphere at the table returned to its original state.

Long-lost best friends who love to bicker, and a pair of elders who can only try to persuade each other not to fight.

It was very late when Naruto walked into his house, completely exhausted.

Looking at the pile of leftovers, his eyes lit up with a green light; he was starving!

"Mom, I'm hungry!!"

……

three days later.

Konoha, Hokage Building.

In recent years, the Five Kage Summit has been held more and more frequently, and Konoha seems to be getting more and more used to it.

Onoki disliked this habit, but he had no choice but to accept it.

The old man glanced in the direction of Sunagakure, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

The representatives from Sunagakure this time are a bit outrageous: a Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast who is only a teenager, along with his older brother and sister, and finally, Maki, the former bodyguard of the Fourth Kazekage...

The relationship between the One-Tailed Jinchuriki and Uchiha Kumo is not a secret within the intelligence systems of the four great ninja villages, indicating that Sunagakure has already made its decision.

"The Fourth Kazekage is dead, and Sunagakure hasn't chosen a Fifth Kazekage yet? In this situation, wouldn't it be appropriate to let that old woman Chiyo take charge?"

Onoki looked at Gaara: "Excuse me for speaking frankly, it is indeed a bit hasty for someone of his age to represent a village at the Five Kage Summit."

Upon hearing this, Gaara looked over and said, "If they had attacked Iwagakure last time, I'm afraid the Third Tsuchikage wouldn't have said that, right?"

Onoki frowned slightly: "I was referring to your attitude. The Five Kage Summit requires a fair attitude, which I don't think you have."

At this moment, Killer Bee, representing the Hidden Cloud Village, spoke up.

"No matter what attitude he takes, what can the Tsuchikage change? In the current situation, what the Allied Shinobi Forces need is to unite and fight against the Akatsuki and Obito Uchiha."

The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, nodded and looked at Onoki: "I've always heard that the Tsuchikage likes to plan before acting, but the danger we face now is unavoidable, so..."

Onoki narrowed his eyes, making his already small eyes appear even smaller.

"So it has to be like this? Like this..."

"squeak……"

The sound of the door being pushed open made Onoki swallow back what he was about to say, because those eyes were now staring at him with amusement.

"The Third Tsuchikage seemed to have something left unsaid? It's alright, we apologize for the interruption, but you may continue."

Onoki frowned and sat down again.

Often, we have no choice but to back down, because if we don't, we'll only face certain death. But if we keep backing down, it will inevitably lead to the other party taking further steps without any scruples.

Just like now, for more than three years, Konoha has always taken the initiative in the Chunin Exams and the Five Kage Summit, and over time it has even become a habit.

Minato glared at Yun in front of the others, then sat down in the Hokage's seat.

"I'm sure you've all received countless urgings from the Daimyo's office. I've been so busy lately that I'm even thinking of stepping down as Hokage and letting Kumo experience it."

“It’s not easy to bear the title of Kage. This guy is currently just a Jonin instructor, and he has a very easy life every day.”

These words immediately silenced the members of the four great ninja villages.

Compared to Minato, none of them wanted Kumo to become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, because they would be even more afraid of that.

After a long while, Onoki looked at Minato and said, "The Hokage is still very young. I remember the Third Hokage was quite old when he retired. You can serve for at least another twenty years."

Minato shook his head slightly: "Lord Tsuchikage has always been in excellent health; I can't compare."

Minato then looked at the group and said, "The purpose of holding this Five Kage Summit under the guise of the Chunin Exams is to further improve the defenses of each village."

"As you all know, the enemy used the power of the Impure World Reincarnation to inflict heavy losses on Sunagakure and Kumogakure without even showing their face."

"Because the attacks are simultaneous, we can only choose to support one side first. The Sand Village is much weaker than the Cloud Village, so we chose to support the Sand Village first."

"In this situation, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was killed, and the Fifth Raikage used a forbidden technique to protect Kumogakure at the cost of his own life. So even the Flying Thunder God Technique is not invincible."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present began to ponder.

After a long pause, a resolute glint flashed in Killer Bee's eyes: "Kumogakure will follow Konoha's methods completely and will fully cooperate with Konoha. It's not impossible that we will even leave the Two-Tails Jinchuriki in Konoha."

These words startled Onoki and the others.

However, the next moment, Gaara also said, "The Land of Wind is located on the border of Konoha and has been allied with it for a long time. We also obey Konoha's orders."

Onoki clenched his hands tightly under the table. Had it already been two villages?

Like Sunagakure and Kumogakure, Sunagakure had no Kage, but Gaara, like Killer Bee, took on the role of representative and went directly to Konoha.

In this way, whatever decisions Iwagakure and Kirigakure make seem somewhat superfluous.

Minato looked at Onoki: "The First Hokage and Madara Uchiha's Impure World Reincarnation has been sealed by the Cloud, which means that the next time the opponent uses Impure World Reincarnation, there will be no more of these two terrifying powers."

"However, the people of Daming Prefecture won't be thinking about these things. I'm sure their scrolls are already piled up with requests for help, right?"

"In this situation, my suggestion is to expand the joint search force. We need the locations of both Obito Uchiha and Sora Uzumaki from Akatsuki."

Ōnoki sighed and looked at Minato: "With Uzumaki Ku in the enemy's possession, and given that ability to foresee the future, any targeted measures we take are meaningless."

"The last time we attacked Amegakure, they simply abandoned the entire village and disappeared without a trace."

As he spoke, Onoki looked at Sunagakure and Kumogakure: "What Obito Uchiha needs are tailed beasts. This time, the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha cannot be resurrected by the enemy using Edo Tensei. This is the only good news."

"In that case, given the top combat strength on Obito's side, it's not impossible for Konoha to send reinforcements one by one."

After saying this, Uchiha Yun stared intently at Onoki.

This old man seemed particularly active at this Five Shadows meeting.

It seems that under the pressure from Konoha, this old man is almost at his breaking point. If he doesn't take the initiative soon, he fears he will lose it forever.

This confrontation with Team 7 seems to be orchestrated by him to form an encirclement, as if he wants to tell everyone that only by uniting can they contend with the current state of Konoha.

Yun smiled.

The time is almost up...

……

Chapter 338: The Strongest Secret Scroll

The Five Kage Summit before the Joint Chunin Exams concluded with a performance by the Third Tsuchikage.

Minato did not stop them, because in his view, such actions were nothing more than a desperate struggle.

He has never pressured the four great ninja villages too much, but when Kumo becomes the Fifth Hokage, they probably won't give speeches like this anymore.

……

After the Five Kage Summit, the precautions against Obito Uchiha were resolved because Uchiha Kumo sealed the reanimated versions of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha.

However, the Akatsuki organization has not come up with a plan for the assassination attempts against the daimyo of various countries.

In fact, there are gaps between the two pieces of jade, Shadow and Great Name.
