Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Upon hearing this, Itachi remained silent for a moment.

Then he looked at Sasuke and asked, "How do you think the power of Fire Release compares to Amaterasu?"

Sasuke shook his head: "There's no comparison. Amaterasu, which is almost instantaneous when aimed at with the line of sight, possesses a flame that will never go out until it has completely burned its contents..."

"In terms of both activation speed and power, there's no comparison. However, Amaterasu places a heavy burden on the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

Sasuke choked for a moment at this point, then swallowed the rest of his words.

He understood his brother's purpose, and he still wanted to persuade himself to accept his eyes.

Itachi smiled and reached out to pat Sasuke's head, but Sasuke dodged the gesture by turning his head away.

"I... am not a child anymore."

Sasuke muttered something and turned his head away.

Itachi, however, withdrew his hand without taking it seriously.

"The Joint Chunin Exams aren't important, at least not to Yun. What matters to him is the level that Team 7 can reach in the future."

"Team 7 will definitely be targeted by all the genin participating in the assessment, and some villages may even send in chunin or jonin. You may lose, but you will definitely not be in mortal danger."

"No one would dare to do this, not even the combined forces of the four great ninja villages. You are disciples of the Cloud Sect, and more importantly, the future of the Hokage, the Uchiha, and the Hyuga..."

Sasuke paused for a moment, then replied, "Wouldn't that be bad for us as we grow up?"

Itachi replied, "Haven't you grown a bit from those two missions outside the village? You've experienced life and death, but it's definitely not about sealing off a part of your abilities to fight a battle."

"Team 7 is very strong. Your Mangekyou Sharingan and Naruto's Nine-Tails Mode, plus the power Hinata is gradually mastering... Who do you think are the enemies who could force you to face life and death?"

These words silenced Sasuke.

Aside from the Akatsuki and Obito Uchiha's side, only the Kage from the four major ninja villages still has a chance.

No matter how experienced a Jonin is, they'll be finished off by a single Tailed Beast Ball. If it's a super-sized one, they might not even be able to escape the attack range.

After a long while, Itachi sighed.

Why won't you accept my eyes?

Sasuke lowered his head: "I can't accept your eyes for the sake of power. Even if... even if your eyesight deteriorates significantly, I still won't agree."

Itachi replied, "I am not blind. After Root was destroyed by Uzumaki Sora, the few pairs of three-tomoe eyes that survived were returned to Shisui by the Hokage at that time. I can replace them with the eyes of my clansmen and continue to fight for them."

"You are the same. After inheriting my eyes, you also possess a portion of my power in your Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. With this power, you can better protect the village and the Uchiha clan..."

Sasuke reached out and plucked a blade of grass from the ground, then pulled out the core and bit the root in his mouth.

"You know about Brother Yun's illusion during the graduation exam, right?"

Itachi nodded: "You are my younger brother, and Yun would definitely need my permission to do that, so I read the script beforehand."

Sasuke replied, "I'm willing to do anything for power, even slaughter my entire clan. Although it was just a genjutsu, I really wanted to... really wanted to kill you with my own hands at that time."

“I’m afraid… afraid that if I accept your eyes, one day I will become like you in the illusion, resorting to any means to gain greater power.”

At this point, Sasuke gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Actually, I almost fell into darkness many times when I was a child. I even secretly vowed to take revenge on Naruto when I grew up because his birth made me lose a clan leader father."

Itachi paused for a moment, but did not interrupt Sasuke.

"At that time, I didn't understand many things. I was indignant because I saw my mother's fear and trepidation towards the Hokage. I also had a father who was the head of the Uchiha clan."

"As for why I changed, it's because I later learned to think, and there's also Naruto's constant nagging every day."

Sasuke then looked at Itachi and said, "Father wasn't a qualified clan leader, was he? If it weren't for Shisui and Kumo, the Uchiha clan wouldn't be where they are today."

"call……"

After exhaling, Sasuke seemed to relax as well.

"Actually, isn't this fine enough? Both of them have the Mangekyou Sharingan, and their power is sufficient. The Uchiha clan has Brother Yun, and Konoha also has Brother Yun..."

"That bastard Naruto, by the time he becomes the Sixth Hokage, Hinata will probably have already mastered the power within her. Plus, with that smart guy Shikamaru around... it doesn't seem so bad for me to just coast along."

A gentle breeze swept by, causing the trees on the back hill to rustle.

Because of the existence of the cloud, Sasuke's fate was changed far too much. Although Fugaku died young, Sasuke was still too young to remember anything at that time.

By the time he was old enough to remember things, Itachi had taken on the role of his father in his life.

The family grew stronger and stronger. His mother and brother were still alive, he had a childhood friend and brother, and he had the number one teacher in the ninja world.

His life experiences, which are completely different from those in the original work, have also given him a completely different personality.

But the biggest reason for this is that he doesn't want to accept Itachi's eyes.

At this moment, Itachi also fell silent.

According to information about Obito Uchiha's deal, the world is not as peaceful as it seems now.

The five great ninja villages have maintained peace because of the existence of the Cloud Village, but now the level of ninja villages is no longer significant.

The Sage of Six Paths, the Goddess of the Rabbit, the Otsutsuki Clan, the Enemy of Gods...

These legendary beings are gradually revealing themselves. If Shikaku's guess at that time was true, then Sasuke and the others will face more than just Uzumaki Sora in the future.

Yun has always placed extraordinary importance on Team 7, even though the power within Hinata Hyuga is not the end goal for him.

Perhaps the clouds sensed something...

"Sasuke."

"Ok?"

Itachi's gaze gradually turned serious: "Although Team 7 is special, you are only thirteen years old after all, so there is a lot of important information that you do not know."

"Why do you think Yun wants you to grow up as quickly as possible? And why did he specifically ask you to train with me for this period of time?"

Sasuke frowned slightly.

Itachi then continued, "The future enemy is powerful, and Team 7 is special. These are Yun's words."

"If one day in the future, the world faces destruction because of you, then all regrets will be in vain."

"You didn't take my eyes for power, but for the future of this world, I'm giving you these eyes that were already nearly blind, so that we can use our combined strength to protect the village and the Uchiha clan..."

Sasuke remained silent for a long time.

"Are there even stronger enemies? If even Brother Lianyun can't handle it, what can Class Seven do?"

Itachi replied, "The Cloud's bloodline reversion is not limited to the Uchiha; his potential may even surpass that of the Sage of Six Paths. The fact that he values ​​your growth is enough to prove it."

"Many things, including our own, are just guesses, but all the clues point to the place we least want to see."

……

One week later, the first round of the Joint Chunin Exams took place.

Ninja Academy.

"Li, can you please stop shaking?"

"what?"

Xiao Li looked at Tian Tian and said, "Am I shaking? I'm not shaking, I'm just excited!"

Tian Tian rolled her eyes at him: "The first exam is usually a written test. You trained until midnight yesterday, so there's no use being nervous now."

Neji looked around, wondering if Lady Hinata had arrived yet.

Hinata-sama's grades will be fine for the first exam, but the biggest problem for Team 7 is the second exam: wilderness survival and teamwork.

According to what we've heard in the clan these past few days, these guys from the surrounding villages are all bastards planning to besiege Lady Hinata!

"Oh? You guys are also participating in this Chunin Exams? You should be a year older than us, right?"

Karin looked at Lee and said with a strange smile, "I heard you beat up Sasuke because of Sakura? But Sakura is such a looks-obsessed person, she definitely wouldn't like you, your eyebrows are too thick."

These words instantly made Xiao Li feel dejected.

Neji frowned slightly and looked at the three of them, saying, "Aburame, Inuzuka, and Uzumaki, you guys should be the reconnaissance team for this year's freshmen, right? If you're going to be so high-profile, be careful you don't get eliminated in the second round..."

With his fist raised, he glared and said, "What are you saying, you bastard? Ever since we came in, you've been rolling your eyes at me. Are you looking down on me?"

"Let me tell you! My sister is..."

Before she could finish speaking, Karin reached out and twisted it back.

"Can you please stop being so ignorant? He's from the Hyuga clan, and his eyes are naturally like that, just like Hinata's."

"Huh?"

"Also, he is Hinata's cousin."

"What?!"

Neji looked at Kiba with disdain: "The Chunin Exams don't care whose brother you are. If you don't have the strength, you'd better quit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Neji turned around and went upstairs with Lee and Tenten.

These three are just a reconnaissance squad, so there's no need to pay special attention to them. Although that bastard is a bit unreliable, he's still quite capable.

Was he looking down on me with that look just now?

"Undoubtedly, that's the case."

"Huh? Shino, how long have you been here?"

"It's always been here."

"Then why didn't you speak up for me just now?"

……

Amid the noise, another group of people entered through the door.

Gaara looked around.

Hasn't it arrived yet?

Temari, standing nearby, also looked around and then whispered, "It seems that special people always arrive last to show their status, but judging from the situation, everyone is waiting for them."

Gaara replied, "Let's go upstairs. There's no point in touching the first exam."

Just then, the commotion at the door made them stop in their tracks.
