Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

At this moment, an older man appeared beside the two of them.

Haruto smiled and said, "Then, would you two from Kumogakure like to keep each other company?"

……

Chapter 340: Uchiha Kumo's Conspiracy

"A ninja from Iwagakure? If you're still just a genin at your age, you're not capable of traveling with us."

Karui looked at Chito and said, "Unless you're deliberately keeping your genin rank, or Iwagakure is hiding your records? In that case, we might consider it."

Omoi, who was standing to the side with a lollipop in his mouth, scratched his head without saying a word, but his mind was already racing.

Did this guy from Iwagakure tamper with the files? What if Konoha finds out?

Will that terrifying guy Uchiha Yun just jump out and kill him?

If I stand next to him, will I be mistaken for an accomplice and beaten to death?

The teacher told us to just go along with whatever came up, there's no need to be with this guy, right?

Thinking this, Omoi shifted his body, seemingly wanting to get away from this guy. A slacker should be prepared to be a slacker, even though he himself really wanted to defeat those three guys from Konoha.

"I came to Konoha five years ago to participate in a Chunin Exam. After that, I was always away from the village on missions, so I missed the subsequent Chunin Exams."

Chito shrugged, "As you can see, I'm still just a genin. But speaking of which, last time I faced that master's student again, and I almost won..."

Ok?

Karui was stunned.

The first half of this statement is clearly a sophistry, but the latter part confirms his conjecture.

The teacher said that the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure was the most skilled in conspiracy among the Kage, and the Seventh Team, which was formed by the four major ninja villages against Konoha, was formed under his coordination.

Is this guy from Iwagakure in front of me the face of the Third Tsuchikage?

"Who else did you contact?" Karui asked.

"And there's also Mist Shadow."

Chito smiled and replied, "Five years ago, in the Chunin Exams, Muya from Kirigakure, like me, ultimately failed, but we were also just a little short of success."

"Among the opponents that time, the girl named Uchiha Izumi was not only that person's disciple, but also his younger sister."

"We have found a way to counter the three-tomoe Sharingan. Although the number is small, it can still play a crucial role."

Karui frowned slightly: "What's the attitude of the Sand Village?"

Chito replied, "Sunagakure has declined. You probably know about the Five Kage Summit during the Chunin Exams; Sunagakure's representative was just a thirteen-year-old child, and a Jinchuriki at that..."

"They speak righteously, refuse to return to the Alliance, and want to clash with that Class 7. But in the end, it's just that they're afraid."

Omoi, standing to the side, then spoke up: "Aren't you afraid? If Iwagakure weren't afraid, the Third Tsuchikage would probably have already become restless, wouldn't he?"

These words left Zhi Tu speechless.

A moment of silence fell over the scene.

At this moment, Wu Ye, who had been watching this place, walked over.

"Excuse my rudeness, but I have seen some of the information about you two."

"The Hidden Cloud Village is probably not much better off than the Hidden Sand Village now. The Fourth Raikage died directly at the hands of that person, and the Fifth Raikage died indirectly. There is no need to argue about these two points."

"Your teacher... must be very sad, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people from Yunyin frowned.

Omoi turned the lollipop around: "The teacher is doing well, you don't need to worry about her."

Wu Ye smiled and said, "But I heard that Lord Killer Bee's concert has not been held in Kumogakure for a long time."

For a moment, the two fell silent.

In fact, they knew very well that the other party was right. Since the death of the Fifth Raikage, or rather, since the death of the Fourth Raikage, their teacher had changed a lot.

The rapping that used to come out of his mouth is gone, and he even starts to sit quietly in the Ray Shadow Building, where he can sit for a whole day dealing with official business.

This was something that was simply impossible before.

"The Jinchuriki of Sunagakure received a favor from Konoha. I heard that Sunagakure was invaded more than three years ago. If it weren't for Uchiha Kumo, this Jinchuriki would probably be dead."

"We don't force them, and the same goes for you."

"If you can bear the inability to repay the humiliation inflicted on your teacher, then act on your own. The fact that Iwagakure and Kirigakure are working together doesn't necessarily mean they will fail."

……

In classroom 301 on the third floor of the teaching building, most of the genin who had broken through the two guards had already arrived.

Seating was assigned randomly, but Naruto happened to sit next to Shikamaru.

"There are quite a lot of people..."

Naruto glanced at the classroom door, which led to the stairs from the second floor, where many genin had already passed by.

Shikamaru chimed in, "In order to deal with your four great ninja villages, things will not go as smoothly as before. Even I couldn't defend against that genjutsu downstairs, let alone those guys."

Shikamaru then looked at Naruto and asked, "Why haven't you come to find me yet?"

Naruto scratched his head and chuckled, "How did you know I'd come looking for you? I've been undergoing special training lately, so I haven't had time."

"Fortunately, the first written test went well, so it's not too late to come find you after the first one, is it?"

Shikamaru nodded, accepting the explanation.

After thinking for a moment, he still reminded her, "I deliberately came a little early, and I observed everyone on the first floor beforehand..."

At this point, taking advantage of the teacher's absence, Shikamaru approached Naruto and whispered, "The Ninja Academy system was first proposed by the Second Hokage, and after that, various ninja villages began to imitate it. Therefore, in peacetime, the age at which genin graduate is generally around twelve years old."

"Many genin might not participate in the Chunin Exams in the first year because they are not confident, but they will almost always participate in the second year."

"Most people who participate in the Chunin Exams for the first time will just be there to make up the numbers, but they will almost always advance the second time, even if they lose the third match."

Naruto was stunned: "You can advance even if you lose?"

Shikamaru nudged Naruto's arm: "That's not the important thing. What's important is that I just saw a lot of genin who should be over fifteen years old, and some of them are clearly over eighteen."

"And... two of them were even in the same Chunin Exams as Izumi-sensei five years ago."

"Izumi-sensei, who has always been proud of the Chunin Exams, has mentioned it more than once. Those two were not easy to deal with; they put them under a lot of pressure."

"Five years have passed, and the other side certainly won't stay in the same place forever. We'd better be careful."

Naruto waved his hand casually: "Don't worry, I underwent very intense special training this time, there won't be any problems."

Seeing Naruto's confidence, Shikamaru wanted to say something, but at that moment the person in charge of the first exam walked in.

……

In an office at the ninja academy.

At this moment, Minato was fiddling with the crystal ball in front of him, which displayed the scene of the genin's first exam.

"How did you manage to borrow this thing? That old man treats it like a treasure, and even Jiraiya begged and pleaded but couldn't lend it to him."

Minato casually replied, "Ever since Jiraiya-sensei was arrested, even the Third Hokage has lost trust in the Women's Association. This thing is no longer visible in the hot springs."

Yun was taken aback: "How did you know? Have you tried it?"

These words immediately made Minato lose his composure, and he quickly explained, "Setting up the barrier at the hot spring requires communication with the Anbu and the security forces. I only borrowed this crystal ball today, and I will return it after the first exam."

"Why are you so nervous? I didn't say you were going to use it for something bad."

As she spoke, Yun looked at the image inside the crystal ball.

The first exam went without any major surprises; compared to the original story I remembered, not a single person was eliminated.

That so-called final question, without Naruto's declaration, didn't even make a single genin give up on the exam.

This situation is highly illogical.

"It seems these little guys already knew the purpose of our assessment."

Yun looked at the crystal ball and said, "Even the guy who took the Chunin Exams with Izumi is here. He's already eighteen years old, right?"

Minato sighed, "After all, it concerns their courage to continue uniting in the future. The Third Tsuchikage has been quite busy lately."

"The Chunin Exams are ultimately just tests for genin to be promoted to chunin. They also know very well that we won't let Team 7 get into trouble. A harmless test will naturally convince most people."

Most people?

Yun smiled.

I'm afraid that, apart from that old geezer Onoki, most people will follow in his footsteps in the future.

They might think that their death would be an opportunity, or that they would surrender after being killed by the Vortex.

It's all just a joke...

At that moment, Minato handed over a document: "Take a look at this. I've thought about it, but it's up to you to decide whether you agree or not."

Yun took the file and opened it.

???

The report on the document made Yun's eye twitch, which meant that only Shikamaru could find a loophole.

The Nine-Tails is registered as a ninja beast, and because of the Inuzuka clan and certain summoning techniques, the power of ninja beasts is indeed allowed to participate in the Chunin Exams.

But bringing a nine-tailed fish into the fishpond to blast it...

This is a bit outrageous, isn't it?

"Reject it."

Yun threw the file on the table: "My purpose in having Team 7 participate in the Chunin Exams was to give them some experience. Letting that little Nine-Tails in and letting it blow up the fishpond might just lead to it ruining the Chunin Exams."

Minato thought about it and it seemed to make sense. Just as he was about to agree, he noticed that Yun had picked up the document again.

"and many more."

"What's wrong? Have you changed your mind?"

Yun smiled wickedly.
