Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"But... what if Naruto doesn't think of that?"

Shikamaru shook his head slightly: "Someone will remind him later. The chances of Team 7 entering at the last minute are slim. Besides, both Neji and Karin can figure it out."

The next moment, his hands instantly formed a hand seal.

A black shadow instantly lengthened, binding a giant python on the giant tree.

Choji then emptied all the potato chips into his mouth, and his outstretched hand instantly enlarged, grabbing the giant python and flinging it away.

"call……"

After letting out a breath, Shikamaru looked at the forest: "This is really a dangerous jungle... The Chunin Exams are really troublesome."

……

A day passed quickly.

The Forest of Death was bustling with activity at this moment.

Little Nine-Tailed Fox felt that she had discovered a new way to get rich, and she couldn't even count all the money she had.

"Fifteen teams, three people per team, forty-five people in total, each person gets twenty thousand taels... One arrest would net one million eight hundred thousand taels!"

"Huh? The money's not right?"

"Those bastards definitely didn't give enough!"

"Roar!!!"

With a roar, and enveloped in crimson chakra, the Nine-Tails leaped up and chased after the group of people.

The Iwagakure and Kirigakure squads, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, were stunned once again upon hearing the roar.

"Damn Konoha! They actually let something like the Nine-Tails rob them! Are they desperate for money?"

"Run!"

"How are we supposed to stop Squad 7 if we do this? Bastards!"

"If I weren't outmatched, I would have fought it to the death!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Run!"

"Didn't we just give them money? Why are they still chasing us?!"

How much was given?

"Fifteen squads, forty-five men, nine hundred thousand taels, that's correct!"

And so, another chase over arithmetic problems began.

……

Chapter 343: Differential Treatment

"boom!!"

Amidst the rising dust, a crimson figure descended from the sky and landed before everyone.

The nine-tailed fox, now back to its normal size, twisted its neck: "I've gotten used to the shrunken version, so coming back to normal feels a little uncomfortable."

Turning his head, a massive surge of crimson chakra erupted, and the magnified, ferocious appearance of the Nine-Tails made everyone in front of him swallow hard.

"boom!"

The giant claw descended, and the ground cracked inch by inch.

"You bunch of brats, how dare you embezzle my money! Do you have a death wish?!"

corruption?!

In an instant, more than forty pairs of eyes turned to Iwagakure's Zhidou.

How could there still be corruption under such dire circumstances? A look of utter contempt flashed in everyone's eyes!

Because of Onoki's questionable actions during several Shinobi World Wars, the various ninja villages have long distrusted Iwagakure.

So after Kurama finished speaking, everyone began to have some doubts, wondering if Iwagakure's Jido had really embezzled the money that was supposed to be given to Kurama to buy his life.

Under such suspicious gazes, Chito became anxious, as he was well aware of his responsibilities in this Chunin Exam.

The Tsuchikage's instructions before we came were still ringing in my ears. Although Iwagakure had not yet been attacked, its situation was not much better than that of Sunagakure and Kumogakure.

"If you can unite and defeat Uchiha Kumo's three disciples in this joint Chunin Exam, it will give the four great ninja villages hope for the future."

"Yes... it can only be in the future. Because although we don't want to admit it, Konoha has indeed achieved its goal of becoming the leader of the five villages without waging war."

"Habits... they really are terrifying!"

"The Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure is dead, and the Fifth Raikage of Kumogakure is dead. After the death of that old man, Genji, the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure did not harbor any lingering hatred from the past, nor did she have the determination to fight to the death..."

"Once, Iwagakure was protected under the name of the Two Scales, but now, the Two Scales, Onoki, will become Iwagakure's death warrant..."

"Zhi Tu... Perhaps I am truly selfish, but in order to preserve a spark of resistance for the future, I urge you to complete this secret mission entrusted to you, even at the cost of your life!"

"After I die, the Fourth Tsuchikage will be Akatsuchi, and only Akatsuchi truly serves their interests..."

"If possible, the Fifth Tsuchikage will be that kid Akatsuchi, but if not, let Akatsuchi continue to be the Tsuchikage!"

"After I die, remember this: obey Konoha's arrangements in everything!"

"They won't let the Iwagakure ninjas deliberately go to their deaths. If it were just a matter of this scale, they could easily do it now..."

"So don't worry too much. Keep your life and wait patiently for the changes that will come in the future."

"Regardless of whether Uzumaki Sora is colluding with Konoha or not, their ideals may just happen to coincide at this moment, but things will definitely change in the future, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry..."

……

As if giving his last words, the Tsuchikage had even decided on the successor to the Fourth Hokage.

At that time, besides himself, there was also Lord Tsuchikage, but he did not question the selection of the Fourth Tsuchikage.

Lord Yellow Earth's anger was only revealed after he left the Earth Shadow's residence.

However, what angered him was not the selection of the Fourth Tsuchikage, but the humiliating situation that Iwagakure was facing.

"Ha! Iwagakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, has to sacrifice the Tsuchikage who has been in office for decades just to survive! I don't agree with this way of life!"

"No one in Iwagakure would condone such a cowardly existence!"

"What a disgrace! As a son, as a Jonin of Iwagakure, this is a disgrace to us!"

After a long while, Huang Tu, the son of the third Tsuchikage, sighed.

"Perhaps this is why the old man didn't want me to be the fourth generation? Akatsuchi's personality is just right."

"If Iwagakure doesn't want to be destroyed, it can only endure it."

"Zhi Tu... you've planted the seeds of future rebellion; it all depends on you."

"That girl Kurotsuchi will also be participating in this Chunin Exams. I need to make her remember this, remember this humiliation!"

……

Scenes from before he arrived flashed through Chito's mind, and the Nine-Tails' chakra that filled the air no longer seemed so terrifying.

But the next moment, a still somewhat immature figure walked up from beside it, facing the terrifying pressure of the Nine-Tails.

"The Uchiha lord arranged for you to be here, which is certainly not to eliminate us all, nor is it for such a small amount of money."

"As a tailed beast that has existed for thousands of years, Lord Kurama, with your wisdom, you must understand this as well."

Upon hearing this, Little Nine-Tailed nodded repeatedly.

"Little girl, you not only have long legs, but you also speak quite well. With my wisdom, I certainly understand these things."

Hei Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the reply.

He then continued, "We have fifteen teams here, forty-five people, and they are basically all opponents of those three from Team 7 of Konoha this time."

"In this situation, if we are all eliminated by you, then there's no point in talking about the test that Lord Uchiha put on Team 7!"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox stared at Kurotsuchi with wide eyes: "So, little girl, you mean I'm lying?!"

Just as she was about to erupt in anger, Kurotsuchi shook her head and said, "Lord Nine-Tails, you are a tailed beast that has lived for thousands of years. The oldest among us is only seventeen years old. How could you possibly lie to us?"

"But there are forty-five of us here, and each of us gave Zhi Tu twenty thousand taels of silver, which is the price you, Lord Nine-Tailed Fox, set. So what I want to know is, how much did Zhi Tu give you? That way we can find out how much he embezzled!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chito was about to explain, but Kurotsuchi stopped him with her raised hand.

The little nine-tailed fox stroked its chin and thought this made sense, so it plopped down and started counting on its paws.

"Twenty thousand taels per person, sixty thousand taels for a squad... fifteen squads in total..."

"Anyway, it should be 1.8 million taels, but that bastard from Iwagakure only gave me 900,000 taels. He actually dared to embezzle half of it!"

"They even fool foxes! They're not human!"

"I've worked hard for five days and barely made any money. That bastard is despicable! Unforgivable!"

The furious Nine-Tailed Fox stood with its paws on its hips, looking extremely angry.

After he finished speaking, the group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

If it weren't for those streams of crimson chakra, some people probably would have burst out laughing.

"Damn it, was it done on purpose?"

"It doesn't seem like it was intentional..."

"Damn it! Did Uchiha Yun teach it arithmetic?"

"I knew Iwagakure wouldn't be that stupid in this situation... But what should we do next?"

"Should we discuss arithmetic problems with it?"

Do you want to be silenced?

"Let's see what that guy from Iwagakure is going to do..."

"Stupid, idiot, bastard..."

"Uchiha Yun let it in to protect his disciple. How could he make such a simple mistake? Can you believe it?"
