Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Naruto rubbed his hands together, his face full of flattery: "Oh right, right, I got revenge for you this time, boss! That bastard said last time that you were beaten...knocked out, you can say that now!"

"laugh!"

With a disdainful laugh, Nine-Tails replied, "You think you won?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and plopped down on the ground.

"Is that so? So it's all just Brother Yun's test? Once we reach a certain level, we'll pass?"

Kurama didn't answer, but glanced at Naruto and said, "That explanation is acceptable. Someone's waiting for you outside. Get lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto's consciousness went black, and then he opened his eyes.

"Hey? Brother Yun."

Turning her head to the side, she said, "Hinata, you have dark circles under your eyes. Have you been here the whole time? How long have I been asleep?"

On the other hospital bed, the author's Sasuke's eye twitched: "Can't you see me, a grown man?"

Naruto looked up at the sound of the voice: "Oh? Sasuke, you're here too?"

These words almost made Erzhuzi lose his temper.

Yun, who had been smiling and silent, spoke up: "The Uzumaki clan has a very strong physique. Your chakra recovery is quite good. You only slept for three and a half days."

Hinata blushed, then stood up and went between the two hospital beds.

After bowing deeply at a 90-degree angle, he looked up at his two teammates and said, "I'm sorry! But... but I will definitely work even harder in the future!"

"I...I will definitely help more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto, who had sat up, smiled and placed his hand on Hinata's shoulder: "What are you talking about? I promised to protect you for the rest of my life! Everyone in the village can be a witness!"

Sasuke smiled and extended his hand as well: "We are Team 7, I believe in you."

"Eh eh eh!"

Naruto pouted: "Can't you not go and let loose?"

???

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then stared wide-eyed and almost used his Mangekyou Sharingan.

This is simply... utterly shameless!

Yun, who was standing to the side, smiled as she watched this scene.

These things... were changed into their current form because of my existence!

"Brother Yun."

After some playful fighting, Naruto looked at Yun and asked, "The fox boss told me... that we didn't defeat the Nine-Tails?"

Yun thought for a moment and replied, "Just Sage Mode plus a few of your enlarged Rasengans... plus one Tailed Beast Ball from Shukaku, is indeed not enough."

These words made Sasuke, who was standing nearby, look over as well: "So all of this is Brother Yun's test for us, right? After we reach a certain level, the Nine-Tails will be defeated."

Yun replied, "You could say that. Because when Naruto tricked Shikamaru into staying behind alone to fight the Nine-Tails, you had basically completed the test."

"You have learned to unite all forces that can be united, you have learned about Yu's sacrifice when necessary, and you have come to understand the importance of your comrades."

As Yun spoke, he looked at Hinata and said, "The feeling of powerlessness will motivate you to catch up in the future, and the true bond of Team 7 will be officially formed. That is my purpose."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three little devils fell into deep thought.

At that moment, the door to the ward was gently pushed open.

Shikamaru peeked out, then relaxed and pushed the door open.

"I thought you two were still asleep! Did Brother Yun just arrive too?"

"Brother Yun? Shikamaru, get out of the way!"

"They're all awake? Then we can go to a barbecue restaurant to celebrate tonight! Barbecue, barbecue!"

Three more kids came in, and the ward became much livelier.

Yun looked at Shikamaru with some surprise: "Your eye... was it hit by Kurama?"

Shikamaru scratched his head helplessly: "The Nine-Tails said I caused it to lose a lot of money, so this punch is interest."

Yun smiled and replied, "Does your mother know? If she does, then Little Nine-Tailed Fox is probably in for a rough time."

Just then, Ino squeezed out from behind.

"Brother Yun, are you here to see Naruto and the others too? I didn't see you go to the flower shop to buy flowers this morning."

As she spoke, Ino placed the flowers in her hand into the vase, then moved to stand next to Yun.

Yun glanced at the vase and replied, "As a fellow student from the same cohort, Ino will definitely bring flowers, so I don't need to buy any."

"By the way, quite a few of you passed the third exam. There will be an elimination round in a week."

Elimination rounds?

Shikamaru scratched his head and looked at Naruto: "We might selectively concede in the third match, since we might run into fellow villagers. What if we encounter Naruto and Sasuke..."

At this point, Shikamaru looked up at the clouds: "The third exam... will their powers be sealed again?"

Yun shook his head: "There's no need for that anymore. Only by pressing down and relaxing can we let those people see the true power of Class 7."

Uh! →_→

Shikamaru smiled helplessly, then glanced at his two companions: "I guess everyone's first reaction when they encounter Team 7 will be to surrender immediately."

Yun shrugged: "Maybe we'll let Naruto fight Sasuke? Or maybe Naruto fight Hinata? That way they shouldn't surrender, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people on the hospital bed, along with Hinata, all looked at Yun with incredulous eyes.

Can you...be a decent human being?

It's one thing to let the Nine-Tails enter the second round, but to do this again in the third round?

Yun then looked at the three of them as well: "You three, whoever dares to admit defeat right away, I'll beat the one who admits defeat, and I guarantee you won't be able to get out of bed for half a month."

"So... if you're confident you can beat me, you can choose to concede and not fight at all."

"Or if you think you can defeat me without the seal, you can try it. Disciples are welcome to challenge me."

Chapter 352: Sasuke VS Naruto

Ha ha……

Welcome the challenge?

Who dares to challenge you? Looking for a thrill?

Shikamaru rubbed his temples, sighed, and looked at Naruto and the other two.

"We still need to go check on Sakura and Kiba. You two are recovering so quickly, so there's no need to worry too much."

Naruto then asked, "Are they badly injured? I didn't pay much attention that day because I used up too much chakra."

Sasuke replied, "They're badly injured, but since Brother Yun didn't use his abilities to heal them, then Lady Tsunade can probably let them make it to the third exam."

Nodding, Shikamaru waved and said, "We'll be going now."

……

Even after leaving the hospital, Shikamaru was still thinking about the events of the past few days.

Judging solely from his intellect, Shikamaru felt he was no less intelligent than anyone else.

But despite having considered many things, his years of education made him hesitant to draw conclusions.

Commoners, nobles, bandits...

It was such a special graduation assessment, but I've been thinking about it from time to time ever since.

The meaning of what Uzumaki Sora said when Akatsuki declared war is so similar to this story. So, does Brother Yun also agree with that person's ideology?

In fact, Shikamaru was fully able to understand the meaning of that story: nobles are the rotten roots, but also the builders of a certain order.

Without order, there will only be chaos.

So... what will the two strongest people in the world do?

……

Time flew by, and the elimination round of the third exam passed very peacefully.

Both of Team 7's opponents forfeited, and some of the other twelve kids from Konoha also unfortunately ran into each other.

Unfortunately, this factor was actually just Yun's way of eliminating some truly powerless little devils.

The third exam has arrived.

From the stands, Kakashi looked around and asked, "It's quite unusual that none of the Daimyo of the five great nations are here for a joint Chunin Exam."

Yun smiled and said, "They don't dare to come. From the daimyo prefectures of various countries to Konoha Village, without my protection, they don't even dare to leave the daimyo prefectures now."

After hesitating for a moment, Kakashi finally asked, "Sasuke and Naruto shouldn't be facing my three students, right?"

Yun looked at Kakashi strangely: "Why do you say that? If you run into him, why not just admit defeat?"

These words made Kakashi's eye twitch, and he then looked at a figure not far away.

"Admitting defeat will inevitably hurt them, they're still just kids. But if they don't admit defeat, I worry that the blow will be even greater."

Yun followed his gaze and looked over: "That guy has been beaten down by you since he was a child, but it seems that he becomes more and more courageous with each setback. You should no longer be a match for him."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Don't worry, Hinata will have a bye. Sasuke and Naruto will fight, and the winner will face Hinata."

These words clearly relieved Kakashi, and a short while later, the list of duels hanging high indeed showed what Yun had said.

"The second test has already assessed them. In the third test, we need to show these guys the true fighting power of Class 7."

"A one-sided match is pointless, and those genin aren't stupid; they all just forfeit if they don't participate. If we don't let them fight, they'll have to forfeit even if they're facing their own village's opponents."

As Yun spoke, she looked out of the examination room.

They've all basically given in and come to understand something.

In that case, sacrificing oneself is their best option.
