Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

……

After the dust settled in the stadium...

Naruto had returned to his original state, while Sasuke, who was opposite him, had a tear of blood falling from the corner of his eye.

"I surrender!" ×2

The proctor was stunned when he raised his hand at the same time; even through the Four Red Sun Formation, he looked completely bewildered.

You two fought to this point, and then you both conceded defeat at the same time. What are you doing?

Sasuke, panting heavily, looked at Naruto: "Why are you giving up? My eyes are under too much strain. Fighting you is enough. If I go and fight Hinata, I'll probably go blind."

Naruto scratched his head and replied, "We all said we wouldn't use Boss Fox's power, but since we did, it's obviously my way of admitting defeat..."

Sasuke chuckled: "You should take care of your own girlfriend. I'll pass."

While the two were arguing, several masked members of the Anbu appeared directly next to Minato.

After a few whispered words, Minato's expression turned grim.

"What is it, Hokage?"

"Kirabi, who was sitting to the side, asked."

Minato thought for a moment and replied, "The Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire has been placed under a reverse barrier. The intruder is Uzumaki Sora."

After saying that, Minato stood up: "The Chunin Exams are suspended. The Anbu and the Barrier Team are on high alert. The Jonin Teams are to assemble at the Hokage Building."

After making the announcement, Minato glanced at Yunhou, then grabbed Shikaku and disappeared from the spot.

Hokage Building.

"Shh."

Yun's true form appeared behind Minato: "What's wrong?"

Minato looked at Yun, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately.

"The Akatsuki's Uzumaki Sora appeared in the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire. He did not make any attempt to conceal his presence or directly destroy the mansion. Instead, he set up a reverse barrier and, as if toying with the people, pointed out their crimes one by one before killing them."

"Daimyo Prefecture urgently requested assistance, but Uzumaki Sora did not stop it. This situation... seems a lot like he's fishing for them!"

Yun nodded: "Obviously, he wants me to go. If he's the only invader from the Land of Fire's Daimyo's Mansion, then it's clear that the other members of Akatsuki are also taking action."

At this moment, Shikaku spoke up: "Several years ago, when the Akatsuki declared war, they stated their objectives, and we followed suit with some actions. But..."

After sighing, Shikaku continued, "If I'm not mistaken, after Yun goes to provide support, the daimyo prefectures of the other four great kingdoms will also be attacked. Their goal is to wipe out all the corrupt nobles."

"This might be... their final battle. After this, the Akatsuki will become a thorn in the side of all ninja villages."

Minato rubbed his temples and looked at Yun.

Is the path to true peace about to begin?

At this moment, Shikaku frowned and continued, "But there are some things we don't know. With this unanimous cooperation, I don't know if Uzumaki Sora was prepared..."

"In the gap between the destruction of the old order and the establishment of the new order, if there is no good transition, the number of ordinary people who die or are injured may be far greater than that of the war."

At this point, Shikaku's gaze also turned to the clouds.

noble?

The concept of nobility sometimes represents more than just the people of the Daimyo's mansion. The various clans in the Five Great Ninja Villages are also nobles at times, and perhaps even more greedy than nobles.

Nara is also a noble family. Given the plans of the established Fifth Hokage and Uzumaki Sora, where does his family stand?

There's no way to stop it.

Furthermore, there are many things that cannot be verified, and I dare not verify them.

Some ideas that were abandoned long ago should not be considered now.

So, should we go now, or not?

"Go!" ×2

Shikaku affirmed, "He's waiting for you. If you don't go, then Konoha's existing advantage might change."

Minato added, "If Kumo doesn't go to provide support, according to the alliance agreement, the representatives of the other four great ninja villages will also request Kumo to provide support to them."

"While avoiding the vortex space might be a decisive advantage, it would put us in a difficult position, pleasing neither side. When faced with an invasion, our priority should be to address our own problems first."

Yun nodded: "Okay, then I'll go. I'll let him know about the period of uncertainty that Lu Jiu mentioned."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun's figure disappeared from the spot.

Then, a long silence fell over the office.

"Give me a heads-up? This method of notification... it seems that Yun and that Vortex Sky have already reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation..."

Minato sighed and said, "Shikaku, what are you thinking?"

After a moment of silence, Shikaku replied, "I have no idea. I dare not think about it, nor can I."

As he spoke, Shikaku also sighed: "Konoha's losses have been minimal in recent years, but that person will definitely not show any mercy to the Daimyo. Uchiha Kumo will be Konoha's Fifth Hokage, and Uzumaki Sora will be an enemy of the entire ninja world, as well as an enemy of Konoha and Uchiha Kumo."

"No one can deny this, nor can anyone deny it."

Exhausted, Minato nodded slightly, and after a long pause, he said, "The Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire has been attacked. Perhaps I, the Fourth Hokage, should resign to take responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Shikaku panicked slightly and quickly replied, "Lord Hokage, Kumo is still too young. There are still many things that require someone who can speak up for you."

"His power is unmatched. After reaching a tacit understanding with Uzumaki Sora, no one in the entire ninja world can stop them from doing whatever they want."

"If they were to become Hokage under these circumstances, I worry that they would be too eager to achieve true peace. If that were the case, the entire ninja world might descend into chaos."

confusion……

Perhaps...

After the Chunin Exams, the attitudes of the four great ninja villages are clear, and the daimyo's fiefdoms of various major powers will be cleaned up again...

……

Meanwhile, the third stage of the Chunin Exams was halted midway, and the representatives from each village returned to their lodgings.

With the entire Hidden Leaf Village on high alert, no one wanted to risk trouble at this time.

Rock hidden residence.

Onoki seemed to have come to terms with it, reaching out to ruffle Kurotsuchi's hair: "In the future... you should think about things more, just like you did in the Chunin Exams. You'll eventually figure things out."

Kurotsuchi looked up in alarm: "Has...what happened?"

During the Chunin Exams, only the representatives of the five great ninja villages and the Kage sat together, so she didn't hear Minato's conversation with Killer Bee when he left.

"The Akatsuki's Uzumaki Sora is attacking the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire."

Onoki smiled as he spoke: "The fact that such an incident didn't make Uchiha Yun leave immediately speaks volumes."

“It’s time for us old codgers who are still clinging to life to make way for this world. As long as we old things who still harbor hatred don’t die, true peace in this world can never come.”

"Kurotsuchi, actually, if the next generation of Iwagakure doesn't have to experience war after you, I'd be very happy."

"From the Warring States period to the ninja villages, far too many lives were lost in the fighting. Perhaps if Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had been able to form such a tacit understanding, the three Shinobi World Wars would never have happened."

"Kurotsuchi, if you don't want to drag Iwagakure into the abyss, don't even think about revenge."

……

Chapter 354: The Beginning of Change

The initial system of ninja villages, the establishment of Konoha, was based on the foundation laid by the two warlords of the Warring States period.

Aside from the conflict between the Senju and Uchiha clans, the other smaller clans in the Land of Fire didn't have much room to resist.

At that time, no clan in the entire Land of Fire could rival the Senju and Uchiha. Therefore, after the two sides reached an agreement, the founding of Konoha proceeded smoothly.

However, there are only two people who stand above the entire ninja world. The establishment of the four great ninja villages was more due to the oppressive atmosphere after the founding of Konoha.

If we don't change, we'll only be waiting to die.

Decades later, this trend of impending change seems to be coming again.

Onoki understood, Killer Bee understood, and even Gaara and Mei Terumi understood.

The residence of the Hidden Cloud.

Killer Bee was also at the window, gazing down at the streets of Konoha, which were now under martial law.

And in the place where he was sealed, the Ox-Demon also sensed the fluctuation of his emotions.

"Bi, what came to mind?"

"You demon, have you ever had your life controlled by someone else?"

"After being created by the old man, we tailed beasts didn't really feel any urgency, because even if we died, we would reassemble after a few years. Being sealed in a human body for nearly a hundred years is not too long for us."

"However... the Eye of the Moon Project has indeed frightened us. If we are devoured by the Ten-Tails, our consciousness will gradually disappear."

Killer Bee's gaze was grave: "Right now... I'm like a fish on a board, waiting for my fate."

"Oni. Uzumaki Sora's target isn't the Tailed Beasts. If I die, find a place to hide after you reassemble."

After exiting the sealed area within his body, Killer Bee looked at the two students behind him.

They didn't harbor much hatred, and the deaths of their elder brother and Darui meant they could direct their hatred towards Uzumaki Sora from the Akatsuki organization.

They will be fine; they will see the peace that comes with the power of strength.

"Teacher Bi... are you... are you alright?"

Karui asked somewhat hesitantly.

Omoi, standing nearby, turned the lollipop around: "Is Konoha going to attack us? Suddenly stopping the Chunin Exams... does that mean we can't get back to Kumogakure? We..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Killer Bee's embrace.

"You two little devils, you'd better learn to compromise from now on!"

……

Ten minutes ago, in the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire.

When Vortex Sky, dressed in a black outfit with red clouds, swaggered in, the wary guards spotted him.
