Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

With a soft thud, Onoki frowned, enduring the intense pain in his lower back.

Shinra Tensei!

The repulsive force erupted, and Onoki was instantly sent flying.

It was at this moment that the human path, which had been hidden in the shadows and carried by the chameleon, began to stir.

On the chameleon's protruding tongue, Human Path slapped Onoki on the head.

Ultimately, his body couldn't keep up with Onoki's pace and he was utterly defeated. At this point, Pain's Six Paths were reduced to only the Deva Path, the Human Path, and the Animal Path.

"Huhuhu..."

Panting heavily, Onoki, who could no longer stand, knelt on the ground. Above his head, a part of his soul had been pulled out of the human realm.

"So an old thing like me deserves to die... In the end, I won't even be able to see your true form."

Pain said indifferently, "An old stubborn like you, even your soul is obstinate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Onoki's soul was extracted, and his short but upright body collapsed to the ground, powerless.

……

Daimyofu, the Land of Wind.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"Money! Women! Lots and lots of them... I can give you anything!"

"Please! Please let me go..."

"I am the daimyo of the Land of Wind! I am one of the most powerful people in this world!"

"I can bring your Akatsuki organization to the Land of Wind, and you can replace Sunagakure! As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything..."

"puff."

A puppet flashed by, its head flying into the air, blood gushing from its neck and scattering across the ground.

Deidara, standing to the side, pursed his lips: "He's a daimyo from one of the Five Great Nations, yet this kind of death has absolutely no artistry."

Scorpion, now in his true form, showed no expression: "As human beings, we all eventually face death. And when facing death, we all feel fear. This applies to daimyo... and to ordinary people as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Scorpion looked into the distance.

Several figures leaped and arrived, the leader being the old man who had once taught him puppetry.

"Scorpion! Do you know what you're doing?"

"Heinous crimes! Heinous crimes!"

"You will be hunted down by the entire ninja world!"

"Damn it! The entire Daming Prefecture... the entire..."

Aside from Chiyo remaining silent, several high-ranking members of Sunagakure uttered insincere words.

Sasori replied indifferently, "You came here... because you thought Uchiha Kumo would come, right? After all, last time between Sunagakure and Kumogakure, that person chose Sunagakure."

Uh!

One sentence left several high-ranking officials speechless.

Sasori continued, "Or... do you think that by coming to the Daimyo's residence now, and waiting for us to be killed by Uchiha Kumo, you can arrange for a young daimyo orphan to be born?"

"The Land of Wind has been reducing its military spending on Sunagakure. I imagine you're actually happy about that right now, aren't you?"

"As long as Uchiha Yun can get here, using the Flying Thunder God Technique will only take a moment, right?"

Chiyo frowned, but then exhaled.

Wasn't this the ending we had already foreseen?

When Ebizo died, he had only lived a little longer.

"Uchiha Yun... is he held up, right?"

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking members of Sunagakure standing nearby were immediately stunned.

With their eyes meeting, they all made their decisions.

However, just as the group was about to leave Chiyo behind to cover their retreat while they fled back to Sunagakure, Chiyo's scroll opened by itself.

Chikamatsu Jujin-ei.

"Puff puff……"

Blood splattered, and everyone's eyes were filled with bewilderment as they fell.

Did Chiyo, a member of the older generation in Sunagakure, betray them?

"The reason I brought you with me, besides knowing your filthy thoughts, was also to keep you here."

"With you all dead, the Sand Village's higher-ups are left with only those who support Gaara and those who remain neutral. That child may not be powerful enough yet, but what use is power in the world to come?"

"His existence can bring Sunagakure and Konoha closer together. Such a simple truth, yet you, blinded by power, have never been able to see it."

As Chiyo finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Sasori: "You have chosen a different path, a path that is not easy to walk, and I cannot even see what your fate will be."

The scorpion puppet's body twitched slightly, but its expression remained unchanged: "Your name... is on the list of those who need to be removed."

Chiyo smiled easily: "Silly child, as an older generation ninja, I have something within me that hinders future peace."

"Although I hate to admit it, I am indeed getting old, and I can no longer even see my grandson's emotions clearly."

Deidara, standing to the side, picked his nose: "Sasori...senpai, is he someone we know? If you can't bring yourself to do it, why don't you let me do it?"

One by one, the puppets rose into the air.

"No need, I can handle it myself."

Behind Chiyo, the ten guards of Chikamatsu stood watch on all sides.

"Then... see me off on my journey."

……

Coastal area of ​​the Land of Fire.

"Another place like this..."

"As the place where the strongest battle in the ninja world takes place, the open space here is the best place."

Uzumaki Sora glanced at the fleeting figure in the forest out of the corner of his eye, then smiled and said, "Isn't this an unnecessary battle? Now that I have chosen Konoha and you have accepted the arrival of the new era, many things are no longer necessary."

Uchiha Yun smiled and said, "Whether you chose Konoha or we chose you, this battle will decide that."

As soon as the words were spoken, the chakra within the two of them suddenly erupted.

"boom!!"

Under immense pressure during the standoff, the surrounding trees were uprooted.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, Uchiha Yun's eyes revealed the Rinnegan with six tomoe, and six Truth-Seeking Balls condensed and floated in the air behind him.

Uzumaki Sora's eyes also turned bright blue, and in the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, Truth-Seeking Balls condensed in his hands.

Battle is imminent.

Meanwhile, in the collapsed forest, little toads watched the battlefield.

Inside the Hokage Building in Konoha, a crystal ball obtained from Mount Myōboku is displaying scenes from the battlefield.

Is it necessary?

"Ok?"

Minato paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Uzumaki Sora has the ability to revive. If external intervention is needed at the last moment, I can get there immediately."

"and……"

Shikaku chimed in, "Furthermore, the ultimate power of the Byakugan can be manifested in Sora Uzumaki. We need to understand it more so that Hinata can master it as soon as possible... right?"

With two pretexts in place, the Hokage and the strategist reached an agreement in no time.

Neither of them voiced their concerns, nor would they ever voice them.

Minato sighed: "Since the last battle at the Sea of ​​End, Yun has never gone all out. In this form, just the sight of him makes me feel depressed."

Lu Jiu said solemnly, "This is a suppression of the life level. Whether it is him or Xuanzhao Kong, they are already different from us in the essence of life."

"The ascension that Obito spoke of?"

Minato pinched the bridge of his nose.

After witnessing the power displayed by the two men, he knew that this method would inevitably be discovered.

Doubt remains just doubt; the arrow is already on the bowstring and must be released.

Shikaku also frowned.

Intelligent people have their own troubles, because even though they have doubts, they have to swallow all their doubts and get nowhere.

Because asking questions will tear a corner of all the beauty away.

……

"Boom boom boom..."

One after another, Truth-Seeking Balls shot out from the Vortex Empty Hand, the violent explosions causing the sea to recede and the earth to shatter.

"boom!"

The black iron rod collided with the Truth-Seeking Ball.

The impact of that single blow sent another layer of dust flying.

Kill all the Ash Bones!

A piece of bone emerged from the palm of his hand, then pressed down on the vortex and crashed into the ground.

"boom!!!"

The earth cracked open, and the vortex dodged and rose into the air.

"They really went all out! That kind of ability will disintegrate and vanish as soon as it hits. Although I can be resurrected, I've already lost this battle."
