Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"You should remember that I once said that the boy possessed the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths from the legend: the Rinnegan."

"There's one more thing, that person named Uzumaki Sora bears a striking resemblance to a boy named Yahiko, one of the disciples I took in back then!"

Nine-tenths similar?

Rinnegan?

The eyes of the Sage of Six Paths?

"But Sora's eyes are not the Rinnegan."

Jiraiya nodded: "That's true, but we also know nothing about the abilities of the Rinnegan."

Chapter Sixty-Two: The First Step in Clan Reform

The next night.

Uchiha clan territory, Naga Shrine.

At this moment, all the Jonin of the Uchiha clan have gathered here, and even the security forces only have a few Chunin left behind.

The Seventh Hokage of the Uchiha clan looked at the clan members below and said, "Since Fugaku's death two years ago, the position of Uchiha clan head has been vacant, which has led to a lack of unity in the Uchiha's external statements."

"As for the selection of the Uchiha clan leader, everyone has different opinions. The debate has been going on for two years, and the purpose of today's clan meeting is still to select the clan leader."

As soon as he finished speaking, the various Uchiha Jonin who were sitting cross-legged began to express their opinions.

"Since Captain Fugaku's assassination, the security forces have been facing severe financial difficulties for the past two years."

"Let the Seventh Hokage directly assume the position of clan leader. After all, he has the seniority. And only the Seventh Hokage can help the Uchiha regain its former glory."

"Glory? Isn't that just suicide? Why can't you see the efforts Shisui has been making all this time?"

"Heh... The Fourth Hokage was a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, and Jiraiya was a disciple of the Third Hokage. Their lineage has been targeting our Uchiha clan since the Second Hokage."

“The Fourth Hokage is different from the previous ones. Shisui once said: Our Uchiha’s only chance lies with the Fourth Hokage.”

"He just wants the Uchiha clan to be his tools. Shisui has been quite useful in his hands these past few years, so now he wants the entire Uchiha clan to serve him."

"What did you say? Shisui did it for the sake of the entire family!"

"Isn't that right? The Fourth Hokage was just using him!"

"Damn it! So what have you been doing all this time?"

……

The argument continued. Uchiha Yun and Itachi sat at the back, glancing around at their clansmen who were about to start a fight.

"There are only thirty or forty Jonin-level fighters in total, and even with this strength, they are divided into two factions who are constantly arguing."

Yun rubbed his forehead and complained, "With the Uchiha's unique hereditary mental illness, do these guys really intend to stage a coup like this?"

Itachi, standing nearby, replied, "What if we add Shisui's and your power? Two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan would be enough to deter Konoha from making any rash moves. As long as we wait for a special opportunity, it's not impossible to succeed."

"Ok?"

Yun looked at Itachi beside him with a puzzled expression. Had this kid taken the wrong medicine?

How could such words come out of his mouth? Is this the same madman who went insane and slaughtered his entire clan, young and old?

Itachi and Yun exchanged a glance and pondered, "What you and Shisui have done and arranged in the past two years, as well as the sudden incident a few days ago... Shisui told me about the Uchiha Fire Core."

???

Didn't he promise Minato Namikaze not to tell anyone? But... Itachi probably wants to revise it.

Itachi continued, "A naive person may not necessarily fail to rise to a high position, but a high position cannot remain naive. Yun... If Sasuke is to live a good life in Konoha, the Uchiha clan must become strong."

"Only when we become powerful enough that Konoha dares not act rashly, or when your plans that I am unaware of succeed, will the Uchiha remain safely in Konoha."

Yun smiled at Itachi: "So you just didn't read enough before. Only after experiencing some things can you truly understand this village. Spend more time reading books. If you're not smart enough but still love philosophy, you'll go crazy sooner or later."

……

"Boom boom boom!"

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha tapped the table lightly on the stage, and the noise from below the stage immediately subsided.

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha looked at everyone and said, "I recommend... Uchiha Shisui to be the new head of the Uchiha clan!"

The moment the words were spoken, the scene erupted in chaos.

"How could that be? Why would the Seventh Hokage recommend Uchiha Shisui?"

"Does this mean our entire clan is destined to become the Fourth Hokage's sword?"

"Captain Fugaku died so suddenly. Who in the entire ninja world could possess that kind of speed? Apart from the Fourth Hokage, I can't think of anyone else!"

"As the clan that founded Konoha, why can't we become Hokage?"

"We are the Uchiha, and the pride of the Uchiha will not make me bow my head!"

……

"Boom boom boom!"

The commotion subsided again, and the Seventh Hokage Uchiha stood up and looked around.

"You are all Jonin, possessing considerable analytical abilities. So, I ask you all... would Konoha currently allow an Uchiha to become Hokage?"

"The Daimyo has acknowledged the Jonin team's decision to hold a vote of confidence. Gentlemen, will the Uchiha clan pass?"

……

No one responded for a moment.

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha looked around: "Without a doubt, this is impossible! We have never had a good relationship with the village's ordinary merchants because of the presence of the security forces."

"Given the complex situation, the ninjas and clans of Konoha have always had different opinions about us. Therefore, a vote of confidence for Jonin is completely impossible."

"Because of Madara Uchiha, the Daimyo would not want the Uchiha to become Hokage. Of course, the Daimyo was just an ordinary person."

"Then please tell me, gentlemen, do you... intend to kill half of Konoha's ninjas? Only by killing half will the remaining ones acknowledge us out of fear."

"Then... Konoha's strength has been greatly diminished, and the Sand Village of the Land of Wind is eyeing us covetously. When we are surrounded on all sides, will we still have the strength to resist?"

At this moment, a member of the martial arts faction in the audience stood up and retorted, "Even so, are we just supposed to be slaughtered? Konoha has been targeting us ever since the Second Hokage!"

"Seventh Hokage, you are good at analysis, but just because Shisui can convince you doesn't mean he can convince me! And I will never acknowledge Uchiha Shisui as the clan head!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man pushed open the door and prepared to leave.

But the next moment, a figure appeared directly behind him.

"Shh!"

A flash of cold light passed by.

His long sleeves were cut off, revealing the tattoo marks on his shoulders.

"The mark of the Dark Side? A direct descendant of the third generation? Or a direct descendant of the fourth generation? Or... a remnant of the Root?"

The Uchiha at the door suddenly turned around, and the three-tomoe stared at Yun.

Magical Shackles Technique!

In an instant, the scene changed, but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

"Shh!"

The kunu stabbed, but Yun slightly turned her head to dodge it, and casually slashed with her knife, causing her shoulder to fall to the ground instantly.

The seal of self-karma bondage!

In an instant, black marks spread from the soles of his feet upwards, and the Uchiha was unable to move an inch due to the pain of losing his arm.

"Why? Why is my illusion..."

Illusion?

Yun thought for a moment, "Was there an illusion spell activated just now?"

"Buzz!"

In an instant, three-bladed darts spun in Yun's eyes: "A three-tomoe illusion? I don't feel anything."

kaleidoscope?!

The horrified Uchiha stared wide-eyed: "How is this possible? You brat, who are you?"

Yun put away his kaleidoscope and smiled, replying, "I'm still studying at the Ninja Academy, so you probably don't recognize me. Uchiha Yun, reporting for duty."

……

"stop!"

"who is he?!"

"Stop him!"

……

It took only two seconds, and even those around them had barely reacted.

At that moment, Yun turned around and shrugged: "I'm just showing you his shoulder, it's not like I need to kill him right now."

Shoulder?

Everyone looked toward the shoulder that had fallen to the ground, and the dark mark on it came into everyone's view.

Then Yun went forward and pried open its mouth, slapped the back of its head, and made it stick out its tongue.

The seal of the annihilation of the root of calamity through the tongue.

Residual parts of the root?

In my memory, when Danzo was searching for Aburame to retrieve Root, he said that there were people in Root from both the Yamanaka and Uchiha clans, and that was this guy?

At this moment, Shisui also stepped forward, slowly walked to Yun's side and said, "He is the one I brought, Uchiha Yun, and he is one of the forces that can temporarily stabilize Konoha."

The Seventh Hokage Uchiha said at this moment, "The Uchiha with power are capable of talking to Konoha. A coup can only bring destruction, but now we have an opportunity."

"The power of two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan is enough to bring us back to the negotiating table. Shisui convinced me, and only in this way can the Uchiha have another chance to become great."
