Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"Hehe, the hospitality is quite good."

Minato's eye twitched.

Some things are best left unseen in comparison. A year ago, he wouldn't have cared, since he wasn't as busy then as he is now.

But now I'm almost bald from all the hair I've pulled out, and this guy just does nothing all day long. He's gone to the village and won't even ask about it. It's just too much.

"As planned, let Yun come first..."

"clear."

……

Commercial street, izakaya (Japanese pub).

Having just come of age, Uchiha Yun could finally drink openly. He experienced two sensations after drinking one cup of wine, like a storyboard, which was indeed a unique feeling.

There was no need for the main body and the clone to speak at all; they simply drank one cup of tea and ate some side dishes, which made it quite relaxed and enjoyable.

At that moment, the conversation coming from outside the door caught their attention.

"It's just a small loan. We've known each other for decades. Don't worry, I've already found a way to make money."

"Icha Icha Paradise recently released a new anime series, and it's on limited sale, so you'd better hurry up and get it."

"I've already bought you drinks, and you're still saying that? Believe me or not, I won't buy you any more drinks!"

"You charged me for the flowers you bought at the flower shop in the mountains last time, and the time before that, do you think I didn't know?"

"Uh... →_→ Kakashi, don't be so stingy! You're the class leader of the Jonin team, and you're still so stingy! I've lent you the Mangekyou Sharingan for so many years, and you haven't paid any rent, have you?"

"This...isn't this the gift you gave me to become a Jonin? Why don't we go to the memorial stone and ask Rin? She can testify for me."

"You're truly shameless! I shouldn't have gone back to save you in the first place; otherwise, you bastard would be the one trapped under the boulder!"

"Heh... If I didn't go back, would I need your eyes?"

Although the two were bickering, they still honestly went into the izakaya.

The Chunin Exams were forced to stop a year ago, and only Naruto and Shikamaru became Chunin due to their outstanding performance; Team 9 remained Genin. Therefore, Kakashi, as the Jonin leading the team, has been quite idle lately.

They're so bored they don't even have the money to buy a love paradise anymore.

However, as soon as the two entered, Kakashi paused and immediately blocked Obito behind him.

"Oh, you two big shots are here too? Excuse me."

As he spoke, he stepped back, trying to push Obito out from behind him, but this made things even more difficult, and his movements were rather unseemly.

He was unaware that Uzumaki Sora had visited Konoha. In fact, if Uchiha Kumo hadn't informed him, even Minato and Shikaku wouldn't have known until now.

As the controller of the Akatsuki organization, Kakashi was unsure whether Uzumaki Sora would capture Obito and bring him back to Akatsuki, given that Obito had previously defected from the organization.

On the other hand, although the clouds were also here, the Hokage's decision to leave Obito in Konoha was inherently driven by his own selfish motives.

If a conflict were to break out, and if Kumo and Uzumaki were to become enemies for selfish reasons, the Hokage Building would not allow such a decision to occur, nor would the teacher make such a decision.

"There's no need to run away as soon as you see an old acquaintance you haven't seen in so many years, is there?"

The sound of Vortex Sora made the two people, who were pressed chest to back, pause.

Compared to the tense Kakashi, Obito was much more relaxed.

Coming to Konoha was a choice made by these two bastards in front of me.

Bypassing the tense Kakashi, Obito walked to the private room of the two and smiled: "I didn't expect someone like you to come to Konoha, but with Uchiha Yun watching over you, it's not surprising."

Her acting was superb.

After a moment's thought, Uzumaki Sora asked, "I just heard you found a job? Konoha allows you to be a ninja?"

Obito shook his head: "I also took advantage of a loophole. More and more merchants are coming to and from Konoha, and I use the alternate dimension to store and transport their goods, making a little money."

Uh →_→

Kamui's Mangekyou Sharingan was used as a means of transportation?

This was something that Vortex Sora hadn't anticipated; it was fast, convenient, and easy—definitely a viable approach.

Uchiha Yun, who was opposite him, asked, "You don't have a registered identity in the village, do you? Those merchants couldn't have trusted you in the first place."

Obito scratched his head: "Um... Kurama vouched for me."

→_→←_←

In an instant, all three gazes turned to Obito.

"According to it... it has been cheating and deceiving too much, and the garrison has warned it too many times, so it has to find another way to make a living."

"The guarantor had no malicious intent and provided a guarantee for the shipment of goods. After the first task was completed, the second one was much simpler."

Uchiha Yun smiled and asked, "After the first time, you should be able to work independently, right? After all, once you have a good reputation, you can lower your prices a bit. Merchants are profit-driven, so they should agree."

Obito hesitated for a moment before replying, "The Nine-Tails even brought in the Hokage's son as a shareholder. I heard that Naruto is a bit short of money, and being the Hokage's son makes a difference."

Naruto?

⊙_⊙

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Kakashi was wondering whether he should tell Minato-sensei or go and give Naruto a talking-to himself.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yun was considering something much deeper.

The supernatural abilities of ninjas and the productivity brought by technology will inevitably lead to a tenfold increase in the world's resources.

As resources increase, the population will also double and double again over the next few decades.

At the same time, these resources also create a group of people who become extremely wealthy. For example, businessmen, and guys like Naruto who get shares without contributing anything.

"call……"

After letting out a breath, Uchiha Yun waved his hand and said, "Alright, you guys go drink."

Obito nodded, then turned and left with Kakashi.

Drinking is out of the question; finding another izakaya would be better.

……

"Heh... The nascent capitalism coupled with collusion between officials and businessmen, although that brat Naruto probably didn't think that far ahead, it's not a good thing that these signs have appeared so quickly..."

"Naruto's hundred photos of Sasuke after his bath have been exposed. The first thing Sasuke did after his eye transplant was to fight him. He's probably in a hurry because he's heavily in debt."

"Why are you explaining this to me? It's not like I don't know."

"Two sides of the same coin, can't you experience talking to yourself?"

After he finished speaking, the two fell silent.

A few seconds later, a member of the secret service appeared at the door of the private room.

"Lord Yun, the Hokage requests your presence."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Yun replied and then disappeared from the spot, while his clone continued drinking.

……

Hokage Building, Office.

As soon as Uchiha Yun entered, he saw two pairs of dark circles staring at him, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

"You spent two days with that person?"

"I spotted him as soon as he entered Konoha. He said he hadn't been here for many years and asked me to entertain him. Considering we're now in a cooperative relationship, so..."

"So you only played for two days, right?"

Shikaku sighed, "Uzumaki Sora can see some information about the future. After a year of reforms, the ninja world has shown initial results, but more and more problems are also emerging."

"Recently, there have been fewer and fewer high-level, high-reward missions. The decrease in wandering ninjas and bandits has led most merchants to only entrust C-level missions, and for short distances, they will even request D-level missions."

Yun across from him shrugged: "So, the ninja profession has become unprofitable?"

Minato, who was leaning back, waved his hand to interrupt Shikaku: "There's no need to ask him about these things."

As he spoke, Minato looked at Yun: "The main reason I asked you to come over first is the issue of balancing forces. The time for the Uzumaki Sora deal is approaching again, and I need to know if you can still maintain a balance with him."

"After all, based on the last transaction, we guessed that you would be handing over Otsutsuki Urashiki to him in the future."

After thinking for a moment, Yun nodded.

"There shouldn't be any major problems. My strength has been improving over the past year, and I've never stopped training to push my physical limits."

These words reassured Minato considerably, even though they shared the same goal and he was certain that an even stronger enemy would emerge in the future.

Based on the decision made by the clouds twenty years later, Konoha made concessions in the Uzumaki Sky deal, but still hoped to maintain the balance.

"Alright, Lord Yun, please continue having fun. We still have work to do."

Uh!

Yun felt a little embarrassed and bowed slightly, saying, "Then I'll trouble you two. I'll go and get that guy over here."

Before Minato could bring up the matter of succeeding as Hokage again, Uchiha Yun disappeared from the spot.

"He runs quite fast, but I'm afraid I'll let him succeed the fifth generation."

"Now I think the Fifth Hokage might not be him. As the top combatant, just being a mascot who eats, drinks, and has fun is probably what he's looking for."

"Then who will replace me?"

"Anyway, it's not Yun. Just look at Little Nine-Tailed Fox; you can actually tell what his inner personality is like."

They had only exchanged a few words when a spatial passage appeared in mid-air above the office building.

After landing inside, Sora Uzumaki waved to the two of them.

"Actually, the speed could be faster, but I wanted to show some respect to our partners, so I deliberately slowed it down."

Minato rubbed his temples: "If you want to show respect, you should use the main entrance. And you shouldn't be playing around for two days before coming here to talk business."

Whirlpool shrugged and casually dragged a chair over to sit down.

"The problems you're facing were actually anticipated from the beginning. I imagine the four great ninja villages are also seeking solutions from you, and that's the biggest pressure."
