Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Was this statement made after that day? For someone to say something like that, the Hokage should be wary.

So... it's also because of this person's existence that Sasuke and the other two surviving Uchiha were able to continue living peacefully in the village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke, paused for a moment, and continued, "Team 7 is special. If the Jinchuriki goes berserk, your Sharingan will be needed to restrain them. And Sasuke Uchiha also needs someone who has seen him before to keep an eye on him."

Kakashi nodded slightly: "Understood."

After Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, Kakashi left.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi lost all interest in continuing his work, stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the village.

It wasn't just that one time at the root...

The message Itachi sent back indicated that the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques could be broken with ease, effortlessly...

And then there's that masked man who calls himself Uchiha Madara; the Nine-Tails' attack twelve years ago already proved his strength...

Even such a being couldn't last a single round against that one, who easily defeated him.

The existence of the magatama, the rescue of the Uchiha Izumi family, and the acquaintance with another Sasuke all point to the fact that he might also be a member of the Uchiha clan.

The truth behind the annihilation of the Uchiha clan...

That person clearly understood the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre, so why didn't he stop it?

Or has the passage between the two worlds been completely closed?

……

root.

In the dimly lit room, Danzo was flipping through the documents in his hands.

A figure knelt in front of him.

"Sir, the negotiations with them have been completed."

Danzo slightly raised his head, a fleeting look of hatred and anger flashing in his eyes.

He then tossed a document over: "Issue the order tomorrow, keep it from the Hokage, and get her out of the village to carry out the mission as quickly as possible."

The masked Genbu knelt with his head bowed and said, "Understood."

After his subordinates left, Danzo could no longer suppress the anger in his eyes.

"boom!"

The arm, restored by the cells in the stalk, fell, and the chopping board piled with documents in front of it snapped in two.

That bastard! That bastard shouldn't show up again!

We've already tested the waters many times...

Sharingan!

And that Mangekyou Sharingan from Kotoamatsukami—that's an ability that only I can possess!

Why? Why hand it over to that idiot Hiruzen who only knows how to back down!

Only I... only I becoming Hokage can make Konoha great again!

Reclaiming those Sharingan eyes, and the Izanagi technique they can unleash, would give him the means to become Hokage.

……

Night falls.

"I am back."

Sasuke changed his shoes and went inside. Dinner was already prepared on the dining table in the living room, and there was even a cake with an unlit candle.

"Sasuke's back! Did you pass today's test? I bought you a cake to celebrate!"

"Sasuke has always been number one in the Ninja Academy, how could he possibly fail?"

Two figures emerged from the kitchen.

Aunt Hazuki took off her apron, came over and ruffled Sasuke's hair: "You're already an adult who's going to become a ninja, you'll be laughed at if you cry."

Izumi, who was standing nearby, said, "I bet the girls at the Ninja Academy would be scrambling to buy photos of Sasuke crying."

Rubbing his sore nose, Sasuke smiled and said, "Thank you..."

Two months after that day, I was semi-forced to come to this new home. It was also because of this new home that I came to understand many things.

But how can I repay such a gift?

Clearly... clearly it was her own brother who slaughtered the entire clan. If it weren't for that person, Izumi-neechan and Hazuki-aunt in front of her would have suffered the same fate.

"Snapped."

Uchiha Izumi reached out and flicked Sasuke's forehead: "I've said it before! We're family, why are we being so polite?"

"Snapped."

Uchiha Hazuki, who was standing nearby, slapped Izumi's hand back: "Don't hurt Sasuke. This is the head of the number one player, the future hope of the Uchiha."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the three remaining Uchiha members of Konoha sat down.

Amidst laughter and joy, only at this moment did Sasuke feel like a real person. He could temporarily forget his pain and enjoy the warmth of human connection.

……

It was late at night.

Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Sasuke were still playing chess in the living room, chatting about everyday things from time to time, looking very harmonious.

But in a completely enclosed room, the same two people appeared.

“Sasuke, you should know that even this isn’t safe. What if the Hyuga clan is among those monitoring us…”

"Sister Izumi... my mentor Jonin is Kakashi."

Sasuke's expression was somewhat agitated: "He helped us before, and although he's definitely here to spy on me now, perhaps we can use him to get the Third Hokage to intervene..."

Before he could finish speaking, Quan shook his head.

"The third generation will not show up."

"Whether that person will reappear is something the Third Hokage also wants to confirm. But he will not take action either; that's his consistent style."

……

Chapter 377: Endurance and Facing Death

That day's memory was the first time Sasuke learned that Konoha had a Root organization, the dark side of Konoha, just like its name suggests, the root beneath the great tree.

All actions that affect the name "Shadow" will have a root.

Shadow, on the other hand, would later say that these things were done by Root.

This is Sasuke's understanding, and it's also the reason why he hates the Third Hokage.

Sasuke clenched his fists and looked at Izumi: "The fear from that person will fade with time, that's what you told me, Izumi-nee. If this continues, if this continues..."

"I will die."

Izumi smiled calmly: "I know Danzo of Root won't give up. He wants to take back those nine Sharingan with three tomoe. More than four years have passed. That intimidation gave me more than four years to live."

"In addition... I also asked my mother. She told me very clearly that I don't have an older brother."

At this point, Izumi smiled and looked at Sasuke, reaching out to ruffle his hair: "When you were little, you would cry if I touched you, but now you've really become my little brother."

At this point, Uchiha Izumi's gaze gradually turned serious.

"That person might be just as we guessed; he's not from this world. Perhaps he exists in another world, and he's my brother from that other world."

“I told you before that it is the most foolish decision to place all your hopes on others. You are the only male remaining in the Uchiha clan, and you need to shoulder the future destiny of this clan.”

“I will bring that Sharingan with nine three-tomoe eyes with me on every mission. Kill me and he will get these things. Izanagi, a technique that can be used once with one Sharingan eye. Remember that.”

"You've gotten what he wanted, and you still haven't shown your eyes. You're no longer worth eliminating, and the Third Hokage is very likely to stop him, because your existence is just a fig leaf for the Uchiha clan's demise."

"You must remember what I said: only by surviving can you have a chance for revenge and ensure that the Uchiha clan continues to exist in this world."

After he finished speaking, both of them fell silent.

Izumi only breathed a sigh of relief when Sasuke nodded heavily, his eyes red-rimmed.

But then he added, "Of course, another situation is also possible..."

Sasuke clenched his fists: "I will protect Aunt Hazuki, even if it costs me my life!!"

"boom."

Sasuke was tapped on the forehead. He looked up and was met with a pair of angry eyes.

"Your mother doesn't need your protection!"

Izumi solemnly said, "If it comes to that point and Danzo and the Third Hokage still refuse to let the Uchiha go, then you must run! Run away at all costs!"

"With the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, you could easily injure even an elite Jonin with a single, unexpected attack! Escape, don't worry about your mother, and don't pay any attention to anyone who tries to stop you by using your mother as a pretext!"

Sasuke, head bowed, eyes bloodshot, said, "I can't do it!"

After a moment of silence, Quan sighed.

“My mother said that if you stayed behind in that situation, she would commit suicide!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke suddenly raised his head.

His pupil power flickered in and out of his eyes as he suppressed the kaleidoscope of emotions that were on the verge of exploding.

Because he knew very well that even at this time, there were still people watching this house from outside.

Finally, the urge to destroy the entire world was gradually suppressed.

Over the course of four years, he has learned how to perform and how to control his emotions.

Standing opposite him, Izumi waited until he calmed down before continuing, "You're a smart child; you should understand why we're doing this. Going back will only lead to your deaths if it really comes to that."

"If we all die, if all the remaining Uchiha die, then the only Uchiha left to live is Uchiha Itachi."

The appearance of this name caused Sasuke to close his eyes.

For more than four years, this name never appeared, because both Izumi-neechan and Hazuki-san were carefully protecting themselves.
