Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

……

The sealed land.

Naruto, who had just regained consciousness, stood up and looked around.

"Is this the stinky fox's territory? How did he end up here again? He was just fighting Sasuke, doesn't that mean he's doomed to lose?"

Naruto, who was talking to himself, was about to go out, but the next second he found that he couldn't seem to get out.

"Uchiha brat?"

"Such evil eye power, is it yours?"

Even the Nine-Tails was shocked by Sasuke's eye power, which contained too much hatred.

Outside the cage, Sasuke looked at the giant fox in front of him: "Such powerful chakra, yet it can only be sealed inside such a small child. Konoha... is indeed not as simple as it seems."

At that moment, Naruto, who was also unable to get out, came over.

"Sasuke? What are you doing here?"

Naruto, surprised, then looked at Kurama: "You stinky fox, are you? You dragged Sasuke into this, hoping he'd help you break the seal?"

Naruto quickly went to Sasuke's side and pulled him aside, saying, "Don't believe this stinky fox! It just wants to come out! Do you know what a demon fox is? Everyone in the village is afraid of this stinky fox!"

……

Chapter 380: Escaping from Konoha

The sealed land.

Fearing that Sasuke had been tricked, Naruto quickly pulled him back, but no matter how hard he tried, Sasuke didn't budge.

"asshole!"

Naruto panicked and pulled out a kunai, throwing it at Kurama.

"boom."

As soon as the kunai leaped over the cage, it was blasted away by one of the Nine-Tails' claws.

"It's definitely you, you filthy fox! Let Sasuke go right now! Otherwise, I'll never let you out!"

With its two claws supporting its head, Kurama ignored Naruto's insults and instead looked at Sasuke Uchiha with a light laugh.

At that moment, Sasuke also looked at Naruto beside him.

"Naruto."

"Huh? Sasuke, you're alright?! That's great!"

"Hey? What happened to your eyes? They're so beautiful!"

In Sasuke's pupils, the six-pointed Mangekyou Sharingan appeared and slowly rotated.

Instead of answering his question about his eyes, she said, "Four years ago, I cautiously paid attention to you, as a classmate."

"You're hated by everyone in the village, and nobody's willing to sell you anything. They'll kick you out the door and call you a nine-tailed fox demon..."

"Never hated any of this...?"

Naruto paused, completely forgetting what he was about to do, and instead began to think seriously.

After a moment, Naruto shrugged: "Of course I hated it! That's why I want everyone to agree with me. I'm sure I can become Hokage!"

"Besides... not everyone hates me! Shikamaru and Choji, Hinata, Iruka-sensei, you Sasuke, Sakura! And now Kakashi-sensei..."

"None of you hate me because of this stinky fox, and I've always considered you my best friends and teachers, so I'm not alone!"

Naruto raised his hand and clenched it into a fist: "I will definitely work hard to become Hokage, and then everyone will recognize me!"

"Oh right, and there's also Grandpa Hokage!"

"Grandpa Hokage was very kind to me. He would treat me to grilled fish and tell me about the Will of Fire. He was the Hokage who protected everyone in the village, the Hokage who was recognized by everyone!"

"In the future... I will definitely protect everyone just like him!"

Naruto's smile was genuine, but Sasuke clearly sensed the sinister undertone within it.

For twelve years, he was hated by everyone; no one could truly ignore it or forget it completely.

He cherishes all his friends, and he would even want to protect himself immediately.

But it is precisely because it is hard-won that we cherish it.

"Naruto..."

"what?"

"If the Third Hokage and the village's higher-ups all wanted to kill you, would you resist?"

This statement stunned Naruto.

Coming to his senses, he chuckled sheepishly and waved his hand, "How could that be? Grandpa Hokage is a very kind person, why would he want to kill me?"

Sasuke asked intently, "What if? Would you stand still and let them kill you, or would you fight back with all your might?"

After he finished speaking, Naruto fell silent, his brows furrowed and his smile vanished.

He's not stupid; in fact, he's even more quick-witted in urgent situations.

Grandpa Hokage... wants to kill Sasuke?

Why? How is that possible?

He didn't say anything stupid like taking Sasuke to confront the Third Hokage, because he wasn't stupid.

He had always known that Sasuke was very smart, ranked first in his grade, and whose words and actions even earned Shikamaru's approval.

So... did the Hokage really want to kill Sasuke?

A moment later, Naruto's eyes were filled with determination.

"I will resist!"

Sasuke nodded, preparing to make his move...

"Sasuke, how can I help you?"

Sasuke was taken aback by these words, and looked at Naruto with a furrowed brow: "Help me... If you help me, you might die, and many parts of Konoha will be destroyed."

"The Third Hokage may not die, but Sakura, Hinata, Shikamaru, Choji, and even Iruka and Kakashi may die."

After saying that, Naruto hesitated.

Sasuke chuckled dismissively at this expression: "So now... do you think I should just stand there and let myself be killed? Or should I fight back with all my might and use every means at my disposal?"

Naruto remained silent.

After a long pause, he raised his head and looked at Sasuke with a furrowed brow: "You're going to release it, aren't you?"

Sasuke nodded.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Naruto said firmly, "Not in Konoha, I'll help you!"

These words made Sasuke's heart tremble, but what followed was the responsibility left behind after the annihilation of his entire clan and the opportunity that Izumi had bought with her death.

"That's impossible. If I can get out, I won't need your help."

At this moment, the Nine-Tails, who had been watching the show from inside the cage, finally spoke.

"Twelve years have passed, and the weakening of the seal has shown me something."

"The Uchiha clan was wiped out, leaving only you and a woman. It's impossible for Konoha to have been completely unaware of such an operation."

"So now that things have been exposed, you're trying to eliminate them completely? You're quite cunning, aren't you? You've been hiding those eyes all this time, just waiting for this day?"

Sasuke looked at Kurama: "You've been sealed away by Konoha for so many years, imprisoned in this small cage. Don't you want revenge?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto looked blankly at him.

Then it slowly walked to the cage and floated up.

With a single reach, he tore off the sealed paper talisman.

But beneath the paper talisman, a vortex-like seal remained. Without the key, and lacking proficiency in sealing techniques, Sasuke was clearly unable to break it.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing the Uchiha brat in front of him looking completely bewildered, the Nine-Tails in the cage burst into laughter.

"Didn't expect that, did you? This is a seal set up by the Fourth Hokage. If it could be broken simply by tearing open the cursed seal talisman, that would be far too easy!"

Sasuke shook his head with a wry smile. If that were the case, then the Nine-Tails card would be useless.

"Uchiha brat."

The Nine-Tails in the cage stood up, and streams of crimson chakra began to fill the entire space.

"You're absolutely right. Ever since that bastard Hashirama Senju, I've been sealed away in this cramped place by Konoha!"

"Such hatred! Why can't I make a huge scene!"

Kurama's vertical pupils stared directly at Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan: "You're still quite inexperienced in using these eyes, but since you've already controlled this brat, that's enough."

"Let him in, and then... let's have a huge fight!"

"Make Konoha pay the price! Let that bastard Fourth Hokage see that the village he protected with his life will ultimately be destroyed by me!"

……

In reality, Sasuke, who caught Naruto's fist, paused for a moment before flinging it away.

The six-pointed star kaleidoscope slowly rotated, and Sakura, who was watching from the sidelines, glanced over and quickly disappeared from view.

He picked him up and turned to look at the woods outside the training ground.

"Shhhh..."

Three figures appeared and landed from two directions, and Sasuke smiled.

How arrogant and conceited!

Two members of Danzo's Root organization and one member of the Anbu who obeyed the Third Hokage's orders rushed out without leaving any observers behind.
