Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"Brother..."

"Shh."

Before he could even give an order, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

……

In Konoha, after the Uchiha clan was wiped out by Itachi Uchiha, the three remaining Uchiha were relocated to another residence.

Perhaps because of the intimidation posed by the man from four years ago, or perhaps to be closer for surveillance, this family's residence was arranged in a relatively prosperous location.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped in his tracks just as he reached the doorway.

The smell of blood...

The smell of blood emanating from inside the house was faint, but it made Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, hesitate to proceed.

Has Danzo already made his move?

Or has Uchiha Hazuki already committed suicide?

Regardless of which one it is, if that person reappears in the future, Konoha will inevitably be implicated.

At this moment, even Asuma's death no longer affected him.

The fate of the entire Hidden Leaf Village is at stake; someone who can sit idly by and watch their clan be wiped out won't care much.

"Since you're already here, why are you just standing at the door in a daze?"

The sudden sound coming from inside the house through the door startled Hiruzen Sarutobi. He would never forget that sound, because it was that same sound that had told him...

Killing a shadow is not much harder than blowing a breath.

So... did it still happen?

"call……"

After exhaling, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmed himself, gripped the handle, and pushed towards the door.

"Ok?"

Is it locked?

"squeak……"

The door was pushed open, and Uchiha Izumi looked at the old man in front of her.

"It opens outwards, it's not locked, you have to pull it."

A simple explanation, without the slightest fear.

For four years, the old man in front of her had instilled too much fear in her, but now she was no longer afraid.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, still looking solemn, turned to the side and walked in.

Five masked Roots lay on the ground, their necks broken. One of them had clearly been struck, and the blood oozing from the corner of its mouth was the source of the recent bloody smell.

"We happened to run into each other on our way here."

Uchiha Yun looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "It seems that because they heard Sasuke awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, they received orders to take Uchiha Hazuki to Root."

"Hokage, what do you think your old friend's purpose is?"

There was no burst of eye power, but facing those eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi made no attempt to explain himself.

"For... the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

Uchiha Yun chuckled softly: "That's why I've always felt you don't deserve to sit in this position. You've been tolerant of Danzo, but you've dealt a heavy blow to the powerful new forces."

After a pause, Yun continued, "I gave Izumi the nine Sharingan left behind by the Uchiha clan. He endured for four years, and his fear of me gradually dissipated. Of course, the same goes for you."

“Forcing Izumi to carry out several missions was a test of me. After that, to be on the safe side, he thought that Kumogakure could take the blame for him. He was too greedy.”

"And greedy people usually don't have a good ending."

Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists.

With this person's appearance, Uchiha Hazuki will surely be safe.

The three remaining members of the Uchiha clan are all still alive.

"Why didn't you stop Uchiha Sasuke? Everything was originally..."

Why stop it?

Yun looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a mocking expression: "Your son is dead, isn't he? His body is nowhere to be found."

These words were like a sharp blade, piercing Hiruzen Sarutobi's chest once again.

"Although death is common for ninjas, the death of your own son must have some impact on you, right..."

“Without experiencing it firsthand, I’m afraid you can’t understand this kind of pain. After all, four years ago, the entire Uchiha clan was slaughtered, and even women and children were not spared.”

At this point, Uchiha Yun stood up and slowly walked to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"You know who spread the rumors about the White Fang mission's failure, you also know that Root didn't do anything during the Nine-Tails' rampage, and that the Uchiha clan's support was restricted by Root..."

"You also have your own sources of information about the Cloud Village's abduction of the Hyuga main family's daughter and Danzo's threat to Shisui."

“Leave the dark things to Root. As the Shadow, you need to bask in the sunlight, so you chose to stand by and watch, at most uttering a few angry words after it was over, and then everything went back to normal.”

Yun looked out the open door...

"I originally thought that following the established path would be most beneficial to me, but now I've discovered that... whether the root exists or not doesn't seem to make much of a difference."

At this point, Yun turned to Quan and said, "Take good care of Mother. After I deal with all that trash, I'll take you away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally reacted.

"The Uchiha are from Konoha!"

Yun looked at him and said, "Do you know what kind of person is the most annoying? When you want to reason with them, they want to use force, and when you want to use force, they want to reason with you."

In an instant, the red Rinnegan with six tomoe appeared.

……

Chapter 382: Liquidation

The spatial passage opened, and Uchiha Un stepped directly into it.

After he disappeared, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was still standing at the door, trembled slightly.

Those eyes just now...

It also has the ability to open up spaces...

That was a suppression from the level of life itself, a feeling that even the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha had never experienced.

Slightly raising his head, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Izumi Uchiha in front of him.

"Does the Hokage think it's due to my brother's negligence to leave my mother and me here alone?"

After finishing her sentence, Izumi glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then turned and went into her room. She still had to take care of her mother, who was already determined to die.

His forehead was covered in cold sweat. After a long while, he sighed softly and turned to leave.

He thanked Uchiha Izumi for the reminder. Just a moment ago, for the sake of the survival of Root and whether the Uchiha could remain in Konoha, he was indeed considering whether the other party had been negligent.

But when Uchiha Izumi said those words, it was clearly a reminder, and also a way of preventing any further complications.

The question of who was right and who was wrong between Konoha and the Uchiha clan is no longer meaningful to her. After four years of uncertainty, all she wants now is peace and stability.

But what happens after things settle down?

After the Uchiha clan left Konoha, Izumi Uchiha knew everything that happened that day, and knew the roles she and Root played in the Uchiha massacre.

It's impossible not to feel resentment...

Sasuke Uchiha spared Kakashi and Shikamaru, and even Kotetsu and Izumo Kamizuki didn't die, but he killed Asuma...

The seeds of hatred were sown four years ago, and once they took root and sprouted, no one could know what the future held.

The Uchiha clan, who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of eight, possessed a talent that could not be described as merely genius.

And what about Itachi Uchiha...?

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Eternal Kaleidoscope? That one, which only Madara Uchiha has succeeded with so far, must have been planned by Itachi Uchiha.

Having reached the level of Madara Uchiha, how will Sasuke Uchiha seek revenge in the future...?

Konoha, the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan... these would probably all be his targets.

With that thought in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly teleported towards the Root base.

……

at the same time.

The spatial passage opened, and Uchiha Yun appeared alone in a dark study.

Silently, Danzo still looked over, and Uchiha Yun didn't seem to be trying to hide anything.

"Someone like you hasn't appeared for four years, but you always show up to cause trouble at crucial moments. So... have you been observing this world all along?"

Danzo put down the scroll in his hand and looked directly at Uchiha Un.

He did not panic, nor did he kneel down and beg for mercy.

As a person in a superior position, neither dignity nor power allowed him to do so, and he did not even allow Yamanaka Kaze and Aburame to retrieve the roots.

Seeing his attitude, Uchiha Yun was not surprised.

"I originally planned to let you live for another five years. The destruction of the Uchiha clan began with you, so it would be just right for you to be killed by Uchiha Sasuke five years later."

"But you're so disobedient..."

Danzo's eyes gleamed with barely concealed rage.

disobedient?

Such words are like those used to describe a child, and no superior would remain unperturbed by them.

"Everything I've done is for Konoha! The Uchiha rebellion has been brewing for a while now. If we don't act first, Konoha will suffer heavy losses!"
