Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Everything changed overnight, and in this situation, she had no idea what she should or could do except take care of Naruto.

After a tantrum, the Third Hokage arrived. He glanced at Sakura, and she wisely withdrew.

The hospital room door closed, and Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed before looking at Naruto.

"Uchiha Sasuke..."

"Grandpa Hokage...is everything Sasuke said...true?"

The conversation, which had just begun, quickly stalled, and the two fell silent for a moment.

Having endured twelve years of humiliation and just a week ago learned of a dark past, Naruto is now filled with many thoughts and questions.

He trusted the Third Hokage, so he wanted to get to the bottom of things.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also thinking a lot at that moment. When he saw Naruto, the words of advice that Kushina and Minato had given him came back to mind.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

There was only one gesture, and then the two fell silent again.

After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, "Root has been destroyed, and Danzo is dead. Sasuke may have told you about these two things. You said that the future of Konoha requires the rot to be completely eradicated so that you can grow better."

……

Chapter 383: Naruto's Determination

The old man and the young man stared at each other in the ward. Naruto, the naive young man, was not afraid, because in his eyes Hiruzen Sarutobi had always been a kind old man.

When he was very young, the whole village hated him, but the old man who was the Hokage looked at him without fear or disgust.

but now……

What Sasuke said... was all true after all.

Danzo of the Root... Those who have died are also like the decay of a great tree.

"Grandpa Hokage..."

"Ok?"

"I will find Sasuke and bring him back!"

The somber atmosphere was broken when Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "There are many things you don't know about this, and Sasuke's strength is already quite formidable. Furthermore, Konoha's relationship with the Uchiha..."

Before he could finish speaking, Naruto cut him off.

"The one who has wronged the Uchiha clan is never Konoha. Shikamaru helped Sasuke, and Ino and Sakura both love Sasuke! The one who has wronged Konoha is Danzo, who is already dead, and..."

"I will definitely become Hokage! When that time comes, Sasuke will definitely be able to come back! We are brothers! He will definitely come back to help me!"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to see the shadow of Minato Namikaze in Naruto.

The same blonde hair, the same confident smile...

Although we don't know where this confidence comes from, such a smile is infectious and can unconsciously inspire trust.

As for the part Naruto didn't finish saying...

As the Hokage, wouldn't everything return to normal after his death?

……

Commercial street.

With his head down and aimless, Kakashi walked toward the memorial stone, staring blankly at his own feet, like a walking corpse.

"Kakashi!"

From the takoyaki shop next door, Might Guy raised his hand and called out.

However, Kakashi acted as if he hadn't heard anything and walked past the shop entrance on his own.

"Kakashi."

A figure blocked his way, and he couldn't ignore the voice.

She slightly raised her head, her reddened eyes still a little swollen.

"sorry."

After hesitating for a long time, all he could offer was this apology, because he really didn't know what else to say.

Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi were in a relationship, something he had known for a long time.

Otherwise, how could a special Jonin who specializes in genjutsu become the mentor Jonin for the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main branch, Inuzuka, and Aburame?

But now, because of his disciple, Asuma is dead, leaving behind only two chakra blades and a handful of ashes.

"I want to know everything about Uchiha Sasuke!"

Kurenai's hands were clenched tightly.

However, Kakashi shook his head slightly and replied in a deep voice, "There's a reason why the Hokage instructed Shikamaru not to tell you. Your genjutsu can't defeat him."

Kurenai Yuhi frowned deeply: "Three tomoe? Even if it's a three-tomoe Sharingan, I still..."

"No."

Kakashi met his gaze: "It's the Mangekyou Sharingan. Four years ago, you brought your Sharingan to this level. Just the eye technique alone has already reached the combat power of an elite Jonin."

For a moment, Kurenai fell silent.

As a special Jonin, she wouldn't act impulsively. She originally wanted to know because Uchiha Sasuke was only twelve years old.

But now... this twelve-year-old Uchiha has become such a prodigy who has committed such terrible deeds.

With a sigh, Kakashi glanced at Guy in the takoyaki shop and was about to leave when he froze on the spot.

Standing next to Akai, the figure holding a takoyaki in one hand was the one he had remembered for four years.

He was talking to Kai at the moment, and when he saw me looking over, he waved to me as if to confirm.

"call……"

Kakashi exhaled, glanced at Kurenai Yuhi, and turned to walk into the shop.

There's no reason for such a being to target Kurenai Yuhi. Even if it were, who could stop it?

"Kakashi, didn't you hear me? You're acting so un-youthful..."

Ignoring Guy's incessant chatter, Kakashi turned his gaze directly to Uchiha Un.

"Your Excellency has appeared again."

Yun raised the takoyaki in his hand: "Take some time to eat something good to satisfy your cravings. After all, Konoha has a lot of delicious food, and its business is doing quite well."

Kakashi asked, "So it was you who made Sasuke make this choice?"

Akai, standing to the side, was a little confused: "Is he an enemy, Kakashi? But I was just having a good chat with him."

As he spoke, Akai also became wary.

He would obviously not choose to trust a stranger he had just met and gotten along with, someone he could become a lifelong friend with.

Kakashi reached out and blocked Guy's way. He knew very well that it would be pointless to attack this person, even if it was Guy.

Uchiha Un's next words confirmed his guess.

"Don't be so nervous... because there's no point in you being nervous."

After finishing the last takoyaki, Uchiha Yun looked at Guy, who was in a starting stance: "The Eight Gates: Death Gate, a forbidden technique, was used by Might Guy to turn the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a bunch of idiots. If you use it, you can temporarily reach the Six Paths level in terms of power, but it's only the first level of Truth-Seeking Balls, which you can't even break through."

"This is a difference in the essential level of life, which you cannot change. Unless you reach the same level and take your physical strength to the next level."

These words stunned Might Guy, who looked at Yun and asked, "Who...who are you anyway?"

Yun shrugged: "I'm just a traveler, I might be leaving soon, so you don't need to worry about it."

As she spoke, Yun looked at Kakashi and said, "Sasuke Uchiha's defection was not arranged by me. Danzo of Root planned to use Kumogakure as a tool to kill people in order to obtain those nine eyes, and he even promised to give away one Sharingan."

"However, since the Hidden Cloud Village wanted to double-cross me, the Fourth Raikage and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki personally took action, so the safety measures arranged by Root were naturally ineffective. Izumi was in danger, so I appeared."

"If Root attacks Izumi, what kind of signal do you think that will send to Sasuke?"

Kakashi remained silent.

The fact that Root attacked Izumi Uchiha naturally indicates that Konoha wants to eliminate the Uchiha clan again, since the Hokage's lack of intervention speaks volumes about his stance.

If I don't want to die, I have no choice but to defect.

But even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, it's clear that leaving directly is impossible for a twelve-year-old to wield such power.

Even if they kill the guards at the gates of Konoha, they will still be killed by the pursuit team during their escape.

Naturally... he thought of the Nine-Tailed Fox inside Naruto.

"Your emotions... are because of Sarutobi Asuma, right? The only surviving son of that old Hokage."

Uchiha Yun smiled and said, "As the son of the Hokage, he is indeed not like his father. He is someone who truly values ​​the future of Konoha."

Kakashi frowned: "Then why..."

Yun replied, "Because his surname is Sarutobi... If it weren't for that surname, where would his fire and wind chakra come from? And where would his chakra blades come from?"

"With every gain comes a price. As the Hokage, did Hiruzen Sarutobi really not realize that Danzo had destroyed the Uchiha clan? However, for him, the destruction of the Uchiha clan was a choice, a good thing."

At this point, Uchiha Un looked directly into Kakashi's eyes.

"Or do you think... that the Uchiha clan, from the elderly to infants as young as one or two, can die, but the Sarutobi clan can't accept the death of Sarutobi Asuma?"

Without any burst of eye power, Kakashi still took two steps back.

He couldn't answer such a question because his left eye wouldn't allow it; it was Obito's eye, and also Uchiha Obito's eye.

At this point, Uchiha Yun smiled knowingly.

"Let me tell you something else."

"Your father, the White Fang of Konoha, made great contributions during the war and was also one of the candidates for the Fourth Hokage. I remember you were instructed by Danzo to sneak into the archives and see these confidential documents, and you were discovered by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Afterwards, he generously let you see them, right?"

"What you see is indeed part of the truth, but what you are not shown is what we really want to hide."

Kakashi asked hoarsely, "And what is the truth...?"

Yun replied, "Prestige and popularity come from military achievements, so naturally public opinion will shift, and Konoha's White Fang will not become Hokage. It's still Danzo doing things, and Hiruzen Sarutobi is slow to realize it. Does this scenario seem familiar?"
