Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Compared to Konoha or Sunagakure, the Fourth Raikage was indeed reckless, severing his arm as soon as Amaterasu touched it, but his treatment of Jinchuriki was completely different from that of Konoha and Sunagakure.

Even in the Hidden Cloud Village, where there is something like the True Waterfall, a perfect Jinchūriki still requires the Jinchūriki to have positive emotions.

Not far away.

Gaara, who was going berserk, was persuaded by Temari and Kankuro with a plan. Shukaku, who was inside Gaara, did not take the opportunity to go berserk and cause trouble because of the illusion.

So the three from Sunagakure left, and neither Omoi nor Karui, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, dared to force them to stay.

"The One-Tailed Jinchuriki was arranged by Sunagakure to participate in the Joint Chunin Exams held by Konoha. There are too many problems here. What does Sunagakure want to do?"

Karui frowned as he spoke.

Sasuke, standing to the side, looked in the direction where the three Sand Village members had disappeared: "The Land of Wind has always been eyeing the Land of Fire. It's not surprising that they want to do something."

"This is such a hassle..."

Omoi sighed and looked at the two of them: "This situation needs to be reported to Lord Yugito. If things get chaotic, we might get killed if we're involved."

At that moment, Sasuke's Sharingan suddenly turned to look behind him.

After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Come out. You've gotten too close."

As soon as he finished speaking, Omoi and Karui immediately went on alert.

A few seconds later, three people emerged from the woods.

"The Hyuga clan?"

Neji Hyuga, who was in charge, nodded: "Sasuke Uchiha, I want to fight you."

Omoi gripped his longsword tightly: "First, a One-Tailed Jinchuriki appeared, and now it's the Hyuga clan. We're being watched."

Sasuke ignored him and looked at Neji, saying, "I see envy in you..."

Envy?

Hyuga Neji assumed a fighting stance: "I do envy you very much, which is why I want to find a match to fight. The Sharingan's genjutsu of the Uchiha clan is very strong, but it is not invincible to me."

In dynamic visual mode, a figure rapidly approaches.

They tried to dodge using their speed, but the other party seemed to have anticipated their move.

"Oh!"

He unleashed the power of his Sharingan, which was aimed at the meridians with both hands.

"Om..."

Chakra suddenly erupted from all the pressure points in his body, and a semi-circular chakra wave sent Sasuke flying.

Illusion... Released!

Ninja battles are often unpredictable. It's not uncommon for a Chunin or Genin to defeat a Jonin using secret techniques or a burst of bloodline limit.

Sasuke has changed a lot in the past four years, but his inherent arrogance as an Uchiha remains.

Facing Hyuga Neji, he didn't activate his Mangekyou Sharingan, and he was even somewhat careless in that attack just now.

Sasuke slowly rose and looked at Neji Hyuga: "Is this a secret technique of the Hyuga clan? It combines offense and defense. If it weren't for the Sharingan, it probably wouldn't have been so simple just now."

"A sudden, intense burst of chakra is the best way for a single person to break a genjutsu. But breaking a genjutsu enhanced by the Sharingan is not so easy. Is it a secret technique unique to the Hyuga clan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning began to crackle around Sasuke's body.

"Shh!"

"Oh!"

The two collided again, and Neji, who had dodged the kunai, struck with a palm.

After avoiding the meridians, Sasuke kicked out, and the two became entangled in a struggle, relying on their respective eyes.

Just as Omoi and Karui were about to make their move, they were stopped by Lee.

"As Kai-sensei said, youth is about forging ahead! As a comrade, I won't allow anyone to interfere with Neji's challenge. If you insist on intervening, I will stop you even if it costs me my life."

Omoi drew his long sword: "You can't stop us. Ordinary ninjas have no chance against us."

Is that so?

Li smiled, slightly raising his head: "To protect my comrades, even Teacher Kai wouldn't say anything to me. Day after day of training is all for protecting the people I cherish!"

As he spoke, Xiao Li had already taken off the weights and thrown them down.

"boom!"

The appearance of two small pits stunned the two people from Yunyin.

What kind of pervert is this...?

With such a heavy load, it would probably be difficult to even walk.

……

Byakugan, Kaiten, and Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm are all that Hyuga Neji currently possesses. Among them, Kaiten is unique to the Hyuga main family, and as a member of the branch family, he can only explore it through his own talent.

If it were Sasuke before he went to Kumogakure, and he didn't use his Mangekyou Sharingan to bully others, the outcome would be uncertain.

but now……

With the Lightning Release Chakra Mode initially formed and the nature changes of Lightning Release Chakra gradually mastered, dynamic vision combined with speed and power surpassing his own limits meant that the caged bird had no chance of winning.

And this is all based on the premise that Sasuke did not use the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Amaterasu's fire was used very few times, and Kagutsuchi even less often, but every time Sasuke used it, he felt his body's inadequacy.

Every time the Mangekyou Sharingan is used, it puts a burden on the body. Only the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can prevent the eyes from going blind.

Looking at Hyuga Neji, whose body was trembling but who still tried to stand up, Sasuke felt as if he were seeing his past self from four years ago.

If it weren't for Izumi-neechan back then, I might have ended up like this too.

"You and I are very similar..."

"Hehe... but you escaped your predetermined fate, I really envy you! Although there are definitely things I don't know about..."

"The Hyuga and Uchiha are not the same, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hyuga Neji raised his hand: "It's different. Even if your entire clan is wiped out, you can still choose your own path. But I'm different; I've never had the right to choose for myself."

A figure landed beside Hyuga Neji, his body radiating violent chakra, which drew the attention of Uchiha Sasuke.

"Neji, how is it?"

"Let's go."

"Huh?"

The three-person team quickly left, while Omoi and Karui, who had been beaten up, sustained some injuries.

"That kid's physical skills are strange!"

"The teacher's swordsmanship is very good, but once the opponent unleashes his power, we can't keep up with his speed at all."

"This must be a secret taijutsu technique from Konoha..."

"Damn it, once I master Lightning Release Chakra Mode, I'll definitely beat him!"

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at the two men with bruised and swollen faces: "He opened the Eight Gates. My Sharingan can see some of it. When the first two gates were opened, his chakra exploded. It's normal that you couldn't keep up."

Eight Gates?

The concept of the Eight Gates is not unique to Konoha; all ninja villages have studied the existence of such limiters within the human body.

Omoi rubbed his bluish lips: "No wonder those guys ran so fast. No matter what kind of secret technique it was, the chakra that burst out after the limiter was turned off would temporarily render him unable to fight."

Karui's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Shall we chase after them? This kind of secret technique is exactly what the village needs."

Sasuke shook his head. "We have no idea how many limiters they can unlock, and this is Konoha, we can't take them back. You just said that yourselves, have you forgotten?"

After saying that, the two looked dejected.

……

The second Chunin Exam ended quickly.

After Orochimaru, who had disguised himself as a Grass Ninja using the Face-Changing Technique, made his exit, Gaara was on the verge of losing control, and Sasuke and the others went to the tower...

With the encirclement no longer looming with overwhelming force, those who were capable of passing through naturally completed the second test.

As for the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, Shikamaru can take a look at them now, but Choji and Ino are too timid and have become mere bystanders.

As for Team 7, although they had hoped to meet Sasuke as soon as they entered the arena, it was clear that Naruto and the others had missed the Cloud Village.

……

"boom!"

A corpse slid off the lab table, and Orochimaru frowned deeply.

"It still doesn't work. The improvement of the Impure World Reincarnation technique is still not complete."

Kabuto, who was quietly recording the experimental data, glanced at Orochimaru and said, "Perhaps the problem lies with the materials; they can't withstand the strain."

Orochimaru licked his lips: "Kabuto. Is everything ready?"

Kabuto bowed slightly: "Orochimaru-sama is ready. Everything is also ready on the Sunagakure side."

Orochimaru laughed, "Konoha is already rotten. Letting the old man die on the battlefield is a kind of mercy, isn't it?"

……

A week later, the knockout stage was held as scheduled.

The ninjas participating in the competition and their respective coaching Jonin were standing in the stands, and Darui was among them.

Sasuke has been informed of Darui and Yugito's actions regarding Sunagakure, while the message from Kumogakure is to wait and see.

With Yugito, the perfect Jinchūriki, on the side, the safety of Kumogakure should be assured. If Sunagakure and Konoha suffer heavy losses later, then Kumogakure will likely take action.

However, if neither side suffers significant losses in the end, then there is no need to take action.

Once war breaks out, it's truly uncertain who will ultimately win or lose.

In the stands, Uchiha Yun, who was hiding his figure, glanced at the list of opponents. It was pretty much the same as he remembered. The elimination rounds were meant to kick out the smaller ninja villages.

As members of major ninja villages, the genin of Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure all have the opportunity to demonstrate their strength and bring in requests for help for their respective villages.
