Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Turning around, Yun looked at Ino, who was clearly wearing makeup.

I was thinking too much just now. The person behind me didn't mean any harm, so I didn't pay much attention to their presence.

"Ino, is something the matter?"

If it were anyone else, a brief question would probably have ended the conversation immediately.

However, Ino had gone to great lengths to obtain information about the cloud's whereabouts from Naruto, so how could she possibly give up just because nothing happened?

"What was Brother Yun thinking just now? He didn't even notice me."

Ino said, and followed him, walking side by side with Yun on the road.

"It's not that we didn't notice it, but we sensed no malice, so we ignored it."

Yun didn't mention what she was thinking about, then changed the subject and asked, "I heard that Naruto proposed to Hinata?"

Ino nodded, a hint of envy in her eyes: "I never thought Naruto could be so romantic. Sakura is so envious. I went to arrange flowers that day too."

"And Sasuke was assigned to set fires, Sai was assigned to set off fireworks in the sky, and Shino and Torune were assigned to release butterflies..."

Ino's voice grew softer and softer; though she kept rambling on, it soon seemed she didn't know what else to say.

The two walked from the research department to the commercial street.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.

"Want some takoyaki? It's on me."

"Oh? Okay, thank you."

A little embarrassed, Ino quickly agreed.

Does that count as a date?

After paying, they took two servings of takoyaki, gave one to Ino, and then sat down next to the shop.

Drinking two cups of tea did indeed give the impression of a date.

"I remember the first time I met you, Ino, it was when I went to your family's flower shop to buy flowers, right..."

"Yes. I remember it very clearly."

"Back then, Ino was still hiding behind your mother. Now... she's already a Jonin."

"Because...because I've always wanted to catch up with you, so I've tried very, very hard..."

Ino seemed to want to prove herself, so she immediately talked about many techniques that she could do now, including helping her father build the Konoha Barrier and then communicate instantly after sensing it.

There's also the combined tactical training of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and now, his secret arts training under his father's guidance.

After saying it all in one breath...

Ino lowered her head and, seemingly out of nowhere, produced a bouquet of flowers and handed it to him.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

The words I wanted to say seem impossible to utter now.

Yun paused for a moment, then reached out and took the flowers: "I've never had a girl give me flowers before. Although I don't really know the language of flowers, I only know that I should buy some chrysanthemums when I go to the memorial."

The words were spoken, but there was no reply from the other side for a long time.

At this moment, Ino's heart was about to explode. Although she had long since outgrown the reckless mentality she had right after graduation, things were still...

"what happened?"

"Um...did Yun accept my confession?"

"Hmm. I accept. No one could possibly refuse a girl as beautiful as Ino, right?"

is it beautiful?

Ino lowered her head, looking somewhat lost.

Finally, my own flower is about to bloom. The person I've always loved has accepted my confession.

There has never been a time when I was more tense than now.

"Yun-jun, let's go on a date!"

"Aren't we already on a date?"

As Yun spoke, she looked outside the shop, where several small heads were constantly peeking out from around the door frame.

As he looked over, he saw a scene of chaos: people were falling over, some even bumping into the owner's grill, and they were apologizing profusely.

……

Chapter 402: Pressure from Mother

"So... Ino really succeeded?"

"Ah, according to my information, it seems that Brother Yun has really agreed."

"No matter how I look at it... it seems very casual. This kind of behavior is really not like a teacher's style."

"But Brother Yun is already twenty-five, surely he'll have a girl he likes, right? And Ino is trying so hard to win him over..."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto: "Although some things are inappropriate to say, do you really think that the power Brother Yun possesses can be achieved simply through hard work?"

These words shut Naruto up.

Now that he's twenty years old, everything he's seen and heard over the years tells him that it's impossible.

Let alone reaching Brother Yun's level, even someone like myself and Sasuke would probably find it impossible.

Is Xiao Li working hard?

He pushes himself to his limits day after day. Every time I see him, he's either on a mission or practicing physical skills. He has very little free time.

However, the Eight Gates, a forbidden technique, truly surpasses the level of a Kage, and opening the Gate of Death requires exchanging one's life.

To exhaust one's entire life to bloom once, requiring daily effort, seems far too realistic compared to innate talent and bloodline.

At this moment, Hinata spoke up, "Naruto-kun... if... if Ino and Sensei get married, what should we call Ino?"

⊙_⊙×2

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto and Sasuke were stunned.

It seems like... I've suddenly become a generation younger for no reason!

Although they sometimes call him Brother Yun, his status as their teacher is undeniable. Both of them have grown to where they are today thanks to his guidance.

"Let each of you just do your own thing."

A voice came from the side, and Naruto and Sasuke were stunned because they hadn't noticed that there was another person at the Shadow Rock.

"It's Yakumo-neechan."

Hinata waved her hand: "Yakumo-neechan's genjutsu is getting more and more powerful. I almost didn't notice it just now."

As the paintbrush swept across the room, a gentle breeze swept by, causing the trees behind the shadowy rock to rustle.

Yakumo then put away his paintbrush, looked at Hinata and smiled: "You noticed me from the very beginning."

Then he looked at the other two: "The Sharingan and the Perfect Jinchuriki, both of these powers can actually detect my presence, but your vigilance is too poor."

Naruto, standing to the side, pouted: "What's wrong with you... There's no danger in the village, why are you so nervous?"

Sasuke remained silent, somewhat surprised by the unusual breeze he had just encountered in his three-tomoe Sharingan.

Yakumo Kurama, hailed as a new generation genius of genjutsu, even surpassed the Uchiha clan in the art of genjutsu.

Creating form from nothingness, the opponent's artwork utilized Yin-attribute chakra to an absurd degree.

"That girl named Ino is the daughter of Inoichi, a Jonin of the Yamanaka clan, right?"

Yakumo thought for a moment and then said, "As a boy, there's no reason to refuse a beautiful girl who has always liked him. After all... a teacher probably doesn't want to see such a girl heartbroken."

Hinata seemed lost in thought, while Sasuke frowned beside her.

Naruto said casually, "I wonder if my teacher will get married with me. I was a huge help!"

Yakumo shook his head slightly: "No. Teacher has something very heavy on his mind. I've been able to feel it for the past five years."

After speaking, Yakumo stood up, packed up his easel, and glanced at the three of them.

"Sometimes talent and bloodline are indeed important, but if a genius doesn't work hard, when he is finally powerless, he may not even be able to catch up with the final bloom of the Eight Gates."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yakumo's reincarnation departed, his figure vanishing without a trace.

"Amazing!" Naruto exclaimed.

"She is the only one in this generation of the Kurama clan to awaken the bloodline and surpass her ancestors."

Sasuke looked in the direction Yakumo had left: "I've seen some things about her before. Perhaps she's right about her sensitivity to the heart. We heard the conversation between Otsutsuki Toneri and Brother Yun, didn't we?"

For a moment, Naruto fell silent.

With his brows furrowed, he wasn't heartless; he just always felt that there was someone he could rely on.

Whether it's the father of the Fourth Hokage, or Brother Kumo, or even Uzumaki Sora, whose attitude now seems to be cooperating with the higher-ups.

Whether it's a god or a celestial being, there's always someone holding the fort.

A person's character is influenced by both their nature and their environment. In this world, Naruto has had it too easy, so much so that he unknowingly gained his current power.

Sasuke experienced the Limited Tsukuyomi, Hinata experienced the lows and the rise to determination, but he has always had a smooth journey.

"Little brat."

Naruto, with his eyes closed, arrived at the sealed land. There were no more cages here, only the Nine-Tails resting.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"There are heavenly beings and gods."

Naruto paused, then asked, "If... even Brother Lianyun and Dad can't help, what can I do?"

Nine-Tailed Fox scoffed: "No one has ever believed from the beginning that they are the savior, not even the old man back then."

"But this world doesn't just belong to Uchiha Yun. It belongs to you, Uchiha boy, Hinata, and all of humanity and all beings with consciousness."

"The guy who clenched his fist and said he would keep his word back then has become increasingly blurry over the years... Naruto."
