Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kumogakure may become the center of the five great ninja villages, and Kumogakure may be able to obtain a special central position after the war.

But all of this is predicated on the premise that the world will not be destroyed by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"I understand."

The Fourth Raikage said, "After this, we do need to give Konoha an explanation. The training at the Waterfall of Truth, which will allow the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to become a perfect Jinchuriki, will be a good explanation."

At this moment, Azabu hesitated and said, "Won't... make Konoha's power too strong?"

Sasuke looked over: "If Konoha has any ambitions, Naruto's personality will be its biggest weakness. And after the war... if we can win, the new order won't be one where strength reigns supreme from the start."

The two people opposite seemed to be deep in thought, but they were both intelligent and could understand Sasuke's meaning.

At that moment, a paper butterfly was fluttering outside the barrier, but no matter what it did, it could not fly in.

……

Outside Konoha Village, in a giant tree formed of paper.

"The Shadows of Kumogakure are very careful. They have set up a barrier around their residence. Although we can tell that they are discussing something, we don't know the specifics."

The weakened Nagato asked, "Has the identity of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki been confirmed?"

Konan replied, "It is indeed the Eight-Tails' chakra, and it has already entered Konoha."

Nagato closed her eyes.

He also suspected Yunyin's intentions, which is why he asked Xiaonan to confirm his identity repeatedly.

"The Fourth Raikage, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Sasuke Uchiha, and to prevent us from directly destroying Kumogakure, we've also added Mabui, who can use space-time ninjutsu."

"The purpose of Kumogakure is to place the battlefield in Konoha, so as to reduce the losses of Kumogakure and also to borrow the power of Konoha because of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"But all these preparations... will ultimately be no match for the power of God."

Xiao Nan frowned.

The battle outside Kumogakure effectively exposed the Akatsuki's strength and a large portion of their intelligence.

Battles in the ninja world are never a matter of constant strength or weakness; intelligence plays a significant role in these battles.

Hidan's special ability, if not seen through by that Uchiha brat, would have been able to kill the Fourth Raikage.

Similarly, if the abilities of the Six Paths of Pain are not exposed, they can also have a surprising effect when suddenly revealed.

But now...

“That guy has been hiding himself in the shadows. Now that only the Eight-Tailed Beast and the Nine-Tailed Beast remain, it’s a bit unreasonable for him to continue hiding.”

Nagato looked at Konan: "Those who hide in the shadows will eventually not escape the judgment of the gods."

Konan replied, "But he also needs to contribute to the peace of God, even if he really is Uchiha Madara!"

The debate in the name of God led Nagato to listen to Konan's opinion for the first time.

Not only was this the first time Xiao Nan had expressed his opinion, but he also felt that the person's constant hiding behind God was too provocative.

……

Konoha, commercial street.

"So Sasuke is back!?"

Amidst the gasps of surprise, Sakura, who was with Naruto, became alert.

He looked at Ino and said, "Ino-boo, what do you want to do?"

Ino waved her hand: "We've all grown up now, and we think about things differently. Don't worry, I don't like him anymore. With Asuma-sensei's death and the Sarutobi clan's involvement, there's no possibility of anything happening between us."

These words relieved Sakura.

Naruto looked at Shikamaru uneasily: "Um... Sasuke is visiting on behalf of Kumogakure this time, Shikamaru, you should know that, right?"

"call……"

Shikamaru exhaled: "Asuma-sensei is different from the Third Hokage, which is the root cause of my hatred. But since he has come on behalf of Kumogakure, there is naturally nothing anyone can do."

"And in fact, I can now understand why he needed to be so resolute back then."

Choji, munching on potato chips, asked in confusion, "So...we have to forgive him?"

Shikamaru shook his head: "Our positions are different, so there's no question of forgiveness. He had his reasons for the annihilation of the Uchiha clan. Asuma was our first teacher, and Sarutobi was a witness to the Ino-Shika-Cho friendship."

"We have our own stance, let alone forgiveness. If forgiveness is impossible, then we'll cooperate from Konoha's perspective."

Ino sighed, "That's why I said it's absolutely impossible. After all, we're not children anymore, are we?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.

Both Shikamaru and Sasuke are his friends.

"I was thinking of having a barbecue together, since we're all friends who graduated together. But now it seems like that's not going to happen."

Shikamaru waved his hand and prepared to leave with Ino and Choji.

"We can't go because of our positions, so we can only apologize to Naruto. However, since Sasuke represents Kumogakure, we naturally won't target him."

After the others left, Naruto could only look at Sakura and ask, "How about... we go find Sasuke?"

Sakura nodded repeatedly, naturally not objecting.

Of course, she would prefer that Naruto call Sasuke out and then just leave so she could go on her date.

……

One day later, at the Hokage Building.

"Why did it take you a month to arrive, you idiot?"

Outside the window, Jiraiya leaped into the office from the toad that had come through the psychic connection. He said helplessly, "Some things happened on the way back that delayed me."

Tsunade glanced at him: "If your reason is still creative inspiration, I think you might as well go to the hospital and rest for two days."

Uh!

Jiraiya unconsciously took two steps back, his mind naturally recalling the memory of almost dying.

"I obtained information left behind by Itachi Uchiha."

"Ok?"

"He should be dead by now, but I obtained information about the Akatsuki organization based on the guidance."

Jiraiya sighed, then took out a scroll and handed it to Tsunade.

Once opened, it contained detailed information about the abilities of Akatsuki members, some speculations about the Akatsuki leader, and speculations about the masked man's abilities.

After looking at it for a long time, Tsunade looked up and asked in confusion, "How could he... give you something like this? Someone who would destroy a clan for power."

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade: "There are too many things hidden in the Uchiha annihilation incident. Among them... there is a very special one."

As he spoke, another scroll was handed over.

"According to Itachi's intelligence, the Nine-Tails attack was carried out by that Akatsuki member who called himself Madara Uchiha. However, the old man and Danzo believed that the Uchiha were highly suspicious, so they forced them to move their clan's territory away from the center of Konoha."

"After that, the seeds of hatred accumulated day by day, and because the Uchiha clan was isolated, a series of voices calling for a coup began to emerge within the clan."

"Clearly... the old man hesitated. Or rather, he wanted to solve the Uchiha problem, but he didn't want to become the falling blade himself."

Tsunade took the scroll but hadn't opened it yet. She frowned and replied, "So Danzo made a move? In the end, the old man said a few lukewarm words, stripped Danzo of some of his authority to consolidate his power, and then nothing happened?"

Jiraiya nodded: "Danzo gouged out Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan and told Uchiha Itachi to slaughter his entire clan."

“The really important intelligence is coming. Take a look at the scroll first.”

Tsunade didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, but half a minute later, her brows furrowed even more.

Is there another member of the Uchiha clan?

A person who doesn't belong to this world?

He was incredibly strong, so strong that even Itachi Uchiha and the masked guy couldn't see his movements clearly.

With a single move, he exerted absolute power, leaving no room for resistance.

How... is this possible?

Keep watching...

Even the old man was suppressed after the night of the massacre? And Danzo too?

Who exactly is this person?

and many more!

In an instant, Tsunade remembered what the Fourth Raikage had said before.

Who is that...?

At this moment, Jiraiya spoke up: "There's something you might not have noticed yet. There's someone in the Akatsuki organization that we might have met a long time ago."

"You've seen it before?" Tsunade was stunned.

Jiraiya nodded: "Konan, that's what the Akatsuki leader calls this girl. She's the second-in-command of Amegakure, known as the Angel. Her ability: Paper Release."

Jiraiya sighed, "Do you remember the three children I stayed in Amegakure to teach after the war? One of them was this girl, and the other possessed the Rinnegan."

???

Tsunade immediately stood up.

"So, the Akatsuki organization that's causing such panic throughout the ninja world right now is your disciple?"

Uh!

Jiraiya had nothing to say.

Because this viewpoint seems to make sense; those three kids, if it weren't for him at that time, might have had a serious problem surviving.

After obtaining this intelligence, many things have been connected. But the more this is the case, the more uneasy people feel about the remaining unknown information.

Tsunade, who had sat down again, looked at the scroll in her hand: "So what do you plan to do?"

Jiraiya replied, "I inquired about those three brats a long time ago and was told they had died on the battlefield. But now it seems they may have gone through a lot."

"With this information, perhaps we can give it a try. Fortunately, the people from Kumogakure are also here, and their Jinchūriki are also among our targets."

Tsunade nodded: "I understand. They came with ill intentions this time as well, but since it concerns the entire ninja world, I haven't delved into the reasons."
