Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"Pongpeng, sit down."

The two sat down beside Yun, watching the light drizzle outside.

"Back then, you told Jiraiya that your dream was to protect Yahiko and Konan, remember?"

Nagato was stunned: "You... how could you?"

Yun replied, "There are very few things in this world that I don't know. Just like the Akatsuki organization you established, it's like a nested doll, one layer after another, it's simply outrageous."

"The story of Black Zetsu rescuing his mother, thousands of years of history condensed into these five words, can indeed be summarized."

"I had some selfish motives, so I saved you and Xiao Nan. I promise you will see true peace in this world, but for the time to come, until true peace arrives, you need to stay here quietly."

Konan, who was standing to the side, frowned and asked, "On the night the Uchiha were wiped out, you were the one who attacked that guy, right? You saved two Uchiha members."

"So... you're also from the Uchiha clan? Knowing Madara Uchiha's personality, you're even older than him?"

Yun looked at Xiao Nan: "Actually... I should be quite a bit younger than you. The information I have is just a kind of ability."

Nagato thought for a moment: "And what is your purpose?"

Yun replied calmly, "Before a truly insurmountable enemy descends, let us bring true peace to this world, unite all forces that can be united, and save the world..."

Yun then looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you think this reason... is sufficient?"

Nagato's eye twitched.

He suddenly realized that the guy in front of him seemed to be even better at bragging than he was.

He himself is nothing more than a self-proclaimed god, while this guy talks about the future and peace all the time; his mystique far surpasses his self-proclaimed godhood.

At this moment, Xiao Nan asked, "What do you think true peace is like?"

Yun looked into the distance: "Let's unify... Let's extinguish hatred, let the hearts of the lower classes of the entire ninja world be united, and under the powerful pressure, the higher-ups will be forced to abandon their internal wars. In time, the opportunity for unification will arise..."

Konan pondered for a moment and said, "So... Obito and the current Akatsuki organization became the prototype of this sharp blade, right?"

……

Chapter 431: The Terrified Obito

Tobi is Obito, a man who calls himself Madara Uchiha, but is merely a remnant of the Uchiha clan.

When the Uchiha clan was wiped out, according to Itachi Uchiha, Nagato and Konan were able to know the power of the person in front of them.

A single sound was enough to send the guy who had the ability to nullify all attacks fleeing in disarray.

In addition, as he just said, Obito Uchiha was also just a pawn.

So, to whom does this chess piece belong?

The Rinnegan belongs to Madara Uchiha, but Madara has not yet been resurrected. It's unlikely that Obito Uchiha would use the Rinne Rebirth technique to sacrifice himself for Madara.

Therefore... the next actions of Akatsuki, or even Obito Uchiha, are probably all under the control of the person in front of us.

Uchiha Yun looked at Konan: "I've always felt that you might be more suitable than the other two to be the leader of Akatsuki."

Konan frowned at these words, wanting to refute them, but the current situation was clear: both Yahiko's and Nagato's wills had failed.

At that moment, Nagato looked at the drizzle outside: "Jiraiya-sensei said back then... as long as people can..."

Trust? Opening your heart? Understanding each other?

Uchiha Yun's voice interrupted him: "Even establishing trust between two people is incredibly difficult, let alone between the entire world?"

Nagato frowned deeply: "I failed, yet you say my first part was correct. Then please tell me, how can the world achieve true peace?"

For a moment, both of their gazes turned to the mysterious person they had just met...

"You have come to understand the true nature of this world because of Hanzo's betrayal. Therefore, we can find a way to achieve lasting peace by studying the history of the past."

Yun leaned against the wooden wall behind him: "In the early days of the ninja village system, the First Hokage, known as the God of Shinobi, knelt before the other four Kage at the first Five Kage Summit, praying for peace..."

"Do you think the reason why the Kage of the Four Great Ninja Villages didn't engage in a Shinobi World War before the First Hokage died was because of this kneeling plea... or something else?"

As soon as he finished speaking, both of them were stunned.

Although they once proclaimed themselves gods, neither Nagato nor Konan knew about this part of history.

After a long pause, Konan finally spoke: "If the previous Akatsuki had possessed the great power of the First Hokage, or if Nagato had... possessed the power to overturn everything, they would naturally be respected."

Yun chuckled lightly: "That kneeling was actually meaningless. It only made the four great ninja villages understand the bottom line of the God of Shinobi, and thus they prepared for war even more recklessly."

"The best proof is when the captured tailed beasts were distributed to the five great ninja villages. The First Hokage wanted to give them to them, the Second Hokage wanted to sell them, but at that time the Kazekage made a request."

There was a hint of mockery in Uchiha Yun's eyes.

"The Kazekage proposed that the Land of Wind should have a tailed beast, so they don't need a tailed beast, but they do need a fertile land in the Land of Fire."

Nagato then spoke up, "Resources. The Land of Wind is located in the desert, and the constant sandstorms and desertification have made their resources very scarce."

"Oh? You've started to use your brain."

Uchiha Yun looked over: "So if it were you, what would you choose? The First Hokage, a god of ninja, knelt down and begged you to maintain peace, but the population of Sunagakure has gradually increased since the end of the Warring States period, and the number of ninjas is increasing every year."

"Ninjas don't engage in production, Konoha is cutting off a large number of mission requests, and the Land of Wind's daimyo is unwilling to increase financial support due to insufficient income. In this situation, what should you, as the Kazekage, do?"

How to do it?

Nagato was stunned for a moment, and Konan also frowned deeply.

This historical event made them more deeply involved and eager to find a solution.

Perhaps true peace lies hidden in the words of the person before us.

"The increase in the number of ninjas is inevitable, and it also represents the increase in the village's power. And with the increase in power, one must naturally rely on power to obtain what one needs."

Nagato exhaled: "And so... war became unavoidable. Even if the First Hokage knelt and begged, the Kazekage had countless people relying on him. There was no solution to this situation."

Konan followed up, saying, "But even the First Shinobi World War broke out after the First Hokage died. So even if they weren't afraid, the First Hokage's bottom line was peace, so they had to make peace."

Between the two questions and answers, they looked at each other, and it seemed that some past issues were now clearly visible.

But what followed was what happened next.

"life……"

Konan looked up at the clouds: "Even the legendary Sage of Six Paths eventually died when his lifespan ended. The God of Shinobi will also die one day."

"The sharp blades hanging overhead withdrew, and the power accumulated by all the ninja villages began to erupt. The intervals between the First Shinobi World War, the Second Shinobi World War, and even the Third Shinobi World War were extremely short!"

Yun nodded slightly, then looked at Nagato: "As a sharp blade hanging over the five great ninja villages, this is the first half of your life. But people always die, and decades of peace will only bring about an even larger war later on."

"So... what needs to be addressed is not just the existence of the sharp blade, but also resources, and the easing of interpersonal relationships."

"Trust is such a precious thing, but if the five great ninja villages have an enemy that they have to unite to fight, then the easing of tensions among the new generation becomes inevitable."

"For me to be your friend, it's not just about the hatred we once shared being forgotten and the common enemy that makes us sworn brothers; it's also about your presence ensuring that my most basic survival isn't affected!"

Your existence... cannot affect my survival?

resource……

Resources are the root of all problems. When resources are insufficient, using the strength already available to seize more becomes the most correct choice.

The title is: For the Village!

So how can we solve the resource problem?

"what……"

Uchiha Yun stood up and stretched: "The Fourth Shinobi World War is inevitable. The shinobi world needs to cleanse itself of all past hatred and also needs to create a bond between the lower and middle levels of the five great shinobi villages."

"And after that, I hope you can continue to be the dark side of this world. A major purge will require constant pressure afterward."

"And when everything is on track and dawn breaks, the light of day should fade away."

"Stay here and think things through carefully, about the future of this world..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Yun disappeared from the spot, leaving only Nagato and Konan with furrowed brows.

After going around in circles, it seems the two have finally returned to where they started, the place that once held the dreams of the three of them.

It was still a wooden house, with simple furniture.

In the darkness, the two seemed to sense a familiar figure behind them, the one who used to always spout nonsense.

……

The commotion prompted the joint search and rescue team to take action. After reinforcements arrived, the combined forces of the five great ninja villages launched an attack on Amegakure.

Without the Akatsuki, the resistance of Amegakure crumbled at the first sign of trouble. Even the Amegakure ninja, who were grateful to the angels, eventually revealed all the information under duress.

But in the end, the five great ninja villages gained nothing from the tower.

Aside from knowing that Amegakure had been secretly controlled by the Akatsuki for many years, not a single Akatsuki member had been captured.

But soon, a piece of intelligence appeared in the Hokage Building in Konoha.

With the formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Tsunade, as the commander-in-chief, immediately initiated the Five Kage Summit.

[Underground in the mountainous graveyard on the northern border of the Land of Iron, a White Zetsu with a combat strength approaching that of an ordinary Chunin: 100,000.]

Chunin combat power... 100,000?

After the five Kage reviewed this intelligence, everyone frowned.

Although Chunin are not considered strong by them, they are clearly the backbone of the force and constitute the largest number of people in that tier.

The total number of ninjas that the five great ninja villages could send out probably didn't even equal that number.

"Where did the intelligence come from?"

"Hyuga Tokuma, a member of a branch family of the Hyuga clan, discovered a suspicious target during a search in the Land of Iron, using his Byakugan ability to detect it."

"One hundred thousand..."

"I really didn't expect this number..."

Tsunade glanced at the four Kage at the round table: "Not only that, Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation technique may also have formidable combat power at the higher levels."

Impure World Reincarnation...

After the alliance was formed, intelligence was naturally shared during the battle in Konoha.

Of course, the one who put the most pressure on everyone was Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage resurrected through Edo Tensei.
