Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Yun glanced at Sasuke, who had run far away, sighed, and followed after him.

Have the chakra of Ashura and Indra already begun to affect each other? Have they started to have a grudge so early?

However, Naruto's words were really a bit too much, after all, Fugaku's death was caused by Naruto's birth and the Fourth Hokage's request for help.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for me, Fugaku wouldn't have died so young, right?

Thinking of this, Yun also instantly appeared beside Sasuke and placed her hand on his hair.

Chapter 74: The Second Seed That Fell

"Suck...you bad brother?"

Sniffling, Erzhuzi looked up at Yun with red eyes and asked, "Bad brother, why don't I have a dad? Where is my dad?"

A villain?!?

Well, it is pretty bad.

Yun scratched his head, but Itachi was too busy dating to take this kid to the memorial tablet?

Really? Isn't he a brother-obsessed brother?

Yun looked in the direction of the memorial monument, thought for a moment, and said, "Let me take you somewhere."

Having brought Sasuke to the Fugaku monument, Yun asked, "Didn't your brother and mother bring you here?"

Sasuke sniffed: "I've been here before, but..."

Yun gently rubbed Sasuke's head: "But why is Naruto's father the Hokage, while your father is here?"

Sasuke nodded.

Yun bent down and swept the leaves off the stone tablet, then pointed to the Hokage Rock in the distance and said, "Do you know where the greatest person in Konoha is, just like the Hokage?"

Sasuke shook his head.

Yun looked around and said, "The person whose name can be enshrined on the memorial tablet is a great person, just like the Hokage. Because the people here all sacrificed themselves for Konoha."

Sasuke was completely bewildered, but no matter how he listened to the convoluted explanation, he couldn't understand it at all.

Yun looked at Fugaku's tombstone and said, "Your father was once the captain of the Konoha Police Force and the head of the entire Uchiha clan. His ninjutsu was far superior to mine and Itachi's."

"Really?" Sasuke asked, looking up.

"Without the sacrifices of those people on the memorial tablet, there would be no Konoha, let alone the Hokage?"

"If Naruto ever says his dad is the Hokage, just tell him this, and you'll never go wrong!"

Sasuke was stunned. Although he still couldn't understand, those words sounded really powerful!

So Erzhuzi, who had been fooled, wiped his snot and stopped crying.

As Yun led the little one away, she turned back and looked at Obito's tombstone...

……

In the Uchiha clan's territory, Yun Gang, who was escorting Erzhuzi home, stood at the door and froze.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was standing at the doorway, cautiously looking at Kushina beside him.

Kushina was holding Naruto's ear tightly, angrily saying to him, "How dare you say such hurtful things to Sasuke! You must apologize to Sasuke in person when he returns today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kushina turned and glared at Minato: "Busy, busy, busy! You're always so busy, don't you even know how to properly discipline your son?"

"How rude and ill-mannered! Who will want to be his friend after saying such things? Is it just because his father is the Hokage?"

Little Naruto, whose ear was being twisted, was terrified and kept saying, "Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Meanwhile, Mikoto Uchiha, who had just opened the door because of the visitor, was completely bewildered...

What... happened?

But seeing Naruto in pain, he reached out and pushed away Kushina's hand that was twisting his ear, took Naruto in his arms and asked, "Can't you talk things out properly? Did Naruto say anything too hurtful? You're just a kid."

Kushina was still angry, but she didn't go forward to beat her son again.

Minato, standing to the side, wore a forced smile, scratching his head, unsure of what to say.

Just then, Yun, who had just arrived, led Sasuke into the courtyard. After looking outside, she said, "Aunt Mikoto, let's go inside and talk. It's not a good idea."

These words enlightened Mikoto, and so the group went through the push-open door.

After everyone sat down, Naruto cautiously looked at his friends, smiled and tried to hold their hands, but Sasuke dodged him.

"Sasuke... I'm sorry."

Sasuke, with his air conditioning on full blast, glanced at Naruto out of the corner of his eye. Their eyes met, and Naruto smiled and took his hand again.

This time, he couldn't dodge it.

We've made up!

"Humph!"

Sasuke scoffed and replied, "Without the sacrifices at the memorial tablet... there would be no Konoha! Let alone the Hokage!"

Hesitantly, Sasuke mumbled something incomplete and inadequate. He pulled his hand back, put his hands on his hips, and said, "Your father is the Hokage, but my father is a hero on the memorial stone!"

"Without my father, there would be no Konoha. Without Konoha, what kind of Hokage would your father be? Humph!"

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

Mikoto Uchiha stared blankly at Sasuke, then looked worriedly at the Fourth Hokage beside her.

This scene dampened the spirits of the originally passionate young Sasuke.

"Clap clap clap..."

Minato clapped his hands with a smile: "Little Sasuke is absolutely right! Without the heroes who sacrificed themselves for Konoha on the memorial tablet, there would be no Konoha, let alone the Hokage!"

Minato then looked at Naruto seriously and said, "Naruto, I've always thought you were too young and wouldn't understand many things."

"But your ability to say those things before has forced me to reconsider your education. The position of Hokage is not a right, but a responsibility."

"Only those who gain the recognition of everyone can become Hokage. And the Hokage's responsibility is to protect the village and all the people of Konoha."

With that, Minato stood up, bowed to Sasuke and Mikoto, and said, "I apologize to you again. Fugaku's death was caused by our family. I'm sorry!"

As Minato finished speaking, Kushina pulled Naruto up and stood him next to Minato.

He bowed deeply in apology and said, "Because of my discipline, Naruto said those things. I'm really sorry."

This scene stunned Mikoto Uchiha for a moment, then she pulled up Kushina and Naruto, and Minato, who was standing next to her, also got up.

"Fugaku died for Konoha, and I've always been proud of him. It's normal for kids to bicker; there's no need for such a formal apology."

Mikoto pulled Kushina to sit down with her, saying, "It's been a long time since we've sat together like this. I remember before..."

Kushina casually put her arm around Mikoto's shoulder: "We were best friends before, we are now, and we will be in the future."

As she spoke, Kushina looked at Naruto and Sasuke and said, "It's just that these two kids aren't a boy and a girl, otherwise we could have become in-laws."

These words caused Naruto and Sasuke to exchange a glance, and the two immediately shifted their positions, creating some distance between them.

……

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the two families, Yun felt like a third wheel and got up to say goodbye.

Seeing this, Minato also got up to take his leave because he had other matters to attend to.

Kushina, standing to the side, frowned and waved her hand, saying, "Go on, go on, Hokage-sama, you're always so busy."

With an awkward laugh, Minato gave the two kids a thumbs-up, then said goodbye and left with Yun.

……

Chapter 75: Best Friend

Outside the Uchiha clan's territory.

Minato looked at Yun and asked, "What little Sasuke said must have been taught by Yun, right?"

Before Yun could reply, Minato smiled and nodded, saying, "Actually, you're right. Without the sacrifices of those people, there would be no Konoha, let alone me, the Hokage."

Yun smiled as well: "The fourth generation is very different from the third generation and their predecessors."

Minato asked, "What are the differences? Actually, I'm very curious to know how a genius like Yun views me, the Fourth Hokage."

Yun thought for a moment: "How long did it take for the Fourth Hokage to find out that Orochimaru was using village ninjas for human experiments?"

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment.

How long did it take to find out?

This issue concerns A of the Anbu. After A was transferred from the Root to his direct subordinate Anbu, Orochimaru's situation became known.

But at that time...

Minato sighed and replied, "I already knew about Orochimaru a long time ago, when A told me about his background."

"But as a disciple of the Third Hokage and one of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru has a high reputation in the village. You must have heard that he once competed for the position of Fourth Hokage."

"Under such circumstances, some of my trusted subordinates in the secret service began to investigate the location of his laboratory."

As he finished speaking, the Fourth Generation looked at the silent, deserted street, waiting for Yun's reply.

Beneath the lush, leafy tree, no one would suspect that its roots are already rotten and decaying.

As a hero of Konoha during the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars, no one believed that Orochimaru would do something like using the village's ninjas for human experiments.

Even if this is true, it's difficult to draw a conclusion without being caught in the act.

not to mention……

There are also three generations who cherish the bond between master and disciple.

Yun recalled the scene in Orochimaru's laboratory. The Fourth Hokage had sent more than a dozen Anbu members there, and it was clear that not all of them were members of Anbu Team 6.

On the other hand, the Third Hokage was only accompanied by two ANBU members.

In a moment, Yun understood something.
