Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

At this moment, everyone from Naruto's first generation gathered together, including Sasuke, who would be leaving with the Fourth Raikage the next day.

"So it's impossible for them to stay... right?"

Naruto hesitated for a moment, but still asked Sasuke the question.

Shikamaru on the other side frowned, but didn't say anything.

Having experienced a lot and grown, he also understood that some things are neither right nor wrong. Asuma was not wrong, and neither was Sasuke.

What does the life of the Third Hokage's son matter compared to the lives of the entire Uchiha clan?

The war is over, but if Konoha, with Naruto, and Kumogakure, with Sasuke, still harbor hatred, then the Fifth Shinobi World War might soon occur.

However, Sasuke returning to Konoha... is obviously impossible.

Sasuke took a sip of his drink and shook his head slightly: "Konoha has changed a lot, but I have changed a lot too. I have many friends in Kumogakure, and the Fourth Raikage has taken good care of me."

Sakura, who was sitting at the same table as the girls, stared blankly at Sasuke upon hearing this. At that moment, she didn't know what to say.

Unlike Naruto, she had no right to ask Sasuke to stay.

Neji glanced at the two of them and said, "If you don't want Konoha and Sasuke to become enemies, Sasuke will not return to Konoha."

The words made Naruto understand as well.

After all, they're not children anymore. There are too many things to consider between countries and between the five great ninja villages.

At this moment, Shikamaru spoke up: "After this battle, a new direction will inevitably emerge among the five great ninja villages. The casualties were huge, the lessons were painful, the old hatreds were extinguished, and new bonds were formed. Everyone will work towards this new direction in the short term."

"Peace is coming. But how long it can last depends on the efforts of our generation and the next."

"Compared to those fallen comrades, the five great ninja villages of today will certainly no longer be estranged from each other. In the future, Naruto, it's not impossible for you to go to Kumogakure to see Sasuke."

Naruto nodded, thought for a moment, stood up, and picked up the drink in his cup.

"I will come to see you, Sasuke."

Let us strive together to maintain this hard-won peace.

"mutual encouragement!"

……

Hokage Building.

Post-war work proceeded smoothly over the course of the month, and the wounded and the dead were transferred through Konoha, the wartime center.

In addition, the Five Shadows Summit was held repeatedly during this month.

With Mifune of the neutral Land of Iron acting as an intermediary, the Five Kage began one discussion after another.

After this war, the Five Kage underwent a significant change in their thinking, but their determination to maximize the interests of their own villages remained unwavering.

No one wants another Shinobi World War, but the post-war Shinobi world order still needs to be fought for.

Restraint, concessions, and efforts have become the main themes of the Five Shadows talks these days.

Chapter 440: Nine Pets

The will of the world...

This world isn't a comic book; it's a real world with extraordinary powers, so all the contradictions must have an explanation.

A stone tablet from the Uchiha clan's territory, a Black Zetsu who could hide beneath the Sage of Six Paths for thousands of years, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi that pulls everyone into a genjutsu...

There are too many contradictions in this.

After witnessing the Fourth Shinobi World War from beginning to end, Uchiha Un had even more doubts in his heart.

If the Sage of Six Paths, who can manifest in the Pure Land, were to appear before Madara, he would directly expose the falsity of the stone tablet…

The old man of the Six Paths, who can borrow the chakra of the deceased in the Pure Land, does not have a constant amount of chakra...

And there was a technique I heard about with my own ears back then...

God—born from the Tree Realm!

The one who performed this technique was Madara Uchiha, but at that time, after absorbing the Divine Tree, the Rinnegan with nine tomoe on his forehead had obviously been influenced by Kaguya.

This technique... bound everyone, except for Sasuke, who possessed a single six-tomoe Rinnegan.

Perhaps Naruto, with his Six Paths Yang Power, could have avoided it, but since he was protected by Sasuke, it's still unknown.

Apart from these, only the deceased who have already died and are reborn in the defiled world after returning from the Pure Land are unaffected.

This was verified by Itachi Uchiha, who was pinned to the rock wall at that time.

Therefore, the existence of Pure Land may indeed be as we have heard, originating from the original Takamagahara of this world, and is also a manifestation of the world's will.

……

The desert of the Land of Wind.

After the great war, the bond between Shukaku and Gaara was clearly not as strong as that between Naruto and Shukaku. Or perhaps, compared to the Nine-Tails, which evolved into a husky, Shukaku preferred freedom and playfulness.

The spatial portal opened, and Uchiha Kumo appeared in the desert.

The surrounding gravel rises up, forming a depression that shelters the cranes from the wind and sand. This is the landform formed when the cranes play.

At that moment, it was sleeping soundly.

The Shukaku of this world had never been tamed by the clouds. It only opened its eyes in surprise after the clouds approached.

"Humans? What do you want to do?"

The Fourth Shinobi World War had just ended, and even the most eccentric Shukaku did not launch an attack directly.

Yun looked up at the other person: "For some reasons, I need to take most of your chakra."

"Hee hee hee……"

A sharp laugh rang out, and Shukaku stood up: "So you humans always forget the lessons of war... We just finished that devastating war, and now you bastards have appeared again!"

Practice firing blanks!

The enormous claws slammed into its belly, and a gust of wind blades sweeping through the sand rushed towards it.

However, Uchiha Yun merely extended one hand, and the enormous wind blade vanished without a trace, leaving behind a tiny, almost invisible red particle in his hand.

This scene made Shukaku pause for a moment, and when he looked at Uchiha Yun again, his beastly eyes narrowed slightly.

The Rinnegan with magatama!

A month ago, after witnessing the woman named Kaguya Otsutsuki, even the dumbest tanuki understood the terror of those eyes.

"Who are you?!"

Uchiha Un slowly floated up, and after reaching the same height as Shukaku, he reached out his hand again.

"Shh!"

Several black iron rods pierced it and inserted it into the desert, after which a tremendous force of attraction erupted from its palm.

In an instant, tangible chakra filled Shukaku's entire body and began to gather in Uchiha Kumo's hands.

"Damn it! Who are you?"

Uchiha Yun replied, "Don't bother trying to communicate. After the chakra of the nine tailed beasts converged at the bottom of Naruto's heart, your communication became easier. However, you can't contact them right now."

"By the way, the Sand Village ninjas who were responsible for watching you have all fallen asleep. When they wake up, they will have some extra memories."

In just two short sentences, Shukaku's size had shrunk dramatically.

The rapid loss of chakra made it unable to maintain its original enormous size.

This feeling was even more terrifying than when he was devoured by the Ten-Tails a month ago.

"You bastard! You piece of shit!"

"Snapped!"

A giant hand formed from chakra slammed down, and a large Kabuto slammed it directly onto Shukaku's head.

"Don't have a foul mouth, or I'll suck you dry in a bit."

Shukaku was unconvinced and raised his head to continue cursing, completely unaware that his words were inappropriate.

But before it could even open its mouth, the huge hand kept falling, leaving it with no ability to resist.

Before long, two red particles appeared in Uchiha Yun's hand, containing 99% of Shukaku's chakra.

The black iron rod fell, and Shukaku, who had collapsed to the ground, was smaller than a small dog and jumped around like a puppy.

"If you keep being rude, I think maybe we can transfer your consciousness to a dog? Or a pig?"

"Uh!"

One sentence immediately silenced Shukaku.

Although it has a foul mouth, it is never one to be unable to judge the situation.

It hadn't realized it at first, but now that it thought about it, it seemed the other party hadn't intended to drain it dry. Although still resentful, it absolutely didn't want to experience being turned into a pig or a dog.

Most importantly... it can't win, and it doesn't even have a chance to fight back.

"Who...who exactly are you?"

Yun waved his hand, and Little Shukaku was immediately caught in his palm: "Uchiha Yun. There are eight more to come. You have too much chakra. If you reduce it a little, fewer people will try to take advantage of you."

Uchiha Yun?

It's the Uchiha again!!!

Shukaku's eyes widened, but it didn't even have the desire to struggle.

When it was inside the Ten-Tails, it could still struggle a bit, but now... there's absolutely no way to do anything. This bastard didn't absorb it into its body, and the particles formed from those chakra are as if they've lost their connection.

"Let's go."

As soon as Uchiha Yun finished speaking, he stepped directly into the spatial passage.

In the desert, it wasn't until two hours later that the Sand Village ninja who had been watching Shukaku finally woke up.

"Shukaku... ran away?"
