Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

It feels amazing!

……

It was late at night.

It wasn't until this time that Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, finished his work and went home.

Kushina wasn't asleep either; she was enthusiastically making some small clothes.

Upon entering, Minato chuckled, "You've prepared so early? Hinata will probably be shy for a long time if she sees this."

Kushina had a big smile on her face.

She was extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law, always fond of Naruto's gentleness, kindness, tolerance, steadfastness, and courage...

"Of course we have to make some, otherwise what if we don't have enough time... Hinata will like it."

Then Kushina asked, "Remember to remind Naruto to use the key to seal it when he gets home tonight. This period is crucial."

"Yes, yes, Naruto knows."

Minato smiled somewhat helplessly.

However, this attitude clearly displeased Kushina, so the Fourth Hokage immediately corrected his attitude.

……

Somewhere underground in the ninja world.

Standing before the rows of glass containers, Black Zetsu stared at one of them with a somber expression.

This is a clone of Shin, and it has been infused with the same powers. It has adapted very well, and if released now, it can even gain the power of a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

However... Black Zetsu did not do that.

The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan was once very strong, but now... for Konoha, even those two brats are no longer worth mentioning.

The complete Susanoo, combined with the Nine-Tails' tailed beast transformation by a perfect Jinchūriki, makes the mass-produced Mangekyou Sharingan jutsu pose no threat whatsoever.

His previous defeat had cost him half of the power he had gained from his mother. That fool, with that power, was easily defeated and captured by Konoha.

This made Black Zetsu realize that releasing such a mentally challenged individual before the Rinnegan was successfully formed would be like throwing good money after bad, with no chance of recovery.

Furthermore, he can only provide a small amount of power this time, and it will take a lot of time.

Fortunately, those two bastards didn't catch up with me again, so it seems that the stupid thing's attempt to stop the enemy wasn't entirely ineffective.

This time, we must wait until it develops its true power, a power capable of confronting Konoha.

Release Mother! We must break the seal on Mother!

Black Zetsu's face gradually contorted into a ferocious expression. He turned around and walked to another glass container.

wedge……

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's defeat was unexpected, and the Heavenly Ones also lost, but the means he left behind for resurrection was not necessarily a bad thing for the Unsealed Mother.

After one defeat, anyone with a brain would know that they must release their mother in order to fight against those two bastards, Uchiha Kumo and Uzumaki Sora.

Chapter 453: Thirteen Years Later

In the history of the ninja world, the past seventy years have been vastly different from the last thirteen years.

From the end of the Warring States period to the rise of the ninja village system, the five great ninja villages controlled the balance of the entire ninja world. From the First Shinobi World War to the Third Shinobi World War, a series of novel ninjutsu were developed.

Manipulating iron sand, annihilating everything, activating cells, resurrecting the dead...

However, these measures did not actually have a significant positive impact on the ninja world as a whole.

For ordinary people, who make up the majority of the population at the bottom, the last ten years or so have seen truly rapid changes, with their living standards rising by leaps and bounds.

Electricity obtained from nature has already reached ordinary people at the bottom of society.

The ninja, a category that was once considered an adult by ordinary people, has now become a choice for a select few with chakra talents.

After all, although the Hokage Building offers good benefits, it is still insufficient compared to private companies, such as the Lightning Release chakra ninjas that the Second Research Department recently needs.

Furthermore, although peace has been maintained for more than ten years, there has been no longer any war between the five great nations, and they have become accustomed to obeying orders from Konoha.

But at times like these, frictions between smaller countries continue to arise.

Their rapid economic development has naturally outpaced the five major powers; their limited resources and lack of strength prevent them from daring to snatch food from the mouths of the five major powers.

However, this does not stop them from competing with each other. The various subsidies from Konoha each year are only so much. If these subsidies are put into one family, they can naturally become very wealthy.

As a result, the number of missions for the ninjas of the five great nations has increased to some extent.

However, for ordinary ninjas, being assigned to various towns to take turns guarding the garrison or to serve as guards for the two research departments is a better choice than being a ninja.

Thirteen years have passed, and the Konoha Ninja Academy has undergone several reforms.

First of all, everyone studies together for the first three years, but in the last three years, students need to specialize.

……

"Mom, Grandma, I'm going out!"

In the Fifth Hokage's house, a voice rang out, and Boruto, with blond hair, was about to rush outside when a hand grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

Hinata looked at her son and said, "If you go looking for that little Nine-Tails again, you won't be able to leave your vacation room for the rest of the time."

"Gudong..."

Under his mother's gaze, Boruto couldn't help but swallow hard.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm going to find Sarada and the others. We're being assigned to different classes tomorrow, so I wanted to get together."

Kushina watched this scene with a smile on her face from the sofa. After Naruto got married, they naturally lived separately, but Kushina would come over to sit for a while whenever she wanted.

It became even more frequent after my grandchildren were born.

However, as the former Red Hot Chili Pepper, he never protected Hinata when she disciplined her son as a mother.

After all, it's happened several times already. It's bad enough that the Nine-Tails corrupted Obito, but after Boruto started remembering things, it even corrupted Boruto as well.

Once, if it weren't for the reminder from the other half of Naruto's body, Kurama, eight-year-old Boruto would have already started drinking alcohol.

This is something a mother cannot tolerate...

After that, Hinata forbade Boruto from playing with Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

However, it is clear that for children of this age, rebellion is sometimes a fundamental part of their personality and cannot be stopped at all.

Fortunately, Minato personally went to the Uchiha clan's territory and met with Uchiha Kumo, thus preventing him from drinking before reaching adulthood.

"Really?"

Hinata's eyes met Boruto's.

Boruto nodded repeatedly: "Really, Mother? Don't worry, I'm rarely with that wicked fox anymore. Oh, and that stupid tanuki too!"

At that moment, a small head popped out of the room.

Seeing Boruto getting ready to go out, she quickly ran over and said, "Brother, brother, I want to go with you to find the tanuki and the fox. Last time, Tanuki said that if we go to make money together, he would buy me something delicious."

(丿○Д○)丿

"Snapped."

Boruto slapped his forehead, clearly not expecting such a spy to exist.

"Boruto!!!"

Hinata's eyes were already showing signs of anger, but the next moment...

"Oh!"

As the smoke dissipated, it became clear that the person who walked out of the main entrance was just a clone.

It's best to go out openly and honestly, but if that's not possible, then sneaking out is definitely the way to go.

Don't ask why, because being a good child is impossible.

Hinata clenched her fists in anger, her mind already conjuring up images of Boruto and a dog drinking and laughing together.

Just then, Sunflower also discovered that her brother had run away.

A wave of grievance washed over her little head, and with a pout, she burst into tears.

"Wow... Brother... Brother went out to play without me!"

"A tanuki...I want a tanuki...Wow..."

Kushina had no choice but to pick Hinata up and comfort her for a moment before patting her shoulder.

"Don't worry, Minato and Kumo have spoken to them, and the Nine-Tails won't dare to take Boruto drinking anymore. At this age, it's indeed difficult to discipline him."

Hinata sighed helplessly.

It's only been a little over ten years, but Konoha today is completely different from what it was a decade ago.

Back in Naruto's day, all we could play were ninja games. And now? Boruto's room has tons of game cartridges, a TV, and a movie theater, and so on...

These things are too tempting for children, making them increasingly difficult to manage these days.

At that time, with just a word from their father, Neji and I, and even Hanabi, were all extremely cautious.

Kushina continued to comfort Himawari, "Don't cry... Himawari is the best girl. Grandma will go buy you a Tailed Beast plushie in a little while. There are tanuki and fox plushies... They can move and talk."

Himawari blinked in Kushina's arms: "Really?"

Hinata sighed helplessly, "Why does the Research Department 2 always come up with this kind of thing..."

Kushina replied, "Currently, the tram tracks have basically covered the entire ninja world. Airships and monitoring equipment are competing with each other, and research requires money. The annual research budget has been capped, so if they have new ideas, they need to earn the funds themselves. There's nothing we can do about it."

Hinata, unable to stop Boruto any longer, sat back down, poured her grandmother a cup of tea, and said, "When Boruto was little, I always hoped he would join the research department. After all, back then, the ninja profession was already declining."

Kushina smiled and shook her head.

Since Minato retired, the couple has had more free time, and Kushina, now that she is older, can understand many things.

Life and experience can increase a person's wisdom, let alone the Hokage's wife who is so close to the center of power.
