Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

These easily detectable traces were, in fact, deliberately left by the enemy.

The other party used them as bait to lure out their own victims, never intending to survive from the start.

Even if a large scroll-shaped explosive tag doesn't kill or injure you, the massive explosion will inevitably alert other enemies and help them pinpoint your location.

all in all……

The mission failed, and if I hadn't used the steel wire to pull apart the non-existent teammate at the last moment, I might not have even gotten a passing score.

"Phew...that's really strict."

Uchiha Yu sighed.

……

Inside a tall tower built using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or magic) at the hour of zero.

"I have to say, you guys are really bored... If you really have nothing to do, you could go help out at the Hokage Building!"

Shikamaru said, glancing at the people behind him.

Uchiha Sasuke, Ino, Hinata, Rock Lee, Tenten...

A whole bunch of my friends from the same period have actually come.

Sasuke coughed awkwardly: "Um... Sakura kicked me out early this morning. It was Sarada's graduation exam, so I really should have come and see."

As the former Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Ino unceremoniously took the real-time report from in front of Shikamaru.

"Not a single one has passed yet? Becoming a ninja is so much harder now than it was back then."

Tenten put her arm around Ino and exclaimed, "Your waist is so slim... How do you maintain it so well after having a child? Do you have any secrets?"

The topic was steered in a different direction, and for a moment, the attention of several women was drawn to it.

More than a decade has passed, and apart from becoming more mature, Ino's figure seems to have remained unchanged.

So, one of us grabbed a handful, and the other grabbed a handful, each wanting to pinch the other.

Finally, Tenten, revealing her true intentions, rescued Ino and whispered, "How about we get together sometime? Your master rarely goes out, and Yako has been saying she wants to meet this legendary master..."

Ino glanced at Tenten: "I knew you weren't up to any good by coming to see me so early in the morning. Yun said that Yako can give it a try. If you're free, come to my house this afternoon. He usually cultivates in the alternate dimension from morning to noon. He has never stopped doing so all these years except when something comes up."

Clearly, nothing that happens in Konoha can escape the notice of this strongest person.

"Snapped."

Tenten patted Ino's butt with one hand: "Thank you so much! Let's get together tonight, it's on me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a member of the secret service appeared.

A file with a one-inch photo of Uchiha Yu was handed over. Shikamaru glanced at it and said, "The first one..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ino snatched the document from his hand.

Ino glanced at the score, a hint of worry in her eyes.

……

Chapter 459: The Older Generation as Parents

Self-esteem is sometimes incredibly important for a twelve-year-old child.

Yu, having grown up in her father's shadow since childhood, naturally began to compare herself to him.

But throughout all these years in the ninja world, even including the Warring States period, how many have reached the level of Kumo? There's practically none!

To pass the graduation exam, you need at least 60 points, and a score of 65 is really unsatisfactory.

Ino's concern is that Yu, who has recently been disciplined by Yun, might get stuck in a rut again because of this result, which would be difficult to handle...

Are you worried that Yu might act strangely because of this result?

Ino nodded silently.

Shikamaru smiled and replied, "I remember Sasuke and Naruto also experienced the torment from your master back then, right? A while ago, Yu and Boruto also received the same treatment."

"So what are you worried about? The fact that Brother Yun didn't come proves everything. Yu is not only your son, but also his. He's watching over everything under these circumstances."

Upon hearing this, Ino let out a sigh of relief.

Over the years, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio has trusted Shikamaru's brain and intelligence.

Shikamaru leaned back in his chair and continued, "Times have changed. Our graduation exams back then were a completely different story compared to now. A single clone technique was enough to graduate, and unwavering determination was enough to pass the Jonin training exam."

"But things are different now. In the peaceful environment of the ninja world, there is no need for so many pure ninjas. On the contrary, other industries, whether it is construction or public security management, need new blood to fill the gap."

"You probably already know the number of people who passed the graduation exam last year. That's right, it was zero last year! Not a single one..."

As he spoke, Shikamaru looked at Ino: "Tell Yu all this, and make him understand his own heart, understand why he became a ninja, and what he is willing to risk his life to protect after becoming a ninja... Only by understanding these things can he truly become strong."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.

Ino nodded, recalling the conversation between Yun and her son that night.

In addition, considering the Uchiha clan's method for awakening the Sharingan, this seems to be the most correct path, without a doubt.

Just then, one after another, members of the Dark Guard appeared.

Only nine people passed the test, and that was only because Chocho Akimichi and Hana Yamanaka received help from Shikadai. The three of them worked together to complete the task, but their scores were not high, barely reaching sixty.

Turning the page, Shikamaru was pleasantly surprised by the next one.

Hyuga Meiko, Neji and Tenten's daughter.

Her innate talent for the Byakugan, combined with the advance preparation of the summoning scroll and her meticulous planning, led her to a score of eighty-one, the highest score this time.

"Hahaha?"

When Tian Tian saw her daughter's score, she couldn't contain her joy.

But the next moment, he realized that something seemed off, and the gazes around him were somewhat dangerous...

"That...that sprout is pretty good, isn't it?"

Ino put her arm around Tenten's shoulder: "Yeah, 81 points is definitely good. Unlike our good-for-nothings, who barely passed and almost ended up having to move stones to build houses."

Sakura also came over and supported Tenten on the other side: "As the top student in the graduation exam, shouldn't you treat everyone to a celebration?"

Uh!

dinner?

The ninja tool shop's business has been getting worse lately, so treating people to a meal... of course, is out of the question!

"I'll have Yun come along... We can show him Ya Zi's talent then. She got first place in the graduation exam, so we can celebrate that. Plus, with that brat Yu as a comparison, he might actually be interested, you know?"

Ino's persuasion left Tenten with no reason to refuse.

In fact, compared to the Fourth Hokage, the one in Ino's family is the one who can truly be without any taboos.

If Yako truly possesses the talent to master the Flying Thunder God Technique, this person's instruction will leave everyone speechless.

Grit your teeth and steel your resolve!

With a big smile, Tian Tian raised her hand and said, "I'll treat everyone later. It's been a long time since we've all gotten together. How about bringing the kids along?"

"Trying to treat? Treating!"

Choji, who had been engrossed in his daughter's grades, suddenly perked up: "Trying to treat you is great! How about a barbecue restaurant? I haven't had barbecue in ages..."

Sakura seized the opportunity and said, "Can I bring my family? I'll bring Sasuke and the child with me."

Hinata smiled, but said the words that terrified Tenten the most: "Um... can we eat as much as we want?"

Just that one sentence made Tian Tian shudder and almost lose her balance.

Fortunately, Hinata caught her: "Just kidding. But it really has been a long time since it's been this lively, it feels like going back to more than ten years ago."

Hinata leaned closer and whispered, "Let them pass. I can help you with half the burden. I really like Yako, and I'm her aunt."

Tian Tian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Originally, given the relationship between Neji and Hinata, the best approach would have been to the Fourth Hokage.

However, the Flying Thunder God Technique was not created by the Fourth Hokage; it is a space-time ninjutsu belonging to the village, not by an individual.

According to Hiashi-sama, even the Fourth Hokage was only able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique after Jiraiya received permission because of his meritorious service on the battlefield and his own space-time talent.

Based on this, Tenten also understood that even the Fourth Hokage could not teach this technique at will.

But that person was different...

Because no one could refute that person's decision, and there were no taboos. To some extent, the entire ninja world was able to maintain its peaceful environment today because of him...

……

The dinner was ultimately decided to be at a barbecue restaurant.

Thanks to Hinata's sponsorship, Tenten didn't have to suffer a huge financial loss on her own.

In addition, Uchiha Kumo, who rarely left his home, was indeed brought out by Ino.

Over the past ten years, what was once a single person has now become a family of three, so naturally, one private room is no longer enough to accommodate them all.

So the adults and the kids sat separately, one in a private room for drinking alcohol, and the other in a private room for only drinks.

As for the eight kids, since Iwabe's parents weren't in the same cohort as the twelve Konoha Genin, he naturally didn't come.

Because of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Hana was taken along by Shikamaru.

"Defeating the final enemy is not difficult, but all the clues along the way need to be carefully examined, otherwise it may be a deliberate attempt by the enemy to mislead us."

Sarada sighed as she spoke. He had been full of confidence, but he had only received a barely passing grade.

Boruto, sitting opposite the boy, didn't care. As long as he passed, that was enough. What he was thinking about now was who would be the Jonin to guide the class assignments tomorrow.

So he nudged Yu next to him with his elbow: "I heard your dad came today too. Will Uncle Yun be our Jonin instructor tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Yu rolled her eyes. Her dad was personally leading the class?

The last people with this potential were the Fifth Hokage, someone who awakened the Rinnegan, and someone who had the Tenseigan.

Which of these three doesn't transcend the so-called "shadow" level?

Looking at the guy in front of him, including himself and Sarada, they were all twelve years old, and all they knew were some Wind Release and Fire Release techniques, as well as shuriken throwing.
