Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

By the way, the steel wire used was also quite good.

Both were Uchiha, and both were descendants of powerful figures, yet neither of them awakened the Sharingan.

That's it... You must be dreaming!

Furthermore, Uchiha Yu strongly suspected that the reason his father took in the Fifth Hokage and the others at that time was most likely to train the next generation of laborers to succeed the Fourth Hokage.

Otherwise, he would have to be the Hokage himself, suffering the misery of not being able to go home until the moon was high in the sky every day.

"What do you mean? I think the possibility is still very high, okay?"

"Hehe, I think you have a pretty big face."

"What do you mean? I feel like you're insulting me?"

"The most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness, you know? As far as I know, when the Fifth Hokage and the others graduated, at least Uncle Sasuke had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

The two were still arguing when Sarada sighed helplessly.

Although the three families have a deep connection, why did these two guys not inherit any of their fathers' wisdom?

Regarding the graduation exam, Shikadai replied to Sarada, "The basic requirement is passing, which means discovering clues, pursuing the enemy, and finally defeating them. To get a higher score, you need to analyze all the incorrect information in the first half."

"As for a perfect score... since the reform of the Ninja Academy, there have been many instances where no one has passed, but a perfect score has never been achieved."

Sitting next to Sarada, Meiko nodded: "The purpose of the written test is to help us remember the knowledge taught at school. The first half of the second test is about applying that knowledge. The second half is where the most crucial element is physical strength."

Metal scratched his head: "Why can't I understand what you're saying? I know every single word..."

Lu Tai patted him on the shoulder: "You don't need that. Even though your score isn't high enough, you'll still pass. You just need to know when the last minute is."

At this moment, Chocho Akimichi, who had been rubbing her stomach, lay on the table and said, "How much longer until the food arrives? I'm so hungry!"

Yamanaka Hana ruffled Akimichi Chocho's hair: "It'll be ready soon. Have some snacks to tide you over."

"Do not."

Chocho Akimichi shook her head violently: "I've been starving all day for this meal. If I eat my snacks now, wouldn't all my efforts be wasted?"

These words made Lu Tai rub his temples. He felt that compared to his father's generation, his generation seemed to be even more difficult to manage!

at the same time……

In the next private room, besides the miserable Naruto who was still working overtime, the parents of several children, who were from the same cohort, were all there.

Among them are Shikamaru's wife Temari and Akimichi Choji's wife Karui.

"Brother Yun." "Teacher Yun."

Sasuke and Hinata bowed slightly.

Yun waved his hand casually: "I'm only five years older than you, yet I act like your elder. But speaking of which, it really has been a long time since we've gotten together."

As she spoke, Yun looked at Tenten and Neji, who seemed a little uneasy, and said, "Have Yako come to my house for dinner tomorrow afternoon. Around that time, the Jonin training assessment will be over."

These words immediately put Tenten and Neji at ease.

Overjoyed, the twelve young men, now parents themselves, are now most concerned about the next generation, a fact that is evident on their faces.

Water flows downwards, and so do people.

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Yun."

The two people immediately stood up and bowed at a 90-degree angle, which made Yun feel a little embarrassed.

Nodding for the two to sit down, Yun paused and said, "In fact, space-time talent isn't the only requirement for the Flying Thunder God Technique. Of course, possessing such talent allows one to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. But learning it doesn't mean one can use it..."

Learning something doesn't mean you can apply it.

Neji was somewhat puzzled.

Shikamaru, who had just poured Yun a glass of wine, sat down and explained, "Brother Yun was probably referring to reaction speed, right?"

Sasuke said, "After the Flying Thunder God Technique lands at the coordinates, it's almost like teleportation, traversing space and arriving at the coordinates in an instant. Compared to Amenotejikara, it's just that it has one more conspicuous coordinate."

"But precisely because of this, when arriving at the coordinates in an instant, one's actions must be perfectly timed. Attack, defense, or even evasion..."

"In fact, before activating the ability, all actions after landing must be clearly understood, and the body must be able to keep up with the thought. Otherwise..."

The rest was left unsaid, but Neji, being a genius, already understood.

The talent for space-time only allows Yako to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, but if she wants to use it for combat in addition to traveling, and even reach the level of the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash, she needs a reaction speed beyond that of an ordinary person.

If that speed isn't achieved, then the Flying Thunder God Technique's near-instantaneous teleportation speed is nothing more than crashing one's own body into the enemy's blade.

Yun drank the sake that Shikamaru had just poured for him and tapped the table with his hand: "Do you understand? So, the extent to which he can reach depends on that child's talent. However, the Byakugan's ability is a very good support."

Neji nodded: "In any case, we need to thank Lord Yun for giving us this opportunity."

Yun glanced at him speechlessly: "When I helped you get rid of the caged bird, you were calling me 'Brother Yun' so affectionately..."

Ignoring Neji, who was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear, Yun turned his gaze to Temari and Karui.

But he didn't say anything, he just smiled.

Shikamaru witnessed this scene, and his heart sank.

Nothing in the village could be hidden from this person, and for that reason, as long as this person hadn't come to the Hokage Building from the Uchiha clan's territory, it meant that what had happened was a minor issue.

But what if this small problem concerns his wife...

Shikamaru felt like his head was about to explode.

But why did they both glance at each other?

Both Sunagakure and Kumogakure were involved?

Surely my brother-in-law wouldn't be that unwise?

What's the situation like right now? How long can this drag on?

……

Chapter 460: A Nighttime Talk Between Husband and Wife

Before Gaara became the Fifth Kazekage, the relationship between Konoha and Sunagakure was very poor.

Or, to put it another way, because the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth are separated only by the Land of Rain, the three great nations have been constantly fighting each other due to their geographical location, including during the Third Shinobi World War.

Minor skirmishes are constant, and major wars are also on the horizon.

However, since Gaara became the Fifth Kazekage, due to a series of reasons, the relationship between Sunagakure and Konoha has become the best.

This can be seen from the fact that Shikamaru and Temari broke down the barriers between major powers through marriage, a groundbreaking move that began in Sunagakure.

but……

Shikamaru was somewhat stunned.

Brother Yun's gaze, the timing, and the specific person he chose were all special. Others didn't notice, but he could clearly sense the unusualness in it.

"Shikamaru, what's wrong?"

After more than a decade of getting to know each other, Temari looked at Shikamaru and asked him a question with a puzzled expression.

Shikamaru smiled and said casually, "I'm a little surprised by the necessary conditions for learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, but even if my reaction speed isn't fast enough, this technique is still very convenient for traveling."

Temari nodded and smiled, "If Yako can learn it, it will be much easier for her to visit her family back in the village. After all, the Fourth Hokage and Lord Kumo are not as easy to ask for help as Yako."

Shikamaru chuckled and shook his head slightly.

However, in his mind, he was analyzing his wife's expression just now.

It seems... there's nothing unusual.

Even when he mentioned returning to Sunagakure to visit relatives, he said it so openly and naturally, in front of Brother Yun, with complete composure.

"By the way, Shikamaru, how's the situation at Research Division 1 going? Do you need any help?"

The sudden question made Choji pause for a moment, even as he picked up the grilled meat.

Shikamaru was slightly taken aback and unconsciously looked at Temari.

Fortunately, Temari didn't pay attention and continued chatting with Sakura beside her.

"Brother Yun, since you didn't get involved in the first place, it means that this matter wasn't a big problem, right?"

Shikamaru sighed and said, "If we have to rely on Brother Yun for everything, then there's no point in us existing."

Yun waved his hand: "That's not right. Without you guys, if I had to do everything myself to make changes in the ninja world over the past ten years, I'd probably be exhausted to death."

"However, you're right, it's not a big problem. Some things, more than a decade later, are already set in stone, and no one can stop them from happening."

As he spoke, Yun took a sip of wine and looked at everyone present. More than a decade had passed, and these little guys from back then had now become the leaders of Konoha.

"No one can stop the unification process—not the four great ninja villages, not the various small countries, and certainly not those so-called high-ranking officials!"

"It's not like it was a decade or two ago now. The majority of ordinary people at the bottom have become accustomed to the benefits of peace. With all the connections in the world, the middle and lower classes also crave the same things. Some clowns can't make a fuss about it."

"If someone jumps too high, just slap them to death. If they jump too frequently, a light tap will do."

After he finished speaking, the private room fell silent.

These words, spoken by the very person before us, are suggestive and their implications are thought-provoking.

Even Ino looked up slightly in confusion, glancing at Temari and the others out of the corner of her eye.

After a while, Yun smiled and tapped the table: "Don't be so nervous... Let's drink, let's drink. It's been a long time since we got together, let's not make the atmosphere so dull."

……

At the gathering, Tian Tian, ​​as the host, clearly achieved her goal.

However, the guests who were there to accompany the guests ended the second half of the event with heavy hearts.

"boom."

After the door closed, Temari sat down directly on the sofa in the living room.

Shikamaru then hugged the sleeping Shikadai tightly in the bedroom, then closed the door and left.

"Activate the shielding barrier. As the Hokage's assistant, you have certain powers within your household."

As soon as he entered, Shikamaru felt a pressure coming towards him.

After a moment's thought, he still set up a barrier.
