Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Boruto asked casually, then picked up a cup of cola and took a sip through the straw.

"Little Nine-Tailed Fox says this is the ultimate comfort drink for couch potatoes, so refreshing!"

At this moment, Yu sighed and replied, "Emotionally, Sister Yakumo should have passed the last test. But... I asked Dad, and he still gave the same answer as always."

Sarada, who was standing nearby, said, "Is it still the goal you're protecting? Actually, before I awakened my Sharingan, all I could think about was how to defeat the enemy and save you and Boruto."

Yu nodded: "So you understand, but I don't. Dad said that when I understand this, the power inherited from his bloodline will appear."

……

Chapter 464: Research Department II

The power originating from the bloodline of the strongest ninja in the world...

After Konoha's Research Division proposed the theory that bloodlines were gradually becoming diluted, Uchiha Yu became the focus of everyone's attention.

This is also the root cause of his personality gradually deteriorating in childhood.

However, it is clear that when the rebellious phase came, Yun used the same illusion combination that he had used to improve Sasuke's personality to quickly fix Yu and Boruto's issues.

At this moment, Boruto, who had just put down his game console, said smugly, "I recently learned my grandpa and dad's signature ninjutsu, which doesn't require hand seals! After we finish at the Research Department 2, I'll take advantage of the time to go to the training ground and show you all what it's like."

Sarada glanced at Yu with some concern, then retorted, "Compared to the Rasengan, the Flying Thunder God Technique is more of the Fourth Hokage's signature ninjutsu, isn't it?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Boruto looked puzzled.

Yu ignored Boruto's boasting and pointed out: "The Fourth Hokage is best known for his Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan without hand seals. Although he is also skilled in sealing techniques, given your personality, you shouldn't be learning sealing techniques."

"As for the Rasengan, you actually used it during the previous assessment using scientific ninja tools when resisting Yakumo-sensei's lightning strike."

After saying that, Yu looked at Sarada and asked, "Your chakra nature is a perfect inheritance from Uncle Sasuke. Have you learned any new ninjutsu during this time?"

Sarada hesitated for a moment before replying, "Some fire and lightning techniques, and the powerful Chidori. However... in reality, I can't use them more than a few times with my chakra."

Boruto: "Yu, did Uncle Yun teach you any powerful ninjutsu? The kind that can be used to finish the job? I'll give you a few blank scrolls and have Uncle Yun print a few in them for me."

"Snapped."

No sooner had Boruto finished speaking than Sarada struck him.

Yu waved his hand and laughed, "It's unnecessary, Sarada. Dad said... learning ninjutsu isn't very meaningful to me. Even hand seals are meaningless."

→_→？ →_→？

"How is that possible? Even the Rasengan can't handle all situations. And the number of hand seal ninjutsu is even smaller."

Boruto was a little confused.

Sarada asked doubtfully, "I heard Yako mention before that the Hyuga clan doesn't learn ninjutsu because the Byakugan and Gentle Fist techniques are already sufficient. But the Sharingan and Byakugan are quite different..."

Yu shook her head slightly: "Although I don't know yet, what Dad said might not be what these things mean. But don't worry, I'm not in a hurry."

"Whether I can find that thing that I'm willing to risk my life for, there's no point in being anxious."

Yu stood up and said, "Now that we've finished eating and it's about time, we should head to the Second Research Department. This trip was all thanks to Boruto's promising talent!"

……

Research Department II.

Unlike the Research Department centered around Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, this department mainly develops scientific products that can be used by ordinary people.

Examples include trams, solar power generation in the Land of Wind, and computer networks, but given the ambitions of Tono Katasuke and Kaminari Kaminari, they are not willing to stop there.

So...

Scientific ninja tools were developed.

The essence of chakra lies in possessing this aptitude, or rather, it is the supernatural energy refined from the combination of spiritual energy and physical energy, which is the seed given by the Sage of Six Paths when he founded the Ninjutsu sect thousands of years ago.

Scientific ninja tools, on the other hand, have found another medium for this energy-forming ninja technique.

That is, a miniature scroll.

The latest research result of the Second Research Division is to store the ninjutsu for a certain period of time before releasing it, ensuring that the power of the stored ninjutsu will not be weakened.

"Young Master, you've finally arrived."

After a series of checks, the three finally entered the inner layer of the Second Research Department.

Katsuke Tono had been waiting for a long time, and his gaze toward Boruto even carried a hint of dread.

“Young Master, as you know, security here is not our responsibility. Otherwise, there would be no need for a check when you arrived.”

Katasuke rubbed his hands together as he spoke: "You know, the entire Hidden Leaf Village belongs to your family, let alone a small research department... right?"

Uh ←_←

After a barrage of compliments, Boruto noticed that his two friends behind him were looking at him strangely.

"Why do you always have to say these irrelevant things? I've told you so many times, I really can't influence the research budget of the research department every year. Even my dad needs to hold many meetings to make a decision!"

Boruto said, extending his hand and pointing his thumb at Yu: "I think from today onwards you can address someone else as such. This guy's father holds the highest advisory power. You don't know what that means, do you?"

With a single move to shift the blame, Uchiha Yu was stunned for a moment before instantly realizing what was happening.

"Don't even think about it! I don't have any influence with my dad. If you come to me, your research budget for the Second Research Department might be wiped out next year."

Tono Katasuke looked at Yu: "This must be Lord Yun's son... You're right, regarding the budget, Lord Yun hasn't given any suggestions since the first major meeting."

"The village holds no secrets for that person, so there's no way to get started."

Boruto glanced at him: "So you came to me?"

Tono Kata adjusted his glasses: "Boruto, are the scientific ninja tools any good?"

"Hmm? Hmm... It works very well, but Dad said that unless you are facing a real enemy, you should still complete the assessments and such by your own strength, otherwise you will become dependent on it."

Boruto pointed to the bracelet on his wrist, the safety mechanism of which remained closed.

Sarada glanced at Boruto and said, "I didn't expect you to be so understanding. It seems that Uncle Yun's special training is really effective."

Boruto waved his hand: "I'm not stupid. The training and assessment are difficult, but there's definitely no danger to my life. Even if there is, Uncle Yun can probably pull me back from the Pure Land if I die."

"But if this gives everyone the illusion that I'm very strong, wouldn't it mean that the enemy is also incredibly strong in dangerous missions? If I die, it would be my own fault."

After listening for a while, Tono Katasuke nodded.

"Boruto, Yu, and Sarada, let me show you around first."

The three stopped talking and followed the head of the second research department into the building.

……

"In fact, Boruto is right. The original purpose of scientific ninja tools was simply to enable ordinary people to have the ability to unleash ninjutsu."

"Because compared to ordinary people, there are very few ninjas. As a result, many situations that require the use of ninjutsu or chakra become very difficult."

Katasuke Tono opened the door to a laboratory as he spoke.

The three people behind him followed him inside.

Boruto asked in confusion, "But a few years ago, I kept hearing that the ninja profession was outdated, and the workload had decreased. Even the Akimichi clan needed help from the Research Department."

Katasuke smiled and said, "Boruto, would you be willing to leave Konoha and settle in another part of the Land of Fire?"

"Huh?"

Boruto shook his head violently: "How could that be? My mom, dad, and Himawari are all in Konoha. How could I leave?"

Yu: "Because of the habitual system of ninja villages more than ten years ago, ninjas were concentrated in one place, and ninja villages were formed. This also caused the concentration of ninja resources, right?"

Kata nods: "Young Master Yu is right. Although trams have made transportation more convenient, ingrained habits cannot be changed in just over a decade."

"Om..."

At that moment, a buzzing sound caught the attention of the three.

In front of an incomprehensible machine, five people were continuously unleashing wind-style ninjutsu, while a young man in a white coat was taking notes.

The experiment ended when all five people were exhausted and all eighteen Wind Release ninjutsu were used.

"Yu, Boruto, and Sarada, you've arrived. We've been waiting for you for a long time."

The recorder's turn of the head startled the three students from Class 7.

"Electrical?" *3

Boruto quickly went over and said happily, "So you chose to come to the Research Department 2? Looks like you're doing well."

Yu was somewhat surprised, but then glanced at the name tag on his chest: "Raimon Electric? It seems we've been hiding a rich kid all along..."

Raimen Electric scratched his head shyly: "I'm not exactly a rich kid. My dad said that the research results of the Second Research Department belong to the village, and most of the profits of Raimen Group also belong to the village."

Yu smiled and said, "You have a high level of awareness."

Yes, we dare not be less aware of our responsibilities...

As one of the heads of the Second Research Department, Raimon Etsu was very clear about what his real strengths were.

This brilliant mind, capable of working with Katasuke to complete a series of plans, was the key to his ability to know about the village's plan to exploit them in advance.

They can be wealthy, but the head of the Uchiha clan would never allow someone to be richer than a country.

Even the strongest ninja in the world only lives in a villa with a small yard.

And what about Kaminarimon Etsuki?

The villa has a garden and swimming pool, luxury cars are parked right outside, and there is private security—all of this is permitted.

But that's all. If those numbers are about to break through a certain limit, that's when the higher-ups will start to fleece them. This was told to him personally by the person who had fully supported him and his assistant in establishing the Second Research Department...

Leimen Electric, as the son, didn't know much, but after failing the graduation assessment, he was told that the person had personally named him to join the Second Research Department.

He was the first person, apart from the two chief executives, to receive such treatment.

So after graduation, he came here. His first dream of becoming a ninja had come to an end, and he had to realize his second dream.

"Want to take a look?"

Raimon Electric reached out and shut off some device, and the object that had just been flashing light on the platform came into view.

A palm-sized, vortex-like circular object was seen being held and protruding out.
