Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

???

Shin-ki was stunned.

Who will challenge the strongest ninja in the world?

You might agree? What a twisted sense of humor!

Are you telling the truth?

Yu shrugged: "I have no reason to lie to you. It was just something I did casually, without any teaching experience whatsoever. All you'll get is your dad's old clichés."

"Of course. If he's in a bad mood that day, you might get flicked away with a single finger. No, I mean you might not even be able to get through the door, ending up circling around or running back to Sunagakure exhausted?"

Running in circles in place or running back to Sunagakure?

What does it mean?

Shinki let out a sigh of relief: "I'll give it a try, thank you. Also... in the first two assessments we were both hiding our trump cards, but you hid them for even longer."

"I look forward to meeting you in the elimination rounds and finals of the third exam. Believe me, I will give it my all, and I ask that you do the same!"

At this point, his two teammates, having ordered their food, came over.

The three of them found a place to sit, neither too close nor too far apart.

Looking bewildered, Yu glanced at his two teammates and said helplessly, "If I told him that I had already given it my all, do you think he would believe me?"

(┯_┯)

Sarada took a sip of her cola, suppressing a smile.

Boruto, standing to the side, trembled, "I definitely don't believe it. The only son of the strongest ninja in the world, he should be born with a three-tomoe Sharingan, awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan at four, awaken the Rinnegan at eight, and be able to destroy the world with a wave of his hand... Hmm, that's more reasonable!"

These words made Uchiha Yu purse his lips, and he reached out and took the cola that Uchiha Yu hadn't drunk yet.

"I paid for it, so I won't buy you a Coke."

Boruto: Uh →_→

……

On the other side, the trio from Sunagakure sat together.

"Shin-hi, was that the man's son just now?"

"Yes, Uchiha Yu."

"They don't seem any different. In the previous exams, it seems like if it weren't for the Hokage's son, they would have been eliminated in the second round, right?"

Shinki let out a breath: "Most confident candidates will hide their strength because the third round is an individual duel, an elimination round and a final, where information is very important."

The two teammates nodded.

Yoru turned and glanced at Konoha: "However... I've heard another story these past few days. It seems that Uchiha Yu didn't inherit his father's talent, or even his mother's."

Araya leaned back and said, "I've only heard about it... Shinki and I think this guy might have been hiding his true strength all along. After all, even if it's just a little bit, that person's name is real."

"Do you remember? The village's records about that person: Uzumaki Sora fought against the Akatsuki organization of Amegakure with absolute power. When he was a teenager, the aftershocks of the battle sank the border of the Land of Fire and changed the landscape there."

"With absolute power, we will bring peace to the entire ninja world. We will develop technology, using it and ninjas to drive productivity across the entire ninja world, greening the deserts, increasing food production, and making transportation more convenient..."

"The tremendous changes in the entire ninja world over the past ten years are all due to him alone. The Akatsuki organization has remained in Amegakure and kept to themselves until now, all because of this man's suppression."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shinki let out a breath.

After a long pause, he spoke directly: "I want to challenge that lord."

Araya: (°Д°)丿

Night soil: (丿○Д○)丿

Both teammates were stunned.

So, what you just said gave you confidence?

How can it be?

"I know it's impossible to win."

Shinki reached out his hand, and the iron sand on his body gradually coalesced into the shape of a miniature Shukaku.

"My father said that when he was about to fall into complete darkness, it was that person who pulled him out of the darkness. With a wave of his hand, he subdued the tail and taught him to see the world in a new light."

"I could never win against that kind of power. But from my father's story, I could also sense that he, too, felt a trace of resentment."

"The arrival of peace has made life in the village better and better, which is why my father has always supported Konoha. But why can't the center be Sunagakure?"

"So... I want to go and see, to see just how big the gap is between myself and that person."

As she said this, Shinki looked up and noticed the worried looks on her two teammates' faces.

"Don't worry, I don't have any other ideas. The village's life is getting better and better, and that's the most practical thing."

Upon hearing this, both teammates breathed a sigh of relief.

Araya couldn't help but say, "Regarding that longevity technology, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Tu stopped him: "Lord Fengying warned us not to discuss such matters."

Araya: "Everyone already knows. Although there must be someone behind this, it's okay to talk about it, right?"

Just then, the LCD TV hanging in the hamburger shop suddenly switched to a different screen.

On the ninja world news channel, a voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Now for a breaking news update."

"After research and discussion at the Hokage Building, the village that ranks first in the overall evaluation of this Chunin Exam will be awarded a quota that extends the lifespan of its inhabitants by twenty years."

"It is worth noting that the use of life extension quotas is not suitable for everyone. Rejuvenation requires cells and tissues from twenty years ago."

"In other words, if this quota is used on a dying person who does not have the same cells and tissues as they did twenty years ago, then it will be meaningless."

"Furthermore, according to the latest research findings of Konoha's Research Division 1, because the experimental materials needed to extend lifespan are precious, Konoha will sell the remaining spots after this Chunin Exam."

That concludes this segment. We wish all candidates the best of luck in achieving their goals...

No one listened to what was said after that. Even the cashier at the burger shop was still absorbed in the news they had just heard.

Changsheng Technology... is it real?

Moreover... Konoha is even planning to officially sell the spots after the Chunin Exams?

In an instant, everyone on the streets of Konoha who heard the news stopped in their tracks and stood frozen in place, as the news was projected onto the large screen.

After a while, the sounds caused by the Body Flicker Technique rose and fell, and the sound of people making phone calls could be heard incessantly in various groups that had offices in Konoha.

For these guys who have been swept up by the tide of the times, they don't lack money; what they lack now is how much longer they can enjoy this kind of life.

Compared to a decade or so ago, in a ninja world where the five great ninja villages are no longer at war and life is getting better and better with technology, they really don't want to die of old age.

As for how much Konoha will sell for?

Isn't it tragic that a person dies before they've spent all their money?

Hamburger shop.

Uchiha Yu's eye twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "The sickle for harvesting leeks has already been raised."

Boruto, beaming with excitement, asked, "How much will this sell for? One hundred million taels?"

Sarada glanced at Boruto and said, "You're hopeless. Do you really think 100 million ryo is possible? If it's about fleecing people, it should be at least 10 billion, right?"

Uchiha Yu sighed: "Use it and then discard it, harvest wealth and then use that wealth again. Times have changed, and the methods must change accordingly."

Sarada was somewhat surprised: "This doesn't sound like something you would say."

Yu: "That's what my dad said. I'm just borrowing it for a while. After round after round, the super-rich will be reduced to an acceptable level. Perhaps there will be further policies, which is called wealth redistribution."

Boruto clenched his fist, and his knuckles cracked.

"I'm determined to be number one this time! When this spot sells, I'll be rolling in it all! I'll live the high life, have Little Nine-Tailed Fox recognize me as his big brother, and have Uncle Fei take me traveling everywhere!"

Yu sighed: "One of them has already gone mad."

Sarada: "There will be many more crazy ones to follow."

……

Just as Sarada said, after the Konoha news aired, those who already knew about the rumors, especially those with enormous wealth, went crazy.

Immediately, the Konoha Research Department launched its cell and tissue storage service, offering one slot per day at a high price.

In just one hour, the appointment was already booked a year and a half in advance.

In addition, batches of people who originally didn't care about the Chunin Exams also flocked to Konoha.

They hadn't forgotten that the first spot had become the reward for the first place winner of the Chunin Exams.

Buy it! Buy it!

……

Chapter 467: Why is it always Nara?

A rumor is just a rumor at first.

Although most people knew about it, no one dared to actually go to the Hokage Building to inquire about its authenticity.

No one dared to go to Konoha with a knife and forcibly obtain this so-called longevity technology.

but now……

Konoha has publicly acknowledged this technique and is offering it as a reward for the first place winner of the Joint Chunin Exams—a twenty-year lifespan.

This move had a sensational effect among the wealthy who had made their fortunes through the booming industries of the past decade or so.

More than a decade ago, most of the leaders of large caravans were middle-aged. Now, more than a decade later, some of them are facing the problem of old age.

Another group of younger people also noticed the key points in the news.

Precious experimental materials, only a few remaining slots available for sale...

Clearly, even Konoha, and even the First Research Division which has created countless miracles, cannot achieve an endless supply of immortality.

Since the number of spots is limited, these young people also need to prepare.
