Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"In this peaceful era, with endless entertainment options and countless delicacies, in such a world without worries and full of joy and happiness, are your masters really willing to leave like this?"

"Isn't the saddest thing in a person's life to die before they've spent all their money?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Pick up your phones and talk to your bosses! Tell them there's an opportunity now, a chance to get closer to immortality!"

"As everyone knows, there is only one person in Konoha who can offer this opportunity!"

"What are you waiting for? Make an offer!"

……

Behind Naruto in the center of the audience, Shikamaru's eye twitched.

Naruto rubbed his temples, but didn't say much.

Mabui, who was sitting on the far side as a representative of Kumogakure, had a very unpleasant expression on her face.

That guy who recklessly waved his hand to auction off the seats was the same person who invaded Kumogakure more than a decade ago using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, forcing the Fifth Raikage, Darui, to sacrifice himself in a mutual destruction!

But this guy, now that he's changed his name, is able to live peacefully and recklessly in Konoha!

"Naruto..."

After thinking for a moment, Gaara still spoke up to remind him.

Naruto turned his head and glanced at Shikamaru.

Understanding the unspoken message, Shikamaru turned and left.

In no time, Obito, who was gesturing wildly, was taken away by two ANBU members, and his seat was quickly sold by Shikamaru.

……

In a private lounge.

Obito: (┯_┯)

"Don't look at me like that. Do you remember what you said yesterday?"

Shikamaru rubbed his forehead; he truly hadn't expected this turn of events.

I originally thought this guy just wanted to watch the match, but before the match even started, he pulled off a major surprise.

Obito was on the verge of tears: "Do you know how hard it is for me to earn some money? Why is it always the Nara family? Do you have a grudge against me?"

"During my years as the leader of Akatsuki, I never targeted the Nara clan! Why are you always the ones targeting me?"

These words amused and annoyed Shikamaru. He glanced at the guy and said, "Do you think that after more than ten years, those people have already forgotten their hatred?"

“Mabui was the secretary of the Fourth and Fifth Raikage. He was already acquainted with the Fifth Raikage, Darui, when the Fourth Raikage was still alive.”

"Do you think...she would forget what you did more than a decade ago?"

……

Chapter 468: Do you want to be abandoned?

In the lounge where only the two of them were, Obito was feeling miserable...

Every single time they had a chance to make a lot of money, the Nara family would snatch it away.

It's either Shikaku or Shikamaru!

This father and son must have some kind of grudge against me...

Looking back on those years when I was the boss, I never offended them at all!

"More than a decade has passed, and you've probably begun to forget the advice that Lord Yun and the Fourth Hokage gave you back then."

Shikamaru said with a serious expression, "Unifying the ninja world under a peaceful and stable transition is the best choice. Because when you were the mastermind behind Akatsuki, you did not cause any real damage to Konoha. With the consent of the Fourth Hokage and Lord Kumo, you were finally allowed to return to Konoha."

"Or do you think that changing your name to Afei will prevent the people of Yunyin from recognizing you? Or do you think that these guys are no longer a threat and can be easily suppressed?"

Obito pursed his lips, thinking to himself, "Isn't that right?"

As long as that guy is there, and the one from Amegakure and the one from Konoha are the same person, it's like they can easily crush him, right?

The reason I chose to return to Konoha at that time was largely because I knew this secret.

Shikamaru glanced at Obito's expression and knew what the guy was thinking.

After sighing, Shikamaru said, "We've enjoyed peace and prosperity for over a decade. Now, whether it's Konoha or the other four great ninja villages, the people at the grassroots level don't want war to break out."

"Based on this, a need for harmony has been formed. The new era has undergone more than a decade of development, and it is no longer the era when a disagreement could lead to a war simply because the top leadership said so."

"Indeed, if Lord Yun goes to Kumogakure, he can get the desired result. But such new hatred will inevitably be buried in his heart, and the Akatsuki organization can no longer take action as they did when they destroyed the Daimyo's mansion."

Shikamaru slowly walked towards Obito, his gaze fixed on the other's eyes.

"At a time like this, if the Hidden Cloud Village goes crazy and exposes your true identity, using the lives of everyone in the Land of Lightning as leverage to make you pay the price, do you think the Hidden Leaf Village will protect you?"

"Gu..."

Obito swallowed hard. Shikamaru's eyes told him that if that situation came to pass, he, a former Konoha rogue ninja, would receive no protection whatsoever.

Because when all the secrets are revealed, his status in Konoha won't even be better than that of an ordinary person.

The mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization, a major villain who once wanted to destroy the ninja world with the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

With such a status, not to mention the other four great ninja villages, even the remnants of noble families in the Land of Fire would have countless people wanting him dead.

Those conglomerates and tycoons, as a new generation of nobles, are even more worried that the destruction of the Daming Prefecture will happen again, and they will also want him dead.

"I see."

Obito's deep voice rang out, and he lowered his head, no longer daring to look directly into Shikamaru's eyes.

Although he has returned to his former personality since Lin's resurrection, it should be noted that he was no longer the same simpleton he was more than thirty years ago.

His current life, whether it's Kakashi or Rin, are things he doesn't want to lose.

To become a rat in the shadows again, even if one is not afraid of being hunted down by those outside Konoha with one's own strength, will ultimately lead to the loss of everything one has now.

Shikamaru kept looking at Obito, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't show up at the Chunin Exams this time. Go to the security force. They're on alert at all times. If there's an emergency, just let them handle it."

Obito was stunned for a moment, then looked up in confusion and asked, "Someone is trying to cause trouble? How is that possible? Who would dare to do that? Black Zetsu is hiding right now; if he enters Konoha, he'll definitely be caught."

Shikamaru frowned and shook his head slightly: "Don't ask too many questions, it's just to be on the safe side."

"laugh!"

Obito waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, I got it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the alternate dimension and headed towards the security forces.

Shikamaru sighed again, turned and left the lounge, heading towards the venue.

After such a long delay, I wonder if that kid Lutai has even played yet.

……

Meeting place.

After Obito was taken away, the security forces intervened to quell the somewhat chaotic scene, and in the end, Jiraiya's seat was not sold.

However, as the most famous action romance film screenwriter of the new era, this amount of money is nothing to him.

The guy who bought the seat was staring longingly at Yun, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

Yun ignored the leeks that were about to be harvested, looked at the big screen in the venue, and said to Ino, "If nothing unexpected happens, Yu will probably have a hard time getting through the elimination rounds."

Ino was somewhat surprised: "Are all the genin in this batch this strong?"

Yun replied, "The main thing is that most of the kids have their own trump cards, like Sarada's Sharingan, Boruto's Rasengan, and... this kid always manages to pull off some unexpected things."

Ino looked at Yun: "What's wrong with Boruto?"

Yun smiled and shook his head: "Today is the knockout stage and the semi-finals. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to see them. It's pointless to say it now."

At this moment, seeing that the two had finished their conversation, the group representative finally found an opportunity and immediately got up to come over and say hello to get some information.

However, the next moment...

He found that as soon as he tried to get up, it was as if his whole body was being pressed down, just enough to make him unable to move.

He wanted to call for help, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

How...how could this happen?

Having abandoned the idea of ​​getting up and speaking, all the pressure vanished in an instant.

This situation made him understand in an instant, and his gaze went directly towards Uchiha Yun's direction.

How could such a thing exist in the world? There was simply no way to resist it!

……

"Match 1: Boruto vs. Yorui!"

Lee Rock, acting as the host, announced the two teams for the first elimination match.

As the son of the Fifth Hokage, Boruto's duel has obviously attracted everyone's attention.

"The Rasengan that disappeared halfway through the second exam really surprised everyone!"

"So... no wonder he's the Hokage's son?"

"But the Cloud Village should have figured out a counter tactic by now, right?"

With just a few words, Mabuyi, who was still in a daze, came back to her senses.

Looking at the venue, he said, "The Hokage's son, his chakra possesses wind and lightning, right? So when the Rasengan is formed, the mutually restraining attributes flow on the surface, causing it to appear to disappear."

"But just because it's undetectable doesn't mean it's really gone. If used as a means of surprise attack, it's naturally hard to defend against, but when intelligence is clear, its effectiveness is greatly reduced."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people in the arena had already finished their initial physical probing.

As Yurui blew bubble gum, colorful bubbles surrounded him, creating a protective barrier.

Boruto frowned as he looked at the area filled with bubbles: "How are you going to attack in this situation?"

Yurui smiled and said, "You'll find out soon enough."

With the last bubble expelled, it was clear that the quantity had reached a level that satisfied him.

So when the last bubble formed, it actually entered the bubble and floated in mid-air. All the surrounding bubbles automatically avoided it, and it floated directly towards Boruto.
