Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Caught off guard, Boruto condensed a Rasengan and threw it out, only to have it blocked by a bubble.

"Bang! Boom!!"

An explosion rang out, and behind the dust came the approaching Yurui once again.

"boom!!!"

With an explosion, Boruto was blasted away.

The next moment, all the bubbles converged, clearly indicating that the opponent wanted to decide the outcome in one fell swoop.

On the high platform.

Mabui said calmly, "It's over."

Naruto frowned and shook his head slightly: "Not yet."

The two completely different statements made the other three shadows stare intently at the meeting room.

As the dust settled, a Rasengan landed on Yurui's body.

How could that be?

"During the first explosion, the bubbles blocked the Rasengan but also blocked Yurui's view. At that time, Boruto used a clone instead of his original body."

"What a clever kid..."

"Shouldn't you say cunning? He acted out that sense of urgency and panic very well."

"The first match is over. It seems that the Cloud Village's tactics have failed."

……

Back in the rest room, Boruto clenched his fist and said, "We won the first match!"

At this moment, the random list for the second match was also released. Shikadai walked over and gave Boruto a high-five: "I'll win the second match soon."

The two brushed past each other, and Boruto breathed a sigh of relief after sitting down.

He looked at his two teammates and smiled, "The other side was careless. Luckily, we managed to keep our trump card. That Shinki from Sunagakure, the one who greeted me at the hamburger shop, he put a lot of pressure on me."

Sarada: "Yeah, it seems that because of the two of you, all the villages are really putting in a lot of effort this season..."

Yu, standing to the side, shrugged: "Until I find the thing Dad mentioned, I'm really not that strong. You know, even the second exam was a struggle."

Sarada walked over and punched Yu on the shoulder: "Then try your best to find it! We are Class 7, Class 7 who have inherited the will of our fathers!"

Sarada then looked at Yako and said, "Speaking of which, Yako's trump card isn't that, is it?"

Yako looked up and smiled: "Although we're not skilled yet, we'd still be rivals if we met before, right? Telling you now would just get us targeted."

As she spoke, Yako sighed, "Actually, the last thing I wanted was to meet you, Sarada, before the final showdown. However, it would be something to look forward to if we could team up in the final match."

Sarada waved her hand: "I'm not as strong as you think. If you're trying to extract information, I won't tell you so easily..."

……

Time flies, and the knockout stage is coming to an end.

Since Boruto's first match, people from all five villages have been eliminated.

On Konoha's side, only Team 7, along with Mei and Shikadai, remain.

And the last match was also the grand finale.

Uchiha Yu VS Araya.

This match has garnered special attention from everyone.

As the only son of the strongest ninja in the world, Uchiha Yu has always been portrayed as mediocre and ordinary. However, the bloodline theory that arose more than a decade ago still makes them suspicious, wondering if this was Konoha's deliberate act.

But what is the point of doing this?

When the four great ninja villages targeted Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Kumo was merely a shadow clone, yet he deterred everyone from making any further moves.

The possibility of it dying prematurely is almost nonexistent.

On the high platform, the figures who had initially become bored regained some of their energy.

"That man's son..."

"The power inherited from one's bloodline, whether physical or mental, even if one cannot unleash its full potential due to youth, is already beyond the reach of ordinary people..."

"Hokage... During the Chunin Exams, will this person continue to hide?"

Naruto was quite helpless upon hearing this.

You're asking me? I don't know either!

God knows what really happened!

Boruto said that it was Brother Yun who wanted Yu to find his inner self, because only by finding it could he unlock the power within his body.

So... this child really didn't hide anything; what he showed was already everything.

"To be honest... I don't know either."

→_→→_→

Four pairs of eyes turned to Naruto at the same time.

Gaara said in a deep voice, "Based on the strength he showed before, it would be difficult for him to defeat Araya."

As soon as the words were spoken, the duel in the hall began.

A cold glint flashed, but the opponent was able to dodge every strike from the short sword, and the same was true for the kunai and shuriken.

Yu retreated at lightning speed, and the shuriken he threw out the next moment was already tied with steel wire.

Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique.

Flames swept across, but the opponent's longsword swept past, severing the dark steel wire and causing the flames to change direction.

Was it discovered from the very beginning?

Yu parried the long sword with his kunai and retreated, his mind replaying the scenes from the very beginning of the match.

No, wearing a mask will affect the peripheral vision, so the other party will not notice it.

"boom!"

The long sword clashed with the short sword, sparks flying everywhere.

In the duel of physical skills, Yu focused all his efforts on analyzing his opponent's characteristics. Distracted, he was slashed open in the chest.

"Whew...that was close!"

Yu, who had retreated, touched his chest. If he hadn't reacted in time to retreat, that slash would have been enough to end his life.

wrong!

The Sand Village doesn't have Sharingan, so why does it feel like every attack from the opponent is perfectly timed?

In the stands.

Ino was a little nervous, her hands clenched tightly.

Yun, standing to the side, said helplessly, "As a mother, you still have to believe in your son. Don't worry, he's been working very hard ever since he's matured."

Ino glanced back at Yun: "Even when she trusts someone, she still worries. That's what a mother is like..."

Yun smiled and stopped trying to persuade her, because worrying about such emotions is a characteristic of a mother.

Trust and worry are not contradictory. If it weren't for Kai, I probably wouldn't have known that the child had reached this point.

……

Chapter 469: Is it really okay for you to brag so much?

The center stand of the venue.

Gaara hesitated for a moment before asking, "Hokage, it seems this child really didn't inherit that person's power... or is he still hiding his talent?"

Naruto shook his head slightly: "I really don't know."

Hei Tu smiled and said, "If this kid still can't figure out the problem, then he's probably going to lose."

Chojuro looked at Gaara: "The child that Lord Kazekage brought this time, it seems we should look forward to the semi-finals."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful burst of chakra erupted in the hall.

In an instant, everyone, including the four shadows and Mabui, turned their gazes in that direction.

……

One minute ago, in the competition venue.

"I have a rough idea of ​​what's going on with you."

Uchiha Yu sheathed his short sword and looked at Araya, who was wearing a mask.

"From beginning to end, you only used taijutsu. There were several opportunities, but you didn't use ninjutsu to keep up, and you didn't say a word."

"Furthermore... my wire has a matte finish, making it difficult to detect at close range. And you didn't make any clear observation movements during this process."

"In taijutsu combat, every movement of yours seems perfectly timed. At first, I thought it was a secret technique of Sunagakure, utilizing wind perception or something else..."

"But in the end I found that it wasn't like that. Your actions weren't a response after sensing the opponent, but rather more like having a third-person perspective, being able to react from an outsider's point of view."

"Considering all of the above, and the renowned puppetry of Sunagakure, it's not that you don't want to speak, but rather that Sunagakure's technology hasn't reached the level of Konoha, making it impossible for puppets to perfectly mimic voices. The answer is self-evident... a puppeteer."

The moment the words left his mouth, the puppet controlled by Araya suddenly rushed over.

Clearly, Yu's words had made him panic to some extent.

Dodging the attack, Yu retreated and half-crouched on the ground: "Just as you expected, I also have a trump card that I haven't used yet. However... it will probably disappoint you."

"But... it is through repeatedly pushing my own limits that I have obtained the power that truly belongs to me."

"Open the door! Close the door! Open!"

In an instant, a violent burst of chakra erupted within him, and a green halo formed around his body.

"Your main body never entered the venue from the beginning, so when your puppet was destroyed, you failed."

"It's a pity I don't know how to use a chakra scalpel. Dad always says that these things are meaningless to me. If I did, your tricky methods would be easy to exploit."
