Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Yun took a bite of the bread in her hand as she spoke. This guy ran out of chips last night, and he actually wants to get something for free this morning?

Ha ha……

Even with the combined power of Black and White Zetsu and Obito's current strength, Itachi, who had just awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, would really be no match for him.

If you add Pain to the mix, well... if Itachi goes looking for trouble, he's just asking for it.

Yun's answer made Itachi somewhat depressed. When he looked at Shisui, Shisui shrugged and said, "I told you this morning, I really don't know these two names."

"But where did you get these two names? The surname Ōtsutsuki is quite strange."

Itachi sighed, looked at the two of them, and said in a low voice, "Last night... I went to a strange alternate dimension, and the information that automatically appeared in my mind told me that it was an information exchange."

"Using bargaining chips to exchange for information, the chips can be one's own talent or bloodline limit, such as the Sharingan. But... in giving up the chips, one does not lose anything."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shisui hurriedly asked, "How many chips did you pay up? And besides Amaterasu with its black flames, what other abilities does your Mangekyou Sharingan have?!"

Seeing Shisui's shocked expression, Itachi became somewhat curious.

Yun patted Shisui on the shoulder: "Don't rush, wait for Itachi to finish. I'm also quite curious about whether he can use his own abilities and talents as bargaining chips, or even from another dimension."

Shisui exhaled, looked at the clouds, and then said, "He contacted me a year ago, and nearly five years ago, when the Hokage's son was born, he made a deal with the Hokage."

The words had barely left his mouth when Itachi suddenly looked at Shisui: "Nearly five years ago... the day the Hokage was born, which was also the day my father was killed. Is there... a connection between these two events?"

Shisui nodded slightly: "Now that you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, you already possess the initial power to understand these things. The Hokage once told me that the person he traded with was a shadowy figure, but when he traded with me..."

"Perhaps because I knew we already knew his identity, what I saw was Uzumaki Sora!"

A vortex void?!

Itachi's gaze was serious as he waited for Shisui's reply.

Shisui glanced at the clouds and continued, "Uzumaki Sora is the merchant who traded information. The Hokage contacted him about the crisis in Konoha that night."

"That night, a masked man with Sharingan attempted to take advantage of the seal within the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who was giving birth to Kushina, the wife of the Hokage, and use the power of the Nine-Tails to destroy Konoha."

"This information led to the Hokage giving away his Flying Thunder God Technique and some of his talents to Uzumaki Sora."

"Later, the masked man with the Sharingan had his arm severed by Uzumaki Sora, after which he gained the ability to use Wood Release. The Hokage suspects that he may even be able to make deals with people who have already returned to the Pure Land."

"That is... the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju."

After Shisui finished speaking, Itachi clenched his fists.

Perhaps yesterday I shouldn't have asked about the identity of the murderer who killed my father, but rather about the masked man with the Sharingan. Given the existence of the Sharingan, that person's name should be found in the history of the Uchiha clan.

At this moment, Yun scratched his head, somewhat dissatisfied: "You just got the Kaleidoscope and he's already looking for you, but why hasn't he come looking for me after I've had the Kaleidoscope for so long?"

Shisui looked at Yun: "Yun, is there any information you want to know?"

Nodding casually, Yun replied, "I just want to ask him how long it will take for my wish to just laze around in Konoha and wait to die to be fulfilled."

This answer made Shisui smirk and look at Itachi, asking, "Besides the black flames, what is the ability of your other eye?"

Itachi made no attempt to hide anything and said directly, "Illusion, a kind of illusion called Tsukuyomi. Tsukuyomi can pull a person into another dimension the instant their eyes meet, and everything in that dimension is under my control."

"And in reality, one instant is seventy-two hours in the Tsukuyomi space. That is to say, the person who is hit by Tsukuyomi will be tortured by me in the Tsukuyomi space for seventy-two hours after one instant in reality."

"That is... a mental breakdown."

After speaking, Shisui said with a solemn expression, "It seems that Uzumaki Sora has already acquired your abilities. With Wood Release and the Mangekyou Sharingan, he is becoming stronger and stronger..."

After a moment, Shisui looked at Yun and asked, "I've never asked you about your abilities before because information about them is a matter of life and death. Yun, what is your Kaleidoscope ability?"

Yun scratched his head...

I have quite a few Mangekyou Sharingan abilities, and it's fortunate that the Susanoo that destroyed Root wasn't seen later.

What abilities should I mention here?

Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, two kinds of pronouncements?

and many more……

There's also the power of the secret scroll; the ability to create clones cannot be revealed, and reconciliation is possible...

Yun pondered for a moment, and Itachi, who was standing to the side, also looked over, but since he thought Yun was considering it, he didn't think much of it.

"Amaterasu is quite damaging to me, so I've never used it. One of my abilities is Amaterasu."

"And the other Shisui should have seen it, able to foresee the future two seconds into the future, with a cooldown of five minutes."

Shisui nodded, about to say something, when Yun continued, "The ability to speak of fate has another advanced version: Rewind! It can rewind the injuries of a dying person to the point before the injury occurred, but the cooldown time for this ability... is one day!"

The second ability, completely different from Itachi's, fooled both of them. The casting of Tsukuyomi could be explained as a normal genjutsu of the Sharingan.

However, this means that those who participate in the next monthly reading starting today will not be allowed to live.

After thinking for a moment, Yun patted Itachi's shoulder beside him: "If you get injured in the future, remember to come to me. It would be best if you could be by my side when you are half dead, so that it would be like you have a second life."

Itachi nodded coolly, then stood up and bowed to Yun and Shisui: "Although I don't know who Kaguya Otsutsuki and Indra are yet, I hope to ask you for help when I find that person called Black Zetsu."

The Itachi at this moment is completely different from the one I remember.

The fact that he was able to ask for help from himself and Shisui in advance clearly shows that he also understands that even with the Kaleidoscope, he is still no match for them.

Yun and Shisui looked at each other and smiled. Shisui said seriously, "The death of Clan Chief Fugaku is a matter for the entire Uchiha clan. Yun and I will help you."

Seeing that Yun nodded calmly beside him, Itachi then stood up.

At that moment, a ninja from the communications team pulled back the curtain and said, "The commander requests that the three of you come to the conference room; there are important matters to discuss."

……

Chapter 111: Kushina's Request

In the meeting room at the Konoha camp.

The leaders of all the families participating in the battle are here at this moment.

Jiraiya, seated at the head of the table, looked at the intelligence analysis before him, and then waited until the three Uchiha members entered before raising his head.

Jiraiya's first glance was directed at Itachi Uchiha, and at this moment, not only him, but also the heads of various clans present were all looking at Itachi.

Every now and then, these people would glance at Yun, who was the same age as Itachi.

This generation of the Uchiha clan is truly blessed by the heavens.

Three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan that surpass the three-tomoe Sharingan, that special ability, and that enormous chakra giant.

Just those eyes alone could become an insurmountable barrier for most ordinary ninjas, a barrier they could never cross in their entire lives.

"Uchiha Itachi, since we heard that you awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan yesterday, we have invited you to attend this meeting as well."

Uchiha Itachi nodded and gestured to the heads of the various clans around him, saying, "I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Nara Shikaku smiled and said, "I hope that with such eyes, the Uchiha will take care of our clan on the battlefield in the future."

After some polite exchanges, Itachi and Yun followed Shisui and took their seats.

Jiraiya, seated at the head of the table, then began to get down to business.

"This war has lasted for more than nine months. I believe you can understand how bad the situation must be for the villages, with most ninjas tied down at the border for nine months."

"Furthermore, we received intelligence from the Hokage that Sunagakure in the Land of Wind is urgently preparing for war. Explosive tags, kunai, shuriken, and large quantities of chakra metal—these items have been fetching increasingly higher prices on the black market lately..."

Once those words were spoken, no one present would be considered a fool.

The soaring prices of military supplies on the black market indicate that many powers are already preparing for war.

During this period, only Kumogakure and Konoha were observing the situation; the other three major ninja villages were watching closely.

"What does the Hokage mean...?" Shikaku asked.

Jiraiya, sitting at the head of the table, sighed: "The Hidden Cloud Village hasn't made any major moves since three months ago, and although our casualties have decreased, we still have a large number of Chunin and Genin stuck here."

At this point, Jiraiya looked at everyone and said, "After several days of discussion, we will leave a portion of our high-level combat forces on the battlefield, withdraw most of our Chunin, and withdraw all of our Genin who were transporting supplies."

"Next, each of our top-tier combatants will be responsible for two sentries to guard against a sneak attack from the Hidden Cloud Village. Meanwhile, within the village, the Hokage and his guards will provide support at any time using the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Flying Thunder God Formation."

So, who are the ones who are willing to stay?

After he finished speaking, the various families below him fell silent for a moment.

This is the meaning of the saying "It is not scarcity that is a concern, but inequality."

Everyone accepted the idea of ​​sending all the villagers to the front lines. After all, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken; if the village is gone, no one can escape.

But at this moment, the village needs people to return to complete missions due to financial problems. The survival rate for completing missions and going to the battlefield are completely different.

After a long while, Jiraiya said, "The head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi, is not at this meeting because he and his brother Hizashi went to the most dangerous sentry posts number twenty-two and twenty-three yesterday."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, Shisui smiled, stood up, and said, "The three of us from the Uchiha clan are willing to take over the guarding of three interconnected outposts."

In fact, Shisui's purpose in coming here was to provide support, but since no one spoke up earlier, he naturally did not want to be the first to speak up and offend anyone.

Since Hyuga had already agreed due to the cause of the war, the Uchiha were able to speak up.

After Uchiha finished speaking, each clan began to select their strongest members.

Among them, the Aburame Shiki and Inuzuka families guard one place, while the Ino-Shika-Cho trio guards two places...

Just then, the curtain in the conference room was opened, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, appeared at the door.

Minato asked with a smile, "I hope I haven't disturbed everyone, but since I really couldn't refuse her, she will also be participating in this operation."

As soon as the words were spoken, a red-haired woman wearing a Konoha Jonin vest appeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Kushina?

The wife of the Fourth Hokage, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, and a member of Lady Mito's clan...

With her multiple identities, Kushina's importance to Konoha is self-evident.

Even if Kushina were to die on the battlefield, the war would inevitably escalate due to both the Fourth Hokage's personal feelings and the importance of Kurama to Konoha!

"Lord Hokage... Nine-Tails..."

Before Shikaku could finish speaking, Kushina slapped him on the desk.

"As a Jinchūriki, I am still a Konoha ninja. No one in the entire ninja world can suppress tailed beasts better than the Uzumaki clan, and Kumogakure has two perfect Jinchūriki!"

Looking at the marks on the table in front of him, Shikaku swallowed hard, but still said, "If the other side launches an attack on the Nine-Tails, it will not be good for the battlefield."
