Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

At this moment, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, stepped forward, looked at everyone, and said, "Kushina is not a Jinchuriki who needs protection. She can pull out the Nine-Tails' chakra, and with the sealing technique, she will be of help to everyone."

Minato then looked at Jiraiya and said, "The Communicator Frog will always be with Kushina, and she will also always carry my special kunai. In that case, Teacher should be at ease."

After pondering for a moment, Jiraiya sighed and then said to Kushina, "On the battlefield, all your actions must be in accordance with orders!"

Kushina, understanding the difference between the battlefield and her village home, nodded solemnly.

Meanwhile, Yun stroked his chin. "Kushina's already on the battlefield. Once she's stolen enough blood, we can just throw away that huge bag of blood from home..."

Otherwise, if he were discovered, he would truly be considered a pervert.

……

With the missions assigned, Yun was assigned to Sentry No. 7 for the first round of support, while Shisui and Itachi were assigned to Sentry No. 6.

In fact, of the twenty-three sentry posts, only the front and back were extremely dangerous, while some in the middle were relatively easier because they were at the back.

After all, a direct, unstoppable advance is not a tactical strategy for evenly matched battles.

As for Kushina, although she was not assigned to the 10th or 10th rank due to her strong request, she was eventually assigned to the 8th guard post, which was located in the middle to the back.

Jiraiya's arrangement was based on his own considerations. Being close to the Uchiha clan would allow him to obtain their support in the shortest possible time.

The only ways the entire ninja world can counter the tailed beasts, besides the whirlpool's sealing techniques, are the Uchiha's Sharingan and the First Hokage's Wood Release.

Chapter 112: Eight Months Later, Hidden Cloud Village

More than eight months later, at the Raikage Building in Kumogakure.

"I've said it before, Konoha will not fear war as long as Minato Namikaze is still alive!"

"That golden flash wasn't Hiruzen Sarutobi. He wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to win over the hearts of so many clans in Konoha!"

"And the Uchiha!"

"Before the war began, you thought the Raikage would rebel against Konoha, but what about now? Three pairs of eyes like those of Madara Uchiha, with that kind of power, how can Kumogakure win?!"

……

"You should take responsibility for this war!"

The furious shouting ended after the last sentence, and at that moment, the muscular Raikage clenched his fists.

"boom!!"

With a single punch, the desk was smashed into pieces of wood.

The high-ranking officials of Kumogakure took a half-step back in fear, but then took another step forward: "Raikage, there's no need to vent your anger on me. If Kumogakure continues like this, it will be destroyed by you sooner or later."

"We didn't even obtain the Byakugan and Sharingan, so the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan who died on the battlefield is completely unusable!"

"The objective was not achieved, yet the losses are so enormous. As the Raikage, shouldn't you take responsibility at this moment?"

"Shh!"

The moment he finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage appeared directly in front of him, one hand gripping his neck and rendering him immobile.

"Old man, I don't need you to lecture me on how I've done things all these years. I hope you can see clearly how Cloud Village will win next."

Seeing the lightning flashing on the Raikage's arm, the high-ranking official swallowed hard before being put down.

He walked leisurely to the door, then turned around and said, "No matter what, as the Raikage, you need to give the village an explanation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away in a flash.

The Fourth Raikage, A, was quite angry at the moment, partly because of what that old man had just said, and partly because of the battlefield.

Starting more than eight months ago, in order to guard against the other three major ninja villages and due to the decreasing mission completion rate, Kumogakure and Konoha began to withdraw most of their ninjas.

But just as the Hokage said eight months ago, as the Raikage and the initiator of this war, he is now in a difficult position.

The war has lasted for a year and eight months. During this long period, although there have been no major battles between the two villages, the corpses brought back from the front lines from time to time have tugged at the heartstrings of every villager.

The number of dead and wounded slowly increased, but none of the initial objectives were achieved.

Miscalculations regarding Konoha and the Uchiha clan have already plunged Kumogakure into a quagmire.

"boom!!"

The door to the Raikage's office area was pushed open, and Atsui walked in, staring at the Raikage and asking, "Raikage-sama, how much longer until I can go to the front lines?"

The direct questioning made the Raikage's already furrowed brows even more annoyed, but when he thought of Samui being burned alive to ashes, he couldn't bring himself to reprimand her.

After a moment, Lei Yin exhaled to calm himself down before saying, "Let's wait a while. The battle plan hasn't been put out yet, so let's wait a bit longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Atsi was already in tears.

"Just now... just now, two more bodies were brought back from the village entrance, and they were killed by Itachi Uchiha!"

"I only want to avenge my sister, and also avenge my fellow villagers!"

Wiping away her tears, Atsi's eyes were filled with determination.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the door and patted Atsi on the shoulder.

"Young man, you want revenge, but you lack the power!"

Even I, an old man, want revenge, and I'm very strong at it!

So give me your hatred, I can help you! Yeah!

Kirabi, who strode in with a dance step, extended his fist, and Atsui, with red and swollen eyes, did the same.

In an instant, their chakra connected, and their most sincere feelings for each other were accepted.

Atsui immediately knelt down: "Lord Bi, please, take me with you too."

Killer Bee scratched his head and looked at his older brother, after all, even he had to obey the Raikage's orders.

At that moment, the Raikage sighed: "Take him with you, but I hope Samui can come back safely. Please."

At this moment, Mabui, who had been following Kirabi, came over and handed the scroll in her hand to Lei Yinghou, saying, "I think the arrival of this intelligence after the code team deciphered it is very timely."

The Raikage unfurled the scroll, which contained the combat strength arrangements of Konoha's twenty-three sentry posts, as well as known information on the combat strength of each post.

Among them, the Uchiha clan's three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan were prominently featured.

And the identity of the red-haired woman has now been confirmed.

"boom."

The scroll was put away and put back, and Raikage pondered all the information that could be used.

Was she the wife of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze?

And he's also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

Many years ago, the Hidden Cloud Village had an operation against the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, but it was thwarted by Minato Namikaze.

If these two identities are used as a threat, then Konoha will suffer heavy losses no matter what.

"Mabuyi, give me your solution."

Mabui nodded: "According to intelligence, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is at Sentry Post No. 8, behind Sentry Post No. 7, and the guards of Sentry Post No. 7 and No. 6 are those three Uchiha people."

"This situation means... if we're targeting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, we need to be quick. We must seal the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and bring him back before those three Uchiha appear."

The Raikage nodded upon hearing this, then said, "With our combined strength, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki isn't difficult to deal with. However..."

Speaking of this, he also thought of those three Uchiha, this generation of Uchiha was simply overflowing with geniuses.

Those three pairs of eyes were also part of the reason for Yunyin's defeat this time.

But do I have a choice now?

Either win the battle decisively, and after achieving the goals of the Byakugan and Sharingan, you can reduce some of your responsibility.

Or...

By issuing the retreat order in the name of the Fourth Raikage, the village's higher-ups will definitely hold them accountable for the losses.

At that point, he would have no choice but to give up his power, just like the Third Hokage.

……

A moment of silence fell over the scene. After a long while, the Raikage looked at Atsui, who had already stood up, and asked, "Do you want us to stop the war with Konoha? If so, you won't be able to take your revenge!"

Azii pondered...

Then, Atsui raised her head and said, "No, Kumogakure will not be afraid! My sister's sacrifice will not be in vain!"

Upon hearing this, Raikage nodded and waved to Mabui: "Let the Strategic Department start researching. I need a plan to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki within a week at the latest."

Mabui nodded and left the room with Atsui. Then, Raikage stood up and looked out the window.

……

Chapter 113: It Was a Trap from the Start

Sentry post number eight was located slightly behind sentry post number seven. At that moment, several figures quickly swept through the woods, passing through the barrier of sentry post number seven the instant it was activated.

"Big brother, we've already passed through Konoha's sensory barrier."

The Fourth Raikage nodded, then instructed, "Our goal is to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and use her to blackmail Konoha into exchanging her Byakugan and Sharingan. Remember, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is the Fourth Hokage's wife; do not kill her."

Yugito, standing to the side, said, "Both Bee and I are perfect Jinchuriki, so two against one is no problem."

Killer Bee shook his head slightly: "No, the Eight-Tails told me that the Nine-Tails' power should not be underestimated. Although the Eight-Tails has never admitted that the power of a tailed beast is measured by the number of its tails, the Nine-Tails is indeed powerful."

The Fourth Raikage's gaze was solemn: "Although you are all perfect Jinchūriki, remember not to be careless."

As soon as they finished speaking, the group quickly swept through the woods.

As for Atsui, whom we promised to bring along, how could someone with that kind of fighting power be brought to this battlefield? We can just let him in during the Cloud Village's feint attack on the other three Konoha sentries today.

……

Kushina, who had been on high alert for the past eight months, stood up and smiled.

Then he said to the communication frog beside him, "Please inform Minato that the Cloud Village's plan against me has begun, and it's time to close the net."

"understand!"
