Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 123: Nagato's Suppressed Anger

"retreat!"

The Cloud Village's Jonin leader gave the order, and a teammate beside him protested, "How can we let them leave so easily?! We..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Jonin leading the team suddenly turned around, his Sharingan eyes seemingly about to leap out of their sockets.

The immense pressure caused him to collapse to the ground.

Those who were once familiar companions have now become enemies.

"Now do you know why we had to retreat?"

Before the person who was slumped on the ground could speak, Uzumaki Sora, who was in the illusion, continued, "Shouldn't such a high-ranking person be worth your risking your lives? If Kumogakure loses the perfect Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails, then Kumogakure will have no reason to continue to exist."

As soon as the words were spoken, the illusion vanished completely.

The two people from before had vanished from the path of the Cloud Village pursuit force.

The team leader, Jonin Rin, frowned deeply, her gaze fixed on the dark forest ahead with a serious expression.

Those words not only appeared in the illusion of the person under the spell, but he also heard Kong Danmo's voice.

"Captain, we..."

“I remember that person, it’s Uzumaki Sora. There’s information about him on the black market. He has the space-time ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, the Wood Release of the First Hokage, and now… the Sharingan has also appeared on this person.”

His words stunned everyone. He then continued, "Continuing to pursue them will only result in our total sacrifice and will be pointless. Send the intelligence back to the village; let the higher-ups decide."

……

The land of hot springs, a place of hot spring baths.

Sora, who was comfortably lying in the pool, turned his head to look at Juzo Biwa, who was still tense.

"There's no need to be so tense. Relax, we're at a hot spring inn."

Kirigakure exhaled: "It's just a habit I've maintained for years. Kirigakure has a relentless pursuit force to hunt down rogue ninja. Against Kirigakure, who are skilled in assassination, a moment's relaxation could lead to an inexplicable death."

Uzumaki Sora remained indifferent upon hearing this. Unlike Konoha, Kirigakure did indeed have a special unit dedicated to hunting down rogue ninja.

However, since I am just a clone, and some people know that I can be resurrected, I haven't developed that habit.

"Speaking of which... Sora, which village are you a rogue ninja from? If your surname is Uzumaki, you're not from Konoha, are you?"

Uzumaki Sora smiled and asked, "Is Uzumaki necessarily Konoha? When the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, not many members of the Uzumaki clan were taken in by Konoha. Quite a few were exiled."

Pipa Juzo nodded: "So, which village are you from?"

Uzumaki Sora turned to look at him: "Have you thought it through? If you want to know my background, you'll have to pay for your loyalty."

After he finished speaking, the scene remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, Juzo Biwa sneered, "Sharingan, Wood Release, space-time ninjutsu—with so many powers gathered in one person, I can't guess your identity."

"Information broker? Where did you get so much information? Whether it's Sasori's origins, Kakuzu's origins, Orochimaru's past, or even my past, you seem to know it all."

"You didn't kill those people from Kumogakure today, and I even thought you might be a rogue ninja from Kumogakure."

Uzumaki Sora scoffed, "There's no point in not killing those obedient guys. If they keep chasing us, it'll only take a few breaths."

After he finished speaking, Uzumaki Sora did not answer any of his other questions.

After a long silence, Pipa Juzo finally spoke, asking, "So... what is your ultimate goal?"

Uzumaki Sora looked at him: "World peace. Believe it or not, my next goal is indeed something new."

"The world is not as simple as it seems. Because of a small accident, the world's trajectory has become distorted."

"However, you and I are both beneficiaries of this accident. I want to correct this distorted world, and I do have some preliminary plans."

Do you... want to know?

Pipa Juzo nodded slightly: "If I am to be loyal to you, at least I need to know what our purpose is."

Uzumaki Sora smiled: "Did you agree?"

Pipa Juzo did not reply, but a Flying Thunder God mark flashed across his shoulder.

This is the Flying Thunder God Technique seal that was imprinted long ago, and even Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, has never been able to remove this seal.

As for reaching the Six Paths level, similar to Obito's in my memory, not everyone can achieve the Six Paths level.

In silence, the two leisurely enjoyed their free time after the mission ended. Like his true form, Uchiha Kumo, Uzumaki Sora was in a state of enjoying life.

Although life outside is not as stable as it is in Konoha, the different delicacies from various places are a different kind of enjoyment.

such as……

The public bathhouses in Konoha aren't as comfortable as the hot springs here. Although I can't enjoy this every day, it's still a kind of compensation.

……

One week later, within the Land of Rain.

Pain looked at the scroll in his hand, then looked at the two who had just returned with a puzzled expression: "With your power, you shouldn't have taken this long, right?"

Juzo Biwa turned his head away somewhat awkwardly, while Sora Uzumaki replied directly, "After completing the mission, we played in the Land of Hot Springs for a while. After all, we need to balance work and rest. I saw that Juzo seemed to be under a lot of pressure, so I dragged him along."

Work-life balance?!

Nagato, who controlled the Heavenly Dao, was speechless. If he didn't know the power of the person in front of him, he would have thought that this guy was gone after the first mission.

The reason given was something like "work-life balance"?

At this moment, Nagato couldn't help but recall Obito's words.

He's starting to regret it now.

At this moment, Sora Vortex, fiddling with his fingers, said, "An organization should at least allow its members to relax both physically and mentally so that they can work seriously, right? Look at our organization, the leader is cooped up in the dark all day long."

"The mad scientist stares at his teammates' bodies and licks his lips every day, while the finance manager is always thinking about how much his teammates' heads are worth, and he even rips them off from time to time."

"Not to mention Sasori, he spends all day inside his own puppet, he's a puppet himself. Only Juzo and I are somewhat normal, otherwise we'd all go insane."

The Heavenly Dao remained indifferent and expressionless, while Nagato, inside the tower, twitched at the corner of his eye.

but……

It seems to make some sense...

Kakuzu has been a teammate of who knows how many times. Orochimaru would lick his lips when he looked at himself and Uzumaki Sora.

This kind of team... is hard to manage.

"Leader, I think you should pay more attention to the physical and mental health of our organization's members. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After Uzumaki Sora finished speaking, Juzo behind him nodded in acknowledgment and then left.

This scene infuriated Nagato, who was inside the tower.

……

Chapter 124: Ino and Sakura

The Land of Fire, Konoha.

After the war with Kumogakure ended, a series of reparations issues regarding surrender were settled.

Fortunately, Kumogakure isn't as poor as Sunagakure; otherwise, if the tough guy really had no money and the mission request rate was low, there really wouldn't be much he could do.

Upon returning to the village, Uchiha Yun immediately resumed his training in the Eight Gates.

It's important to understand that the existence of the Secret Scroll was specifically prepared for this technique. If one could open the Gate of Death once a day, that would be quite terrifying.

There are no shortcuts to mastering the Eight Gates. Even Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique from his memories is not very useful for mastering the Eight Gates.

The key to mastering physical skills lies in perseverance.

"Huhuhu..."

Running laps around the leaf with weighted equipment while maintaining a steady breathing rhythm—this is the end of the training program once the goal is achieved.

Upon reaching the reservoir, he was intrigued by what he saw there.

"Wide forehead, why is your forehead so wide? It's really ugly!"

"Yeah...why is it so wide?"

The two slightly older boys reached out and grabbed the girl's hair, who was kneeling on the ground crying.

Suddenly, the pink-haired girl cried even louder.

At that moment, a little girl with short blonde hair suddenly rushed out and pushed the two bullying children away.

"You...you are not allowed to bully her!"

The two older children weren't pushed over; instead, they looked at each other, put their hands on their hips, and said, "Are you going to help this guy with the big forehead? Let me tell you, you'll get a beating!"

Another one yelled, "My brother's a ninja! When he gets here, you'll all get beaten up!"

Ino frowned slightly, and Sakura, who was behind her, timidly hid behind her.

In that instant, her mother's words about friends echoed in her ears, so she didn't take a step back and continued to glare angrily at the two guys in front of her.

"Damn it! How dare you ignore us!"

Amid the shouting, the child threw a punch.

"Shh!"

Ino and Sakura were so frightened that they closed their eyes, but a small pebble suddenly struck their wrists.

Although I didn't use much force, I still managed to make the little kid fall down.

"Who?!"

The little kid, who had just gotten up and stuck his butt out, looked around and soon fixed his gaze on Uchiha Yun standing to the side.

Yun scratched his head awkwardly: "Um... it's wrong for kids to fight... you should... have fun?"

Some of these statements are completely nonsensical, and I really don't know how to respond.

In fact, if the one who got beaten up wasn't one of the twelve little heroes from his memory, he wouldn't have thrown that pebble just now. After all, it's just kids fighting, not a big deal.

As someone who killed the Fourth Raikage, it was indeed a bit awkward for him to do this; it was just a slip of the tongue.
