Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 106 Itachi (with some later parts included)

"cloud!!"

Uchiha Yun, who had just left the meeting, was stopped by a shout from behind.

"It's you again?"

The one running over was Uchiha En, the Uchiha who had just graduated a year and a half ago and passed the Chunin Exams to become a newly promoted Chunin.

"Where's my S-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu? It's been over half a year!"

Yun scratched his head: "You've asked me nine times this month, and thirty-eight times in the last six months! Who told you to give him the thing before you even learned ninjutsu? Now... you've been tricked."

Uchiha Yan's eyes widened as Kakashi, who had just come out of the tent and was about to slip away, was caught by Yan in an instant.

So, changing targets, Uchiha En charged towards Kakashi.

"Whoosh!"

With a quick movement technique, Kakashi slipped away.

Yan turned around.

"Whoosh!"

The clouds have also disappeared.

"You two bastards! My beloved 'Make-Out Paradise' collector's edition...!"

A roar sounded behind them, and Yun and Kakashi appeared on the trunk of a tree not far away.

"You took their things, why didn't you pay? This guy has been bothering me for half a year."

Kakashi scratched his head and said, "A ninjutsu as powerful as Lightning Blade isn't suitable for him. It's almost done. I've had some ideas over the past six months. Once I simplify Lightning Blade, I should be able to teach it to him."

Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "Hurry up, if you keep dragging this out, I'm prepared to have him come looking for you wearing goggles."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi paused, then said, "Isn't that a bit shameful?"

Yun smiled and said, "I'm being kind by not sending Mu Huo to find you. That kid is related to Mu Huo."

"laugh!"

Kakashi scoffed, "The Uchiha clan is so small, isn't it normal for them to be related?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a message rang out from within the camp.

Then, a group of people carrying a stretcher entered from outside the barrier. One of them looked in this direction, his eyes still wet with tears of blood.

Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha?!

……

Ten hours ago.

Led by three Jonin—Minazuki, Inuzuka Toshi, and Hyuga Kagami—and nine Chunin, a total of twelve ninjas headed to the Land of Hot Springs to intercept the Cloud Village's explosive tag transport force.

This intelligence itself cost the lives of three ANBU spies, because explosive tags are not suitable for transport using the Sky Delivery Technique, hence the need for a team of ninjas to intercept them.

This morning, the camp deliberately revealed high-level combatants such as Kumo and Jiraiya to mislead the enemy, but it seems that the mission is not going smoothly.

……

"Xinzi, just be careful and cover me."

As Itachi spoke, he looked at the transport team with a nervous gaze. It wasn't fear, but rather a sense that something was amiss.

Explosive tags...shouldn't they be transported inside a sealing scroll?

So many carriages, but what they really want to transport are ninja tools...

Just as I was about to say something, Minazuki-sensei's voice came through the radio: "Because they are explosive tags, remember not to use fire release later, otherwise we will also be injured by that number of explosive tags."

Itachi thought for a moment and asked, "Master, are the explosive tags transported by horse-drawn carriage? I feel there's something wrong with that. Would it be okay to destroy them directly using Fire Release?"

There was a long silence on the radio...

Then, another Jonin leading the team, Inuzuka Toshi, said, "Because this war has dragged on until now, there are fewer and fewer ninjas left in the village to do missions. The value of these explosive tags... is very high."

After hearing the reason, Itachi fell silent, his gaze signaling to Shinko to be careful.

But at this very moment...

In the forest where the Konoha ninja were lying in ambush, chakra fluctuations suddenly emanated from the tree trunks.

"mirror!"

With a deep voice, Hyuga Kagami's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light.

"Explosive tags!!"

"This is a trap, run!"

Hyuga Kagami's furious roar rang out over the radio, but the next moment...

"Boom! Boom...!"

Countless explosions rang out in the jungle, and the Konoha ninja who scattered and fled suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

Even the three Jonin were all injured at this moment.

"Mirror, how come you didn't spot the explosive tag hidden in the tree trunk?!"

Hyuga Kagami's face was contorted with rage, and he used his Byakugan to its fullest extent!

"The Hidden Cloud Village used a special device to shield the fluctuations of chakra; the inside of the tree trunk wasn't within my initial detection range!"

"Enemies! This is a trap, retreat!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a group of people came rushing from a great distance deep in the forest, clearly wary of Hyuga's Byakugan from the start.

Lightning Release: Black Class Guardian!

Black lightning surged forth from the jungle, scattering and clearly identifying the Konoha ninjas one by one.

Thunder escape, thunder!

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, scorching a Konoha Chunin to a crisp. Just as he was about to struggle, a long sword imbued with lightning decapitated him.

"puff!"

Blood gushed from his neck...

"Minazuki, Riki, lead them away!"

Hyuga Kagami roared, realizing that the price he had paid for neglecting to investigate the tree trunk was something he would have to pay with his life.

Because of this war, Hyuga owes others!

"Empty-handed!"

A force formed from the air opened up the Cloud Hidden Cave, and the rescued Tenma was kicked away by Itachi.

"Staring blankly in this situation could kill you!"

Within Itachi Uchiha's eye sockets, the three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly.

"Buzz..."

With a soft sound, a Cloud Hermit was instantly controlled by illusion.

"The Phoenix Fire Technique!"

The shuriken flew out, and flames engulfed it, shattering the lightning and piercing into Yun Yin's chest.

"Uchiha?"

After a question was uttered, a halo of light flashing with lightning descended from the sky.

"boom!!"

Lightning struck the ground and scorched it. Samui's longsword, imbued with lightning chakra, fell and slashed directly at Itachi, who had dodged the attack.

"Bang!"

The lightning sword collided with the kunai. Itachi pulled back and shook his hand. If it weren't for the specially made kunai, the lightning would have paralyzed him.

Moreover, because the war has dragged on for so long, the Hidden Cloud Village has become increasingly cautious in its precautions against the Uchiha Sharingan.

"Wind Release: Wind Slash!"

The massive wind blades sliced ​​through the trees and swept away Samui, raising a cloud of dust in the process.

"Walk!!"

After blocking the enemy, Minazuki suddenly appeared and quickly retreated with Itachi, Shinko who was hiding behind, and Tenma who had just gotten up.

"If you run away, I'll be in big trouble."

As Darui spoke, the black lightning in his hand erupted once more, but the next second...

Bagua Empty Palm!

The force created by the compressed air forced Darui to change direction, and in that short time, Minazuki and his squad had already escaped the battlefield.

Darui looked at Hyuga Kagami: "You're going to cover our retreat? The Hyuga clan can't stop my Black Lightning!"

(The author said there wasn't enough space for the rest of the story, which was over 2,000 words but not quite 3,000. So, I'll explain here. First point: In the Cloud Village War, not a single named member of the Cloud Village's high-ranking officials survived.)

(Secondly, Itachi's Kaleidoscope Sharingan is about to appear.)

(Thirdly, Uzumaki Sora's villainous side story is also about to begin, which is why tens of thousands of words were spent writing about the Cloud Village War. After a large number of people died and he realized the desires of the higher-ups, the Uchiha Cloud Village will undergo its first transformation.)

(In the world of Naruto, the ultimate boss is Kaguya. So, how much would Kaguya's fate change if she couldn't become the ultimate boss?)

(Or, because of the protagonist's existence, how much would Kaguya's fate change if she were to be killed?)

(It also possesses the ability to foresee events two seconds in advance using the Kaleidoscope Sharingan. This ability can be used for instant kills when the opponent has high attack but low defense, but the Eight-Tails' defense in its fully evolved form is not weak. I used it in the previous battle, but only managed to cut off its tail.)

(After this, with the help of Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, and Shisui, all the named people in Kumogakure will die! Even later, many people from the five great ninja villages, including Konoha, will be killed by Uzumaki Ku. This is to purge the upper echelons and promote unification.)

The outline has revealed a lot... This book currently has 950 high-end subscriptions and 700 average subscriptions, and we still need everyone's support.

The group number is in the description; feel free to join if you'd like. Starting today, I'll be posting three updates a day, totaling 6,000 words. Since I also have a part-time delivery job, 10,000 words a day is really too much for me.

If I lose my job, this book won't be enough to make a living either. Sorry everyone.
