Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 119 Cloud Village Surrenders

Half a month later in Kumogakure, the arguments in the Raikage's building had been almost constant for the past two weeks.

In fact, a week ago, when Konoha returned the ashes of the Fourth Raikage, the entire Hidden Cloud Village was in an uproar.

"Bang!"

A high-ranking member of the Cloud Village slammed his fist on the table: "Even before the war began, I said we shouldn't push Konoha too hard. How could Konoha possibly agree to the Fourth Raikage's attempt to seize the Byakugan by force?!"

Standing opposite him, Killer Bee clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot as he removed his sunglasses.

"My elder brother... everything he did was for the sake of Kumogakure..."

Killer Bee had barely finished speaking when the high-ranking officer opposite him glared angrily: "For the village?! Do you know how many people Kumogakure sacrificed in this war? Do you know how many missions the village lost in order to confront Konoha?"

Another high-ranking official followed up, saying, "Aita is autocratic and not a qualified Kage. In any case, his death will be a major blow to Kumogakure."

The Cloud Village high-ranking official then slightly raised his head to look at Killer Bee: "Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, do you want to avenge the Fourth Raikage?"

Killer Bee asked in a low voice, "The village's leader has been killed. Is our brother's revenge just going to be left like this?"

"Why……"

With a sigh, the Cloud Village's higher-ups looked at Killer Bee and said, "That's why I said that no matter what, we can't let someone filled with hatred become the Raikage. Killer Bee, do you remember when the Third Raikage was surrounded by Iwagakure and died from exhaustion?"

"The Third Raikage died to allow the main force to retreat, which is slightly different from the Fourth Raikage. But from that day on, we had a blood feud with Iwagakure. And do you know why the Fourth Raikage, as the son of the Third Raikage, didn't constantly shout about avenging his father? Killer Bee!"

Before Killer Bee could reply, the relatively mild-mannered high-ranking official from Kumogakure stood up and looked out the window at the entire village.

"That's because even the hatred for killing one's father is not as important as the Hidden Cloud Village, nor as important as the countless comrades in the village!"

"Killer Bee, if I were to say that Kumogakure is determined to attack Konoha to avenge the Fourth Raikage, Kumogakure will be destroyed, would you agree?"

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

Whether it was Killer Bee, Yugito, or Darui who had just begun training, they were all certain that what the old man said was true.

If they persist in their course of action, it is unknown what will become of Konoha, which already possesses such power, but Kumogakure will inevitably be divided up by the other four great ninja villages.

This is not something that two perfect Jinchuriki can stop, and no one would gamble on the enemy's goodwill.

At that moment, the voice of the Eight-Tails echoed in Bi's mind.

"Compared to that Uchiha Yun, his power and abilities have already surpassed those of the Tailed Beasts."

"With the current strength of the Hidden Cloud Village... they have no chance of winning."

After the Eight-Tails' voice faded, Killer Bee did not reply.

In reality, after a long while, Killer Bee raised his head and looked at the high-ranking officials of Kumogakure: "I... understand!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the higher-ups of Yunyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yugito, who was behind Killer Bee, looked around at everyone and finally agreed.

As for Darui, he was too young to speak at the moment, and if it weren't for Black Ray, he wouldn't even be standing here.

……

Meanwhile, in the advisory meeting room of the Hokage Building in Konoha Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage who had been stationed at the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire for the past six months, guarding against the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Stone Village, was now frowning deeply.

Across from him, Mitokado Homura was discussing the intelligence he was holding.

"Half a month ago, the plan to use the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as bait succeeded. The Fourth Raikage, along with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, launched a surprise attack on the No. 8 sentry post located in the rear."

"However, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's extraordinary senses allowed him to discover in advance that the Fourth Hokage had gathered all the high-end combat forces on the front lines using the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"This battle..."

Mitokado Homura looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi, exhaled, and then said, "In this battle, Uchiha Kumo slew the Fourth Raikage, burning him to ashes with black flames. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki escaped!"

After he finished speaking, everyone present, including Xiaochun from the dormitory, remained silent for a long time.

After a long while...

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "With the Fourth Raikage dead, the two Jinchuriki who escaped will surely bring the information back to Kumogakure. In that case, Kumogakure should be able to make the most correct decision."

Koharu Utatane looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "If Kumogakure doesn't want to end up destroyed, then the end of the war is already a foregone conclusion. But Hiruzen... Uchiha..."

The mention of the name "Uchiha" caused all three people present to frown.

Mitokado Homura slowly spoke up, "Ever since the Uchiha withdrew from the quagmire of the police force eight months ago, the village's aversion to the Uchiha has been gradually decreasing."

"And on the battlefield... thanks to the Uchiha's unwavering support, and the presence of Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Kumo, and Uchiha Itachi, their assistance saved many civilians and clan ninjas."

"This phenomenon has become a trend in the village over the past eight months. The Uchiha are the Uchiha of Konoha, and this trend is happening here."

Koharu Utatane glanced at the intelligence report on the table, then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Starting yesterday, this intelligence report, which was already submitted ten days ago, has begun circulating in Konoha..."

"Hiruzen, you should be able to understand what this situation will lead to, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, exhaled, and looked at his two old friends: "Just like Sakumo back then, with amazing achievements and reputation, plus the power that is deeply trusted by his comrades... the only thing Uchiha Kumo lacks is age."

"Bang!"

The words had barely left his mouth when Mitokado Homura slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "But just as terrifying! His most frightening aspect is his age!"

"To possess such power at such a young age, and if his reputation in the village were to rise further, then..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had his eyes closed at that moment, and many things came to mind.

However, most of the precautions taken by his teacher, the Second Hokage, against the Uchiha clan were actually precautions.

"What...do you want to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mitokado Yan and Utatane Koharu looked at each other in bewilderment.

Without Danzo, they really don't know how to carry out such shady things.

But... perhaps someone in the remaining roots knows.

……

At the border of the Land of Rain, Uzumaki Sora reached out and tapped the tree trunk beside him: "Come out, let's talk."

……

I'm recommending a new book: I Won't Be a Simp!
