Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 125 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 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 high-ranking officials 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 existing."

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 possesses the space-time ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, the Wood Release of the First Hokage, and now... the Sharingan has even 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, is there? Relax a bit, we're at a hot spring inn."

Juzo Biwa exhaled: "It's just a habit I've maintained for years. Kirigakure has a relentless pursuit force that hunts down rogue ninja. Against Kirigakure, who are skilled in assassination, a moment's relaxation will result in 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, very few members of the Uzumaki clan were taken in by Konoha. Quite a few went into exile."

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

Uzumaki Sora turned to look at him: "Have you made up your mind? 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 chuckled, "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? You seem to know everything about Sasori's origins, Kakuzu's origins, Orochimaru's past, and even my past."

"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, Juzo Biwa 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 you want me to be loyal to you, at least I need to know what our purpose is."

Uzumaki Sora smiled and asked, "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 at the two who had just returned, and asked with a puzzled expression, "With your power, you shouldn't have been dragging this long, right?"

Juzo Biwa looked away 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 Uzumaki, 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, never seeing the light of day."

"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 occasionally he'll rip them off."

"As for Sasori, needless to say, he spends all day inside his own puppet, he himself is a puppet. Only Juzo and I are somewhat normal, if this continues, we'll both 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.

"Boss, I think you should pay more attention to the mental and physical well-being 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.
