Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 132 I am the Hokage

"Iwagakure? Why are you robbing our village's ninja? Do you want to start a war?"

Using his transformation technique to become a shadow clone of Iwagakure, he sneered, "Your village's ninjas? When did the Uzumaki clan become Kusagakure ninjas? Are you kidding me?"

At this moment, the ninjas from the Hidden Grass Village had already formed an encirclement, but what puzzled the leader of the Grass Village ninja was that the other side did not seem to be in a hurry to break through.

Is it because it's a small ninja village that they're so fearless?

"After the fall of the Land of Whirlpools, these two members of the Uzumaki clan defected to our Grass Village, and both of them signed a document confirming this."

The grass ninja leading the group then looked at the shadow clone and said, "Moreover, the Iwagakure village behind you seems to have no connection whatsoever with the Uzumaki clan."

The shadow clone shook his head slightly: "The Uzumaki clan's special physique is a power to any ninja village, but the Grass Village's own strength is insufficient to support it."

These words caused the surrounding Grass Ninja to glare angrily, even though their village was indeed just a small ninja village in the Land of Grass.

But Kusagakure Village almost rose to power many years ago.

How can one not be angry when such insulting words are spoken?

The leader, a grass ninja, glanced at the two red-haired women behind the shadow clone and said in a low voice, "You promised this when you entered the village! Now... do you want to go back on your word?"

Rin Uzumaki, also a shadow clone of Yun, transformed using a transformation technique, slightly raised her head: "I have always kept my promise, but your abuse of this body has made me lose all hope of survival."

"My death is not important, but after I die, given your previous attitude towards this body, my daughter will obviously become my replacement... and in the end, she will only die!"

No sooner had the words fallen than the surrounding ninjas shouted angrily.

"Damn it, I knew I couldn't trust outsiders like this."

"They begged us to take them in, but now they're trying to defect."

"They must learn their lesson! Kusagakure will not be humiliated!"

"He's just a Hidden Iwagakure ninja. If we kill him, as long as we don't acknowledge him, Hidden Iwagakure won't dare to start a war!"

"I recently heard that the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure just died. Even if a war breaks out, it might just be an opportunity for our Kusagakure to rise again!"

"So what if it's Iwagakure?! We, Kusagakure, are not to be trifled with!"

"Captain! Kill them!"

……

Amidst the commotion, the Jonin leading the Grass Ninja team frowned slightly.

The four Jonin who had remained silent beside him exchanged a glance with him, and all saw determination in each other's eyes.

Although they, as Jonin, knew very well that Kusagakure was no match for Iwagakure, it was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

But as things stand, there's only one Iwagakure ninja on the other side, and it seems there are no support ninjas waiting around.

In that case... it's not like we can't fight.

The shadow clone on the other side scratched its head, thinking that the main body and the others should have already traveled quite a distance.

"Why do you think I'm here because you're stopping me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun clapped his hands together. What was the hand seal for the Light and Heavy Rock Technique again? He couldn't remember.

He then hastily formed a few hand seals and shouted, "Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun vanished from his spot in an instant.

"It's gone!"

The exclamation had barely begun when a spurt of blood gushed out.

"How is this possible? Why so fast?"

The slaughter began, and amidst the screams, every Grass Ninja who tried to form hand seals had their throats slit the next second.

A Jonin from the Grass Village said in a deep voice, "This is a secret ninjutsu of the Iwagakure Village, which can reduce the effects of gravity on the user. Achieving this speed under these conditions is not impossible."

As soon as the words were spoken, the four Jonin's eyes followed the flashing cold light closely, trying to catch a glimpse of the other person.

As long as you can touch them, you can use a binding spell at a great cost, and their speed will become useless.

As long as you can touch it!

however……

It wasn't until all ten-plus Chunin were dead that the four Jonin realized with shock that they had never been able to catch up with their opponent.

"Bang!!"

A cold light flashed, and the kunai blocked the attack.

Under the pressure, Yun's shadow clone smiled: "So you can only catch a glimpse when it's so close? But... how about this?"

He hastily formed hand seals with one hand: "Earth Release: Heavy Rock Technique."

The moment he finished speaking, his superhuman strength suddenly erupted.

"boom!"

Under the force of the blow, the short blade pressed him down, and a spurt of blood gushed from his chest.

"Gotcha!"

At that moment, three other Jonin attacked, their hands covered in black curse marks, displaying the famous binding technique of Kusagakure.

However, the next second, Yun's shadow clone vanished from the spot.

"Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique!"

The sounds that followed caused the group to scatter instantly. After landing, the remaining three Jonin looked at each other in bewilderment.

The hand seals were formed so quickly?!

The attack was supposed to be a surprise attack by the opponent using a different ninjutsu, but unexpectedly, the opponent's speed returned in just a moment.

"Whoosh!"

After the cold light flashed, blood splattered out.

But the next moment, the short blade pierced through the chest of another Jonin.

"Why... is it faster?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the lifeless body collapsed.

The last Jonin standing looked solemnly at Yun as he slowly drew his sword.

"Who are you?!"

"You're not from Iwagakure! The hand seals for the Heavy Rock Technique aren't like that. Although I've never seen the Light Heavy Rock Technique, it's clearly fake!"

Amid the questioning, Yun's shadow clone scratched his head: "Were we discovered? Fortunately, the guy who fainted is still alive. Once I kill you, no one will know I'm not from Iwagakure."

The last remaining Jonin of the Grass Village was furious: "Who are you?! With such speed, are you from the Hidden Cloud Village?"

Yun smiled and replied, "Well... you found out? My purpose in collecting the secret techniques and bloodlines of other ninja villages is indeed that of the Hidden Cloud Village."

The Jonin opposite him shook his head again: "With the Fourth Raikage's death, Kumogakure will definitely not take action again anytime soon. Wait! Uzumaki... you're made of wood..."

He uttered only one word, but the three tomoe in his eyes made him stop speaking.

The Jonin who was hit by the illusion felt completely paralyzed, and the surrounding scenery changed as if he had fallen into an abyss.

But in this illusion, he kept shouting, "You are a Konoha ninja! Your target is the Uzumaki orphan!"

Amidst the roar, a head slowly rose from its shoulder.

"Uchiha... Cloud!!!"

A gasp of horror rang out, and the Hidden Grass Village Jonin fell silent for a moment.

The person who could kill the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure is actually their target this time!

That's practically... suicide!

"A person who knows too much will be killed quickly. After the battle with Kumogakure, Konoha doesn't want to attract too much attention, since too much power will attract everyone's attack. Now... the time is not yet up."

The time hasn't come yet?

Filled with endless questions, the Jonin slowly collapsed to the ground.

Yun's shadow clone drew a short blade and looked at the only survivor.

It doesn't matter whether it's Iwagakure or Kumogakure.

The next moment, along with two other shadow clones, the three figures disappeared into the forest and headed towards the Land of Earth.

……

In a small town within the Land of Fire.

"Once we're in the Land of Fire, there shouldn't be any major problems. Let's take a shower, get some sleep, and continue our journey tomorrow."

As she spoke, Yun led the way into a hot spring hotel.

Behind her, Rin glanced at her daughter, and the two followed.

Having lost the protection of Kusagakure, she knew very well that she could only trust the person in front of her; otherwise, she didn't even know where she could go.

After taking a relaxing bath and paying the owner of the hot spring hotel to send over some delicious food, Yun prepared to enjoy a good meal.

After finishing her meal, Yun Wei looked up at the mother and daughter opposite her.

Karin Uzumaki, who was just over six years old, couldn't resist the temptation of the food and started eating, and Rin Uzumaki, who was standing next to her, didn't stop her.

Poisoning was meaningless against the power of the big boy in front of him.

"Ask anything you want to ask, there's plenty of time now."

As Yun finished speaking, Uzumaki Rin pondered for a moment before abandoning the question of truth or falsehood and instead asking, "Konoha... why would they think of us at this time? Is it merely because of that... clansman?"

Yun smiled at Karin, whose mouth was full of food residue. The friendly smile startled the little girl, who choked for a moment and quickly drank some water to recover.

"In fact, I suspect that Konoha only recently received your information. But even if they had known before, Kushina, your clanswoman, would probably have been powerless to do anything about it."

"However, one thing is certain: your situation in Konoha will be much better than in Kusagakure. Given the personality of your clansman, no one will dare to lay a finger on you."

These words startled Rin Uzumaki, who then asked in confusion, "Kushina... the Fourth Hokage's wife, was she very powerful?"

Yun smiled and said, "She is a completely free Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, while in terms of the current political situation in Konoha, the Fourth Hokage has already seized almost all the power."

At this point, Yun looked at the woman opposite him and smiled, "Does this... make sense to you?"

Rin's gaze turned serious. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

I heard from my clansmen a long time ago that the Uzumaki clan's physique is very suitable for being a Jinchūriki.

Many years ago, during the Warring States period before the system of one village per country existed, she married Mito, the First Hokage of Konoha, and it is said that she later became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha.

but……

Rumor has it that the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts in each village are not living very well.

Could that clansman from Konoha be an exception?

Being the Hokage's wife alone shouldn't be enough, right? Even the Hokage couldn't do anything about the villagers' strange looks, could he?

Yun shook her head slightly: "There's no use telling you anything now. You'll understand when we get to the village. In fact, I'll be on your side."

……

Three days later, in the woods outside the gates of Konoha.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

While traveling, Yun glanced at the shadows on the tree trunks in the distance, raised his hand, and the three of them stopped.

The vortex bell behind him looked ahead: "Six people, one of whom is very strong in my perception."

Yun smiled and replied, "How could the Third Hokage of Konoha, the guy known in the ninja world as the 'Ninja Professor,' be weak?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow swayed and fell down from the tree trunk in front of him.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Before the five ninjas wearing ANBU masks, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, slowly stepped forward.

"Uchiha Yun, you left the village without a mission and used genjutsu to confuse Izumo Kotetsu. Do you know what the consequences of this will be?"

Yun, on the other side, scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Did I use illusion magic? I just chatted with them when I left the village, and they fell under an illusion? How is that possible?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared directly at Yun: "You used your Sharingan to make these two believe you hadn't left the village, although the genjutsu was quickly dispelled. So how do you explain leaving the village without cause?"

Yun smiled, took out a scroll and tossed it over: "This is the mission scroll for this time. Izumo Tetsuo probably forgot to register it, right? Or maybe they didn't see me leave the village and forgot to register it?"

The Third Hokage took the scroll, glanced at the two red-haired women behind Yun, pondered for a moment, and then unrolled the scroll.

? ? ! !

In an instant, the scroll in the Third Hokage's hand fell to the ground.

"Kusagakure...the last surviving member of the Uzumaki clan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Hokage's gaze towards Uchiha Yun showed signs of anger.

"The war against Kumogakure has just ended. Although Konoha emerged victorious, you should know that the surrounding major ninja villages are increasingly wary of us!"

"Under these circumstances, you're actually risking another war just for two orphans of the Uzumaki clan?"

Uchiha Yun scratched his head: "I really don't understand why you, who are called the Ninja Doctor, are so afraid of war?"

As she spoke, Yun glanced at Uzumaki Rin behind her, whose eyes were filled with worry: "As the Uzumaki clan, who have been Konoha's allies since the Warring States period, doesn't Konoha have a responsibility to rescue its ally?"

The Third Hokage abruptly waved his hand: "The Land of Whirlpools has been destroyed, and whether they are members of the Uzumaki clan remains to be confirmed. Furthermore, Konoha was allied with the Uzumaki clan of the Land of Whirlpools, and now the Land of Whirlpools has been destroyed!"

"I don't believe you don't understand me. How can you carry out this mission under these circumstances?! This is a potential threat that could trigger an even bigger war!"

As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, Rin Uzumaki's voice came from behind Yun: "Two people, one of whom possesses terrifying chakra. Is he my clansman?"

The words had barely left his lips when a golden flash appeared in front of Yun.

"Third Hokage! I... am the current Hokage!"

One sentence made Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widen, staring intently at the suddenly appearing Minato.

"Minato...you should be aware of the consequences of doing this."

Minato Namikaze shook his head slightly as he looked at the other man: "War won't come so easily. Kusagakure isn't Kumogakure, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Besides... Konoha has never feared war!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head, deep in thought.

At that moment, Kushina, who had just arrived, immediately looked behind Yun and saw the red hair that was just like hers, which looked so familiar.

Kushina took a few quick steps, grabbed Rin's hand, and stared at her in silence for a long time.

Rin was clearly taken aback by the other party's enthusiasm. Karin, standing to the side, looked around in confusion and poked her mother with her finger, saying, "Mom..."

The voice woke Kushina up. She turned her head to look at Karin Uzumaki beside her, squatted down and picked her up.

"Is this your daughter? She should be about the same age as my son; they could be very good friends."

As she spoke, Kushina put her arm around Rin's shoulder: "And who knows, we might become in-laws someday! Let me tell you, my son is very handsome, just like his father!"

"By the way, how old is your daughter? What's her name? It doesn't matter if she's a bit older, but I still hope they can both enter the ninja academy next year!"

"That would make them childhood friends, just like Minato and I. Their relationship would definitely be great, don't you think?"

A series of self-talks left Rin Uzumaki completely dumbfounded, and even Karin blinked: What's going on? Am I getting engaged already?

It took Uzumaki Rin a while to reply, "My name is... Uzumaki Rin, and this is my daughter... almost five and a half years old, Uzumaki Karin."

Kushina exclaimed in surprise, "Your names, mother and daughter, are only one character different? They sound the same!"

As she spoke, Kushina patted Karin's hair beside her: "I'll talk to Aunt Kushina, remember that. If anyone bullies you in Konoha, just say my name. Next year, you and your brother will go to the Ninja Academy together."

Karin nodded blankly, but her hand, still clutching her mother's sleeve, remained firmly in her grasp.

Clearly, she was somewhat taken aback by the fact that someone had spoken to her in such a gentle manner for the first time.

However, at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been pondering with his head down for a moment, raised his head slightly and looked at Minato Namikaze: "Even if Uchiha Un's mission was a frame-up, once this girl who is almost six years old becomes a ninja, the Grass Village will definitely find out."

"How do you plan to explain Minato back then?"

Minato shook his head slightly: "No need to explain. Given the alliance between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan, we don't need to give Kusagakure any explanation."

"Kumakuya is right about something: peace is won through war. Konoha, with its strong and muscular physique, has not been invaded since it won the war against Kumogakure."

"If Kusagakure doesn't want to be destroyed, they should know what to do!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed: "The expansion of power will gradually cloud a person's vision, and even a victorious war will eventually come with sacrifices."

"The victory against Kumogakure showed everyone Konoha's strength, but it also made everyone more wary of Konoha."

"Minato, as the Fourth Hokage, I think you should know what you're doing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned and left, followed closely by his direct subordinates who bowed slightly to the Fourth Hokage.

"Minato, you'll regret this!"
