Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 150 is nothing but a cowardly old man who clings to life.

Based on the Byakugan and combined with the Hyuga clan's unique Gentle Fist technique, it can sever the opponent's chakra pathways.

The Byakugan's 360-degree field of view allows you to see all of your opponent's movements.

But just because you can see it doesn't mean you can react to it.

Beyond the visual range of ordinary people, it also requires sufficient reaction speed to avoid, break through, and counterattack.

The human body is a whole. Every movement of the hands and feet, the prelude to exerting force, will cause changes in the body. And these changes are what Yun will train Dejian on next.

As for ninjutsu, Yun is indeed no match for Kakashi in terms of quantity, so he will definitely need Kakashi's help in the second phase.

Anyway, I heard that this guy sent three students back to their original classes this time, so he should be fine now.

"Teacher, what about me?"

Wen Shengyun looked at the flower beside him, scratched his head and said, "I remember your goal is to open a veterinary hospital? A team needs a medical ninja, and Tokuma is more suitable for close combat with Gentle Fist for reconnaissance. Let me think..."

"Here's what we'll do. After we get back to the village, I'll ask the medical team to let you study there for a while and see if you have any talent for medical ninjutsu."

"As for combat prowess, the Inuzuka clan's unique secret techniques are already more than enough for you to learn for now. If you add your reconnaissance skills in the future, it will be very convenient for you to lead a team independently."

As soon as she finished speaking, Inuzuka Hana nodded.

Born into the same family, she understood that sometimes power wasn't the standard for training; finding one's own fighting rhythm and defining one's role within the team was the most important thing.

Then, Yun looked at Quan, who was eager to try.

In this mission, she used her Sharingan's genjutsu abilities to take down one enemy and then assist another, which greatly boosted her confidence in her own abilities.

but……

Yun Ke never forgot that Quan's eyes had been in a three-tomoe state during the assessment task.

In my memory, Sasuke awakened the Sharingan on the night of the massacre of his clan in the original manga, but he did not make any new breakthroughs in the subsequent Tsukuyomi genjutsu.

Illusions are probably not very effective anymore.

"Izumi, Tokuma will be in charge of close combat and reconnaissance in the squad, while Hana will be in charge of medical care and auxiliary reconnaissance. That way, your outstanding position will be very obvious."

"You can handle ranged fire-style ninjutsu, Sharingan genjutsu, and even Tokuma's close combat with your keen perception. Once you return, you should focus your training on ninjutsu and Sharingan genjutsu."

Quan listened attentively and nodded to indicate that he understood.

She then looked at the clouds and asked疑惑地问道, "Brother, the Sharingan's genjutsu and the chakra consumption for each use are so high, my chakra can't keep up. But you seem to do it so easily every time?"

These words startled Yun. It seemed that although the problem could be attributed to physical constitution, the immortal body and vortex bloodline were definitely things that could not be mentioned.

After a moment's thought, Yun replied, "Chakra is composed of a combination of spiritual energy and physical energy, and the amount of chakra depends more on an individual's constitution."

"However, one thing has been confirmed: as people age, the amount of chakra gradually increases, and there is a period of peak activity."

This answer made Quan let out a frustrated sigh; it seemed he would have to wait a few more years.

However, when she looked up at Yun again, she asked in confusion, "Brother, we're twins, so why are our constitutions different?"

Yun scratched his head: "Twins aren't all the same. Physical constitution is more akin to individual talent. But judging from Quan's awakened eye, his talent isn't weak at all."

Izumi smiled smugly: "Of course, I'm the younger sister of the Leaf Village Ghost."

Hana, standing to the side, looked at Izumi and said, "It's best not to use that kind of title in the future."

Quan was taken aback: "Why?"

Tokuma explained, "While it's clear to ninjas from other countries that they can abandon their mission and retreat upon encountering the Leaf Village Ghost, they haven't said that they can also abandon their mission and retreat upon encountering the Leaf Village Ghost's sister."

"A powerful figure whose name resounds throughout the ninja world also has many formidable enemies. Therefore, if we are to act alone in the future, it is best not to mention the teacher's name."

Quan, having realized what was happening, was somewhat dejected.

Yun, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "Starting tomorrow, we'll slow down the return journey. I'll teach you some basics along the way, which can also be considered a form of training."

……

The Land of Fields, one of Orochimaru's hidden bases.

"Hiss..."

Occasionally, the hiss of a snake could be heard from the dark corner, while Orochimaru was gathering something that had turned to ashes, preparing to analyze it piece by piece.

"Lord Orochimaru, is it still not working?"

Behind him stood a bespectacled man who clearly looked like a researcher, his eyes brimming with a thirst for knowledge.

Orochimaru licked his lips with his tongue, which resembled a snake's forked tongue, and then replied, "Tanaka, the improvement of ninjutsu cannot be achieved overnight, especially since this technique was developed by the Second Hokage of Konoha."

"After the First Hokage passed away, the Second Hokage, who was his younger brother, was worried that no one could deal with the threat of the Tailed Beasts after Wood Release. Therefore, he not only used the First Hokage's cells, but also developed this ninjutsu that can bring back souls in the Pure Land, which is almost like resurrection."

As he spoke, Orochimaru looked at the scroll in his hand that had just been sealed with ashes: "But this technique has not been perfected. Those who return from the Pure Land are far from being at their peak in combat power due to the defects in the physical bodies they carry and the technique itself."

Behind him, Tanaka adjusted his glasses: "But this kind of technique that can resurrect the dead is, no matter how you look at it, full of art..."

Orochimaru smiled with a ferocious expression but said nothing. However, the image of the Sharingan flashed through his mind.

Not just the Sharingan, but also the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths.

Rinnegan...

If he weren't absolutely certain, he would have made his move on the very first day he joined.

And now...

Orochimaru thought of the Uchiha clan in Konoha. Those eyes were the same ones that Uzumaki Sora obtained, and that was the same ones that were able to kill the Fourth Kage of Kumogakure.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

Being bound by rules and being part of a group makes one much easier to deal with than being unrestrained and of unknown origin...

"Hiss..."

A small snake on the ground flicked its tongue, seemingly giving some kind of signal.

At that moment, Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled, looking at Tanaka beside him and saying, "We have a guest. Go and bring him in. The seeds sown will eventually blossom and bear fruit. This is the limitation of a village."

Tanaka bowed and withdrew. Although he didn't know who had come, obeying orders had become a habit.

He was willing to give up everything if he could touch the ultimate art in this world.

……

A moment later, a masked ninja appeared in front of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, who had been working closely with Danzo long before Danzo was killed, clearly recognized the remnant of Root in front of him.

"Hmm, it seems that Uzumaki Sora didn't cleanse the roots after all. Even you can be used for something as trivial as transmitting information."

As Orochimaru spoke, a small snake slowly crawled up from the ground onto Hun's body, rolled up a scroll, and returned to Orochimaru's side.

Only after Orochimaru finished reading the scroll did Hun speak, saying, "This operation against Uchiha Kumo requires one of your laboratories, a laboratory for research on the First Hokage's cells."

Orochimaru closed the scroll, then fixed his snake-like eyes on Homura: "I'm not a Konoha ninja anymore. Mitokado Homura wants my cooperation, but what do I get in return?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hun took out another scroll and opened it. Under Orochimaru's watchful gaze, he slowly and deliberately unsealed the scroll.

Immediately, a crystal ball appeared in his hand.

"Buzz!"

As the hand seal for "Hum" was formed, the figure of Mitomon Homura appeared on the crystal ball.

"laugh!"

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Konoha's Hokage advisor is still as afraid of death as ever. How long can the chakra in this crystal ball be preserved?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of clods of earth rose into the air and formed characters in the air.

"Orochimaru, what do you want?"

After looking at the characters made of mud, Orochimaru turned to Hum: "Your technique is quite interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru stared directly at Homura Mitokado in the crystal ball and said, "After Uchiha Yun dies, I want his eyes!"

"impossible!!!"

The soil in mid-air quickly gathered, and the three symbols further illustrated the other party's attitude.

And then, he continued, "It's not that we can't find laboratories for the First Hokage's cells. Konoha conducted a lot of research on them in the early days, and Danzo even collaborated with you and achieved some results."

"I just don't want to go through that much trouble. Even if it's just the last remaining root, it's not impossible to make another laboratory."

As the soil settled, Orochimaru smiled and replied, "No, you can't do it."

After reaching a very certain conclusion, Orochimaru continued, "What you need is not a fake laboratory. If you want to make Uchiha Kumo, who has prestige in war, the laboratory must contain something that can arouse public opinion."

"Among these, the First Hokage's cells are one, and the corpses of Konoha ninjas who died because of the experiments are an indispensable part."

"So, now that you've lost most of your power, do you really have the ability to kill your own village's ninjas without anyone noticing?"

"With the remnants of the Root clan remaining, you might be able to do it, but having long been accustomed to being high and mighty, you don't have the courage to test the Fourth Hokage and the Uchiha's methods."

As he spoke, Orochimaru walked over and stared at Homura Mitokado, who was inside the crystal ball.

He then stated explicitly, "Unlike the Third Hokage, you two are truly cowards who fear death. Only by using my laboratory as a means can you pin the blame on me, a rogue ninja, even if things are discovered."

"Orochimaru, who was already conducting human experiments, is still killing Konoha ninja for the sake of the First Hokage's cells. No one would doubt such a conclusion, right?"

"That way, even if you fail, it will only be considered a misjudgment. Compared to taking action yourself and then framing someone, this is a far cry!"

"So, is my reason for wanting Uchiha Kumo's eyes sufficient?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mitokado Homura, inside the crystal ball, was rendered speechless.

Are you afraid of death?

This word reminded him of the scene when he escaped from Kumogakure back to Konoha, when the Second Hokage asked who would stay behind to cover their retreat.

Hiruzen was the first to volunteer, Danzo offered his opinion after the fact, and the others remained silent.

Are you afraid of dying?

Do not……

The evil Uchiha clan must never be a candidate for Hokage. If a member of the Uchiha clan becomes Hokage, Konoha will cease to exist!

Everything I'm doing now is for Konoha...

After a moment of silence, Mitokado Homura's gaze met Orochimaru's.

"I cannot give you Uchiha Kumo's eyes; you cannot control the power of those eyes."

Before Orochimaru could refuse, the characters formed from the mud changed again.

"But the Uchiha clan doesn't only have one pair of Mangekyou Sharingan. You can have Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou."

The soil has settled; we await a response.

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes narrowed slightly, and he licked his lips with his forked tongue: "Heh..."

"Not under my control? It seems that besides being a coward, you've started wanting to seize power since Danzo's death?"

"And Uchiha Shisui, if I remember correctly, he should be the head of the Uchiha clan now, right?"

At this point, Orochimaru gave a sinister laugh.

"Hehehe..."

His maniacal jawline now resembled a snake, ferocious and terrifying.

"It seems you're not just targeting Uchiha Kumo, who made great contributions on the battlefield... Are you trying to gradually erode the Uchiha clan?"

Mitokado Homura, inside the crystal ball, also had a solemn look in his eyes, and the soil quickly formed subtitles.

"The power of the Uchiha clan is evil. Both Hiruzen and I have always firmly believed this."

"That evil and chilling power is the power of the Uchiha Sharingan. We must never allow such a clan to have any chance of becoming Hokage!"

"And Uchiha Shisui is the same type of person as Uchiha Kumo!"

Orochimaru stared at the crystal ball: "Heh... Konoha... Your excuses have always been so plausible..."

"Enough!!"

The dirt flew up rapidly, then he asked, "Tell me your answer, Orochimaru! As a rogue ninja, you have no right to continue discussing the future of Konoha!"

After pondering for a moment, Orochimaru smiled calmly and said, "I... agree!"

After saying this, Orochimaru turned and left: "I still have a remaining laboratory in Konoha. I'll tell you its location tomorrow, but I need to plant someone among the people in charge of the operation."

"Tanaka, go to Konoha tomorrow and tell our respected advisor where exactly the laboratory he needs to frame is located."

Tanaka bowed in agreement, then looked at the crystal ball and Hum beside him, and said, "Please take care of me for the next period of time."

……

In a dark, underground corner, Orochimaru handed a sealing scroll to Tanaka.

"I think you know what to do. Mitokado Homura isn't that honest. If you can get Uchiha Kumo's eyes back, then just do it."

Tanaka nodded and continued, "If there's no opportunity, then we'll infiltrate these ninjas within Root and wait for the right moment."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Tanaka, I've discovered that... your talent lies not only in the development of ninjutsu, but more so in your comprehension."

"The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is not so simple. If the Uchiha clan makes a different choice, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Tanaka bowed in agreement; he understood Orochimaru's words perfectly.

If the Uchiha clan makes a different choice, it's not impossible for Konoha to descend into chaos and face collapse.

At that time, the Cloud Village and the Sand Village, who already have a grudge against each other, will surely take advantage of the situation and bite us hard.

And then, the Fourth Shinobi World War will be just around the corner.

……

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

"The noise in the village seems a bit loud lately..."

As Minato spoke, he looked out the window at the street, where a group of people were pointing at the Hokage Rock and discussing something with great interest.

Shikaku, who was behind him, replied, "They seem to be some of the last remaining elders, who happened to be talking about the First Hokage who founded Konoha."

Minato smiled and said, "The First Hokage, who single-handedly ended the chaos of the world, is indeed someone that everyone in Konoha should remember."

Shikaku frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "I actually suspect that someone is deliberately spreading rumors that there are not many people who know the power of the First Hokage these days."

"The villagers and ninjas mostly discussed the power of the First Hokage's Wood Release, the terrain of the Valley of the End, and the forests surrounding Konoha, which were all points of reference in their discussions."

"In fact, even I don't know as much about the First Hokage's power as these rumors suggest. It seems like someone is preparing something."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato's relaxed gaze gradually turned serious.

After Lu Jiu's analysis, there are indeed too many suspicious points in this matter.

It seems that someone is deliberately trying to make everyone understand the terror of the First Generation's power, but what is the purpose of doing so?

The image of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, flashed through Minato's mind immediately.

He then asked, "Has there been any report from Party A?"

Shikaku shook his head and replied, "There has been no movement from the previous generation, and nothing unusual has been found from the two advisors who took over the remaining Root members."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato closed his eyes and began to ponder.

After a long silence, Minato shook his head slightly: "No, in fact, the people who know the most about the First Hokage are the Third Hokage and his two advisors. This is a conclusion that can be reached without any investigation."

Yes, judging by age, there aren't many people who know about the first generation of power.

So what exactly is their purpose?

After pondering for a moment, Shikaku had some guesses, but he didn't say them out loud.

In fact, it's only been a few years since the Nara clan regained the trust of the fourth generation after the third.

After the war with Kumogakure ended, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the leaders of the Nara clan, had changed positions.

But given the short time available, and since some things concerned the Third Hokage and the two advisors, he couldn't say too much.

After all, nothing has happened yet.

but……

The two who inherited the will of the Second Hokage suddenly made a move, and recently in the village, Uchiha Yun, who ended the war by killing the Fourth Raikage, has been gaining momentum for more than a year, and his reputation as a genius and hero is growing stronger.

even……

Thinking of this, Shikaku glanced at Minato Namikaze in front of the window, and his resolve to say nothing more became even stronger.

Hey……

With a sigh, Shikaku suddenly felt that the Uchiha clan's situation seemed to have reached another turning point.

……
