Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 152 Human Experimentation

"Sasuke, Shikamaru, let's attack together and beat them up!"

At Naruto's shout, the kids who had been stunned by Sasuke's kunai technique finally came to their senses.

The leader retreated repeatedly, but still stubbornly asked, "Who are you? Why are you meddling in this white-eyed monster's business?!"

"You're the monster!"

With Naruto's roar, he immediately jumped up and threw a punch.

However, at this age, height and weight are indeed a significant advantage. The opponent dodged the attack and then raised his foot...

Upon seeing this, Erzhuzi, who had been leisurely, suddenly focused his gaze, raised his hand, and threw a kunai, which struck the sole of the opponent's shoe directly.

"Whoosh!"

The force of the kunai knocked the opponent to the ground, but the next second the opponent suffered a second injury.

"Bang."

Naruto, who had just landed, immediately pressed down on him and then unleashed a flurry of punches.

After a few moments, a little boy with a black eye burst into tears. His companion was also frightened and didn't dare to approach for a long time.

Shikamaru glanced at the kunai he had just pulled out and frowned, saying, "I made one cry. We're in big trouble when we get home."

He glanced at Sasuke, noticing his indifferent expression, and said, "When Naruto is in danger, your reaction is terrifyingly fast. Now, with that expression, are you trying to hide your relationship?"

These words caused a flicker of panic in Erzhuzi's eyes, but he immediately retorted arrogantly, "What relationship do I have with him? It's just that you were too slow to react."

"laugh."

Shikamaru chuckled, "Sasuke really isn't very carefree. Is this... reserve?"

These words caused Sasuke to turn his head slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, while one hand remained behind his back: "What...what did you just say?"

Uh!

This expression left Shikamaru speechless for a moment. Sometimes, when a little kid is exposed, he can do some really scary things.

Meanwhile, the little kid who had been beaten down by Naruto had finally finished crying.

Naruto looked her in the eye and asked, "You're not allowed to bully Hinata anymore, understand?"

The little brat, who was already stunned by the beating, nodded repeatedly before being let go. He then got up and ran away with his friends, wailing loudly.

Naruto stood up, brushed the snow off his clothes, and looked at Sasuke and Shikamaru, asking, "I told you two we'd attack together, but you were so slow, which led to me being ambushed."

Shikamaru scratched his head: "In this situation, if we charge in like that, we can't possibly defeat so many of them."

"If Sasuke's kunai hadn't scared his companions, it's hard to say which side would have gotten beaten up."

Sasuke snorted in agreement.

Naruto thought for a moment, then raised his hand to Sasuke and said, "Thank you, Sasuke."

Erzhuzi nodded, indicating that it was nothing, and his movements were very casual, but his face was a little red because of the snow, indicating that he was not calm inside.

Naruto then walked up to Hinata, looked at her closely, and asked, "I taught you this before when I helped you fight them off: you have to fight back when you encounter something like this, otherwise they will get more and more excited."

Hinata's face turned brighter than Sasuke's due to the warmth of their proximity, and she didn't hear a word he said, only responding instinctively.

Unaware of what was happening, Naruto reached out and placed his hand on Hinata's forehead, asking, "Is your face so red because you have a cold or fever? Mom said it's easy to catch a cold lately."

"Bang."

With a soft thud, Hinata collapsed to the ground.

This scene startled the three children. Shikamaru and Sasuke rushed over and were about to carry Hinata to the hospital when she woke up.

"Naruto-kun...you don't need to go to the hospital..."

A soft sound rang out, and Shikamaru pulled Naruto away, saying, "I think you should stay away. She's probably just shy. But it's quite impressive that she's so shy she fainted."

These words made Hinata lower her head even further.

Shikamaru then thought for a moment and said, "It's strange that those guys don't know about the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan in Konoha. Why didn't you fight back after that punch you threw earlier?"

Sasuke nodded in agreement. "Judging from Naruto's words, this doesn't seem to be the first time. Even though we're classmates, we don't run into each other every time."

Hinata lowered her head and nodded slightly. After standing up, she bowed and replied softly, "I'm sorry... I'll try my best in the future."

"call……"

Shikamaru looked troubled. "She really does apologize too easily..."

……

Yun, who was watching all this from a short distance away, smiled. It seemed this was the second time he had rescued a damsel in distress since the famous scene.

Those kids who ran away just now probably weren't ninjas.

To be honest, while it's not wrong in terms of equality for a few commoner children to bully the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main branch, it doesn't make much sense logically.

Why are there advantages and disadvantages for adults? Is this just how kids are?

After smiling, Yun prepared to leave for the barbecue restaurant.

But at that moment, an angry middle-aged woman carrying a rolling pin came running over with her son.

"Who?! Who beat our Nota up like this?!"

The angry figure had barely appeared when Shikamaru immediately said, "If we get caught, our parents will definitely be notified. Run!"

Naruto paused for a moment, then thought of his mother at home. She was a picky eater when he was a child, and the woman who was so scary that even his father, the Hokage, was afraid of her when she got angry!

"He bullied Hinata first, why did he run away?"

Just as Naruto was about to run away, he looked at Sasuke and hurriedly said, "If you're not afraid of my mom's nagging, then stay."

These words startled Erzhuzi, who then seemed to have thought of something terrible and his face changed. He immediately started running after him.

Naruto held Hinata's hand, with Shikamaru and Sasuke running closely behind.

Not far away, Yun smiled as he watched the few kids running away. It seemed that the personalities of the main characters were also undergoing subtle changes.

And all of this is because of my own existence.

"Hello!"

"Did you see some kids bullying our child?"

Yun turned to look at the old woman pointing at him with a rolling pin, then at the kid beside her, and smiled as he asked, "Isn't this the kid who bullied the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family? The Hyuga family was just looking for you, saying they wanted to ask what the Byakugan monster meant."

Then Yun asked the little devil in front of him, "Did you just say that?"

"Hin...Hinata?"

The once aggressive middle-aged woman immediately deflated because of a single name.

However, the little devil beside him, probably because of the adults' presence, had regained his courage: "His eyes are all white, he's not a monster, he's..."

Before he could finish speaking, his mother covered his mouth.

"No, that's just kids playing around."

She glanced at the rolling pin in her hand and said, "Oh right, there's still ramen cooking in the pot at home, we need to hurry back."

After seeing her lead her son away, Yun looked into the bushes behind her.

"Come out, everyone's gone."

As soon as he finished speaking, four children emerged from the bushes.

After all, they were all members of a clan. After running away from the scene, they hid here to observe and see if they would eventually find their way to the ninja academy.

"call……"

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief as he came out, then looked at Yun and said, "Thanks, thanks to you, the trouble is over."

Naruto looked at Yun and smiled, "Thanks to Brother Yun just now."

Hinata bowed in gratitude and then hid behind Naruto.

Yun waved his hand, then looked at Sasuke and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"

Sasuke curled his lip and uttered only two words: "Pervert."

This address surprised Naruto and Shikamaru. Naruto immediately said, "Sasuke, how can you talk to Brother Yun like that? Apologize now."

Shikamaru, standing to the side, nodded and said, "As a hero who ended the war by slaying the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, such a title is too disrespectful, Sasuke."

The two friends' attempts to persuade him seemed to have no effect; Erzhuzi pouted and did not apologize.

Yun waved his hand, then looked at Sasuke and asked with a smile, "How about... I tell them why you call me a pervert?"

? ? ! !

These words startled Erzhuzi.

I wet my pants and got flicked...

If this were said out loud, wouldn't we be in deep trouble?!

"I'm...I'm sorry...Brother Yun!"

Seeing that Erzhuzi knew what was good for him, Yun reached out and ruffled his hair.

As for the other three, apart from Hinata, who was being held by Naruto's hand and was completely confused, the other two looked at Sasuke with surprise.

Something's definitely going on here.

Shikamaru nodded to himself; there was definitely something juicy going on here.

Before they could ask any questions, Yun spoke up: "It's still snowing at this hour, why aren't you going home to eat? What are you doing running around outside?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shikamaru panicked.

They were originally planning to go home, but they were delayed because Hinata was being bullied. Now it will definitely be troublesome to go back.

He immediately forgot about the gossip, waved his hand, and ran out, saying, "I'm going back first, or I'll get scolded."

Erzhuzi also said to Naruto, "My mother is definitely still waiting for me, so I'm leaving now."

As the kid was leaving, he glanced at Yun, as if to say something like, "We'll see."

Seeing that his two friends had left, Naruto prepared to go home as well, but...

He then looked at Hinata beside him; her hand felt so warm…

Ok?

Holding hands?

Naruto then looked at his hand, immediately released it, and explained apologetically, "Hinata, I... I didn't mean to, I just forgot."

Hinata blushed and whispered, "It's...it's okay."

Yun, who had just eaten a large bowl of dog food, watched with great interest, after all, the scene was completely different from what she remembered.

However, upon hearing Naruto say he was going back, Yun coughed...

"Um... Naruto. Letting a girl go home alone isn't something a guy should do. I'm giving you a task: take Hinata home."

???

Naruto looked completely bewildered.

Yun chuckled mischievously, "You've been holding a girl's hand for so long on purpose, you have to take responsibility. As the Hokage's son, can you let Hinata go back alone?"

Naruto was stunned, then looked at Hinata, and then at Yun.

After a moment, he said to Hinata, "Brother Yun is right, shall I take you back?"

Hinata gave a soft reply, and then Naruto waved to Yun, reluctantly accepting the mission.

Yun then added, "The snowy night scene makes you two seem like you're going on a date."

A date...?

No sooner had the words left his mouth than an interesting scene appeared in Yun's perspective.

Hinata, who was struggling to stay upright, seemed to have an unknown power surging within her, which even caused blue smoke to rise from the top of her head.

Do not!

No, this isn't a case of shyness from the two-dimensional world manifesting in the three-dimensional world. The instability of emotions has indeed caused something different to appear within him.

Ok?

Has it weakened?

"Hinata, Hinata, what's wrong?"

The shouts brought Yun back to her senses, only to find that Hinata had fainted again.

but……

That force just now was definitely not an illusion.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was inherited from Indra, while the physiques of the Senju and Uzumaki clans were inherited from Ashura.

Indra and Ashura were both sons of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

The Byakugan... is a skill inherited from Hamura Otsutsuki...

Putting Boruto aside for now, the ultimate boss of this world, Kaguya Otsutsuki, also has Byakugan eyes.

From this perspective, Hinata, whom Otsutsuki Toneri called the Byakugan Princess, definitely has an extraordinary bloodline.

According to the information in Boruto, Boruto, who was born from his union with Naruto, has the Byakugan and an unusual bloodline.

The other daughter, Himawari, even awakened the Byakugan at a young age, and punched Naruto and the Nine-Tails inside him, causing them to fall into a deep sleep for a day.

Putting aside the argument that Hinata is being weakened, Hinata's bloodline is definitely fundamentally different from that of ordinary Hyuga.

"Brother Yun, Hinata has fainted again."

Naruto's voice came, and Yun appeared in front of the two in an instant, casually carrying Hinata on his back.

He looked at Naruto and teased, "Your little girlfriend is too shy; she gets dizzy just hearing the word 'date.' Let's go, we'll take her home together."

"A little...girlfriend?"

Naruto, momentarily stunned, realized what was happening and followed after them, saying, "Brother Yun, is it appropriate to joke like this with a child?"

Yun shook his head: "Anyway, in my eyes, Hinata is more than a match for an idiot like you."

These words made Naruto jump three feet in the air: "What do you mean 'idiot'? Explain yourself! Don't think you're an adult and talk to me like that!"

……

Amidst the commotion, a medium for Hinata appeared within the cloud's sealing scroll.

To reconstruct a power that surpasses Kaguya Otsutsuki's, certain speculations need to be put into practice.

Now, no matter how you look at it, Hinata, the princess known as the Byakugan, seems to be different from the ordinary Hyuga.

In my memory, Toneri Otsutsuki didn't use Hinata's eyes, but rather Hanabi's.

Although they were born of the same mother and belonged to the same main family, it seemed that there was still a problem with Hanabi's eyes after the last fetal movement, which had transformed into the Tenseigan.

Why did Toneri Otsutsuki marry Hinata?

The changes within his body after the last transaction had ceased due to a lack of something, and the Hyuga bloodline itself was one of the targets, so choosing Hinata was the best option.

……

Konoha, a barbecue restaurant.

"Teacher, I thought you weren't coming because you were worried about paying the bill!"

"Brother, is something holding you up?"

Yun, who had just entered, pulled Naruto inside: "We ran into this brat on the way, and we were delayed because of him."

Yun then introduced, "This kid is called Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage. It's getting late, so we came along to mooch a meal."

Naruto looked at the four senior students and bowed slightly nervously, saying, "Please take good care of me."

Hua, who was sitting outside, smiled and said, "We've all graduated, how can we take care of you now? Come on, sit down and eat quickly, you must be hungry at this hour."

Izumi shifted inside and then asked, "Speaking of which, Sasuke, Itachi's younger brother, who ran away after that tantrum last time, should have been in the same class as him, right?"

Tokuma nodded across from him: "There are quite a few clan members this year, Hinata from the main family..."

At this point, Tokuma paused, seemingly realizing that this involved the main family's issues.

Yun, however, did not hold back. Seeing that Naruto had already sat down, he smiled and continued, "Generally speaking, the heirs of the Hyuga main family do not go to the Ninja Academy, but receive guidance from the family within the clan."

Izumi paused, then asked, "Is the Hyuga main family that special? What about Hinata...?"

Yun nodded: "The Hyuga clan's fighting style is usually a series of Gentle Fist techniques combined with the Byakugan, but the branch family members are not qualified to learn advanced Gentle Fist techniques. Tokuma's Kaiten would not have been taught to him if it weren't for the war with Kumogakure."

"Hinata is indeed the eldest daughter of the main family in this generation, and the heir to the main family. I was wondering before why she was no match for the second daughter, who is quite a bit older than her. It seems... she was holding back."

These words startled Tokuma, who was well aware of the difference between the main family and the branch family.

Did Hinata deliberately lose to her younger sister?

Just as they were about to say something, the murmurs coming from outside the curtain of the private room made them all stop.

Have you heard about some recent news?

"These are things we shouldn't be discussing, are they?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Even ordinary people are talking about these things now. What we're talking about now is something everyone already knows, so it doesn't count as leaking secrets."

"That's right. It seems like these things have been deliberately spread recently, and everyone's talking about them."

"Heh... Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, and that Dark One of Konoha's experiments, I really want to know what kind of research these people were doing..."

"I was genuinely shocked when Orochimaru became a rogue ninja."

"I have some breaking news here, want to know?"

"Anyway, it'll be public knowledge soon enough; it's no longer a secret. Don't you want to know what such a big shot is researching?"

Tell me about it.

"Heh... what they're researching is human experiments primarily using first-generation cells!"

The speaker paused there, seemingly waiting for the other side to calm down.

After a moment, the man continued, "In fact, this research was conducted a long time ago. The First Hokage's power was simply too strong. In order to prevent the Tailed Beasts from entering the village, the village had to conduct voluntary experiments."

"But in the end... they all failed. The village then sealed off the research on the First Hokage's cells and stopped all experiments. Orochimaru and that high-ranking official named Danzo restarted the experiments, and no longer voluntarily."

"This is also the reason why Danzo suddenly disappeared and Orochimaru defected. But..."

"But what?"

"But it seems that this time, their experiment has yielded some results and has been put into practical use!"

"How is that possible!"

A gasp rang out, followed by the man's hurried question: "How could it possibly be put into practical use? Orochimaru defected long ago, and we don't even know of Danzo's existence. How could their research possibly be applied now?"

The person opposite him shook his head and said, "I don't know. This is all the information I have. The details of the human experimentation aren't mentioned, but as far as I know, this information is mostly true."

……

Behind the curtain, Tokuma looked at his teacher and asked in confusion, "It's really absurd that such news could even get out."

As he spoke, Tokuma seemed to remember something, and took out a note from behind him and handed it to Yun.

"Lord Hizashi asked me to invite you, teacher, to visit tomorrow."

Upon receiving the invitation, Hana Inuzuka's gaze suddenly turned somewhat serious.

After thinking for a moment, he also took out a scroll from behind him: "My mother asked me to give this to you, teacher. I almost forgot."

Yun smiled as she took the scroll.

The Nara clan, the Hyuga branch family, and the Inuzuka clan all reacted to the impending storm.

This situation would have been impossible a few years ago, but since those two old fogies saw the difference, why are they still continuing?

Are we absolutely certain of victory?

Or is it because the purpose of this series of public opinions is of great importance to them?

These two old men didn't cause much harm, but they were certainly a nuisance.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi's villainy stemmed from his indecisiveness, then these two guys were only one level less disgusting than Danzo.

or……

After a moment's thought, Naruto suddenly said, "No matter what kind of conspiracy that rogue ninja and Dango have, Dad will protect the village and everyone, because that's the Hokage's responsibility!"

These words stunned everyone.

Naruto, who was being watched, scratched his head sheepishly: "Ha... the second half is something my dad always says, so I picked it up."

Yun reached out and tapped Naruto's forehead: "Hurry up and eat. You're just a little kid, you can't worry about these things. Your job right now is to eat more and grow up as fast as possible."

Naruto puffed out his cheeks, but obediently picked up a piece of grilled meat and started eating it by himself.

Meanwhile, the clouds opposite it fell into deep thought.

The Fourth Hokage...

If there were any particularly important purposes for Mitokado Haru and Utatane Koharu, there would only be two.

Sometimes, those who gain power are reluctant to let go when they lose it.

Since the Cloud Village incident, the power in Konoha has gradually been completely controlled by the Fourth Hokage. Even in the Third Hokage's direct ANBU, half of the members are more willing to obey the Fourth Hokage's orders.

With the destruction of the roots, the few remaining fish of varying sizes were indeed too insignificant for the two who held the title of consultant.

After all, their situation was completely different when they were in power for three generations compared to now.

So... the position of Hokage is one of them.

As things stand, Kakashi is still too young, so Shisui is not an option for the time being.

Is it the same arrangement as in the original work as I remember it?
