Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 153 Kaguya's Medium

In the original story as I remember it, the Nine-Tails' rampage killed the Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya refused to become Hokage, and Tsunade didn't return.

This outcome resulted in the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, becoming Hokage again, which infuriated Danzo at the time.

As things stand, this situation remains unchanged.

So, are these two old men plotting against the Fourth Hokage? But with Madara Uchiha's name appearing in public discourse, shouldn't I also be involved?

Or perhaps... it's still water?

wrong!

Yun recalled the question that Zhishui had asked her in Nanhechuan.

How badly have your eyesight deteriorated to this point?

After these years of subtle changes, Shisui's sensitivity to politics is clearly different from that in the original story, so he must have realized something.

It seems...

After the war with Kumogakure ended, the intelligence that Kakashi and Itachi had gathered made those two old guys unable to hold back any longer.

That makes sense. The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan isn't that scary for these resilient old turtles, since each use would damage their eyesight.

The inherent dangers of the ninja profession will only exacerbate this problem.

Once all the Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan go blind, the Uchiha clan will once again become the target of public criticism if certain methods are employed.

but……

However, the Uchiha clan had an unexpected problem: their Mangekyou Sharingan, whose vision had never been impaired.

This is obviously not difficult to find out, and it's impossible for me to pretend to be blind.

Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, even now, still hold the position of Hokage advisors. Comparing Itachi's eyesight with his usual performance, it's obvious that he has vision problems.

This is……

Are you worried that another Madara will appear in the Uchiha clan?

Yun smiled, wondering what role the Third Generation played in this whole incident.

Based on the information provided by Shikaku, it seems that the Third Hokage has been missing ever since he brought Karin and her daughter back.

As for the third generation...

The Second Hokage died while on a mission to Kumogakure. At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had retreated back to Konoha, did not have an easy time becoming Hokage.

There must be many details involved, and the third generation that ultimately succeeded was probably not like that at the beginning.

……

"Naruto?"

The curtain was lifted, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, stood in the doorway, smiling apologetically at everyone: "I'm so sorry to disturb your gathering. After Yun's shadow clone told me, I came straight here."

As the shadow clone disappeared, Yun also learned that the Fourth Hokage had just been working at the Hokage Building.

"Want to grab something to eat? You're still busy working at this hour. Won't the Hokage get a scolding when he gets back?" Yun asked with a smile.

At this moment, Tokuma and the other two stood up, bowed, and said, "Lord Hokage."

Minato waved his hand with a smile: "It's alright, it's alright, you guys can continue. As for me, I'd better not, otherwise Kushina might not open the door for me."

Minato then looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, we should go back."

Naruto wiped his mouth, stood up, and politely said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Yun. I apologize for the intrusion."

As the two were about to leave, Minato turned around, thought for a moment, and said, "Now that Yun is back, come to the Hokage Building tomorrow and hand in the mission report."

Yun nodded: "I've had a lot to do since I got back. I was originally planning to go tomorrow. But due to some reasons, the C-level mission was changed to a B-level mission at the last minute."

Minato nodded, then left with Naruto.

The dinner party ended quickly, and Yun paid the bill and then took Quan home.

As they were leaving, Tokuma and Hana seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Whether it was the invitation from Hizashi, the scroll given by Hana's mother, or the words of the Hokage just now, all of these made the two realize that their teacher seemed to be getting into some trouble this time.

"Well... don't look at me like that, it's not a big deal."

Yun smiled and said, "Focus on cultivating and strengthening yourselves. Right now, there's no need for you to know anything. You're not important enough to know anything, understand?"

Leaving behind a single sentence, Yun took Quan and departed.

On the way, Izumi finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Brother, I feel..."

Before Izumi could finish speaking, Yun nodded and replied, "Your feeling is correct. What I heard at the barbecue restaurant earlier should indeed be someone targeting the Uchiha, or at least temporarily targeting me."

She did not hide her identity as an Uchiha and her sister from Tokuma and Hana, which made her fundamentally different from Tokuma and Hana.

After pondering for a moment and not receiving any further response from Yun, Quan asked, "Is it... those people who targeted our Uchiha clan before?"

"Oh?"

Yun looked at Quan and asked with a smile, "Quan knows too?"

Quan nodded: "I didn't know before, but after Brother Zhishui became the clan leader, I found out about that clan meeting. So..."

Yun reached out and tapped Quan's forehead: "The Uchiha clan has been getting better day by day since Shisui became the clan leader. And the Uchiha of today cannot be brought back to their original state by some schemes."

"Don't worry. I'm telling you this just to put your mind at ease. Your brother will handle the rest."

Quan pouted and said, "I'll work really hard in my training from now on, so I can help you out, brother."

Yun smiled and said, "We'll see..."

……

Night fell, but the clouds in the room were still not at rest.

Suddenly, the Sharingan in his eye sockets activated, and then a six-pointed star surrounded by a cross-shaped kaleidoscope appeared in his eye sockets and slowly rotated.

The eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has been obtained, and the Grell Stone, which has filled me with so much speculation, has also found its place.

Right now, it seems that Xiao and Uzumaki Sora don't have any missions, which means they can finally put their long-planned plans to use.

If we could obtain a medium for trading with Kaguya Otsutsuki, we might be able to achieve our goal in one fell swoop.

If the plan can reach the sixth level now, many things can be initiated ahead of schedule.

Akatsuki of Nagato was practically dispensable.

Thinking of this, the ability to buffer for a long time that had always been preserved in Yun's eyes was activated.

Using specific points to construct a broader picture, predict the future!

[Speak of destiny!]

In an instant, the ability was activated.

In his mind, details about Kaguya Otsutsuki were rapidly forming.

Hamura Otsutsuki and Hagoromo Otsutsuki's mother, the woman sealed away by the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei...

The point has been established, the medium for Kaguya Otsutsuki, this is the aspect that the cloud needs to know.

A large amount of pupil power was being consumed, but Yun, who possessed the Eternal Eye and the Immortal Body, only frowned slightly.

boom!!

A silent roar exploded in Yun's mind, and the blurry images around him began to recede rapidly.

Is this...the future?

A moment later, a scene appeared in my mind.

A black figure emerged from the crack in the rock of the Earth Explosion Star and fell down, quickly burrowing into the ground as soon as it landed.

Then, a pair of bright eyes, filled with sorrow, looked at the stones that were still gathering in the sky.

"Mom! I will definitely save you!"

"Hamura and Hagoromo, those two unfilial sons will definitely get the punishment they deserve!!"

A moment later, the image disappeared.

Yun rubbed her sore and swollen eyes. Was it not the future, but the past?

However, the medium that can serve as Kaguya is Black Zetsu?

Thinking about it, it does make a lot of sense. It was split off from Kaguya's chakra, representing Kaguya's will. This thing seems to be different from the Hamura brothers.

However, it seems that only those at the Six Paths level would be able to capture Black Zetsu and use him as a medium.

Six levels.

Those who reached this level, as far as I remember, appeared in the original work: Six Paths Obito, Six Paths Madara, Six Paths Naruto, Toneri Otsutsuki...

The Eternal Eye and Rinnegan cannot achieve the Six Paths, but the Rinnegan connects to the Gedo Mazo, which is the body of the Ten-Tails.

No, it's also possible that only Madara's Rinnegan is connected to the Ten-Tails' body.

Speaking of which...

The Sharingan and Rinnegan are not part of the same system, and Madara's Rinnegan was not obtained through the evolution of the Eternal Eye.

It's more likely that the eyes of Hagoromo were obtained through a bloodline reversion after Ashura's chakra combined with Indra's chakra.

And the eye on Kaguya Otsutsuki's forehead: the Nine-Tomoe Wheel Eye!

After Otsutsuki Toneri obtained the Tenseigan, he gained the Six Paths Mode, while the Rinnegan, which is often mentioned alongside the Tenseigan, does not have a Six Paths Mode.

Sasuke doesn't have the Rinnegan with six tomoe in Boruto either, and later on, Momoshiki and the others, perhaps Kaguya... are different?

I remember that Momoshiki Otsutsuki called Kaguya "Princess Kaguya," and the word "Princess" in her title means "princess."

After some thought, Yun had already decided on the target for her next transaction.

……

Late at night, at Mitokado Homura's residence.

"Whoosh."

"What's wrong so late?"

Mitokado Homura's voice rang out, and the kneeling ninja replied, "The Third Hokage and the Advisor have arrived."

"Um?"

Mitokado Homura stood up, pondered for a moment, and said, "Take them to the barrier room."

The ninja who received the order left, and Mitokado Homura stood up and looked out the window.

Is it impossible to hide it any longer?

So, Hiruzen, what is your attitude?

……

The small room was shielded by a barrier on all sides, clearly indicating that the things discussed here were things that couldn't be brought to light.

At this moment, Hiruzen's brows were furrowed, and the blue energy on the back of his hand holding the scroll was bursting out. Clearly, the old Third Hokage was not calm at this moment.

"squeak……"

A small opening appeared in the barrier, the door was pushed open, and Mitokado Homura, already dressed, appeared before the two.

"Hiruzen, is there something important that you need so late?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Hiruzen Sarutobi threw the scroll in his hand over.

"Bang."

Mitomon Yan did not take it, letting the reel fall to the ground.

But this clearly did not quell the Third Hokage's anger, and he roared, "What exactly do you want to do?!"

Amidst the angry voice, Mitokado Homura bent down to see the scroll, smiled, and replied, "It seems you already know, Hiruzen."

The bland and indifferent answer seemed to anger the usually kind-hearted man, San Dai.

He looked at his two old friends and said in a low voice, "Those who are still alive and can clearly see the power of the First Hokage are right here! Your actions have only just begun, and everyone will know it's you behind it!"

Mitokado Homura calmly replied, "I'm just doing the right thing. Konoha has strayed from the right path, and setting things right is what I want to do."

"Bang!"

The Third Hokage slammed his hand on the table in front of him and stood up angrily: "By exposing Danzo and Orochimaru's human experiments to the public, and by revealing the First Hokage's cell research, do you want to incite an uproar in Konoha?"

"Human experimentation for special powers will put the entire village in constant fear. What exactly are you trying to do?!"

Mitokado Homura slightly raised his head, his gaze fixed on Hiruzen Sarutobi: "That Uchiha clan member, Uchiha Yun, I don't believe you didn't notice his unusual behavior!"

"Hiruzen!"

With a roar, Mitokado Homura's pupils were bloodshot: "If Uchiha Yun's Mangekyou Sharingan hadn't suffered a decline in vision, then his power would be the next Uchiha Madara!!"

"And Konoha... no longer has a Hashirama Senju, do you understand?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the small room fell silent.

After a long silence, the Third Hokage, his brows furrowed and his gaze grave, exhaled and said, "I have witnessed the changes in the Uchiha clan over the past year. No matter what, Uchiha Kumo is a Konoha ninja."

"hehe……"

Mitokado Homura seemed to laugh at those words, his gaze towards Hiruzen filled with disdain.

"Hiruzen. You're still the same as always. Whether it's your disciples, old friends, or the Uchiha clan, you're always indecisive."

Then, Mitokado Homura looked at Utatane Koharu beside her and asked, "What's your opinion?"

Koharu Utatane paused, then shook her head slightly: "I don't know what to do anymore. All along, I've seen the Uchiha's power as evil. But..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mitokado Homura raised his hand to stop him.

He then looked at the Third Hokage again and said in a deep voice, "Since the war with Kumogakure, the Uchiha clan has been integrated into the Konoha clan system. This is a record from Root!"

As he spoke, Mitokado Homura took out a piece of intelligence and opened it, which contained records of the actions of several families, including Nara, Inuzuka, and Hyuga.

"This generation of Uchiha is no longer just about possessing evil powers. When I discovered that Uchiha Kumo's Mangekyou Sharingan vision had not diminished, I began to investigate him."

"The more I learned about Uchiha Kumo, the more my inner fears grew."

"The current head of the Uchiha clan, the young man who rose to fame in the Third Shinobi World War, was not actually the mastermind behind this series of actions."

"I discovered... before he met Uchiha Kumo, his personality wasn't difficult to control. If you promised him a great cause, he would easily obey, as demonstrated in his mission records from six years ago."

"But now... this complete transformation of the Uchiha clan is all because of that brat who's only thirteen years old!"

"Hiruzen, do you know what this means?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was opposite him, paused for a moment. What did that mean?

Having held a position of power for decades, he naturally understood what it meant. He possessed such political acumen at a young age and now had the same power as Madara Uchiha.

Such a person, perhaps in a few years, when he is old enough, might start plotting for the Hokage position.

With political acumen combined with that kind of power, becoming Hokage would be inevitable once the opportunity arises.

Now, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly understood his old friend.

As a disciple of the Second Hokage, he also inherited the Second Hokage's will: the Uchiha clan cannot become Hokage!

but……

This is not a reason to cause a village riot and for every family to live in fear.

After the victory in the war against Kumogakure, all the ninja villages rediscovered the power of Konoha.

But for the same reason, the role of the Uchiha clan on the battlefield is also clearly recognized by all the ninja villages.

If Uchiha Kumo is labeled as a human experimenter, the Uchiha clan will be indignant, and all the bloodline clans will be in danger, and Konoha will cease to exist.

"Yan, no matter what, stop your plans!"

After saying that, Hiruzen slightly raised his head and opened his eyes: "Regarding the question about Uchiha Yun, I will have him give me an answer about his Mangekyou Sharingan, which doesn't seem to lose its vision. As for your actions, cease immediately!"

"hehe……"

Mitokado Homura chuckled softly, "Hiruzen, we've come this far, you should know my purpose very well, right?"

"The Fourth Hokage, due to his obstinacy in the war against Kumogakure, eventually restarted human experiments on the First Hokage's cells. After being applied to Uchiha Kumo, his Mangekyou Sharingan no longer impaired his vision, which allowed him to kill the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure."

"Hiruzen, are you satisfied with this result? At that point, under the barrage of criticism, the Fourth Hokage will have no choice but to step down, even if his ultimate goal was to win the war."

"When that time comes, Hiruzen, as the former Hokage, with no successor, wouldn't it be better for you to step forward and take charge?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Homura Mitokado and muttered, "Are you insane? Homura! No matter how evil the Uchiha are, they are still Konoha's Uchiha. If you continue with your plan, it will only lead to Konoha's destruction!!"

"hehe……"

Mitomon Yan laughed, his face now appearing somewhat ferocious and terrifying.

"No, Konoha will not be destroyed. Only under your leadership, Hiruzen, will Konoha grow stronger. If we continue to let the Uchiha run rampant, Konoha will only face destruction!"

At this moment, the Third Generation stared intently at his old friend, his eyes filled with disbelief.

For him, although he inherited the evil beliefs of the Uchiha clan, the safety and stability of Konoha outweighed that.

"call……"

After sighing, Hiruzen said, "From now on, you will no longer be allowed to leave this mansion. My direct ANBU will surround this place."

Mitokado Homura shook his head slightly: "The plan has reached this point, and no one can stop it anymore. Whether I can get out or not is meaningless."

"The hatred that the Root members harbor for the Fourth Hokage and the Uchiha clan is not something I can control..."

Hiruzen's gaze was solemn. After taking a deep look at his old friend, he turned and left with Koharu Utatane.

The mansion was then surrounded by the secret agents.

……

"Hiruzen".

Walking on the snow-covered road, Koharu Tsurugi looked at her old friend and said, "Let me show you some things. You haven't left the house for over a year, so there are some things you don't know."

The Third Hokage paused for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "I need to find Minato now. If the human experimentation is really pinned on Minato and the Uchiha, then things will be very serious."

At that moment, several ninjas wearing headbands staggered out of the only izakaya (Japanese pub) still open on the street.

After looking around, Koharu, who was turning over to her room, said, "Perhaps we don't need to go anywhere."

These words made the third generation stop in his tracks, and he immediately looked towards the izakaya.

"Pinghuo, if it weren't for you on this mission, I'd probably be lying on a gravesite by now."

"What nonsense are you spouting, you bastard? With me here, how could you possibly die? I'm an Uchiha!"

"Hahaha... You've changed a lot, but your arrogant personality is still as awful as ever."

"You two shouldn't sit on the ground! You'll catch a cold from the snow. Don't lie down either!"

"Kyoko!"

The shout startled the woman in the group of three. Then, Uchiha Heika, lying on the ground, said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I will never let you die! In the name of the Uchiha!"

His teammate punched him in the arm: "What an annoying jerk, why are you saying such cheesy things?"

The Uchiha who was lying down opened his eyes, and the two tomoe in them slowly rotated.

She covered her eyes with her hands and smiled, "I understand what the clan leader and Yun said. This power is not an evil power, but a power that was born to protect the bonds."

"Ugh... I can't stand you guys!"

The complaining female teammate helped the two up, and the three of them stumbled and slowly left.

……

Koharu Utatane looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and murmured, "Now, I'm starting to doubt whether the power of the Uchiha is evil or a power born to protect."

As she spoke, she took out a scroll and handed it over: "This is a record of mission reports I've collected over the past year, from the Uchiha clan. Perhaps you can take a look."

The Third Hokage took the scroll and opened it.

After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

The Uchiha recorded here seems to be quite different from the Uchiha of the past.

The concluding summary includes a quote from the Uchiha clan's library.

The power of the Sharingan is only born when one encounters a bond that one would fight to protect at all costs.

The power that is born is for the better protection of bonds; only Uchiha who understand love can awaken this power.

"call……"

After exhaling, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked intently at Koharu Utatane: "You should have shown it to En just now."

Koharu Utatane shook her head slightly: "It's no use. Madara Uchiha's image has a great influence on him. That's why he was so nervous and went to great lengths when he learned that Uchiha Kumo might also possess that kind of power."

Seemingly remembering something, Hiruzen nodded slightly: "In that era, how many people could not be afraid of such power?"

With that, Hiruzen slowly walked away: "You go back. I'll go find Minato to discuss countermeasures. No matter what, Konoha is the most important thing."

Behind her, watching her old friend's departing figure, Koharu Utatane also sighed.

After the war with Kumogakure ended, she, like En, lost her power as an advisor. At first, she did feel empty inside, but now, seeing Konoha seemingly growing stronger...

I also feel that perhaps trust should be left to the next generation.

No matter what, our generation will grow old and die.

So, when the second generation... teacher was leaving, did he also have absolute trust in us?
