Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 156 The Stone Stele at the Foot of Nanga Shrine (12 words)

After talking with Shisui on the banks of the Nanga River, Yun knew that Shisui would definitely give a copy of the information about him to the Fourth Hokage.

When Shisui learned that his Eternal Eyes came from a primal atavism in his own bloodline, all his schemes based on the first generation of human cell experiments became insignificant.

However, the emergence of a power like the Eternal Eye would inevitably instill fear in the Fourth Hokage and the rest of the clans, who would fear the reappearance of someone with the fighting strength of Madara Uchiha, and whether the Uchiha clan would harbor thoughts of a coup.

At this time, Shisui provided a lot of information. It meant that Yun's Mangekyou Sharingan, which had already reached eternity, was not the end.

In Yun's eye sockets, a six-pointed star surrounded a cross, and the pattern in his pupils was completely different from before.

During the war with Kumogakure, the pattern of the Kumogakure Mangekyou Sharingan was found in both Minato's records and the Third Hokage's intelligence records.

At this moment, as they looked into the clouds, they sensed the uncontained, dark chakra in the air. This eye power had already surpassed the Mangekyou Sharingan in every way.

"Three generations."

Minato's voice rang out, and after looking at the Third Hokage, he asked, "This... is this the kind of power Madara Uchiha possesses?"

The Third Hokage looked at Yun with a solemn expression and slowly nodded, replying, "According to historical records, when Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan was about to cause him to lose his sight, his younger brother, Izumi Uchiha, gave his own eyes to Madara Uchiha."

"Then the power of the pupils merged into one, and the patterns within them also merged into one. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan no longer needed to worry about declining vision. And its power..."

At this point, the Third Hokage asked Kumo, "You're already able to use the complete form of Susanoo, aren't you?"

Yun smiled and nodded: "Although I haven't used it yet, the connection with Susanoo has indeed undergone a qualitative change."

"And... I can feel the changes within my body, and they haven't stopped yet. Although the pace isn't fast, it's clear that these eyes aren't the end either."

As they spoke, Yun and Zhishui exchanged a glance.

Over the years, the two have maintained a basic understanding of each other.

The remnants of the Root surrounded his home, and he blocked the subsequent Fire Release and Wind Release ninjutsu with Earth Release: Wall. Clearly, Shisui couldn't have missed such a commotion.

Why did he only appear at the opportune moment, after the arrival of the fourth and third generations...?

This is clearly an attitude that Shisui wanted to express.

The stench of blood in the air couldn't possibly escape the notice of the fourth and third generations. With only three roots surrounding this place, they wouldn't think that Mitokado Yan would be so foolish.

Killing Uchiha Kumo, who was hiding the body from the Root, will not allow the village to manipulate him under the guise of righteousness.

However, Uchiha Shisui, who arrived later, held a certain weight in the village's position.

This is the attitude that Shisui wanted to express.

The information about the bloodline reversion to its ancestral form will undoubtedly enhance Yun's future power to an immeasurable degree.

For the sake of Konoha's future stability, both the Fourth and Third Hokage had no choice but to swallow this test and tacitly agree to it.

Yun smiled at the two Hokage and said, "Since it's almost dawn, perhaps you two could come with me to a place."

The fourth generation and the third generation exchanged a glance, then nodded.

Yun Chao smiled at Kakashi and said, "You also have a Mangekyou Sharingan, so perhaps you could take a look. However, with your eye power, you probably won't be able to see much."

With that, Yun nodded to Shisui, and then the two of them, along with the Fourth Hokage and the others, headed straight for the Uchiha's Naga Shrine.

……

Nanga Shrine.

In the underground passage, Yun said to the people behind him, "This is the Uchiha shrine. I've come here secretly a few times, so I have some guesses about the changes in my body."

Then Yun looked at Shisui and asked, "With your eyes, Shisui, you should be able to see something, right?"

Shisui nodded: "If it is that stone tablet, I can indeed decipher some information. That stone tablet was left by the Sage of Six Paths."

Six Paths... Immortals?

The name immediately made the Fourth and Third Hokage, who followed closely behind, tense up. As the two Hokage of Konoha, they naturally knew many things that ordinary people did not.

And the legendary figure, the Sage of Six Paths, they knew that legends were not just legends.

The Sage of Six Paths was a real historical figure.

Furthermore, he was the originator of the term "ninja," though at that time it was called Ninja Sect.

"What else is recorded on the stone tablet left behind by the Sage of Six Paths?"

The Third Hokage received no answer, for Shisui shook his head and said, "My eye power is insufficient; I cannot see the rest. All I know is that this is a stone tablet left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, and it contains the method to bring true peace to the world."

True peace?

The Fourth Hokage frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then looked at Yun, asking, "So, with Yun's eye power now, can you see everything?"

At this moment, the group had arrived in front of the legendary stone tablet.

Minato glanced at Kakashi beside him, his eyes conveying a hint of something.

After understanding, Kakashi reached out and lifted his headband, revealing the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eye sockets as he stared at the stone tablet in front of him.

Yun silently observed all of this, and this was the reason why Kakashi was brought here.

Only what Kakashi saw could convince the Fourth and Third Hokage. After all, they couldn't decipher what was recorded there.

If Yun repeats it, it's hard to say how much credibility he has.

"The contents of this stone tablet, especially the last thing, are beyond my deciphering even now. The kaleidoscope, the eternal kaleidoscope, and... the Rinnegan."

"Perhaps only the Rinnegan can fully decipher the inscription on this stone tablet?"

Yun smiled and looked at Kakashi, asking, "How much did you see?"

Kakashi shook his head slightly: "Not many."

This reply made Yun calm. He could only say that Kakashi was indeed capable of understanding the Fourth Hokage's implication in an instant, and that he had a trick up his sleeve to verify it later.

Yun spoke up, "A deity, in pursuit of stability, separated Yin and Yang into two poles. What I can see is the origin of the Uchiha and Senju clans."

"The Sage of Six Paths has two sons. The younger brother, Ashura, inherited the Sage's body, while the older brother, Indra, inherited the Sage's eyes."

As Yun spoke, he looked at Shisui and said, "In fact, Itachi had already found out in the documents that the name Indra was the ancestor of the Uchiha clan. What he didn't know was that Indra's father was the legendary Sage of Six Paths."

These words startled Shisui, who then asked, "What about Sasuke...?"

He didn't say the rest, but both the fourth and third generations looked at him.

After pondering for a moment, Shisui said, "Itachi made a deal with Uzumaki Sora. In exchange for the money, Itachi's younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, has the reincarnation of Indra's chakra within him."

Upon hearing this, both Minato and the Third Hokage were stunned.

Chakra reincarnation?

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm listening to a myth?

The Third Hokage looked at Minato and said in a low voice, "The Fourth Hokage needs to pay more attention to that child."

Minato nodded; he understood the meaning behind those words.

This involves a legendary figure like the Sage of Six Paths, and the reincarnation of a chakra being possessed by the Sage's Eyes, so it needs to be taken seriously no matter what.

If the Uchiha clan produces another fighter who surpasses the limits, then we must make sure that person stands on the village's side no matter what.

In this way, a certain degree of mutual restraint can be achieved.

"Wait, if Indra's chakra is inside Itachi's body, then where is Ashura's chakra? As for Senju..."

Yun shook her head slightly: "The inscription on the stone tablet records the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura's chakra. After all, it's the stone tablet of the Sage of Six Paths. He should have already passed away when his son died, right?"

These words left the fourth and third generations looking at each other in bewilderment. In their haste, they had overlooked such basic things.

The information about Indra's chakra reincarnation came from that vortex, not from this stone tablet.

The fourth generation paused for a moment, then asked, "Anything else?"

Yun nodded and said, "The information that can be deciphered further is no longer of much use. Indra firmly believes in the importance of power on the path to peace, while his brother Asura believes that mutual understanding and love can ensure the continuation of peace."

"And so... the war between brothers began."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato paused, stunned: "War?"

Yun nodded: "Yes, it is war. This part may sound absurd, but it is not hard to imagine when you consider the war between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan during the Warring States period."

"call……"

Minato exhaled. He did indeed know some things about the Warring States period from the records he kept after becoming Hokage.

As a child, he was the third generation who had just finished the Warring States period, and he was even more aware of the original mortal enemies between the Uchiha and Senju.

And then, thinking back to the battle at the Valley of the End...

The Third Hokage gave a wry smile: "The war between the Sage of Six Paths' two sons has actually continued into this era. A conflict between brothers, yet it can be described with the word 'war'."

There was a moment of silence.

After glancing at everyone, Yun returned his gaze to the stone tablet: "In conclusion, the records on this stone tablet explain the origins of the Uchiha clan's bloodline. Indra, who inherited the Sage's Eyes, had descendants in the Uchiha clan who possessed the Sharingan as a bloodline limit."

"And now, without any stimulation, the Sharingan has peacefully awakened to the Mangekyou Sharingan stage. And..."

As he finished speaking, Yun's gaze slightly focused.

"Whoosh!"

A massive surge of chakra instantly filled the entire underground space.

"Click!"

With a soft crack, the wooden planks on the steps split slightly.

The next moment, the clouds dispersed, and then he looked at the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze: "This chakra, perhaps the Hokage will have a familiar feeling."

Minato's gaze turned serious as he looked at Yun and asked, "Whirlpool?"

Yun nodded: "The Uzumaki clan's immense chakra seems to have manifested in my body as well. That is, the ancestral bloodline within me may not merely reach the level of my ancestor Indra..."

At this point, Yun looked at everyone and smiled: "Perhaps the ancestral bloodline within me is a transformation based on the Six Paths Sage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fourth Hokage, the Third Hokage, and Kakashi, who was standing to the side, were all stunned.

The Sage of Six Paths, a legendary figure. Could such a being, bestowed with the title of sage, be the end of Uchiha Kumo's power?

With such power, it's almost certain that he would surpass Madara Uchiha!

and many more!

The fourth generation looked at Yun and asked, "Is the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan also that of the Sage of Six Paths?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "The stone tablet does not record the origin of the Uzumaki clan's bloodline. Even the Uchiha and Senju clans are related because this stone tablet itself is an artifact passed down from the Uchiha clan."

At this moment, the Third Hokage spoke up, "Back in the Warring States period, the Senju and Uzumaki clans had a very close relationship. In fact, the Mito-sama whom Kushina once met was the wife of the First Hokage."

"The Uzumaki clan's physique is also very unique. Their powerful sensory abilities, vast chakra reserves, and ancient sealing techniques are all part of the Uzumaki clan's foundation. Perhaps..."

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, then looked up at Yun with a solemn expression: "Uchiha Yun, perhaps in the future you will possess power like the Sage of Six Paths, but with such power, will you protect this village?"

Yun looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and smiled after a moment.

"Third Hokage, what reason do you have for someone born and raised in Konoha not to protect their village?"

Yun then looked at the Fourth Hokage and said, "I believe that since my Mangekyou Sharingan awakened, the two Hokage must have gathered all my experiences and information. Do you really think someone as lazy as me, who even wants to stay in the Ninja Academy, truly likes this village?"

"Of course, being lazy doesn't mean being stupid. At first, I just wanted to survive. And now, I just want to live a better life."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly: "The Uchiha are also from Konoha. Shisui's ancestor, Uchiha Kagami, was a ninja who was willing to sacrifice himself for the village."

Yun shook her head slightly: "Perhaps the Third Generation Lord didn't understand what I meant. My goal all along has been simply to survive, and to live a better life. That's all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared straight at the clouds.

After a long while...

"call……"

Seemingly relieved, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the Fourth Hokage and said, "I'm just an old man. The current Hokage is not me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around, walked up the steps, and left without pausing.

Just like he said at the Hokage Building, at this moment, like Koharu Utatane, perhaps leaving the trust to the next generation is the truly correct choice.

The Third Hokage is already the previous Hokage; the current Hokage is the one who should truly be worried about these things.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, the scene became somewhat quiet for a moment.

After a short while, Minato suddenly smiled and looked at the three people present, saying, "No matter what, you are all Konoha ninjas now, and you are all the future of Konoha. We can only make decisions about the future after it happens."

"Leaving trust to the next generation is also my view. And Kumo is a hero of Konoha, now and I believe he will be in the future."

"Perhaps in the future... as long as Konoha can truly continue to grow stronger and protect this village, what difference will it make whether the Uchiha becomes Hokage or the Senju, Sarutobi, and Namikaze become Hokage?"

After saying this, Minato stepped forward and placed his hands on Shisui and Kumo's shoulders.

"I believe in you, so please protect this village we all share."

Kakashi, standing to the side, lowered his headband to cover the Sharingan, watching the scene unfold with a lazy smile.

He could understand what Yun had just said. On the battlefield against Kumogakure, Uchiha Yun was not the kind of person who would abandon his comrades just to survive.

Those words just now were only meant for the three generations to hear.

Just like her own father, that kind of situation would not happen to Yun.

……

As the morning light shone down, the villagers and ninjas of Konoha were still wondering about the commotion from the previous night, but it seemed as if nothing had happened at all.

Last night, after a violent explosion, the Hokage's direct ANBU took down many people in an instant, and the information they originally wanted to send out has now disappeared without a trace.

Hokage Building.

Minato looked at Kakashi beside him and asked, "How is it?"

Kakashi shrugged: "Except for the part where the two brothers don't get along, everything is true."

Kakashi then asked疑惑地问道, "Sensei, you should be very familiar with that chakra, right? The power of the Uzumaki clan should already prove it, shouldn't it?"

Minato stood up and smiled. "At this point, I'm naturally inclined to believe in the Cloud. But from the Hokage's perspective, I also have to ask you the question I just asked, understand?"

Kakashi sighed, "So the Hokage position is the most frustrating one, isn't it? My teacher has changed a lot over the years."

Has it changed a lot?

Minato sighed and looked out the window. Since becoming Hokage, he had gone from being clueless at the beginning to being quite adept at it now.

Everything comes down to my own political development.

Power is both a temptation and a responsibility. The Hokage's responsibility is to protect the entire village.

If they could have this kind of awareness, what's wrong with the Uchiha clan producing a Hokage?

A moment later, Kakashi spoke up, asking, "What should we do about our former advisor, Mitokado Homura?"

Minato thought for a moment and replied, "Let's lock him up in the Serious Crime Ninja Penitentiary. Although he was an advisor who made contributions alongside the Third Hokage, this incident has already threatened the safety of the village."

"We also need to involve the interrogation department and obtain a complete list of all the remaining Root ninjas."

……

In front of Mitokado Yan's mansion.

Kakashi sighed after standing there for a long time, then went inside.

When he saw his former advisor, his languid posture faltered slightly.

In just one day, this advisor, though old but still quite robust, has become a decaying old man about to enter the underworld.

"Kakashi?"

A deep, hoarse voice rang out, and Mitokado Homura slightly raised his head, his cloudy eyes fixed on Kakashi: "Since it was you who came here, then the plan must have failed? Is that right?"

Mitokado Homura smiled and said, "I underestimated the current Fourth Hokage, but it seems he is stronger than Hiruzen."

Kakashi didn't reply, but said directly, "Next, you'll be locked up in the Serious Crime Ninja Prison. Let's go."

Mitokado Yan walked out with a faint smile, without any hesitation.

"Losers should accept their punishment, but Kakashi, remember to pass on a message to Minato Namikaze for me."

Facing the incoming gaze, Mitokado Homura said, "The Uchiha clan, having regained power like Uchiha Madara, has transcended the mundane. With such power, no one can stop his evil. Konoha today will never have another Senju Hashirama."

"The Fourth Hokage will one day regret the decision he made today. Konoha will also be destroyed by the Uchiha."

These words made Kakashi frown, and at that moment he thought of his friend Obito.

Why is the Uchiha clan, who gathers in the village every day and is always late because they help old ladies cross the road, considered evil?

Just because of inherited will and one's own beliefs, does one think that all members of the Uchiha clan are evil?

Kakashi looked at Homura Mitokado and said, "Perhaps I can understand now why our teacher kept you alive. Perhaps letting you live to witness the future prosperity of Konoha would be the biggest blow to you."

……

The Sarutobi clan's territory, the home of the former Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Biwa Lake, brew another pot of tea."

Setting down the teapot, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe.

After exhaling a cloud of smoke, he looked at Koharu Utatane beside him and asked, "You didn't go either?"

Koharu shook her head: "That guy has been competitive since he was a child. If we go, we'll only embarrass him, won't we?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded without saying anything more, but unconsciously, he put his pipe into his mouth more frequently.

Smoke rose up, and after a while Biwako came over with a teapot, complained about the smoke, and turned to leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Koharu Utatane and smiled: "This kind of life isn't bad, is it? Without so many worries, leaving everything to the young people, this kind of life feels like a huge burden has been lifted off your shoulders."

Koharu Utatane smiled and replied, "Suddenly I've aged. It feels like just yesterday that you became Hokage, Hiruzen."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke: "Everyone gets old eventually. As the Third Hokage, I am indeed an unqualified Hokage."

"If they're unqualified, what excuse do you have to distrust them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaochun, who was turning around, understood the meaning behind her old friend's words.

Konoha's White Fang committed suicide for that reason, allowing Danzo's Root organization to be established and his students to conduct human experiments on the village's ninjas.

Although he did not personally commit these acts, as the Hokage, he cannot escape responsibility.

"Unqualified" is the label he put on himself, and it's also the reason he chose to give up at this point.

No matter how far Uchiha Yun goes, if there is no trust from the beginning, how can one believe that the other party will be loyal to Konoha?

Just like the Fourth Hokage, aren't the current Uchiha the Uchiha of Konoha?

(The storyline of the third generation will come to a complete end. Regarding the third generation's character in this book, some readers have said that I'm whitewashing the third generation. This flop author is really... so wronged! Waaaaah...)

(Kishimoto's setting book has a clear description, and as anyone who has watched Naruto knows, his words to Shisui and his remarks before the Uchiha clan's annihilation are clearly stated.)

(The Third Hokage is not portrayed as innocent in this book, because all the events occurred during his reign, and he is undeniably culpable and incompetent. This is also the Third Hokage's own self-evaluation after his impure existence.)

(But to say that this old man was so wicked that his ass was oozing pus, and that he was on the same level as Danzo, would be somewhat inappropriate, wouldn't it?)

(This humble author believes that writing fanfiction must respect the basic settings of the original work, and then fill in any gaps or inconsistencies. This is merely the personal opinion of this humble author, and I thank all the experts once again!)

Finally, thank you so much for the generous donation from God's Declaration! I am deeply grateful!

I am extremely grateful and overjoyed.

Thank you for the donation from God's Declaration. There will be another update, possibly after midnight. Anyway, I'm writing 10,000 words a day. This struggling author is begging for more subscriptions!
