Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 19 The Secret Techniques of the Aburame Clan

"Due to certain reasons, a certain family within the village had a falling out with the village. When Iwagakure learned of this, they attempted to launch a large-scale attack."

"Whether the intelligence is true or not is unknown, so we need you to verify it."

After Ryoma Aburame, who was behind Danzo, finished speaking, Nono clenched her fists on the other side.

He then replied, "You've got the wrong person. I'm just the director of this orphanage now."

Danzo frowned slightly: "You should be able to understand why the orphanage's funding hasn't been secured yet."

Ryoma Aburame's voice rang out again from behind: "The funds may be obtained sooner or later, after all, it was something the Fourth Hokage promised. But this place is rather remote. Are you planning to hire some ninjas for protection? To prevent the money from being stolen, or those children…"

Orochimaru continued, "Children of unknown origin have value, and I need them..."

The rest of the words were left unsaid, but Nono already understood what the other person meant.

I had no choice but to agree...

Perhaps I can find another way to raise the money, but the children in the orphanage...

Nono, who was once an elite member of Root, knew very well how Root used orphans.

Yes, it's about the methods of exploitation. Whether brainwashed and turned into weapons of war or used directly for human experimentation, it's hell for children.

"Phew... I understand."

When the other party holds your weakness in their hands, then surrender comes so quickly.

Danzo's eyes flickered slightly, and Orochimaru behind him smiled.

"This intelligence report cost me one of my men, so I need to take a child from you this time..."

"No!"

Before she could finish speaking, Nono stood up and firmly refused. The children in the orphanage were her weakness, but they were also the pillars that helped her turn from darkness to light.

……

Outside, Dou clenched his fists, as if he were making some kind of decision.

"Snapped!"

The sudden pat on his shoulder nearly scared him to death. When he turned around, he found it was the red-haired older brother who had treated him to barbecue a few days ago.

"you……"

Kong chuckled and replied, "You want to rush in and agree? Then do you even know what they mean by 'root'?"

Dou shook his head: "I just didn't want the dean to be upset. As for me... it's nothing."

Kong looked into the room, and a dark shadow suddenly grew larger.

"Go wait for me."

He pushed the bag out with a wave of his hand, and then slashed horizontally with the long sword in his hand.

"Bang!!"

"Whoosh!"

The wooden door was smashed to pieces, but the lurking snake hand that burst forth was also severed horizontally.

The power is becoming somewhat difficult to control.

Sheathing his longsword, Kong frowned slightly. The surge in his vitality and physical abilities had made his speed, strength, and chakra vastly different from before.

But along with this came a sharp drop in the control that had become so accustomed to.

Uh...did I break Dou's shoulder just now?

"Red hair, Uzumaki clan? You're not a Konoha ninja. Looks like I'll soon have another great subject for my lab."

Orochimaru licked his lips with his scarlet tongue, as if he were facing a delicious treat.

"Seriously, you're absolutely disgusting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his hands simultaneously and threw out eight Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja tool pouch.

Although the accuracy wasn't great, at least two of them went straight for the enemy, while the other six landed in different directions.

"Such poor accuracy reminds me of the ninjutsu of a certain white-haired guy."

Just as Orochimaru was about to casually block, the three-word technique on the approaching kunai caused the snake pupils in his eye sockets to shrink rapidly.

"Flying Thunder God!"

Amidst cries of alarm, a kunai pierced his heart from behind.

"puff!"

"You guessed right, Orochimaru."

Sora's voice rang out from behind Orochimaru's ear, but the next moment...

Orochimaru, who had his heart pierced, felt no pain whatsoever. He even immediately turned his head, softening his elongated neck so that his head could be placed behind Sora.

"Whoosh!"

The Kusanagi sword, which emerged from Orochimaru's mouth, pierced directly into the back of Orochimaru's neck, followed by a horizontal slash.

"puff."

A plume of smoke rose up; it was a shadow clone.

"Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, you have never been my target."

He flashed behind Danzo and stabbed down with a kunai in an instant.

"Bang!"

The kunai was blocked by the long sword. Sora looked at Aburame Ryoma, who was blocking his way, and said, "From the beginning, your attention was not on me, but on Danzo's surroundings. You are truly loyal."

Ryoma Aburame remained expressionless and calmly replied, "Root's mission is to protect Lord Danzo. The Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique is fast, but it's only about speed."

"Buzzing..."

Numerous black insects flew out from its body, like a black mist, enveloping the sky.

"Whoosh!"

Sora, who flashed back to avoid the parasitic insects, chuckled: "No, it's that you have no idea how terrifying the Flying Thunder God Technique is."

"Bang!"

A flame burned and attached itself to the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and Ku suddenly shot it toward Danzo.

"Bang!"

The first flaming Flying Thunder God kunai had barely been deflected when the second was already upon it, and the third followed closely behind.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Sora appeared behind Ryoma Aburame, and the next moment, his kunai cleaved him in two.

"puff!"

"Buzzing..."

A large number of black insects rose into the air; those were insect clones.

"Uzumaki-kun, what makes you think that a single Flying Thunder God technique can defeat me?"

With a chilling voice, Orochimaru stretched out his hand and several large snakes rushed out, coiling around the air.

"Whoosh!"

The void that had vanished after the flash suddenly reappeared behind Aburame Ryoma, who had just appeared. This time, it was his true form.

"Snapped!"

An arm was severed from the shoulder, blood gushing out, but Kong frowned.

As a member of Root, Aburame Ryoma has considerable combat experience, and that attack just now seemed to be a conscious physical contact from the opponent.

"call……"

The pain of losing his arm caused Ryoma Aburame to break out in a cold sweat, but compared to Obito, this guy's pain receptors seemed to be non-existent.

"I think it's a very good deal to keep you at the cost of an arm."

Ryoma Aburame continued expressionlessly, "The power of space-time ninjutsu is undeniable. The reason you dared to attack us is probably because you can leave at any time, right?"

"Leaving spells behind in other places, and then leaving as soon as things become unbearable, that should be your greatest asset."

Kong paused slightly, feeling the pulsation within her body.

This is……

Ryoma Aburame, who had been staring intently at the sky, said upon seeing this, "The Parasitic Insect has begun to devour your chakra, and it will rapidly expand and multiply until..."

There's no need to say more. As members of the Aburame clan, who possess secret techniques in Konoha, they undeniably have the ability to change the course of a battle.

……

(Note: The timeline here is actually a bit messy because the part where Danzo forces the orphanage to commit crimes could actually have happened during the Third Shinobi World War, since Aburame Ryoma said: "A large-scale attack might be launched during the war." So I changed that sentence, using the Uchiha's actions as the trigger. Think of it as the butterfly effect.)

Begging for votes!
