Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 196 Feeling like the cabbage is about to be eaten by a pig (22) 4400

Looking at the Minato father and son who were teaching him the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, he realized that this forbidden technique was not avoiding him.

Yun read it once and memorized the forbidden technique.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, in the original story I remember, was practically a cheat code for cultivation.

But it seems that in the entire story, only Naruto can use it as a cheat code.

It's not explicitly stated whether Hashirama Senju could do it; besides the amount of chakra, it seems there's also a requirement for willpower. After all, it takes willpower to avoid being overwhelmed by a deluge of information.

He shook his head slightly. For him now, even if he could withstand it, this technique didn't seem to be very effective.

At this moment, Naruto, who had previously been taught the Shadow Clone Technique by Itachi, had already understood Minato's explanation.

Then, his hands formed a mudra.

"Bang!"

After a puff of smoke, five clones appeared beside Naruto.

This scene not only stunned Minato, but also left Yun on the other side momentarily bewildered.

Before this, Yun believed that Naruto was able to learn a Wind Release ninjutsu and Shadow Clone Technique in his second year of school because the Nine-Tails was not interfering with him at that time.

And now...

Leaving aside the forbidden techniques, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, despite having few hand seals, is a genuine A-rank ninjutsu in terms of difficulty.

In this situation, being able to learn it in such a short time is enough to prove that he has a very high talent.

"Hahaha!"

At that moment, Naruto's maniacal laughter rang out, and then six Narutos simultaneously clenched their fists and said, "I actually have five clones now! When Iruka-sensei goes to school the day after tomorrow, he'll definitely be stunned!"

Yun walked up to Minato and said with a smile, "How come he didn't inherit any of the Hokage's personality? But it's good that he has motivation."

Minato chuckled awkwardly, then said to Naruto, "Next, have your five clones, along with your main body, run laps around the training ground."

"ah?!"

Naruto looked up in confusion: "Why are we running in circles? Shouldn't we be experimenting with more Shadow Clones next?"

Minato shook his head and replied, "The experiences of the shadow clones will be returned to the original body after they dissipate. Simply shouting a couple of times doesn't prove that you can withstand more shadow clones."

Convinced, Naruto pouted and then yelled for all his shadow clones to start running in circles.

Why run laps?

"We are shadow clones, and running laps won't train our physical skills."

"That's right, the main body can run on its own, let's rest."

"Don't talk, Dad's looking over here."

"And Brother Yun, he'll get beaten up."

"If you're going to run, then run! Don't block my way!"

"You bastard! Why did you push me?"

"Want to fight?"

"Come on, who's afraid of who!"

"Bang bang bang..."

In an instant, the battle between the five shadow clones and the original body began.

This scene left Tokuma and his two companions, who were still training nearby, somewhat bewildered.

Shadow clones... can even fight each other?

Minato's eye twitched at that moment. He exhaled and reminded Naruto, "Naruto, you can undo this technique."

As soon as he finished speaking, in the scene of the brawl, Naruto struggled to release his ninjutsu.

Naruto, his face bruised and swollen, collapsed to the ground, scratching his head and asking, "Why were they fighting?"

Yun, standing nearby, chimed in, "Normally, it's because your chakra control wasn't up to par when you released the Shadow Clone Jutsu. Although you successfully unleashed the ninjutsu, this situation is quite comical."

Minato sighed and said, "You must remember the important points about this technique, because if the shadow clones get confused, the technique won't be very effective."

Yun, who was standing to the side, also pondered for a moment. Was it because he was still young?

Come to think of it, Naruto also had moments of disarray with his Shadow Clone Jutsu, but the first time he used it against Mizuki...

No, when fighting Mizuki, it was a 2,000-shot burst, with only one command: punch and kick, after which they all dissipated.

Moreover, Naruto's will was probably at its strongest under those circumstances.

After a long while, Naruto, having regained his composure, once again used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

This time, although they were all talking over each other, they still managed to run around the training field in a fairly orderly fashion.

Minato returned to Yun's side, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Yun."

Yun shook her head slightly: "After all, it's an A-level difficulty ninjutsu. The fact that Naruto could learn it so easily is enough to prove his talent. But speaking of which... it's already exceeded his limit."

Minato nodded and looked at Naruto, who had run two laps.

The ten shadow clones fought each other for the first time and then dissipated. Naruto was only bruised and battered, but his mental state was normal.

The second time, there were five, and they hadn't dissipated after two laps. But once these shadow clones dissipated on their own, they had already exceeded Naruto's limits at that age.

At this moment, Yun looked in a direction outside the training field, and after thinking for a moment, looked at Minato beside him.

Minato, who witnessed this, laughed awkwardly: "Kushina, this is really quite rude of you."

Yun smiled, glanced at Tokuma who had resumed training not far away, and then said, "The Hokage-sama must have heard about it too, right?"

After a pause, Yun continued, "The eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main family was sent to the Ninja Academy, while Hanabi, the second daughter of the main family's Hiashi, remained in the clan compound to receive her education."

"I'm sure the Hokage understands what this means. Of course, the succession of the main branch is a matter for the Hyuga clan themselves, and it's none of the Uchiha's business to concern themselves with it."

"But if what Uzumaki Sora said about the future is true, then perhaps I should remind the Hokage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato frowned slightly.

He understood the meaning behind Yun's words perfectly.

The conflict between the Hyuga main family and the branch family has a long history. When Hinata was forcibly abducted by Kumogakure, the elders of the main family demanded that Hizashi pay with his life.

If it weren't for the Hiashi and Uchiha clans back then, perhaps...

If Hinata Hyuga is indeed going to be Naruto's wife in the future, then as the eldest daughter who has already been abandoned by Hiashi, she will inevitably be separated from the family.

In this way...

That so-called bird in a cage...

Glancing at Minato's expression beside him, Yun continued, "If we do the math, Hinata Hyuga, who was in the same class as Naruto, should be about eight years old now, right? At that age, she wasn't branded a caged bird, but instead, she was sent to the Ninja Academy..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato suddenly looked up, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Yun and said, "Back then, when Hiashi was forced to die in someone else's place, Hiashi's attitude at that time already explained some things."

"Now that things have come to this, perhaps there was some calculation involved in all of this. With Hinata placed in the Ninja Academy and the main branch heir remaining uncertain, is he also stalling for time?"

Yun shrugged: "The method by which the Hyuga clan's main family and branch family are chosen has always been a mystery, but if the Hokage is willing, perhaps this generation can resolve this unfair situation?"

"call……"

Minato exhaled and said with a wry smile, "Being the Hokage doesn't mean you can decide everything with a single word. This is an internal matter of the Hyuga clan, and the Hokage has no reason to interfere."

Yun nodded, smiled, and said, "If this old law cannot be changed when both the Hokage and the head of the Hyuga clan oppose it, then the attitude of the next head of the clan may be uncertain."

Despite his relaxed tone, Minato's gaze suddenly turned serious.

The old rules of the Hyuga clan might not have had much to do with him before, but if Hinata Hyuga were to become his daughter-in-law in the future...

Neither Kushina nor I would allow her to be branded with the Caged Bird Seal!

In that case, the relationship becomes very important...

As Minato pondered, he suddenly noticed three people sparring not far away. Apart from Yun's sister, the other two children seemed to be from the Hyuga branch family.

In an instant, information about the two men's identities flashed through Minato's mind.

Hyuga Tokuma, hailed as a genius of the Hyuga branch family, possesses a powerful Byakugan, but his brilliance was overshadowed by Yun and Itachi during his time at the academy.

Hyuga Neji, Naruto's previous genius student, is also Hizashi's son.

Thinking of this, Minato looked at Yun and smiled, asking, "Is it for these two students?"

Seeing that Minato had already guessed, Yun smiled and replied, "It's not just about them, or rather, it's for the stability of the village. Unreasonable old laws should naturally be discarded. Although the caged bird did indeed prevent the loss of the white eye, there are other ways to achieve this."

"The Byakugan, one of the three great dojutsu of ninjas, may not be so simple. And if a genius emerges from the branch family and the Caged Bird Seal is broken, then the Hyuga clan will face a disaster."

"If this goes further, it will also be a disaster for Konoha."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Isn't this... a bit too far-fetched?"

"hiss……"

A sudden wave of discomfort in her eye socket made Yun gasp for breath, and then she placed a hand on her eye.

Is it the convergence of Ashura's and Indra's chakra? The power of all things in the universe is being born, but it seems to be much faster than Madara's.

Minato, who was standing nearby, suddenly covered his eyes with one hand and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

After a while, Yun, whose discomfort in her eyes had subsided, raised her head slightly, and her pupils, which were surrounded by a cross and a six-pointed star, began to slowly rotate.

"It's alright. These eyes seem to be evolving due to the issue of bloodline atavism. However... this time it seems like it will take a long time."

Minato paused, stunned. "After the Eternal Eyes, will there be further advancements? Could it be...?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "I don't know. I've always passively accepted the changes in my body. What the Hokage wants to ask about is probably the legendary Rinnegan, right?"

Minato nodded: "After all, the Uchiha's ancestor Indra was the son of the Sage of Six Paths, a fact I had previously confirmed."

Yun smiled and replied, "Of the three great eye powers, perhaps the Byakugan isn't out of the question..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato glanced at Yun.

Does the Byakugan truly possess additional potential, just like the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan?

If that's the case, perhaps the village should also consider planning for the Hyuga clan's main family to split up.

……

Meanwhile, outside the seventh training field.

Hinata, hiding behind a tree, clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on Naruto, who was training hard in the training field.

Because of Naruto's actions yesterday, Hinata couldn't sleep most of the night after returning home.

Although he doesn't know what love is, Naruto says he wants to protect himself, and he works so hard at it.

I certainly can't fall behind!

Thinking of this, Hinata prepared to leave and go back to continue her training.

However, at that moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

"Are you Hinata?"

In an instant, Hinata, who was already in a tense state, was startled and almost fell over.

Fortunately, Kushina grabbed her arm, then glanced at Naruto running laps in the training field and asked with a smile, "Is Hinata watching Naruto?"

Hinata nodded gently, then said softly, "Naruto-kun worked very hard. He told me to resist and to be strong. So..."

Is that so?

Kushina smiled and reached out to ruffle Hinata's hair: "Is it Naruto's actions that gave you confidence? If so, I, as his mother, am also proud of him."

"Mother?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Hinata's murmured voice rang out.

This sound startled Kushina for a moment.

Should I agree or disagree?

Although I knew it was a voice of doubt, it made me feel for a moment as if I really had a daughter-in-law.

Kushina smiled and then joked, "If you really start calling me 'Mom' in the future, then I'll agree to it."

"what?"

Hinata looked up in surprise, then paused for a moment before her face flushed red.

Just now, I...

Kushina looked at Hinata and said, "You're welcome to visit our home sometime. If Naruto has caused you any trouble, I apologize on his behalf."

Hinata shook her head repeatedly and replied hastily, "No, Auntie, it won't bother you."

Hinata paused for a moment, then said softly, "Because before, some people would say I was a monster because of my eyes, and at that time, Naruto-kun appeared and drove them away. Naruto-kun said... he would take me home from now on..."

A monster with white eyes?

Whose child is this? They speak so rudely!

At this moment, Kushina recalled her childhood experience of being bullied because of Shanks.

However, given this child's personality, he probably won't fight back, right? It's fortunate that Naruto is here, otherwise just thinking about it makes me angry.

At this moment, Kushina glanced at Naruto and thought to herself with a smug smile, "As expected of my son, he's already brought home a daughter-in-law at such a young age."

At this moment, Hinata looked up at Kushina with concern and asked softly, "Auntie...does she disagree?"

Kushina snapped out of her daze for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Of course not, helping a classmate is the right thing to do. From now on, Naruto will take you home. You two, work hard together..."

Hinata nodded solemnly, then placed her hands on her knees and bowed, saying, "Auntie, I need to go back to training now. Thank you, Auntie..."

Kushina chuckled softly as she watched Hinata's departing figure.

What a polite child...

Compared to Naruto...

Kushina frowned.

……

At the same time, Neji on the training field was struck by Tokuma's palm, and his chakra meridians were instantly blocked.

For a moment, the three of them stopped fighting.

Tokuma looked at Neji and asked, "Why are you suddenly spacing out?"

Neji looked out at the training ground in the distance. Was that Hinata-sama just now?

Then his gaze fell on Naruto, who was running laps, and a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Izumi's Sharingan, which was still open, glanced at Naruto over there and couldn't help but exclaim, "I really envy the Uzumaki clan's chakra, and that shadow clone technique, it must have completed ten rotations by now, right?"

Neji scoffed, "Does the Hokage's son need Lord Yun to look after him?"

Izumi paused for a moment, then looked at Tokuma and teased in a low voice, "Are you jealous?"

Tokuma shook his head, then thought of the figure he had just seen rolling his eyes at, and replied after a moment's thought, "Maybe it's because he feels his own cabbage is about to be eaten by a pig, so he feels uncomfortable seeing this pig?"

This piqued Izumi's curiosity, so he immediately took Tokuma aside during the break to inquire about the gossip.

Meanwhile, Neji, whose chakra flow was disrupted, was left unattended for the time being.
