Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 202 The First Successful Application of Talent Persuasion (22) Four Thousand

"Give in? Did I give in?"

The little Nine-Tailed Fox on Kumo's shoulder immediately became unhappy, jumped down, and said to Shukaku, "Which eye of yours saw me submit? Was I controlled? Was I sealed?"

"My status in Konoha is top-notch now. Even the Hokage's son is my underling! Can you believe that if I asked him to catch fish, he wouldn't dare to catch chickens?"

"Do you know the Hokage? That guy who used Wood Release, you were captured at the very beginning of the Land of Wind, so you probably don't know. He's the most powerful person among the Five Great Nations!"

As it spoke, the Nine-Tails leaped onto Yun's shoulder again, its nine tails wrapping around Yun's neck: "Do you know who this is? He's probably the strongest in the ninja world right now, my brother!"

Then Kurama pointed its claw at Shukaku: "So, you think I've submitted? Your status in Sunagakure is higher than mine. You're just a weapon at best. Believe me, I can go out and say a word, and that Kage of Sunagakure will hand you over to me to play with as I please. I can even slap you twice with my big kukri whenever I want!"

His speech left Shukaku speechless.

Even Yun's eye twitched involuntarily: "You don't learn anything else, so how come you remember these sarcastic remarks so clearly?"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "I think talking like that is very imposing! I'll slap you twice with my big chins, see? Isn't that awesome?"

Suddenly, Yun felt that the Nine-Tailed Fox seemed to have undergone a sudden change in style after being influenced by him for nearly a year.

At that moment, Shukaku on the other side suddenly fell silent. He neither flew into a rage nor uttered a word in retort.

After a moment, Shukaku spoke, "Is that so? It seems you've found a human you can trust..."

As he spoke, Shukaku recalled the monk from his memories, the one who endured the darkness day after day, yet still wanted to give himself light.

Will someone with qualities like the Sage of Six Paths ever appear again?

Yun, who was standing to the side, looked at Shouhe and said, "The purpose of my visit is to have a talk with you."

Shukaku's gaze sharpened slightly as his thoughts were interrupted: "What are you talking about? Don't think that just because that stupid fox Kurama agrees with you, I'll treat you differently!"

Yun shook her head slightly: "Talking is on the premise that you agree, but if we can't reach an agreement, I don't mind using the power of these eyes to control you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Eternal Kaleidoscope, with a six-pointed star enveloping a cross, appeared in the darkness. Under such eye power, Shukaku couldn't help but take a step back.

It's already close to the power of the Six Paths Elder. How could such eyes possibly exist in this era?

Shukaku stared intently at the clouds, but dared not make a move, for it had no chance of winning.

At this moment, Yun continued, "Contain your power and do not disturb this child's rest. This... is what I want to discuss with you."

"Hehehe..."

A sharp laugh rang out, and Shukaku looked at Yun and said, "Are you concerned about this child? Do you know how many people this brat killed using my power when he went berserk?"

"Only blood can calm him down now. Even his brother and sister only feel fear towards him, not love..."

"You actually think this little devil is just a child, and you even care about his rest? Ridiculous... utterly laughable!"

Uchiha Yun shook his head slightly: "You don't need to say anything else. I just need you to agree to this. Otherwise, I'll have to use the Sharingan's genjutsu to control you."

Shukaku paused for a moment, then said, "Even if I agree now, how can you be sure I won't go back on my word? Isn't deception commonplace for you humans?"

Yun Moran replied, "I'm not sure if you'll break your promise, but surely someone who has always looked down on humans wouldn't be less trustworthy than a human, would they?"

"In fact, it would be very simple to ensure that you can no longer disturb this child's rest. Whether I leave behind a chakra to monitor him, or reinforce this seal, or even directly control you, these methods would all achieve the goal, but I simply do not wish to."

As he spoke, Yun looked directly at Shukaku and said, "In my understanding, the idea that tailed beasts, like the Uchiha clan, are born evil is incorrect. So Shukaku, perhaps you can try to guide them."

guide?

Shukaku was stunned; this word had never appeared in its mind before.

To guide a human being while being a tailed beast?

Yun Moran said, "As your human sacrifice, he seems to have been burdened with a lot of darkness while still just a child. But isn't that precisely why he's so young and yet so suitable?"

Upon hearing this, scenes from Gaara's past appeared in Shukaku's consciousness.

The power that woman left behind, a power that even she herself marveled at...

If she knew her son would turn out like this, would she regret it? Would she hate him?

At the same time, an old monk clasped his hands together, and the heart on his palms merged with the character for "receiver," gradually forming the character for "love."

Finally, the figure of the old man Liudao appeared...

"Hehehe..."

"Well... I'll agree. But if one day this brat is truly about to fall into darkness, then I won't waste this opportunity!"

Yun nodded, then smiled and left the sealed place with the Nine-Tailed Fox.

……

In reality, Yun slowly stood up and said to Luo Sha, "Starting today, this child should be able to sleep normally. However, if he falls into darkness again, the tailed beast will completely take over his body."

Luo Sha was stunned for a moment, and though he thought to himself, "What a busybody!" he couldn't bring himself to say it.

The meeting then continued.

But the power that Yun had just used to suppress Shukaku with a single glance once again made everyone somewhat distracted.

At this moment, Yun ignored the nonsensical meeting and indifferently considered the power she had just exerted.

Talent is persuasion.

This power, derived from Naruto's memories, requires persuasion from a righteous standpoint, and the prerequisite is defeating the opponent first.

Since Shukaku had been glared at by his own Sharingan eye technique, this was naturally considered a defeat.

Given Shukaku's personality, it's impossible for him to be persuaded so easily. And the Nine-Tails, such a drastic change might also be due to this talent.

Yun glanced at Luo Sha out of the corner of her eye at that moment, and that single glance made Luo Sha sit up straight instantly.

Such a person is absolutely unfit to be the future leader of Sunagakure.

If Orochimaru hadn't killed him, Uzumaki Sora would have inevitably eliminated him as the Kazekage. At that point, the seed I planted in Gaara's heart today would have taken effect.

The old guard, filled with hatred and contradictions, knew that putting a new generation who could support them into power was part of the plan.

Thinking of this, Yun Wei looked up at the two people from Yunyin opposite her.

The previous war with Kumogakure must have left these two with a grudge. Killer Bee, a fellow card player…

So, is clearing them out the only option?

……

Two hours later, the discussion about the Chunin Exams was also completed while everyone was distracted.

Subsequently, the four great ninja villages followed the cloud into the border of the Land of Fire.

After nightfall, the convoy had no choice but to rest in a town in the Land of Fire and head to Konoha Village the next day.

That very night, as soon as the people from each village arrived at the inn, they quickly returned to their rooms and activated their sensory barriers.

Yun smiled as she paid the bill with public funds, and the little nine-tailed fox on her shoulder shared the same expression.

"Why are they in such a hurry to hold a small meeting to discuss the intelligence they just gained? I really don't know what their purpose is. They can't win in battle anyway, so what's the point of discussing it?"

Yun reached out and tapped the little nine-tailed fox on the forehead: "If you keep imitating me, you'll probably only become a sarcastic fox in the future."

The little nine-tailed fox rubbed its forehead, annoyed, and said, "I didn't even complain about the fox, why did you hit me?!"

Yun smiled but didn't reply. After taking the change, she went back to her room with Xiao Jiuwei.

at the same time……

In the room where the Tsuchikage Ōnoki of Iwagakure was resting, the old but still vigorous Ōnoki was staring blankly out the window.

Seeing this, Huang Tu asked in a deep voice, "Old man, are you still wondering about Uzumaki Sora's identity?"

Onoki nodded: "Space-time ninjutsu isn't something just anyone can learn. That kind of power requires an extraordinary talent in space-time ninjutsu."

"The Fourth Hokage traded away the Flying Thunder God Technique, but that doesn't mean the other party can learn it immediately. Rather, their reaction is probably no less impressive than that of the Fourth Hokage."

"In this situation, whether Uzumaki Sora belongs to Konoha needs to be carefully considered."

Huang Tu, standing to the side, asked doubtfully, "Then... can such a talent as reaction be traded? Perhaps that intelligence-gathering ability is also a special kind of trading ability?"

Onoki shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but as things stand now, we may not know as much about Uzumaki Sora as Konoha does."

"Why……"

Huang Tu sighed and then said, "Actually, regardless of whether Uzumaki Sora belongs to Konoha or not, Iwagakure has no way to unite the four great ninja villages to fight against him."

Onoki remained indifferent; he knew very well that Huang Tu was right.

But on what grounds?!

How is it possible that after all these years, Konoha has regained such power?!

……

Meanwhile, in the room of the Hidden Mist.

"Blue."

Mei Terumi's voice rang out, and then Ao's Byakugan suddenly opened within her eyepatch. After looking around, she said, "There was no one spying on us. With the perception barrier in place, no one could eavesdrop without being detected."

Mei Terumi nodded, then gave a wry smile: "Did the guys from the other three ninja villages also activate their sensory barriers?"

Qing Mo nodded indifferently: "After all, the power we saw today was beyond everyone's expectations. Before, when Uchiha Yun was here, no one would discuss the intelligence analysis in depth. Now, I suppose everyone is just like us."

Mei Terumi rubbed her forehead with both hands: "At this moment, I suddenly feel that perhaps the Mizukage's decision to close off the village was the right thing to do."

Qing shook her head slightly and said, "Even you were that shocked by those two people?"

Mei Terumi replied, "That kind of power, with Kirigakure currently facing a generational extinction, could they possibly resist it? Perhaps Uchiha Kumo alone could cause Kirigakure to completely collapse?"

After a moment of silence, Mei Terumi shook her head, trying to shake off these negative emotions.

He then said, "The first point in this intelligence summary is that Uzumaki Sora knows specific information about the missing Mizukage. We can discuss this with Akatsuki on the black market later."

"The second point is the guy who appeared in the projector, with the vortex mask and a single Sharingan. This person is the culprit who manipulated the Fourth Mizukage and caused a series of tragedies in Kirigakure."

Ao nodded: "Given the intensity of the battle at the Sea of ​​Ending, and the fact that Uzumaki Sora was resurrected after being killed, it shouldn't be his clone."

Terumi pondered for a moment: "However, from the perspective of the other party and the photographer, this person should also belong to the Akatsuki organization, and should be an Akatsuki member protecting Iwagakure."

Qing's gaze narrowed slightly: "If we're facing the Knowing, it's not much different from facing Konoha right now. We have no chance of winning either."

Mei Terumi did not refute this statement, which was almost a display of self-awareness.

After a long silence, he said, "Gather all the intelligence and send it back to Master Yuan for his decision."

Nodding, Ao then said, "We probably know the source of information about Juzo Biwa now. He belongs to the same organization as Sora Uzumaki and that masked man. We need his information now."

Mei Terumi said, "Regarding whether Uzumaki Sora belongs to Konoha, I'm afraid Juzo Biwa could also be of help. But we've lost contact with him. We must re-establish that connection as soon as possible."

Qing replied, "The abandoned contact point has been reopened, but no more information has come from Pipa Juzo. It seems we have no choice but to risk sending someone to make contact."

……

"Bang!!"

In his room, where he was all alone, Luo Sha smashed the table in front of him with a single punch.

He did not consult with anyone because he never trusted anyone.

Especially today, in the conference hall, everyone's secrets were laid bare in front of everyone by that vortex of emptiness.

This even includes the matter of Yekura.

This matter was a secret known only to him.

He ordered Yekura to go to Amegakure to discuss an alliance, but in reality, he was handing Yekura over to Kirigakure to kill in revenge.

Only in this way can we ensure that Wuyin will not make a move in that situation.

All of this is for Sunagakure!

At this moment, Luo Sha felt no remorse whatsoever; all he felt was worry about how to continue burying this matter.

Maki... must die!

Only the dead can truly put my mind at ease!

No one can shake my position as Kazekage. Everything I do is for the village, so that the village can become strong!

Gaara...

At that moment, Gaara's image suddenly appeared in my mind.

As a Jinchūriki, it's quite normal for him to kill Maki, a Jonin, when he goes berserk, right?

……

Finished at 3 PM, will post in the morning as scheduled. Everyone, this struggling author's cultivation is over, time for bed.
