Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 214 A Battle of Acting Skills (1/3)

One month later, in Konoha, at the Uchiha clan's territory.

Because the third exam is tomorrow, everyone in Uchiha Yun's family went to bed early at his mother's request.

Even the Nine-Tails, which had been running around outside all day, was dragged back by Uchiha Hazuki.

In response, Little Nine-Tails stated that the most terrifying person in this household is not Uchiha Cloud, but Uchiha Hazuki, who gets angry on rare occasions.

Under the cover of night, a dark figure emerged from the ground.

However, it only just appeared...

On the sofa in the living room, the little nine-tailed fox, who had been lying there pretending to sleep, suddenly opened its eyes.

For a moment, Black Zetsu and Kurama stared at each other wide-eyed.

"What the hell are you?"

As the little nine-tailed fox spoke, it leaped up and slapped the other side with its claw.

However, in an instant, Black Zetsu sank into the ground to avoid the attack, with only his head remaining outside: "I didn't expect that even a split version could possess such sensory abilities..."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox tilted its head and replied, "It's like a fly on dung, buzzing incessantly, and it looks like a piece of charcoal, so conspicuous..."

Black Zetsu ignored the cursing Nine-Tails, glanced upstairs, and then slowly sank into the ground.

At that moment, Yun, who had opened her eyes as soon as Black Zetsu appeared, thought for a moment and then got up and went downstairs.

After making a shushing gesture, the little nine-tailed fox, who was just about to boast, was silenced.

Until Yun walked over and asked, "Has someone come in?"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox nodded: "Young Master Yun, your perception barrier is completely useless. If it weren't for me, our home would have been raided sooner or later."

Yun smiled and flicked the little nine-tailed fox's forehead: "You haven't learned anything else, but you remember this catchy phrase perfectly."

As Yun spoke, he looked at the ground...

Black Zetsu?

Do you want to take direct action against Izumi?

That kind of guy wouldn't use such a low-tech method.

So...

This is probably to ensure that Izumi can pass the third exam tomorrow.

The information came from the clone's side; they knew everything about the other party even before they had taken any action.

After smiling, Yun put on an overcoat and said to Little Nine-Tailed Fox, "Watch the house carefully, I'm going out for a bit."

As he spoke, Yun left behind a shadow clone, and then his main body left and headed towards the commercial street.

……

Meanwhile, the commercial street.

Within the vortex of distorted space, Obito, wearing a mask, appeared out of thin air on the rooftop.

"What do you want to do so late?"

The sudden sound made Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan shrink back, and he immediately turned to look behind him.

"Uchiha... Cloud..."

Yun nodded slightly, then asked, "Is the Mangekyou Sharingan's ability the space-time type like the one we just discussed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Whoosh!"

The kunai sliced ​​across his neck, yet it was as if it were cutting through the air, without any resistance.

Obito indifferently stretched out his hand and pressed it towards Uchiha Un.

"Whoosh!"

The cloud, which had vanished into thin air in an instant, reappeared opposite Obito. After pondering for a moment, it said, "The ability to transfer one's physical form to another dimension? The hand that just pressed down didn't have any sharp weapons. Judging from this, it seems it could also suck enemies into another dimension?"

Obito's gaze sharpened slightly at that moment.

After only one exchange, he had a preliminary idea of ​​his own abilities.

And... what the other party said was all correct.

"Uchiha junior, I am not your enemy."

Yun smiled and replied, "A stranger wearing a mask coming to Konoha should look like an enemy no matter how you look at it. As for the Uchiha... there is no Uchiha clan in Konoha who can be called yours."

Obito shook his head slightly: "The Uchiha clan should still have records of me... if you are lucky enough to see them."

Yun smiled at the defiant reply.

At that moment, a black figure slowly rose from the rooftop.

"Onoki has woken up."

Obito's gaze sharpened slightly at Black Zetsu's words. After glancing at Uchiha Un, he and Black Zetsu headed out of Konoha Village.

The way it left, without using its body or sinking underground, was clearly intended to let the clouds follow.

Yun did not disappoint the two, and immediately followed them in a flash.

……

"Grandpa, aren't we going to follow them?"

Onoki glanced at the departing figure in the distance: "The black outfit with red clouds... it's Akatsuki."

Huang Tu asked疑惑地, "If it's Akatsuki, shouldn't we follow them and see what's going on? The relationship between Uzumaki Sora and Konoha, and the relationship between Akatsuki and Konoha..."

Onoki shook his head slightly: "That guy wearing a mask and Akatsuki uniform should be the one who protected the cameraman on the original land. The title 'Uchiha junior' implies there's too much we can't understand."

"Going there rashly is not a wise choice. We do not know the relationship between Konoha and Akatsuki, and we will find it difficult to resist the power of Uchiha Kumo alone."

Huang Tu frowned and replied, "That Akatsuki guy appeared on the roof of Chito's group, but was discovered and stopped by Uchiha Kumo. This is what we just discussed. Furthermore, any problems that arise during our time in Konoha will be Konoha's problems..."

After he finished speaking, Onoki paused for a moment, then couldn't help but glance at his son, whom he had always thought was a bit dim-witted.

After thinking for a moment...

The art of light and heavy rocks.

Immediately, Onoki floated into the air: "You stay here. If I don't return, take Chito and the others and sneak out of Konoha to return to the village as quickly as possible."

Huang Tu quickly replied, "I'll go with you, old man!"

Onoki shook his head slightly: "With that kind of power... one more or one less makes no difference."

Although it's the truth, it sounds ironic at times like this.

In Iwagakure, the iron fist that was said to wield power over the world could only be a burden at this moment.

Ignoring his son's worried look, Onoki floated into the air and quickly headed in the direction the three of them had left.

The relationship between Akatsuki and Konoha was of paramount importance in subsequent strategies, as the surname Uzumaki was deeply connected to Konoha.

Even now, the swirling pattern on the back of the Konoha Jonin vests comes from the Uzumaki clan crest.

Add to that Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—there are just too many connections involved.

The things the Akatsuki members talked about with Uchiha Kumo during the Chunin Exams were extremely important.

……

Behind Konoha, atop Shadow Rock.

"Whoosh!"

Obito, appearing instantly, stopped atop the Fourth Hokage's rock, his gaze fixed on the Uchiha clan's territory below.

Uchiha Yun, who arrived shortly after, spoke up: "What is your purpose in leading me here? With that kind of space-time eye technique, even I would have a hard time stopping you if you wanted to escape."

Obito replied indifferently, "It seems that the so-called ancestral bloodline within you gives you extreme confidence in your power. But if that's all, you won't be able to stop me."

Yun smiled indifferently: "Perhaps we can give it a try."

Black Zetsu, who slowly emerged from the shadows, said, "As descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, the Uchiha clan may eventually become the second Sage of Six Paths in this world."

"The emergence of such power is meant to bring true peace to this world. Uchiha Kumo, with power reaching the level of my true self, you bear the mission of peace."

As Black Zetsu's voice fell, Obito, standing behind his mask, frowned slightly but remained silent.

Under the Eye of the Moon Project, only the Eye of Eternity can see the final record on that stone tablet.

Although his own eye power was different from ordinary kaleidoscopes due to the First Hokage's cells, Uchiha Yun believed that it would never be an eternal kaleidoscope.

In this way, Madara Uchiha's identity could no longer be concealed in front of him.

"Peace?"

Yun chuckled lightly, then said, "One wears a mask and hides his true form, the other is completely black and it's uncertain whether he's even human! You beings talk to me about peace?"

Yun then looked at Black Zetsu: "You just said that your true form has the same power as me, so let your true form talk to me! What kind of thing are you, this inhuman, ghost-like, pitch-black creature?"

Despite having lived for thousands of years, Black Zetsu showed no anger. After a moment of silence, he said, "My true form... cannot come. Because he is already dead, leaving peace for the future and entrusting his power to..."

"Even now, you haven't reached that level of power. Your eyes should be beginning to develop that power as well, right?"

Yun was stunned for a moment: "What else do you know!?"

Black Zetsu shook his head slightly: "Don't panic. What you are experiencing now is what my original self experienced..."

"The Uchiha clan's bloodline originates from the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, but it seems your bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form and hasn't stopped at Indra. The power of the Sage of Six Paths, the power that can truly bring peace to the world, is the level you will ultimately reach."

As he spoke, Black Zetsu looked at the shadowy area not far behind the Shadow Rock, and then gestured for Obito to go there.

However, the next moment, the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in Uchiha Yun's eye sockets and slowly rotated.

In an instant, a dark aura of power filled the air.

"Although he is the Kage of Iwagakure, he came to Konoha to participate in the Joint Chunin Exams, so he is someone Konoha needs to protect..."

Obito stopped in his tracks. Whether he could break the illusion created by the power of the Eternal Eyes was still uncertain.

At that moment, Ōnoki, who had been discovered in the shadows, floated out into the air.

He frowned slightly, but ultimately stood beside Yun.

This action prompted Yun Qing to chuckle, "Lord Tsuchikage, aren't you afraid that I did that on purpose and will launch a sneak attack on you later?"

Onoki shook his head slightly: "There's no need. With your strength, you don't need to resort to a sneak attack to deal with an old man like me."

Yun nodded: "But the same logic applies. Even with the addition of Lord Tsuchikage's power, we might not be able to capture these two."

These words startled Ohnoki slightly.

The two people in front of me are not Uzumaki Sora. If even Uchiha Kumo can't stop them, then just how powerful is Akatsuki?

"Don't you believe me?"

As soon as Yun finished speaking, his gaze turned to Obito.

Amaterasu!

A black flame instantly ignited around Obito's body, but even the black flame ignited by his gaze did not cause him any harm.

Obito, engulfed in black flames, did not flinch. Instead, he looked at Uchiha Yun and said, "Young junior, even with this power, you still cannot see the darkness of this world..."

"During the Warring States period, the average lifespan was thirty years; this number was slightly higher during the ninja village era. However, when the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out, there were still many children around ten years old going to the battlefield..."

"It is your power that brings you to true peace. You cannot escape it, and you will eventually have to face it."

As Obito spoke, he slowly stepped out of the black flames, then looked at Onoki: "Now you're stopping us from killing this so-called Tsuchikage, but one day, perhaps it will be a Konoha ninja, perhaps it will be your bond, or perhaps it will be your sister, Uchiha Izumi, who will die at the hands of Iwagakure ninjas..."

"At that time, perhaps you will understand how ridiculous and fragile this so-called peace is. And then... I will come back to find you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space around Obito, who was wearing a mask, began to fluctuate.

For a moment, Onoki, standing next to Yun, seemed unwilling to give up.

Dust Escape, a technique for separating the original world.

The cube-shaped barrier enveloped Obito, but even though this attack dented the Fourth Hokage's head, it still didn't harm him.

A vortex of spacetime was formed, and Obito instantly disappeared into it.

Meanwhile, Black Zetsu glanced at Konoha Village below, then turned to Uchiha Yun: "The commotion and the resulting chakra fluctuations have already attracted many people. Uchiha Yun, one day you will understand the mission that power carries. With your eye power, you should have seen... that record..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Zetsu sank completely into the ground.

After the enemy disappeared, Onoki frowned and asked, "Wasn't it a physical entity, just an illusion? Or a Sharingan genjutsu?"

Uchiha Yun, standing to the side, shook his head slightly: "No one can cast genjutsu on me. That's a unique eye technique of the opponent's Mangekyou Sharingan, probably a space-time type."

"Just before being hit by an attack, that part of the entity is transferred into another dimension. In this way, all attacks will be nullified."

Onoki paused, then asked, "In that case... combined with the Sharingan's ability to counter genjutsu, wouldn't that make you invincible?!"

Yun glanced at Onoki and chuckled, "I've heard that although Lord Tsuchikage is old, his mind is still very sharp..."

The almost mocking words did not anger Onoki, because at this moment, he recalled the scene of the other party walking out of the black flames.

Not invincible...

So... is there a time limit?

And the other party didn't make a move just now.

……

Make up for the debt slowly
