Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 224 Intervention

After standing up, Tokuma's words drew everyone's attention.

Even Hiashi and Hizashi set their sights on Tokuma.

Because at this moment they understood very well that whether Tokuma would be dealt with would be a turning point in their efforts.

Without the curse seal of the caged bird, the main family's seal cannot have any effect on it.

However, if they were to subdue him directly, there would be pressure from Uchiha Kumo.

To re-engrave the curse seal would be tantamount to slapping Uchiha Kumo across the face.

However, it is clear that as an elder of the Hyuga clan who has held power for so many years, Hyuga Hiten is well aware of the problems involved.

But at the same time, he also knew very well that he could not back down.

The fact that the Hiashi brothers were able to regain power was due to their actions under the old system. If they remain indifferent, their restored power will be taken back once again.

That's beyond doubt!

At this moment, Hyuga Hiten's hands were clenched into fists. Was he really going to confront the Uchiha, whose reputation was terrifying?

His white eyes furrowed slightly.

Hyuga Hiten looked at Tokuma and said, "You think I wouldn't dare kill you? Is that right?"

A questioning voice rang out, followed by, "As a member of the Hyuga branch family, you've long forgotten your mission. And now you even want to use the power of outsiders to rebel against your own destiny!"

"Tokuma... do you really believe... that Uchiha Kumo can interfere in the internal affairs of the Hyuga clan?!"

Amidst the angry shouts, Hyuga Hiten stood up and walked towards Tokuma, glaring at him with his Byakugan eyes: "Even the Hokage has no right to interfere with the Hyuga clan's rules!!"

For a moment, Tokuma was pinned to the spot.

He also knew that this was the crux of the problem; his teacher's power was indeed formidable, powerful enough to make the entire ninja world wary.

But as this old man in front of me said, even the Hokage has no reason to interfere with the rules of the Hyuga clan.

The scene fell silent for a long time...

After a long pause, Hyuga Hiten spoke again, "Go and invite Uchiha Kumo to the Hyuga clan's territory!"

"As Tokuma's mentor Jonin, he managed to erase the Caged Bird Seal of the Hyuga clan. I want to ask him... who gave him such power?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone ran out.

The old system also has its supporters, even if they are also victims of the system, but this will not change their minds.

Only when one is in the right can one be confident. Only by presenting a reason can one be wary of those with the power of Uchiha Kumo and feel that perhaps one can touch the tiger's whiskers.

But obviously... this requires the other party to be willing to reason.

……

Hokage Building.

Having just received the intelligence from the Anbu, Shikaku hurriedly headed towards Minato.

After handing the information to Minato, Shikaku said, "Using the removal of the Caged Bird Seal as a gift for one's student's promotion to Chunin is indeed a bit reckless."

Minato smiled and put away the intelligence report in his hand: "Yun is getting impatient. He feels we're moving too slowly, so he wants to solve the problem once and for all."

"call……"

Shikaku let out a sigh of relief: "But if this happens, our original plan to gradually work with Hiashi and the others will be completely ruined."

Minato nodded: "Yes, it is indeed in chaos. But it doesn't seem to matter much. With Yun around, the chaos will only be limited to the Hyuga main family."

Shikaku replied, "My only concern right now is whether Kumo will lose her temper and wipe out all those old fogies from the Hyuga clan. Killing ninjas from your own village is no small crime."

Minato shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, Kumo isn't that irrational. Besides, at this point, only Kumo, as Tokuma's Jonin instructor, can get involved..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato stood up and went to the window, his gaze also fixed on the distant Hyuga clan's territory.

Even as the Hokage, he had no reason to go to the Hyuga clan's territory and participate in the reform of the old clan rules at this time.

However, the intervention of Uchiha Kumo itself will become a breach.

Once an incident escalates to involve Konoha, the Hokage has the right to intervene.

I suppose... Yun probably thinks so too.

"Lord Hokage, it seems our actions are still considered somewhat weak by him..."

Shikaku's self-deprecating voice rang out.

Minato smiled and said, "In terms of gentleness, Yun is no less capable than us. In the Uchiha clan incident, he gradually achieved today's situation over several years. His methods are quite clear now."

Shikaku feigned doubt and asked, "Even looking back now, does the Hokage still think this was the best outcome?"

Minato turned to Shikaku: "No need to test me. You've seen the information Jiraiya-sensei brought back. The ninja world is peaceful now, but who knows how long it will be before a storm begins..."

"In this situation, no one in Konoha would be a more suitable candidate than him. If Akatsuki, where Uzumaki Sora is located, truly has that goal in the end, then only Kumo can stop them."

Shikaku nodded, and after a long silence, said, "The reincarnations of the Sage of Six Paths' two sons' chakra may inevitably lead to their fate. But... it's a bit too late..."

Upon hearing this, Minato frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "That's also what I'm worried about..."

"The suggestion from Yun is to split the Nine-Tails in half and seal half of its chakra inside Naruto's body."

"Under what circumstances do you think Yun would be so eager to push Naruto and Sasuke to grow?"

???

For a moment, Shikaku froze on the spot.

The Nara clan is known for its wisdom, and Shikaku, as the clan leader, is widely recognized for his exceptional intelligence.

The reason I didn't realize it before was simply because of the difference in our standing heights.

But after passing through the water gate, Shikaku finally realized what was happening.

The stone tablet beneath the Uchiha clan's Naga Shrine is currently only fully decipherable by Uchiha Kumo's eye power.

Even the truth or falsehood of the latter part cannot be verified by anyone.

Given the signs of his bloodline reverting to its ancestral form, no one knows how many secrets he alone has discovered.

But if even Yun wants Naruto and Sasuke to grow up as quickly as possible, then what kind of terrifying enemy is there among them? Is it really just Uzumaki Sora?

"Lord Hokage..."

Minato waved his hand slightly: "Don't be too nervous, Shikaku. These are just my guesses. In any case... we can help him in other ways, and that's all that matters."

Shikaku nodded. Perhaps this was why the Hokage and Kushina were willing to remove the Nine-Tails...

Only with the restorative power of its pupil technique can the prerequisite for separation be met.

……

At the same time, two members of the Hyuga clan appeared in front of Yun, who had just left Konoha Hospital and was preparing to go home.

"Yu..."

One of them had barely spoken when he was stopped by his companion.

He then bowed slightly and said, "Lord Yun, Lord Hiashi requests your presence."

Yun smiled at the two people in front of him, and then disappeared from the spot in the next moment.

"Whoosh."

"Prepared to call me by my first name? Audacity that doesn't match your strength... Do you think I wouldn't dare do anything to you? Is that it?"

Cold sweat trickled down her forehead. Yun smiled, turned around, and walked forward.

His companion then said in a deep voice, "You should know that for someone like him, killing you silently is no easier than crushing an ant."

"Gurgle..."

He swallowed hard and nodded blankly.

The two then followed, but dared not utter a single word along the way.

Having successfully persuaded Uchiha Kumo to return, their mission was complete. As for any show of force or anything like that, they weren't foolish enough to do so.

The speed just now, and the killing intent coming from behind, were as if he were facing a god.

……

Hyuga clan compound, meeting room.

Upon arriving here, the branch family members behind Hizashi, along with the two brothers Hiashi, stood up and bowed slightly.

"Lord Yun."

Neji and Hinata were also present, a sight that caused Hyuga Hiten and the men behind him to frown slightly.

Since when did the Hyuga clan have to bow down to the Uchiha clan?

Indeed, only under strict clan rules can Hyuga become the strongest Hyuga!

In a short time, this idea became even more deeply rooted.

Yun smiled and stepped forward to ruffle Hinata's hair: "Is school over? You probably don't like this kind of scene very much..."

Hinata was stunned as she felt the warmth above her head.

I don't know why, but it really warms my heart...

With a teacher like that, Tokuma-nii is fearless, right?

Just like Naruto, I will not be afraid of anything!

"Teacher...can you help Tokuma-nii-san?"

A barely audible sound rang out, but everyone in the conference hall heard it.

For a moment, two different gazes converged on Hinata, but this did not frighten her.

Neji appeared in front of Hinata in a flash, looking at the guy opposite him with hostility.

"Well... they're all minor issues."

Yun stepped forward and asked Hiashi, "Did the Hyuga clan invite me here for some reason?"

It was a simple question, but because it was from the clouds, the implications of it left everyone speechless.

Standing in the center of the field, Tokuma felt as if he had finally seen a relative, and walked over to stand behind Yun.

"teacher……"

Yun, carrying him on her back, nodded: "I said there won't be any problems, so don't worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hyuga Hiten, who seemed to have reached his limit, finally spoke.

"Your Excellency Yun..."

"As a member of the Uchiha clan, you shouldn't have the right to change the rules of our Hyuga clan, should you?"

Yun smiled and replied, "The Hyuga clan, like the Uchiha clan, belongs to Konoha, but their clan rules are matters for each individual clan."

"As a member of the Uchiha clan, I certainly have no right to change the rules of the Hyuga clan."

Upon receiving this reply, Hyuga Hite breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly realizing that the young man in front of him was just another young man.

As a result, his tone became increasingly unfriendly.

"Since you yourself admit it, then you need to give the Hyuga clan an explanation for erasing the Caged Bird Seal from Hyuga Tokuma!"

explain?

"hehe……"

Yun's soft laughter rang out, and everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

"After the Chunin Exams, I believed that Hyuga Tokuma, as my student, had the ability to protect himself."

"In this situation, the curse mark on his forehead has already hindered his growth due to the blind spot. So... was there anything wrong with my decision to erase the curse mark?"

"You should be well aware of the responsibility of guiding Jonin. As for the Hyuga clan's rules, I have no intention of interfering, after all, I am just an Uchiha."

"My relationship with Hyuga is that of fellow villagers and comrades, while my relationship with Tokuma is that of teacher and student. The existence of the cursed seal will put Tokuma's life in the hands of others, and as his teacher, I cannot ignore this."

As he spoke, Yun looked at the members of the branch family behind Richi and smiled, saying, "As fellow villagers, you are welcome to come to me if you have any needs. Please note that this is only assistance from fellow villagers; I do not intend to interfere with your clan rules."

These words made everyone's eyes light up.

However, Hyuga Hiten and the others were so angry that they couldn't speak for a moment.

After a long pause, Hyuga Hiten, an elder of the conservative faction, spoke again: "So, does Your Excellency mean that I believe... according to clan rules, Hyuga Tokuma should have his cursed seal re-engraved, and then activate it before dying?"

"This is a rule of the Hyuga clan, and you have no reason to stop it!"

Yun raised her head slightly, and a pair of eternal eyes suddenly appeared in her eye sockets.

Under the chilling gaze, everyone shivered.

"As I just said, Tokuma is my disciple, and as his teacher, I have no reason to watch him be killed!"

"Or do you, old man, think... you can withstand my wrath?"

Hyuga Hino, who was called "Old Man," was furious. He glared at Kuma but couldn't hold back his words, finally managing to shout, "You rude wretch!"

Yun shook his head slightly: "If I remember correctly, old man, although you are an elder of the Hyuga clan, you do not hold any official position in Konoha. And I am not a member of the Hyuga clan. As an Uchiha, you are just an old man."

Hyuga Hiten was furious: "If you insist on going your own way, then the Hyuga clan will have no choice but to appeal to the Hokage and let him decide!"

Despite the angry shouts, Yun ignored his barking.

Instead, after looking around at everyone, his gaze settled on Hiashi: "I remember the head of the Hyuga clan should be the main family's leader, right? Wasn't this old man stripped of his elder position a long time ago? When was he released?"

"Or perhaps... there's been a coup within the Hyuga clan?"

"Head of the Hiashi family, are you being controlled? If you are, blink twice!"

Amid the teasing, Hijikata stood up, shook his head with a wry smile.

He then said, "I have never reinstated his status as an elder. He has no right to interfere in the issues between the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan."

As soon as Rizuku finished speaking, a commotion arose.

These are mostly rebuttals to Japanese football, and some of them are even insults.

However, the next moment, all the sounds fell silent.

"Buzz!!"

With the Sharingan, the genjutsu has already been planted.

"It seems the Hiashi family head has already reached the point of a coup, hasn't he?"
