Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 228 Can be destroyed at will

"Lord Yun."

"sit."

Yun gestured for the other person to sit wherever they liked, and said, "This is a small, humble place, not the Hyuga or the Uchiha clan head's family, so we don't have many rules."

Kurama Unkai nodded upon hearing this, and then sat down on the sofa with Kurama Yakumo beside him.

Yun casually poured a glass of water for the two of them and smiled at the little girl.

However, it was this simple smile that caused Yakumo Kurama to lean back against the chair.

Deep inside her, a voice kept urging her on.

"Run! Run now!"

"He's going to kill you! They're jealous of your strength! Run!"

"Run!!"

……

Raising his head slightly, Kurama Yakumo looked at Yun with fear in his eyes.

Kurama Unkai sensed something was wrong and looked at his niece, asking, "Yakumo, what's wrong?"

Trembling uncontrollably, Yakumo stared straight at the clouds: "He...he's going to kill me..."

Yunhai was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and bowed slightly to Yun: "Lord Yun, I am truly sorry for your rudeness. Yakumo, she..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun raised her hand to stop him.

"Among ninjas, most secret techniques are formed by the transformation of chakra properties of Yin and Yang. Genjutsu, on the other hand, is basically the use of Yin chakra."

Yun casually took a sip of tea as he spoke: "The bloodline of the Kurama clan is the same, and they seem to be particularly outstanding in the ability to create form from nothingness."

"Within her body... there is currently a monster she created herself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Anma Yunhai froze on the spot.

In fact, the fire the day before yesterday was full of strange occurrences.

Kurama Murakumo, who also belongs to the Kurama clan's main branch, wonders what the chances are that his younger brother might have died in a fire.

Even an ordinary Chunin should know that they should be able to save their life if their house catches fire.

A monster?

Anma Yunhai looked at his niece.

I remember when Yakumo had just made his move, the entire Kurama clan was in an uproar because he had inherited the Kurama clan's bloodline...

Both he and Murakumo believed that Yakumo would be the hope for the Kurama clan's resurgence.

Just like the Uchiha clan now, they have become great again because of figures like Uchiha Yun, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Itachi.

It is even very possible that the next Hokage will be from the Uchiha clan.

This point is already a consensus among the upper echelons of Konoha.

Kurama Unkai bowed slightly again: "Lord Unkai, is there any way to make Yakumo...?"

Kurama Unkai paused here, looked at Yakumo, and sighed: "Although this child inherited the Kurama clan's bloodline, her body is too weak. Two years ago, Murakumo and I gave up on the idea of ​​making her a ninja."

"So no matter what... I beg Lord Yun to help, at least... so that Yakumo can live in peace..."

Have they already given up?

The Kurama clan had declined long ago, and they finally had a descendant who inherited their power, but he was unable to become a ninja due to his physical condition.

Perhaps... we can accept this power.

Thinking of this, Yun nodded slightly and said, "The weakness of the body is itself the price of its power. The ability to create form from nothingness has reached this level, which is no longer just an ordinary illusion ability."

"I have always remembered that more than five years ago, when the Kurama clan was able to lend a helping hand to the Uchiha."

Kurama Unkai's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment he shook his head and replied, "At that time... as a member of the Konoha clan, it was inevitable that we would stand up. If the Kurama clan hadn't stood up, no one knows if such a thing would have happened to them."

"The Uchiha clan, as one of the clans of Konoha, must have stood up firmly at that time for this reason."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun's smile deepened.

Taking advantage of someone's kindness and making a request are two different things.

Sometimes, relationships between families are the same as those between individuals; using favors to settle all debts is the most unwise choice.

By interpreting this as a request or plea from the Kurama clan, it would be possible to link Kurama and the Uchiha clan together.

Although the Kurama clan has declined in popularity, it still retains some influence as one of the Konoha clans.

and……

Yun's gaze then fell on Kurama Yakumo, where the little girl was curled up in the armchair, her eyes still looking at him with fear.

They possess the ability to create forms almost effortlessly, and even with their physical limitations, they can still achieve this level of specialization, especially for a Jonin.

Even against a Jonin, if there isn't enough information about their abilities, a one-hit kill isn't impossible.

Having inherited the influence of the Kurama clan, following Hyuga and Inuzuka, another Kurama will be added to his lineage.

Thinking of this, Yun nodded slightly to Kurama Yunhai: "As fellow clan ninjas of Konoha, I will do my best to help in any way I can."

As she spoke, Yun looked at Kurama Yakumo and slowly said, "You... still want to be a ninja?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurama Yakumo's obsession with becoming a ninja brought him back to his senses, and he looked at the clouds.

In that instant, a powerful burst of pupil energy erupted from Yun's eye sockets.

The eternal Mangekyou Sharingan appeared, and within the slowly rotating six-pointed star lay astonishing power.

"Buzz..."

……

Within the crimson illusion space, Yun looked at the monster nailed to a wooden cross.

Beside him, Kurama Yakumo was at a loss, looking around in terror and muttering, "Where...where am I?"

Yun smiled and replied, "You can think of this place as my illusion, similar to your inner world, and it is also a power of Yin attribute chakra."

"roar!!!"

As they were talking, the monster on the cross let out a roar.

Yun looked at Idu on the cross, frowned slightly and said, "Such an ugly appearance, yet he still has braids tied up. It's really disgusting to look at him like this."

Ido stared directly at Yakumo: "Bastards! You're jealous of Yakumo's power, you're afraid! So you want to get rid of her, right?"

Then, Ido looked at Kurama Yakumo beside him: "What are you waiting for? Use your power to break through his world. What does that power mean to you?! Kill him! Otherwise, he will kill you!"

Yakumo froze, then turned to look at Yun, her voice trembling as she asked, "Will you... kill me?"

Ido's voice rang out again: "The Uchiha clan of Konoha are masters of Fire Release and Genjutsu. In the entire Konoha, only the Kurama clan's Genjutsu can compare!"

"That's why they want to kill you. Only by killing you, the one who inherits the true power of the Kurama clan, can the Uchiha become the most powerful genjutsu clan in Konoha!"

"Your parents were burned to death in a fire! The culprit is the Uchiha clan!"

As soon as Ido finished speaking, an immense power surged from Kurama Yakumo's body.

That was the world created by illusion magic, a world formed by the bloodline inherited from the Kurama clan, a world within a painting.

It can even turn nothingness into reality!

"Click!"

A crisp sound rang out, and slight cracks appeared in the crimson space.

The cross also began to sway at this moment.

A purple gas was exhaled from Yakumo Kurama's dazed mouth.

"Bang."

The wooden cross shattered, and Idu, freed from its confinement, looked at Yun: "Now... you're completely at my mercy! Hehe..."

Amidst the sharp laughter, Yun Wei shook her head and said, "It's just a power that's still growing. Even five years from now, when you've already possessed most of that power, you'll be nothing more than a glance to me, let alone now."

As soon as the words fell, a six-pointed star encasing a cross appeared in the vast space, and as it slowly rotated, the space shifted once more.

The next moment, Idu was still nailed to the cross, and the illusion space turned crimson once more.

The figure of Yun materialized beside Kurama Yakumo and placed his hand on Yakumo's hair.

Immediately, a surge of power appeared, and Yakumo Kurama's gaze regained its composure.

"ah?!!"

Amidst cries of terror, Idu, who was pinned down, was about to speak when the force sealed off all his movements.

"I don't like being framed or anything like that."

As he spoke, Yun looked at Kurama Yakumo: "The murderer who killed your parents should be this one. Think carefully. In this situation, its power has been sealed by me. You should be able to remember it."

With her head bowed, Yakumo Kurama clutched her head, groaning in pain as her memories gradually returned.

Because of her health condition, she has always felt that she has let her parents down.

His frail body meant that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep up with the training at the ninja academy.

In this situation, feelings of guilt arise, and her innate ability even causes her to constantly imagine her parents' disappointed looks and conversations.

Over time, Edo was born.

That day……

That seductive voice...

Amidst the endless flames, the father urged the mother to escape quickly.

But in the end...

Yakumo, her head slightly raised, had tears streaming down her face. After looking at Ido, who was unable to move, her gaze finally fell on her own hands.

"So...it was me...I killed my own parents!"

"It's me!!"

Amidst the roar, a new power emerged from its body, even causing the space where the clouds had reformed to tremble twice.

However, it stabilized again after a short while.

Then Yun spoke up, "The imbalance of Yin and Yang has led to your physical weakness. Under such circumstances, you, who have been expected to be good to others since childhood, feel that you have let those expectations down."

"But in reality, all your parents want is for you to live a good life. It would be great if you could revive the family, but it's okay if you can't."

"But it seems you can't control your power. Under the torment of your heart, Idu appeared. It was it that killed your parents, not you, but ultimately, it was your misunderstanding of your parents that created it."

As she spoke, Yun placed her hand on Yakumo's hair: "So... now, do you choose to kill it and control this power to fulfill your parents' expectations, or... escape and choose death?"

"Smack."

Tears fell and shattered, but under Yun's control, they returned to Yakumo's eyes.

Yakumo looked up at Yun: "I...want to find my dad...and my mom..."

After pondering for a moment, Yun nodded: "Alright, I think they'll be disappointed in the Pure Land. Even if you can't become a ninja, they'd still want you to live, but now you want to die."

"With this power, if you can control it well, even a weak body cannot stop you from becoming a powerful ninja."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurama Yakumo looked up at him.

Become a ninja...

Can I really become a powerful ninja, make the Kurama clan great again, and fulfill my parents' expectations?

"Can... I do it?"

It seems like he's questioning himself.

Yun smiled and replied, "I remember Hayate Gekko of Konoha, a Special Jonin. His health was also very poor. However, as a Special Jonin, his bloodline limit and swordsmanship were among the best of the Special Jonin."

As he spoke, Yun looked around and said, "Although I didn't use my full strength, even so, there aren't many people in Konoha who can shake this space with the power of illusion."

Yakumo nodded: "I've often heard my parents mention Lord Yakumo's name. Lord Yakumo must have felt a lot of pressure trying to make the Uchiha clan great again, right?"

Is it stressful?

Yun thought back to the terrifying experience of facing life and death when she first came into this world, which almost drove her insane.

"call……"

After letting out a breath, Yun smiled and said, "Sometimes pressure is what drives people forward. Perhaps fulfilling your parents' expectations is a way of responding?"

Should we respond?

Kurama's mind was filled with memories of the past.

From childhood, I was surrounded by countless expectant eyes and voices.

The hope of the Kurama clan, the future that must be protected...

Everything, however, was destroyed when she was six years old.

She hated her weak body terribly, hated that it couldn't meet the expectations of her parents and clansmen...

Yakumo... her body is too weak.

She couldn't even become a ninja!

Has hope been dashed?

The future of the Kurama clan has been interrupted...

One by one, familiar voices appeared in Yakumo's mind, and for a moment, a dark emotion seemed to begin to brew again.

However, the next moment...

The warmth of the hand on his head pulled Yakumo back to his senses.

Uchiha... Cloud...

Known as the strongest force in the ninja world, he said that even so, he could become a powerful ninja.

As long as... as long as I can control the power within my body!

"May I... become your disciple?"

As he murmured, Yakumo Kurama's gaze held an unprecedented firmness.

Yun smiled and nodded: "You'll still have to study the theory at the Ninja Academy, but I'll guide you in genjutsu. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yakumo Kurama's eyes regained their light.

"teacher!"

Yun smiled and nodded.

The next moment, the figures of Yun and Kurama Yakumo disappeared into this space.

Idu, who was unable to move, had already been obliterated by a force.

The monsters created from nothingness are now easily destroyed by Yun's powerful pupils.

……

"teacher."

In reality, Yakumo's address after he opened his eyes surprised Kurama Unkai, who was standing next to him.

A smile immediately appeared on his face.

Looks like I solved it myself.

Yun nodded, then said to Kurama Unkai, "I have cleared the monster from Yakumo's body. Starting today, you can send her back to the Ninja Academy to study theoretical knowledge, while I will guide her in ninja skills."

"Just tell the Hokage that it was my decision. The power within Yakumo is not insignificant."

Kurama Unkai nodded repeatedly, then stood up and bowed ninety degrees to Unkai: "From today onwards, Kurama Yakumo is in your care!"

This statement startled Yun. As the patriarch of the Kurama clan, this kind of etiquette combined with these words indicated that it was not just Yakumo who was acting this way.

It seems that I have achieved my goal.

……

At the entrance to the Uchiha clan compound, Yun ruffled Kurama Yakumo's hair: "Don't worry, since we don't need to consider physical attributes, then we just need to prevent the enemy from getting close, right?"

Kurama Yakumo nodded blankly, "From now on, I will become a ninja like you, Sensei. Because... I want to fulfill my parents' expectations!"

……
