Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 234 Let's Learn Immortal Arts (12 Four Thousand)

"So... the Sage of Six Paths is still watching this world. Does this mean he left his chakra behind in this world?"

Minato rubbed his temples as he spoke.

Since Sora Uzumaki appeared, such events seem to have been happening one after another concerning legendary figures.

Indra, Ashura, the Sage of Six Paths, and now Kaguya, the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, has appeared. I wonder if a father of Kaguya will also appear.

The Otsutsuki clan is truly a legendary clan.

He slightly raised his head, his gaze fleetingly passing over the two Hyuga brothers.

The fact that they were able to report such a situation to the Hokage Building immediately is enough to show that these two are sensible people.

However, similarly... obtaining this information will also lead the Hyuga clan to do everything possible to obtain the Ōtsutsuki's chakra in order to awaken the ultimate power of the Byakugan.

Regarding the prosperity or decline of the clan, with the Fifth Hokage now almost certain to be Kumo, the Hyuga clan may well be considering the possibility of the Sixth or Seventh Hokage.

"call……"

Minato let out a breath, feeling a headache coming on.

Everything was no longer a mystery after Jiraiya brought back new information.

But this kind of clue only makes it harder to know where to start.

At this moment, Yun spoke up, "I don't like situations where people know many things but can't discuss them openly."

Yun then looked at the Hyuga brothers and said, "The Hyuga clan's intention is probably to awaken that power in Hinata, right?"

Such a frank question surprised Hiashi and Hizashi, who exchanged a glance and nodded.

Yun continued, "Based on current information, the Otsutsuki's chakra has two possibilities: first, as Uzumaki Sora said, it's on the moon; second, it's the chakra of Naruto and Sasuke."

"We can ignore the ones on the moon. Even if there are people up there, we don't know how to get up there yet. So... that leaves Naruto and Sasuke."

Hiashi nodded slightly, his gaze meeting Minato's for a moment before they looked away.

After all, the child is still young, and this kind of in-law relationship is not something we should be discussing right now.

"Naruto's words..."

Shikaku's hesitant voice rang out, and after everyone looked over, he continued, "It is known that Naruto has the chakra of the second son of the Sage of Six Paths, but according to legend, the Sage of Six Paths' eyes were not Byakugan, but Rinnegan."

"The same ancestor. The meaning of this statement may not be limited to the Sage of Six Paths. Going further back... the Goddess of the Rabbit."

"Given Uzumaki Sora's past reputation for integrity in transactions, if Naruto is willing, he shouldn't just mention the moon."

At this point, Shikaku fell silent.

But these words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the two brothers' heads.

Yun nodded: "That's true, but there's actually another possibility involved."

Hiashi and Hishi exchanged a glance, and the two bowed slightly to Yun.

This action also represents the will of both of them.

The Fifth Hokage would be a member of the Uchiha clan, or more precisely, the Uchiha Cloud.

Yun smiled and waved her hand: "There's no need for that. In my opinion, many things can be discussed openly, without having to hide them."

"The Uchiha belong to Konoha, and the Hyuga belong to Konoha as well. To become Hokage, one needs the recognition of the entire village, not just strength."

"If we can't even trust the people in our own village, then what's the difference between us, the current high-ranking officials of Konoha, and those of the previous generation who never trusted the new generation?"

Minato paused for a moment, then gave a casual, helpless smile.

Over the years, perhaps even he himself has become accustomed to this way of handling things.

Jiraiya, standing to the side, frowned. Although he was also dissatisfied with the old man's laissez-faire attitude, that man was, after all, his teacher.

As for Shikaku, he kept his head down and didn't say anything.

Although he had been serving as the Hokage's assistant since the Fourth Hokage took power, it was still not appropriate for him to speak at this time.

"Arrange for Naruto and Hinata to go to the research and development department. I heard that Kabuto has completed some new technologies. Whether they are feasible or not needs to be verified."

Minato directly stated the arrangement that the Hyuga brothers most wanted to hear. As for the danger, with Naruto present and him watching over things, there would be no problem.

They know how to maintain a proper sense of proportion.

At this moment, Yun thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps there is some problem with your understanding."

The group of people all looked over at once.

Yun continued, "If Shikaku's guess is correct, then the other Otsutsuki Hamura, besides the Sage of Six Paths, should possess a power similar to the Byakugan."

"As a descendant of the Otsutsuki, Hyuga should also possess the Otsutsuki bloodline. Over time, perhaps the bloodline has become diluted, which is why he was unable to obtain the ultimate power of the Byakugan."

"Based on this, it's possible that the Hyuga clan itself contains the latent genes of the Otsutsuki clan. And the Ashura chakra within Naruto might be the trigger."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded.

Minato replied, "I will explain this to the R&D department."

He then looked at Hiashi Hyuga: "Head of the Hyuga clan, perhaps you will need to visit Lady Tsunade tomorrow. With her there, the success rate will be greatly increased."

Rizu nodded, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Hinata may have played a part in allowing Hyuga's power to increase, but the Hokage's trust in Hyuga is the most significant factor.

"Don't overthink it. Although Konoha may seem safe, the future of the ninja world is far from peaceful since the appearance of Akatsuki and Uzumaki Sora."

Yun's voice rang out: "If Hyuga can obtain the ultimate power of the Byakugan, it will only benefit Konoha."

Hiashi bowed slightly: "Hyuga will always be Konoha's Hyuga."

……

Having obtained what they wanted, Hiashi and Hizashi quickly took their leave.

Once the two had left, Jiraiya teased, "Looks like your in-laws are settled, huh?"

Minato smiled helplessly and replied, "Let them decide what the future holds. Both Naruto and Hinata are still young."

At this point, Minato then said in a deep voice, "We still need to ask you, Master, for information about the Otsutsuki clan from Mount Myōboku."

Jiraiya waved his hand: "I understand... I know that as Hokage, you can't possibly go to Mount Myōboku to look through the stone carvings every day. It's mainly because the Great Toad Sage loves to sleep too much; he's basically drowsy all the time."

Feeling drowsy?

One of the clouds smiled.

That old toad is definitely not senile. Although he sometimes doesn't recognize Jiraiya, only he knows the truth.

In my memory, when Pain attacked, Gamamaru, who was watching the battlefield with a crystal ball, didn't seem senile at all.

As the original inhabitants of this world, he believed that the existence of the Divine Tree and Kaguya threatened the very foundation of this world, so he persuaded the Hamura and Hagoromo brothers to seal Kaguya away.

Such an existence... is not simple.

It's worth noting that even the Sage of Six Paths' sage techniques were taught by it.

"We haven't even figured out Indra's and Ashura's chakra yet, and now the ultimate power of the Byakugan has appeared... Uzumaki Sora must be even stronger now."

Shikaku's voice rang out, and then everyone fell silent.

That was the truth, but it left the group feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

If it weren't for Uchiha Kumo's existence, Konoha might not even have been able to put up a fight.

This is also why Minato divided half of the Nine-Tails' power into Kumo's. Under the pressure of Uzumaki Sora, he could only try to enhance Kumo's power in order to contend with him.

"cloud."

Minato looked over: "Hasn't a new power yet been born?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "Although it has been a bit more frequent recently, it really hasn't happened yet. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is probably already the pinnacle for the Uchiha clan. The level they reach next might have already surpassed the Uchiha clan, so it is indeed a bit slow."

These words weighed heavily on everyone's minds.

In the final battle at the Sea of ​​Ending, Yun was able to win because of the power of the Death Gate in the Eight Gates Formation.

This power, combined with his instantaneous recovery eye technique, was enough to kill Uzumaki Sora in an instant.

However, based on the information that Kakashi and Itachi brought back at the time, the green ore full of life energy that Uzumaki Kakashi used also had the ability to regenerate.

In this way, if you can't kill the other party in an instant, then the advantages and disadvantages are the same.

The scene remained silent for a long time.

Finally, Jiraiya spoke up, saying, "Sage Techniques? You probably don't possess the power of Sage Techniques yet, do you?"

Minato nodded: "With the bloodline of the Cloud clan reverting to its ancestral form, it has even begun to exhibit characteristics of the Uzumaki clan. Its vast chakra reserves are indeed well-suited for Sage Mode training."

Seeing that Yun seemed somewhat dismissive, Jiraiya immediately became anxious.

He leaned closer and winked, "Young Yun, don't underestimate the power of immortal techniques!"

"The Sage Techniques inherited from Mount Myōboku not only enhance the speed and power of taijutsu, but also amplify the power of ninjutsu. You should know that even the First Hokage's Wood Release technique was only able to be perfectly executed based on Sage Techniques."

Yun smiled and shook his head: "Immortal arts are indeed powerful, and they can be learned. I'm not completely ignorant about immortal arts either, after all, I've read many documents over the years to gather information about Uzumaki Sora."

"But the use of the Eight Gates shouldn't be combined with Sage Mode, right? That state is purely taijutsu, and the rampaging chakra after the restrictions are lifted causes the whole body to be enveloped in blood-red steam..."

"In this state, I'm afraid no technique can be used."

These words left Jiraiya stunned.

It seems... that's indeed the case.

After a moment's thought, Minato said, "You should still learn it. In any case, Sage Mode can increase your power in your normal form."

"Because of my limited chakra reserves, I'm not good at Sage Mode. But judging from the amount of chakra I have, quickly mastering balance should be easy."

"Moreover, in addition to the Eight Gates, Susanoo combined with the Nine-Tails and Sage Mode should give it power that surpasses its previous state."

……

Ultimately, the plan for Uchiha Un to learn Sage Mode was finalized.

Just like a year ago, the pressure from Uzumaki Sora forced Minato and Jiraiya to trust only Kumo.

Because... only clouds can fight against the vortex sky.

However, the trip to Mount Myōboku to learn sage techniques was postponed, as Jiraiya would need to leave the village again the next day.

He returned this time only to retrieve some old intelligence; after reviewing it, there were some things he needed to verify.

But he didn't say what it was.

……

After leaving the Hokage Building, Jiraiya went up and put his arm around Yun's shoulder.

"Young Yun, after you've learned the immortal arts, shouldn't you call me 'teacher'?"

Yun turned to look at Jiraiya: "Is this appropriate? After all, I should be stronger than you right now, right?"

Jiraiya shook his head: "You can't say that. The power of Sage Mode is not weak in the entire ninja world. Only a master-disciple relationship can teach you this kind of power."

Yun smiled and replied, "A few years ago, the Twelve Guardian Shinobi of the Fire Temple split up, and one of them even resurrected the corpse of the Third Raikage."

"I witnessed the Hokage's Sage Mode during this incident, where he absorbed energy from the air and created eye shadow. Perhaps I'll be able to do it in time without anyone's guidance."

???

Jiraiya was stunned.

You'll be able to do it yourself after a while? No way!

He went through countless hardships to complete his training in Sage Mode, and even then, it was with the help of the toad oil from Mount Myōboku.

How is it possible to learn without a teacher?

and many more!

At this moment, Jiraiya remembered something that happened a year ago when he was looking for Tsunade to prevent Uzumaki Sora from obtaining the power of Sage Mode.

At that time, Tsunade once said that perhaps the First Hokage's Sage Mode was not obtained from Shikkotsu Forest.

Combining the phenomenon of cloud veins...

Maybe they really can learn it on their own!

Jiraiya was somewhat dejected. He had originally hoped to use his status to avenge the arrow wound he had suffered years ago, but now it seemed hopeless.

"Forget it, there's no need to become an apprentice."

He sighed, but then Jiraiya's gaze fell on the direction of the shopping street.

That place... was the place he longed for, and also the place where his inspiration flowed.

"Kid Yun, Minato invited me to his house for dinner later, so I'll be going now!"

Jiraiya was saying this as he prepared to leave.

But just as he took a step out, Yun behind him spoke up, "Lord Jiraiya, are you going to the roof of the women's bathhouse? But do you think I might have already planted a genjutsu in the Hokage's office after learning of your return?"

Uh!

These words made Jiraiya retract his foot, and with a bewildered look, he turned around and said, "I'm not going to the bathhouse. Didn't I just say I'm going to Minato's house for dinner?"

After hesitating for a moment, Jiraiya said, "Why don't you break the illusion for me? I really need to go to the Minato family for dinner."

Yun smiled and replied, "When we go to the Hokage's house for dinner, the genjutsu won't be triggered, so don't worry."

rest assured?

How can I not feel at ease?!

I wanted to say something more, but Yun had already left on her own.

……

I'm begging for monthly votes, double votes from the 1st to the 7th! Thank you so much!

There will be another chapter after midnight. I keep my word, or else... hehehehe!
