Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 241 Black Zetsu is Preparing (22)

"Shit, Nara!"

"Damn it, Shikaku!"

"Go to hell!"

"He even fooled a fox? Can't he be a decent human being?"

The Nine-Tails cursed and swore without taking a breath, and even turned around and made a gesture with its middle claw towards the Hokage Building.

This time it was really angry.

The penalty is 1.5 million taels of silver, the S-level mission is 1 million taels of silver, and the A-level mission is 500,000 taels of silver, which just cancel each other out.

In particular, there was a mission reward chart in the Hokage's office, but it just didn't see it.

As a result, the Nine-Tails has been cursing all the way from the Hokage's office to now.

Although Shikaku won, he was still embarrassed and couldn't very well retort like Kurama did.

After all, he was the head of the Nara clan and the Hokage's assistant; he still had to save face.

The little nine-tailed fox rummaged under its rear end with one paw, took out a wad of coins Itachi had given it, counted them twice, and only put them back after confirming they were correct.

This action made Yun say helplessly, "Your money has a strange smell no matter how you look at it."

The Nine-Tails turned to look at the clouds: "What are you trying to say? I don't need to be like you humans. I'm a tailed beast, what kind of smell do I have?"

Yun thought about it and realized that it did make sense.

At that moment, the little nine-tailed fox darted onto Itachi's shoulder.

Although Itachi didn't say anything, his obviously very bad mood made him frown.

"Itachi-kun, you're still the best!"

The Nine-Tails patted Itachi's back with its paw: "If you need anything in the future, just say the word. As long as the money's right, anything's negotiable!"

Itachi nodded expressionlessly, then looked at the little Nine-Tails and replied, "Please take good care of me, Lord Nine-Tails."

Yun sighed, then said, "Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan has extraordinary ocular power, allowing him to use space-time ocular techniques continuously. You should understand that. Moreover..."

Yun glanced at the little Nine-Tails: "He seems to have a special ability to control the Nine-Tails, and can control it very easily. So if you want the Nine-Tails to help you, you have to be prepared."

Itachi nodded without replying and continued walking towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

Yun, standing beside him, sighed again.

Although this guy put me under life-or-death pressure before I was five years old, if I had the chance back then, I would have loved to chop him into eight pieces.

But the night of annihilation never happened.

He managed to correct his intermittent mental illness to some extent, but in retrospect, he also played a role in Fugaku Uchiha's death.

However... even if Fugaku doesn't die, according to his own plan, he will eventually force him to step down as clan leader.

In that case, there would be no need for saving face.

Thinking of this, Yun looked at Itachi, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "You must have had your own reasons for promising the Hokage not to tell Kakashi, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi stopped in his tracks.

A moment later, Itachi turned around and said, "Obito Uchiha, he knows perfectly well whether Black Zetsu is the monster you've seen."

As Itachi spoke, he looked at the ninja academy not far away. Sasuke should be out of school by now, right?

"Kakashi's eye technique is a perfect counter to Obito's ability. If I don't tell him, he won't hold back when he makes a move. That's my goal."

Is that really the case?

Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't act rashly. With your intelligence, you should understand that the power of the Kaleidoscope is insufficient to fight against some people."

Itachi nodded without replying.

But Yun knew very well that he hadn't listened.

However, unlike the Sasuke I remember, Itachi, as a true ninja, was not impulsive.

It seems Kakashi has been targeted by him.

At this moment, Little Nine-Tailed Fox looked around, and after understanding, it ran back to Yun's shoulder in a flash.

It seems that making money isn't so easy.

With the boss away, if we were to face that masked guy again, wouldn't we be captured and used to fill the Ten-Tails?

So I still have to honestly make films and earn money...

Yun, who understood the little nine-tailed fox's thoughts, smiled and reached out to rub its head: "You're really losing the aura of the nine-tailed fox you used to have."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox shook its head to avoid the large hand that was petting the dog.

What is "temperament"? Can you exchange it for alcohol?

Back when she was still a nine-tailed fox spirit, she went hungry for three days straight, had nothing to eat, and could only eat air every day.

Can it be compared to now?

While eating grilled meat and drinking alcohol, they can even hand Shukaku two big bags after they're done!

What a cool word?

It's like being in prison every day, like being half-dead. I can't go back, and I don't want to.

……

"Yo? Kumo, Itachi!"

As they passed by the shopping street, Kai greeted the two people at the meatball shop.

Inside sat not only Guy, but also Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma...

Yun glanced at Itachi beside her: "I know you're probably not in the mood right now, but some things can't be rushed. Eat something you like and relax."

"Besides, if you go back like this, Aunt Mikoto and Sasuke will probably think something has happened to you. Don't let your living relatives worry."

Perhaps it was the last sentence that had an effect, because Itachi nodded and walked towards the dumpling shop.

Meanwhile, the little nine-tailed fox on Yun's shoulder perked up excitedly: "Boss Yun, are you treating?"

Yun nodded helplessly: "I'll treat you to dinner as a way of thanking you for your help this time."

Little Nine-Tailed scratched its head, unusually a little embarrassed: "I didn't help much. If it weren't for you, Boss, I probably would be done for."

Yun tapped its forehead helplessly: "Don't just remember what I said when I was complaining all day long, be serious."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox nodded, thinking to herself, "As long as you're treating, I'll do whatever you say..."

However, once inside the store, this guy's true nature was revealed.

"Boss! Ten skewers of fish balls, ten skewers of takoyaki, ten skewers... and five bottles of beer!"

The Nine-Tails' voice stunned Asuma and the others, while Yun covered his forehead, feeling extremely embarrassed.

……

Konoha Village is actually quite large, and its ninjas are often away on missions.

After returning to the village, he also received his own training guidance.

So it's quite rare to encounter a situation like today where all the familiar faces are there.

After taking their seats, Kakashi nudged Yun on the shoulder: "Why does it feel like you've influenced the Nine-Tailed Fox? Is this still the Nine-Tailed Fox?"

Yun had a bit of a headache: "I don't know how I learned to drink, and I have a really bad addiction to alcohol."

Kurenai Yuhi almost dropped the three-colored dumplings in her hand when Asuma coughed, finally realizing what was happening.

He then said to Yun, "Only someone with Yun's power could bring a tailed beast to this state."

Asuma nodded in deep agreement: "The Nine-Tailed Fox, known as the embodiment of calamity, has become a drunkard in Konoha. I doubt anyone would believe it."

"Speaking of which... Tailed Beasts shouldn't get drunk, right? They don't seem to need to eat."

Yun nodded: "It's just a taste, but it might get drunk, as long as it's willing to."

As he spoke, his gaze darted back and forth between the two people opposite him, making Asuma and Kurenai a little embarrassed.

"You two... is something going on?"

Asuma panicked at this and quickly leaned closer to whisper, "Not yet, it's just the beginning."

Yun suddenly realized, and looked at Kakashi and Guy: "So you two are here to support him? That's great, looks like it won't be long before we're all set."

Kurenai Yuhi's face flushed slightly as she retorted, "Lord Yun, shouldn't you be close to doing something about it? Itachi and Kokoro have been officially dating for so long, why aren't you making your move yet?"

Yun shrugged: "I have no goals. Besides, I'm only fifteen years old (by Chinese reckoning), you guys are all much older than me, what am I panicking about?"

When Itachi realized he was being dragged into this, he remembered Kokoro and temporarily interrupted his thoughts.

After eating a dumpling, Itachi said, "We're still in a relationship, marriage is a long way off."

At this moment, Kai asked, "How do I become a support? Who am I supporting? It's just out to grab a bite to eat, isn't it?"

The latency is a bit high.

Yun rubbed her temples. "So, this guy, whose brain is all muscles, is probably destined to be forever without love?"

Kakashi sighed and looked at his best friend: "Never mind, the kid he's got his eye on isn't bad either, he looks pretty similar."

These words were naturally spoken by Xiao Li.

Their thick eyebrows and personalities are indeed very similar.

Yun looked at Kai and said, "You've been keeping an eye on that kid since his second year of school. Seriously... is he your illegitimate son?"

Kai was stunned for a moment, then reacted and replied, "What nonsense! How could that be!"

……

At this moment, Little Nine-Tailed Fox, who had run over with the shop owner, arrived.

"Bang."

He plopped down on the table, holding fish balls in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other.

"Gulp, gulp..."

After finishing her drink in one gulp, Little Nine-Tailed Fox said, "What are you talking about? Dating? Three single dogs, what's there to talk about!"

"Smack."

My head was instantly struck.

Yun withdrew his hand and said, "You think you're all that after a few drinks? It's like you're not single yourself."

The Nine-Tails didn't care and continued eating its skewers: "Hmph... I'm different from you guys. I'm a tailed beast, I don't have that kind of need."

"Speaking of which... when Kushina was pregnant with Naruto, I was locked in the Adamantine Lock for several months. Every night, I was unable to move, and during the day, I was released."

"It's just that little thing, isn't it? I've been around for thousands of years, what haven't I seen? Heh..."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox is driving a bit fast.

For a moment, apart from Kakashi, who had just experienced the "Icha Icha Paradise" (a popular Japanese adult entertainment venue), and the oblivious Guy, everyone else felt a bit awkward.

However, Yun was embarrassed because she had brought the fox with her, and the car was going too fast, which affected her image.

"With you around, I'm afraid I'll really stay single forever."

Yun made a comment.

Kurenai Yuhi chuckled, "With Lord Yun's current status and such good looks, I don't believe no one would pursue him."

Yun smiled and waved her hand: "Let's not use honorifics, it's vulgar. The next few years won't be peaceful, so let's wait and see about dating."

These words stunned the group.

Given Yun's current status and power, he must know more than they do.

Kakashi thought for a moment and then asked, "Did you just come from the teacher's place? Has anything new happened recently?"

Kurenai asked with a hint of doubt, "With the presence of the clouds, things have been much calmer along the border these past two years. Has anything unexpected happened?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "An S-rank mission, you want to know?"

Several people shook their heads in succession.

The process of a ninja's mission must be kept secret, especially at higher mission levels.

However, Kakashi already knew some of these things, and his expression immediately became somewhat serious.

Itachi then looked at Kakashi and asked, "Have you adapted to the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities yet?"

Kakashi paused for a moment upon hearing this, then replied, "It's a lot of a burden, but I can already use it in battle."

Itachi nodded and said nothing more.

This situation left Kakashi somewhat bewildered. Concerned about him? Surely not?

"Boss! Ten more bottles of wine, please!"

Kai's voice rang out, and then he clinked glasses with Little Nine-Tailed Fox.

"I feel the youth burning within me!"

"Then you're probably pretty drunk..."

"I won't get drunk! In this passionate youth, how can I lose a drinking contest? Come on! Let's continue!"

"Alright. Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

……

The two men had piled up empty wine bottles on the table and were making grand pronouncements.

Yun's eyes twitched.

Is this a case of a turtle eyeing a green bean, and they've hit it off?

They drank until dusk.

Once outside the shop, the man and the beast had reached the point where they were about to become sworn brothers.

Fortunately, Yun managed to twist the little nine-tailed fox back, but it was clear that the little guy didn't want to sober up. It quickly climbed onto Yun's shoulder, lay down, and fell asleep.

……

Meanwhile.

From the dark underground cave, Obito emerged from the swirling space, while Black and White Zetsu rose from the ground beside him.

"It failed..."

Obito's voice rang out.

White Zetsu joked, "For me, failure isn't scary; what's scary is that I can't poop!"

"Shut up!"

Black Zetsu snorted angrily, then looked at Obito and said, "Ever since the Joint Chunin Exams, Uchiha Un has been on guard against this move. Based on Summoning Jutsu and Flying Thunder God Technique, they can indeed arrive the fastest."

Dai Tu's face was gloomy.

At that moment, he thought of his teacher, who used the same Flying Thunder God Technique but always fell just short.

After a long pause, Obito spoke up: "After this failure, we can no longer take action. If Uchiha Izumi runs into trouble, they will inevitably suspect us."

Black Zetsu fell silent.

At that moment, he thought of another solution, although it was not a good option, but there was no other way.

He glanced at Obito.

Within the Akatsuki organization, it's no longer just Nagato who's in trouble.

Including Obito, perhaps...

The problem lies in Rin Nohara's death and the cursed seal inside her heart.

"Wait a minute..."

Black Zetsu frowned and continued, "Uchiha Kumo simply hasn't experienced the darkness of this world yet. The four great ninja villages are already preparing their forces, and they're not targeting the dormant Akatsuki."

Upon hearing this, Obito asked, "Should we provoke them a little? Onoki and Rasa aren't exactly fearless."

Black Zetsu shook his head slightly: "No need. Uchiha Kumo has already begun to guard against us, and the four great ninja villages might not be so cowardly either."

……

I can't take it anymore, it's past 3 o'clock.

I'm begging for monthly votes, the double votes end on the 7th.

So... this failed author is begging for help!
