Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 256 Mountain Graveyard

Because its eyes were focused on the tip of its nose, Nine-Tails' eyes looked like a cross-eyed chicken, giving it a strangely comical appearance.

Feeling insulted, Nine-Tails angrily retorted, "What are you laughing at! Is this the time to laugh?"

The little nine-tailed fox suppressed its unrestrained laughter: "So you can't find some joy in life? Perhaps you've forgotten that the title 'nine-tailed fox' isn't a compliment."

"We are just tailed beasts. Although we possess powerful chakra, when we have consciousness, we are also individuals in this world."

"My other half, when you acknowledge humanity, if you can also gain the acknowledgment of a portion of humanity... then you will understand the smile I just gave you."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox's words left him frozen in place.

Over thousands of years, countless hatred and resentment have accumulated due to being deceived.

After becoming a nine-tailed fox spirit, the pride of possessing great power gradually turned into arrogance.

Immortal and powerful, humans are nothing more than reptiles.

This idea has intensified over thousands of years under the influence of negative emotions. Even if a few powerful humans occasionally manage to suppress it, the Nine-Tails knows that their lifespan is shorter than its own.

Even powerful figures like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were only sealed away for a short time, a mere nap compared to thousands of years.

but now……

But his own body told him another possibility.

The possibility of living in another way.

"I need to know about the boy that old man Rokudo mentioned. As for the other one... it's up to you!"

After finishing speaking, the arrogant Nine-Tails flung half of its body off the ground. The little Nine-Tails patted its bottom indifferently and then looked at Uzumaki Sora, who had been waiting.

Having gained the upper hand in the negotiations, the Nine-Tailed Fox will now take the lead.

"Red Hair, we've already reached an agreement. One issue is more serious than the other, and we'll use those two issues as bargaining chips."

Kong automatically ignored the other person's address, nodded, and replied, "Tell me about it."

Little Nine-Tails then said, "First point: I need to know where the person who resurrected Uchiha Madara is located."

"Secondly: Who was that blond-haired, blue-eyed boy who played with the tailed beasts, as the Sage of Six Paths described to us tailed beasts?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two tailed beasts waited for Kong's reply.

At that moment, Kong was also deep in thought.

Two pieces of intelligence, two chips.

First, this scoundrel didn't ask about the Akatsuki's headquarters, but rather about the person who resurrected Uchiha Madara.

The information from Konoha itself had already informed it that Akatsuki's ultimate goal was the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and that the masked man had once claimed to be Uchiha Madara.

Is that why you asked in a different way?

Although it was a bit clever, it also allowed him to put that idiot on the table.

Black Zetsu, as Kaguya Otsutsuki's will, and White Zetsu, as a product of the God Tree, have always existed solely to serve Kaguya.

Therefore, the 100,000 White Zetsu that were once produced must not be located below Amegakure. Even Obito believed that it was an accidental product of the Gedo Mazo based on Hashirama's cells.

A mountain cemetery.

As for the second point, this answer might allow Kurama to truly begin to accept Naruto.

The appearance of a perfect Jinchūriki might allow the progress of that so-called strongest scroll to advance a little further.

Thinking of this, Kong stretched out his hand.

Suddenly, a contract landed beside the two tailed beasts in the space.

"Confirm the transaction details and sign to make the contract effective. As a Tailed Beast, simply imprint your true name with your claws."

With the information in their minds, the two Nine-Tailed Foxes naturally understood the conditions for fulfilling the contract.

Immediately after the contract was established, it disappeared from the trading space.

Uzumaki Sora then spoke up, saying, "First point: the back of the Land of Iron, the Graveyard of Mountains."

"Second point..."

At this point, Sora looked at Kurama and said, "You guessed right. The boy that the Six Paths Elder told you about playing with the Tailed Beasts was Naruto."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two tailed beasts exchanged a glance and then disappeared into the space.

At that moment, Sora glanced at the frozen illusion not far away, and with a wave of his hand, he dispersed the arrogant Uchiha Madara.

Once again, the old toad of Mount Myōboku and the old man of the Six Paths observing the entire ninja world from the Pure Land...

This is really unsettling...

Gamamaru has lived for so long that he was able to foresee Naruto's future when he became sworn brothers with the Six Paths Elder.

During the trip to Mount Myoboku, the other party's words seemed to indicate that they were wary of him.

or……

Kong frowned slightly.

The appearance of Gamamaru is because the Divine Tree caused the whole world to become desolate, and natural energy was absorbed. As the native inhabitants, they naturally care about the environment of this world.

Humans... are perhaps just incidental.

During their last meeting, he hinted at this point in almost every word he spoke.

And the Six Paths Feather Robe...

Even now, the power of the old man in the haori robe is still unfathomable. Gamamaru once said that if he didn't know Sage Mode, he wouldn't stand a chance against Kaguya...

But simply being in the Pure Land and granting Naruto and Sasuke power was enough to achieve that level.

I'm afraid this old man isn't a good person! Is he full of lies?

……

Ten minutes ago, in Konoha.

Naruto's birthday party had ended, and his classmates had all gone home after playing around.

Hinata was the only one who was personally sent back by Minato.

On the coffee table, Minato poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yun: "I'm so sorry."

Yun nodded, took the teacup, and took a sip.

He knew perfectly well what he meant by "sorry".

Perhaps it was to prevent him from making deals with his clone, or perhaps it was for some other reason...

"Was Hiashi incredibly grateful for personally escorting his daughter-in-law back?"

Changing the subject, Minato said awkwardly, "I am indeed a bit surprised, but the whole village basically knows that the two kids have feelings for each other, and it's really bothering me..."

Yun smiled and said, "What's there to worry about? You should be happy that you found a wife at such a young age, right?"

Minato feigned anger and said, "The way you're saying it... is like Naruto not being able to find a wife in the future."

Yun glanced at Naruto, who was still unwrapping his gifts: "As the only son of the Fourth Hokage, it's not like he can't find a wife. But being able to find someone to accompany him in the future so quickly is also a kind of luck, isn't it?"

At this moment, Kushina, who had already washed the dishes in the kitchen, came out.

"Yun, I remember you're almost six years older than Naruto, right? Naruto will be ten years old today, and you'll be sixteen in a few months. Don't you want to consider it?"

This piqued Minato's interest as well.

In Konoha, there are ninjas who die alone.

But if this happens to Yun, it would be a huge loss for Konoha.

The phenomenon of bloodline atavism, something similar to a bloodline inheritance, can only occur in the cloud.

"Do you have someone you like? I can... share my experience!"

Yun glanced at Minato and her eyes twitched. Sharing experience? If it weren't for the old hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope, would you have found such a beautiful wife?

If it weren't for Kushina's sealing technique, even the secondary development of the Flying Thunder God Technique would be a problem.

Without the almost instantaneous Flying Thunder God Technique, without earning the title of Yellow Flash, the position of Hokage might not even be yours.

Ha ha……

At that moment, Kushina walked over and whispered, "I don't remember you having a lot of dating experience. Do you have a lot of experience?"

Uh!

Minato's breath hitched, and he quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no, I was just bragging in front of my juniors, bragging!"

Kushina snorted coldly, then looked at Yun and said, "Speaking of which, that girl seemed quite interested in Yun today!"

Minato paused for a moment, then remembered: "That's the daughter of the Ino family. Speaking of which, she'll be the next Ino-Shika-Cho."

Kushina teased, "Golden hair is really pretty. I haven't seen such a bold girl in a long time. Yun, how about you consider it?"

Yun rubbed her temples. "If you really do that, are you sure Haiyi won't beat me to death? That child is only ten years old. What are you thinking?"

Kushina smiled, feigning surprise, and said, "I do seem to have forgotten the child's age, but isn't it normal for kids to mature early these days? As for Inoichi, I'll probably have to fight him to the death."

Minato waved his hand, "It's alright, he definitely can't beat Yun."

Yun gave him a disdainful look: "I heard that the Hokage had a crush on someone back in school, right?"

I retorted, but it seemed to have no effect on the other party.

Minato nodded: "When we first met, Kushina had just transferred to Konoha..."

Without any hesitation, Minato and Kushina reminisced about the past.

Meanwhile, Naruto, who was still unwrapping gifts, sneaked over to eavesdrop.

After all, children are naturally curious about their parents' dating history.

"Dad, I will protect Hinata just like you protected Mom!"

Naruto, with his fists clenched, did indeed exude a certain imposing aura.

Kushina reached out and pressed her hand on Naruto's head: "So Naruto won't protect Mommy? If Mommy is also kidnapped by bad guys, who will Naruto save first?"

The age-old question has put Naruto in a dilemma, because in his heart, his mother is the most important person.

But if he keeps his word, Hinata will be his future wife. How can he have the best of both worlds?

However, just as Naruto was struggling with this decision, Kushina, Minato, and Kushina were all startled at the same time.

"The chakra of the Nine-Tails suddenly disappeared from my senses."

As Kushina spoke, she lifted Naruto's clothes, and the seal opened a crack. Just as expected!

Naruto, feeling the unusual sensation in his abdomen, asked in confusion, "Has Boss Fox been released?"

Minato ignored him and said to Yun, "It's started, but I didn't expect him to choose the Nine-Tails as his trading partner this time."

Yun nodded: "We didn't expect a tailed beast that was entirely formed from chakra. So their trading partners are not limited to people."

With a sigh, Minato waved his hand and said, "I was able to trade even the First Hokage who was in the Pure Land. As the Hokage, I was indeed careless."

Kushina, standing to the side, stared intently at the clock.

The next moment, the Nine-Tails' chakra reappeared instantly.

"Bang."

The little Nine-Tails, which had suddenly disappeared and then reappeared, plopped down on Shukaku's head. Before Shukaku could protest, it leaped up and dashed towards the clouds.

"Boss Yun! That's terrifying!"

"You have no idea what I just saw!"

"The mountains and fields are littered with corpses. That bastard Madara Uchiha summoned the husk of the Ten-Tails and then sealed and absorbed us, the nine tailed beasts who helped humanity fight back, one by one..."

"That was terrifying... I almost didn't make it back."

"That bastard, Uzumaki Sora... he... he said if I don't make a deal, he'll find a chance to completely eliminate me!"

The little nine-tailed fox wiped its eyes with its paw as it spoke: "As a subordinate, I'm certainly not the kind of fox who's afraid of death. Although I've lived for thousands of years, it's only in recent years that I've been able to eat a bite of meat and drink a sip of wine..."

"Boss, I really can't bear to part with you! Waaah..."

Beneath the vivid and expressive acting lies a mix of eight parts truth and two parts fabrication.

If Uzumaki Sora hadn't been a clone of himself, he might have actually been fooled.

Yun disdainfully pushed the tear-streaked Nine-Tails away, then handed it a cup: "Catch your tears, they're all chakra, you can replenish them by drinking them later."

These words made Little Nine-Tailed Fox pause for a moment, and her mind began to work quickly.

How could my excellent acting skills not have been enough to get away with it? Where exactly did I go wrong?

It must be that stupid fox with the half-body!

Yes, that's it!

"Boss, um... I have two secrets I'd like to know?"

Yun sneered, "Oh? Not bad at all. You guys, with only chakra, actually managed to sell two chips?"

"Why……"

Minato sighed, "Yun, I'm also responsible for not instructing them properly. Let's hear their details about the transaction first."

The Nine-Tails nodded repeatedly: "The Hokage is right. We are just small tailed beasts. That kind of big scene is too terrifying. Otherwise, why would we compromise..."

Yun rubbed his temples: "Speak, what information?"

The Nine-Tails raised one claw: "First, the guy who was supposed to revive Uchiha Madara in the original future had his lair in the northern part of the Land of Iron, the Mountain Graveyard."

"second……"

When it came to the second point, the Nine-Tailed Fox realized that it couldn't raise both claws, because that would make the posture a bit wrong.

After a pause, the Nine-Tails withdrew its claws: "The second one: Naruto is the boy the Six Paths Elder mentioned, who played with the Tailed Beasts and brought about change to this world."

The Child of Prophecy?

In an instant, the word appeared in Minato's mind.

When Jiraiya received the prophecy from the Toad Sage at Mount Myōboku, it included the idea of ​​a child of prophecy.

Naruto?

Although the name itself conveyed hope, under these circumstances, does Naruto still have time to grow up?

Sleep, sleep, my life is more important.

It's 4:30, I can't take it anymore.

I'm begging for monthly votes and subscriptions. Thank you so much, everyone!
