Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 274 Tsunade's Necklace

"Teacher, this is for you."

In my memory, a bouquet of flowers made of origami was held high by Xiao Nan at that time, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

"I think it's cute!"

Konan, dressed in her Frog Squad uniform, was smiling at Yahiko, who was looking at her with disdain.

Jiraiya remembered his three disciples' past very clearly.

Despite his own precarious situation, he still took in Nagato, who was nearly starving. At that age, he still maintained his greatest kindness.

Now that the root mission report has been deciphered, Jiraiya has a clearer understanding of many things, connecting the dots.

Initially, guided by the dream that Yahiko had once boasted about, the three formed the first Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain.

At that time, Akatsuki's goal was to stop the war through dialogue and prevent the Rain Country, which was caught between the three great powers, from falling into the quagmire of war again.

However, at that time, the leader of the Land of Rain was Hanzo the Salamander, a person whom the Land of Rain called a demigod.

While Hanzo was given the almost humiliating title of one of the Three Legendary Sannin during the Second Shinobi World War, it must be said that his presence helped to curb the conflict between the three great nations of the Land of Rain.

By that logic, the root of all problems lies with Danzo.

The report states that the earlier attempts to sow discord between Amegakure and Akatsuki to prevent peace talks have been successful.

This one sentence contains a great deal of inside information.

"Xiao Nan, it's time to go."

Uzumaki Sora's voice rang out, and Konan glanced at Jiraiya opposite her.

"Teacher. From that moment on, Nagato and I understood that as long as ninjas exist, there is no peaceful environment for survival like Yahiko's."

"You'd better watch yourself, teacher."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hand grabbed the vortex and the Flying Thunder God Technique was activated.

In an instant, the two disappeared from the conference hall.

……

With the Flying Thunder God technique's space-time ninjutsu, no one could stop Uzumaki Sora and Konan from leaving.

Even long after the two left, no one spoke in the conference room except for Onoki's panting.

Although the torment in the Tsukuyomi space lasted for seventy-two hours, under Uzumaki Sora's control, what Onoki experienced was far more than seventy-two hours.

At this moment, Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, and Darui, the Fifth Raikage, who were standing to the side, had only just recovered a little.

Mei Terumi clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Onoki, her voice trembling as she said, "It was just an aura, but I couldn't even make a move. This reaction... it's truly humiliating!"

Darui, standing to the side, frowned deeply: "After the battle at the Sea of ​​Ending, there are very few left in the entire ninja world who dare to attack him."

"We've all just become the village's shadow, and the pressure on us is immense. None of us know if taking action will bring destruction to our village."

"But no matter how you look at it... if we hesitate, we'll be unworthy of the title 'Shadow'!"

On the other side, Rasa glanced at the two young men and then sighed: "In my intelligence analysis, after the death of the Fourth Raikage, Kumogakure, under the constant pressure of Konoha, has lost its former domineering nature."

"Sunagakure has experienced this situation before, and has always been in this situation. Facing Uzumaki Sora, who is comparable to Uchiha Kumo, my thoughts are exactly the same as yours."

"Sunagakure cannot withstand his targeting. Kirigakure, which suffered a crushing defeat in the Blood Mist Village, and Kumogakure, which experienced a devastating defeat seven years ago, are equally vulnerable."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Terumi and Darui both looked at Rasa.

While he may be foolish in dealing with internal issues, it must be said that as someone who has experienced war and internal struggles to rise to the position of Shadow, he has a lot to see.

At this moment, Onoki, who had caught his breath, grabbed Minato's wrist: "With the four Kage as witnesses, Iwagakure agrees to the alliance of the five great ninja villages! Amegakure must go, and the intelligence gathering plan must proceed."

"The Naruto... that masked man and the black monster, along with nearly 100,000 enemies, are now on the other side..."

Minato nodded solemnly, while Onoki, who had been squinting, passed out with peace of mind.

Mental trauma is not easy to heal. The reason I'm holding on is because Uzumaki Sora hasn't left yet.

He could sense the killing intent emanating from Vortex Sky towards him, and he could also sense the threat posed by the current situation.

No one knew better than him that the smile in Uzumaki Sora's eyes in the Tsukuyomi space concealed contempt and murderous intent.

As an older generation of shadow puppeteers, they would only faint after revealing their analysis, which was done because they didn't trust the next generation, and then stopped the further mental exploitation.

Minato gently placed Onoki on the chair and stood up to look at the people present.

"Gentlemen...the war has begun!"

war!

The last time this term appeared was during the conflict between Kumogakure and Konoha.

At that time, it was none of their business, and apart from Yunyin, the other villages were all watching and waiting with the idea of ​​getting a bargain.

But now... the war is against the entire world!

"Sunagakure agrees to the formation of the alliance. But now, if they've broken up into smaller groups, and Amegakure doesn't have a single ninja left, how will we find them?"

Rasa looked at Minato as he spoke: "I'm not saying this because I'm afraid. Although I was indeed scared just now, if we lose, then the world loses."

Mei Terumi, who was standing nearby, asked, "From our previous conversation, did a split occur within Akatsuki? If so, it might actually be a good thing for us."

Darui shook his head slightly: "No. So far, we only learned about the Infinite Tsukuyomi final plan from the masked man and the black man during the Joint Chunin Exams."

"The Infinite Tsukuyomi requires the Ten-Tails, and becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki requires nine tailed beasts. With such a targeted objective, we could have set up a plan."

"But now... the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan is no longer Akatsuki's final plan. We need to be wary of the two who defected from Akatsuki, and we have no idea what Akatsuki's purpose is that still exists."

Minato nodded: "We don't have much information about the Akatsuki that still exists. But as it stands, they are definitely stronger than the two who defected."

"Uzumaki Sora and Nagato, who is suspected to be the leader and possesses the Rinnegan, are already giving us a headache."

Darui looked at Minato: "Hokage, Kumogakure and Konoha have been allied for a long time, so I would like to ask some questions that may be presumptuous."

He then turned his gaze to Uchiha Yun: "Without a doubt, Uchiha Yun is currently the strongest fighter. So, are you confident that you can hold off those two?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "According to the known information, Nagato, who is suspected to be the leader of Akatsuki, possesses the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths. We do not know what abilities these eyes have."

"Given his current leadership position, we suspect that he may be stronger than Uzumaki Sora, but this is just speculation."

"As for Uzumaki Sora, Iwagakure should have shared all the information about the Sea of ​​Ending with you. With the power of the Eight Gates' Death Gate, I am confident I can kill him."

At this point, Yun looked at Minato and said, "Originally, because of the information about Uzumaki Sora, I wanted to continue to delay, since there are special powers among the new generation. But now it seems that the other side does not want us to continue training them."

Yun's words instantly awakened Minato.

A unique force among the new generation.

Minato didn't mention the name to avoid being seen by the three Kage, but he knew exactly who it was.

Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata!

The chakra of Ashura and Indra possesses the ultimate power of the Byakugan...

No! Perhaps it is the Tenseigan that Uzumaki Sora mentioned.

These three special new generations will possess power that their predecessors could not match.

At this moment, Minato regretted letting Jiraiya investigate Amegakure's information.

From his previous conversation with Uzumaki Sora, it was clear that the other party knew about Amegakure's exposure, which is why he chose this time to break up his forces and declare war on the five great ninja villages.

Thinking of this, Minato subconsciously glanced at Jiraiya, who seemed somewhat lost in thought.

The master and apprentice looked at each other.

Jiraiya's usually nonchalant expression now carried a hint of despondency.

After all, he was a student I had spent two years with day and night. Because of the Rinnegan, I had always believed that Nagato would be the chosen one who would change the world in the future.

But now it seems that it may be his own disciple who will push this world into the abyss.

"Watergate..."

With a forlorn tone, Jiraiya spoke, "I want to go find them..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked over.

Looking for them?

That woman just now...

And then there's Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan...

As a former teacher, was I trying to persuade them to turn over a new leaf?

Judging from that woman's attitude just now, she didn't seem to care about feelings at all!

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the conference room door was slammed open.

The silence was broken by the arrival of several people filing in.

With his head down, Kai kicked out, heading straight for the first figure he saw: the unconscious Onoki.

"Bang!!"

With a loud bang, he instantly appeared and caught Kai's attack, which had already opened the door, with one hand.

Yun said dejectedly, "You rushed in with your head down. If this kick of yours goes through, Iwagakure will have to start selecting the Fourth Tsuchikage."

Upon hearing the sound, Kai stopped exerting his strength. Itachi, who followed closely behind him, asked in a deep voice, "Have they already left?"

Kakashi, standing beside him, had already revealed his Sharingan. After looking around, he said, "Is it Teacher's Flying Thunder God Technique again? This ability is truly wicked..."

He didn't finish his sentence, clearly realizing he had made a slip of the tongue.

Tsunade, who was last to enter, looked at everyone, her gaze settling on Onoki: "Is he too old to be stopped? He only jumped around a couple of times before giving up?"

Minato replied with a wry smile, "We should treat the Tsuchikage as soon as possible. He was hit by Uzumaki Sora's Tsukuyomi, and the mental damage is severe."

Vortex Void?

The appearance of this name caused the others to slightly narrow their eyes.

Tsunade then looked at Minato and said, "Of all the Anbu and ninja in the entire Hokage Building, eight are dead, twelve are unconscious, and eighteen are slightly injured."

Minato was stunned by what he heard.

His hands clenched into fists in an instant!

Perhaps it was the illusion brought about by that transaction ten years ago, but Minato always believed that Uzumaki Sora had special feelings for Konoha.

Although this illusion was discarded after the battle at the Sea of ​​Ending, it seems that I still have a sense of wishful thinking, and the subconscious belief that Uzumaki Sora will not kill me has affected me!

"As Hokage, to have the Hokage Building breached by the enemy. This is a disgrace to the Kage, and a disgrace to Konoha!"

Minato slightly raised his head: "Everyone, I will personally go to Amegakure. It concerns the future of the entire world, and I hope that you will all spare no effort in doing so."

As he finished speaking, Minato turned to Itachi: "Furthermore, the joint investigation team will continue. The team leaders and headquarters personnel will be selected based on suitability, regardless of which village they come from!"

Finally, Minato looked at Jiraiya.

"teacher……"

After sighing, Minato said, "Just like last time, I know I can't stop you. But I need to cast the Flying Thunder God Technique on Master, and have the messenger frog make emergency contact."

"If the other party shows any intention to make a move, the communication frog will communicate in reverse, and I will bring you back, teacher."

Jiraiya remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.

But in fact, at this moment he was determined to obtain information about Nagato's Rinnegan, even if he couldn't succeed.

This is the consequence of the choices I made. Although I have no regrets, I will do my best to steer the future in a positive direction, even at the cost of my life.

"Keep my spell."

Yun's voice drew everyone's attention.

Then Yun smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. This is indeed dangerous for you, but it doesn't mean anything to me."

"Just like that guy could leave at any time, so can I, even if I'm with someone else."

"And if Uzumaki Sora and Nagato were together, perhaps I could try to take them down in one go. After all, that was part of our initial plan, wasn't it?"

Minato thought for a moment and nodded.

Meanwhile, Tsunade had just stabilized Onoki's mind and stood up after lowering her hands from the spell.

He glanced at Jiraiya, then at Yun, and after a moment's thought, walked over.

When it came to Yun, it placed its hands behind its neck.

Suddenly, an unusual curve came into view.

Tsunade removed the necklace from her neck and handed it to Yun: "This belongs to my grandfather. It contains immense energy. I think it should be of some use to you, and only you can wield it."

Seeing this, Jiraiya scratched his head and, true to his nature, remarked, "This isn't a good sign, Tsunade. If I die, I'll come looking for you in the middle of the night."

Tsunade turned to Jiraiya and said disdainfully, "If you don't want to die again, you can try."

Seemingly recalling a certain experience, Jiraiya unconsciously swallowed.

At that moment, Yun accepted the necklace; the green ore contained a tremendous power.

In my memory, this power once even resealed the rampaging Naruto, and its color seems similar to the Grell Stone.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

"And at this time, it's not even certain whether Nagato is still in Amegakure."
