Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 290 It's Not Clean

Three years later, Konoha, Ninja Academy.

Early in the morning, the graduating students arrived at the classroom.

Two or three familiar people sat together and immediately began discussing class assignments.

They, who were already over twelve years old, knew very well that class assignments were related to the upper limit of a ninja's future achievements.

Ninja academies only teach theoretical knowledge. The truly useful skills are chakra extraction and the Three Body Techniques. The real learning of ninjutsu comes from the instruction of Jonin after class division.

It was from here that the gap truly widened between commoners and clan ninjas.

Secret techniques, bloodline limits, clan-inherited ninjutsu, genjutsu...

These techniques, which can become a ninja's trump card, can only be learned by ordinary ninjas after they become genin, from their supervising jonin.

"Sasuke, do you think we might be grouped together?"

As Naruto spoke, his gaze drifted to Hinata, who had been standing nearby, and he asked, "How about... the three of us apply to be in the same class?"

Erzhuzi, with his hands crossed and head propped up, was engrossed in showing off. He looked around at his classmates and said, "If we're talking about ability, only you and I are in the same class."

Hinata blushed slightly under Naruto's gaze and could only murmur softly, "Naruto-kun... I... I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with you..."

The shy words had barely left her lips.

"Buzz..."

There were no hand seals or chakra bursts, but a powerful eye force suddenly appeared on Hinata, instantly freezing Naruto and Sasuke in place.

At this moment, Hinata's Byakugan eyes were gleaming with a sky-blue light...

"Um!"

Hinata covered her eyes with her hands in pain, but the force of the fetal movement still swept around her.

A few seconds later, the fetal movement of the Reincarnation Eye ended, and all the pupil power dissipated into the surroundings.

"Gulp."

Sasuke stared at Hinata in disbelief, swallowing hard.

Such power... can't keep up?

It's us who can't keep up with you, isn't it?

"Hinata! Hinata..."

Naruto quickly helped her up to prevent her from falling. As he called out, Hinata opened her eyes again, but the blue light had disappeared.

"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun, I made you worry."

Naruto scratched his head and chuckled, replying, "I'm glad you're alright. Was that... the ultimate power of the Byakugan?"

Hinata nodded, glanced at the stunned classmates around her, and could only stand up again and bow in apology.

In March, because I turned twelve, and the person in the R&D department had already perfected the technology, this accident happened today.

Ino, who was sitting in the back row of the classroom, had just come to her senses and nudged Sakura next to her with her elbow: "Hinata's power just now... was terrifying!"

Sakura nodded stiffly: "I almost fainted just now, but those blue eyes are really beautiful."

Ino sighed, looked around, and finally her gaze settled on Shikamaru: "I don't know how the team assignments are done. I've given up hope on my teammates; I'll just be happy as long as the Jonin instructors are decent."

Upon hearing this, Sakura leaned closer mysteriously and whispered in Ino's ear, "I'll tell you a secret. I was so nervous last night that I couldn't sleep, so I was late and almost missed school. But that's why I found out that person was here when I entered the school."

???

That sir?

Seeing her friend's puzzled expression, Sakura leaned closer and said, "It's Lord Yun! I saw him come with the Hokage. How about it? Aren't you excited?"

Ino froze for a moment, then stood up abruptly after a long pause.

Ignoring Sakura's surprise, he left his seat and ran to Shikamaru's side.

"Wake up, wake up! Hurry up, I need to ask you for a favor."

"yawn……"

After letting out a big yawn, Shikamaru looked at Ino with sleepy eyes: "What? Is something wrong?"

Ino asked her close friend, a woman from a long-standing family, "Kumo and the Hokage just arrived at the school together. Do you think there's any possibility that we could...?"

???

Shikamaru rubbed his eyes and snapped out of his daze.

Brother Yun is here too?

That's right. This year's graduates are different from previous years. They are basically all from middle-class families in the village.

As Yun, who is basically confirmed to be the fifth generation, naturally needs to cultivate his own strength in this generation.

"Shikamaru, Shikamaru!"

Ino's voice brought Shikamaru back to his senses.

He then turned to Ino and said, "It's not appropriate for you to call him by his first name like that. Even if you like him, you should use honorifics."

Ino frowned, then twisted two fingers together: "It feels a bit strange to call you Lord Yun. By the way, you haven't answered my question yet."

Hearing this, Shikamaru sighed: "That's possible. After all, the Ino-Shika-Cho clans have always stood together, and for various reasons, mid-level clans often listen to the advice of the Nara clan, so..."

Ino quickly asked, "Is it even possible? I was just thinking that if... Brother Yun could become our instructor Jonin, then..."

Seeing that she didn't finish her sentence, Shikamaru quickly added, "Then you can seize the initiative and date the teacher, right?"

These words made even the usually carefree Ino blush, and she retorted defiantly, "The strongest fighter in the entire ninja world, with power that has already surpassed the upper limit of a ninja, don't you want to become Brother Yun's disciple?"

Shikamaru rubbed his forehead and replied, "Although I've always thought being a ninja is a troublesome thing, I'd still be very happy to become the disciple of the next generation's God of Ninja."

At this point, Shikamaru's gaze finally settled on Hinata in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head again: "That display of power just now... there happen to be three people in our class who are quite special."

special?

Shikamaru continued, "I only learned bits and pieces from my dad occasionally. In short... Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata are special."

After saying all that, Shikamaru lay down on the table again and went to bed early, completely ignoring Ino's incessant chatter beside him.

Shikamaru, despite having his eyes closed, was not asleep.

If Brother Yun comes to the Ninja Academy at this time, it is very likely that he will become the Jonin instructor for this year's students.

After all, this year's session is also special.

If Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata weren't available, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio would be the best political choice.

But now... perhaps the higher-ups want to assemble the strongest class? Or perhaps there are some things inside that they don't know about.

……

In the last row of the classroom, two students wearing masks were sitting quietly.

There was no discussion, nor any emotional outburst.

After a long pause, Shino looked at Torane beside him and said, "Now that we're in different classes, I should be able to make more friends."

Qu Gen's gaze shifted to the front row: "That power just now... was very strong. Your insects should have sensed it too, right?"

Shino nodded: "But it seems Hinata can't control herself yet, which isn't necessarily a good thing for us at our age."

As Shino spoke, he looked at Torane, whose neck was completely covered, and said, "If we could be in the same class and work together, it would save a lot of time."

At this moment, Sai, who was in the front row, turned around and looked at the two of them: "Actually... before the class division, you didn't make many friends, but after the class division, there are only three of you."

"So, Shino... what if your teammates forget about you?"

Qu Gen sighed, "It's been years, and your mouth is still as foul as ever. You haven't learned your lesson after all those beatings. By the way, is your brother any better?"

Sai smiled and shook his head: "Brother... can no longer be a ninja."

Shino, standing to the side, said in a deep voice, "If I didn't know your situation, I would definitely think you were secretly enjoying yourself at a time like this."

……

"Bang!"

The noise drew everyone's attention to the stage, where Kiba Inuzuka stood with a cocky expression, holding his genin headband.

"The future Hokage is about to graduate. When I become Hokage, I'll make sure everyone in the entire village owns a dog!"

He had just finished expressing his ambition to become Hokage, but the next moment everyone in the audience turned back to their previous topic, completely ignoring the embarrassed guy on stage.

After Kiba quietly retreated, Karin, who was sitting to the side, teased, "Are you trying to compete with Brother Yun for the Hokage position? Be careful, or I'll slap you into the ground."

Kiba scratched his head: "Isn't being the Sixth Hokage enough? Anyway, I'll become Hokage someday!"

Karin smiled and pointed towards Naruto's direction: "Look. As for the Sixth Hokage, there are still two people competing over there. How about it? Can you beat them?"

Then, Kiba counted on his fingers: "Naruto doesn't need that red chakra, doesn't need shadow clones, doesn't need the Rasengan, doesn't need... never mind, I'll just be the Seventh Hokage."

"The seventh generation?"

Sai, who had just finished harassing the back row, reappeared here, smiling slightly. "With Lord Yun's power, dying young is naturally impossible. So... Kiba, are you sure you can live to see the seventh generation succeed him?"

With just one sentence, Ya was stunned.

After a long pause, he replied, "Sai, I really want to slap you to death right now!"

Akamaru, perched atop its head, let out two loud cries, indicating his agreement with the idea.

……

Meanwhile, in Iruka's office.

At this moment, Minato sat in Iruka's original seat, flipping through the previously planned class assignment documents.

Uchiha Yun, who was standing to the side, also had a copy in his hand.

"So... the Hokage was threatened?"

Minato smiled awkwardly: "It can't be called a threat. After all, it's normal for a mother to care about her son's important life events."

Yun glanced at the documents in his hand: "If our predictions are correct, then this soon-to-be-established Team 7 might be the strongest Team 7 in the entire ninja world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato smiled and nodded.

There were other meanings in Yun's words, and he understood them.

The bond between teacher and disciple is very important because of the transmission of techniques.

Based on this, no matter how high Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata grow, this bond will always exist.

"I believe you can live up to this trust."

Minato stood up and walked to Kumo: "We are different from the previous generation. You and I both have enough confidence in the next generation. The position of Hokage is actually quite tiring."

Yun smiled, put away the ninja records of Team 7, and casually asked, "How's Kakashi doing lately? It's been three years, and he's still wallowing in despair?"

Upon hearing this, Minato sighed: "The fact that the masked man was Obito was quite a blow to him. In that alternate dimension, Obito's words had a significant impact on him..."

"In the past three years, he's been visiting the memorial more frequently. I did originally intend to have him serve as a Jonin instructor for a while, but over the years his students have mostly turned them down. This time..."

Iruka, standing to the side, scratched his head: "I know a bit about Kakashi too. His test is indeed quite difficult for recent graduates."

Yun sighed.

Kakashi's problem stemmed from his appearance, which led to Obito's identity being exposed prematurely.

In the original story, as I remember it, Kakashi was able to rally in the final battle largely due to Naruto's influence.

but now……

"I'll go check on him after this is over. Anyway, the assessment starts tomorrow, so there's no rush."

Iruka checked the time: "Hokage-sama, Lord Kumo, it's time."

Minato nodded: "Then let's go. I'll say a few last words to them before I leave. If I don't go back soon, Shikaku will start nagging me."

Yun casually joked, "With Shikaku around, things are a bit easier. Otherwise, Hokage-sama, you'd probably have even more to do."

After saying this, the group left the office and headed towards the classroom.

Meanwhile, the classroom was in complete chaos.

Sakura and Naruto switched places, and Naruto was blocking Hinata's way, asking her with concern why her forehead was so hot and whether she was sick.

On the other side, Ya was already locked in combat with Sai, while Akamaru lay on top of his head, barking incessantly, ready to bite at any opportunity.

Shikamaru, who was almost asleep, was pulled up by Ino, while Choji was on the verge of exploding with rage because the last potato chip had been eaten.

At last……

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was the inertia of the original trajectory of the world line.

Sasuke, who had turned away to ignore Sakura, was just about to kiss Naruto, who had also turned back to ask Sasuke a question.

"squeak……"

The classroom door was pushed open, and Iruka froze. Minato and Kumo, who were watching this scene from behind, were also stunned.

Yun nudged Iruka: "Move aside, I can't see anything."

Minato looked over at these words, clearly with a "let's watch the show" attitude.

Yun pushed past Iruka and went inside.

At this moment, Naruto and Sasuke also realized what was happening and immediately turned their heads away.

then……

Sasuke kissed Sakura again, while Naruto kissed Hinata.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Yun walked over and looked at the four of them: "Your hobbies are indeed quite unique..."

"Bang."

With a soft sound, Hinata fainted, her face flushed and even slightly steaming.

Sakura, meanwhile, was fiddling with her thumb and muttering to herself, lost in her own world: "Sasuke-kun... just kissed me."

"Hinata!"

Naruto quickly tried to check on Hinata, but Yun stopped him with a single finger.

"Get out of here, don't cause trouble."

As Yun spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on Hinata's forehead, and Hinata's flushed face quickly returned to normal.

Relieved, Naruto immediately looked at Sasuke: "How did you suddenly appear behind me?"

Erzhuzi was clearly unconvinced: "It was clearly you who suddenly turned around. If it weren't for you, we..."

Sasuke clearly didn't know what to say next, and seeing Yun's mischievous grin, he simply lay down on the table like an ostrich.

Kiba, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer. He laughed loudly and pointed at Naruto: "You two are now getting yourselves into trouble. As for the Sixth Hokage position, I'll gladly accept it!"
