Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 30 Jiraiya Returns to the Village

On the streets of Konoha, Jiraiya and Minato were talking about something.

While there was still some time, Minato began to talk about what happened nearly two years ago. Compared to the Third Hokage, Minato trusted Jiraiya much more.

After going through all the details, Minato expressed his doubts: "It seems that the so-called information exchange has allowed Uzumaki Sora to obtain not only my series of tactics, but also some of the First Hokage's power."

An intelligence exchange, or another dimension?

Jiraiya's expression was very solemn. As a disciple of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he might not be fully aware of the First Hokage's power.

But the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, standing before him was his disciple, possessing the Flying Thunder God Technique (Stage 1 & 2), near-invisible reflexes, and one of only two space-time ninjutsu talents in Konoha to date.

Adding to the power of the first generation, it seems that the person called Uzumaki Sora has reached an unbelievable level of power.

"Where's the magic?"

Jiraiya's question startled Minato, who then replied, "Although I don't know what he ultimately chose, it seems he didn't master Sage Mode."

The only good news is that the magic arts haven't been mastered.

However, Jiraiya and Minato shared the same question at this moment: the power of the First Hokage.

If that incredible but real information exchange could even communicate with the Pure Land, then why was the First Hokage willing to make the trade?

Seeing Jiraiya's grave expression, Minato said apologetically, "Back then... because of Kushina... and the Nine-Tails, so..."

Jiraiya sensed the hesitation in Minato's words; he knew this disciple very well. Although he bore the responsibilities and duties of Hokage, he valued his family even more.

"No explanation is needed. Whether it's the Nine-Tails or your life or death, it's a huge loss for Konoha. In fact, if the Nine-Tails were released, the loss to Konoha would be immeasurable."

Jiraiya sighed and said in a comforting tone, "Besides, Uzumaki Sora may not have any ambitions. According to the information you provided, he seems to have goodwill towards Konoha, but he is not very friendly to those in the higher-ups."

friendly?

Minato scratched his head. During the orphanage incident, Uzumaki Sora probably wanted to kill Danzo, right?

"Actually, it's not just the two advisors and Danzo; he seems to have quite a few opinions about the Third Hokage as well. Kushina and I don't really know much about what happened with the Uzumaki clan back then, Sensei..."

After a moment's thought, Jiraiya replied, "The sudden death of the Second Hokage led to Yuan Fei being appointed to the position in a time of crisis, but the Third Hokage did not immediately assume the position. Due to my age, I was unaware of many things during that period, but the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan certainly shows that Konoha failed to fulfill its obligations as an ally."

The Land of Whirlpools was destroyed too long ago, and it's clear that the previous generation wouldn't have recorded such events.

That was when Kushina had just arrived in Konoha. She possessed a highly sensitive personality, was a person from a fallen kingdom, and was constantly on the move.

……

The two stopped in front of Jiraiya's residence. Jiraiya smiled and said, "You've been out with me for so long, Kushina might think I took you on a field trip. Let's go back now."

Minato replied smugly, "I left a Flying Thunder God kunai downstairs just now, no problem. How long do you plan to stay before leaving, Master?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin: "I'll probably stay for a few days. I plan to go to Mount Myōboku to inquire about Uzumaki Sora's problem."

Minato nodded: "So you want to ask the Great Toad Sage for a prophecy? That's certainly a way; I forgot about that before."

Jiraiya replied, "The Great Toad Sage's prophecy cannot be predetermined. I was just asking to see if there were any other prophecies besides the Child of Destiny."

"By the way, do you have any photos of Uzumaki Sora? I can keep an eye out for him while I'm out here. His return this time was partly due to him."

"In the past two years, the name 'Red Flash' has made quite a name for itself in the black market. Basically, all the intelligence in the five great ninja villages knows that it is your space-time ninjutsu."

Minato gave a wry smile: "I see. Recently, some of the plans from Kumogakure have stalled. It seems the reason is that Uzumaki Sora's activities in the black market have made Kumogakure think there's something wrong with us."

Jiraiya thought for a moment and replied, "The Cloud Village may not be so simple. As far as I know, in the years since the Third Shinobi World War, they seem to have developed a great interest in secret techniques and bloodline limits."

After a moment's thought, Minato nodded: "I understand."

Minato then took out a booklet containing all known information about Uzumaki Sora, including the existence of an information exchange.

Seeing Jiraiya take the booklet, Minato said goodbye, "Kushina will be worried if I stay out with you for so long, so I'll head back now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato disappeared into the street.

Jiraiya smiled, took the booklet, and returned to his residence.

Although he was not in the village most of the year, Jiraiya, as one of the Legendary Sannin, had a residence that was always vacant, and Minato would often pay someone to clean it.

……

After washing up, Jiraiya froze the moment he opened the information on Uzumaki Sora.

"M...Hiko?"

Muttering to himself in shock, Jiraiya finally noticed the difference when his gaze fell on that head of red hair.

It's not just the hair; many subtle details are also different.

Does Sora Uzumaki look a lot like Yahiko? But Yahiko doesn't have red hair, nor is he a member of the Uzumaki clan.

Jiraiya thought of his three disciples from the Land of Rain, wondering how they were doing now.

Minami must be very pretty by now, right? Has she confessed to Yahiko yet?

Is Nagato able to control his power now?

How far have they come in pursuit of their dreams?

Perhaps I should make a trip to the Land of Rain. Regarding this Uzumaki Sora, it's necessary to find Yahiko and ask him if he has any cousins ​​or anything like that.

……

In the Uchiha clan compound, Yun looked at the moon outside the window.

If we could obtain Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed by the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei, as a medium, and work hard, we might be able to achieve our goal in one step.

Putting aside the idea of ​​being ambitious but lacking practical skills, Yun began to ponder what to do next.

You can go to Amegakure for two months to slowly train. By then, your earth and water chakra nature changes will be almost complete. Combined with the yang attribute of the Sage Body, you can start experimenting with that technique.

Two months later, the information exchange opened for the third time. Whether it was the Rinnegan or Obito's Kamui depended on how well the clones performed.

……

I'm begging you to read it! I'm on the recommendation list, I can't let it end in one round! *crying*
