Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 316 Do you also want to dance?

In the past, Uchiha Kumo and Uzumaki Sora fought a battle, and the final blow sank a corner of the border of the Land of Fire, thus forming the Sea of ​​the End that exists today.

This battle is also the origin of the title of the strongest ninja in the Uchiha Cloud Ninja World.

but now……

The same spot was filled by a battle between two people, one of whom was not Uchiha Yun.

If the person who fought Uzumaki Sora hadn't died, there would have been one more person among the strongest top-tier fighters in the ninja world.

Konoha currently knows nothing about this person; the only thing they know is that he and Uzumaki Sora are not on the same side.

In the Hokage's office, all the Jonin had their brows furrowed.

Having already become Jonin, they were well aware of the impact such a force would have on the current ninja world order.

The establishment of the joint search force of the five great ninja villages was precisely to find the 100,000 combatants that were discovered in the northern part of the Land of Iron.

Meanwhile, the Akatsuki organization, also operating in the shadows, occasionally carries out assassination missions against various major powers and villages.

The reason why these two sides are hiding in the shadows is largely due to Uchiha Kumo.

Because of their fear of the strongest ninja in the world, and because of their fear of the final blow from the Eight Gates' Death Gate in the Sea of ​​End, this delicate peace has come to be.

The sudden appearance of top-tier combat power, if it survives, could very well disrupt this balance.

"The joint investigation team needs to be expanded, the security forces near the village are now available, and the Hyuga clan also needs more members to join."

Minato then turned his gaze to the Hyuga clan.

As the representative, Hyuga Hizashi bowed slightly and replied, "Most of the branch family's forces are currently outside, and my brother is already mobilizing the remaining portion."

Minato pondered for a moment: "We'll discuss the Hyuga clan later. As for the Jonin teams, the reconnaissance Jonin will be reorganized and joined the Joint Investigation Unit."

As he spoke, Minato looked at the cloud and said, "With the cloud here in Konoha, neither the Akatsuki nor those white monsters dare to come to Konoha. The village's remaining forces have been reduced to the level of the alert line."

"Understood!" ×N

……

After Kakashi, Asuma, and the others left, Yun casually found a chair and sat down.

At this time, besides Yun, only Minato, Shikaku, and Hyuga Hizashi remained in the office.

"There aren't many people left in the main Hyuga clan. As for the branch family, since Tokuma's Caged Bird Seal has been lifted, a group of people have been waiting..."

Waiting?

Hiashi's words made Yun smile: "So they can't wait any longer? Because a Tokuma emerged from the branch family, they all want to erase the curse mark on their foreheads, right?"

At this moment, Minato raised his hand, stopping Yun from saying anything more.

As his power grew stronger, Yun no longer had anything nice to say to his family.

Although it wasn't specifically targeted at Hizashi, as a member of the Hyuga clan, this situation would inevitably make Hizashi feel somewhat aggrieved.

Minato continued, "Regarding the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Seal, Kushina contributed to the research and development department. The new sealing technique is easier to erase and inscribe compared to the Caged Bird Seal."

"Tell everyone in the branch family that the seal will be placed when they leave the village to carry out a mission, and the seal will be lifted when they return to the village and submit a mission report."

"The sealing technique will no longer be controlled by the main family, but will be jointly controlled by the head of the main family, the head of the branch family, and the Hokage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hijiri was stunned.

Then he asked, "Has it been successful? It's been over three years. With this sealing technique, the entire Hyuga branch family is willing to join the Joint Investigation Team."

Yun glanced at Hizashi: "Tell those people that this near-coercive behavior will only happen once. Tokuma is my disciple, but not all members of the Hyuga branch family are my disciples!"

"If we use all of our once-a-day power on you, and the vortex seizes an opportunity, do you think you can withstand it?"

"If there's a next time... it's not impossible for the Hyuga branch family to return to its original state."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hizashi stood up and bowed ninety degrees to Yun and Minato.

When he raised his head, his eyes were already bloodshot.

He hadn't expected that the Hokage would keep him here to talk about this.

In recent years, the faction that insisted on the Caged Bird Seal, which had been gradually weakened and suppressed, has been gradually brought down by the combined efforts of several parties.

Removing the curse from the caged bird was something that could be done at any time. But the higher-ups remained silent.

At that moment, Rissashi understood...

Uchiha Yun had said long ago that for the branch family members who were still growing, being a caged bird was sometimes not a restriction but a protection.

Without the caged bird, the Hyuga branch family members who go out on missions will be targeted, which will greatly increase the probability of their Byakugan being dug out.

However, the curse mark on the caged bird is not simple; both erasing and engraving involve a series of complicated procedures.

The original plan was abandoned after Hinata's eyes shocked everyone with their power.

Because such power would be coveted by Akatsuki, the other side, or even the five allied ninja villages.

That was a power that surpassed the limits of human capability; even the First Hokage, who was once known as the God of Shinobi, could not match such power.

No one has the power to resist this temptation.

"The Hyuga branch family will always be the Hyuga of Konoha, and the Hyuga under the Hokage's command!"

Having made a promise that might last for decades, Hyuga Hizashi, with bloodshot eyes, left the office with Minato's permission.

Yun sighed, "So the struggle between the clan and the Shadow has never stopped. The Shadow's power needs to be checked and balanced, but the clan's interests must never outweigh the village's..."

"Seriously, Hokage, you need to take care of your health. The longer you work hard, the longer I can play."

Minato, standing to the side, chuckled, "You want to play around for a few more years, while I want to retire early. In that case, who will become Hokage?"

As soon as they finished speaking, both of them turned their gazes to Shikaku.

Shikaku, who was being closely watched, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Become Hokage? How could that be?

Wait a minute... these two guys are obviously just playing around!

"The Fifth Hokage of Konoha personally intervened, only to be smashed into countless pieces by a falling meteorite. If you don't want this kind of thing to spread among the Five Great Nations, I don't mind..."

Yun waved his hand: "Just kidding... But if the Fourth Hokage retires, Shikaku, you'll have to continue helping me. At the very least... you can only retire after your son Shikamaru grows up."

Shikaku retorted irritably, "Both generations have been exploited for labor? You Kage, you really have it easy!"

Minato, standing to the side, said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's all thanks to Shikaku that Kushina was finally dealt with. Otherwise, I'd probably be living in the Hokage Building."

"Ahem!"

Shikaku coughed, then took out a document: "We need to speed things up regarding the growth-oriented missions for Class 7. The transition to D-rank missions is complete; now we need to assign some more challenging missions."

Yun nodded: "The growth rate of the three little devils needs to be accelerated. I will leave a shadow clone here in the village. When I need to return quickly, I can release it to notify me."

Minato's eyes held a hint of worry: "Team 7's biggest problem remains their physical strength, whether it's Nine-Tails Mode, Mangekyou Sharingan, or even the power of Hinata's eyes..."

"But the best way to improve one's physical endurance is to increase it with age. Wouldn't doing this... be a bit like forcing growth?"

Yun replied, "That's definitely something to consider; the speed won't be fast. Also, Naruto's Sage Mode still requires training at Mount Myōboku."

"After some time... I will complete a transformation based on their power."

……

Three months later, near Kumogakure.

A pool of pitch-black liquid overflowed from a crevice in the rock, coalescing to form a monster covered in black.

Black Zetsu glanced at the Hidden Cloud Village not far away, whose barriers and security forces remained unwavering.

"With the corpses of the Two-Tails, the Eight-Tails, and the Gold and Silver Brothers, the security forces are so strong that the safety of the Jinchūriki will inevitably be more carefully protected."

In mid-air, a spatial vortex appeared.

After Obito stepped out, he said, "The arrangements at Sunagakure are complete. Kisame will lead the reanimated First Hokage to attack on time. As for mobility, that will be provided by the reanimated Second Hokage."

"Just to be on the safe side, no one's will has been awakened. But this will greatly reduce the fighting power of the resurrected warriors."

Black Zetsu replied, "Whichever side Uchiha Yun supports, that side will end the battle quickly. This will remain true even if they regain their consciousness."

"Now my only worry is that Uzumaki Sora, who knows all the information, will choose to oppose one side."

On the big tree, the first half of White Zetsu emerged: "Let's call Madara out first. If he has a different opinion, we'll all be thrown into the cesspool."

After glancing at White Zetsu, Obito formed hand seals.

Then, from a coffin that was then summoned, the figure of Madara Uchiha appeared.

"Taking advantage of the time difference with Orochimaru, we used the Impure World Reincarnation in advance, but if Uzumaki Sora seals our souls and takes them away, we will have no way to save them."

Black Zetsu looked at Obito and said in a deep voice, "We have to finish this quickly. It's not just about the seal; if Orochimaru uses the Impure World Reincarnation again after it's released, we won't have a chance either."

At that moment, Madara Uchiha, who was inside the coffin, also opened his eyes.

Unlike last time, when he thought it was a resurrection, Madara Uchiha looked at his body and stepped out of the coffin.

"Impure World Reincarnation? Black Zetsu, it seems the plan has taken a major turn. Is it a descendant of that Uzumaki clan from last time?"

Black Zetsu replied, "It's not just Uzumaki Sora, but also Uchiha Yun from Konoha, whose body has shown signs of atavism for some unknown reason."

"Without emotional stimulation, he directly reached the kaleidoscope state from a state where he had never opened his eyes, and then, without changing his eyes, he directly reached the state of eternal eyes."

"And now... I estimate that he has already developed the Rinnegan, just like you, and perhaps even more."

Not only that?

Uchiha Yun?

Madara Uchiha's gaze turned slightly serious.

The power of that vortex was already greater than the power he had when he activated his Rinnegan.

And did a descendant of the Uchiha clan in Konoha also reach that level? The level of the Sage of Six Paths, power beyond human limits.

"Six Paths level power is impossible to achieve without the chakra of all nine tailed beasts. There is a hidden source of power within these two people's bodies."

Obito, standing to the side, said, "Uchiha Yun is a bloodline reversion, while Uzumaki Sora has a special alternate dimension for information exchange, which can replicate all abilities and bloodlines."

"Ban... our current situation is not safe. We could be found and killed by them at any time."

Once those words were spoken, even Madara Uchiha, who reveled in battle, was speechless with dissent.

Even if one is resurrected using the Rinnegan technique and possesses the Rinnegan, there is still a difference in the essence of life.

"How many tailed beasts have been captured?"

"Three."

Ban closed his eyes.

Three is far from enough. To reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths, the chakra of the nine tailed beasts must be channeled into the body of the Ten-Tails in sequence.

The Ten-Tails' hull, the Gedo Mazo, and his own resurrection both require the Rinnegan.

"This is Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village), so tell me your plans..."

……

Then, Black Zetsu revealed his plan.

Madara frowned: "There's no major problem, but the White Zetsu clones need to keep a close eye on the Akatsuki. Without the Rinnegan, even if all the Tailed Beasts are gathered, they won't reach that legendary level."

Obito hesitated, "The Akatsuki must have Uzumaki Sora's Flying Thunder God Technique. Even if we take advantage of their absence, we still won't be able to achieve our goal."

Madara Uchiha looked at Obito: "The Flying Thunder God Technique cannot travel through different dimensions. Your Mangekyou Sharingan ability is precisely what counters this."

"With Black Zetsu's restraints and my power, the time difference isn't impossible to achieve."

At this point, Madara Uchiha turned to look at Kumogakure: "We need to discuss the rest in detail. For now, let's execute the plan you originally set out."

"If we want a quick victory, then let's do it this way!"

The next moment, Madara Uchiha's figure vanished from the spot.

Soon, a massive Susanoo appeared outside Kumogakure.

Heaven Shocking Star!

Under the influence of gravity, a huge meteorite fell straight down towards Kumogakure.

Watching this scene from a short distance away, White Zetsu remarked, "If that's the case, then even the corpses of Gold Horn and Silver Horn are gone?"

Black Zetsu's face was dark: "The opponent will definitely resist. The moment the barrier breaks, have your clones move to search immediately!"

Obito, standing to the side, watched the meteorite fall from the sky. Although he had learned about this scene from the information about White Zetsu, he was still shocked to see it with his own eyes.

A single strike could destroy a village.

Such terrifying power still couldn't defeat those two even more monstrous beings.

……

"boom!!"

Amidst the deafening roar, everyone in the Hidden Cloud Village suddenly felt the sky darken.

When they looked up again, everyone was nearly scared to death.

Disaster struck from the sky; a meteorite capable of covering the entire village fell from the sky, and flames engulfed its surroundings.

"What...what is this?!"

"Why did a meteorite suddenly appear? Quick! Stop it!"

"Report to Lord Raikage immediately! There's someone even more powerful than him!"

"Chakra Cannon! Quick! Bring it out!"

"It's too late! Use Lightning Release to pierce it!"

……

The meteorite falling from the sky plunged Kumogakure into panic and chaos in an instant, and no one could even tell whether it was man-made or just a natural disaster.

"roar!!!"

A tremendous roar drew everyone's attention.

Then, Yugito was seen to have fully transformed into a tailed beast, leaping up and standing on the circular rooftop.

"Yugito, I sensed a powerful chakra. This meteorite is not a natural disaster."

"Can the Tailed Beast Ball destroy it?"

"It's starting to coalesce, but there might not be enough time."

"Furthermore, if this is a ninjutsu, then Kumogakure cannot withstand it. Notify Konoha and send Uchiha Kumo."

"That guy... I understand!"

……

Countless chakra particles were rapidly converging in the mouth of the Two-Tails Matatabi.

At this moment, the wind pressure brought by the meteorite's descent has begun to affect the entire Hidden Cloud Village.

"boom!!!"

The Tailed Beast Ball, resembling a black sphere of light, shot into the sky, and a violent explosion and flames illuminated the sky above Kumogakure.

One by one, the pebbles fell, only to be shattered by the waiting Cloud Village ninja using Lightning Release.

However, the wind pressure still exists, and nearly half of the broken meteorites remain.

And behind it, an even larger meteorite crashed down.

"Bi-sama!"

"It's the adults here!"

"Lord Raikage has arrived too..."

……

Amidst excited shouts, Killer Bee unleashed the Ultimate form of the Eight-Tails.

The giant bull-headed octopus with its eight tails swept upwards, catching the first broken meteorite.

"Yukito! Continue!"

The next moment, the Tailed Beast Balls began to condense again in the mouths of the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails.

"Boom!!"

Compared to the Two-Tails, the Eight-Tails is obviously much more powerful.

With the two Tailed Beast Balls, the meteorite was finally completely shattered.

Killer Bee then used its eight tails to shatter all the small pieces of meteorite.

"Is she very capable?"

Under the influence of the Heavenly Meteor, Madara, in his Impure World Reincarnation form, had just recovered his body.

The next moment, they rushed into Kumogakure and took advantage of the chaos to arrive directly in front of the Two-Tails, Yugito.

A hand suddenly reached out, and the power of the Edo Tenseigan in its eyes suddenly erupted.

He pressed down on Yugito Matatabi's head and slammed it into the ground.

"boom!!"

"roar……"

A roar rang out, but then Susanoo materialized, and a blue blade fell down, slashing down.

"boom!!"

The ground cracked open, and the surrounding houses collapsed due to the tremors.

The two-tailed Matatabi, which had been smashed into the ground, reverted to its human form and was clearly on the verge of death.

"The first one."

Madara tossed it into Susanoo, and the next moment Susanoo brandished its long sword.

"Bang!"

The greatsword, enveloped in black lightning, was pressed down; the power was on a completely different level.

"So... do you want to dance too?"
