Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 356 The Beginning of Change

The initial system of ninja villages, the establishment of Konoha, was based on the foundation laid by the two warlords of the Warring States period.

Aside from the conflict between the Senju and Uchiha clans, the other smaller clans in the Land of Fire didn't have much room to resist.

At that time, no clan in the entire Land of Fire could rival the Senju and Uchiha. Therefore, after the two sides reached an agreement, the founding of Konoha proceeded smoothly.

However, there are only two people who stand above the entire ninja world. The establishment of the four great ninja villages was more due to the oppressive atmosphere after the founding of Konoha.

If we don't change, we'll only be waiting to die.

Decades later, this trend of impending change seems to be coming again.

Onoki understood, Killer Bee understood, and even Gaara and Mei Terumi understood.

The residence of the Hidden Cloud.

Killer Bee was also at the window, gazing down at the streets of Konoha, which were now under martial law.

And in the place where he was sealed, the Ox-Demon also sensed the fluctuation of his emotions.

"Bi, what came to mind?"

"Ox-Demon, have you ever had your life controlled by someone else?"

"After being created by the old man, we tailed beasts didn't really feel any urgency, because even if we died, we would reassemble after a few years. Being sealed in a human body for nearly a hundred years wasn't too long for us either."

"However... the Eye of the Moon Project really frightened us. If we are devoured by the Ten-Tails, our consciousness will gradually disappear."

Killer Bee's gaze was grave: "Right now... I'm like a fish on a board, waiting for my fate."

"Gyuki. Uzumaki Sora's target isn't the Tailed Beasts. If I die, find a place to hide after you reassemble."

After exiting the sealed area within his body, Killer Bee looked at the two students behind him.

They didn't harbor much hatred, and the deaths of their elder brother and Darui meant they could direct their hatred towards Uzumaki Sora from the Akatsuki organization.

They will be fine; they will see the peace that comes with the power of strength.

"Teacher Bi... are you... are you alright?"

Karui asked somewhat hesitantly.

Omoi, standing nearby, turned the lollipop around and asked, "Is Konoha going to attack us? Suddenly stopping the Chunin Exams... does that mean we can't get back to Kumogakure? We...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Killer Bee's embrace.

"You two little devils, you'd better learn to compromise from now on!"

……

Ten minutes ago, in the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire.

When Vortex Sky, dressed in a black outfit with red clouds, swaggered in, the wary guards spotted him.

"Black background with red clouds... Dawn!"

"Red hair... How... How is this possible!"

"Uzumaki Sora! How could Uzumaki Sora possibly do it himself?"

"Isn't it always an assassination? How come it's happening so obviously? Could someone be in disguise?"

"Damn it! Sound the alarm!"

……

In an instant, a piercing sound resounded throughout the entire Daming Prefecture.

Just like a funeral hymn, the moment it started playing, the decadent nobles in the city were stunned into silence.

next second...

"Damn it! Quick! Notify Konoha!"

"Summon Uchiha Kumo! Have him come here immediately to protect us!"

"Isn't Uchiha Kumo supposed to be a fast jutsu user? And the Hokage too, hurry up!"

"Have the ninjas responsible for his protection hold him off until Konoha's reinforcements arrive!"

"Which two members of Akatsuki are here?"

"Only...only one person...Whirlpool Sora."

The appearance of this name instantly froze everyone at the party in place.

Vortex Void...

How could it be Vortex Sora?

Prior to this, Akatsuki's operations against various daimyo prefectures were all carried out in pairs, and were all assassinations.

"Bang!"

The table was slammed, and everyone looked over. It was the general from Daming Prefecture.

Have they sent a request for help to Konoha?

"We have already requested assistance from Konoha. With Uchiha Un's Flying Thunder God Technique, he should arrive very soon once the message is delivered."

"Yes, arrange for people to escort the daimyo and all the lords out of the daimyo's residence."

"clear!"

The subordinate who was kneeling on one knee vanished in an instant. The daimyo of the Land of Fire flicked open the folding fan in his hand, covering half of his face, and said, "With the general here, it's truly reassuring."

The general bowed and replied, "The Land of Fire must be different from the Akatsuki's targets, because in the entire ninja world, only Uchiha Kumo is capable of opposing Uzumaki Ku. From this perspective, it is not surprising that Uzumaki Ku appeared in person."

"Please make sure the daimyo is evacuated first. According to that guy's perception, the daimyo's refuge is not safe."

The lord nodded: "Then we'll have to rely on the general."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the subordinate who had vanished in an instant reappeared.

"General, Uzumaki Sora has set up a reverse barrier, guarded by his four shadow clones. Everyone... can't get out."

In an instant, everyone erupted in uproar again.

Immediately, some people couldn't sit still.

Those who can participate in such banquets are not fools, or rather, those who are still alive after being so wicked are all intelligent people.

Originally, I was hoping to evacuate with the daimyo, but now it seems far better to hide alone and wait for rescue.

Given that no one can leave, the Daimyo, being the pinnacle of all nobles, will inevitably be the Akatsuki's primary target.

When a group of people encounters a tiger, sometimes they don't need to run faster than the tiger, but only faster than their companions. Once the hunter arrives, they will be safe.

In an instant, the nobles, in complete chaos, rushed toward the door, and no matter how loudly the general behind them shouted, it was to no avail.

The military power of the Land of Fire is Konoha, and the shogun's duty is more about protecting the Daimyo's residence.

But clearly, no one thought he could stop Vortex Sky.

……

"In the past few years, only the daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire has not been completely cleaned up."

As he spoke casually, Sora Uzumaki's figure vanished from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared beside the group of guards.

"Buzz..."

With the Mangekyou Sharingan appearing, and under the continuous genjutsu, all the trembling guards collapsed to the ground.

Three of them suddenly had their chests burst open, spurting out blood.

"The soldiers of the Land of Fire are somewhat presentable, and the others didn't deserve to die, so they're alright."

As he spoke, Vortex Sora vanished from the spot once more, and the next moment he appeared in front of a mansion.

He reached out and knocked on the door. After what seemed like an eternity, a middle-aged man opened the door and bowed slightly: "Lord Kong."

Uzumaki Sora smiled. "You don't seem surprised by my arrival?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Since Lord Kong has chosen Konoha, he will naturally come in person."

With a double entendre, Uzumaki Sora realized that the guy in front of him was very smart and knew how much he could gain and how much he should give up.

This guy from the Land of Fire made a good choice.

It seems that after healing Nagato, his mind has matured considerably.

"Just stay home and wait, it'll be over soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uzumaki Sora, who hadn't even entered the room, instantly vanished.

Then...

First.

The mansion's gate was smashed open, and with a stretch of his hand, gravity erupted, causing the pile of gold and silver he sensed to burst through the secret chamber and arrive in front of the vortex.

"You've driven so many people to their deaths, amassed so much money, and then just piled it all up in that underground secret room without ever using it. Your daily life remains the same, the food, the lodging, the entertainment—what's the point?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with a full head of white hair walked out of the courtyard, knelt down on the ground, and bowed deeply to beg for forgiveness.

"All the money...not a single tael...not a single tael was spent...it's all here...it's all here, sir."

Reach out your hand, and a repulsive force erupts.

"boom!!!"

The entire mansion was razed to the ground, and the master and his wicked servants were all buried there.

Those whose crimes do not warrant death cannot survive in this mansion; only by assimilating into the corrupt can they live.

Then... the second, the third, the fourth...

The entire Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire can be said to embody all the diverse desires of humanity, so much so that even the so-called Seven Deadly Sins cannot encompass them all.

Of course, there are also some officials among them who are able to maintain their integrity.

Unfortunately, due to the long-standing brainwashing education in this world, they remain firmly loyal to the name of the Land of Fire.

For such a person, there is no other option but to let him die, without any hesitation.

Soon, one sin after another was pulled out of the dark earth by the vortex and exposed to the scorching sun. One mansion after another was destroyed by the overwhelming power, and all the decay of the past was buried.

Finally, Uzumaki Sora arrived at the central residence of the Daimyo Prefecture, which was also the tallest residence.

Upon entering, it was found to be completely empty.

Sensing the surroundings, I slowly walked to a room, went inside, and threw out the clutter.

"Come out. As the daimyo of the Land of Fire, hiding underground like a rat will only make you a laughingstock."

"Those who symbolized the highest power in the old era, even if they had no real power, still had to maintain a certain level of dignity."

After he finished speaking, there was still complete silence.

As Vortex Sora reached out and pressed down, the barrier that had been shielding his senses was instantly shattered.

"I don't... I don't want to go up there! That terrifying... terrifying thing is up there!"

"General! You are the general! You! Go and drive him away! Hurry! Hurry..."

"Order! Orders you to defeat him!"

……

The shielding barrier was broken, and a middle-aged man carrying the limp Daimyo of the Land of Fire emerged from the ground.

The middle-aged man looked over: "This barrier is extremely small, and its effect is even enough to block the detection of the Byakugan. How did you find us?"

Uzumaki Sora smiled: "Before these eyes, at least for now, no ninja world can hide their existence from them. You must have heard of the ultimate power of the Byakugan."

The general nodded, loosened his grip on the daimyo, and let him collapse to the ground.

"According to information from Konoha, you seem to know everything about this world."

Kong shook his head: "You can't say that. I just know many secrets about this world. My very existence will change all people and things."

The general slightly raised his head, looking directly at the vortex sky: "What will the Land of Fire become in the future?"

Kong smiled and said, "The center of the world."

Having received the answer, the general of the Fire Country's daimyo's mansion took his own life and collapsed to the ground.

Then, Uzumaki Sora's gaze fell upon the limp daimyo: "If I kill you, I'll have completed more than half of today's mission."

"don't want……"

After murmuring, he suddenly performed a full-body prostration.

"Lord Uzumaki Sora, what do you want? I can give you anything you want! The Land of Fire? You can have the Land of Fire too!"

"I...I just want to live, please let me live?"

"I promise... I promise I'll do whatever you say, whatever you ask me to do!"

"This way...this way will hardly convince the people! And...and Konoha too!"

"Uchiha Kumo from Konoha will be here soon. You...you're not afraid of him, but there's no need to, is there?"

"Let me do it! Let me live, and I can get Konoha to accept you as the new daimyo, allowing you to inherit this position legitimately and legally!"

"You are from the Uzumaki clan, and my ancestors intermarried with the Uzumaki clan. Believe me! I can accomplish these things..."

"Waaaaah... Don't kill me!"

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "As a daimyo, you're not stupid; you're smarter than most people to have reached this position. But at the same time, power has also blinded you to my true intentions."

"The curtain has been raised on a new era. When that day comes, the entire ninja world will no longer need daimyo, because no one will need daimyo anymore."

The daimyo retreated on the ground, shouting, "No, how could you refuse? You're not the only strongest! That person will stop you; you won't achieve your goal."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure appeared behind him.

He reached out and helped him up.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire turned around and his face instantly lit up with joy.

"Cloud...Uchiha Cloud! You've finally come, you've finally come!"

"It's not too late. Kill him for me, and I'll give you anything you want! Kill him!"

Uchiha Yun ignored the daimyo's urging and instead focused his gaze on Uzumaki Sora.

The next moment, the power of the Rinnegan and Tenseigan suddenly erupted.

"boom!!!"

His name was instantly overturned, and a stone, traveling at high speed, accidentally pierced his temple.

"puff."

His bewildered gaze seemed to indicate that he didn't understand why Uchiha Yun was still going to die even though he had come.

The absolute aftershocks of the strong are very powerful, whether it's the Valley of the End or the Sea of ​​the End.

But wouldn't it be easy for the stronger party to stop the aftershocks?

Why?

coincidence?

Filled with endless doubt, the Daimyo stared into Uchiha Yun's pupils, eventually losing focus.

"How pathetic... He can play games, and he's a fairly smart person, but still not smart enough."

"The pests that erode the giant tree are still pests in the end."

Vortex Sora nodded and then looked over.

The next moment, the two, who were of one mind, instantly appeared at the border of the Land of Fire, at the Sea of ​​Ending.

Meanwhile, outside the daimyo's residences of the other four great nations, everyone in the Akatsuki organization also received the news.

"here we go."

"The smell of spraying blood!"

"Sunagakure, let us once again witness the blossoming of art!"

"grandmother……"

"A new landscape..."

"No one can stop this change..."

"Yahiko, your will will ultimately be fulfilled!"
