Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 363 Kushina and Boruto

As night fell, the Hokage Building remained brightly lit.

Not just the Hokage's office, but basically most departments will be busy starting today.

Meanwhile, at the very center of power, Minato and Shikaku were still considering Kumo's proposal.

After a long silence, Shikaku asked, "From the future... it's almost unbelievable when you think about it from the other side!"

A simple sentence reminded Minato.

His trust just now stemmed from his long-standing trust in Yun, which is why he didn't immediately suspect something so absurd as to come from the future.

But as Yun just said, even he can't see through that guy from the future.

"Yun...can you be sure he really is you from the future?"

Yun nodded: "It's obvious that twenty years have passed, and the other party has reached a certain level. But whether it's me or not, I can still judge."

The power of the secret scroll surpasses the concept of magic in this world; its power even embodies, to a certain extent, the rules themselves.

Even though he hadn't finished watching Boruto, he didn't believe anyone could know the specifics of the trading space.

Everything that happened in the ninja world can perhaps be glimpsed from memories, but no one can explore the trading space and memories of past lives.

"In that case... I support having Class 7 carry out certain missions; their strength is too great."

Shikaku rubbed his temples and continued, "Hinata's power, plus the potential for Naruto and Sasuke to generate the power of the Sage of Six Paths, these two factors will become the power that allows us to completely overthrow Akatsuki in the future."

"Cooperation is based on necessity, but when Konoha no longer needs Akatsuki as a sharp blade several years later, it will be time for them to end things."

"Another, even greater pressure... actually lies with these so-called Otsutsuki."

Minato pondered for a moment: "Otsutsuki Urashiki... if it's true that he comes from the future, then what Shikaku is guessing might be even more terrifying."

"With the same surname, the enemies are not just one or two. Although we don't know the exact number, if these alien life forms live on a planet like us and can travel between planets using spacetime abilities..."

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but both people present understood what it meant.

The Otsutsuki clan, or the Otsutsuki people.

How many people are in the clan? Four or five hundred? One or two thousand?

How many people live on a planet? Tens of millions? Hundreds of millions? Billions?

The power surpassing that of the top ninjas, coupled with such numbers, is enough to send chills down one's spine just by thinking about it.

Currently, in the entire ninja world, only Kumo and Sora Uzumaki have reached this level. Even if we include the possible Team 7, there are only five of them.

Five comparisons to hundreds of billions...

Is there any chance of winning?

There's absolutely no chance of winning!

Furthermore, the power of Yun and Xuanzhong Kong seems to have only just reached this level. The opponent, based on their enormous numbers, is like the shadows of every village, with one or two beings who are superior to everyone else.

"call……"

Shikaku exhaled, the bulging veins on his forehead taking him a long time to calm down.

After a long pause, he turned to Minato and said, "Such a terrifying situation is pointless to discuss, except to instill fear, Hokage-sama!"

Minato rubbed his temples, composed himself, and replied, "I'm really sorry, Shikaku. I'll be more careful."

Nodding, Lu Jiu looked at Yun: "At least twenty years from now, we still have the advantage, don't we? Otherwise, Yun probably won't be so carefree in the future."

laid back?

Seeing their confusion, Shikaku continued, "Since that guy came for the chakra of the Cloud and the Nine-Tails, then it's naturally because he needs it. In the future, he needs extra power and to kill an enemy who hasn't grown up yet."

"Such thinking and logic can only exist because the other party is not in a dominant position."

Minato nodded, then looked at Yun and asked, "Isn't he coming? There are still many things I want to ask about the future."

Yun replied, "Although I don't know how long it took for that guy to arrive, he'll definitely run away if he sees two of me."

"Furthermore, communication across time has many limitations. He can probably only recreate our cause based on his own experience from twenty years ago."

After he finished speaking, Minato and Shikaku stopped insisting.

Shikaku stated that several evacuation drills will be conducted during this period to minimize the casualty rate as much as possible.

But if we can keep the enemy away from Konoha, that would be best.

……

A barbecue restaurant on the commercial street.

"Gulp, gulp... Ha..."

After finishing a bottle of wine, the Nine-Tails extended one claw, gathering chakra and blocking Boruto's shoulder.

He then pointed the bottle at Shikamaru and the other two: "From today onwards, this kid is my brother! You guys keep an eye on him. If anyone bullies him because he's new here, just tell me!"

Uh……

The three members of the group, Ino-Shika-Cho, were somewhat confused.

Shikamaru frowned and asked, "Lord Kurama, at a time like this, a new face appears in the village, and within a day, their relationship with you has reached this level..."

"In this situation, we can't just agree to help because of personal preference!"

Ino, who was standing nearby, also looked at Boruto and said, "He looks a lot like Naruto, even the beard on his face is similar..."

At this moment, Little Nine-Tailed Fox took out another bottle of wine and opened it.

After glancing at Shikamaru, he drank half a bottle.

"belch!"

"Kid! You think my sensory abilities are a joke? Don't worry, this guy has Yun-kun's Flying Thunder God Kunai. He's one of us."

own people?

Ino frowned and pondered for a long time, her eyes fixed on Boruto, making the young man want to slip away.

This guy is not someone to mess with...

"that……"

Just as I was about to say something, Ino slammed her hand on the table and stood up!

"I see!"

Ino stared intently at Boruto: "You must be the Hokage's illegitimate son, right?! You look exactly like Naruto, even have a beard, and your hair is blonde!"

???

Boruto was stunned. "I'm my grandfather's illegitimate son?"

The next second, since it was just a party, there wouldn't be any kind of barrier or enchantment in the private room.

And so... the entire barbecue restaurant heard what Ino had just said.

"Who's in that private room?"

"It seems to be the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, and Kurama-sama with a golden-haired child."

"Huh? Thinking back to that kid we just saw, he really does look a lot like the Hokage!"

"Really? You can't just say that!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? He really does look a lot like Naruto, even his beard is exactly the same!"

"A teenager with a beard, that's for sure."

"Sigh... Maybe the Hokage is under too much pressure?"

"That's a blood-red chili pepper..."

"Wait, wait a bit before you go. I want to see if it really looks like it."

"So, did they come to Konoha to claim family ties?"

"A widow and her orphan, abandoned after years of wandering..."

"After his mother passed away from illness, he left clues and came to Konoha alone to find her?"

"Did the Hokage arrange for the Nine-Tails to secretly protect him?"

"Did the Nara clan discover a secret during their gathering with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio?"

"Is Father feeling guilty... and wanting to make up for what he's owed over the years?"

"Hehehe! Why does this plot seem so familiar?"

"Haven't you seen the latest release?"

……

In an instant, the long-peaceful brain monsters completely filled in this melodramatic ethical drama.

Inside the private room, Boruto, completely bewildered, stared blankly into space.

Oh no! Grandpa's going to get beaten to death by Grandma, isn't he?

With the Flying Thunder God Technique to protect me, I should, maybe, probably... be fine, right?

At this moment, Ino was also pulled down by Shikamaru.

"Ino, you've gotten yourself into trouble."

"Um?"

Realizing what was happening too late, Ino pouted and said, "I think what I said was the truth, wasn't it?"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox ate a piece of roasted meat: "I think you should go back and pack your things and run away, otherwise you probably won't be able to escape tomorrow."

At this moment, Choji, who was standing to the side, ate all the grilled meat in front of him and finally swallowed it.

"Actually... we could ask Sasuke for help, like erasing everyone's memories?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the previously quiet scene outside the private room erupted into chaos.

"Go, go, go! Hurry up and get out of here, you bastard!"

"Run! They're going to silence us!"

"Let's go, let's go! Matters concerning the Hokage are not something we can pry into."

……

In no time, everyone outside the private room had left.

Inside the private room, everyone's eyes were on Choji.

Shikamaru slapped his forehead, then looked at Choji and said, "Can't you keep your voice down?"

Choji continued grilling the meat: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, Aunt Kushina won't cause us any trouble."

Boruto, standing opposite him, was speechless: "But they'll definitely come after me..."

Turning to Nine-Tails, he said, "Boss... you promised to protect me! You can't go back on your word!"

"A cover? How do I cover it? *burp*"

The little nine-tailed fox, burping from the alcohol, said with hazy eyes, "That female demon is just like you; she has the power of the Uzumaki clan within her. If I help you, you'll probably die an even more gruesome death."

Waving its paw, the Nine-Tails sighed, "You should run away too... Although there's a possibility of being hunted down, Minato should be able to protect you, no matter what."

"Hiccup! After all... after all, we have to treat everyone fairly, right? Come to think of it, I was wondering about this before, but now it seems there's an explanation."

……

Shikamaru found the barbecue meal utterly unappetizing.

If this gets out, I'll probably get a beating from my parents!

After the party ended, the group left the barbecue restaurant.

The Nine-Tails patted Boruto's shoulder with its paw: "It's alright, at worst I'll just get half-beaten to death. If we don't run away, we'll continue tomorrow. Apart from this, I can handle everything! Don't worry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crimson figure vanished in a flash.

The four who remained were all rather depressed at this moment.

"Smack."

Boruto clapped his hands together, only then realizing that he had nowhere to stay.

Shikamaru glanced at him and then said directly, "I think you should go hide at Aunt Mikoto's house for the night and see how things go tomorrow before deciding whether to run away or not."

"In this situation, perhaps only Aunt Mikoto can calm Aunt Kushina down."

Grandma Mikoto?

Boruto felt a little flustered.

……

After explaining the situation to Sasuke, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio left.

Sasuke looked at Boruto with a puzzled expression.

"Are you really Naruto's half-brother? Is Brother Yun covering for the Hokage?"

Boruto shrugged helplessly and replied, "What's the point of explaining now?"

Sasuke shook his head seriously, his pupils already activated with the Sharingan.

"It's no use. So many people heard it, and it's even in a place like a barbecue restaurant. By tonight, this will have spread throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village. So..."

Boruto took two steps back and chuckled sheepishly, "So you're not thinking of killing me for the sake of the Hokage's reputation, are you?"

Uncle Yun should still be with me at this time, right?

Could I defeat Sasuke at this point in time?

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?"

The sudden shout left Boruto stunned once again; he was just about to scream for help.

……

Early in the morning, Minato, who was brushing his teeth, used a shadow clone to go to the top of the Hokage Building.

At this moment, the courtyard gate was opened, and Kushina, who had gone out to buy things earlier, returned with a gloomy expression.

He glanced at Minato, who was brushing his teeth, with an unfriendly look, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went to make breakfast.

However, just from that glance, Minato, who was brushing his teeth, involuntarily shuddered.

It's only August, and you're already feeling cold at home? It seems the position of Hokage is making things a bit unhealthy for him.

After washing up, Minato poked his head into the kitchen: "What delicious food did you make today?"

In the kitchen, Kushina, holding a cleaver, was unconsciously chopping the sushi in front of her.

The sushi, which should have been cut into sections, has now been chopped into a paste.

This scene sent a chill down Minato's spine; it felt somewhat familiar...

What's wrong?

Is it because I came home very late yesterday?

But hasn't this already become a habit?

"Whoosh!"

A flash of cold light, and the cleaver was pointed directly at the water gate.

"Breakfast is ready, help yourself."

As he raised his hands, a bead of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

The situation seems to be getting serious.

"Ding-dong..."

The doorbell rang, and it took me a while to realize I needed to open the door.

Upon seeing that it was Shikaku, he smiled wryly and said, "You worked so late yesterday, you didn't have to come to my house so early this morning to catch me, did you?"

"Oh?"

Shikaku asked in confusion, "It seems that the Hokage doesn't need my help anymore. Actually, I originally thought you had been kicked out of the house by now."

Minato was taken aback by these words.

"What?! You know why? Kushina's acting really strange today!"

He quickly ushered Shikaku inside, and then the two of them saw Kushina with an unfriendly expression.

"Gurgle..."

Swallowing hard, Shikaku finally spoke up: "That Kushina... that kid at the barbecue restaurant yesterday, she's actually your and Minato's grandson, your biological grandson."

Kushina glanced at Shikaku, then looked at Minato.

"Bang!"

One slap and the table cracked.

"You made Shikaku lie for you? You, Hokage-sama, are truly something else!"

"I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect Shikaku to arrive so quickly! Who else is coming? Is Yun coming too?"

Uh...(#Д)
