Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 368 Urashiki and Black Zetsu

"Bang."

Just as Minato arrived at the security force, before he could even speak, a figure slid down to his knees.

She grabbed his leg and burst into tears.

"Lord Hokage, you must uphold justice..."

Awkwardly frozen in place, Minato was at a loss, mainly because the guy he was holding was a man. If he weren't still useful, he would have really wanted to shake him off.

"Lord Kurama (the Nine-Tailed Fox) has presumed I harbor ill intentions without any explanation! How could I possibly harbor ill intentions..."

"As the Hokage knows, for the sake of Konoha's greatness once again, and given the chaos outside, I must also engage in trade to stabilize the situation..."

"If even a merchant like me harbors malice, then shouldn't all merchants who come to Konoha be killed? Hokage-sama, you must help me..."

Amidst the wailing and pleading, the Nine-Tails and Boruto exchanged a glance.

Damn it! We've met our match!

However, Boruto couldn't understand why the other party knew about Kurama's special status in Konoha and also knew his public image.

What is the purpose of doing this?

You should know that the previous few smart people all chose to pay money to avoid trouble.

After all, given the Nine-Tails' power level, no one would be unwilling to make a small contribution and build a connection.

Just as he was thinking this, Boruto noticed out of the corner of his eye that the Nine-Tails' eyes had changed, and then he immediately realized what was going on.

"Bang."

With a soft sound, Boruto slid down and grabbed Minato's other leg.

"Lord Hokage, I was bewitched..."

"Uncle Yun told me about Lord Nine-Tails' ability to sense malice, and I firmly believe it. After all, Uncle Yun is the strongest person in the entire ninja world!"

"I'm just a child... I only stayed with Lord Kurama for the safety of Konoha."

Minato's eyes twitched, and then he instantly freed himself from the two attachments on his calves.

Looking at his grandson and the little nine-tailed fox, he was momentarily at a loss.

After pausing for a moment, he looked at the Chunin from the security force: "How will those two be punished?"

The chunin replied respectfully, "According to the rules, as long as we obtain their understanding, we can just pay compensation. After all, no substantial loss has been caused."

At that moment, the gate of the security force was pushed open.

Yakushi Kabuto, wearing glasses, walked in with a big smile on his face.

He first bowed slightly to Minato: "I am truly sorry, Hokage-sama. Due to some reasons, I made a deal with this merchant."

Minato asked疑惑地问道, "Is the research department lacking something?"

Dou shook his head slightly: "No, the village has always provided the greatest support to the research department. The data that the Dark Division delivered at noon contained some findings that greatly inspired me."

As he spoke, he took out a small camera, with wings installed on both sides, making it almost like an aircraft.

"This is something we've just developed. You can think of it as a small, flying camera, and the internal storage is no longer on videotapes, which allows for miniaturization."

As he spoke, Dou pushed up his glasses: "I think this thing should bring greater efficiency to the village's barrier team."

……

An hour later, the dejected Nine-Tails and Boruto were taken home by Minato.

Specifically, Kabuto Yakushi used the research results sent by Orochimaru to make a deal with a merchant.

New seeds, seeds that can double the yield.

The importance of seeds to farmers is self-evident, and to be on the safe side, not many farmers will accept them.

But this is no problem for businessmen.

In addition, all it takes is a big stick and a piece of candy; the profit-driven nature of merchants naturally eliminates any scruples.

"The yield of the new seeds has been tested, but considering the factors of popularization, more data is needed before they can be truly popularized."

"In the coming year, there will be no more stable place in the entire ninja world than the Land of Fire. I need you to select a village in each country so that they can plant new seedlings."

"You can figure out how to do it, but a country only needs one place to test it."

"Failure? We'll cover you if you fail, but if you succeed, you might become an exclusive merchant for spreading new seedlings."

"Of course, you'll also need to help me test the feasibility of something else."

……

"call……"

Minato sighed, turned around, looked at the man and the fox, and said, "If this happens again, it won't be so simple."

Seeing the two guys in front of him meekly and submissive, Minato knew very well that his words were probably less important than air.

You may avoid major mistakes, but you'll keep making minor ones.

Little Nine-Tailed Fox is very clear about its position. Because of the presence of the clouds, as long as it doesn't go too far, there won't be any major problems.

After thinking for a moment, Minato looked at Kurama and said, "I have a task for you."

???

In an instant, the little nine-tailed fox became interested. Missions meant money!

I've squandered almost all the money I earned for the Chunin Exams, and lately I've been barely making ends meet by swindling and cheating.

"Come with me."

Minato then looked at Boruto and said, "Don't let your grandmother know about this, or she will be very disappointed."

Boruto scratched his head awkwardly.

Compared to his father Naruto, he doesn't get to talk back to his grandfather very well...

……

An underground research institute.

At this moment, Black Zetsu, who was nailed to the stone wall, looked respectfully at the dozens of large glass domes in front of him, while Otsutsuki Urashiki, standing in front of him, looked solemnly at the dozens of large glass domes in front of him.

"Lord Urashiki, it's been a month. Can you put me down? That way I can serve you better!"

Urashiki turned to look at Black Zetsu: "You are the embodiment of Kaguya's will, so in the memories you inherited, I will inevitably be your enemy."

"Effect? ​​The moment I put you down, you'll probably escape from underground, won't you?"

Black Zetsu was somewhat desperate; this kind of conversation had been repeated far too many times in the past month.

The person in front of him was a member of his mother's clan, and the power of the Otsutsuki clan filled him with despair.

For thousands of years, the strongest were only at the level of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Why have these monsters appeared one after another in recent years?

"What the hell are you trying to do, you bastard?!"

Driven to despair and rage, Black Zetsu finally erupted: "If you want to plant the God Tree and obtain the Chakra Fruit, then go and plunder the bodies of the Tailed Beasts and the Ten-Tails! What's the point of conducting human experiments here? What use are these guys' powers?!"

Urashiki Otsutsuki glanced at Black Zetsu, then smiled contemptuously.

"It seems you didn't inherit all of Kaguya's memories... After all, you were just a product created hastily to escape, and apart from your ability to hide and survive, you're just average in other aspects."

"Bang!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a glass dome shattered into pieces on the ground.

Soon, two White Zetsu appeared and, amidst the horrified gazes of several lab coats, removed the failed experiment.

At this moment, no one cares about life.

Urashiki Otsutsuki frowned, then looked at Black Zetsu beside him.

"This planet is special, so special that even ants can threaten God."

"I'm not the only one from the future. Uchiha Kumo saw through my plan. Uzumaki Sora must possess some kind of special divine technique."

"Can't win, can't escape..."

"Time is running out. Whether I show up or not, I will surely die when the time comes."

At this point, Urashiki's eyes widened, and he instantly appeared in front of Black Zetsu, closing in on him.

"Hehehe..."

"Hahaha!!!"

"Is it laughable? How utterly laughable!"

"Isn't it ridiculous that a mortal could control the life of a god?"

"But it became a reality..."

Urashiki, his spirits slumped down again, plopped down in front of Black Zetsu and continued rambling, "But by the time we realized that, it was too late. We thought they were all ants, and they, in turn, used us as whetstones to hone that little bastard."

"Momoshiki is gone. Even after absorbing Kinshiki, it still has no meaning."

"asshole!"

"Luckily, I had a backup plan; I didn't show up..."

"Whoosh!!"

A beam of red light pierced through the rock wall beside Blackbeard's ear in an instant. This power, capable of threatening it, chilled it to the bone.

"But why...?"

"Even though I didn't show up! Why was I still ambushed by that Uchiha Kumo despite hiding all this time?!"

The anger born of fear made Urashiki tremble slightly, while within him, the fear of an ant constantly stirred within him.

"That vortex space...that vortex space must be special!"

At this moment, taking advantage of the fact that the other party had said so much for the first time, Black Zetsu's mind started to stir again.

"Master, if you can break the seal on Mom, she will definitely agree to join forces with you."

Black Zetsu continued his analysis: "They are all from the Otsutsuki clan. Mother was sealed away for thousands of years, and she also hates this world... If you feel that you can't deal with those bastards, Mother will definitely be willing to help you."

These words made Urashiki look over.

He then chuckled softly, "Help me? This planet is special. Kaguya devoured the Chakra Fruit, and her life form evolved..."

"She fears the Otsutsuki, but her power already surpasses mine. If she comes out, are you sure she won't attack me first?"

After venting his emotions, Pu Shi's mood stabilized considerably. He sighed and looked at the glass enclosure in front of him, where the young lives inside might all perish.

But as long as there is one, as long as one can succeed, then there is still a chance to turn things around.

"Have your White Zetsu continue searching for test subjects."

Urashiki looked at Black Zetsu: "If you refuse, I will kill you, or rather, seal you away completely. In that case, Kaguya will be trapped in a dark and hopeless seal forever."

……

half a month later.

Uchiha Un, atop the water tower, looked towards the Konoha gates, where Boruto, who had just completed a mission with his team, was returning.

In just a month and a half, this clever kid had already made a name for himself in Konoha.

Despite being known as the illegitimate son of a Hokage, he spent his time hanging out with the Nine-Tails and caused a few minor troubles before Minato assigned him to a genin class to carry out missions.

"call……"

Yun exhaled.

It has been a month and a half, and my future self has not shown up again, nor has Urashiki Otsutsuki.

In my memory, Sasuke and Boruto's journey through the past only lasted a few days, and Urashiki was quickly dealt with by Maruko.

Where did that bastard go?

With trading scheduled to begin in just two weeks, Yun was starting to get anxious.

……

Night fell quickly at the barbecue restaurant.

At this moment, the owner of the barbecue restaurant kept wiping away his sweat, his eyes occasionally glancing at the special private room at the very back.

There's nothing we can do; today's guests are just too special.

So special that if one of them sneezes, their barbecue restaurant might just go out of business.

Seven tailed beasts! Seven of them!

There seem to be two Tanuki-sama.

He was just an ordinary barbecue restaurant owner; he had never seen anything like this before.

The Nine-Tailed Fox and the Tanuki have become quite close, but the others don't seem like easy people to get along with!

The overflowing chakra was terrifying, each one more chilling than the last. (For imperfect Jinchuriki, the overflowing chakra would generate negative emotions.)

Inside the private room.

"Come on, come on... Don't say I haven't taken good care of you! Once you're in Konoha, this is my territory, so drink up."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox raises the wine bottle.

Then, apart from Shukaku, the other five tailed beasts looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a bottle of sake was downed, the first to speak was Killer Bee, or rather, the eight-tailed Gyūki inside him.

"Nine-Tails, Konoha summoned us all here. Is there something they want?"

Shukaku, now possessing Gaara's body, chuckled, "Are you scared of the Gyūki? What's there to be afraid of in the current state of Kumogakure? It's just a matter of them being gone."

His straightforward words made Niu Gui somewhat embarrassed.

"That's true, but I still have to ask, otherwise my Jinchūriki will be upset every day."

Two-Tails Matatabi, controlling Yugito, took another sip of sake: "It tastes good. Gyuki is right. If I didn't explain, I would actually be a little worried too. After all... the Ten-Tails' body is in the hands of the Uzumaki Akatsuki organization."

Upon hearing this, all the tailed beasts froze for a few seconds.

"The Ten-Tails..."

"If we are swallowed up, recovery is impossible."

The revived Three-Tailed Chifu stretched out its tail, grabbed a bottle of wine, and swallowed it whole.

He then said, "We have no chance against Uchiha Kumo's power. In comparison, I choose to trust Kurama. I would like to apply to stay in Konoha, and Konoha can also allow me to do some things."

"Um??"

The little Nine-Tailed Fox and the little Shukaku looked over with strange expressions.

Waving its paws dismissively, the little nine-tailed fox said, "Do some work? What can you do? I have nothing to do in the village! If I had a job, that would be a great thing!"

Shukaku, standing nearby, glanced at Chifu: "You're dreaming! Staying in Konoha to work? What can you possibly do?"

"Ahem!"

Ushioni coughed. "Let's get back to the main topic. I want to know what happened that Konoha sent us here? Is Obito trying to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi again?"

For a moment, all the tailed beasts looked at the little nine-tailed beast.

This feeling of being the center of attention made it a little arrogant. Since being created by the old man, although it had the most chakra, it had never had such a status.
