Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 382 Escape from Konoha

The sealed land.

Fearing that Sasuke had been tricked, Naruto quickly pulled him back, but no matter how hard he tried, Sasuke didn't budge.

"asshole!"

Naruto panicked and pulled out a kunai, throwing it at Kurama.

"Bang."

As soon as the kunai leaped over the cage, it was blasted away by one of the Nine-Tails' claws.

"It's definitely you, you filthy fox! Let Sasuke go right now! Or I'll never let you out!"

With its two claws supporting its head, Kurama ignored Naruto's insults and instead looked at Sasuke Uchiha with a light laugh.

At that moment, Sasuke also looked at Naruto beside him.

"Naruto."

"Huh? Sasuke, you're alright?! That's great!"

"Hey? What happened to your eyes? They're so beautiful!"

In Sasuke's pupils, the six-pointed Mangekyou Sharingan appeared and slowly rotated.

Instead of answering his question about his eyes, she said, "Four years ago, I cautiously paid attention to you, as a classmate."

"You're hated by everyone in the village. No one will sell you anything; they'll kick you out and call you a nine-tailed fox demon..."

"Never hated any of this?"

Naruto paused, completely forgetting what he was about to do, and instead began to think seriously.

After a moment, Naruto shrugged: "Of course I hated it! That's why I want everyone to agree with me. I'm sure I can become Hokage!"

"Besides... not everyone hates me! Shikamaru and Choji, Hinata, Iruka-sensei, you Sasuke, Sakura! And now Kakashi-sensei..."

"None of you dislike me because of this stinky fox, and I've always considered you my best friends and teachers, so I'm not alone!"

Naruto raised his hand and clenched it into a fist: "I will definitely work hard, work hard to become Hokage, and then everyone will recognize me!"

"Oh, and there's also Grandpa Hokage!"

"Grandpa Hokage was very kind to me. He would treat me to grilled fish and teach me about the Will of Fire. He was the Hokage who protected everyone in the village, the Hokage whom everyone respected!"

"From now on... I will definitely protect everyone just like him!"

Naruto's smile was genuine, but Sasuke clearly sensed the sinister undertone within it.

For twelve years, he was hated by everyone; no one could truly ignore it or forget it completely.

He cherishes all his friends, and he would even want to protect himself immediately.

But it is precisely because it is hard-won that we cherish it.

"Naruto..."

"what?"

"If the Third Hokage, and the village's higher-ups, all wanted to kill you, would you resist?"

This statement stunned Naruto.

Coming to his senses, he chuckled sheepishly and waved his hand, "How could that be? Grandpa Hokage is a very kind person; why would he want to kill me?"

Sasuke asked intently, "What if? Would you stand still and let them kill you, or would you fight back with all your might?"

After he finished speaking, Naruto fell silent, his brows furrowed and his smile vanished.

He's not stupid; in fact, he's even more quick-witted in urgent situations.

Grandpa Hokage... wants to kill Sasuke?

Why? How is that possible?

He didn't say anything stupid like taking Sasuke to confront the Third Hokage, because he wasn't stupid.

He had always known that Sasuke was very smart, ranked first in his grade, and whose words and actions even earned Shikamaru's approval.

So... did the Hokage really want to kill Sasuke?

A moment later, Naruto's eyes were filled with determination.

"I will resist!"

Sasuke nodded, preparing to make his move...

"Sasuke, how can I help you?"

Sasuke was taken aback by these words, and looked at Naruto with a furrowed brow: "Help me... If you help me, you might die, and many parts of Konoha will be destroyed."

"The Third Hokage may not die, but Sakura, Hinata, Shikamaru, Choji, and even Iruka and Kakashi could die."

After saying that, Naruto hesitated.

Sasuke chuckled dismissively at this expression: "So now... do you think I should just stand there and let myself be killed? Or should I fight back with all my might and use every means at my disposal?"

Naruto remained silent.

After a long pause, he finally raised his head, his brows furrowed, and looked at Sasuke: "You're going to release it, aren't you?"

Sasuke nodded.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Naruto said firmly, "Not in Konoha, I'll help you!"

These words made Sasuke's heart tremble, but what followed was the responsibility left behind after the annihilation of his entire clan and the opportunity that Izumi had bought with her death.

"That's impossible. If I can get out, I won't need your help."

At this moment, the Nine-Tails, who had been watching the show from inside the cage, finally spoke.

"Twelve years have passed, and the weakening of the seal has shown me something."

"The Uchiha clan was wiped out, leaving only you and a woman. It's impossible for Konoha to have gone unnoticed by their own clansmen."

"So now that things have been exposed, you're trying to eliminate them completely? You're quite cunning, aren't you? You've been hiding those eyes all this time, just waiting for this day?"

Sasuke looked at Kurama: "Sealed by Konoha, you've been imprisoned in this small cage for so many years. Don't you want revenge?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto looked blankly at him.

Then it slowly walked to the cage and floated up.

With a single reach, he tore off the sealed paper talisman.

But beneath the paper talisman, a vortex-like seal remained. Without the key, and lacking proficiency in sealing techniques, Sasuke was clearly unable to break it.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing the Uchiha brat in front of him looking completely bewildered, the Nine-Tails in the cage burst into laughter.

"Didn't expect that, did you? This is a seal set up by the Fourth Hokage. If it could be broken simply by tearing open the cursed seal talisman, that would be far too easy!"

Sasuke shook his head with a wry smile. If that were the case, then the Nine-Tails card would be useless.

"Uchiha brat."

The Nine-Tails in the cage stood up, and streams of crimson chakra began to fill the entire space.

"You're absolutely right. Ever since that bastard Hashirama Senju, I've been sealed away in this cramped place by Konoha!"

"Such hatred! Why can't I make a scene!"

Kurama's vertical pupils stared directly at Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan: "You're still quite inexperienced in using these eyes, but since you've already controlled this brat, that's enough."

"Let him in, and then... let's have a huge fight!"

"Make Konoha pay the price! Let that bastard Fourth Hokage see that the village he protected with his life will ultimately be destroyed by me!"

……

In reality, Sasuke, who caught Naruto's fist, paused for a moment before flinging it away.

The six-pointed star kaleidoscope slowly rotated, and Sakura, who was watching from the sidelines, glanced over and quickly disappeared from view.

He picked him up and turned to look at the woods outside the training ground.

"Swish..."

Three figures appeared and landed from two directions, and Sasuke smiled.

How arrogant and conceited!

Two members of Danzo's Root organization and one member of the Dark Guard who obeyed the Third Hokage's orders rushed out without leaving any observers behind.

"Uchiha Sasuke! What have you done?"

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is unconscious. Was that burst of ocular power you caused?"

"You have two seconds to answer, or I'll have to kill you!"

Two seconds later, Sasuke placed Sakura under a large tree nearby.

The three, who had not received a reply, exchanged glances and surprisingly reached a consensus on their goal.

"Whoosh!"

The three figures attacked simultaneously, forming an encirclement.

"puff!"

The long sword pierced Sasuke's abdomen, not aiming for his heart, because they actually needed to take Sasuke back.

One was to be given to Danzo, and the other was to be given to the Third Hokage.

next second...

"puff!"

Blood gushed from beneath the masks of all three simultaneously. Sasuke, who had been pierced earlier, had vanished. The three men's longswords had pierced each other's abdomens.

"Write...Sharingan?"

"How could this be...? You weren't watching the surveillance footage at all!"

"Damn it...you really do harbor ill will towards the village!"

"Whoosh..."

Three kunai shot out, accurately hitting the throats of the three men, silencing all sound.

"I just want to live. Only by living can I have a chance to take revenge."

He picked up the long sword and finished off all three of them. Then Sasuke removed the mask from the one who belonged to the Anbu.

After observing for a moment, he formed hand seals and performed the Transformation Technique.

At this moment, after Sasuke's death, crimson chakra began to fill Naruto's entire body, and two tails swung behind him.

"You...should be able to survive."

After leaving a message, Sasuke took Sakura away and left the place.

The Seventh Training Ground is very close to the gates of Konoha, but far from the Hokage Building.

This was a deliberately chosen location. Naruto was controlled using the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Removing the cursed seal had a certain effect, loosening the seal.

"boom!!!"

The crimson chakra, brimming with an evil aura, surged forth, and at the same time, the entire Hidden Leaf Village sensed it.

Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stood up and looked out the window, his gaze more solemn than ever before.

Nine-Tails' chakra?

Is Naruto in trouble? Has the seal been broken?

"Swish, swish, swish..."

A series of spies appeared in the office.

"Summon all Jonin! Stop the Nine-Tails at all costs! Everyone in the Barrier Team, prepare to reseal the Nine-Tails!"

"The entire village has been evacuated immediately and everyone is being taken to shelters!"

"clear!"

One by one, figures vanished in an instant. Hiruzen Sarutobi also changed into his combat suit, left directly through the window, and headed towards the location where the Nine-Tails had unleashed its power.

……

at the same time.

After settling Sakura in, Sasuke appeared at the gates of Konoha.

"The Nine-Tails seal has loosened. The Hokage has ordered all elite Chunin and above to proceed to provide support."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Jonin squad that was on guard in the shadows instantly disappeared.

Kotetsu and Izumo looked at Sasuke and asked, "Should we go too? If so, there will be no one to guard this place."

Sasuke, disguised as an ANBU member, replied, "We'll arrange for a team of Chunin to guard the area..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold glint of light came straight at him.

"Bang!"

Having failed to parry, Sasuke leaped back and looked at the two who had spread out and surrounded him: "Your tone and words seemed fine. How did you figure it out?"

The two people opposite him had a slightly mocking expression, but they were both stunned the next moment.

Sharingan?

The shock had barely subsided when the two collapsed to the ground.

There's no need to ask why we were discovered; since we've already been discovered, the only way to leave is to eliminate him.

Asking questions... was merely a way to make them look at me.

He raised his longsword and brought it down with force.

"Bang!"

A kunai stopped the blade.

Then a voice came from behind Sasuke.

"Luckily I made it in time. If my dad hadn't told me about Naruto's special circumstances, I might not have been able to think of you so quickly with the lack of information."

Sasuke turned to look at Shikamaru, but the latter lowered his head and avoided eye contact.

"So you're here to stop me?"

Shikamaru shook his head: "I understand you want to leave, but you shouldn't use Naruto as a bargaining chip. He can't handle that kind of evil and powerful chakra."

Sensing someone approaching from behind, Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief: "If it were just you leaving, I wouldn't care, considering everything that's happened. But you paid for Naruto's life, and I can't forgive that!"

"He treated you as a friend, yet you were able to kill him without hesitation. With that kind of mentality, you've fallen into darkness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared beside him.

Kakashi looked at the disguised ANBU disciples in front of him, thought for a moment, raised his headband, and looked at Sasuke with his three-tomoe Sharingan.

"So, you also possess that memory of the other you experienced? Or was it something Uchiha Izumi told you?"

Asuma, standing nearby, looked puzzled: "He's just a newly graduated genin, aren't you being a bit too cautious?"

Nobody paid him any attention.

Sasuke sighed, gripping his long sword tightly. "I wasn't the one who experienced that day, but the memories remain. That day... it truly felt like hell, Kakashi."

Hearing this, Kakashi sighed: "I originally thought you would be the most worry-free disciple, but it's clear I didn't discover the darkness you've been hiding."

"Using the Sharingan to release the Nine-Tails from Naruto's body is a grave crime. Sasuke, surrender."

Darkness? Surrender?

Sasuke deactivated the transformation jutsu and chuckled softly.

"How can you say such a thing when you experienced that day as well? Didn't you see the darkness in Konoha?"

"Danzo joined forces with Itachi Uchiha to wipe out the Uchiha clan, and then obtained the Sharingan! Hiruzen Sarutobi turned a blind eye! Isn't Konoha dark?"

Asuma frowned deeply: "He's gone mad. Kakashi, make your move."

"Hehehe..."

A scornful laugh rang out, and Sasuke instantly looked up, the six-pointed star illuminating Kakashi's vision.

He possesses the Sharingan with three tomoe, and clearly believes he can look directly into those eyes.

"Buzz..."

With a burst of eye power, Kakashi froze on the spot.

Illusion!

Just as Asuma was about to reach out, a black flame appeared out of thin air.

"He helped me, but you didn't!"
