Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 40 Madara!!

"You must have noticed it just now, right? The cursed seal on your heart. If you can guess that it was Madara's doing, then you should be able to guess what kind of arrangements he'll make."

Yun casually picked up a leaf that drifted past his eyes and held it between his fingers. He then used his wind-style chakra nature transformation to split the leaf in two.

If this space weren't only accessible during each transaction, it would be an ideal place for spiritual practice.

Obito, standing to the side, pondered Yun's words. If it were Madara...

Yun continued, "The cursed seal placed inside the doll will restrict your actions to a certain extent, such as... removing it from your body. Or, for example... committing suicide."

"Speaking of which, you are truly pathetic and hateful that you can't even control your own life and death."

Obito waved his hand, interrupting Yun: "I don't need your opinion. The contract only trades a method to remove this cursed seal!"

Yun shook his head slightly: "So sometimes I feel that the Second Hokage of Konoha was not speaking without reason. Because of the conditions for awakening the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan is indeed prone to producing some mentally ill patients."

"The way to break the curse is actually very simple: risk your life! Although the curse will suppress your actions, it cannot suppress the actions of others."

As Yun spoke, she looked at Obito, and then at Rin Nohara's memorial stone.

"In this world, is there anyone you can still trust?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito looked at the memorial stone.

Yes... In this world, is there anyone I can still trust?

To open one's heart wide open, allowing others to touch it—does one truly still possess that kind of trust?

Absolutely? The will of an idiot and a speckled person—only a fool would believe in them.

Nagato, Konan?

How could he possibly trust the person who dragged them down to hell? Even during his previous battle with this vortex-like Sora, wasn't he wary of them?

Obito Uchiha's gaze returned to the memorial stone. Rin, if it were you...

After falling into hell, both Minato and Kakashi became his enemies.

And Lin... is gone too.

Do I have anyone I can trust right now? Whom can I trust?

Yun's voice rang out: "How pathetic... I've always believed that humans are social animals, but you, who bury yourself deep underground and see the world as hell, are already sick."

No one can remain alone in darkness for long, no one at all. The few who are truly alone are all incredibly mentally unstable.

In his memory, Payne always portrayed himself as a god, wanting to make the world feel pain.

Obito vented his desire to destroy the world, to dream with him, to become someone whose wishes could be fulfilled, and then to quietly die in his sleep.

Madara, who lives underground, appears laughing maniacally, declaring he'll save the world. His solution? Everyone just needs to sleep. That makes sense; you can have anything in your dreams after a good night's sleep.

Danzo believed all day long that if he became Hokage, Konoha would unify the ninja world. I don't know where that old dog got his confidence from.

……

Yun looked at Obito and asked, "Now that you know the method, what should you do?"

Unable to bear looking at Lin's memorial tablet any longer, Obito turned to Yun and said in a low voice, "What I do is none of your concern. This world, which is already dead in my heart, truly has no one I can trust. But so what?"

"It's just a gamble with my life! That old man is just worried that I won't follow his plan. When he gets out, I'll make him pay."

Yun smiled and said, "That old man was very strong when he was young. He was known as one of the two heroes of the ninja world and was one of the strongest fighters in this world at the time."

"Speaking of which, there's something I'm curious about. Rin Nohara died not far from Konoha, so why did her body end up back in Konoha?"

Obito asked sarcastically, "Do you have any bargaining chips to offer me?"

Yun was slightly embarrassed, but Ban's medium was indeed quite important.

Hashirama's Sage Body, Madara's Sage Eyes. Nagato's situation is probably difficult now; they can only resort to killing people.

"You've always believed that Konoha was Rin's best place to be, haven't you? If you take her body away, Rin, who's already in the Pure Land, probably won't be happy, right?"

Obito's face darkened: "Uzumaki Sora, next time we meet, I'll kill you!"

Yun let out a breath and shrugged: "That depends on whether you can do it. If you don't change, I might just kill you."

After a long while, Yun received no response.

The scene suddenly changed.

The transaction is complete...

……

In the dark cave, Obito, who had just regained consciousness, shook his head slightly.

"Wow, was I just here?"

The white Zetsu beside him nodded: "I've been here the whole time. What's wrong? Did you secretly go to take a dump behind my back, Obito?"

"Obito! You didn't call me when you were taking a dump! I wanted to know what the urge to poop really was!"

Ignoring the White Zetsu's trash talk, Obito unwrapped the bandage on his right arm beneath the Hashirama cells.

An eye on the arm slowly opened, and the three tomoe in the eye slowly rotated and connected, eventually forming another pattern.

And this eye is one of Fugaku's kaleidoscopes.

What's the truth behind Lin's death? Let's use this as a starting point to see what the future holds!

As his thoughts settled, the pupils of the Mangekyou Sharingan on his arm spun rapidly, unleashing a massive surge of ocular power. For a moment, even Obito, who possessed Hashirama cells, felt as if his energy had been drained.

As the ability was activated, blurry scenes flashed by rapidly, making it impossible to discern even the slightest detail.

Until the very end, a scene appeared in Obito's mind.

In the Kamui dimension, Madara, with his single eye of Rinnegan, was gripping the neck of someone... who was none other than himself?!

"I have placed a curse seal within you, so you are naturally unable to commit suicide, because you are important pawns in my game."

"you?"

"Yes, you guys! I don't know what the cause and effect is, but you've all used the exact same method to erase it. How interesting!"

"Lin?"

"That's right, the plan to make that little girl the Three-Tails Jinchuriki and make her run rampant in Konoha was devised by me."

……

The scene slowly faded from his mind, but Obito's fists were already clenched tightly.

It's a freckle!

Whether it's the cursed seal within his own body or the truth behind Rin's death, it's all Madara!!

How incredibly foolish...

Heh... Just like he designed Nagato, Madara designed himself in the same way.

If you want someone to fall into hell and be plunged into darkness, then make them lose the most important person in their life.

Where would there be so many coincidences?

Everything! Everything was just to get me to cooperate with his plan...

spot!!!
