Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 404 Pressure from Mother

"So...Ino really succeeded?"

"Ah, according to my information, it seems Brother Yun has really agreed."

"No matter how I look at it... it seems very casual. This kind of behavior is really not like a teacher's style."

"But Brother Ke Yun is twenty-five already, surely he'll have a girl he likes, right? And Ino is trying so hard to win him over..."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto: "Although some things are inappropriate to say, do you really think that kind of power, like Brother Yun's, can be achieved simply through hard work?"

These words shut Naruto up.

Now that he's twenty years old, everything he's seen and heard over the years tells him that it's impossible.

Let alone reaching Brother Yun's level, even someone like myself and Sasuke would probably find it impossible.

Is Xiao Li working hard?

He pushes himself to his limits day after day. Every time I see him, he's either on a mission or practicing physical skills. He has very little free time.

However, the Eight Gates, a forbidden technique, truly surpasses the level of a Kage, and opening the Gate of Death requires exchanging one's life.

To exhaust one's entire life to bloom once, requiring daily effort, seems far too realistic compared to innate talent and bloodline.

At this moment, Hinata spoke up, "Naruto-kun... if... if Ino and Sensei were to get married, what should we call Ino?"

⊙_⊙×2

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto and Sasuke were stunned.

It seems like... I've suddenly become a generation younger for no reason!

Although they sometimes call him Brother Yun, his status as their teacher is undeniable. Both of them have grown to where they are today thanks to his guidance.

"Let each of them do their own thing."

A voice came from the side, and Naruto and Sasuke were stunned because they hadn't noticed that there was another person at the Shadow Rock.

"It's Yakumo-neechan."

Hinata waved her hand: "Yakumo-neechan's genjutsu is getting more and more powerful. I almost didn't notice it just now."

As the paintbrush swept across the room, a gentle breeze swept by, causing the trees behind the shadowy rock to rustle.

Yakumo then put away his paintbrush, looked at Hinata and smiled: "You noticed me from the very beginning."

Then he looked at the other two: "The Sharingan and the Perfect Jinchuriki, both of these powers can actually detect my presence, but your vigilance is too poor."

Naruto, standing to the side, pouted: "What's wrong with you... There's no danger in the village, why are you so nervous?"

Sasuke remained silent, somewhat surprised by the unusual breeze he had just encountered in his three-tomoe Sharingan.

Yakumo Kurama, hailed as a new generation genius of genjutsu, even surpassed the Uchiha clan in the art of genjutsu.

Creating form from nothingness, the opponent's artwork utilized Yin-attribute chakra to an absurd degree.

"That girl named Ino, she's the daughter of Inoichi, a Jonin of the Yamanaka clan, right?"

Yakumo thought for a moment and then said, "As a boy, there's no reason to refuse a beautiful girl who has always liked me. After all... a teacher probably doesn't want to see such a girl heartbroken."

Hinata seemed lost in thought, while Sasuke frowned beside her.

Naruto said nonchalantly, "I wonder if my teacher will marry me; I was a huge help!"

Yakumo shook his head slightly: "No. Teacher is carrying a heavy burden in his heart. I've been able to sense it for the past five years."

After speaking, Yakumo stood up, packed up his easel, and glanced at the three of them.

"Sometimes talent and bloodline are indeed important, but if a genius doesn't work hard, when he is finally powerless, he may not even be able to catch up with the final bloom of the Eight Gates."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yakumo's reincarnation departed, his figure vanishing without a trace.

"Amazing!" Naruto exclaimed.

"She is the only one in this generation of the Kurama clan to awaken the bloodline, and she has surpassed her ancestors."

Sasuke looked in the direction Yakumo had left: "I've seen some things about her before. Perhaps she's right about her sensitivity. We overheard Toneri and Brother Kumo's conversation, didn't we?"

For a moment, Naruto fell silent.

With his brows furrowed, he wasn't heartless; he just always felt that there was someone he could rely on.

Whether it's the father of the Fourth Hokage, or Brother Kumo, or even Uzumaki Sora, whose attitude now seems to be cooperating with the higher-ups.

Whether it's a god or a celestial being, there's always someone holding the fort.

A person's character is influenced by both their nature and their environment. In this world, Naruto has had it too easy, so much so that he unknowingly gained his current power.

Sasuke experienced the Limited Tsukuyomi, Hinata experienced the lows and the rise to determination, but he has always had a smooth journey.

"Little brat."

Naruto, with his eyes closed, arrived at the sealed land. There were no more cages here, only the Nine-Tails resting.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"There are heavenly beings and gods."

Naruto paused, then asked, "If... even Brother Lianyun and Dad can't help, what can I do?"

Nine-Tailed Fox scoffed: "No one ever thought of themselves as a savior from the very beginning, not even the old man back then."

"But this world doesn't just belong to Uchiha Yun. It belongs to you, Uchiha boy, Hinata, and all of humanity and all beings with consciousness."

"The guy who clenched his fist and said he would keep his word back then, that image has become increasingly blurred over the years... Naruto."

Clenching his fists, Naruto looked up and smiled, "I've always been here! Because I have something I want to protect, something I absolutely cannot allow to lose!"

……

On the other side, a barbecue restaurant.

Izumi, who had just drunk a cup of sake, almost sprayed it all over Shikamaru the next second.

"What? You agreed?"

Shikamaru covered his face with his hands, and only lowered them when he saw that he had not been attacked.

"Ms. Izumi, don't get too excited..."

Izumi waved his hand: "No. It's just that my brother started dating so quietly, I originally thought Ino might have a headache for a few more years."

Choji, who was constantly eating grilled meat, looked up and said, "I think we should celebrate this. How about we come to the grilled meat restaurant every day for the next week?"

Shikamaru glanced at him: "Do you want Ino, who just confessed her feelings successfully, to be stuck here washing dishes?"

Shikamaru sighed as he spoke.

Dating isn't marriage, and things have gone too smoothly.

Ino is very bold and has been trying hard to catch up with Brother Yun, but those who understand know that it is impossible.

As one of the brains assisting the Hokage in his work at the Hokage Building, Shikamaru has learned a great deal of secrets over the years.

And among them... are speculations about future enemies.

Because I am familiar with and have always liked myself, I naturally accept this liking, and then I will see if we are suitable for each other after getting to know each other.

This... is the best possible outcome.

Shikamaru pictured his parents in his mind; life and relationships are two different things...

"Speaking of which... you two are getting on in years."

Izumi's voice interrupted Shikamaru's thoughts.

Shikamaru shrugged and smiled wryly, "I took the day off specifically because of Ino's situation. I still need to go back and organize the accumulated documents. Izumi-sensei... do you think any girl would like me under these circumstances?"

Choji, who was standing to the side, looked up again: "Um... Waaaaah..."

Choji, whose mouth was covered in burnt meat, was silenced before he could finish speaking.

Shikamaru glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense about things that aren't true. A girl's reputation is also very important."

Seeing this, Izumi smiled and said, "That's why Shikamaru has always been the most worry-free. But if you have a girl you like, you must take the initiative."

Uh →_→

To attack? With what?

Shikamaru sighed, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

I have to go back to work soon, so forget about drinking. When I was a minor, I could sneak a little drink, but now that I'm an adult, it's a luxury.

……

Night falls.

When Uchiha Yun returned home with a bouquet of flowers, he found a row of people sitting on the sofa as soon as he opened the door.

Mother, Izumi, Kurama, and even Shukaku, who was dozing off with his head down, all joined in the fun.

"Uh...you're still awake?"

With three pairs of eyes staring at him, Yun could only laugh awkwardly.

But it was clear that his mother had no intention of letting him off the hook: "I heard from Izumi... he's a child from the Hai family?"

Yun glared at Izumi, who was making a face, and nodded in reply, "Yeah. She was in the same class as Naruto and Sasuke, and she's a very pretty girl."

Izumi raised his hand and stuck in his knife: "And another thing, he's still my student!"

Cut it all the way through.

The mother frowned, but after glancing at Yun, she sighed.

Although she was only twenty-five years old, she knew very well how extraordinary her son was.

The title of "Number One in the Ninja World" may bring worship, status, or even power, but it will never bring a daughter-in-law.

Unable to reach their level, a tactful refusal...

This has happened many times before; Hazuki Uchiha even went to the Konoha Beast Hospital twice.

"Cough cough."

A single cough silenced Quan.

My mother then said seriously, "How long do you plan to go and talk to them? I need to prepare some things. Also, have you set a date yet? You need to think about it quickly; there are many things to prepare..."

⊙_⊙

After a series of rambling and irrelevant remarks, Uchiha Yun was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

They're just dating, there's no indication they're getting married tomorrow!

Half an hour later, Mother glared at Yun: "Did you remember everything I just said?"

Yun really wanted to reply, "What did you just say?"

But fearing being kicked out so late, she nodded after thinking it over.

So the mother stood up, her serious face breaking into a smile: "That's good. Tomorrow I'll invite Kushina and Mikoto to go to the girl's house together."

What?!

Uchiha Yun understood what she meant and quickly stopped his mother: "Um... we've only just started dating, you'll scare her if you do this."

Izumi, standing to the side, continued preparing to deliver the final blow, so that Ino wouldn't be scared. Hearing this news, she might even be too excited to sleep that night.

However, before she could speak, she was silenced by a look.

"Besides... although there's only a five-year age difference, Izumi is still her teacher. Let's wait and see how Inoichi reacts first, so we can be more prepared, right?"

After much persuasion and reasoning, Yun finally convinced her mother.

"That's true."

After thinking for a moment, her mother added, "You mustn't bully girls. It won't look good if their parents come knocking."

Uh! ←_←

Finally, Mother went back to her room to rest.

The little nine-tailed fox, who had been suppressed by the Great Demon King, was finally freed and ran to Yun's shoulder in a flash.

"I heard your girlfriend owns a flower shop?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Doing business... it doesn't matter who you do it with, right, boss?"

"Spit it out!"

The little nine-tailed fox rubbed its paws together: "Well... it's all because of this kind of relationship. I wonder if we could do an exclusive operation or something?"

Quan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "These two guys recently started a flower delivery and tomb-sweeping agency project. You can entrust them to visit the memorial stone at fixed times and places to sweep the tomb and replace the flowers with fresh chrysanthemums."

At this moment, Yun was preoccupied with a lot of trouble. Upon hearing this, he immediately grabbed the little nine-tailed fox by the neck and started twisting it.

"Gah!"

I guess I used too much force, because it made a duck-like sound.

He pushed open the door and kicked it out with one foot.

"Give me a night to cool off. If you cause me trouble again, I'll have you locked up in front of the barbecue restaurant—you can only look, not eat!"

The little nine-tailed fox flipped over to steady itself: "Hmph, heartless!"

At this moment, Shukaku, who had been dozing off, also woke up.

"Aren't we going to celebrate? BBQ restaurant? Or izakaya? Let's go, let's all do it together!"

And so... Shukaku, like Kurama, was twisted and thrown out.

Turning around, Uchiha Yun looked at Uchiha Izumi.

With just one look, Quan, who had just stabbed someone twice, immediately stopped smiling, lowered his head, obediently stood up, put on his slippers, and went upstairs to his bedroom.

She didn't want to be thrown out by her older brother; if that happened, she would have no choice but to call her mother for help.

"call……"

In the empty living room, Yun let out a breath and sat down on the sofa.

Accepting Ino's confession and agreeing to date her was a natural thing to do. After all, no one would refuse a beautiful girl who had liked him for a long time.

Moreover, the Ino in my memory is inherently much more clear-headed than Sakura. She dares to confess directly, yet she won't abandon her parents, family, or village because of wishful thinking.

Even though I knew it was impossible to catch up, I still tried my best...

Dare to fall in love, and dare to let go rationally.

In addition...

Given her mother's thoughts and the current situation, it seems that Ino is the best choice.

after all……

If tonight's trading unfolds as expected, then a greater degree of human nature may play a significant role in the future.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was known as the one without desire, had two offspring born because her chakra was so vast that it was dispersed.

At first, she may have thought that after digesting the power in her body, she would take back her two sons' chakra, but her feelings would not allow her to do so.

The concept of God needs to be bound by emotions to remain connected to humanity...

Yun stood up and walked upstairs to her bedroom.

Tonight's trading is very important.
