Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 409 Limited Tsukuyomi

The gathering of the older generation of pigs, deer, and butterflies ended in silence. They were all middle-aged and knew very well that no one could change the changes that had already begun.

Once everything is ready, it's like a boulder falling from a great height, crushing those who try to stop it and leading to a new future.

Perhaps only Shikaku can see things clearly within the village and the family at present, but precisely because he sees things clearly, he will never try to stop it.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Ding patted his belly and said, "The unity of the clan during the Warring States period was originally for the purpose of having enough to eat and for young children to grow up safely. That's why people of the same clan needed to unite."

"Now that all these goals have been achieved, the close-knit family ties have lost their meaning. Besides, it's not like we're forbidden from using the Akimichi surname, like the Senju clan..."

Ding didn't say what came next, but Hai was relieved.

Shikaku patted Choza on the shoulder and said, "So sometimes you're the most clear-headed one. Being well-fed and watered is the most important thing."

……

After taking Ino home, Yun went back home.

As expected, upon entering the house, he found his two family members waiting for him again.

After Quan teased her and her mother questioned her, Yun finally managed to get through it and went upstairs.

He kicked the little nine-tailed fox blocking the doorway away and then closed the door behind him.

"Bang."

Just as he was about to curse, he sensed a force pressing down on him, and Little Nine-Tailed Fox quickly tucked its nine tails between its legs and slipped downstairs.

As night falls, let's take a look at the world of the limited-time Tsukuyomi, as usual.

More than three years have passed. After the twenty-first transaction, the chakra of the nine tailed beasts has combined, and their sensory range has expanded once again.

Perhaps I could give it a try. Right now, I'm on the same level of power as Kaguya Otsutsuki.

……

The world of Tsukuyomi (limited time).

Five years have passed in the real world, but only three years have passed here where time flows relatively slowly.

Sasuke joined the Hidden Cloud Village, gradually mastering the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and also began to grasp the nature transformation of Lightning Release Chakra.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Izumi was also working hard, and with her three-tomoe Sharingan, she had already been promoted to Jonin of Kumogakure.

Raikage Building.

The Fourth Raikage looked at the intelligence report in his hand, his brows furrowed, indicating that he was not at peace.

"Bang bang bang".

"Come in!"

Mabui led Darui in, and the two looked at the Fourth Raikage.

The scroll was tossed over, and Darui caught it and looked at it before asking, "The Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure? I heard he's very young and is also the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast."

The Fourth Raikage nodded: "The entanglement between Ashura and Indra has continued, even after reincarnation. Our infiltration of Konoha has been ongoing in order to ensure the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra."

"This information comes from Konoha. The Kazekage of Sunagakure, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, was kidnapped by the Akatsuki. Sunagakure requested help from Konoha and has already rescued him."

"Chiyo is dead, and Sunagakure's power has long since plummeted. They are no threat to us."

"What I need to know is... detailed information about the Akatsuki organization and Naruto Uzumaki."

After a moment of silence, Darui replied, "Naruto left Konoha more than two years ago and has been training with Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin. Because they've always been training together, we don't know much about his progress."

"And the Akatsuki... is that what the Raikage suspects?"

The Fourth Raikage nodded, then stood up and looked out the window.

"What that person said back then was that an enemy surpassing Madara Uchiha's power would appear, and now this Akatsuki organization is no simple matter."

"The Sand Village may have declined, but it remains one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. With just two members, they managed to kidnap the Kazekage, who was also a Jinchūriki!"

The emphasis was placed on the term "human jinchūriki".

Mabui, standing nearby, spoke up: "Lord Yukito will be here soon. Should we go to Yunlei Gorge to inform Lord Bi?"

The Fourth Raikage turned around: "Does that bastard think about holding his concert every day and having him come and cause trouble? It's pointless for him to come."

Just then, Yukito arrived.

Accompanying her was the latest intelligence from Konoha.

The Fourth Raikage's scroll opened: "Shukaku within the Fifth Kazekage has been extracted."

???

At the same time, all of them looked over.

Yugito exclaimed in shock, "With the Tailed Beast extracted, the Jinchuriki can't possibly survive!"

The Fourth Raikage said, "Our spies know these basic things very well. But they don't know the specific reason, though the One-Tailed Beast has indeed been obtained by the Akatsuki."

"It seems this organization is operating by collecting the Tailed Beasts. Do they want to obtain the Tailed Beasts and control this strategic power?"

Meanwhile, the two-tailed Matatabi inside the wooden body was also pondering.

"I need to go to Konoha."

"Huh? At this time?"

"Hearing that the One-Tailed Beast was extracted, I could sense that something was wrong. And since Naruto Uzumaki was involved in the rescue, the Nine-Tailed Beast inside him might know something."

"Okay, let me ask first."

In reality, Yugito said, "The Two-Tails said it needs to go to Konoha. Its motives for collecting the Tailed Beasts have made it uneasy as well."

After speaking, the Fourth Raikage hesitated for a moment.

After the death of the Third Hokage, the destruction of Root and the killing of Danzo, Konoha had no choice but to find Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, to serve as Hokage.

This is a Kage completely different from Hiruzen Sarutobi. I met him once. Although he has hemophobia, he is exceptionally firm in his principles.

Moreover, intelligence from Konoha indicates that the other party's symptoms have improved.

Tsunade is a woman who will not budge an inch on her bottom line, and the relationship between Kumogakure and Konoha is not good at the moment, after all, the Uchiha defected from Konoha and joined Kumogakure.

At this moment, Mabui, who was holding documents, spoke up: "If the other side's goal is really the Tailed Beasts, then all five great ninja villages will inevitably be their targets. So, before eliminating this enemy, the five great ninja villages might actually cooperate."

"Of course. The premise is that the organization's combat strength is truly superior to that of Uchiha Madara. In that case, Kumogakure, which first proposed a joint resistance, would inevitably have an advantage in overall command."

The Fourth Raikage thought for a moment and nodded.

Mabui's wisdom can be trusted, and there's even less reason for Uchiha Un to deceive me about the information he provided back then.

"Ask Konoha about everything that happened in Sunagakure, and reveal that we know something about the Akatsuki, and they'll take the bait."

Mabuyi nodded and then left.

Darui sighed as well; the peaceful days seemed to be coming to an end, and troubles were bound to increase.

After thinking for a moment, Darui looked at the Fourth Raikage.

If the enemy is someone who surpasses the likes of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, is there anyone in Kumogakure... or even the Five Great Shinobi Villages who can stand against them?

……

At the same time, the immortal duo, dressed in black uniforms with red clouds and wearing straw hats, appeared at the gate of Kumogakure.

"One of the Five Great Ninja Villages... If they could all become followers of the Jashin-sama, hahaha!"

Hidan was somewhat arrogant, but as he and Kakuzu approached, the Cloud Village ninja guarding the gate immediately activated the alert.

For a time, the immortal duo were completely unaware of what was happening until they were surrounded.

"Looks like we've been discovered... It seems our plan to capture the Two-Tails has failed. Let's launch a full-scale attack."

"We can kill them all and offer them to the great evil god."

"Let's begin. If the opportunity arises, let's lure the Two-Tails Jinchuriki away, and then execute our capture plan?"

The two spoke quite loudly, and their open and frank discussion seemed to show no disdain for the Cloud Village ninjas.

In a fit of rage, a figure charged straight at them.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

A thunderclap sounded, and a layer of lightning on the ground rendered it immobile.

Then...

The scythe flew out in March, and a head rose into the air, blood spurting from its neck.

"Be careful!"

"asshole!"

"Just kill them!"

……

Amidst the roars, the few who had been told to only stand by were charged forward again.

"Bang!"

A fist covered in earthly resentment rose from the ground, killing one person with a single blow.

The next second, the light flashed and disappeared.

The kunai, completely enveloped in lightning, shot out, but only managed to destroy one of the clones.

Fire Release: Head Engraving!

Flames swept through, engulfing the Chunin who couldn't escape. He landed dead.

"Then let's make a huge scene!"

In an instant, the two charged into the crowd.

The Earth Grudge Fear's attack method was very special. With the appearance of three masks and the combination of ninjutsu, the people who surrounded it had no way to deal with it.

"Whoosh!"

The lightning-encased hand blade sent the March Scythe flying back, and then, amidst flashes of lightning, it appeared before Kakuzu again.

The hand chop went straight for his heart.

"Bang!"

With no way to parry, Kakuzu withdrew and retreated.

"The Fourth Raikage... such speed is astonishing."

"But you need to know that your combat experience is far inferior to mine."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a blue flame attacked, which Kakuzu casually dodged.

"boom!!"

The ground exploded, and lightning struck again in an instant.

"Bang."

This time, Hidan blocked with his Tri-Moon Scythe, giving Kakuzu time to retreat.

"That hurts... This kind of lightning attack is really powerful... Fourth Raikage."

The Fourth Raikage, who had stopped, raised his hand, causing the group of Cloud Village ninja who were about to assist to stop as well.

The two clashes had already shown him that the two people in front of him were not weak, and that anyone else who got involved, except for himself and Yugito, would surely be killed.

"dawn?"

"Hmm? They already know? It seems that Kumogakure has many spies planted in the Five Great Shinobi Villages."

The Fourth Raikage stared directly at the two: "Just the two of you? It seems your leader doesn't intend to let you leave alive."

Kakuzu calmly replied, "This method is useless, and it's only about capturing the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. The two of us are enough."

His calm yet extremely arrogant attitude infuriated the Fourth Raikage.

The lightning instantly covered his entire body, its speed reaching an unbelievable level.

"boom!"

A flash of lightning, and Kakuzu didn't even see a figure before being pierced through the heart and thrown out.

His body fell to the ground, twitched for a moment, and then became still.

The Fourth Raikage looked at Hidan: "Tell me the details about the Akatsuki organization, and maybe I can let you go."

Hidan was a little confused at this moment.

The Finance Minister who had been claiming to have fought the First Hokage was dead?

As for the torture, Hidan showed no fear and continued to look at the Fourth Raikage.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand.

"Take him back! I need to know all of Akatsuki's information..."

Hidan was sealed and his limbs were bound very tightly. Then the Cloud Village's interrogation department came in, and screams and cries of terror rang out, sometimes even exceeding the limits.

……

Night fell, but the Raikage Building in Kumogakure was already brightly lit.

"Their goal is the Tailed Beasts!"

The Fourth Raikage looked at Yugito: "The One-Tail has been extracted, and now it's the Two-Tail's turn. It seems they need to follow a certain order when extracting the Tailed Beasts. Did the Two-Tail discover anything?"

From the very beginning, Yugito's face was always filled with worry.

"It said: This order might mean that the other party's goal is to obtain the power of all the Tailed Beasts. The Ten-Tails once divided its chakra to create the Tailed Beasts, and then stole their chakra to fuse with them, perhaps for the same purpose."

The Fourth Raikage looked at Mabui: "Have the interrogation department speed things up. I must get information about Akatsuki tonight, no matter what!"

Mabui, who was acting as the secretary, came out, but she quickly returned.

"Lord Raikage, no one is answering the phone at the interrogation department."

"Um?"

The Fourth Raikage stood up and pondered for two seconds.

"Bang!"

The window shattered, and a bolt of lightning flashed past, heading straight for the interrogation department.

However, before they even arrived, a strong smell of blood wafted towards them.

"asshole!!!"

With a roar, the torture chamber in front of the Fourth Raikage was already a river of blood.

Everyone was killed. The entire interrogation department was wiped out?

The Fourth Raikage looked to the side; was that something belonging to another Akatsuki member left behind here?

That Kakuzu...

He didn't die?

The Fourth Raikage clearly remembered that his hand chop must have pierced the other's heart, but even so, could he still survive?

"Click-clack".

His hands clenched into fists, but quickly relaxed.

"Whoosh!"

An operative from the secret service appeared.

"Inform Yugito that she must immediately proceed to Yunlei Gorge and is not permitted to leave with Bi. Tell her this is my order!"

"clear!"

……

The Fourth Raikage had been sitting in the interrogation room for a long time.

Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha, who had just completed his mission, returned to the village.

After listening to him, Uchiha Sasuke sat down next to him.

"That guy who came back from the dead said he once fought Hashirama Senju. If that's the case, investigating his information would require going back to the early days of the ninja village."

"The fact that he could be resurrected after being killed might mean he wasn't killed in the first place, or perhaps he had more than one life, right?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a secret agent fell.

"Lord Raikage, a fragment of a mask has been found at the site of the battle at the village entrance."
