Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 428 The Twenty-Second Transaction

Dying during the Third Shinobi World War would have been the best outcome...

Orochimaru's words echoed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind. Unlike Hashirama Senju and others, he knew the strength of the person in front of him.

Resistance or anything else is meaningless. When the other party said that Konoha still existed, it proved that their hostility was only directed at themselves and Danzo.

So what the other party said at this time... couldn't be more true.

If he had died in battle at that time, Danzo would have had no chance with the help of Jiraiya and the families in the village.

The Uchiha clan was disliked by everyone, and if it weren't for him, the Root clan would probably be gone long ago.

In that case...

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to look at Minato Namikaze beside him. Kushina and Fugaku's wife had a good relationship, which was a prerequisite, a prerequisite for being able to do good for the Uchiha.

In addition to Shisui and Itachi, these two Uchiha who possessed the talent to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan were more inclined towards the village.

With the combined strength of all the clans, and the Golden Flash and two of the three, the Hidden Cloud Village at that time might not have dared to launch a war.

Thoughts kept flashing through his mind. Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi's body was resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, it seemed as if he had lost all his energy and spirit.

"Hiss..."

Orochimaru laughed, looking at his teacher: "Old man... your personality is too cowardly. As an orphan whose parents died because of Konoha, to become your disciple, do you think I should thank you or hate you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi kept his head down, as if he hadn't heard a word.

Tobirama Senju, however, sighed, glanced at the clouds, and then looked at Orochimaru: "Perhaps I made the wrong choice back then..."

Yun replied, "Perhaps it should be said that you had no choice. If Danzo's personality had made him Hokage, Konoha would have become the second Village of the Bloody Mist. Hiruzen Sarutobi was called a hero of the ninja, but he was just getting old."

"Uchiha Kagami... Back then, there was absolutely no chance for the Uchiha to become Hokage. Without recognition, you have no choice."

Hashirama Senju yawned at this moment: "We're all dead already. Even if you wake us up, we still can't beat this Uchiha junior. You might as well send me back first."

These words enraged Tobirama Senju: "Brother! How could you... allow an Uchiha to obtain such power, especially considering their clan was soon wiped out by Konoha?"

Before he could finish speaking, Hashirama Senju twisted his wrist and slapped him across the face.

"He wasn't targeting Konoha... I've said it from the beginning, because Izuna's death has made you too ignorant about the Uchiha clan."

"Prejudice... The Uchiha clan's path to awakening the Sharingan requires understanding love and then losing it. This method of gaining power will only lead the Uchiha clan deeper into a vicious cycle!"

"That's why I call it prejudice! The power of the eye that erupts when bonds are lost after understanding love is itself a power gained to protect those bonds and prevent their loss!"

Hashirama Senju looked at Uchiha Yun: "They clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment. The Uchiha clan also yearns for peace; otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to stay in Konoha. And the Sharingan is a power that is activated for the sake of protection."

Yun seemed lost in thought...

The First Hokage's manuscript was exactly the same as the large book he left for the Uchiha clan back then.

Under this understanding, the Uchiha clan also has members who awaken the Sharingan up to the three-tomoe level.

The trigger for an emotional outburst is not just killing one's own bonds; such a person would only become a psychopath.

"Clap clap clap..."

Yun clapped lightly and looked at the four figures on the rock wall: "Alright, that's the end of the impromptu show. I'm just a dead man, and all this talk was just to see your reactions."

After saying that, Yun turned around and looked directly at Orochimaru: "So... have you made up your mind now?"

Orochimaru bowed slightly: "At the very least... I don't want to die right now, and surrendering is clearly the best option."

Standing up, Orochimaru asked, "With your power, I don't know what I can do for you..."

Yun looked at the four nailed figures and asked, "How do you think world peace can be achieved?"

Peace?

For a moment, all the shadows, including those from the four previous generations, fell into deep thought.

This concept seems to be what people in this world have always pursued. Whether it was Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, they believed that ending the Warring States period and the formation of ninja villages would stop the war.

But it is clear that the scale of the war has expanded.

"Since the end of the Warring States period, large-scale wars throughout the ninja world have been caused by the Five Great Ninja Villages. The hatred accumulated over such a long period of time is irreconcilable."

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with excitement as he spoke: "If you... are willing to completely annihilate the Five Great Shinobi Villages, erase all hatred, and establish a new order from scratch..."

Orochimaru!!

Amidst his angry shouts, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked over: "Destroying everything is not true peace! Destroying everything will only breed new hatred!"

Hashirama Senju said, "Only through mutual understanding and a shared understanding can there be true peace."

Minato Namikaze: "Human desires are uncontrollable, and mutual understanding is extremely rare. If there is true peace, the first step must indeed be to erase all past hatred..."

"This kind of annihilation does not refer to utter slaughter. Slaughter only incites a new wave of hatred."

hatred……

Uchiha Yun sighed: "If you were still alive, everything would have turned out differently. Naruto missed you terribly, but you chose to leave."

Minato Namikaze smiled wryly: "Kushina...she wanted to see what Naruto would look like when he grew up..."

That's all; no further explanation is needed.

He himself admitted that as Hokage, he was just as unqualified as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Orochimaru.

Yun said, "We will collect the flesh and blood of the strongest ninjas throughout history, and use the Impure World Reincarnation technique as a basis to eliminate all hatred during the Fourth Shinobi World War."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

The Fourth Shinobi World War?

clear?

Collect the flesh and blood of powerful figures from past dynasties?

So, is killing necessary?

Orochimaru licked his lips: "You... are you going to help that masked guy?"

Upon hearing this, Yun looked at Minato Namikaze with interest: "Obito Uchiha is nothing but a fool. He wants to obtain the power of the Ten-Tails, but he will eventually die at Sasuke's hands."

Obito?

So... it was Obito?

Minato Namikaze's gaze was complex, but it ultimately turned into a sigh.

"Send them back."

Orochimaru nodded and finished the Impure World Reincarnation by forming hand seals.

Ash-like scraps of paper danced in the air as the four figures from Konoha's past generations vanished.

The black iron plate retracted, and the soul was freed from its restraints and departed.

"You...have you achieved your goal?"

"You guessed right, the objective has been basically achieved. That old woman in the moon, if she wants to come out, she'll have to make a deal with me."

There was no concealment whatsoever, because there was no need to.

Once power is established, scheming and plotting become meaningless.

But Orochimaru's expression turned serious once again.

A simple sentence, yet it seems to touch upon a huge secret.

The old woman in the moon...

"Don't overthink it. This world isn't as simple as you think. Chakra didn't exist before the Sage of Six Paths' ninjutsu."

Yun exhaled as she spoke.

In fact, even I don't know all the secrets of this world.

Even everything we do now is in preparation for that so-called God.

This world is no longer the world of illusion. The grand illusions of the beginning were merely the formation of a key.

If we don't make any changes, we might be able to see God appear in this world ahead of time.

……

Three months later.

Over the course of three months, the initial location for the Five Kage Summit was chosen to be the Land of Iron.

With the support of Sunagakure and Kumogakure, Konoha also successfully obtained the position of commander-in-chief.

Iwagakure's Onoki was unwilling, but under pressure from Akatsuki's detailed intelligence, he had no choice but to reluctantly accept Konoha's leadership.

As for Mei Terumi of Kirigakure, after the Fourth Mizukage was controlled and then mysteriously killed, she was well aware of the Akatsuki's power and could only cooperate.

The formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces was agreed upon by the higher-ups.

On an island in the ocean, Sasuke and Killer Bee, along with Naruto, began practicing the most basic Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

……

This is the twenty-second transaction...

Uchiha Yun looked up at the moon overhead; it was almost midnight.

As the final boss, his deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki would have been an instant rise to power at the beginning, but now... it's just for chakra.

The power of this world revolves around chakra, and ultimately, what is needed to reach the top step by step is also chakra.

"asshole!"

"What are you trying to do?!"

"Your mother will not let you get away with this!"

"Once Mother comes out, a bastard like you will be utterly killed!"

"Let me go!"

"Mother..."

Amidst the insults, Black Zetsu was used as a medium to vanish directly.

The intelligence exchange has been successfully launched.

[Enable Shadow Mode?]

no!

The surrounding scenery slowly changed, forming the final scene of the Fourth Shinobi World War in my memory.

Then, Kaguya Otsutsuki, dressed in white with long hair falling to the ground, also arrived at this space.

"I...am I out?"

"No, it's just that I thought I could make a deal with you, so I brought you here. In a little while, you'll be sealed away again."

go back?

Sealed...

In that instant, the loneliness and emptiness of being sealed away for thousands of years made Kaguya Otsutsuki look at her suddenly.

"No! I will never go back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was no abnormality in the space behind him, and the spatial passage could not be opened.

Amanominaka... useless?

"Is it you?"

A soft yet undeniable voice rang out, followed by a gray bone spur that shot straight toward Uchiha Kumo.

"Whoosh!"

The bone spur stopped halfway and could not advance any further.

The Shared Kill Ash Bones, which was meant to be a fatal blow, was annihilated without even being touched.

"How could that be?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki was stunned.

Yun said, "Even if you've absorbed the Chakra Fruit, you still can't violate the rules here. Think about it carefully; the rules here should already be in your mind."

rule?

Just as doubt arose, a form of information appeared in Kaguya Otsutsuki's mind.

"Divine magic?"

Kaguya was stunned. The ability to implant information directly into her mind like this—at her level, only divine magic could achieve that…

“Who…who are you?”

Slightly frightened, she believed this special trading space, with its implanted rules, was the space of the Otsutsuki god.

Yun slowly spoke, "If divine arts mean rules, then you can also consider the characteristics of this space as divine arts."

"Let's make a deal... I can help you break the seal, and you give me your chips."

silence……

After a long pause, Kaguya Otsutsuki looked up at Uchiha Yun: "That wasn't your divine technique just now; perhaps it's more accurate to say it was different here. That information also restricted you?"

As they were talking, Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly froze.

"Your body... contains Hagoromo's chakra... You... are a descendant of Hagoromo and the others..."

A faint glimmer of tears welled up in Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes as she clenched her fists.

There was some hatred, and some heartache, but mostly sadness and incomprehension.

Such gazes were unbearable for Yun.

My mother looked at me like that once, many years ago. Her emotions were off, but her eyes were the same.

"I am not Hagoromo or Hamura. They are your sons, but I am not. There is indeed the chakra of Indra and Ashura within me, which combined to form the basis of Hagoromo Otsutsuki."

Yun looked at Kaguya as she spoke: "The backup plan you left behind, Black Zetsu no longer exists. If you want to break the seal now, you can only rely on me."

Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned: "Why...why should I believe you?"

Yun replied, "You have no choice but to trust me, or you will have to go back and remain sealed in the moon. And this transaction is bound by the spatial contract."

A contract...

Kaguya pondered, having just witnessed the wonder of this space, bound by divine magic.

He did not accept the Ten-Tails, but his abilities and power remained bound.

And Black Zetsu... is he already dead?

The chips represent one's own abilities; handing over the chips means that the person in front of you will gain your abilities.

"How many... chips do you want?"

Yun replied, "Three. Three chips. I'll sign a contract with you and remove your seal."

Kaguya's gaze drifted to the distance: "That's... the Divine Tree... I don't think I need your help."

Uchiha Yun also looked over: "Perhaps you can take a closer look. I told you, no one but me can let you out."

For a moment, Kaguya remained silent.
