Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 43 People from the Root

The difference is so huge?

In just one exchange, he was rendered powerless to resist; in an instant, even the Crow Stand was too late.

At this moment, Itachi's mentality was about to collapse.

Despite being hailed as a genius since childhood and graduating from the Ninja Academy in just one year, he couldn't even withstand a single blow from Kuma.

"No, even Shisui's Body Flicker Technique couldn't achieve this! My eyes clearly tell me that you completely anticipated my movements just now."

As Itachi spoke, he turned around and stared at the clouds.

Yun smiled and replied, "So you haven't reached the level of me and Shisui yet, so just be a good genin. In any case, Shisui and I will lead the Uchiha clan onto the right path, after all... we really like this village."

Itachi frowned slightly, nodded, and replied, "I understand, but I will also strive to reach your level. The path that my father lost his life for, I will continue to walk."

……

"Whoosh!"

A slight sound echoed through the woods. Yun smiled and said, "The Chunin instructors from the academy? But isn't this commotion underestimating Tokuma?"

Itachi, standing nearby, thought for a moment and said, "Although they're training Chunin, they're not someone ordinary students can handle. But choosing this time, they probably want to take advantage of my absence."

Yun looked at him: "Speaking of which, how come you've been a genin for two years? Didn't you go to the Chunin Exams?"

Itachi shook his head: "Because of a mission, both Shinko and Tenma were injured, and that's when my three-tomoe orb was activated."

As it spoke, Itachi looked towards the direction of the tents in the distance: "Aren't you worried about them?"

Yun replied calmly, "Although Tokuma is from the Hyuga branch family, his use of the Byakugan is quite good. And there's also Izumi, who is not weak either, except for her Sharingan."

"Tell me about the mission where you awakened your three-tomoe Sharingan..."

Itachi paused, taken aback. "You suspect there's something wrong here?"

After a moment's thought, Itachi nodded and said, "That mission was indeed a bit strange. A C-rank escort mission ended up attracting a large number of ninjas along the way. At that time, I only had the Sharingan with two tomoe, and even Mizuki-sensei was held back."

"The mission level changed during the mission, so we abandoned it. But it was clear that the other side was prepared, and my counterattack at the last moment was a bit too easy."

"It went so smoothly, it was as if the other party was doing it on purpose!"

Yun asked, "Did the successful counterattack begin after activating the Three-Tomoe skill?"

Itachi nodded: "While the evolution of these eyes did indeed enhance my strength, it wasn't decisive at that time."

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Yun let out a breath. It seemed Danzo's sights were now set on Itachi. But then again, he was the Uchiha's genius child, awakening his two tomoe at the age of five.

In terms of the Sharingan, Danzo believed that he was inferior to Itachi. Without the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan was nothing in his eyes.

"I remember reminding you before... why didn't you use the crow that Shisui gave you?"

Itachi was slightly embarrassed: "At first I was prepared to handle it myself, but then..."

The rest is history; Uchiha later developed his characteristic red-eye disease, which led to the creation of the Three-Tomoe.

Is this a common ailment among geniuses?

……

As the two talked, they arrived at the tent where they had set up to rest. Itachi, standing to the side, had already taken out his kunai and was ready for battle.

Two people wearing ordinary masks were seen outside the tent, holding Tokuma and Izumi under kunai and forcing them out.

"Are you asking us to surrender?" Yun asked with a smile.

"You two, if you don't want your comrade to get hurt, you'd better surrender now!"

Yun's eyes twitched at the words of the two kidnappers opposite him. He looked at Itachi and wondered if they should cooperate.

"Bang."

Itachi threw the kunai on the ground, and the two of them simultaneously raised their hands in surrender.

The kidnappers opposite him laughed smugly: "It seems that you so-called Uchiha geniuses are nothing special after all, surrendering so easily."

Another accomplice was about to step forward and tie up Yun and You, but stopped in his tracks the next moment.

Yun, who had just surrendered, was now standing behind the two men, with a kunai in his hand held against their necks.

Just as the two kidnappers were about to call for their accomplices, they saw that Tokuma and Izumi, who were in front of them, were also being held in the abdomen by two kunai from Itachi.

"Although we don't see each other often, your transformation technique is quite different from the one I just saw Tokuma." Itachi said, putting away his kunai.

Yun, who was behind them, released the two and said awkwardly, "Who wrote your lines for this exercise? It was so embarrassing! You want the ninjas to surrender? Raising a hand is considered surrender?"

The four kidnappers took off their masks, revealing themselves to be teachers from the ninja academy who taught there every day.

One of them said with a wry smile, "Because we weren't familiar with each other, I didn't even dare to speak to him, and you guys still managed to find out."

Yun scratched his head. Quan has his own Flying Thunder God Technique, so no matter how you change it, it won't work.

At this moment, the real Tokuma Izumi returned from the woods, bringing back two prisoners, who were also teachers at the Ninja Academy.

The two looked at the scene before them and immediately understood. Izumi ran over with a grin and said, "So, teacher, you were planning to use the transformation technique on my brother? You miscalculated, didn't you?"

One of the so-called homeroom teachers said with a wry smile, "We all know you're not easy to deal with, so none of you come. We had no choice but to come up with this trick."

Tokuma glanced at Kumo and Itachi. How many Chunin were there to deal with these two? And they were even training Chunin? Wasn't that just sending them to their deaths?

……

On the morning of the third day, Itachi's team, having casually achieved a ranking, returned to school.

Looking at Itachi ahead, Uchiha Izumi asked Yun, "Brother, I also want to awaken the Sharingan. Itachi's eyes are so beautiful."

Yun looked at her younger sister. Compared to her memories, her sister's personality had changed a lot because of her existence.

I don't know what that girl, who awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at the tender age of thirteen, went through on that night of her clan's annihilation. But for now, perhaps the best protection for her is to never open her Sharingan again?

"Those eyes can only be opened after experiencing pain."

Yun gently patted Quan's head as she spoke: "If possible, I hope you never open those eyes again. I'll protect you if you're in danger, believe me."

……

After the exercise, the school was closed for the holidays, and Yun and Quan prepared to go home together.

However, before even reaching the Uchiha clan's territory, Yun looked towards a distant corner.

"Whoosh!"

Two figures appeared in front of Yun and Quan, wearing masks different from those of the Anbu, and the swords on their backs and the armor on their upper bodies were very familiar.

"Uchiha Un, come with us."

……

There are only ten days left until the second investment criterion is met. Those who haven't invested yet should hurry!
