Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 439 Talent

The Ten-Tails' resurrection requires the chakra of all nine tailed beasts. At this moment, the Ten-Tails has already obtained all the chakra of the One-Tail to the Eight-Tail, and the remaining Nine-Tails has also obtained half of it from the Fourth Hokage, who was resurrected through Edo Tensei.

In fact, under these circumstances, Obito was already ready to take the next step and become the so-called Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

But he didn't, because even after seeing the power of the Ten-Tails, he still wasn't confident he could fight that person, that guy who had been so relaxed and carefree from beginning to end.

He only had half of the Nine-Tails' chakra left, but he still wanted to obtain it so that the Ten-Tails could become his jinchūriki in its most perfect form.

"boom!!!"

The Ten-Tails stretched out its arm and slammed down. The immense power was so great that even the Fourth Raikage needed Onoki's help to barely repel it.

As for breaking through defenses...

After a series of battles, the battlefield had long since become a sinkhole more than ten meters deep, but neither the Rasengan shuriken nor the successive attacks of the Five Kage could break through the Ten-Tails' defenses.

Only Susanoo Blade imbued with Amaterasu's fire can cause the flames to dissipate by splitting the opponent.

The masked man, who seemed to be looking down on everyone from above, stood atop the Ten-Tails like a god.

Amidst the roar, the Nine-Tails in its armored form was once again repelled, and its Kurama Mode was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.

"Give up..."

Looking down at Naruto, who was gritting his teeth, Obito said, "In this cursed world, there has always been only hatred and darkness between people. Only true power can bring peace."

"Buzz..."

The golden Nine-Tails chakra dissipated, the armor reformed, and Naruto and Sasuke stood atop the Susanoo.

"How can peace be true peace if everyone lives in constant fear and uncertainty?"

"Human feelings are universal! True peace can come as long as we can trust each other!"

Naruto looked exhausted, but his body remained straight, with one hand resting on his abdomen.

"I know what it feels like to be unappreciated, and I know the pain of a friend being forced to leave because of the village..."

"People may distrust, deceive, and hurt each other for various reasons... But even so, I cannot forget... I cannot forget the beauty between people..."

"Being recognized...being trusted...being protected...being accepted! Haven't you experienced these things? Forgetting the good because of painful experiences, choosing to let everyone live under oppression, this is not the peace I want."

"Chakra is the power of protection, establishing connections and understanding. It's a power that allows one to trust another as long as they believe in them! And I..."

"I want to gain everyone's trust! To gain everyone's recognition! To become Hokage, to strive to change this world, and to allow everyone to abandon hatred!"

"That's why... the Allied Shinobi Forces exist!"

Naruto's roar echoed across the battlefield, yet his seemingly ordinary words seemed to conceal another kind of power—the power to change people's hearts.

The five Kage, along with the high-ranking officials of the five great ninja villages, all had received information about Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

From the Chunin Exams to the Uchiha joining the Hidden Cloud Village, the influence of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can be seen in everything.

At this moment, that special power seems to be affecting everyone's hearts without their noticing.

The war, which lasted for several days, resulted in the highest number of casualties among the five major ninja villages since the establishment of the ninja village system.

From mutual hatred and animosity, to these days of mutual support and rescue.

The ninja symbol on everyone's headbands flashed through everyone's minds, and everything from the past gradually faded away in this war with its enormous casualties.

Obito, standing atop the Ten-Tails, was also deeply moved.

Become Hokage?

Such a ridiculous dream...

"I'll be watching you!"

A voice rang in Obito's mind, and then a scene appeared.

At that time, when he fell from the tree, his bold words were not ridiculed. Rin smiled and said that she would watch over him and watch him become Hokage.

For a moment, the image of Naruto on Susanoo overlapped with his own childhood self.

"Becoming Hokage... but that doesn't save the world..."

Obito looked down at Onoki: "Back then, Hashirama, as the First Hokage, could easily have overwhelmed you with his power, but after him... the Fourth Shinobi World War began."

Onoki, carried on the back of the Fourth Raikage, struggled to lift his head, his hunched body gradually straightening.

"Perhaps... We were the same back then, or rather, before this war, I had never changed. The purpose of the alliance was only because of you, and after this, the ninja world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) will return to the past."

"But now..."

"The Raikage saved me countless times, and I saved him countless times, as have the ninjas from both villages. As for Naruto... I'm old now, but I want to see if his future will change the world."

Gaara stepped forward: "No one likes war. I've always believed that Naruto will be the one to change the world."

The Fourth Raikage looked at Susanoo, and for a moment, those words from back then floated into his mind.

They... will change the world, and they will determine the future of the world.

……

In an instant, the words of the Five Kage solidified Naruto's stance and will, making him the center of the battlefield.

At this moment, the Nine-Tails in the sealed land regained its chakra, and golden light reappeared.

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

As the clones descended, streams of chakra were separated, and the elite Jonin and the Five Kage who remained on the battlefield all sensed this new power.

Above Susanoo.

"You should know that the role they can play is negligible."

"No... I'm thinking about more than just now. This war has gone on for a long time, and it's no longer just about defeating him."

Sasuke paused, a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Naruto.

He understood, but the wisdom within it seemed completely beyond what Naruto could have conceived.

Peace in the future?

If we cannot get everyone to abandon hatred and trust each other, then with the Infinite Tsukuyomi abandoned, perhaps winning and losing won't make much difference.

……

In the dark cave.

Uchiha Yun frowned slightly as he watched Naruto make his declaration.

Although the world has not been changed much, it has even been corrected again and again because of its existence.

Even so, Naruto's trajectory has changed drastically. At least after Sasuke obtained the Eternal Eye, Naruto's contact with other villages should not have reached this point.

Gaara might have made up for the lost bond during the previous Kazekage rescue mission, but a lot was lost, so the impact shouldn't be this deep.

Is it talent that persuades people?

Or was his perception altered for some reason, like Obito's before him?

"It seems... Sasuke has made a very good friend."

Yun turned to look at Itachi: "You never know, even if he's my boyfriend..."

Itachi's eyes widened in an instant.

(D)

For a moment, Orochimaru and Kabuto exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Yun continued to look out of the passage.

Soon, those who had gathered the Nine-Tails' chakra came together, seemingly focusing all their power on sharpness.

Under the cover of Susanoo, the formation was like a sharp blade, cutting through the Ten-Tails and hitting the target—the connection between Obito and the Ten-Tails.

The Ten-Tails, now out of control, went berserk. Even with the Nine-Tails in its armor, the combined power of the Tailed Beast Ball could only barely alter its trajectory.

In the chaos, no one noticed that a figure enveloped in golden chakra entered the Ten-Tails' mouth.

On the other side, Obito, who was wearing a mask, was also confronted by Kakashi and Guy. Not long after, his mask was shattered due to Kakashi deliberately holding back.

Just like in his memory, Obito's recognition threw Kakashi into a state of confusion.

However, persuaded by Naruto's talent, he pierced Obito's chest in another dimension.

However... it pierced not only Obito's heart, but also the cursed seal talisman left by Madara Uchiha in his heart.

"Cough cough cough!"

Obito coughed up a mouthful of blood but didn't seem to care, even smiling as he formed hand seals.

The next moment, the still raging Ten-Tails was absorbed into its body, and a white sphere suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield.

"Is that so...?"

Uchiha Yun smiled as he watched all this.

If, at this moment on the battlefield, one adds their own backup plan, then everything will return to its original course.

The shadow clone entered the Ten-Tails' body, presumably into a deeper level of consciousness, where it would obtain the chakra of the other eight tailed beasts.

After the shadow clones dissipate, the chakra will return to Naruto's main body, just like the natural energy of Sage Mode.

After the Ten-Tails has been revived, the Nine-Tails inside Naruto probably already knows that all the conditions for him to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki have been met.

A direct confrontation would be impossible, but Naruto, who possesses the chakra of all the tailed beasts, can amplify the opponent's weaknesses.

In other words, when Obito became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, the wills of the nine tailed beasts within him would resist, while also creating opportunities.

Thinking of this, a black figure materialized beneath Uchiha Yun's feet.

"Lord Yun, is it necessary for me to make my appearance?"

Yun looked at the newly formed Black Zetsu before him and said, "It's not time yet, but have you remembered everything I told you before?"

The new generation of Black Zetsu nodded: "With just a bit of Madara Uchiha's chakra, he won't notice my difference."

Orochimaru.

As Yun's voice rang out, Orochimaru stood up and slapped down with one hand.

The art of spiritual communication.

A coffin appeared, inside which was the reanimated form of Uchiha Madara.

He did not regain his senses; only a portion of his chakra was contained by Black Zetsu.

"Black Zetsu?"

Pinned to the rock wall, Itachi Uchiha frowned, still pondering the situation surrounding Black Zetsu's appearance.

But after Madara Uchiha's Edo Tensei appeared, he became even more confused.

Now it seems that the person in front of us must be the mastermind behind everything.

However, the things the other party did before and after could not be connected at all.

If the goal was to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, then why save Uchiha Izumi in the first place? And why did Orochimaru and Kabuto help him? Did they all die together?

"You seem confused..."

Yun looked at Itachi: "That's why I said that if you were to take over Shisui's place with your brain, it would only end in tragedy."

With that, Yun waved to Black Zetsu: "Go. Hide and communicate with the remaining White Zetsu, so that you can take over Obito's body if an accident occurs."

"He will die at Sasuke's hands, but he will also need to use the Rinne Rebirth technique to revive Madara Uchiha in the end."

Black Zetsu nodded, then vanished in a flash, disappearing into the battlefield through a spatial passage.

Orochimaru licked his lips. "I... can't understand your scheme anymore. But those Rinnegan, they should belong to the real Madara Uchiha, right?"

"If that's the case, then Obito Uchiha was actually Madara Uchiha behind him... It seems my guess was right. When we found this body, all the clues actually connected."

"So Madara Uchiha's goal was also the Infinite Tsukuyomi? The same as your will, right?"

Yun replied, "He is just another pawn on the chessboard."

Yun smiled with a hint of amusement as she spoke.

"The Uchiha clan... it seems like there hasn't been a single one with a decent brain from beginning to end. From our ancestor Indra, to Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Shisui, Fugaku, and this guy."

"There are tons of mentally ill people, but not a single one of them is even remotely intelligent. Hashirama Senju's peace plan was shattered, but if Madara Uchiha had any brains, his plan might have had a chance of success."

Madara Uchiha's plan?

Orochimaru thought of some of the documents he had read.

To subjugate all other ninja villages and unify the ninja world with absolute power.

At that time, Madara Uchiha, one of the two heroes of the ninja world, had the strength, but unfortunately, Hashirama Senju was also blocking him.

The battle at the Valley of the End caused him to disappear from public view, and Hashirama Senju died shortly afterward.

The person described in the records seems to be all domineering and not much of a brain outside of fighting.

Looking at the battlefield outside the passage, Uchiha Yun continued, "If he had any sense, peace should have been achieved more than seventy years ago. In a world with extraordinary power, a world with natural energy and chakra, once the energy problem is solved, resources will no longer be a problem."

"With the resource problem solved, the rule of the daimyo could be overthrown with just a few ordinary people. And ninjas... were able to take on some special jobs afterward."

"Seventy years is enough time for the adjustment to be completed after one generation passes away. In the decades that follow, the hatred will have faded, and everyone will gradually accept the new system and social model."

At this point, Yun turned to Orochimaru and said, "The power of the Dragon Vein, or the power of the Grell Stone after natural energy crystallizes, and the omnipresent natural energy—I need you to create something that can utilize these energies and transform them into resources."

Orochimaru bowed slightly: "Isn't this where my value lies?"
