Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 490 Uchiha Flame

Being without desires does not mean having no desires at all.

Just as the Otsutsuki clan has a desire for chakra and to absorb the world's nourishment, what they lack is the emotion that ordinary humans care about.

The scene of Momoshiki devouring Kinshiki in the alternate dimension illustrates the Otsutsuki clan's view on emotions: they will not hesitate when needed, and their very existence is for this moment.

However, the Otsutsuki also had some fears, and the fact that they could live forever made them even more afraid of losing their lives than ordinary people.

That is why things like wedges exist.

……

At this moment, Urashiki was still struggling in his mind. He could feel his consciousness being shattered, but he was still unwilling to be swallowed up like this.

"You're nothing but a expendable pawn! A pawn sent to the battlefield! Does anyone even care about your existence? Nobody!"

"For over twenty years, besides that stone remembering your existence, who else remembers your existence?"

"A brat who's just become a ninja, your role is insignificant! You're even hiding a single ninjutsu technique; do you really think anyone will care about you?"

"More than twenty years have passed. How many of the people you cared about back then still remember you? Probably none at all."

"Even if you were to return alive now, those people would probably be more terrified, wouldn't they?"

"Your existence is superfluous. You know nothing about the power of the Otsutsuki. Starting from scratch, you will never be able to fully control this power!"

"Oh right! And also! And Konoha!"

"Do you know what your planet is facing? Gods! Gods of the Otsutsuki clan! Give me this body, and I will stand with you. I too was deceived into coming to this world!"

"The power of this body belongs to me; only I can fully control it!"

"Didn't you die for the village back then? Now you've chosen to reappear, and this time you can save the whole world! Everything you once cared about!"

With a roar of consciousness in his mind, the consciousness that had been relentlessly devouring Urashiki stopped.

This pause immediately delighted Urashiki.

Even if that bastard Sora Uzumaki is strong, if this brat stops and gets devoured, there's nothing he can do.

"Yes...that's it."

With a calming effect, Urashiki finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You are about to face an incredibly powerful enemy, so powerful that your world has probably been altered countless times from the very beginning."

"You desperately need immense power, and the power of the Otsutsuki surpasses that of all other ninjas. My stance aligns with yours; my existence can help you contend with Him!"

"Come with me... I will lead you to save the world, and then everyone you care about will see you as a hero."

"Because this body is yours, the name of Uchiha En will resound throughout the world in the future, just like Uchiha Kumo!"

"bring it on……"

As it slowly and cautiously approached, Pu Shi's consciousness stopped.

A stream of light appeared here, condensing into the shape of a vortex, and then looked at Urashiki with a smile.

"asshole!!!"

"You...how did you get here? Get out of here!"

Ignoring the hysterical Urashiki, Uzumaki Sora reached out and condensed Uchiha Homura's consciousness.

The next moment, a little guy that looked exactly like this body appeared.

"I……"

Yan looked at his hands, then at Uzumaki Sora: "You..."

Sora said, "In fact, he didn't lie to you about many things. In the more than twenty years since you died, the ninja world has almost been unified, but the gods of the Otsutsuki clan are still watching over this world."

"The power of the wedge in your hand comes from him, so it's natural that you're more comfortable controlling him. Besides... at this stage, his stance should indeed be on the side of humanity."

Uchiha En looked at Urashiki with some confusion, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Then why did you appear? Uzumaki Sora, I know of your existence. It was your alliance with Lord Yun that led to the unification of Konoha."

"I am not as great as you or Lord Yun, but if my life can play even the smallest role... I am willing!"

Kong smiled slightly: "Just like back then?"

Yan nodded: "Yes. Glory belongs to the Uchiha clan, but the Uchiha clan's glory doesn't belong to any individual. Before the memorial monument, I have my own glory—the glory of Uchiha Yan!"

Sora replied, "But there's one thing he didn't tell you. He's from the Otsutsuki clan. If he can stand with humans for his own life, then in the future, to survive, he might also stand with the enemy."

"With this addition and subtraction, what do you think I should choose? At the very least, you won't betray humanity, betray the village, or betray the Uchiha clan, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Urashiki flew into a rage!

"I won't! He's talking nonsense! I stand with you, I will protect humanity! I can swear an oath!"

Uchiha En looked at Urashiki and shook his head slightly: "Although this body looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, the development of the ninja world over the past twenty years and the information brought by Karma have made me aware of more than a hundred things."

"Oaths are the least trustworthy things in the world, especially for those who are already adept at lying. So... don't treat me like a child, you bastard!"

The next moment, bursts of energy once again detached from Urashiki's body, and under the invisible attraction, they converged on Uchiha Hom's consciousness.

"ah!!!"

A scream rang out as Urashiki roared, determined to change Uchiha Homura's heart.

But this time, with Uzumaki Sora by his side, he was not swayed and continued to absorb the energy from Urashiki.

After a long while, the exhausted Urashi stopped his angry rant, and his eyes seemed to regain their clarity.

"So...so, Momoshiki choosing that brat as the scapegoat was also part of your plan, wasn't it?"

"Possessing the power to influence consciousness, Momoshiki's fate was already sealed. Now, Konoha, including this brat, already has three Otsutsuki clans."

"hehe……"

"I don't know the methods by which that being exists, but I can vaguely sense its presence now. Is it possible that everything you've done was within its calculations?"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

As Urashiki grew weaker and weaker, who was panting heavily, Uzumaki Sora waved his hand, stopping the peeling away of his consciousness.

Their eyes then met.

Urashiki slumped down and sat down: "That bastard led me to this world, and he wanted to use me and Kim! His evolution went wrong; he can live forever in the form of consciousness, but he has no physical form."

"This planet is special, so special that it can reproduce almost infinitely. But the power brought by the Chakra Fruit has already prevented me from going any further; I can only influence this world in that state."

"He was unwilling, but he was also trying."

"You are strong, but compared to Him, you are still a level below. That difference in the level of life cannot be bridged by the amount of chakra."

"I will be annihilated, but in our race, after my annihilation, this world will record everything about me; perhaps it will be another beginning. So... I will wait for you!"

Whirlpool Sky replied indifferently, "Are you finished? Then... continue."

Moments later, Urashiki Otsutsuki's consciousness was completely annihilated.

From this moment on, the consciousness of this body will only belong to Uchiha Homura.

……

In reality.

Sora looked at Uchiha Homura, who was sitting opposite him, looking anxious.

With a wave of his hand, tea sets filled the coffee table.

After brewing the tea, he poured it out and said, "Don't be too reserved. Once you inherit the legacy of Otsutsuki Urashiki within you, you will be considered one of the world's top combat forces."

Yan glanced up at the sky stealthily, then looked down again, and then looked up again...

The cycle repeats itself, with words left unsaid.

Kong said helplessly, "Just say what you want to say, or do you want to see him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a spatial portal opened beside him, and Uchiha Kumo appeared directly across the portal.

"Oh? It seems like things are going well."

Yun sized up Uchiha Yan.

If it weren't for the desire to achieve multiple goals at once, Urashiki would not have survived after returning to the past.

At that time, the technology of the research department was not mature. After several infiltrations, it still took more than ten years for this body to fully inherit Urashiki's power.

"Lord Yun... Lord Yun!?"

Yun smiled and ruffled the other's hair: "Didn't you learn a lot about the changes in this world from the Wedge? Spatial channels are very suitable for traveling long distances, and you have the same ability in the power you inherited."

Yan looked at Yun and shook his head slightly: "I just wanted to ask, can I still learn Kakashi-sama's ninjutsu? I spent a lot of money buying him 'Make-Out Paradise' back then!"

Cloud: →_→

Vortex Sky: ⊙_⊙

So for Uchiha Homura at that age, his obsession was with a technique that could complement the Sharingan...

"Alright, you can leave now, nothing else."

Yun reached out and tapped Yan on the forehead: "So can't you be a little more assertive? Let's go, you probably want to go back to Konoha too. Besides... Kakashi would be happy to hand over the Lightning Blade to you."

"Um."

Uchiha En nodded and stepped into the spatial passage next to Yun.

Uzumaki Sora and Kumo exchanged a glance, and both their clones and main bodies smiled.

After Uchiha En obtained the power of the Otsutsuki clan, Black Zetsu, who had been left unattended, became worthless.

Something that can be destroyed easily is too annoying to keep talking to disgusting people.

……

Leaf Village, Memorial Monument.

"How does it feel to look at your own memorial stone?"

Yun looked around as she spoke: "There used to be another guy like you, but I heard he made a fortune and moved away."

Uchiha En hesitated for a moment before saying, "Grandma, she..."

Yun replied, "Thanks to the good welfare benefits Konoha has provided over the years, and the research department has been a great help to the hospital, your grandmother is still alive. However... she is already quite old, and she will probably pass away peacefully in the next couple of years."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha En breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and asked, "If I go back like this... I'm afraid it will frighten Grandma, won't it?"

Yun joked, "Then why aren't you going back? You could just report to the Fifth Hokage. I'll vouch for you and you can get into the Anbu without any problem."

"No."

Uchiha En shook his head slightly: "Ura-shiki is wrong. I'm still alive, and Grandma will be very happy."

Yun: "It's good that you know. It's best to let go of the feeling of being apprehensive about returning home. But... you're probably still wondering why I didn't rescue you sooner, right?"

After he finished speaking, silence fell over the memorial stone.

After a long while, Yan shook his head.

"Lord Yun, you are the light of the Uchiha clan. Even though I was young at that time, I was able to know about the situation within the clan."

"Ura-shiki wasn't entirely wrong. I'm not Hikaru, I'm just an unknown nobody. For me, I'm already very happy to have achieved what I have today."

"Moreover, what you have accomplished, Lord Yun, is something I never even dared to imagine. The changes in the entire world, and the fact that my grandmother is still alive today, are all due to the changes brought about by what you have done, Lord Yun."

"During the Warring States period, the average lifespan was no more than thirty years. After the establishment of the ninja village system, with fathers and mothers going to the battlefield, very few ninjas were able to die of old age."

As he spoke, Uchiha En raised his head and looked at the sunlight shining into the memorial stone.

"When I was a child, I also dreamed of changing the world, but that was just a dream. But now, if it's for everyone to have a peaceful and tranquil life, then I feel honored!"

Are you honored?

The clouds also looked towards that ray of sunlight.

This little rascal has grown up quite a bit!

At that time, all I wanted was to live, and to live well, I had to change the world.

Now... this goal remains unchanged.

Bound by bonds, this world allows me to feel a sense of belonging that I won't allow anyone to destroy! Not even the gods!

……

Hokage Building.

Naruto instructed Sarutobi Mirai to take Uchiha Homura to the Anbu for a report.

After the two left, Naruto asked, "So, Brother Yun, you and Boruto went back in time so that Yan could inherit this power?"

Yun nodded: "I've already told you about the limitations of using the plow. Once a closed loop is formed, it can indeed change some things."

Shikamaru frowned. "There are already three, so does Brother Yun think they're special too? About Otsutsuki Yame's special status?"

Yun: "I don't know either. In Amegakure, Uzumaki Sora's ability to glimpse the future is starting to become unclear."

Shikamaru: "So this also shows that that guy can't sit still anymore. He might start making a move in the near future."

Naruto rubbed his temples: "An existence on another level. We don't even know how they appeared."

That's where the topic ends; without a solution, there's nothing more to discuss.

All we can do is wait.
