Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 491 One Year Later

Time flies.

After Black Zetsu had lost its value, Sora Uzumaki made it a part of the world's record as well.

After experiencing a series of events such as the Joint Chunin Exams in Konoha, the Otsutsuki invasion, and the Longevity Technology, the entire ninja world once again began to develop in an orderly manner.

The three people who inherited the power of the Otsutsuki seem to be quite normal.

After Boruto received the power of Karma, Momoshiki's consciousness within his body was destroyed by Uchiha Cloud.

Uchiha En joined the Hokage's direct subordinate Anbu.

Only Kawaki, under the watchful eye of the clouds, is experiencing a shift in his mindset.

The peace and tranquility of Konoha were something he could only dream of in his childhood. But it was precisely because of this that a mysterious force was subtly changing his heart.

……

"Who are you?"

In a scene resembling a starry universe, Kawaki looked at the figure standing in the starry sky ahead.

But the other party did not reply, and continued to look at the starry sky.

After a long time, Kawaki discovered that his gaze could actually see the scenes inside the planet.

When the Otsutsuki descended, they harvested a batch of the most primal nutrients and then spread chakra, just like an old farmer sowing seeds, giving the seeds of chakra, this power, to countless humans.

Humans...

A memory was born in his mind.

Human beings existed from the very beginning as the soil in the nursery of the Otsutsuki clan, the soil most suitable for the growth of seeds.

For a moment, Kawaki was dumbfounded.

How could that be?

Why do I forget? Why do I forget the message that I unintentionally revealed?

Is this the soil in the nursery what those bastards meant by "inferior race"?

and many more!

In his vision, time flew by on a planet not far ahead, and soon, just like in the ninja world, humans with supernatural energy began their conquest.

Catalyzed by war, hand seals began to be discovered, and subsequently, ninjutsu utilizing chakra began to proliferate.

With countless ninjutsu and forbidden techniques emerging, and with such a large population as a planet, geniuses also abound.

Gradually, the larger the war became, the more humans died.

Ultimately... the number of deaths reached a new level, and the number and variety of ninjutsu and forbidden techniques also increased rapidly.

At this very moment, those who once sowed the seeds now want to reap the harvest.

In Kawaki's mind, Isshiki's memories resurfaced once again.

"The Chakra Fruit records everything in this world; becoming a god will allow one to possess all of it."

"The Divine Tree is not just about chakra; the Chakra Fruit represents all the records of this planet from the past to the present."

"Chakra has never belonged to humans!"

The next moment, Kawaki sat up abruptly in the staff dormitory.

His forehead was covered in cold sweat, which even dripped down his cheeks, and he was wide awake.

How could I have forgotten! Such important information—these are all memories left behind by Isshiki, including his understanding of chakra and the secrets of the Otsutsuki clan.

Chakra has never belonged to humans...

From the very beginning, this energy was the seed that Ōtsutsuki bestowed upon humanity, and after the seed blossomed and bore fruit, it was inevitable that the owner of the nursery would come to harvest it.

……

Another month has passed.

Inside the moon's core, Kaguya Otsutsuki, whose thoughts had been dormant, was now "awakened." And without her noticing, her memories had subtly changed.

Were the fragmented manifestations of the will that existed before being sealed annihilated?

The descendants of Indra and Asura seem to have become so powerful that it is astonishing.

However, the time is almost up, and the seal formed by Hagoromo and Hamura using the power of the Six Paths is about to break free.

New abilities are about to emerge, and at that time, I will become a new god.

……

Pure Land World.

Yun, appearing in the form of consciousness, saw the Hagoromo and Otsutsuki brothers again.

"After the failures of Momoshiki and the other two, He began to act. I can sense the slight fluctuations that appear every night, but I can't be sure who He is influencing."

As Yun spoke, she looked at the army of spirits in front of her.

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who was once sealed away by it, and Madara Uchiha were both among them. Both of them possessed an incredibly large amount of chakra.

Behind these two are the spirits of generations of ninjas since the founding of the Ninja Clan, many of whom possess chakra comparable to the two heroes of the ninja world.

After a long silence, Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at Yun and said, "I can sense that the other Him did not initially choose you, and even now, He is still maintaining the original plan."

Yun nodded slightly: "I also maintain His other option: if we fail, at least the world will have another chance."

After the words were spoken, the three consciousnesses fell silent once again.

After a long while, Hamura spoke up: "Under the power of the Six Paths, He didn't have many choices to begin with, and now it seems that only Mother is left... But under the power of the Six Paths, without Infinite Tsukuyomi, it will be difficult for Mother to come out."

Hagoromo: "No. We've only ever speculated about His power. It was only after annihilating the three Otsutsuki that He showed signs of descending... If He doesn't appear, we'll never have a way to deal with him."

As she spoke, Yu Yi looked at Yun and said, "Young descendants, what has the world entrusted to you?"

Yun didn't answer directly, but continued to look at everything in the Pure Land, saying, "No one can guarantee anything. The existence of gods is just a step-by-step evolution to another level. The world wanted to escape the fate of the nursery, which is why the power of the Six Paths appeared, and so did you, or perhaps me, and Boruto..."

"The remains He left behind have already demonstrated many flawless abilities. His clairvoyance can fully acquire intelligence, his charm can break a person's will, and his reflection can render all melee attacks ineffective."

"The world gave me the foundation for resistance, but the reason I made Boruto experience more was precisely to prevent ultimate defeat."

As he finished speaking, Yun looked directly at Hagoromo Otsutsuki: "I have some guesses about the balance of power between the world and Him. Therefore... I need the help of the Pure Land."

Yu Yi remained silent.

The power accumulated in the Pure Land is the result of his preparations over thousands of years.

To gamble? Or to conserve strength for the next opportunity?

After all, both the world and Uchiha Kumo deliberately ensured that the original choices remained on their original trajectory to the greatest extent possible.

"Elder brother."

Hamura's voice suddenly rang out: "The original choice was made for the future, but if we always leave the future behind, if we always choose to wait until later, then we have already violated the original meaning of the Pure Land..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Yi suddenly raised her head.

Yes.

If you fear the destruction of the Pure Land, which would leave you with fewer options for the future, would you really dare to gamble again if you fail this time because of the lack of the Pure Land's power?

Yui looked at Uchiha Un: "I will choose to help you, and the power of the Pure Land will always be at your beck and call. But... I need to know your preparations."

Yun shook her head slightly, then pointed to the dim sky above the Pure Land: "He... is everywhere."

After a long silence, Yu Yi nodded slightly: "I understand."

……

A year passed quickly amidst a peaceful life.

At this time, Konoha had become the political center of the ninja world. Even Amegakure, according to media reports, was forced by Uchiha Kumo to join the Supreme Decision Council member states.

The conflicts and wars between the various small countries also ceased a month ago, with the highest decision-making meeting discussing and formulating solutions to the disputes.

Those who continue the war for their own selfish interests will all be captured by overwhelming force and await judgment.

In the first month of the new year, the Supreme Decision-Making Conference passed the first truly significant law in all member states.

The profession of ninja also became another form of professional soldier.

Subsequently, the direct subordinate units of each member state were disbanded and reorganized, and the military forces were strengthened and consolidated to a certain extent.

But at the same time, another voice emerged from the lower levels of the ninja world.

Chakra is a seed planted by alien invaders. The more ninjas there are, the more power the invaders will eventually reclaim.

All ninjas are no longer human. What humanity needs now is technology, not ninjas. The era of ninjas is over, and ninjas need to be eliminated.

This voice was initially very faint, because there were police forces maintaining order in all the places, big and small, throughout the ninja world.

But as time went on, this perception began to take root in the minds of ordinary people and spread like a virus.

The highest decision-making meeting approved the application for a high-level investigation, but even if the memories of those arrested were searched, they could only see fragments of memories of how they discovered the secret, but could not find the person behind it.

Some of these memories are a stone tablet in the wilderness, some are documents that have been destroyed, and some are inferences about the past history of the entire world.

The memory is complete, but all the evidence has either been destroyed or lost.

The interrogation team ultimately concluded that these individuals' memories and perceptions had been altered.

The top decision-making meeting quickly formulated a response plan, and subsequently, through media publicity, this perception was suppressed.

……

In the Uchiha clan compound, Uchiha Yun looked out the window.

He was in such a hurry...

The ninja world has gone from war to peace and stability in just over a decade, and even the Third Shinobi World War was only a few decades ago.

In such a short time, ordinary people who survived from an era of uncertainty and hunger are still alive.

For them, the alien invaders' plot was utterly irrelevant. All they knew was that the world was getting better, life was becoming more hopeful, and their descendants could grow up safely…

All of this comes from Konoha, from the current highest decision-making meeting. They don't want to consider anything else. What does a conspiracy have to do with ordinary people?

However, this incident also confirmed Yun's suspicions about the formation of the secret scroll and the nature of this world as both positive and negative.

Change rate...

The degree of change in Naruto and Sasuke cannot be called a change, because their fates did not actually reverse 180 degrees. I merely made up for the regrets in their lives.

However, the trading space still indicates the degree of change.

Perhaps this is what the world wants, because the more positive aspects there are, the stronger the world becomes.

The strongest scroll, derived from Naruto and Sasuke, is the manifestation of the world's improvement through the control of its rules.

The spread of conspiracy theories about alien invaders further supports this conjecture.

In the hands of the Otsutsuki clan, chakra is a term for the power of invasion and destruction.

However, after Hagoromo Otsutsuki combined with the natural energy of this world to form the power of the Six Paths, he gained the ability to communicate with ordinary people when he spread it. This was also the original concept behind the founding of the Ninja Sect.

By breaking down barriers, people can better build trust with each other.

These are pieces that the world has laid out on the chessboard.

Then, He made His own move. Black Zetsu bewitched Indra, the hand seals appeared, and Indra turned to the dark side.

The original ideals of the Ninja Sect were shattered, the Warring States period arrived, and the human world was filled with killing, with an average lifespan of no more than thirty years.

At this time, under the consciousness of the world, Hagoromo and Hamura built a pure land in the former Takamagahara and began to store up the power to fight against it during this period.

Later, the ninja village system was established, which was an attempt at world consciousness, and an attempt to use Hashirama Senju as a pawn.

This attempt failed with the death of Hashirama Senju, and the First Shinobi World War broke out, followed by the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars, which may have weakened its control over the rules even further.

Finally... he appeared.

Uchiha Yun frowned deeply.

He guessed many things, but even now, he still doesn't know why he appeared.

A consciousness?

Or was it an unexpected discovery by the world?

In fact, the ability to replicate the trading space is nothing special now. Whether it's the Flying Thunder God Technique or a bloodline, as long as it appears in this world, it will be recorded. This is the explanation of the Chakra Fruit.

What truly matters is the power of the secret scroll.

Clone, Release, Recover, Rasengan, Scatter...

These are all manifestations of the rules, but the two strongest ones were after Naruto and Sasuke got married, a period when the trend of peace in Konoha was about to begin.

"Modifying memories to form cognitive changes, subtly altering a person—an advanced version of Kotoamatsukami. Are you getting impatient?"

Yun muttered to himself, but no sound responded to him.

After saying that, Yun didn't speak again.

After verifying his conjecture, he understood many things. Perhaps there were still people behind him, but it didn't matter anymore.

……

Nighttime, outside a hamburger shop.

Wearing a half-face mask, Ida had just finished get off work and came out to find Amado waiting for her.

"It's you again! I've told you so many times, both Dimon and I hate you, so please stop acting like a father figure, okay?"

Amado didn't seem to care, and simply looked at Dimon and said, "Have you eaten? I'll treat you to some barbecue."
