Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 57 The Hyuga Clan

Konoha, the home of the Hyuga clan.

"It seems we all underestimated the Fourth Hokage from the very beginning..."

As Hiashi Hyuga spoke, he looked at the clan crest on the wall. During the Warring States period, this clan crest was once comparable to that of the Senju and Uchiha clans.

And now...

With the decline of the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan has been ostracized by the entire village since the Second Hokage, with only the Hyuga clan remaining steadfast.

This is pride... and also responsibility.

"By winning over the Uchiha clan, who has been ostracized all along, that guy with the nickname Shisui of the Body Flicker, he has accumulated a lot of reputation in the mission team over the past few years."

"And then there's the son of Konoha's White Fang. Because of some things, only the Fourth Hokage could use him. A genius who graduated at five, became a Chunin at six, and a Jonin at twelve—that title was an honor even among his fellow Jonin classmates."

"And that guy, A. There's information that he can actually use the First Hokage's Wood Release ninjutsu."

"After what happened with Danzo the day before yesterday, the Fourth Hokage's direct ANBU will be firmly under his control, and the Third Hokage's direct ANBU will also feel alienated from him."

"The Uchiha's chance... has come."

After Hiashi Hyuga's voice fell, Hizashi Hyuga, who was sitting opposite him, only slightly raised his head after a long while.

Staring into her brother's eyes, there was a struggle in her whites.

"Why is the head of the family telling me all this? The main family has elders who can discuss matters, but I am just a member of a branch family, so my opinions will be of no use."

Hiashi Hyuga sighed upon hearing this: "The elders of the main family... don't even have any brothers they can trust..."

Hyuga Hizashi chuckled softly: "A little over a year left..."

More than a year?

Hiashi didn't finish speaking, but Hiashi knew very well what his younger brother was talking about.

More than a year later, on the third birthday of the main family, which is also the birthday of his daughter Hinata, the cursed seal of the branch family will be imprinted.

And his younger brother's son, Hyuga Neji, is said to have shown great talent in Gentle Fist at the young age of only three.

That's why Hizashi deeply resents not being from the main family, right?

After all, it was destined from birth to exist to protect the main family, and the cursed seal of the Caged Bird also placed its life and death in the hands of the main family.

"Whether it's the destiny of the main family or the branch family, neither of us can defy it. Hizashi, do not forget the mission of the branch family."

Hiashi looked at his younger brother and then said in a low voice, "Two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan have appeared in the Uchiha clan!"

As soon as the words were spoken, even those who hadn't wanted to listen suddenly looked up, staring at Hiashi with a puzzled expression.

"Is it... those kinds of eyes?"

Hiashi Hyuga nodded slightly: "Unlike the Sharingan with three tomoe, each one has different abilities. According to the records of our ancestors, the eyes of the Uchiha clan that surpass the three tomoe all have special abilities."

Hyuga Hizashi paused, as if recalling the description recorded by his predecessor: "A giant formed from blue chakra through form transformation possesses unparalleled defensive and offensive power. A single strike can shatter the heavens and the earth..."

"That's not all..."

Clearly, Hiashi, as the head of the family, knew more than his younger brother.

"The Uchiha's eyes surpass the three-tomoe Sharingan, and their abilities go far beyond that. But what worries me most is Uchiha Yun."

Uchiha Yun?

Hyuga Hizashi asked in confusion, "Why haven't I heard of this name before?"

Hiashi Hyuga pondered, "I hadn't heard of this name before the incident the day before yesterday. But the information I received indicates that there are two geniuses among the Uchiha of this generation."

"One of them is Itachi, who applied to graduate early after only one year of enrollment, became a genin at the age of seven, and awakened the double-tomoe Sharingan at the age of eight."

"And the other one... is Uchiha Yun. But the truth is... according to the intelligence reports, Uchiha Yun has never awakened the Sharingan."

"But the day before yesterday, in my Byakugan... one of the two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was Uchiha Yun."

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the room for a long time.

After a long silence, Hizashi asked, "Was he also nine years old, the same age as Itachi Uchiha?"

Hiashi Hyuga nodded: "The Ninja Academy's records show he's three months shy of nine years old. He's a ninja even more talented than Kakashi. An Uchiha who has awakened that kind of eye can no longer be measured by the standards of a Jonin."

Ninja Academy?

Hiashi paused, then asked, "Still in school?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Risa suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

Konoha has never lacked geniuses during wartime. While geniuses like Kakashi, who graduated at five and went to the battlefield, became Chunin at six and Jonin at twelve, were not numerous, they did exist.

but……

It's unprecedented for someone to possess such power of vision to remain confined to the school and never venture out.

After a long pause, the Japanese man, still puzzled by the cultural differences, put the question aside and asked, "The other kaleidoscope, isn't it Shisui?"

Hiashi nodded: "Compared to Uchiha Kumo, Uchiha Shisui has battlefield experience, and no one knows when he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"The power of the Uchiha has become so great that even Konoha needs to weigh the pros and cons. After this power unfolds, the Fourth Hokage needs to start taking into account the feelings of these two Uchiha members in some of his decisions."

As soon as he finished speaking, Risa nodded slightly.

The elder brother's statement is the best option for the Fourth Hokage at present, or rather, when the Uchiha's two Mangekyou Sharingan appear, Konoha's attitude will have already changed.

Even though the higher-ups still fear the Uchiha, fearing that they might go mad and destroy Konoha like Madara Uchiha.

But when fear goes too far, it becomes a political compromise.

"call……"

After a sigh, Hiashi Hyuga said, "There's something I need your opinion on."

Hyuga Hizashi looked over, and after a moment of thought, Hiashi said, "About two weeks ago... thanks to the Byakugan's ability, Hyuga coincidentally obtained some information."

"The Shimura clan members in the Specialized Prison for Serious Crime Ninjas will help the Uchiha Fighting Faction rescue someone from there."

Serious offender?

Hiashi did not interrupt his brother's statement and continued, "After further investigation, I learned that the Uchiha's martial faction wanted to rescue Uchiha Setsuna, who was once imprisoned by the Second Hokage."

"Neither you nor I are familiar with this person, but according to the clan's records, he holds a very high position within the Uchiha clan. He could even be considered the most senior martial artist besides Madara Uchiha."

After a long while...

Hiashi said, "Has the balance of power between the militant and moderate factions within the Uchiha clan become unbalanced? If that's the case, then Shisui and that Uchiha Kumo are both on the moderate side, right?"

"Is the patriarch asking what we Hyuga should do? Tell Uchiha Shisui or Uchiha Kumo? Or perhaps..."

……

I'm begging you all to continue reading, everyone... *crying*
