Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 62 The Power of Kotoamatsukami

"You may all leave."

Seeing the two juniors push the door open and enter, the Seventh Hokage of Uchiha waved his hand to dismiss Tetsuka and the Eighth Hokage.

The two of them kept their eyes fixed on Shisui and Yun, showing no intention of leaving.

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha said in a deep voice, "Even if you have the Mangekyou Sharingan, what use are you here? Get out!"

Under the angry rebuke, the two reluctantly retreated.

As the Eighth Hokage brushed past Kumo, he warned, "My father is not Setsuna. If he makes a move, the entire Uchiha clan will not tolerate you."

After saying that, the two left.

Yun smiled and said that what that guy said was actually true.

Beneath the lush foliage, the Uchiha's militant and moderate factions were not clearly distinct. This was precisely why he hadn't directly taken action.

……

"As descendants of the Uchiha clan, you killed Lord Setsuna. It seems you two have no concept of clan anymore?"

Yun, who had found a place to sit down, smiled and said, "That guy who was imprisoned by the Second Hokage should have been dealt with by the Fourth Hokage's direct ANBU by now."

"As for the clan, it is precisely because Shisui and I have always hoped to make the Uchiha great again that we came to stop you arrogant fools."

If it weren't for the fact that the two people opposite him possessed Mangekyou Sharingan abilities, such humiliation would have already provoked the Seventh Hokage to attack.

Demonstrate your strength first, then talk – that's the benefit of demonstrating your strength.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, the aged Seventh Hokage of the Uchiha clan said, "Does the Fourth Hokage know about Uchiha Kumo's Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Shisui replied, "I already know."

"idiot!"

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha cursed, then looked at the two and said, "The Uchiha, with their Mangekyou Sharingan, may have been rewarded for supporting the Fourth Hokage. But now..."

"As Uchiha who possess two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, you should be aware of the power contained within those eyes. As for the relationship between the Third and Fourth Hokage, that is a problem inherent to the Hokage lineage itself."

"The Uchiha...ever since the battle at the Valley of the End, the Hokage's lineage, having lost the Wood Release of the Senju, has always harbored the greatest fear of the Uchiha!"

As he spoke, the Seventh Hokage of Uchiha stood up and looked at Yun: "Lord Setsuna is already dead, and with the two of you in the hands of the moderates, I truly have no way to deal with it. But now that the Fourth Hokage knows about your Mangekyou Sharingan, the Hokage lineage will not allow the Uchiha to possess such powerful strength."

"Therefore... I will never watch the Uchiha clan fall into the abyss!"

The Seventh Hokage's words were indeed true. After the death of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, in order to prevent the Nine-Tails and the Sharingan, Konoha under the leadership of the Second Hokage conducted experiments on the power of Hashirama's cells. Although it was voluntary, many people died.

Although the experiment was eventually banned due to the excessive sacrifices involved, it still demonstrates the extent of the entire Naruto lineage's fear of the Sharingan.

Yun knew that the Seventh Hokage Uchiha's concerns were not wrong, but like someone with God's perspective, he would never know his own calculations.

They would never know the extent of their power.

"Konoha has never been just about the Hokage lineage and the Uchiha clan. And you've underestimated the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze."

Seeing Yun's dismissive attitude, the Seventh Hokage of Uchiha scoffed.

"Ino-Shika-Cho? Hyuga? Inuzuka? Or Aburame and Kurama, who is already declining? For so many years, the Uchiha and the other clans of Konoha have not been friendly."

"No one will stand on the Uchiha's side except ourselves. We've had enough of being slowly tortured! The Uchiha... are not trash they can manipulate!"

Yun shook his head: "The Hyuga clan will soon become our asset, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio will gradually break away from the Sarutobi clan. These things will take time."

"And you underestimate the Fourth Hokage. Or to put it another way... if it were just Susanoo, the Fourth Hokage wouldn't be afraid."

Nine-Tails Chakra Mode...

The Fourth Hokage's proficiency in the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, as recalled by his Edo Tensei.

Clearly, Kushina was capable of doing that.

Combined with the extreme speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique, even the Mangekyou Sharingan might not be able to keep up.

"Actually, there's no point in saying more. There are many things you can't understand about us. But we've already taken into account what you're saying."

Yun stood up, looked at the old man in front of him, and smiled: "Since it's all for the Uchiha, perhaps in the future, even your own will will find great comfort in your old age?"

"Still water".

As the final sound faded, Uchiha Shisui slightly raised his head, and the three tomoe in his eye sockets instantly transformed into a mangekyou Sharingan.

"Buzz..."

"Whether we make eye contact or not makes no difference; even I am terrified by Kotoamatsukami's power."

"hiss……"

The kaleidoscope faded, and blood was seen continuously dripping from Shisui's right eye, while the pupil in his eye socket gradually turned white.

"call……"

Shisui took a deep breath and slumped down, saying with a wry smile, "The power of this eye is basically gone, even the time it takes to activate Susanoo has been reduced by half."

Yun was taken aback: "Does it consume that much energy? What about your eyesight?"

Shisui smiled and replied, "My right eye is already blurry; only my left eye can still see some things fairly clearly. But unless absolutely necessary, I will not activate the Kaleidoscope again."

Yun nodded: "With your three-tomoe genjutsu combined with the Body Flicker Technique, you've already surpassed most Jonin. You should use the Mangekyou Sharingan's power less often."

……

As the two were talking, the Seventh Hokage Uchiha, who had been silently implanted with Kotoamatsukami, also came to his senses.

"Should we appoint Shisui as the clan leader at tomorrow's clan meeting?"

???

Faced with this sudden remark, Yun paused in surprise before replying, "There's still a little over a day until tomorrow's clan meeting. I hope you can use this time to persuade those who are still undecided."

"With a large number of people in favor, coupled with the loss of a leader, it will take some time to win over some groups and then fight others."

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha nodded and replied, "I understand. However, as the hope of the Uchiha clan, Yun, you must grow up quickly. Shisui and I will do everything in our power to help you."

???

Yun was filled with questions and turned to look at Zhishui: What kind of seed did you plant in him?

and many more?

Suddenly, another idea arose spontaneously.

Although the Seventh Hokage of the Uchiha clan was a fighter, he always believed in himself and that he could lead the Uchiha to greatness again.

Although he had always believed that the Hokage lineage was untrustworthy, he trusted himself and stood on his own side because of his own reasons.

???

What is this?!

Is it Kotoamatsukami?

……

They left the Uchiha clan's territory.

At Yun's prompting, the two appeared in the back mountain.

"What was that just now? Was it the power of Kotoamatsukami?"

Shisui beside him nodded slightly: "Yes. It's terrifying, isn't it? Now you still think that losing my eye only twice is a fair price to pay?"

!!!

Suitable?

This is hardly appropriate.

Although it nearly blinded him after only two uses, this ability is essentially a mind-altering ability, and it's not even an individual ability!

And since I possess a celestial body, blindness is obviously impossible. So what if the buffer time is longer? This is practically a bug-like ability!

It's even more overpowered than the Kotoamatsukami I originally thought it was!

"Still water".

"Um?"

"After the clan meeting tomorrow, you'll be the clan leader. As the Uchiha clan leader, you basically won't be going out on missions anymore. So... if you have time, let's spar a bit."

"Alright. Actually... I don't want to be the clan leader, but at this stage it seems like I'm the most suitable one."

"Don't even think about passing the buck to me, and Itachi won't do either, he's not suitable."

Shisui asked in confusion, "You've always seemed to have a problem with Itachi, but he didn't make any mistakes, whether it was Danzo's side or the two tests within the clan."

Yun shook her head slightly: "Itachi is different from us. You have experienced the trials of war and your own growth. That guy graduated from the Ninja Academy in just one year, but he thinks about lofty issues every day."

"In short, he didn't read enough books, so he's easily fooled."

Shisui nodded beside him, then suddenly asked, "And what about you, Yun? How come you can see so many things? And how come you suddenly went from having ordinary eyes to Mangekyou Sharingan? You couldn't possibly have experienced this kind of stimulation while you were still in the Ninja Academy."

Yun smiled and answered irrelevantly, "Maturity comes from seeing further. As for the Sharingan... perhaps the Sharingan has more than just that one way of awakening?"

……

After a moment, Shisui didn't ask the question again, but said, "Just like I said two years ago, everyone has their own secrets, and so do I. As long as you know that you did it for the Uchiha and for the village, that's enough."

Is it for the Uchiha clan? Or for the village?

Shisui's words were denied by Yun in his heart; he was merely enamored with the prosperity of Konoha.

In this world without cell phones or computer games, even though I possess the power of chakra, I am unwilling to live a life of hardship and deprivation.

They only have to bear the influence that comes with the Uchiha surname.

In order to survive in Konoha, the Uchiha clan must reintegrate into the village.

In order to continue living peacefully in Konoha, this village must be safe.

Is that right?

……

Under the cover of night, Shisui, now all alone, sat on the water tank, looking around at the Uchiha clan's territory.

Is there another way to open one's eyes?

How could that be?

If this method exists, why not use it on my sister Izumi?

Just as I thought when we first met, someone with such insightful views will have an incredible impact in the future.

just now……

In just two years, the village has changed, and so has the family.

Everyone has their own secrets, and no matter what, there is a power that can be believed.

……

Uchiha Un's bedroom.

"call……"

After letting out a breath, Yun lay down on the bed.

Kotoamatsukami!

That's truly a terrifying ability...

With a ten-year buffer period, the right eye of Zhishui was on the verge of blindness after two separate incidents.

Only this kind of price can be worthy of this ability.

There are still eleven months left. If he obtains this ability, it's uncertain whether he will be able to control the entire first tier before Naruto graduates at the age of twelve.

……

Hokage Building.

"Teacher, you're back?"

Jiraiya, who climbed in through the window, asked with a serious expression, "Did that Uzumaki Ku kill Danzo?"

Minato nodded and replied, "Yes. The last incident at the orphanage didn't succeed, but this time Uzumaki Sora seems to have mastered Wood Release, and..."

"Under that chilling chakra, although it wasn't clearly visible, he must have also obtained the power of the Uchiha clan."

Sharingan?

After a long silence...

Jiraiya thought for a moment and said, "I met him when I went to the Land of Rain. Being able to control Wood Release like that, he has indeed mastered the power of Wood Release, although he probably hasn't reached the level of the First Hokage."

Minato nodded: "The power of the First Hokage... If it weren't for the records, I really couldn't imagine that a ninja's power could reach that level."

Is it really possible to pin the Nine-Tails to the ground and beat it up with one hand?

Such a vast and chilling chakra, capable of causing the heavens and earth to shatter with a single strike, could be easily controlled and suppressed by those two.

If Sora Uzumaki could reach the level of the first generation...

Jiraiya then spoke up, "Don't worry, Tsunade once heard Mito-sama talk about some things. The First Hokage's situation was a bit special."

"The Wood Release bloodline, which is simply a transformation of water and earth chakra, cannot reach the level of the First Hokage. The fact that it can suppress the Nine-Tails with just wood is also special."

Hearing this, Minato breathed a sigh of relief. After Danzo's death and that invitation, he had become somewhat wary of Uzumaki Sora.

This is inevitable for someone in a position of power.

"Teacher, you've come back this time..."

Jiraiya sighed and looked at Minato: "You are now the Fourth Hokage, and there are some things I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

"Although many things do reflect the influence of the three generations, in reality, he is just a soft-hearted old man who can't let go."

"He couldn't bring himself to deal with anyone, and he kept delaying things he did for Danzo. But as his disciple, I know very well that he's just getting old."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato nodded and replied, "Danzo is dead. It wasn't Konoha that did it. This is the best outcome."

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving this answer.

Then he mentioned another piece of information he had obtained on this trip: "Regarding the three disciples I took in in the Land of Rain many years ago, one of whom I originally thought was a boy chosen by destiny, I learned on this trip to the Land of Rain that all three of them are dead."

"You should remember that I once said that the boy possessed the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths from the legend: the Rinnegan."

"And one more thing, that person named Uzumaki Sora bears a striking resemblance to a boy named Yahiko, one of the disciples I took on back then!"

Nine-tenths similar?

Rinnegan?

The eyes of the Sage of Six Paths?

"But Sora Uzumaki's eyes are not the Rinnegan."

Jiraiya nodded: "That's true, but we also know nothing about the abilities of the Rinnegan."
