Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

The analysis report gave him a headache.

"Let's hurry. By the time most of the research is completed, that's when the Fourth Shinobi World War will begin again."

Orochimaru seemed somewhat excited.

"If those old guys knew you were fighting yourself, their expressions would be priceless, wouldn't they?"

"Even I'm starting to look forward to it... Lord Sora."

……

the next day.

Early in the morning, Class 7 had already gathered at the gates of Konoha, and Yun also registered his departure record with Izumo Kotetsu.

"what……"

Naruto yawned widely, looking quite listless.

Sasuke, who was standing to the side, looked at him and asked, "You've been clamoring to leave the village for high-level missions, so why are you acting like you haven't woken up yet?"

Naruto looked at Hinata: "After you left yesterday, my mom gave me a good scolding, but she kept praising Hinata."

Hinata bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, Naruto-kun. Because I'm Naruto-kun's mother, I... so I dare not lie."

"Haha."

Naruto smiled and reached out to ruffle Hinata's hair: "I'm not blaming Hinata. I'm just happy that you get along well with Mom. After all, you're going to marry into the family someday."

Marry...marry into our family?

Hinata blushed instantly and froze on the spot. If she hadn't developed some immunity over the past few years, she probably would have fainted by now.

Yun, who had just walked over, looked at the three kids and then waved: "Let's go. The mission you've been looking forward to leaving the village will definitely be unforgettable for you."

Sasuke frowned at these words.

A mission that will be unforgettable for a lifetime is probably not that simple.

After the seventh team left the village, a white Zetsu clone floated out from the ground, some distance away.

"I need to inform Obito."

……

Leaf Village, Memorial Monument.

Obito, who appeared out of nowhere, walked to Rin's tombstone, reached out and threw away the flowers that Kakashi had put down, and then placed his own on top of them.

What right does that bastard who killed you have to worship you?

Obito's expression was not good as he placed the chrysanthemums on the stone tablet.

"I want to create a world where you exist, a world without war and hatred, where you will surely be able to live well."

"But now it seems that the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan is impossible to complete."

"Lin... will you blame me for not bringing you back to life in another world?"

As they were talking, a figure emerged from the woods behind the memorial stone.

"White Zetsu, why is he still here?"

Faced with Obito's questioning, the White Zetsu that rose from the ground shrugged and replied, "You told me to keep an eye on Uchiha Kumo's whereabouts, but you didn't tell us to keep an eye on Kakashi."

Uh!

Speechless, Obito didn't turn around, but quietly waited for Kakashi's arrival.

Kakashi gathered up the scattered white chrysanthemums, tied them up, and placed them on Rin's tombstone.

However, the next moment, Obito took the bouquet with a kunai and nailed it to the tree trunk.

"You bastard, what makes you think you're qualified to come and pay your respects to Lin?"

With a deep voice, Kakashi frowned deeply.

This is the first time the two have stood together in their true identities since the Third Shinobi World War at Kannabi Bridge.

“I come here often… even more often since I found out that Obito was still alive.”

Kakashi reached out and brushed away the scattered petals on the stone tablet: "But I haven't seen you in the past few years, and the flowers I placed are still in good condition. No one has thrown them away anymore."

Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan had already surfaced in his eyes: "Heh... What are you trying to say? If it weren't for Uchiha Kumo, do you think Konoha would have had a chance?"

Kakashi shook his head slightly: "No. Whether it's facing Uzumaki Sora of Akatsuki, or you... perhaps Uzumaki Sora will be the ultimate victor, but I will never go to the Allied Shinobi Forces."

"Without the clouds... the difference would be too great. But this world has always had two sides, yin and yang. The reason why such a powerful force as the clouds exists might be precisely to fight against you."

"Obito... Infinite Tsukuyomi is no longer possible. You... will you continue to struggle?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito clenched his hands, his whole body trembling slightly.

It's still the same...

Looking down from such a high position...

Such an indifferent tone, as if everything was under control...

You, Kakashi, clearly broke your promise, so why are you standing right in front of me like this, so entitled?!

It's clearly the world's fault; war, hatred, and strife are everywhere. So why continue to maintain this world in the end?

“Obito… I don’t know what happened to you after that, but you still have a choice, a choice to change.”

"You failed in your plot to kill the Nine-Tails. The murderer of Itachi's father was Black Zetsu. As far as Konoha is concerned, you don't hold much hatred for them..."

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, Obito chuckled softly.

"Hehehe..."

Looking up, two identical Mangekyou Sharingan eyes stared at each other.

"Kakashi, you're still as arrogant as ever!"

"Who do you think you are? The Hokage? Or Uchiha Kumo?"

"A choice? I never thought I made a mistake! The world is wrong! It's this world that's full of killing and hatred!"

"For me... this distorted world without Lin has lost all meaning..."

Kakashi's gaze fell upon the memorial stone: "You said... you knew the cause and effect of Rin's death. The dead cannot be brought back to life, and Rin in the Pure Land would not want you to become like this."

Resurrection?

Obito chuckled mockingly: "The power to resurrect the dead does exist in this world, but I'm not talking about techniques like the Impure World Reincarnation. Kakashi... how much do you really know about this world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples spread through the space behind him.

"I will not give up changing this world. I am not wrong. The problem has always been this distorted world."

After leaving those words, Obito vanished from the spot. With him, the White Zetsu sank into the ground.

"call……"

After sighing, Kakashi looked at Rin's memorial tablet in front of him.

So, was I really too naive?

Lin... if it were you, you wouldn't give up now, would you?

……

Outside Konoha Village, in the opposite direction from where Uchiha Kumo left.

Obito, emerging from the alternate dimension, looked back at Konoha. "After this, it will be a long time before I can see you again."

"Why don't you take your eyes back?"

The white Zetsu, emerging from the ground, was somewhat puzzled: "Madara said that the Mangekyou Sharingan can only unleash its true power when both are gathered together."

Obito glanced at White Zetsu: "Konoha is not Kumogakure or Sunagakure. If we make a move in Konoha, we will only have a fleeting opportunity."

“Uchiha Yun was able to have a shadow clone follow Uchiha Izumi for a long time. When he left the village to carry out a mission, Konoha would inevitably leave behind a shadow clone as well.”

Bai Jue rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

Then he looked up and asked, "Do shadow clones... also need to poop? If they need to poop... won't they burst?"

Obito suppressed his anger and ignored White Zetsu, leaving on his own.

But after leaving the forest, a figure on the path ahead made his pupils instantly turn serious.

Why is this guy blocking the way here?

In the entire ninja world, there are no more than two people who could evoke such emotions in Obito: Uchiha Kumo and Uzumaki Sora.

"Well... I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Obito stopped in his tracks, and the space behind him rippled at that moment: "I don't think we have anything to talk about, and I don't want to die yet."

Only after fully entering the other dimension did Obito finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, the scene that came into view made his body tense instantly.

How... is that possible?!

"How...how did you get in?"

Whirlpool Sora stood up leisurely, looked around, and smiled, "This kind of place is quite nice. We won't be disturbed and we won't have to worry about being overheard. It's a good place to have a conversation."

Obito withdrew, his kaleidoscope appearing in his eye sockets, and his ability to speak was ready to be activated at any moment.

The difference in their levels of life has already pushed their vigilance to the maximum.

"After leaving Konoha, you followed White Zetsu? Or rather, you've been monitoring Konoha's every move, ready to strike at any moment?"

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "Konoha doesn't need me to do that. Many things are already settled. Before the so-called extraterrestrials arrive, all resistance is as meaningless as a mayfly trying to shake a tree."

Obito frowned at the inexplicable words.

Unnecessary, extraterrestrial, meaningless?

Each part is understandable on its own, but what does it mean when put together?

"Don't even think about running away. Once you've been able to freely enter and exit this alternate dimension, and I've discovered you, you'll have no chance of escaping."

Uzumaki Sora's words interrupted Obito's preparations.
