Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 138 I'll beat up the summoning beast for you, and it'll obey you from now on!

On the cliff.

Jiraiya and Uehara Naraku sat on it, and a large tree conveniently blocked their view, allowing them to conceal themselves and observe their surroundings.

Jiraiya and Uehara Naraku looked down at the girls in swimsuits playing in the stream below, observing the daily lives of ordinary people in Konoha.

In the stream, one of the girls was laughing and joking when she suddenly rubbed the chest of another girl, and a series of silvery laughs rang out.

"Oh ho ho ho ho~"

Listening to the sounds coming from the stream, Jiraiya's eyes and voice gradually became somewhat distorted. He even took out a pair of binoculars from his ninja tool pouch: "Tear your clothes down a little more, come on, come on, come on... Yohohohoho!"

"..."

Uehara Naraku remained expressionless, like a saint. He slowly turned his head to look at the other side of the cliff, where a huge toad was hopping around, trying to knock something down. The towering trees were easily knocked down by its body!

That toad was none other than Gamabunta from Mount Myōboku.

Ever since Naruto summoned Gamabunta, he refused to get off Gamabunta's back, and the two started arguing, seemingly still sulking.

This is very dangerous!

What if Naruto Uzumaki gets thrown down by Gamabunta...?

Uehara Naraku wasn't worried about that at all; he was simply trying his best to maintain his persona: "Lord Jiraiya, are you really not going to help Naruto?"

"Need not."

Jiraiya held the binoculars without moving, but his smile grew wider and wider: "After Gamabunta and Naruto finish their mess, you can go and treat Naruto. Alright, let's not talk about such unpleasant topics at this time."

After answering Uehara Naraku's question, Jiraiya even pulled out a pair of binoculars from his ninja tool pouch and handed them to Uehara Naraku in a friendly manner: "Look, look! It looks like they're about to take off each other's swimsuits!"

What a mess this is!

Does Jiraiya really think Uehara is a fan of his books?

Uehara Naraku frowned, impatiently took the binoculars from Jiraiya's hand, and looked down to see what was below.

Side Quest: Participate in Jiraiya's research trip (1/1). Quest completed. Reward: Passive skill Overgrowth.

Overgrowth: Increases life energy by 300 points.

Until after sunset.

Jiraiya and Uehara Naraku reluctantly put away their binoculars.

As it grew late, the girls put on their clothes and went home, thus ending their research trip.

"Alright, Naruto's situation should be about ready too, right?"

Jiraiya took a scroll from his person and handed it to Uehara Naraku. He scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Take this scroll to Gamabunta for me, and bring Naruto back from him!"

"it is good."

Uehara Naraku nodded, then glanced in surprise at Jiraiya who had suddenly leaped away, and couldn't help but call out, "Lord Jiraiya, where shall we meet up later?"

"That depends on whether we have the opportunity!"

Jiraiya waved to Uehara Naraku. He had already helped Naruto sign the summoning contract with Mount Myōboku and taught Naruto chakra control and summoning techniques.

Moreover, Jiraiya had not found any trace of Orochimaru during this time, so he decided to temporarily leave Konoha and search for Orochimaru's whereabouts in the surrounding area.

After Jiraiya left.

Uehara Naraku looked down at the large scroll in his hand and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. So this is the summoning contract scroll from Mount Myōboku?

Never mind, this scroll isn't really useful anyway.

Uehara Naraku sighed, flew into the air towards Gamabunta's location, and threw the scroll in his hand at it: "This is what Jiraiya-sama asked me to give to you."

"Oh?"

Gamabunta slowly took the scroll, removed Naruto Uzumaki, who had just fainted on him, and handed it to Uehara Naraku: "Where's Jiraiya?"

"I don't know about that."

Uehara Naraku shook his head, took Naruto Uzumaki's body, and used Star Infusion on Naruto.

Given Naruto's incredibly large physique, a single treatment with Star Infusion would definitely not be enough; it would only be enough to wake him up.

Naruto Uzumaki slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing Naraku Uehara, he boasted excitedly, "Uehara, I just got a super powerful summoning beast! I'll definitely beat you in the Chunin Exams!"

Gamabunta's sheer size gives him overwhelming power!

If Naruto Uzumaki could really summon Gamabunta at any time, he could actually achieve a pretty good result in this Chunin Exam.

However, it's only just good.

Naruto Uzumaki turned his head and saw Gamabunta next to them. He excitedly waved his hands at the huge creature, "Hey, Gamabunta, I won! From now on, you have to come out whenever I summon you!"

"You brat!"

Gamabunta, pipe in hand, exhaled a huge smoke ring and slowly packed up the summoning scroll from Mount Myōboku: "Alright, take this brat back. I wasted a whole day dealing with this little brat; I'll settle the score with Jiraiya sooner or later!"

After saying that, Gamabunta was about to leave.

"etc…"

Uehara Naraku called out to Gamabunta, slowly raised his head, and revealed a kind smile: "Before I leave, I have a question for you."

"Hmm? You're asking me a question?"

Gamabunta slowly lowered his head, looking down at Uehara Naraku, then at the young ninja on the ground, exhaling a huge smoke ring: "Little brat, who do you think you are?"

"..."

Uehara Naraku narrowed his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to provoke Gamabunta for the sake of the mission.

If we don't beat it up this time, who knows when we'll get another chance.

While Jiraiya was away, it wouldn't matter if he beat up Gamabunta, especially since many Konoha ninjas knew that Uehara Naraku was not only skilled in medical ninjutsu but also had strong combat abilities.

I guess only Jiraiya would think he was just a book fan.

Unexpectedly, Gamabunta was so cooperative. Uehara Naraku had barely uttered a single sentence when Gamabunta's volatile temper flared up.

Isn't this just asking for a beating?

Uehara Naraku slowly raised his head and gave Gamabunta a friendly smile: "You'll soon find out who I am!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uehara Naraku's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot!

The next second, Uehara kicked Gamabunta, sending the giant toad flying and smashing through the air, knocking away countless towering trees in its path!

"Uehara, what...what are you doing?"

Naruto Uzumaki stared in shock at what was happening.

After finishing all this, Uehara Naraku turned to the stunned Naruto Uzumaki with a smile and said, "It was looking down on me just now! Did you see that, Naruto? Even if you have this summoning beast, you can't be arrogant and think you've become stronger, understand?"

"But…"

Naruto Uzumaki stared speechlessly at Gamabunta, who was lying on his back in the distance. Was this still the same imposing toad boss from a moment ago?

He thought he had obtained a powerful summoning beast, and from then on his strength skyrocketed, he could easily defeat Sasuke, marry Sakura, and embark on the path to becoming Hokage...

As a result, all his fantasies were shattered by Uehara Naraku's slap.

"Alright, but its strength is not bad either."

Uehara Naraku clenched his wrist, glanced at Gamabunta who had gotten back to his feet, and walked towards him step by step: "Naruto, let me teach your summoning beast a lesson, so it'll obey you from now on, okay?"

"There's no need for that..."

Naruto Uzumaki hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Uehara.

"It's necessary. If you don't believe me, let's ask it."

Uehara Naraku watched as Gamabunta charged towards them and shouted at him, "Hey, you ugly monster, if Naruto needs you to join the battle, will you obey his summons?"

"Hmph, that brat isn't even qualified to be my underling!"

Upon hearing Uehara's words, Gamabunta couldn't help but shout back, reaching for the huge short sword at his waist. He then leaped into the air on his hind legs and pounced on Uehara Naraku!

How could it possibly back down!

As the strongest giant summon beast in Mount Myōboku and the most capable subordinate of the Toad Master, Gamabunta's pride is understandable.

Uehara Naraku casually shoved Naruto Uzumaki aside, looking quite magnanimous: "Naruto, well, there's no other way. Since Jiraiya-sama isn't here, let me help you train your little pet!"

"Who are you calling a little pet!"

Gamabunta slashed his sword down towards Uehara Naraku's location!

Uehara Naraku crossed his arms and raised them in front of him, activating his spiked defensive stance, and a ball of orange mesh defense enveloped his body.

The massive short sword was blocked by the mesh defense the instant it fell!

A tremendous force of recoil entered Gamabunta's body through his palm. The recoil damage from the spiked defense was perfectly capable of using the opponent's force against them.

Half of the power used by Gamabunta will rebound onto its body, especially since it is rising into the air and using the momentum of its fall to increase its power.

For Uehara, Gamabunta was simply courting death!

The next moment, Gamabunta's body flew backward, his entire body trembling from the immense force, revealing countless wounds, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Uehara Naraku flew up above Gamabunta and kicked him down from mid-air, knocking the giant summoning beast to the ground!

When Gamabunta was covered in wounds, Uehara Naraku slowly landed beside him: "Ugly creature, remember your place. You're just a summoning beast. From now on, you'll obey Naruto, right?"

"..."

Gamabunta refused to answer.

At that moment, it thought Uehara Naraku was an idiot.

Who would subdue a summoning beast in this way? Aren't they afraid that their summoning beast will become a bastard like Manda, who might betray its master at any time?

I had some things to do today, so I posted them early at midnight because I was afraid I wouldn't have time in the afternoon!
