Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 177 From the moment I first bullied Orochimaru, I had no way out.

Uehara Naraku is really brave.

Who in the entire ninja world would dare to play tricks on Orochimaru like a monkey?

Not only did Uehara Naraku dare to do this, he did it again and again. Orochimaru suffered so many grievances but never turned his back, which was truly because of his high moral character.

It's also possible that their strength was inferior to Uehara's.

Orochimaru might jump out and fight at any moment.

Uehara Naraku was still a little worried that Orochimaru would be driven mad by him. He manipulated Obito Uchiha into the coffin, sighed, and said, "Let's look at the Scroll of Seals first. As for Orochimaru, let's lock him up in the Kamui dimension to calm him down!"

Uehara Naraku looked at the Scroll of Seals and felt a little happy, unable to suppress his smile: "Tsk, the Scroll of Seals! Konan-sensei will definitely love this gift. She'll go back and say she stole it from Orochimaru!"

Side Quest: Obtain the Book of Sealing (1/1). Quest complete. Rewards available for a limited-time exchange.

Limited-time exchange feature: After exchanging any ninjutsu, skill, or summoning contract, the system will rate and recycle the item, rewarding you with corresponding gold coins, life energy, chakra energy, natural energy, and various recovery effects.

Uehara Naraku's eyelids twitched.

What's going on with this system? Last time they released a skill furnace, but Uehara Naraku never used it. Now the system is messing around with this exchange thing again.

Could it be... that the system doesn't have enough memory?

"Then let's exchange for the ninjutsu from the Book of Sealing first!"

Uehara Naraku didn't hesitate either, immediately opening the thick Book of Sealing and beginning to browse through all the ninjutsu contained within.

The Book of Seals seems to cover all the techniques used by Konoha ninjas, except for some absolutely forbidden techniques like the Impure World Reincarnation.

This even includes the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second and Fourth Hokage.

Uehara Naraku didn't care about that much, and he even put the Flying Thunder God Technique into the exchange function to prevent the system from crashing.

He also acquired two skills.

Side Quest: Obtain the Flying Thunder God Technique (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: Skill Flash.

Uehara Naraku added this skill to his exchange list without even looking at it. After all, he has Voidwalk, so why would he need a Flash with an extremely long cooldown?

Side Quest: Obtain Rasengan (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: Star River Surge.

Starry Sky Surge: Creates a chakra star core that rapidly absorbs surrounding natural energy and moves forward. As it absorbs more natural energy, it continuously expands in size and power, and can be detonated at any time. The skill consumes a minimum of 60 chakra points and has a 5-second cooldown.

This is a skill similar to the Rasengan.

However, its power is somewhat different from the Rasengan. In short, it's like a skill that needs to continuously move forward and absorb natural energy to become stronger.

After much deliberation, Uehara Naraku began to slowly select his skills, the first of which was, of course, a survival skill that he needed to keep.

Survival skills: Divine Judgment, Endless Fury, Time Reversal, Golden Body Freeze, Cell Division, My Ultimate Technique! Smoke Screen and Group Invincibility Ultimate Technique! Soul Protection.

Passive skills: Dark Harvest, Overgrowth, Enlightenment, Transcendence, and Composure should all be kept, as these are the foundation of Uehara Naraku.

Wind Release Skills: Hurricane Howl, Wind Barrier.

Fire Release Techniques: Pillar of Flames, Flame Storm.

Earth Release Skill: Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall. He's going to carve a cat on the wall later.

Wood Release Techniques: Entangling Roots, Strangling Vines.

Functional Skills: Summoning Technique, Mayfly Technique (Earth Escape), Soaring Technique (Flying), Innate Illusion (Transformation), The Way of Man (Skill Stealing), Life Form Energy Ray, Void Blade (Sword Technique for Stealing Chakra), Void Sphere (Silence), Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags Technique (Bombardment), Impure World Reincarnation, Shadow Secret Technique: Clone, Purification.

Uehara Naraku was surprised to find that even after eliminating many of his rarely used skills, he was still an all-around ninja, proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, senjutsu, and swordsmanship. He could be considered a true all-rounder.

As for the remaining skills, ninjutsu, and summoning contracts, they were all included in Uehara Naraku's exchange list. Even the Soul Lotus form of Serpent's Embrace, which had been quite charming a few days ago, was also added to the list by Uehara Naraku.

As someone who's cheating, their progress will naturally be faster.

Furthermore, there's really no need to keep some skills and ninjutsu.

The system panel clearly listed all the items that Uehara Naraku had redeemed, and after a moment, it assigned corresponding values ​​to all of them.

Among them, he was given a full six or seven thousand gold coins, which was more than enough for Uehara Naraku to use for changing his clothes.

As for the three-dimensional attributes such as life energy, chakra energy, and natural energy, they have also increased significantly, with almost each one increasing by tens of thousands of points. The recovery effect has also increased exponentially.

Damn, the Book of Seals is a real treasure!

After all, how many skills does Uehara himself have?

The first thing Uehara Naraku did was to buy a Frostheart and then a Frost Fist.

Frostheart: Increases life energy by 800, chakra energy by 400, natural energy by 400, and cooldown reduction by 20%.

Frost Fist: Increases life energy by 600, chakra energy by 750, natural energy by 750, and cooldown reduction by 20%.

With this, his skill cooldown reduction finally reached 100%, and it's estimated that no one will continue to criticize this matter in the future.

A ninja has to work hard step by step to become stronger!

Uehara Naraku's original attributes were already well over 10,000, plus the more than 10,000 points gained from the Dark Harvest after destroying Kusagakure, and the many skills, ninjutsu, and summoning contracts he had painstakingly obtained today.

Name: Uehara Naraku.

Life Energy: 52311 (Normal State)

Chakra Energy: 51980 (Normal State)

Natural Energy: 51980 (Normal State)

Life energy recovery: 32 points/second

Chakra energy recovery: 48 points/second

Natural Energy Recovery: 96 points/second

Skill cooldown reduction: 100%

Remaining Gold Coins: 6430

Uehara Naraku looked at his three-dimensional attributes with satisfaction, wondering how they compared to Nagato's life energy and chakra energy...

After all, the chakra of these bloodline descendants is simply outrageous!

According to Uehara Naraku's speculation, Kakashi Hatake's total chakra should exceed the threshold of Kage-level chakra, definitely above 3000 points. It's just a pity that he can't constantly refine and replenish his chakra, and instead, it keeps being lost due to the Sharingan.

Naruto Uzumaki, who used most of his chakra to suppress the Nine-Tails, had a small portion of his body that was four times the size of Kakashi Hatake's, which directly exceeded the standard Kage level...

Having so much chakra in one's body is one thing, but being able to use that chakra is another.

After all, they still need to learn how to control and guide chakra.

Uehara Naraku is a complete cheat code; he doesn't need to learn how to control chakra.

"A gift for Nagato: Hashirama cells; a gift for Konan: the Book of Sealing; a gift for Kabuto: the Kamui Sharingan..."

Uehara Naraku pondered what he had recently acquired and decided to take advantage of Orochimaru's imprisonment in the Kamui dimension to go directly to Kabuto Yakushi.

The base of Otogakure Village.

Kabuto the Pharmacist is under a lot of pressure.

During the day, Kabuto Yakushi works for Orochimaru at the base in Otogakure. At night, Kabuto would think about Uehara Naraku's instructions and devise a more reasonable way for him to work the next day.

With Orochimaru away from the base recently, Kabuto Yakushi has been studying and thinking about how to guide Orochimaru to break the Reaper Death Seal once Orochimaru returns.

Kabuto Yakushi flipped through a scroll about the Reaper Death Seal, sighing softly, "I hope Lord Naraku's arrangements go smoothly! How could a forbidden technique like the Reaper Death Seal, which involves Shinigami, be so easily broken!"

"Orochimaru will definitely be able to break it."

Uehara Naraku's figure suddenly appeared out of thin air next to Yakushi Kabuto, sat on his table, and chuckled, "As long as we can find a way to guide him to find the Shinigami Mask in the Uzumaki Clan's shrine, we can break the Reaper Death Seal, but the Shinigami will harvest a person's soul."

"Lord Naraku!"

"Alright, alright, let me continue."

Uehara Naraku patted Yakushi Kabuto on the shoulder, gesturing for him to sit down, and continued with a smile: "When the Shinigami reaps the soul of the jutsu that summoned it, Orochimaru can use the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique and the Reanimation Jutsu to directly allow his own soul to escape."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku chuckled and tapped the table with his fingers: "Of course, Orochimaru was at his weakest when he released the Reaper Death Seal. Do you understand what I mean, Kabuto?"

"…clear."

Kabuto's expression wasn't very pleasant.

Isn't this just taking advantage of someone's misfortune again?

Why does Uehara Naraku, who is so strong, always manage to trick Orochimaru?

"alright."

Uehara Naraku, with a look of "I have high hopes for you," patted Yakushi Kabuto's shoulder with a light laugh: "Once Orochimaru breaks the Reaper Death Seal, you should improve your strength! I'll arrange for you to learn the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave and give you Obito Uchiha's Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan. If you have the Mangekyou Sharingan, perhaps you can also try transplanting Hashirama cells..."

"…yes."

Kabuto nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "Didn't Lord Orochimaru go to Konoha with you to retrieve the Rashomon summoning scroll?"

"Um."

Uehara Naraku's face showed a rare hint of embarrassment: "I lied to him again, and now I'm afraid he'll fight me to the death. Let him calm down in the Kamui dimension!"

After finishing his story, Uehara Naraku told Yakushi Kabuto about his actions and asked him to fill in any gaps in his knowledge.

After all, Kabuto Yakushi was the most intelligent among his subordinates.

"..."

Kabuto didn't say anything, but he didn't seem to be feeling well.

So Uehara Naraku knew that this kind of trickery would drive people to their deaths. This new boss is really testing the limits of death every day. He's truly fearless!

"Alright, let's not say any more."

Uehara Naraku waved his hand and said softly, "I'll go and ransack his base first to see if there are any ninjutsu techniques I haven't seen before."

"what?"

Kabuto subconsciously adjusted his glasses: "But if that's the case, will you and Lord Orochimaru still have a chance to reconcile in the future?"

They had just tricked Orochimaru, and then raided Orochimaru's base.

Let alone someone like Orochimaru who is vengeful, even a selfless saint like the Sage of Six Paths would be driven to become his mortal enemy!

"He won't live that long, and besides, I have no way back."

Uehara Naraku sighed, patted Yakushi Kabuto on the shoulder, and looked at him with a helpless expression, saying, "Besides, think about it, when have I ever had a good relationship with Orochimaru?"

When I first joined the Akatsuki organization as an intern, he said I was a human experiment material. Isn't that a sufficient reason to bully him?

People, you need to think things through before you say them.

It's getting late, I'm engrossed in the video. I'll update again this afternoon or at noon!

Anyway, it's going to be at least midnight today!
