Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 187 Obito Uchiha is really useful!

Black Zetsu was very pleased.

Fortunately, it lured Uehara Naraku ahead of time. Compared to Uchiha Obito, who was always disobedient, arrogant, and even defected, Uehara was a good boy.

Moreover, every time White Zetsu reports information about secretly monitoring Uehara Naraku, this little guy is always focused on training his ninjutsu and striving to become stronger.

the most important is.

Black Zetsu has no need to worry about Uehara Naraku setting up his own faction.

After all, this kid has no bloodline limit or any high-level bloodline; he's just an ordinary commoner genius ninja who can be replaced by someone else at any time.

In the future, he will not compete with Madara Uchiha for control of the Ten-Tails.

If Uehara Naraku knew what Black Zetsu was thinking, he would probably lament that his own life script was not as good as Uchiha Obito's!

Uehara Naraku didn't have time to think about that much. What he was thinking about was Black Zetsu's brain circuits. This old guy was worried that Uchiha Obito wanted to collect the tailed beasts first, so he might as well make it a reality. Anyway, Uchiha Obito was already in his hands.

If Obito Uchiha could capture a few tailed beasts and imprison them in the Kamui dimension, Uehara could precisely control the timing of the Ten-Tails' revival.

as predicted.

After Black Zetsu left, Uehara Naraku summoned Uchiha Obito through a summoning ritual. After successfully threatening Uchiha Obito, Uehara suddenly discovered a problem.

Obito is really useful!

Putting everything else aside, they're absolutely first-rate at taking the blame.

Furthermore, Uehara doesn't need to worry about Obito Uchiha being captured or exposed, because with the existence of the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, no one can capture Obito.

Uehara Naraku tapped on Uchiha Obito's coffin lid: "Obito-senpai, do you know the whereabouts of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"have no idea."

Obito Uchiha shook his head and said softly, "It's difficult to track down Jinchuriki, but Black Zetsu has almost figured out their identities."

"Black Zetsu is definitely lying to you."

Uehara Naraku stroked his chin and continued softly, "Black Zetsu just told me that it has already grasped some of the Jinchuriki's whereabouts. This guy hid the Jinchuriki's whereabouts from you in the past, probably because it was worried that you would try to capture them too early."

Uehara Naraku looked at Uchiha Obito, a smile playing on his lips: "Heh, it seems Black Zetsu has never trusted you. That guy's no good!"

"..."

Obito Uchiha didn't want to talk to him.

It's as if Uehara himself is some kind of saint!

In Obito's opinion, Black Zetsu was already cunning enough, but how cunning must Uehara Naraku be to be able to deceive Black Zetsu?

Uehara Naraku, leaning against Obito's coffin lid, asked, "Do you want revenge? Do you want to steal the Four-Tails Jinchuriki from Black Zetsu?"

Is there such an opportunity?

"Of course."

Uehara Naraku slowly nodded and said, "Go and lie low on the border of the Land of Earth. When we make our move tomorrow, I can use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to tell you the location of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki."

Uehara Naraku's hand clenched into a fist, then suddenly slashed down: "Wait until I've beaten the Four-Tails Jinchuriki half to death, then you can use Kamui to appear before me and snatch the Four-Tails!"

"Are you sure Hei won't suspect anything?"

Obito Uchiha was immediately filled with deep doubt, and said coldly, "Only you and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki know the whereabouts of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki. What if it gets leaked..."

Where's your IQ?

Uehara Naraku interrupted Uchiha Obito, frowning. "Wouldn't it have been better if you had just been a little more arrogant back then? And couldn't you have said you found our location by secretly following us?"

"...Alright then."

Obito Uchiha nodded.

Uehara Naraku was a little worried that Uchiha Obito might reveal a weakness, so he gently continued to instruct him: "Remember to wear your patterned mask, so that the Edo Tensei won't give you away..."

"Um."

Obito Uchiha's expression was somewhat displeased.

Do I really need to explain such a trivial matter? No matter what, he was a mastermind who had kept his secret from the ninja world for many years!

Uehara Naraku muttered a lot of instructions to Uchiha Obito before letting him leave using Kamui to go to the border of the Land of Earth to lie low.

This time, he could only use Obito Uchiha first.

Once Orochimaru's Reaper Death Seal was broken, Uehara Naraku planned to kill Orochimaru and immediately support Kabuto Yakushi to take the stage, having Kabuto transplant Hashirama's cells and the Kamui Sharingan to support his actions.

After secretly controlling Obito Uchiha all the way to the border of the Land of Earth, Uehara Naraku felt relieved and took to the air to fly towards Akatsuki's base.

Because today is a plenary meeting.

This is a victorious assembly.

This is a conference to summarize and conclude the proceedings.

This is also a conference marking the next stage of Xiao's work.

Pain, as the nominal leader of Akatsuki, spoke first: "The gains we made from the conflict between Konoha and Iwagakure during this period are enough to cover Akatsuki's future expenses. We can now lie low for the time being. Konan, some unimportant requests can be temporarily declined."

"Yes."

After nodding, Konan said softly, "Anyone who needs funding to cultivate or research ninjutsu can come to me to apply. We will have about two years to focus on our training."

"It doesn't seem like the right time to cultivate yet."

Zetsu shook his head sinisterly and said in a deep voice, "Obito Uchiha, that defector, is very active in the Land of Grass. I'm worried that he might be trying to secretly capture Konoha's Jinchuriki."

I believe we should capture the Jinchūriki outside of the Five Great Nations before Obito Uchiha can react.

"But a tailed beast going berserk would be a huge problem!"

Deidara frowned and said in a low voice, "I've personally witnessed Jinchuriki go berserk, completely devoid of reason. Their strength shouldn't be underestimated..."

If a Jinchuriki goes berserk, it's not that difficult to deal with; the Akatsuki has so many strong members, most of whom can easily solve this problem.

The problem is that this could very well lead to a leak of information.

After all, it's hard to hide a Jinchuriki's rampage. If someone were to infiltrate the vicinity of the Akatsuki's base and use their powerful sensory ninjutsu, they could easily discover the Jinchuriki's whereabouts.

"I will solve this problem."

Pain beckoned with his finger and said in a deep voice, "I will use a sealing technique to temporarily seal the Jinchuriki's chakra."

This is a problem for other people.

For Nagato, who was manipulating Pain from behind the scenes, it wasn't a big problem at all, because the Book of Sealing brought by Uehara Naraku contained some sealing techniques related to their Uzumaki clan.

Karin has recently mastered two Vajra Seals, and Nagato, with his superior talent and strength, learns from her with even less effort.

Tailed beasts and stuff...

The Uzumaki clan is a natural counter to them.

"However, the matter of capturing the Jinchuriki ahead of time must not be revealed."

Pain glanced at everyone present and whispered, "Ideally, we should capture the Jinchuriki secretly, without the other major ninja villages noticing..."

"cut!"

Deidara pouted in dissatisfaction.

Deidara felt that Pain was targeting him.

So what if his procedure is a bit more dramatic?

Wouldn't making a bigger commotion make things more lively?

Besides Deidara, Sasori of the Red Sand, Mangetsu Hozuki, Kakuzu, and Hidan are also unsuitable for capture. Not to mention Zabuza Momochi, Kimimaro Kaguya, and Haku, these three are more like filler members in Akatsuki.

"Then let's go scout ahead."

Black Zetsu turned and scanned the crowd. His gaze paused almost imperceptibly when it landed on Uehara Naraku, before turning back to the others: "If we have the chance, we'll make the capture, so we need a combatant to accompany me."

"Let me go!"

Itachi Uchiha's eyes turned bloodshot as he spoke up, pleading, "The Sharingan's genjutsu is also very effective against tailed beasts, so it shouldn't cause too much of a commotion."

This person's thoughts are the same as Uehara Naraku's.

Since we cannot stop Akatsuki's capture of the Tailed Beasts, we must control the progress within their scope so that we can adapt to changing circumstances.

"Let me go!"

Uehara Naraku glanced at Pain, then at Konan, and said softly, "After all, this is the first time I've attacked a Jinchuriki first. If something goes wrong and we get surrounded, I can still fly away. But it would be more troublesome for Itachi, wouldn't it?"

"It's alright."

Uchiha Itachi slowly turned his head to look at Uehara Naraku, his eyes filled with a heavy, bloodshot light: "If I am surrounded, I can kill everyone who surrounds me."

That's a really powerful statement.

Black Zetsu gave Uchiha Itachi a sinister look and said in a dark voice, "But our main focus this time is reconnaissance. We'll only take action if there's an opportunity, so I need to bring someone who can move easily, preferably someone who can fly."

Only a handful of members of the entire Akatsuki organization can fly.

Deidara definitely can't participate, because he's always so loud and boisterous, and seems unreliable. Konan definitely won't go either; this woman has been staying in Amegakure lately and basically doesn't participate in any missions.

"Then let Uehara go with you!"

Pain nodded to Naraku Uehara and continued, "Anyway, no matter what kind of enemy he encounters, Uehara can easily take him down."

Because Uehara Naraku was able to summon the Six Paths of Pain, and could even infuse the Six Paths of Pain with chakra through his medical ninjutsu.

At least in the ninja world of this era, no matter what enemy Uehara Naraku encountered, Pain was always able to deal with him.

"As for the others."

Pain surveyed the diverse group of people around him and continued softly, "During this time, you should rest or train at Akatsuki's base! Konoha is still investigating Akatsuki's whereabouts, so no one should venture out easily to avoid leaking Akatsuki's information!"

After seeing everyone present nod in agreement, Pain turned to Naraku Uehara and instructed him, "If you encounter danger, don't hesitate..."

It means "Don't hesitate"...

It means that if Uehara encounters danger, he should immediately summon the Six Paths of Pain.

Uehara Naraku nodded strangely.

To put it bluntly, given Uehara's strength, he should be unlikely to encounter any danger.
