Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 196 I, Uehara Naraku, a Naruto collector! (Sixth update! Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader complete!)

I've been traveling for several days in a row.

Uehara Naraku and his group finally arrived at Orochimaru's northern base, which was the largest base Orochimaru had ever created, complete with advanced facilities and equipment.

After Kabuto Yakushi settled Orochimaru's original form, the white snake, he found a bunch of Orochimaru's collectibles and placed them in front of Uehara Naraku.

Kabuto Yakushi pointed to a piece of meat that was moving back and forth and said softly, "This was cultured from the cells of the First Hokage. It can be used directly as material for the Impure World Reincarnation, and can even be used as a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation."

"Hmm..."

Uehara Naraku and Karin both frowned.

How can Uehara Naraku possibly find a way to respond to this?

The cells of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, were practically like cancer cells. As long as there was chakra and nutrients, they would proliferate indefinitely. His cells also had many uses. If people were willing to put their minds to it, they could discover the many uses of Hashirama's cells.

"These are materials for the Second Hokage."

Kabuto Yakushi pointed to a bone and whispered, "Even this little bit is enough to resurrect the Second Hokage using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Naraku Uehara: "..."

I thought he was no longer doing anything decent.

Now that I think about it, he still has a long way to go to catch up with Orochimaru!

Orochimaru actually dug up the Second Hokage's remains, keeping pieces of them to use as materials for the Impure World Reincarnation. Is he even human?!

"I'll try controlling the Second Hokage first!"

Uehara Naraku pointed to the bone, then to the pile of flesh, and whispered, "Help me collect the First Hokage's cells. When I feel I have enough power, I'll have him undergo the Impure World Reincarnation."

"Yes."

Five minutes.

Kabuto Yakushi quickly arranged everything for Uehara Naraku, including a part of the Second Hokage's remains, a living White Zetsu, and even a beautiful coffin.

Uehara Naraku clasped his hands together, quickly forming hand seals, and shouted in a deep voice, "Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

The next moment, the Second Hokage's remains turned to ashes, tightly surrounding the living White Zetsu, turning it into a sacrifice for resurrection!

Uehara Naraku quickly closed his fingers, fearing that the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who was nearing his peak, might suddenly smash the base.

It must be said that Tobirama Senju's chakra was indeed enormous.

Uehara Naraku was even a bit troublesome to control, and could only manage to control him with difficulty.

"Little brat..."

After Tobirama Senju was resurrected, he looked at Naraku Uehara with a grim expression: "So it was you, brat, who resurrected me this time?"

Tobirama Senju still had a slight recollection of Naraku Uehara.

After all, the last time they met, Uehara Naraku was able to blow his head off with a single blow despite his Flying Thunder God speed!

That speed and power are not those of an ordinary ninja!

"You still recognize me?"

Uehara Naraku chuckled and patted the luxurious coffin: "Alright, my purpose in reviving you is different from Orochimaru's. I revived the Second Hokage to deal with Madara Uchiha, who is highly likely to be resurrected!"

"Hmph, Uchiha Madara?"

Tobirama Senju snorted coldly, then looked at Naraku Uehara: "Kid, tell me all the information about Madara Uchiha! I'll go take care of that guy!"

"So confident?"

Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead, looking troubled, and sighed, "Second Hokage, shouldn't you have some self-awareness about your own strength?"

"Don't worry, the power I have been resurrected this time is extremely close to that of my life."

Perhaps due to the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Tobirama Senju possessed a greater sense of confidence: "Although Madara Uchiha's strength far surpasses mine, I have a set of tactics specifically designed to counter Impure World Reincarnation..."

After finishing speaking, Tobirama Senju added, "Besides, that tactic was originally developed to counter Madara Uchiha's Susanoo!"

Naraku Uehara: "..."

Although Tobirama Senju spoke with absolute confidence, Naraku Uehara didn't believe him at all...

Tobirama Senju, despite his impressive words, couldn't even defeat Madara Uchiha, who wasn't equipped with any eyes!

Uehara Naraku was too lazy to continue talking to him, and simply slowly manipulated Senju Tobirama into the coffin to fall asleep.

If, during the future Fourth Shinobi World War, a father-son battle occurs between Naruto Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, causing Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, to unleash his full power, Uehara could arrange for Tobirama Senju to coordinate with Minato Namikaze.

Besides the Second Hokage, there was also the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Kabuto Yakushi pulled out a corpse and said softly, "After Orochimaru collected the remains of the Third Hokage, he was pondering whether or not to perform the Impure World Reincarnation. Perhaps he hadn't yet figured out how to face his former teacher."

"Oh, then I don't have that much of a burden."

Uehara Naraku chuckled softly and slowly said, "I have a reason to keep this Third Hokage under my control, after all, he knows my true identity!"

The next moment, Uehara Naraku suddenly clenched his hands and shouted sharply, "Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

Compared to controlling the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, controlling the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi would be much simpler, even simpler than controlling Minato Namikaze!

"Um?"

After the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, awoke, he slowly opened his eyes, his face radiating an aura of death: "Orochimaru, are you blaspheming the souls of the dead again?"

"Yeah, who else but Orochimaru would do that!"

Uehara Naraku raised his finger, chuckled, and then prepared to manipulate Sarutobi Hiruzen into the coffin.

Who could have imagined that Uehara Naraku's voice would provoke Hiruzen Sarutobi, causing the old man's will to instantly begin to struggle: "It's you, you brat! You brat, you deceived Konoha..."

"Don't be so agitated, just obediently lie down in your coffin!"

After beckoning to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Uehara Naraku chuckled as he closed the coffin lid for the Third Hokage: "Third Hokage! You have no idea how utterly disgraced you are in the ninja world! You hypocritical and treacherous old man!"

This is real.

Because Kabuto Yakushi, under the guise of an orphan and a rogue ANBU ninja, spread rumors that the Third Hokage manipulated the village's Jinchuriki and plotted to harm the Fourth Hokage and his wife for power.

As for whether it's true or false, no one can find out anymore.

After all, the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage were already dead, and later even Obito Uchiha died, and the rogue ninja from the Anbu named Orphan also disappeared.

How do we investigate this?

Of course, there's no way to check!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's once friendly image has completely collapsed, and he has been reduced to a sinister, despicable, and hypocritical man who appears to be a kind old man but is actually the mastermind behind Konoha's downfall.

After all, what everyone hates most is this kind of hypocrite.

"..."

Kabuto Yakushi watched as Uehara Naraku manipulated Hiruzen Sarutobi, secretly thinking to himself, "Why did the Third Hokage's reputation become so bad? Isn't it all because of you?"

Uehara Naraku's main mission at Orochimaru's base has now concluded.

Apart from Hashirama Senju, who was not easily controlled by him, the other three Hokage have all been successfully resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique and become Uehara Naraku's collection!

Uehara Naraku still felt a little regretful.

To be honest, the Hokage that Uehara Naraku most wanted to collect was the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade. If possible, he absolutely had to capture the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, alive…

Uehara Naraku put away the two coffins with satisfaction, then glanced at Yakushi Kabuto: "By the way, with your current power, are you able to control the Second Tsuchikage and the Third Raikage? I'd like to fight them!"

After all, his only remaining advancement tasks are Raikage and Tsuchikage!

If it can be completed here, the three-dimensional attributes such as chakra will be secondary; the most important thing is that the recovery effect will be greatly enhanced.

Furthermore, defeating the Five Kage might be the final advancement mission, and the system's rewards for that would be incredibly generous. I just wonder if defeating a Kage-level character resurrected through Edo Tensei would also count...

"I'm not entirely sure."

Kabuto was silent for a moment, then said softly, "However, I can use talismans to extinguish their intelligence and make them temporarily under my control."

"That's enough."

Uehara Naraku twisted his wrist and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm absolutely confident I can defeat them! After it's over, I'll seal them away for you, and they can just go to sleep in their coffins!"

"Yes, Lord Naraku!"

Yakushi Kabuto respectfully agreed.

Since his superior wasn't trying to take control of the other Kage-level figures, and just wanted a fight, Kabuto Yakushi naturally agreed!

Kabuto Yakushi will do his best to fulfill any request Uehara Naraku makes!

Kabuto Yakushi has gradually discovered how to get along with Naraku Uehara. As long as he can agree to any request from Uehara and complete any task assigned by Uehara, Naraku is very lenient with his subordinates.

Most importantly, Uehara Naraku seems to have some kind of bottom line.

Kabuto Yakushi discovered that all of Uehara Naraku's requests and tasks were within his capabilities, only occasionally requiring a little effort.

Compared to Orochimaru, Uehara Naraku is much more humane.

"Let's begin!"

Uehara Naraku clenched his fingers one by one: "The legendary strongest Raikage who could fight ten thousand men single-handedly, and the legendary Second Tsuchikage who, out of sheer boredom, went to Konoha to ask for an alliance, only to be forced to surrender after asking Madara Uchiha for an alliance... I've truly heard so much about him!"

"Yes, then I'll revive them now!"

Kabuto Yakushi quickly tidied up the area and slowly closed his fingers: "Should we revive both of them directly, or revive only one for Naraku-sama to fight?"

Uehara Naraku hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "Let's start with the simplest one! I need to experiment first..."

"..."

Kabuto and Karin's expressions immediately relaxed.

They had initially thought their boss was too arrogant, but now it seemed he was actually quite rational…
