Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 206 Let them see the terror of Akatsuki! (Fourth update! Thank you for the generous donation from Master Qianji!)

Outside the Akatsuki's base.

After Deidara and Hidan, those two foul-mouthed guys, had a fight, the members of both teams headed to their respective destinations.

Deidara, still somewhat indignant, glared at the second team members who were walking on foot, and grinned sneer, "Hmph, a bunch of useless trash. By the time they reach the Land of Lightning, we'll have already captured the One-Tailed Beast!"

After saying that, he tossed aside an ugly clay doll, clapped his hands, and chuckled, "Yo ho! C2 Dragon! Hey, take a look at my masterpiece, let's fly straight to Sunagakure!"

"..."

The three of them glanced at the ugly clay dragon with mixed feelings.

After a moment of silence, Uehara Naraku spoke softly, "I also found a summoning contract in Orochimaru's base a couple of years ago. Let me handle it!"

Sasori of the Red Sand and Nagato both cast expectant glances their way.

Only Deidara became agitated, waving his fists: "Hey, Uehara, are you looking down on my art? This is a masterpiece I spent a long time creating..."

Uehara Naraku ignored Deidara and simply closed his palms, instantly deducting 10,000 points of natural energy and chakra energy!

Uehara Naraku formed a set of summoning hand seals with a serious expression: "Summoning Jutsu!"

A giant summoning incantation appeared beneath Uehara Naraku's palm!

Just as Sasori and Nagato were eagerly hoping that Uehara Naraku would summon some powerful summoning beast, nothing appeared on the incantation...

"Hahahahaha!"

Deidara slapped his thigh and burst into wild laughter: "What the hell! Judging from such a powerful name, I thought he was some kind of amazing guy..."

Suddenly a huge shadow covered them.

Deidara's smile froze for a moment as he slowly raised his head to look at the enormous, terrifying-looking dragon that had suddenly appeared in the sky!

This ancient dragon had four limbs like a wild beast, but its wings gave it the ability to fly.

In terms of sheer size, the Ancient Dragon was even larger than the Outer Path Golem.

What's even more terrifying is the sheer amount of chakra it possesses...

In everyone's perception, the ancient dragon's aura was so overwhelming that no one dared to have any intention of provoking it. This was the first time they had ever seen a summoning beast with such abundant chakra.

On the head of the ancient dragon grew a pair of ferocious horns, and its mouth glowed with a deep blue light, as if it were about to spew out a blue flame at any moment…

If this ancient dragon could actually be used in battle, it probably wouldn't be able to defeat any summoning beast in the ninja world.

Sasori of the Red Sand slowly turned his head to look at Uehara Naraku, and said slowly, "Uehara, is that your summoning beast?"

To be honest, at this moment, Sasori of the Red Sand really had the urge to turn Uehara Naraku's summoning beast into his own puppet!

Unfortunately, this makes it easy to fall out.

Sasori of the Red Sand owes Uehara Naraku a favor!

"It must be my summoned beast, right?"

Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow, looked at the ancient dragon soaring above, and waved his hand at it.

The ancient dragon seemed to notice Uehara's movements, gliding through the air for a moment before abruptly stopping in front of Uehara Naraku!

The moment the ancient dragon descended, the high-speed movement created a gust of wind that whipped at everyone's bodies, forcing them to use their chakra to grip the soles of their feet in order to stay upright.

"roar!"

The ancient dragon stood on all fours and roared angrily at the sky!

The enormous sound wave almost instantly overturned the surrounding trees!

Then, its thick, powerful-looking tail swayed, and with a powerful strike, it shattered Deidara's clay dragon into pieces!

Finished!

Naraku Uehara: "..."

Sasori of the Red Sand: "..."

Nagato: "..."

The three of them felt a jolt in their hearts at the same time. After seeing the clay dragon being smashed by a tail, they subconsciously turned to look at Deidara, the owner of the clay dragon.

Based on their understanding of Deidara, if anyone dared to destroy his artwork, this little blondie would probably go crazy!

Especially Sasori of the Red Sand, he knew how much Deidara valued his clay dragon. It was handcrafted by Deidara, who would repair and replenish it from time to time. It could be said that it was one of Deidara's favorite works of art.

Now, this handcrafted clay dragon has been smashed to pieces by the tail of an ancient dragon... You can imagine Deidara's feelings.

Sasori, seeing his companion's blank expression, spoke in a deep voice, "Deidara, the mission is the priority. Everything will be alright..."

Deidara, enraged, laughed maniacally, a terrifying grin spreading across his face before erupting into a maniacal, hysterical laugh: "Hehehehehehehehehehe... You bastard, how dare you ruin my art?!"

Deidara charged madly toward the ancient dragon in front of him, pounced on its toes, and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks!

This is practically tickling an ancient dragon.

After the farce, everyone still jumped onto the ancient dragon. Deidara, as if giving them a great deal of face, closed his eyes, put his hands in his sleeves, and climbed onto the ancient dragon's legs.

Deidara sat atop the ancient dragon, pouting nonchalantly, "Hmph, Uehara, that doesn't mean I forgive you! Destroying my artwork is unforgivable! I'm just trying to finish our mission faster than that bastard Hidan!"

"Alright..."

Uehara Naraku turned to look at Sasori and Nagato, then tapped the ancient dragon on the head: "Let's go!"

"roar!"

After the ancient dragon roared, it leaped directly into the air!

Just as its massive body was falling, a pair of enormous wings spread out and slowly began to flap, carrying it into the air!

This is still a bounce takeoff!

Fortunately, everyone present was a ninja, and they were able to use their chakra to attach to the ancient dragon, thus preventing them from being thrown off by it.

After successfully taking off, the ancient dragon began to soar, its body swiftly sweeping over mountains and rivers, flying towards the direction of Sunagakure Village.

Deidara stood atop the head of an ancient dragon, arms outstretched, laughing wildly into the wind: "Hahahaha... Sooner or later I'll create an art piece just as grand!"

"..."

Uehara Naraku, Sasori Akasuna, and Nagato exchanged glances, too lazy to pay attention to the blond lunatic standing on top of the giant dragon's head!

Sasori of the Red Sand remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Uehara, where do these summoning beasts live? I want to catch one to use as a puppet..."

Who wouldn't want such a cool summoning beast?

Sasori of the Red Sand really wanted to make a giant puppet like that, so he wouldn't have to ride Deidara's clay bird every time.

"Cough cough cough..."

Nagato coughed violently a few times, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, I can modify it to make it stronger."

The spirit beasts in the Animal Path were all modified by Nagato himself.

Nagato also has a unique interest in biotechnology.

Uehara Naraku glanced at them, shook his head speechlessly, and said, "That's it. I probably don't know where I put the summoning contract I found in Orochimaru's base. After all, I don't usually use summoning beasts in battle."

Anyway, Orochimaru was already half-dead long ago.

It doesn't matter if all the blame is placed on him.

Hearing Uehara Naraku's words, Sasori and Nagato shook their heads regretfully.

Although the ancient dragon has never experienced battle, it can unleash tremendous power even in melee combat, not to mention its high speed when flying.

They set off from the Akatsuki base at dawn.

By evening, they had reached an altitude of 10,000 meters outside Sunagakure.

Sasori of the Red Sand looked down at the distant Sand Village and said in a deep voice, "I remember we have a few spies planted in the Sand Village. They shouldn't be of low rank. I'll summon them now and have them lead us in directly!"

Sasori of the Red Sand planted two spies in Sunagakure, one of whom was Yura and the other was Maki. Both of them were Jonin, and Maki even rose to a high-ranking position.

However, after operating for a while, Sasori of the Red Sand suddenly spoke up awkwardly, "Hmm? The Mind-Controlling Sand Technique has been removed? As expected, how could Granny not have noticed the Mind-Controlling Sand Technique after she took power..."

"..."

Uehara Naraku stood to the side, speechless, gazing at the sky.

If I remember correctly, he betrayed a Sasori spy by using the identity of Shimura Danzo to make a deal with Ebizo.

Chiyo and Ebizo clearly took this very seriously, and they must have tested all the Jonin in the village and helped Maki and Yura break free from the control of the Mind Control Sand.

Deidara immediately suggested, "Why don't we just fly in? Anyway, Sunagakure doesn't have any powerful ninjas..."

Sasori of the Red Sand shook his head and said, "The outer defenses are all equipped with crossbows. If there's anything in the air, it will alert the village..."

"Uh, whatever!"

Uehara Naraku shrugged and looked at the ancient dragon beneath him, saying, "It should be completely immune to those little things. Why don't we just storm in, defeat Sunagakure, and capture that little guy Gaara?"

"good."

Nagato nodded in agreement.

Uehara Naraku and Nagato are both very powerful, even capable of defeating Sunagakure single-handedly, so they naturally don't want to waste time here.

What's more, they also have powerful summoned beasts like the ancient dragon!

Nagato didn't ask for further opinions, but simply looked at Uehara Naraku and said softly, "Uehara, let's act now!"

"good!"

Uehara Naraku gazed at the tiny Sand Village on the distant ground, patted the ancient dragon's body, and ordered in a deep voice, "Let's go. Let me see your power. Go show those guys the terror of Akatsuki!"

"roar!"

The ancient dragon roared to the sky!

The next moment, the giant dragon flapped its wings and flew towards Sunagakure, crossing the outer defense line of Sunagakure and casting a shadow that blotted out the sky within the village!
