Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 209 This is all Danzo's fault!

Deidara's hand was still broken.

This person lives a life so happy it's almost like they're mentally challenged.

Even with his arm broken, Deidara was still smiling happily. How could this guy have such a good attitude?

In order to defeat Gaara this time, Deidara could only use a small trick, at the cost of an arm, to blast Gaara into a critically injured state.

Uehara Naraku glanced at Gaara behind the clay giant bird, thankfully the guy wasn't dead, before looking at Deidara, that idiot.

The blond youth's left arm had been torn off by Gaara's yellow sand, so now Deidara was happily waving his severed left hand at Uehara with his right hand raised high...

Uehara Naraku's eye twitched. Damn idiot!

Your hand is broken, what are you laughing about?!

Uehara Naraku flew down to Deidara's side, took Deidara's arm, and after a moment of silence, said, "Let me clarify, I have no experience in reattaching severed limbs..."

"..."

Deidara's smile froze on his face.

The next moment, Deidara suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed Uehara Naraku's collar, trembling as he cursed, "Bastard, didn't you say that as long as I didn't die, you could save me?"

"You saved that bastard Hozuki Mangetsu when he was almost dead? Now you're telling me you can't do this kind of minor surgery?!"

Damn it, what the hell is going on!

A medical ninja who can't set limbs!

Is this guy fucking messing with him?

Uehara Naraku pointed to Sasori in the distance, not taking it to heart, and simply explained, "Sori-senpai should be able to, and Kakuzu-senpai should be able to too. They're both quite skilled at these kinds of minor surgeries. I really can't; I have hemophobia..."

"Give me a better excuse!"

Deidara, grumbling, loosened Uehara's collar and looked in surprise at the fierce battle between Sasori and Granny Chiyo in the distance. He murmured, "Is that Sasori's true form? Why does he look so young? Uehara, why aren't you helping him?"

"I can't help."

Uehara Naraku opened his palm and said softly, "Scorpion-senpai turned himself into a human puppet. His grandmother, Chiyo, saw that her grandson could no longer marry and have children to carry on the family line, so this is a family matter..."

Uehara Naraku was talking nonsense with a straight face.

Deidara nodded gravely, actually believing him: "This kind of thing... we really shouldn't get involved... Hey, Sasori, mission accomplished, come back quickly!"

"Shut up, I know!"

Sasori hastily manipulated the Third and Fourth Kazekage to fly above him, creating a black-gold magnetic sand wave that formed a defensive wall.

This defense is exceptionally strong and impenetrable; it cannot be breached by any Sand Ninja ninjutsu or puppet weapon.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sasori leaped onto the ancient dragon's back and immediately began cursing Deidara: "You brat, you've kept me waiting for ages!"

"Scorpion, don't be so old-fashioned!"

Deidara looked at Sasori's young and handsome face, and walked over to Sasori with a grin, taking off his auspicious black robe and draping it over him.

Deidara even curiously reached out and touched Sasori's hair: "You look younger than me! You used to always look so old-fashioned..."

The scorpion's true form is so deceptive!

Even if Deidara wanted to treat him with the same respect he used to have, he still felt a little out of place. After all, he was too young, looking only a teenager!

Sasori of the Red Sand donned his clothes, glared coldly at Deidara, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Let go and get out of my way!"

"Hey, hey, hey, have a little manners!"

Deidara folded his hands, puffed out his cheeks, and said, "You're so young, you'll have to call me Brother Deidara from now on, okay?"

"Shut up!"

"How can you be so rude!"

"Shut up, or I'll kill you!"

"Why are you like this!"

Deidara pouted in dissatisfaction and retorted, "I've called you 'Danna' for so many years, can't you just call me 'Big Brother'?"

"..."

Sasori of the Red Sand suddenly didn't want to argue anymore.

Deidara is a complete idiot and a fool.

If it weren't for the fact that this kid had always been respectful to him and protected him in every way, Sasori of the Red Sand would have really wanted to sew Deidara's mouth shut...

However, Deidara still has more areas that need mending right now.

Sasori glanced at the spot where Deidara's arm was severed and said coldly, "Uehara, let's go. Let's find a place to reattach this brat's arm!"

"Can't you just call me Deidara-nii-san?"

Deidara pouted, sitting cross-legged on the ancient dragon's back, clutching his severed arm with a disgruntled expression. "Does calling me 'Big Brother' make you feel bad?"

"..."

Sasori of the Red Sand remained silent for a while.

The next moment, the chakra threads in his hand suddenly shot out quickly, binding Deidara's mouth tightly, leaving him only able to whimper.

The artistic duo finally stopped causing trouble.

Sasori of the Red Sand turned to Naraku Uehara and Nagato: "Alright, let's go. There might be some pursuers; you can handle them!"

"Okay, I won't let Sunagakure have any pursuers."

Uehara Naraku chuckled and nodded at Sasori of the Red Sand, tapping the ancient dragon's head before ordering with a smile, "Alright, now take us away! Before we leave, you can finally be a little unrestrained!"

"roar!"

The ancient dragon let out a deafening roar!

The next moment, this summoning beast, which could almost be said to be the strongest in the ninja world, rose from the ground and leaped into the air, flapping its wings and soaring above Sunagakure!

Granny Chiyo saw the shadowy figure of the ancient dragon in the sky and pulled on her puppet strings, trying to grab the dragon's limbs.

However, the ancient dragon didn't care at all. With a slight effort, it tore the puppet strings and even turned its head to spew out a huge fireball, forcing Granny Chiyo to fly away to avoid it.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

"Lord Kazekage is on that monster!"

"Bring the Kazekage back!"

"Hurry and chase after them!"

A group of Sand Ninja were shouting and gathering to form ninja squads, heading towards the exit of Sunagakure Village.

However, the ancient dragon did not choose to leave. Instead, it slowly increased its height and, after reaching the highest point in the sky, it raised its head and spat out a huge fireball!

A massive fireball suddenly crashed down from a height of several thousand meters, landing precisely in the center of Sunagakure Village. The earth trembled instantly, followed by a violent explosion!

The powerful shockwave swept through everything in Sunagakure!

In an instant, sturdy houses were destroyed by the blast wave. These buildings, which were strong enough to withstand the wind and sand, could not withstand the shock wave brought by the fireball landing and exploding!

Regardless of their rank, all the ninjas were sent flying backwards!

Even the high defensive walls surrounding Sunagakure collapsed after being hit by the shockwave, and the ninjas stationed there fell in the ruins.

After Uehara Naraku glanced at the Ancient Dragon's annihilation of most of the Sunagakure ninja, he realized that his Dark Harvest had tripled his three-dimensional attributes.

This is so awesome!

Don't be too cool.

Overnight, Uehara Naraku's three-dimensional attributes, which originally only amounted to over 70,000, directly exceeded 200,000 through Dark Harvest.

It has to be said that the blame for Uehara Naraku's many gains in Sunagakure should be shared by Konoha, Sunagakure, and Uehara Naraku himself.

After the Third Shinobi World War, Sunagakure's economy was impoverished, forcing the village to reduce its ninja roster and begin training elite ninjas.

Of course, their elite training didn't produce anything remarkable...

Therefore, Sunagakure's military strength has consistently ranked at the bottom among the five great nations.

When the incident occurred in the Land of Grass, Sunagakure clearly sided with Konoha and regained the mission and funding from the Daimyo's office in the Land of Wind.

In order to maintain its status as one of the Five Great Nations and to deal with the threat posed by Uehara Naraku, a newly emerging genius from Amegakure, Sunagakure began to slowly restore its ninja organization.

The current number of ninjas in Sunagakure is over ten thousand, and through Dark Harvest, it directly provided Uehara Naraku with hundreds of thousands of three-dimensional attributes.

Life Energy: 210921

Chakra Energy: 209790

Natural Energy: 208790

Life energy recovery: 108 points/second

Chakra energy recovery: 108 points/second

Natural Energy Recovery: 216 points/second

Skill cooldown reduction: 100%

Remaining Gold Coins: 6430

Dark Harvest: After defeating each ninja, you will gain a portion of power from the enemy, increasing your Life Energy, Chakra Energy, and Natural Energy by 10 points each time. Currently, you have accumulated 149630 Life Energy, 149630 Chakra Energy, and 149630 Natural Energy.

This is absolutely outrageous!

The gains from defeating one of the five great ninja villages are simply too great.

The village of Kusagakure only had a little over 10,000 people when it was destroyed, but now the village of Sunagakure has over 100,000!

Uehara Naraku touched his heart; it was beating a little fast. There were at least 80,000 ninjas in the ninja world!

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but feel a little grateful to someone.

That person was Shimura Danzo, whom he had killed long ago.

If Uehara Naraku hadn't killed Shimura Danzo early on, he wouldn't have obtained the god-level passive skill, Dark Harvest.

Uehara Naraku is becoming increasingly powerful, and the future of the five great ninja villages is bleak. This is all Shimura Danzo's fault after all...

One more chapter to come...
