Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 246 A group of people who love to watch the drama unfold

Itachi Uchiha already knew from Kisame Hoshigaki that someone had started plotting against him and Sasuke after he joined the Akatsuki organization.

Itachi Uchiha never imagined that someone would continue to scheme against him and Sasuke after his death. Some people would even resurrect a dead man with a tragic life to use him. It's a bit inappropriate for them to be human.

"It looks like this battle is almost over."

Uchiha Itachi watched as Sasuke burned off the joints of the water giant summoned by Uehara Naraku with the Great Dragon Fire Technique, directly breaking the seemingly powerful technique.

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded and chuckled, "Uehara Naraku's techniques have always relied heavily on terrain. It seems we'll need to find a suitable battleground to deal with this brat in the future..."

"That's right."

Itachi Uchiha slowly nodded.

Perhaps because they lack a strong bloodline limit, some ninjas try their best to take advantage of the terrain to enhance the power of their ninjutsu.

Ninjas...

In order to fight, one must be willing to use any means necessary.

On Weiming Lake.

In order to defeat Uehara's water giant, Sasuke Uchiha almost exhausted his chakra and could only watch helplessly as Uehara Naraku rushed over and knocked him down with a single punch.

Uehara Naraku glanced at the defeated Sasuke, then at the reward for defeating Sasuke again, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Side Quest: Defeat Uchiha Sasuke [Akatsuki] (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: Passive skill Unyielding Will.

Unyielding Will: Passive skill, increases life energy recovery effect by 100%.

This reward is a bit weird!

And no matter what, he shouldn't be here, right? What was Sasuke like during this period?

He seems to have no flaws, but of course, he also doesn't have any strengths.

No, he does have it; he possesses absolute self-confidence.

So that's why the system rewarded these things?

Uehara Naraku shook his head helplessly, then slapped Uchiha Sasuke's body. A surge of life energy and chakra energy flowed into Sasuke's body, instantly restoring him to his peak strength!

"This healing ability..."

A look of surprise flashed across Uchiha Sasuke's face.

He had received treatment before, but those were just ordinary treatments. He never expected that Uehara Naraku could casually bring him to his peak condition...

This is perfectly normal.

The healing effect brought by Naraku's Star Infusion can directly restore more than 20,000 points of life energy and chakra energy. Except for Nagato, who can't get enough, this is almost overflowing for ordinary ninjas.

With a medical ninja like this, what opponent can't they defeat!

Furthermore, Uehara Naraku possessed summoning beasts like ancient dragons, and his taijutsu skills were also extremely powerful. As Uchiha Sasuke thought about it, he suddenly felt a little insecure...

Damn, who wouldn't want teammates like that?

Why should someone become your teammate?

To be honest, Sasuke Uchiha was genuinely tempted. Such teammates would be incredibly helpful for Sasuke, who was now more focused on personal gain.

Uehara Naraku hadn't expected that Uchiha Sasuke was actually craving him. He simply patted Sasuke on the shoulder like a senior and said, "Alright, take a rest and prepare for your final battle tomorrow! I believe you will definitely defeat Itachi!"

"Um…"

Sasuke Uchiha nodded thoughtfully.

After their battle ended, Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha, who had been secretly watching from a distance, naturally withdrew from the area and returned to Akatsuki's base.

After one night.

Itachi and Sasuke woke up in the early morning. The two brothers tacitly dressed in their respective rooms, packed their ninja tools, and left the Akatsuki base.

Clearly, they planned to leave before the Akatsuki members woke up, to avoid being surrounded by a crowd like yesterday's Hozuki brothers' duel.

Moreover, based on their travel time, if they set off at this time, they wouldn't arrive at the Uchiha's secret base until noon.

Unfortunately.

All the members of the Akatsuki organization got up very early.

Because it's the day of the duel between the Uchiha brothers, Nagato will be stationed at the Akatsuki and Amegakure bases, and he's only sending Pain to oversee the event and watch.

Even Xiao Nan came to watch!

The life-or-death duel between the Uchiha brothers has become a major event for the Akatsuki organization, seemingly far more important than capturing the tailed beasts...

"What's going on?"

Itachi Uchiha frowned, glancing at the line of black robes with auspicious cloud patterns waiting for them at the entrance of the organization's base. His forehead twitched involuntarily: "Is there some kind of mission today?"

These people probably didn't go to watch their brothers duel, did they?

No way? No way? No way?

How could anyone enjoy watching the tragedy of other people's brothers killing each other?

"Nothing special."

Uehara Naraku spread out his fingers, looked around at everyone present, and said softly, "Everyone here voluntarily came to help you, to drive away any ninjas that approach the battle area, so that you won't be disturbed."

"Naraku is right."

Konan stood beside Uehara Naraku, holding an umbrella for her disciple. This woman seemed to be doting on her disciple more and more.

"Yes, that's right."

Deidara stood to the side, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

Anyone who didn't know better would really think this jerk was a helpful person!

Kakuzu crossed his arms and snorted listlessly, "Hmph, I have nothing better to do anyway..."

"yes!"

Hidan nodded, reached out and grasped the strange religious ornament on his chest, slowly closed his eyes, and devoutly said, "I will pray to the evil god for you, wishing that you brothers will perish together."

Hidan is a ruthless person.

There are even such magical prayers.

Sasori glanced at Itachi Uchiha, then at Sasuke Uchiha, and said softly, "If you two are interested, you can sign a voluntary body donation agreement with me beforehand. After one of you is killed, I can help make you into a puppet so that you can achieve immortality."

It's clear that Scorpion is a ruthless person.

Kabuto Yakushi, who had just joined the Akatsuki organization a couple of days ago, was much more normal. He simply pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice, "Lord Orochimaru was still thinking about the Uchiha clan before he died. I've come to pay my respects to our old friend from Konoha in Lord Orochimaru's stead..."

Why is Orochimaru so obsessed with the Uchiha clan...? Who here doesn't know?

Kabuto Yakushi must have lied through his teeth quite a bit in his daily life!

Haku's answer was somewhat tactful. He simply looked at Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi and said, "We sometimes drink chilled juice together. Actually, we feel very sad for every comrade who might pass away."

"I was with Bai."

Kaguya Kimimaro's words are concise and to the point.

A smile appeared on half of White Zetsu's face as he whispered, "No one wants to miss a battle involving the Mangekyou Sharingan, right?"

A sinister glint appeared on half of Black Zetsu's face as he chuckled, "After all, we might encounter a technique of Amaterasu's caliber!"

Hozuki Suigetsu, who had just joined a couple of days ago and had been beaten up yesterday, grinned and looked at Uchiha Sasuke, saying, "Hey, you, Sasuke, I bet you'll win! You have to kill your brother!"

"Uchiha Itachi..."

Hozuki Mangetsu gave Uchiha Itachi a meaningful look and said softly, "Don't disgrace us as older brothers. Kill your own brother without mercy!"

"Tsk..."

Ringo Amuri shook her head and stopped talking.

Kisame Hoshigaki, carrying his Samehada sword, grinned, revealing a mouthful of shark teeth: "If Itachi-sensei is alive, I'll bring him back to take care of him; if Itachi-sensei dies in battle, I'll help you collect his remains!"

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Uchiha Sasuke: "..."

The Uchiha brothers exchanged a glance. In that instant, they suddenly didn't want to fight anymore. They wanted to kill these troublemakers!

The Akatsuki members were indeed very curious.

After Sasuke Uchiha joined the Akatsuki organization, they began to look forward to this day, waiting for Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha to have their duel.

Now, the wait is finally over!

This is absolutely incredible!

It's a bit of a shame about Zabuza Momochi. He waited for so many years in vain, but just before this grand drama was about to end, Zabuza died in the mission to capture the Three-Tails.

"alright."

Pain finally spoke up and said something fair, looking at Itachi and Sasuke: "Itachi, Sasuke, besides helping you drive away any enemies that might get close, we also wanted to send the losers on their way, since we are nominally comrades."

Even nominal companions are still companions!

Uehara Naraku nodded, clasped his hands together, and said softly, "With so many of us, it seems we'll have to summon the Ancient Dragon as our mount. That way, it won't take up too much of your duel time..."

"Yes, yes."

Deidara nodded quickly.

"..."

Itachi and Sasuke exchanged a glance. It seemed they couldn't refuse the group's prying eyes. The two brothers even felt a little sympathy for each other before the life-or-death battle.

An ancient dragon descended from the sky amidst the torrential rain.

All the members of Akatsuki lined up and climbed onto the ancient dragon one by one, sitting in rows on its back without disrupting the formation.

The best spot, of course, is reserved for today's main character.

The brothers Itachi and Sasuke sat among the Akatsuki members, while a group of people watched them from the sidelines, making them feel uneasy.

Uehara Naraku landed beside Konan, tapped the ancient dragon's scales, and chuckled, "Alright, let's go!"

"roar!"

An ancient dragon roared to the sky!

The next moment, the ancient dragon spread its wings and leaped into the air, its wings slowly flapping as it carried more than a dozen Akatsuki members toward the duel location!

I need to brainstorm some ideas at 5:30 PM!
