Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 251 You said, can the Five Kage Summit be held in the Land of Rain? (Third update delivered!)

Inside Rain Hidden Village.

After returning, Uehara Naraku went straight to the tall tower in the village.

Unsurprisingly, Nagato is still working on his Asura Path; he's really taken to modifying the Asura Path Pain now.

"Are you back?"

Nagato put down his tools, glanced at Uehara Naraku who had entered, and coughed a few times before saying, "Now that the matter between the Uchiha brothers is resolved, let's prepare to capture the Five-Tails, Six-Tails, and Seven-Tails!"

After witnessing Itachi Uchiha's death today, Nagato foresaw his own imminent demise and decided to take this opportunity to accelerate the process of reviving the Gedo Mazo.

"Directly capture all three tailed beasts?"

Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow, glancing at Nagato without hesitation: "Why are you suddenly in such a hurry? This could be dangerous..."

"Don't worry."

Nagato waved his hand and said with a smile, "The Five-Tails is the most difficult. This time, I will be taking Pain and the Six Paths of Pain with me..."

"No, go and capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Uehara Naraku interrupted Nagato and said in a deep voice, "Deidara and I are going to capture the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure. It just so happens that Uchiha Sasuke has also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, just like Uchiha Itachi, so it can definitely come in handy."

"Um?"

Nagato looked up in surprise: "Uchiha Sasuke has also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

"That's right."

Uehara Naraku's expression was somewhat complicated as he explained softly, "Uchiha Itachi was very good at hiding his true intentions. Everything he did was to protect his younger brother. This is what Kisame Hoshigaki told us at Itachi's grave."

Uehara Naraku sighed softly and said, "But it was precisely because of this that Uchiha Sasuke also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, giving us a powerful fighting force."

"just."

Nagato nodded and said, "If it's the Mangekyou Sharingan, it should be of great help. You guys go capture the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Kakuzu and Hidan go capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki from Takigakure, and I'll go capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki."

Nagato coughed a few more times before continuing, "After capturing these, only the strongest Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails will remain..."

"I'll figure something out."

Uehara Naraku frowned, then waved his hand and used Star Infusion twice on Nagato: "You should stay in the village and protect your body!"

"It's okay."

Nagato shook his head, chuckled, patted his hand, and explained, "I also want to see the day when the Gedo Mazo is resurrected."

"..."

Uehara Naraku shook his head and remained silent.

After a brief discussion with Nagato, Uehara Naraku left the tower and walked alone on the streets of Amegakure, ignoring the torrential rain falling on him.

With more and more tailed beasts being captured, there was no longer any time to delay.

Uehara Naraku wiped the sweat from his face, looked up and glanced back at Nagato's tower. He had to get Nagato and Konan out of the Eye of the Moon Project as soon as possible.

Not only must Konan and the others escape, but the two of them must also be separated from the situation. Otherwise, once the Fourth Shinobi World War ends, it will be too late for them to leave.

The Rinnegan must be kept temporarily.

The purpose of these two Rinnegan is to revive Madara Uchiha, and then Kaguya Otsutsuki, before transplanting them to Nagato after the war ends.

Ok?

That's not quite right either.

The burden of the Rinnegan is too great.

Uehara Naraku frowned, pondering how to solve Nagato's problem. Should he wait until he obtained the power of Yang and then create another pair of eyes for him?

"never mind."

Uehara Naraku looked up at the intricate network of pipes in Amegakure and cracked his knuckles. "Anyway, let's get Nagato and Konan out of the game as soon as possible! This is so troublesome, how can we possibly solve this?"

Once Madara Uchiha is resurrected, Naraku Uehara will be unable to fully control the situation, and the Akatsuki organization will not be so easy to control at that time.

So before that, we have to kick Nagato and Konan out of the game.

Uehara Naraku glanced at his main quest progress, raised his eyebrows, and was about to return to his room when an umbrella landed on his head, shielding him from the torrential rain.

"What are you doing standing in the rain here?"

A tender, youthful voice entered Uehara Naraku's ears.

When Uehara Naraku turned around, he saw Hydrangea, Water Lily, and Hibiscus standing behind him.

Compared to the hydrangea's lack of respect, the water lily and hibiscus were clearly more realistic, bowing respectfully and saying, "Lord Uehara."

What are you doing here?

Uehara Naraku glanced at the rare pedestrians on the street and muttered, "Is it your turn to patrol again, you little rascals?"

"No, we just returned from a mission."

With a blank expression, Hydrangea explained, "Uehara Naraku, we need to go report to the angel now. Do you want to come along?"

"I'm not going."

Uehara Naraku shook his head and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly stopped and asked, "Wait, what mission did you go on? If I remember correctly, the village ninjas are forbidden from leaving the village, right?"

"We are envoys going to the border to make contact with Konoha..."

"An envoy from Konoha?"

"Um."

"What brings them here?"

"They sent a new letter."

Hydrangea nodded and replied softly, "We were just about to deliver this letter to His Holiness the Angel."

Why are you talking so much nonsense?

Uehara Naraku's face darkened as he looked at the girl, suppressing his anger: "Couldn't you have just said everything in one go? You only answered what I asked? Where's the letter? Give it to me!"

"I need to go give it to the angel..."

"It's the same if you give it to me!"

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but tap her forehead with his finger, saying with dissatisfaction, "Anyway, if Konoha invites me in the end, I'll still be the one to go!"

"..."

Hydrangea covered her forehead sullenly and slowly took out a scroll and handed it to Uehara Naraku.

There's nothing we can do about it...

The entire Amegakure village knows that Uehara Naraku is actually the hidden leader of Amegakure, and everyone must absolutely obey his orders.

Even angels would never hinder his actions, and he even had to report everything that happened in Amegakure to Uehara Naraku.

"Making you an intelligence ninja would drive me crazy!"

After taking the scroll, Uehara Naraku tapped Hydrangea's head and coldly ordered, "Raise the umbrella higher, I want to see the scroll."

"Hmm..."

The young girl stood on her tiptoes, truly baffled as to why someone like Uehara Naraku would become an angel's disciple!

After Uehara Naraku opened the scroll in his hand and glanced at its contents, his expression became unusually interesting.

Uehara Naraku pondered for a moment, then snatched the umbrella from Hydrangea's hand: "You all go and rest! I'll go deliver the message!"

"..."

The hydrangea, lying in the downpour, stared at the empty space in her hand and then at the spot where Uehara Naraku had disappeared, her little face full of confusion.

What... is going on?

In Xiao Nan's office, there was a glass of goji berry water on the desk.

Konan sat at her desk, carefully reviewing each document. When Uehara Naraku walked in holding an umbrella, a smile couldn't help but appear on her face: "It's raining heavily today. Has Naraku finally learned how to use an umbrella?"

"Well…"

Uehara Naraku shook his head speechlessly, placed the scroll he was holding on Konan's desk, and opened his palm, saying, "Sensei, a letter from Konoha... take a look at what it says!"

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Nan slowly unrolled the scroll, and after looking at the contents, her brows gradually furrowed.

After a while, Konan looked at Uehara Naraku with a puzzled expression: "The Fifth Hokage of Konoha wants to visit Hanzo of the Salamander?"

"...That should be right."

Uehara Naraku closed his palms together.

Konan's expression remained puzzled. She glanced at the scroll again and continued, "And then she wants to hold a Five Kage Summit to jointly defeat Akatsuki, and hold the meeting in the Land of Rain?"

"...That shouldn't be wrong, right?"

Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead.

Why would Tsunade, that woman, come to visit Hanzo?

Has this forgotten the humiliation of being given the title of one of the Three Legendary Sannin by Hanzo many years ago?

Tsunade's letter showed a rather firm stance, which was quite perplexing. How was she supposed to conjure up a Hanzo from somewhere?

Besides, how could Amegakure possibly allow other ninjas to enter?

Isn't that nonsense?

If just one person walks in and manages to find out the names of Uehara Naraku or Hanzo of the Salamander, their worldview will almost certainly be greatly shaken!

Xiao Nan sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Forget it, I'll prepare a strongly worded rejection letter!"

"Hopefully, that woman will change her mind soon!"

Uehara Naraku couldn't stop shaking his head. Had he gone a bit too far these past few years? Had the ninja world deviated to this extent?

To want to hold a Five Kage Summit to defeat the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Rain, the Akatsuki's headquarters, is truly fearless!

As Konan prepared her reply to Tsunade, Uehara Naraku casually asked, "Sensei, have you thought about the future?"

"What about later?"

"What will we be like in the future?"

Uehara Naraku cracked his knuckles and asked softly, "For example, after the Gedo Mazo is resurrected and the ninja world becomes peaceful, is there anything you want to do?"

"..."

Xiao Nan's pen suddenly stopped.

After a moment, Konan picked up her pen again and began to write, murmuring softly, "Then... I'll probably continue to watch you become the leader of Amegakure in this village, watch you succeed us as the ruler of the entire world..."

"Doesn't Konan-sensei want to travel around the ninja world or something?"

Looking at Konan's delicate handwriting, Uehara Naraku couldn't help but remind her, "Take this Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, who delivered the letter to us. I heard she traveled the ninja world for many years and seems to have encountered quite a few interesting things..."

Uehara Naraku was subtly probing Konan's thoughts.

Unfortunately, Konan didn't even look up as she replied, "I remember the Fifth Hokage of Konoha had a nickname: the legendary fat sheep. Do you think traveling is interesting?"

After speaking, Konan suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked calmly at Uehara Naraku: "Naraku, what are you trying to say to me? Do you think that I've been restraining you all this time, and that's making you tired of it?"

"no."

Uehara Naraku immediately denied it, rubbing his temples as he said, "I just discussed it with Nagato-sama for a while, and we think our plan is about to succeed. Perhaps we should think about whether we should do something else in the future..."

Xiao Nan was silent for a moment, then picked up her pen again and said softly, "You can do whatever you want, I'll always be with you."

"..."

Uehara Naraku slowly clenched his fingers.

What if I don't want you around anymore?

Phew, the progress is too fast, I need to breathe a sigh of relief.
