Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 256 Kabuto, come help Lord Tsuchikage loosen up his muscles.

Inside Iwagakure Village.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, sat at his desk, a worried look on his face, looking up at a group of Iwa ninja standing in front of him.

"Has Old Purple still not been found?"

Not yet.

The captain of the Iwagakure ANBU shook his head, his voice hesitant: "Recently, the Konoha ANBU have been frequently crossing the border and operating within the Land of Earth. In order to drive out these enemies, we are currently short-handed."

Upon hearing the information about Konoha, Onoki's brow furrowed even more: "Have you found out the purpose of the Konoha ninja's infiltration of the Land of Earth?"

"Well…"

The ANBU captain was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "According to information we obtained from spies in the Land of Fire, Konoha seems to be investigating Akatsuki's whereabouts."

"..."

Onoki fell into deep thought.

After a while, Onoki slowly raised his head and looked at the ANBU captain, saying, "Can we still contact the Akatsuki members?"

Recently, the Akatsuki members have become much more active than before, destroying Sunagakure and Kirigakure in succession, which has also given Onoki some other ideas.

On one hand, Onoki was worried that the Akatsuki organization might invade Iwagakure, causing incalculable damage to the village.

On the other hand, Onoki also hoped that the Akatsuki organization could continue to invade other major countries, and preferably destroy all the other four major ninja villages.

Unfortunately, they haven't cooperated with the Akatsuki organization for a long time.

The captain of the Iwagakure ANBU hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, it seems that our previous contact point with Akatsuki has been abandoned."

"Is that so?"

Onoki slowly lowered his head, thought for a moment, then raised it again and said, "You all must remain vigilant these days. Besides driving out the Konoha ninja, you must also keep a close eye on Akatsuki's movements. I suspect they might invade us..."

Boom!

The earth suddenly began to tremble!

A deafening explosion rang out!

Onoki and the captain of the Iwagakure ANBU changed their expressions, exchanged a glance, and then decided to leave to quickly investigate the location of the explosion.

Before they could even react, the scout ninja who had first discovered the problem reported back: "Lord Tsuchikage, the village's outer defenses have been breached by the enemy!"

"Organize a defense immediately!"

After giving a loud order, Onoki donned his Tsuchikage hat and flew out of the window, his small frame propelled by: "I'm heading to the village's outer defenses right now!"

Outside Iwahiku Village.

An ancient dragon stood outside the village, looking down at this large ninja village. It opened its mouth and spewed out a huge fireball, blasting a gap in the outer wall of the extremely large ninja village, and stepped proudly into the village.

Because the enemy descended from the sky, the Iwagakure ninjas stationed on the city wall had no time to react and were directly blasted to the ground by a huge fireball from the ancient dragon!

The ancient dragon walked step by step into the village of Iwagakure, its huge wings on its back lowered slightly. It slowly brushed past the sentry posts built on the city wall, and then crashed into the buildings one after another.

The sounds of rows of buildings collapsing echoed one after another.

The massive ancient dragon's trek into the entire Hidden Stone Village was nothing short of an apocalyptic catastrophe for the village's ninjas.

Wherever the ancient dragon passed, countless plumes of smoke and dust rose, and everywhere there were shouts and wails of people. After seeing the ancient dragon's body, everyone began to flee in panic along the central street of Iwagakure Village.

The first person to arrive was not the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, but his granddaughter, Kurotsuchi, a young female ninja who had recently become the captain of the Lava Release unit in Iwagakure.

Kurotsuchi leaped onto the roof of a single-story house, directing the nearby residents to evacuate while rallying her ninjas for defense and counterattack: "Team 5, you go and organize the evacuation of the nearby civilians! The rest of you, follow me!"

"yes!"

"clear!"

"Captain Black Soil!"

Suddenly, an Iwa ninja pointed to a figure standing atop the ancient giant dragon's head and shouted, "Captain, it looks like there's a person standing on that monster's head!"

"Is anyone there?"

Kurotsuchi subconsciously looked up at the top of the ancient dragon's head, and when she saw the familiar golden hair, a look of surprise appeared on her face: "That's... Brother Deidara?"

"Deidara?"

"Isn't that a rogue ninja from the demolition squad?"

"Shut up, all of you!"

After giving a stern rebuke, Heitu gritted his teeth and said, "Come with me immediately to stop this monster from wreaking havoc in the village and protect the villagers!"

Just as the Lava Release troops arrived, Deidara stood atop the ancient dragon's head, surveying the scenery of his homeland: "Ha, looks like it's still the same here! Not much has changed in all these years. This old man is truly useless!"

"It doesn't seem like there's anything particularly interesting to see..."

Uehara Naraku yawned listlessly and glanced at his system panel, which showed that he had been rewarded with 100 gold coins for discovering Iwagakure.

This small reward is really only enough to appease a beggar.

"Then I'll show you something real!"

Deidara suddenly opened his palm and released two-winged clay birds from his hand, which circled around Deidara.

Deidara suddenly pointed to the tallest building in Iwagakure and shouted with wild laughter, "Go! Let the villagers see for themselves that Deidara's art is back!"

"..."

Uehara Naraku, Sasori, Sasuke, and Kabuto Yakushi exchanged glances, their faces simultaneously revealing a look of disdain for Deidara.

Damn it, that's all the guy is good for!

"Molten Release: Lime Condensation Technique!"

Suddenly, a series of sharp shouts rang out, and a row of Iwa ninjas stood on a tall building, spitting out clumps of cement towards the feet of the ancient dragon!

It was the Rock Hidden Lava Escape Force commanded by Kurotsuchi.

Kurotsuchi clasped her hands together, releasing a ninjutsu while shouting, "Concentrate the target area of ​​the technique at its feet to stop it from advancing!"

Clumps of cement fell rapidly!

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change; this cement quickly sealed one of the ancient dragon's feet and attempted to seal one of its legs!

Unfortunately, the ancient dragon simply flapped its wings and broke free with a little effort, then leisurely shook off the cement beneath its feet and continued on its way.

"Hahaha... Little Heitu has grown up!"

Deidara noticed this scene. Standing atop the ancient dragon's head, he looked at Kurotsuchi's angry and anxious face, spread his arms wide like a megaphone, and shouted loudly at Kurotsuchi, "Come on, Kurotsuchi! Don't give up!"

"..."

Upon hearing Deidara's shout, the little girl from the black soil momentarily lost her composure, then her face grew even more anxious and angry.

Heitu's mentality is starting to crumble.

If it weren't for her subordinates in front of her, and the fact that she couldn't lose face as captain, Kurotsuchi felt a little wronged.

The enemy is cheering themselves on, what kind of nonsense is this!

Not to mention a young girl like Kurotsuchi, the expressions on the faces of the Akatsuki members were also quite interesting. Sasori of the Red Sand covered his forehead and cursed, "This guy, is he really an idiot?"

"It's probably just to provoke the enemy!"

Uchiha Sasuke raised an eyebrow and explained softly.

Sasori shook his head helplessly and said, "No, Deidara is probably just cheering for that little girl!"

Yes, Deidara's thoughts were that pure.

Therefore, while the Iwa ninjas were furious, believing that Deidara was humiliating their captain, the little girl Kurotsuchi shook her head weakly and said, "No need for that. Brother Deidara was probably just casually encouraging me..."

"Kuroto, step back!"

A tall figure appeared beside Kurotsuchi and ordered her and the Lava Release unit to leave: "You immediately lead the Lava Release unit to organize the civilians in the village to evacuate. Leave this place to me!"

"Lord Lord Loess!"

The faces of the many Iwa ninja were filled with both surprise and joy.

The person who arrived here was Huang Tu, Hei Tu's father.

Apart from the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, Huangtu's strength is undoubtedly the strongest in the entire Iwagakure village, and he has always been hailed as the strongest Earth Release ninja.

After hesitating for a second, Heitu nodded to his father, leaped towards the ground, and led his men to organize civilians to take refuge.

Huang Tu's aura surged rapidly. He suddenly bent down and slammed his palms into the ground, staring directly at Deidara atop the ancient giant dragon's head. He said in a deep voice, "Don't be too arrogant in your own homeland... Deidara! Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"

"Tsk, this is troublesome!"

Deidara shook his head at the appearing yellow earth, then turned and shouted, "Hey, are you ready! Uncle Yellow Earth can easily suppress a rampaging tailed beast!"

The next moment, two semi-circular earthen mounds suddenly rose up!

No, strictly speaking, these are two tall, semi-circular earthen hills!

Suddenly, the two earthen mounds closed in, encircling the ancient dragon and trapping it inside!

The enormous creature roared loudly and flapped its wings with all its might. Even though the ancient dragon's wings pushed outwards with all its might, it could not stop the two semi-circular earthen mounds from closing together!

"This is so troublesome."

Uehara Naraku frowned, slowly stood up, clenched his fist, and gathered his chakra into it.

The next moment, Uehara's figure appeared instantly next to a hill and suddenly swung his fist!

Boom!

The earth shook instantly!

A mound of earth was instantly blasted away by Uehara Naraku's punch. The mound was shattered by a tremendous force, and countless huge chunks of earth rolled and smashed down a large number of houses in Iwagakure!

Uehara Naraku calmly adjusted his hood, glanced at the sweat-drenched yellow dust on his forehead, and said coldly, "Hey, don't hurt my pet. If you have any problems, you can come at me..."

"It really is Xiaoyao?"

Huang Tu slowly stood up, watching as figures draped in black robes adorned with auspicious cloud patterns appeared, and said in a deep voice, "What is the purpose of your attack on Iwagakure?"

"This question is meaningless."

Uehara Naraku looked at the yellow earth and smiled as he said, "Whatever our purpose is, now that we're here, are we supposed to leave empty-handed?"

Uehara Naraku looked at the somewhat speechless yellow earth, waved his hand, and said, "Fine, if we said we wanted the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, would your Iwagakure village obediently hand it over?"

"So it really is for the tailed beasts?"

Huang Tu slowly clenched his fist, his expression gradually becoming more solemn. He said in a low voice, "Of course we won't hand them over. We would never give our comrades in the village to the enemy!"

"Mmm, I understand."

Uehara Naraku nodded casually and said, "Actually, when we encounter other ninja villages, they always say the same thing. It's to show your attitude of protecting your comrades, even though in the end, none of you will have a good ending."

"Iwagakure is different from other villages!"

"Aren't they all the same?"

Uehara Naraku spread his palms and chuckled, "Anyway, there's nothing to talk about. Fortunately, we weren't planning on negotiating with you anyway. We're just here to capture the Five-Tails Jinchuriki from Iwagakure, and incidentally..."

As he said this, Uehara Naraku looked at the yellow earth, his voice gradually turning cold: "Destroy this village."

"Young people these days are so hot-blooded!"

An aged voice reached everyone's ears.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, flew over from the sky. When he saw the destruction caused by the ancient dragon, his eyes narrowed slightly: "How dare they do this? It seems I'll have to leave you all here..."

Uehara Naraku watched the approaching Tsuchikage and said softly, "Then we'll have to see Tsuchikage's strength."

"rest assured."

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, clasped his hands together, and a ball of white light appeared in the hollow of his palm: "I will not let you guys succeed!"

In a one-on-one fight, Onoki wouldn't really dare to use this move.

After all, this is Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village), and if the Dust Release technique misses its target, innocent people will be harmed.

However, the ancient dragon on the ground is a very easy target to hit, making it the perfect target for releasing the Dust Release technique!

"Damn it, it's the Primal Realm Detachment Technique!"

Deidara's face showed a look of surprise, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "The old man is still so ruthless! Hey, you guys be careful, don't come into contact with his magic, or you'll be disintegrated!"

"Don't worry."

After Uehara Naraku finished speaking, he turned to look at Yakushi Kabuto and said softly, "Kabuto, why don't you help this Third Tsuchikage loosen up his muscles?"

The third update will be a little late...
