Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 259 Uehara: It seems we can't keep a low profile any longer.

The way the Five-Tails, Kokuo, was defeated terrified the Iwa ninja.

As the Five-Tails Kokuou was defeated, its chakra gradually contracted and eventually returned to Han's body, revealing the figure of the Jinchuriki wearing bright red armor.

Han's expression was also not very good.

I never imagined that, apart from the reckless Raikage of Kumogakure, there would be other people in the ninja world who could shake a tailed beast with their bare hands.

Before Han could even retaliate, Uehara Naraku grabbed his shoulder and delivered a knee strike to his chest. The Five-Tails Jinchuriki coughed up blood and was about to fall backward in a sorry state!

"Can you behave now?"

Uehara Naraku released his grip, watching the Five-Tails Jinchuriki fall to the ground, before chuckling and continuing, "It seems he's become more obedient after being disciplined!"

Because the system panel also gave Uehara Naraku a prompt.

Clearly, Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and the Five-Tails Kokuou within him have lost their fighting ability and can no longer pose a threat to him.

Side Quest: Defeat Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. Quest complete. Reward: 100 Gold Coins.

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki is such a character with a very low profile!

Aside from Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast; Killer Bee, the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tailed Beast; and Naruto Uzumaki, the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Beast, the other Jinchuriki seem rather weak…

Of course, this is also because the other tailed beasts aren't much better.

After all, a group of tailed beasts were overwhelmed by half of the Nine-Tails, which directly served as a backdrop to highlight the Nine-Tails' immense power. Until Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha appeared, almost everyone believed that the Nine-Tails' power was the strongest in the ninja world.

Side Quest: Defeat the Five-Tailed King Mu. Quest complete. Reward: Destruction Charge skill.

Devastating Charge: Grants a significant movement speed boost for 4 seconds. When initiating a charge, the immense speed grants tremendous power, enough to knock away any target. No cooldown. Minimum chakra cost: 60.

This is a physical skill.

One day I might try to clash with Might Guy.

Uehara Naraku pulled the Five-Tails Jinchuriki to his feet, waved to Uchiha Sasuke, and said, "Sasuke, let's go!"

"Senior, it seems we're surrounded..."

A red light flashed in Sasuke Uchiha's eyes.

After the battle between Uehara Naraku and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki ended, a group of Iwa ninja gathered several hundred meters away from them and surrounded them.

There appeared to be at least several hundred, or even a thousand, Iwa ninjas, densely packed together in the area, each one staring at them with a solemn expression.

Originally, Deidara was supposed to lead the Ancient Dragon to defeat the Iwa ninja who were besieging Uehara Naraku and Uchiha Sasuke. Unfortunately, Deidara and the Ancient Dragon were restricted by the Mountain Earth Technique used by the Yellow Earth Boss, and they were unable to free up their forces for the time being.

The Iwagakure ninjas didn't sense much danger, so they were able to come in droves to support the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's battle. Even though Uehara Naraku had previously defeated one wave, he couldn't stop these ninjas from continuously arriving.

"Earth Escape·Earth Style City Bi!"

One by one, the Iwa ninjas swiftly unleashed their ninjutsu, and towering walls rose from the ground, encircling Uehara Naraku and Uchiha Sasuke.

A group of Iwa ninja climbed the city wall, looking down at the two Akatsuki members trapped inside. The leading Iwa captain gritted his teeth, raised his arm, and shouted, "Kill them! Rescue Lord Han!"

"yes!"

"Charge!"

"Charge! Rescue Lord Han!"

The Iwa ninjas standing on the earthen walls of the castle launched the first attack, leaping down from the walls and surrounding Uehara Naraku and Uchiha Sasuke!

The other Iwa ninjas quickly jumped up from behind the earthen walls to fill their positions, following closely behind. The Iwa ninjas' best fighting style is to defeat the enemy with an overwhelming numerical advantage!

"Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon!"

A dozen or so Jonin from Iwagakure quickly joined their hands in a hand seal, and a dozen earthen dragons emerged from the ground, lunging towards Uehara Naraku and Uchiha Sasuke!

"Amaterasu!"

Uchiha Sasuke activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and a ball of jet-black flames instantly appeared around them, forming a jet-black defensive circle!

After setting up the defensive perimeter of Amaterasu's black flames, Sasuke Uchiha looked at Naraku Uehara and shouted, "Senpai, use Wind Release!"

Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but glance at Sasuke.

Sasuke is a guy who... He can't get things done when you ask him to, but when you don't need him, he jumps out and shows off his power.

Uehara Naraku could only sigh helplessly, clasping his hands together and whispering, "Wind Release: Tornado!"

More than a dozen hurricanes flew out from around Uehara Naraku, blowing Amaterasu rapidly outwards. With the enhancement of the Wind Release ninjutsu, the power of Amaterasu was almost maximized, and more than a dozen earth and stone dragons were instantly burned by Amaterasu and fell to the ground!

The Iwa ninja who charged first soon tasted the bitter fruit. Under the scorching heat of Amaterasu's black flames, they lay on the ground and rolled around trying to extinguish the flames. However, the black flames could not be extinguished at all and just stubbornly burned their bodies!

The first wave of Iwa ninja who charged in were thus defeated.

However, the remaining Iwa ninja seemed to have noticed the terrifying nature of the black flames and began to unleash Earth Release ninjutsu at Uehara Naraku and Uchiha Sasuke from a distance.

Sasuke swung his ninja sword, knocking away the pebbles falling from the sky, and chuckled as he said, "Senpai, it seems we're quite well-suited to be teammates. Amaterasu's burning range will be even larger with the Wind Release enhancement..."

"Um…"

Uehara Naraku shook his head speechlessly at the scene. After continuing to form hand seals, he stretched his palms out towards the distant city walls surrounding them and whispered, "Fire Release: Blazing Storm! Wind Release: Spiral Hurricane!"

A massive storm of flames erupted from Uehara Naraku's hand, a swirling hurricane enveloping the enormous flames. With the aid of wind and fire ninjutsu, it swiftly blasted away the charging Iwa ninjas and broke through their encirclement!

"Go! Charge out!"

Uehara Naraku waved his hand, picked up the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's body, and rushed through the gap in the encirclement with Uchiha Sasuke. All the Iwa ninja who tried to stop them were easily dealt with by Sasuke using Chidori!

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha finally felt his own power. With the combined power of the Sharingan and Chidori, he was able to easily defeat any enemy who stood in his way.

Sasuke killed all the dozens of fearless Iwa ninja he encountered along the way!

The two of them bravely broke through the encirclement of Iwagakure!

Uehara Naraku hurriedly handed the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, to Uchiha Sasuke, and softly praised him, "Well done. Go and take the Five-Tails Jinchuriki to the Ancient Dragon first. I'll take care of these pursuers..."

"Senior, let me do it!"

"No, let me do it."

Uehara Naraku shook his head and explained softly, "If I encounter danger, I can fly away at any time. You go and bring the Jinchuriki back first; our mission is the priority!"

"Yes."

After Uchiha Sasuke left.

Uehara Naraku turned around and looked at the group of Iwa ninja who were chasing after him with predatory eyes. He slowly flew into the air and calmly spread his palms out towards the sky.

Uehara Naraku casually glanced down at the Iwa ninja on the ground, and sighed softly, "The troublesome brats are finally gone. In the next battle, who survives will depend on your luck..."

"What?"

The Iwa ninja on the ground looked up in surprise.

However, they quickly understood what Uehara Naraku meant.

The dark clouds in the sky suddenly began to gather, as if someone were using wind-style ninjutsu to forcibly bring them together, forming a cumulonimbus cloud.

A single raindrop fell first…

Just as a curious Iwa ninja stretched out his finger to catch the raindrop, the raindrop unexpectedly transformed into a tiny water dragon, which shot towards his throat!

The Iwa ninja's throat was instantly blasted open by the small water dragon bullet, and blood kept spraying out!

"All units, defend!"

The leader of the Iwa ninja team immediately noticed this and shouted, "Everyone, watch out for the rain! Be wary of any raindrops falling around you!"

"team leader!"

An Iwa ninja looked up and pointed to the cumulonimbus clouds covering the entire village of Iwagakure, a look of despair on his face, and asked, "But what about the rest of the village?"

The entire Iwagakure village is very large.

The cumulonimbus clouds in the sky covered the entire village.

The Iwa ninja captain gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Immediately warn the others to be careful of this heavy rain; it's an enemy technique!"

After saying that, the Iwa ninja captain's expression darkened again. "If we don't have time, then we can only wish them good luck, just like the enemy said!"

"This…"

The Iwa ninja present all gasped in shock.

"We need to prepare for the worst."

The Iwa ninja captain looked up at Uehara Naraku in the air, gritted his teeth, and said, "Immediately send men to notify all areas. The other teams present must find a way to attack the enemy and stop their ninjutsu!"

In truth, the Iwa ninja captain knew that Uehara Naraku's technique was unstoppable, and their only hope was to kill the enemy and end his ninjutsu!

above the sky.

Uehara Naraku's figure appeared insignificant amidst the cumulonimbus clouds, yet the cumulonimbus clouds above his head were a ninjutsu he created by combining the power of wind and water.

This technique was first tested by Uehara Naraku, and it can be considered a technique used to deal with large-scale ninja forces. Most importantly, its coverage area is large enough.

If this technique succeeds, it means that Uehara Naraku could perform other ninjutsu, such as unleashing fire from the sky or bringing down justice from the heavens...

"Give it a try."

Uehara Naraku looked down at Iwagakure, which was shrouded in dark clouds, and slowly opened his palm, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Let me see how many ninjas you have now, and what you can use to stop my ninjutsu..."

Uehara Naraku slammed his hand down on the ground, shouting coldly, "Water Release: Heavenly Rain Water Dragon Bullet!"

A torrential downpour fell from the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky!

In an instant, the raindrops fell from the sky, the dense raindrops transforming into water dragon bullets, rushing towards the Iwa ninja on the ground!

These tiny water dragon bullets are just as effective as real water dragon bullets, except that they contain much less chakra and have significantly less impact.

However, these tiny water dragon bullets did not land on the ground, but roared towards every enemy nearby, every enemy with chakra!

The strikes are precise and the techniques produce visually appealing results.

An Iwa ninja raised his sword, slicing through the raindrops: "Are you kidding me? How could a ninjutsu of this level possibly hurt me?"

The next moment, however, a small water dragon bullet struck his knee, knocking him to the ground. Other water dragon bullets immediately swarmed him, and the Iwa ninja was quickly forced to give up his resistance...

"My ultimate technique! Smoke Screen!"

Uehara Naraku rubbed his palms, releasing wisps of smoke to restore his chakra. The chakra consumption during the duration of this technique was enormous; even with the reduction in chakra consumption, each raindrop would consume about 5 points of chakra.

Tens of thousands of tiny water dragon bullets have now fallen on the entire Iwagakure village, and this number is increasing by tens of thousands per second.

Half a minute later, the entire Hidden Stone Village was plunged into chaos.

Thousands of ninjas were forced to deal with the Water Dragon Bullet attack, and there were Iwa ninjas everywhere, groaning from serious injuries or lying on the ground.

As Uehara Naraku watched his rapidly increasing three-dimensional attributes and his rapidly depleting chakra, he took a deep breath and instantly flew towards the location of the Tsuchikage: "But more important than all this is the most crucial reward!"

For Uehara Naraku, the most important reward was breaking through Iwagakure's earth power, which would allow him to use earth-style ninjutsu at will.

Under the onslaught of the Water Dragon Bullets, no ninja in the entire Hidden Stone Village had the energy to stop Uehara Naraku. They could only tremble and hide or try to destroy any small Water Dragon Bullets that attacked them.

Even Onoki and Yotsuchi, who were both from the Two Scales, were distracted by the tiny water dragon bullets falling from the sky. Onoki could only flee under the attack of the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, and Yotsuchi also gave up maintaining the Mountain and Earth Technique, allowing Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand to fly out of the Mountain and Earth Technique's restraints with the Ancient Dragon.

Before Uehara Naraku made his move, Iwagakure was barely able to maintain a balance of power, but now they have been completely defeated by the Heavenly Rain Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

No one in the entire Hidden Stone Village had the energy to care about what the Akatsuki were doing.

Uehara Naraku stood atop the Tsuchikage Tower, leisurely waving his hand. Instantly, the tower was crushed and destroyed by a hurricane: "Let me see what kind of power earth, water, and wind can combine to create!"

Side Quest: Successfully conquer Iwagakure Village (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: Passive talent skill Earth Power.

Earth Power: Allows free manipulation of earth-attribute chakra, enabling the creation and use of earth-style ninjutsu at will; it is a component of Truth-Seeking Balls.

Wood Power (Activated): Allows free manipulation of Wood Release chakra, composed of Earth and Water power, to create and use Wood Release ninjutsu at will.

Magnetism (Activated): Allows free manipulation of Magnet Release chakra, composed of wind and earth power, to create and use Magnet Release ninjutsu at will.

Looking at the rewards on the system panel, Uehara Naraku suddenly felt that he could no longer keep a low profile.

There's one more update coming up...

Damn it, I feel like an idiot again!

One chapter went from four thousand words to just a few...
