Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 260 Possible Leaked Information (Third Update Delivered!)

An ancient dragon roared in from the sky.

The ancient dragon slowly landed on the ruins of the Earth Shadow Building. Deidara stood atop the dragon's head, pouting in dissatisfaction: "I wanted to smash this building when I was a kid, why wasn't it left for me to do it?!"

"You guys are too slow."

Uehara Naraku frowned and glanced at the people on the ancient dragon. Uchiha Sasuke was also on it with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. Now that the goal had been achieved, there was no need to stay in Iwagakure any longer.

Let's go!

Uehara Naraku landed on the ancient dragon and whispered, "Kabuto, recall the Second Tsuchikage. We can go now."

"Yes."

The pharmacist raised his finger.

The Second Tsuchikage, who was still entangled with the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, immediately flew towards the Ancient Dragon and landed on its back.

Upon witnessing this, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, turned back and charged towards the ancient dragon. He hovered above it, his face grim, and said, "You bunch of bastards have invaded Iwagakure, and you think you can leave?"

To be honest, the situation in Iwagakure is much better than that in Sunagakure and Kirigakure after they were invaded, but this behavior is still a slap in the face to the Third Tsuchikage!

Kabuto adjusted his glasses, maneuvering the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, into the air, and chuckled, "What's wrong, Tsuchikage? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

"snort!"

Deidara snorted and said, "Old man, I saw you being beaten and forced to flee by the Second Tsuchikage! Are you just too afraid of dying now that you're getting old?"

"Shut up!"

Onoki glared at Deidara, the little traitor, and said in a deep voice, "Before, it wasn't that I was afraid of death, but that I couldn't die... Now that you guys are all here, it doesn't matter!"

Previously, the Akatsuki members were scattered, and Onoki dared not go all out, lest if he were to be defeated or even die, there would be no one left to eliminate the Akatsuki members.

Now that these people are gathered together, isn't that giving him an opportunity?

After saying that, Onoki slowly closed his hands, channeling his Dust Release chakra, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You lot can all stay here!"

"I'll stop him, you guys go!"

Deidara pulled out a giant clay bird from his pocket.

I really don't know where Deidara gets his confidence from!

Uehara felt that Deidara was trying to get himself killed, how could he allow that?

Uehara Naraku extended his palm, and a stream of water instantly shattered the clay bird in Deidara's hand. He shouted, "Kabuto, use the Second Tsuchikage's Edo Tensei to hold him off! We're leaving first!"

Deidara, sitting atop the ancient dragon, puffed out his cheeks and glared at Uehara Naraku with displeasure: "Don't you ever stop ruining other people's art like that!"

"Shut up!"

Sasori rubbed his forehead.

Under Uehara's command, the ancient dragon roared away, leaving the sky above Iwagakure behind, leaving only devastation in its wake.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, stared grimly at the departing ancient dragon, then at the Second Tsuchikage, who was also hovering in the air watching him. He could only helplessly accept this reality.

This invasion by Akatsuki is a huge humiliation for Iwagakure.

After a battle using Dust Release techniques, the Second Tsuchikage Mukuro left Iwagakure under Kabuto Yakushi's manipulation, and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki did not choose to pursue him.

With all the Akatsuki members gone, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, would naturally not risk his life for a puppet resurrected through Edo Tensei, as that would be a bad deal.

Now, Onoki must remain viable, find a way to reclaim the Jinchuriki who was taken by Akatsuki, and appease the village's ninjas to rebuild the village.

This invasion resulted in heavy losses.

Even though Onoki only obtained a rough estimate, at least several thousand ninjas were seriously injured or killed, while not many civilians were affected.

The greatest loss was undoubtedly the loss of Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

With Rōshi's departure, the entire Iwagakure village now lacks any tailed beasts that can be used as strategic weapons.

"Perhaps, that guy Lao Zi has already been captured by Akatsuki."

Huang Tu, clutching the wound on his arm from the Water Dragon Bullet, stood before Onoki and said in a deep voice, "Judging from the order in which Akatsuki attacked the various ninja villages and captured Jinchuriki, they must have captured Roshi before attempting to capture the Five-Tails!"

"Who let that bastard Lao Zi run off on his own!"

Onoki clenched his small fist and muttered a curse under his breath.

That's the temperament of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki—simply stubborn and obnoxious.

Huang Tu inwardly criticized his father for a while before asking, "Shouldn't we join forces with other ninja villages to search for Akatsuki? Akatsuki is no longer our friend, but our enemy."

"Let me think..."

After shaking his head, Onoki clutched his aching lower back and said, "A few years ago, during the Grass Country incident, we cooperated with Akatsuki members to attack Konoha. How could they possibly trust us so easily..."

"Um…"

Huang Tu's expression was also not good. He sighed and said, "Even without these, there is still the hatred left over from the Fourth Shinobi World War."

After saying that, Huang Tu added, "As a Kage, Tsunade of Konoha shouldn't be that short-sighted."

"Women can be very vengeful."

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, shook his head and asked softly, "Do you still remember that Akatsuki member who contacted us back then?"

"Um."

Huang Tu nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's a woman with blue hair. She seems to be very skilled at fighting with paper. One of my men almost got killed by her when he tested her..."

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, slammed his fist on the table in front of him and berated his son: "Since you still remember this, stop thinking about all that nonsense and go send people to investigate Akatsuki!"

"etc…"

Huang Tu hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "If I remember correctly, that woman has never appeared among the active members of Akatsuki. Perhaps we can use this information to test Konoha."

As the son of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and a member of the upper echelons of Iwagakure, Huangtu had just as much intelligence as Onoki.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and he said in a deep voice, "Then send someone to Konoha. Don't expect us to reach an agreement on combating Akatsuki, but we can exchange some intelligence with them."

Information exchange is a normal occurrence.

Information is frequently exchanged between major ninja villages. For example, Iwagakure and Konoha often exchange information about Sunagakure.

"Mmm..."

Huang Tu nodded hastily and continued, "Actually, we could try to deepen our cooperation with Konoha, perhaps..."

"Get out!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, slammed his fist on the table and berated his son, sending him away.

This son has a simple and honest appearance, but he never listens to reason and always likes to offer his own self-righteous suggestions.

For the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, he would never easily cooperate with Konoha before seeing Konoha's sincerity.

the other side.

Uehara Naraku was also observing his own harvest.

In addition to the reward of defeating the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, this attack on Iwagakure also yielded the innate supernatural abilities of Earth, Wood, and Magnetism after destroying the village, as well as the generous rewards from Dark Harvest.

The casualty data that the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, did not have was easily calculated by Uehara Naraku based on the cumulative effects of his Dark Harvest.

Dark Harvest: After defeating a ninja, you will gain a portion of their power, increasing your Life Energy, Chakra Energy, and Natural Energy by 10 points each time. Currently, you have accumulated 249610 Life Energy, 249610 Chakra Energy, and 249610 Natural Energy.

Name: Uehara Naraku.

Life Energy: 323731

Chakra Energy: 321590

Natural Energy: 321590

Life energy recovery: 216 points/second

Chakra energy recovery: 108 points/second

Natural Energy Recovery: 216 points/second

Skill cooldown reduction: 100%

Remaining Gold Coins: 6630

Uehara Naraku tapped his fingers and slowly nodded. This number should probably be comparable to Uzumaki Naruto's.

After all, if Kakashi Hatake's highest chakra level is the minimum of 3,000 points for Kage level, then Naruto Uzumaki, when suppressing the Nine-Tails, has four times Kakashi's chakra; if Naruto Uzumaki doesn't need to suppress the Nine-Tails, his chakra is one hundred times that of Kakashi.

This protagonist is absolutely terrifying!

Uehara Naraku worked so hard for so long, and perhaps he could barely match the amount of chakra in someone else's body.

Fortunately, Uehara Naraku had already obtained the ultimate transformations of three chakra natures and three bloodline limits, so it wasn't too shameful.

Xiao's base.

Uehara Naraku's team was the first to return.

Kakuzu and his team have entered the Land of Waterfall and are still searching for the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki. They should be able to capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki soon.

Nagato led the Six Paths of Pain to capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki. He quickly arrived at his destination riding the Archaeopteryx and had already captured the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata. He was expected to return soon.

However, Nagato encountered trouble during his attempt to capture the Six-Tails.

"Someone saw Pain."

When Nagato contacted Uehara Naraku, he said softly, "The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Leaf Village have scattered hundreds of ninjas near the Six-Tails Jinchuriki. Even though I killed some of them, there are still quite a few who escaped."

Nagato didn't seem to care and continued softly, "However, even if they find out, it doesn't matter. We only need the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails."

"..."

Uehara Naraku's heart sank.

If Konoha and Kirigakure discover this, the information should soon reach Tsunade's desk and fall into Jiraiya's hands. The two of them will definitely know what the existence of the Rinnegan means!

"It should be alright, right?"

Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead: "I've already praised Lord Hanzo so much in front of them, do you think Jiraiya would still doubt me?"

We can finally begin!

A new climax is about to begin!

I can't help but feel a little excited just thinking about it!
