Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 271 Jue, in fact, has always been mine!

"Kid, you knew it!"

Obito Uchiha looked at Naraku Uehara, grinning and spreading his palms wide, laughing unrestrainedly: "Hahahaha... But I never expected to see such a good show today!"

After saying this, Obito Uchiha's voice suddenly turned gloomy, as if he were acting nervously: "Hmph, Uehara Naraku, you're right. If you kill too many powerful ninjas, won't I have to face all of you monsters alone in the future?"

Obito Uchiha was a complete lunatic.

The Akatsuki members who were unaware of the situation couldn't help but frown, especially Pain and Black Zetsu, who greatly disliked these unplanned individuals.

The Akatsuki members who knew the situation also frowned, because they saw Uehara Naraku frowning, and they had to follow the crowd.

Those in the Akatsuki organization who were only partially aware of the situation also frowned, because his name was Uchiha Sasuke.

"Uchiha Obito!"

Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan was incredibly strange. He stared intently at Obito Uchiha, manipulating his Susanoo to raise a purple bow and arrow towards Obito!

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth and said, "You traitor to Konoha, you lackey of the Uchiha clan... I'll kill you right now!"

"Hahaha, you must have made a mistake!"

Obito Uchiha scratched his head and chuckled, "Hahaha, but it doesn't matter anyway! I've become filthy now, so if you want to kill me, you'd better watch out for your life!"

This is absolutely true.

Obito Uchiha was speaking from the heart when he said these things.

Ever since he first plotted against Uehara Naraku eight years ago, he has been scapegoated. Even now that his people are dead, his body is still being smeared with dirty water.

Uchiha Sasuke, of course, had no idea.

After the giant arrow of the purple Susanoo was aimed at Obito Uchiha, it suddenly shot towards Obito with a momentum as strong as a rainbow, as if it wanted to directly pierce through Obito Uchiha!

Unfortunately, Obito Uchiha's body was in a holographic state, and the giant arrow pierced through his body and fell into the lake.

"Hehehe, really..."

Obito Uchiha stroked his mask with his hand and chuckled in a sinister voice, "Sasuke, your Mangekyou Sharingan is far inferior to your brother Itachi Uchiha's!"

"Sasuke, instead of participating in these battles, you should hide and protect your life! If you die, the Uchiha clan will truly be wiped out!"

This statement is also a sincere piece of advice.

Because the only Uchiha truly alive in this world is Uchiha Sasuke.

Despite the advice of his clan's annihilation enemy, Sasuke naturally refused to listen and even angrily wanted to continue manipulating Susanoo to launch an attack.

Fortunately, Kabuto, who was standing nearby, couldn't bear to watch and persuaded him to stop: "Sasuke, your strength isn't enough to kill him yet! Don't waste your chakra..."

"Yes, Kabuto-senpai."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded obediently. Faced with someone like Kabuto Yakushi, who was one of his own, Sasuke Uchiha still had to listen to his advice.

Obito Uchiha gave Sasuke a deep look, then Pain, and finally Black Zetsu before saying, "Alright, I've seen all your efforts in collecting the Tailed Beasts. When I kill you all in the future, I'll give you a quick death!"

After saying that, Obito Uchiha was about to disappear into a space-time vortex.

Pain suddenly stretched out his palm, a gravitational force emanating from his body, aimed directly at Obito Uchiha: "Universal Pull!"

He wanted to stop Obito Uchiha!

Upon sensing the gravitational pull, Obito Uchiha instantly canceled his return to the Kamui dimension, transforming into nothingness to evade the Universal Pull.

This is the troublesome aspect of Obito Uchiha's abilities.

It's very difficult for anyone in this world to truly hurt him.

Obito Uchiha chuckled softly, looking at Pain and saying, "We know each other's abilities very well, no need to waste your energy... Protect your eyes during this time, I might come to take them at any time, hahahahaha!"

After a burst of wild laughter, Obito Uchiha was about to disappear from everyone's sight once again.

This time, Pain did not stop him.

If we act rashly without a way to truly harm Obito Uchiha, we will easily arouse his suspicion.

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth in resentment.

Now that Obito Uchiha is gone, this hatred can only be suppressed for the time being.

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. No one had expected that the entire Akatsuki organization, mobilized as a whole, would fail to capture Obito Uchiha!

He even took Jiraiya with him!

"Alright, everyone go back and prepare!"

Pain glanced at everyone present and said in a low voice, "I need to rethink the plan to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"..."

The members of Akatsuki exchanged glances and decided to return to Akatsuki's base.

After they had all left, Pain slowly raised his head to look at the overcast sky and said in a deep voice, "I don't know when Jiraiya-sensei will return to Konoha with our information, so the plan to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cannot be delayed..."

"In that case..."

Uehara Naraku frowned slightly and said softly, "So, we have to capture both the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at the same time?"

To be honest, Uehara didn't like this plan.

Because of this, his schedule would become very rushed.

Whether it was breaking through the Lightning Power of Kumogakure or the Fire Power of Konoha, these were things that Uehara Naraku did not want to give up easily.

"Yes, that's right."

After Pain finished speaking, he said in a low voice, "As for Obito Uchiha, let's figure out a way to deal with his threat after we capture Kurama! Facing the mysterious space-time jutsu, it's difficult to counter anything other than space-time jutsu..."

"Nagato".

Konan stood beside Uehara, glanced at Uehara Naraku, and said softly, "If it's Uchiha Obito, I've already prepared a technique to defeat him, and I'm very confident I can eliminate him."

"Okay, let's go back and prepare first."

Pain slowly turned and walked into Amegakure, saying in a deep voice, "We must capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as soon as possible to complete the plan to revive the Gedo Mazo... Otherwise, other unforeseen events could easily occur."

"Um…"

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Unfortunately, Uehara now has to introduce some unexpected changes to the plan, since the original plan to revive the Gedo Mazo was a complete lie!

After seeing Pain leave, Uehara Naraku and Konan returned to Amegakure. On the way, he also looked at the rewards he had received.

Side Quest: Help Jiraiya escape the Amegakure invasion (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: One consumable Truth-Seeking Ball.

Truth-Seeking Ball (Consumable): A ninjutsu derived from the ultimate transformation of the power of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang. Only those with the power of the Six Paths can control and touch it. Other enemies will be instantly reduced to nothingness by the Truth-Seeking Ball. This Truth-Seeking Ball can only be used once.

Damn, that's a huge profit.

This was Uehara Naraku's first thought.

How can the system still offer rewards like the Seeking the Dao Jade?

Is this still a normal reward?

At this stage, this is clearly a cheat code!

One Truth-Seeking Ball means that Uehara Naraku can destroy any ninja at any time, even Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama!

As expected... many people who like anime actually hope that Jiraiya can live on.

Uehara Naraku originally wanted to spare Jiraiya's life, mainly because he felt that Nagato and Konan owed him a debt of gratitude that was difficult to repay. Moreover, after Nagato killed Jiraiya, he would regret his mistake sooner or later.

The ultimate weapon is a lie.

Nagato's claim that he had to kill Jiraiya because of his ideals and the impassable path would only become the biggest mistake he ever made.

It would be better to let Uehara Naraku take advantage of this situation.

After all, the reward for this side quest that spared Jiraiya's life has a high probability of yielding the most valuable reward in the 2D wish system.

In fact, the reward for this mission did not disappoint Uehara Naraku.

It even far exceeded Uehara Naraku's expectations.

the other side.

Within the Divine Might Space.

Jiraiya was still surveying the layout of the entire Kamui space.

Just then, a spacetime vortex appeared in the Kamui dimension, and Obito Uchiha's figure fell down. Jiraiya couldn't help but frown.

Obito Uchiha was the culprit behind Konoha's later decline. If Obito Uchiha hadn't killed Minato Namikaze and his wife, Konoha would definitely be stronger than it is now.

At least we won't have to deal with the Akatsuki organization, which is still so troublesome...

"Lord Jiraiya..."

Obito Uchiha casually opened his palm and chuckled, saying, "I saved you from that life-or-death situation just now. Shouldn't you be grateful to your benefactor?"

"You're really kind of yourself..."

Jiraiya's face gradually grew serious. He recalled the information about Obito Uchiha from Amegakure. Obito Uchiha had been expelled from Akatsuki, so was he trying to use Konoha's power to take revenge?

Jiraiya, panting heavily, forcefully pulled the black rods from his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "You were expelled from Akatsuki a long time ago, so you saved me, the enemy of my enemy, because you wanted revenge or to control the power of the tailed beasts that Akatsuki would collect in the future?"

"As expected of Jiraiya-sama."

Obito Uchiha clapped his hands lightly and exclaimed in praise, "Actually, I also wanted to say that I genuinely want to save Lord Jiraiya right now!"

That's the truth.

Jiraiya was Minato Namikaze's teacher and one of Konoha's strongest fighters; after saving Jiraiya, Obito Uchiha was able to somewhat alleviate his guilt.

Unfortunately, he is now being controlled by Uehara Naraku.

Otherwise, Obito Uchiha would really like to repent properly.

Jiraiya slowly bandaged his wounds, glanced at Obito Uchiha, and muttered, "Do you think I'd believe that? Honestly, they were supposed to be well-behaved kids... but they all grew up to be a huge problem!"

Jiraiya's disciple, Nagato, Konan.

Obito Uchiha, a disciple of Minato Namikaze.

Sasuke Uchiha, a disciple of Kakashi Hatake.

These little guys, once they grow up, become more and more troublesome, and they all possess the power to shake the world.

"Alright, Jiraiya-sama."

Obito Uchiha rubbed his mask and said softly, "I'll send you back to Konoha immediately. Because you've stolen too much information, Nagato and his group's invasion of Konoha might have to be brought forward significantly!"

"Although the intention was to use someone else to do the dirty work..."

Jiraiya smiled slightly, but there was a hint of melancholy in his smile: "But in the end, it still helped me return to protect Konoha..."

"hehe…"

Obito Uchiha smiled and said, "No matter what, Konoha is still my hometown!"

Jiraiya glanced at Obito Uchiha, shook his head, and said, "You are the culprit who caused the Nine-Tails' attack and nearly destroyed the entire Hidden Leaf Village. You don't need to put on this act in front of me..."

"…yes."

Obito Uchiha's body gradually stiffened, and the next moment he uttered these words: "Now can we get down to business? Lord Jiraiya, how about considering cooperating with me to take down Akatsuki?"

"cooperate?"

Jiraiya looked at Obito Uchiha, his eyes narrowing slightly: "If we cooperate with someone like you to fight Akatsuki, wouldn't that be like asking a tiger for its skin?"

"Yes."

Obito Uchiha nodded, then continued in a deep voice, "But if you want to eliminate Akatsuki, it's nothing but wishful thinking! In this world, besides me, no one can help you eliminate Akatsuki!"

After Obito Uchiha finished speaking, he turned to Jiraiya and said, "If we cooperate to eliminate Nagato, Konan, and Uehara Naraku, who are the core members of Akatsuki, it means that Akatsuki will soon collapse."

"...That sounds familiar."

A flicker of confusion crossed Jiraiya's face, followed by a face full of black lines: "I remember that brat Uehara Naraku once said that as long as we get rid of you, Obito Uchiha, the mastermind behind everything, the Akatsuki will collapse..."

He's lying to you!

Obito Uchiha looked at Jiraiya and said in a deep voice, "Naraku Uehara is lying to you. He has been lying to you all along, and even..."

Even now, they're still lying to you.

But no matter what, he couldn't bring himself to say those words.

Jiraiya glared at Obito Uchiha and said in a deep voice, "That brat has been lying to us all along. Aren't you lying to me now?"

"So what?"

Obito Uchiha approached Jiraiya little by little and whispered, "Even if I'm lying to you now, you'll still fall for it after hearing what I say, won't you?"

"What did you say?"

"I still have people in Xiao's group."

Obito Uchiha looked at Jiraiya and said, word by word, "As long as we cooperate, I can pass on false information to the Akatsuki at any time."

Obito Uchiha approached little by little, his voice even carrying a hint of seduction: "Zetsu, the Akatsuki's intelligence agent, has actually always been one of my men!"

It's a bit late. Thanks for writing the list this afternoon.

At least three chapters today... possibly more.
