Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 303 Whenever we overestimate him, we actually underestimate him.

"Teacher, don't be afraid..."

The sound was like a ray of warm sunshine piercing through the darkness.

Xiao Nan heard that familiar voice and slowly raised her head, looking from the auspicious cloud-patterned black robe all the way to Uehara Naraku's face.

"Naraku..."

Xiao Nan whispered a name.

"Um."

Uehara Naraku gently stroked Konan's hair, softly comforting his teacher, "Konan-sensei, it's me."

The young ninja suddenly appeared and repelled the enemy. He then gently stroked the woman's light blue hair, calming her frightened emotions.

This scene appears incredibly heartwarming amidst the carnage of the battlefield.

After Konan saw that Uehara Naraku's initial shock had subsided, a hint of heartache and worry appeared in her eyes: "Naraku, what are you doing here?"

"I have privately developed a spacetime technique."

Uehara Naraku naturally used the Merciful Soul Drop skill. This skill is very simple and straightforward. As long as you find your teammate, you can directly provide your teammate with a shield that can protect them from a fatal blow and teleport your main body to them.

Of course, at this point, we need to change our approach.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this skill effect is just too overpowered.

Uehara looked down at Konan's expression, slowly lowered his hand, and told a white lie: "This space-time technique is similar to a summoning technique. This technique takes a long time to find and lock onto your chakra. Once I find your chakra, I will first transfer my chakra to protect you and at the same time provide me with a coordinate."

After saying this, Uehara glanced at the somewhat dejected Nagato and sighed softly, saying, "After receiving Nagato-sama's message, I began preparing this space-time technique in the Land of Lightning. Fortunately, I made it in time."

"fortunately…"

Nagato slowly lowered her head.

His face was also full of relief at surviving the ordeal.

Nagato and Konan looked both relieved and annoyed, because they didn't want Uehara Naraku to get involved in these matters and preferred that he stay out of the way.

However, Uehara Naraku had already rushed here with great effort, and given his personality, it was highly unlikely that he would abandon the two of them and leave.

"What's going on?"

Uehara Naraku frowned, looking at the countless resurrected ninjas scattered around, and said softly, "Never mind, Lord Nagato, I'll take you away from here first. We'll have to wait for another opportunity to deal with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"No."

Nagato shook his head and said in a deep voice, "We will no longer capture Jinchuriki. I'll tell you about that after this battle is over. Right now, we are facing the same enemy as Konoha. First, we must defeat Obito Uchiha and Kabuto Yakushi's Edo Tensei ninja!"

"Yakushi Kabuto?"

Uehara Naraku's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly masked his surprise and sighed softly, "It seems that Yakushi Kabuto, like Orochimaru, betrayed Akatsuki!"

Konan shook her head, a hint of worry in her eyes: "Kabuto Yakushi is a spy sent by Orochimaru... They are allies with Obito Uchiha, and their aim is to seize Nagato's Rinnegan and Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Cough cough cough..."

Nagato coughed violently a few times, then looked up at Uehara Naraku and said, "I'm sorry, Uehara, I didn't expect to drag you into this... We originally wanted to help you..."

"Lord Nagato."

Uehara Naraku shook his head, his gaze resolute, and said, "I am no longer the boy I used to be, and you have protected me for long enough. Now it is time for me to protect you."

At this moment, Uehara Naraku's expression was extremely solemn.

The next moment, Uehara Naraku suddenly turned around, facing all the enemies present, and clenched his fist, unleashing a surge of chakra energy!

Everyone felt this surging momentum!

Everyone on the battlefield involuntarily turned to look at Uehara Naraku, and almost everyone clenched their teeth involuntarily when they saw him!

"Uehara Naraku..."

For the people of Konoha, this bastard had been deceiving them all along, putting them at a disadvantage when facing the Akatsuki. If it weren't for Jiraiya risking his life to obtain the information, they would probably have remained in the dark forever.

Unfortunately, this guy has now become their comrade-in-arms, or at least for now. He is a powerful force that has come to support the battle and can barely keep the battle, which is on the verge of collapse, going.

For Minato Namikaze and the other reanimated ninjas, this bastard has been secretly controlling them all along, forcing them to do many unethical things by exploiting their emotional bonds, and he is still manipulating them to this day.

This guy manipulates people's hearts!

Without a doubt, if these reanimated ninjas had a list in their minds, Uehara Naraku would be the person they hated the most!

Uehara Naraku!

Uehara Naraku! Uehara Naraku!

Minato Namikaze's chakra suddenly exploded, and his golden chakra cloak swayed back and forth like a cape, a sign that his chakra was becoming unstable due to its extreme explosion!

Minato Namikaze held a kunai bearing the Flying Thunder God mark in his right hand and a jet-black Tailed Beast Ball in his left, launching the first attack on Naraku Uehara!

"Those moves are truly deadly!"

Uehara Naraku's hand suddenly shot out and grabbed Namikaze Minato's wrist, then he turned and kicked Namikaze Minato in the chest!

"Flying Thunder God!"

Minato Namikaze threw his kunai behind Naraku Uehara, and his figure instantly disappeared in front of Naraku. Using the Flying Thunder God mark kunai, he reappeared behind Naraku Uehara and turned around to slap the Tailed Beast Ball onto Naraku Uehara!

But then, a sudden change occurred!

Uehara Naraku's speed seems to be one step ahead!

The next moment, Uehara Naraku's upper body suddenly tilted back and then lowered his head. His foot swept across the sky and struck Namikaze Minato's head at an incredible angle, sending the Fourth Hokage flying!

Minato Namikaze's body flew backward, kicking up a cloud of dust. The Tailed Beast Ball in his hand also went out of control and exploded around him!

Minato Namikaze, who had been ravaging the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield with his Flying Thunder God Technique and Kurama Mode, was defeated by Naraku Uehara in a single second!

"So...so strong..."

A look of astonishment flashed across Naruto's face as he stared intently at Naraku's movements, his eyes wide with shock: "He finished off Dad with just one strike?"

"No."

Tsunade punched away Might Guy, who was rushing towards her, and shook her head, saying, "It should be said that it was only a temporary repulsion! After all, Minato is an Edo Tensei, and that brat Uehara Naraku only temporarily repelled his attack."

However, after saying that, Tsunade felt a slight sense of relief: "But this brat is indeed very strong!"

At least…

They've received a powerful ally!

In the distance, Minato Namikaze, whose Edo Tensei body had been destroyed by the Tailed Beast Ball, was regrouping. His expression had become solemn and serious. Clearly, being instantly defeated by Naraku Uehara had increased Minato's wariness of Naraku.

"Don't be careless, teacher..."

Obito Uchiha appeared beside Minato Namikaze as a space-time vortex, and whispered, "Naraku Uehara is stronger than we thought!"

"Um."

Minato Namikaze nodded, a hint of seriousness in his voice: "This guy knows the Flying Thunder God Technique very well and can keep up with my speed... then we'll have to try other methods!"

Minato Namikaze suddenly clenched his hands, his chakra expanded instantly, and his body transformed into a huge golden fox demon—his tailed beast form!

Minato Namikaze's voice emanated from within the golden fox's body, and he said in a deep voice, "Then let me test his power again!"

The next moment, the enormous nine-tailed fox charged towards Uehara Naraku;

Instead of retreating, Uehara Naraku advanced, actually heading straight towards the direction from which the golden nine-tailed fox was charging!

The enormous nine-tailed claws sliced ​​through the air, about to strike Uehara Naraku, causing everyone to involuntarily gasp!

Just the next second.

Uehara Naraku's body rose from the ground, dodging the Nine-Tails' attack, and then punched the golden Nine-Tails on the head, sending it flying!

"This guy..."

Tsunade's expression shifted slightly as she watched Uehara Naraku, who had sent the golden Nine-Tails flying with a single punch, and murmured, "Does he also possess corresponding monstrous strength?"

"No, it's purely physical combat."

The resurrected Might Guy shook his head, continuing his own battle while commenting on Uehara Naraku's fight: "During the Chunin Exams, I fought against Kitahara Naraku. His power is completely comparable to mine when I've opened the Seventh Gate!"

After saying this, Might Guy suddenly kicked Tsunade and Rock Lee back, then flew towards Uehara Naraku: "Encountering an enemy like Lord Kitahara Naraku truly makes one's blood boil!"

Might Guy's chakra suddenly erupted!

Unfortunately, the body resurrected by Edo Tensei had little blood energy, so he could only helplessly activate the Gate of Shock state and kick towards Uehara Naraku!

However, Matt Kai flew back at an even faster speed!

In his current state, he is far from being a match for Uehara Naraku.

"Thank you, Mr. Kay."

Uehara Naraku stretched out his palm towards Might Guy, and a chain flashed between the two of them. In that instant, Uehara Naraku had stolen Might Guy's secret martial arts technique using his own methods.

Many people on the battlefield have seen this move before.

Upon witnessing this, Obito Uchiha shouted a warning: "Watch out! Uehara used that ability to steal other people's techniques; he stole Might Guy's technique!"

Obito Uchiha's warning was too late.

Uehara Naraku looked at the golden Nine-Tails in the distance, suddenly stretched out his fist, and slammed it down: "Daytime Tiger!"

An air blast transformed into a white tiger, roaring as it charged toward the Nine-Tails. The power of this white tiger's air blast far exceeded that of Might Guy's Day Tiger!

The shockwave from the daytime tiger instantly engulfed everything in front of it!

No one expected that Uehara Naraku's Daytime Tiger would be far superior to Might Guy's original taijutsu technique!

The next moment, the daytime tiger suddenly bit into the golden nine-tailed tiger, sending it flying again, unable to even maintain its tailed beast transformation!

Finally, the golden Nine-Tails' chakra was completely dispersed!

Minato Namikaze stared at the scene in disbelief, a look of shock flashing across his face, which became more grim than ever before.

Kabuto Yakushi stood beside Minato Namikaze, slowly adjusted his glasses, and gazed at Naraku Uehara in the distance, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Whether it's strength, speed, or chakra, whether it's ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu, he has absolutely no weaknesses."

Kabuto gazed at Naraku Uehara and sighed softly, "Whenever we think we've overestimated him, we've actually underestimated him..."
