Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Is Chapter 308 finally over? (Third update)

The light from Dust Release arrived first!

However, this beam of light, powerful enough to split anyone into atoms, did not cause Uehara Naraku's body to split in the slightest when it fell upon him!

No, it's not that there wasn't a division.

Uehara Naraku extended his palm, and an even more dazzling white light emanated from it, directly shattering the Dust Release white light that had pierced through the Second Tsuchikage Mu, and pulverizing the Second Tsuchikage's impure earth body!

The next moment, Uehara Naraku kicked the charging white daytime tiger into thin air, and then turned around and punched the sand sand controlled by Rasa into a blast!

In an instant, this deadly attack that could threaten anyone was neutralized by Uehara Naraku. The speed at which Uehara Naraku resolved the crisis was so fast that even Yakushi Kabuto, the instigator, was somewhat shocked!

"He stole Dust Release using his own technique?"

Kabuto Yakushi's eyes were fixed on Uehara Naraku's every move. After shaking his head, he muttered to himself, "No, it wasn't the Dust Release he stole, because I didn't see him use the ability to steal the technique at all. That means..."

Kabuto's expression suddenly relaxed. He looked at Uehara Naraku with a cryptic smile: "So... it was I who synthesized Dust Release Kekkei Yokai using wind, earth, and fire chakra?"

Kabuto Yakushi took another slow breath, watching Uehara Naraku fight Might Guy with an air of nonchalance, and said in a low voice, "Not only that, but he also directly used his taijutsu to defeat Mr. Guy's Daytime Tiger... Compared to that, defeating the Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release: Gold Sand with one punch is really not worth mentioning."

"clever."

After praising Kabuto Yakushi, Uehara Naraku grabbed Might Guy by the throat and slammed him towards Rasa, sending both of them flying backward!

The next moment, Uehara Naraku rushed towards Yakushi Kabuto without hesitation!

"Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth!"

Without hesitation, Kabuto Yakushi clasped his hands together and formed a hand seal!

Suddenly, stone walls appeared on the ground, with tiny sharp spikes emerging from their surfaces to block Uehara Naraku's charge and even surround him!

However, the next moment, Uehara Naraku smashed the stone wall in front of him with a punch and charged towards Yakushi Kabuto's position again!

"That's way too determined!"

Kabuto gritted his teeth and spat a beam of white light at Uehara Naraku: "Sage Art: White Rage Technique!"

The light was so dazzling that it made people involuntarily close their eyes!

Suddenly, a vibration came from the air, and the vibration grew stronger and stronger, even rubbing against the bones!

Uehara Naraku ignored all the damage from the White Rage Technique and rushed to Yakushi Kabuto's side, rubbing his wrist: "You've gotten stronger! Your technique can actually hurt my body, Kabuto, I haven't been injured in a long time..."

"..."

Kabuto's expression changed.

Even though you're the boss, is this even human language?

This is a magical technique that he has painstakingly cultivated. Even the White Snake Immortal once praised it as a technique that brings the art of sound ninjutsu to its ultimate level!

Kabuto Yakushi sighed softly, gazing at Uehara Naraku standing before him. This ninja, arguably the strongest in taijutsu, stood only a few centimeters away…

What else can be said at this point?

Kabuto extended his finger and gently pushed up his glasses, whispering, "Could you be a little gentler? Don't break my glasses, after all, they were left to me by the headmaster..."

"certainly."

Uehara Naraku suddenly punched Yakushi Kabuto in the stomach!

Kabuto felt a tremendous force spreading outward from his lower abdomen, and a mouthful of blood involuntarily spurted from his mouth!

This attack was so powerful that even Sage Mode couldn't withstand it!

The next moment, Kabuto Yakushi's figure was involuntarily sent flying backward, his body drawing an arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"That's fine."

Uehara Naraku glanced at his system panel and finally breathed a sigh of relief. His gains in Konoha this time were substantial, enough to give him sufficient strength to deal with what the future held.

Side Quest: Defeat the Sage Mode in Ryuchi Cave (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: Advance to the Divine Rank in Sage Mode.

Sage Mode Ascension to Godhood: When the values ​​of natural energy and chakra are consistent, a new battle mode can be entered by synthesizing Sage Chakra. Currently, it is the fourth stage of Ascension to Godhood, Transcendence (the ultimate form).

Sage Mode (Ultimate Form): Chakra is automatically converted into Sage Chakra, all skill cooldowns are reduced by 100%, life energy is increased by 1000%, life energy recovery effect is increased by 1000%, Sage Chakra energy recovery effect is increased by 1000%, and skill consumption is reduced by 70% when using Sage Chakra to release skills.

Note: When using physical attacks in Sage Mode, the damage will be accompanied by a flame wave attack, which will deal true damage to the enemy that is absolutely impossible to defend against.

Is this the ultimate form of Sage Mode?

Uehara Naraku slowly breathed a sigh of relief. With his life energy and various recovery effects increased tenfold, he should be able to face enemies at the Six Paths level now, right?

At least in terms of physical skills, they shouldn't be at too much of a disadvantage...

Of course, Uehara Naraku had another trump card up his sleeve.

Because he defeated the golden Nine-Tails after Uehara Naraku appeared, he obtained the last component of the Truth-Seeking Ball.

Side Quest: Defeat Yin Jiuwei (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: Passive Talent Skill Yin Power.

Yin Power: Allows free manipulation of Yin-attribute chakra, enabling the creation and use of Yin Release ninjutsu at will, creating something from nothing and turning the illusory into the real. It is one of the components of Truth-Seeking Balls.

Yin-Yang Release (Activated): Allows free manipulation of Yin and Yang power to create all things from nothing and give them life. It can also be used to restrict the flow of an enemy's chakra and life force.

Truth-Seeking Ball (Activated): A technique based on Yin-Yang Release, combined with all-attribute chakra power and Sage Chakra. It can destroy and block ninjutsu techniques. Anyone who does not possess the power of the Six Paths will be reduced to nothingness upon touching it.

Only ninjas with the power of the Six Paths can touch Truth-Seeking Balls. The generation of each Truth-Seeking Ball consumes 100000 points of Sage Chakra. There is no cooldown time for the skill, and a maximum of six can exist at the same time.

It takes 100,000 points of Sage Chakra to generate one Truth-Seeking Ball…

If it were just chakra, it would be easier to recover, since there are ways to do so. However, the extraction of natural energy is fixed, and the synthesis and extraction of Sage Chakra is limited, so one can only rely on their own recovery speed.

Based on Uehara Naraku's current chakra reserves, he can only barely condense four Truth-Seeking Balls, which is unavoidable...

However, after Uehara Naraku activated Sage Mode, his Sage Chakra recovery rate was about 2,000 points per second, and he could condense a Truth-Seeking Ball in less than a minute.

The next moment, Uehara Naraku raised his finger, manipulating Uchiha Obito to appear next to Yakushi Kabuto, and whispered, "Next, we'll have a life-or-death battle, and then you can retreat..."

"..."

Kabuto looked up speechlessly.

He was defeated with a single punch!

What else can be done to turn this into a life-or-death battle?

"alright."

Uehara Naraku still held up his finger and continued speaking in a low voice using Uchiha Obito's body: "Don't worry about it, I guess Lord Nagato will definitely use the Rinne Reincarnation."

"Let's have another big battle and find a way to keep Matt Kai here. Then you can use your serious injuries as an excuse to retreat first."

Nagato's release of reincarnation is almost certain.

Because according to Uehara Naraku's plan, Nagato is now definitely planning to make amends for his mistakes with his own life, especially since Jiraiya died at his hands...

fair enough.

Let Nagato repay the debt of gratitude he owed with his own life.

After Nagato's death, Uehara Naraku will have to start preparing to face an even stronger enemy.

Now that Uehara Naraku has obtained both the Truth-Seeking Balls and the final form of Sage Mode, his strength is almost at its limit. It's time to revive Orochimaru.

Furthermore, Uehara would personally manipulate Orochimaru to become the first Six Paths level ninja, and then try to beat Orochimaru half to death to complete his own advancement mission...

Orochimaru always wanted to be a coward for life in order to achieve immortality, which is so unbecoming of the legendary Sannin of Konoha!

It would be better to let him be a hero for a while, have his fun, and then die.

"…yes."

Faced with Uehara Naraku's order, Yakushi Kabuto had no choice but to agree.

Uehara Naraku looked at Yakushi Kabuto and continued softly, "After Lord Nagato casts the Rinne Reincarnation, I will send Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Obito to reappear and take away Lord Nagato's body. After you take out the Rinnegan, please help me preserve his body, or you can help me perform the Impure World Reincarnation."

"Once Orochimaru obtains the Rinnegan, I'll try to trick Black Zetsu into helping me, and see if I can get Orochimaru to revive Nagato along with Madara Uchiha."

"…clear."

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses.

This boss's arrangements are really well-organized!

If you calculate it this way, it seems like there are no flaws at all, but I feel a little sorry for Lord Orochimaru.

Orochimaru hasn't been resurrected yet...

Uehara Naraku had already arranged how he would die.

"We can begin."

Uehara Naraku slowly loosened his fingers, then clenched his fist again, and the chakra around his body gradually began to surge violently!

The next moment, countless resurrected Edo Tensei ninjas swarmed towards Uehara Naraku!

Everyone on the battlefield saw Uehara Naraku dashing left and right, constantly dodging the spells and attacks flying from all directions, and still trying his best to hold on despite being surrounded by a group of reanimated enemies!

No, or rather, he's still looking for an opportunity to retaliate!

"I'll go help Uehara!"

Naruto Uzumaki re-entered Nine-Tails Mode and was about to rush to the center of the battlefield to fight alongside Naraku Uehara, as he was the only one among those present who recovered the fastest and showed no signs of fatigue.

"Wait, Naruto..."

After coughing a few times, Nagato reconstituted a Yin-Yang Release black rod and handed it to Naruto: "Take this; it might be of some help..."

"good!"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded, took the black rod handed to him by Nagato, and immediately flew into the direction of the battlefield. Naruto's appearance also created an opportunity for Kabuto Yakushi and Naraku Uehara's plan.

Under Kabuto Yakushi's control, the reanimated Might Guy charged towards Naruto Uzumaki, and the two clashed head-on!

"Super large jade rasengan!"

Naruto Uzumaki manipulated his chakra to create a giant Rasengan that defeated Might Guy, and then stabbed the black rod in his hand into Might Guy's body!

At the same time, Uehara Naraku also opened a breach.

Uehara Naraku's figure almost smashed through all the defenses head-on, slamming a punch into Yakushi Kabuto: "Dare to betray Akatsuki, you will pay the price you deserve..."

Kabuto Yakushi: "..."

The next moment, just as Uehara Naraku was about to continue his attack and kill Yakushi Kabuto, Uchiha Obito appeared beside Yakushi Kabuto!

A spacetime vortex suddenly appeared, pulling Kabuto Yakushi into his Kamui dimension and saving his life!

"Retreat completely."

Obito Uchiha coldly swept his gaze across everyone around him, then glanced at Naraku Uehara and Naruto Uzumaki, and said in a chilling voice, "Naruto Uzumaki, Naraku Uehara, you won't be so lucky next time... Next time I'll make you see the most terrifying enemy in the world!"

A red glint flashed in Obito Uchiha's Sharingan: "When you witness true power, you will see the vast differences in this world, like the moon in the sky and a stone on the ground..."

"Next time..."

Naruto's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "Next time, it'll be Madara Uchiha, standing behind you, making his move!"

Naruto Uzumaki already knew.

Behind Obito Uchiha was Madara Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha didn't answer, but only sneered, "Hmph, I only said there would be a next time. As for you, you won't have a next chance yet; that depends on your own luck!"

As soon as Obito Uchiha finished speaking...

Minato Namikaze suddenly threw a black and purple Tailed Beast Ball towards Naruto Uzumaki!

"Be careful!"

Uehara Naraku instantly appeared in front of Uzumaki Naruto and smashed the Tailed Beast Ball away with a punch, watching as the Tailed Beast Ball exploded in the distance, kicking up a cloud of dust!

By the time they came to their senses, all the other reanimated ninja on the battlefield had already vanished, led by Obito Uchiha…

No, there's one more.

That was Might Guy, who had been constantly suppressed by Naruto Uzumaki using black rods.

"Phew... Is it finally over?"

After surveying the battlefield, Uehara Naraku breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if all his strength had been drained, and was about to collapse to the ground.

Naruto Uzumaki quickly reached out and supported Naraku Uehara, hurriedly saying, "Hey, Uehara, are you alright? Those guys have already left..."

"fine."

Uehara Naraku shook his head.

There will be two or three more updates...
