Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 313 Sakumo Hatake, Minato Namikaze, and Obito Uchiha

Uehara Naraku patted Uzumaki Naruto on the shoulder, telling him that he would definitely be able to win back his friend, before bidding farewell to the people of Konoha with Konan and hurriedly returning to Amegakure.

Just as Uehara Naraku and Konan rushed back to Amegakure, his subordinate Kabuto Yakushi was hiding in a dark laboratory, with Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha standing beside him. The three of them were gathered around the experimental table.

After examining Nagato's body, Kabuto shook his head and sighed, "Lord Nagato's physical energy is nearing depletion. It seems we can only restore his body to its peak condition before performing the Impure World Reincarnation!"

"snort…"

Obito Uchiha crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "That traitor Nagato is really lucky!"

"hehe…"

Kabuto adjusted his glasses, glanced at Obito Uchiha, and chuckled, "Lord Nagato has a very good relationship with Lord Naraku and has always protected him. This is just his due reward."

Minato Namikaze gazed at Nagato's body on the experimental table and sighed, "But this reward may not be what Nagato wanted..."

Minato Namikaze and Nagato were fellow disciples.

Therefore, when Minato Namikaze saw that Nagato was willing to correct his mistakes, he admired him quite a bit. And when Nagato used his own life to revive those who died in the war, Minato Namikaze had even more respect for him.

Not everyone dares to face their own mistakes.

The only pity is that Nagato trusted the wrong person.

That Uehara Naraku is really no good!

Minato Namikaze sighed inwardly. He subconsciously began to think about what Nagato's expression would be after being resurrected by Edo Tensei... especially since all of this was being manipulated by Uehara Nara after her downfall.

Kabuto Yakushi extended his clips and slowly removed the Rinnegan from Nagato's body, examining the Rinnegan as if it were a precious treasure.

After a long while, Kabuto reluctantly put the pair of Rinnegan eyes into a small bottle. These were the legendary Rinnegan eyes; which ninja who loved scientific experiments would want to miss the opportunity to study them?

"Next up is Edo Tensei Nagato-sama."

Kabuto gazed at Nagato's body, slowly closing his hands. Obito Uchiha placed a cursing White Zetsu next to Nagato.

"Ku, here is the offering you requested."

"Thank you, Mr. Obito."

A glint flashed on Kabuto's glasses as he lowered his head and slowly began forming hand seals: "Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

A summoning incantation appeared beside Nagato, and the next moment his body turned into countless fragments and dust that enveloped the White Zetsu that had been offered as a sacrifice!

The next moment, Nagato's appearance slowly came into view.

Kabuto adjusted his glasses, smiled slightly, and politely nodded to Nagato, who had just been resurrected.

"Welcome back, Lord Nagato."

"So it was Impure World Reincarnation?"

Nagato glanced at his own body, then looked up at Kabuto Yakushi: "Looks like if you've resurrected me, who are you planning to use me against? Uehara Naraku?"

Aside from wanting to use him against Uehara Naraku, Nagato couldn't think of any other reason why Kabuto would revive him.

"How could that be?"

Kabuto smiled, narrowing his eyes. He adjusted his glasses and chuckled, "You'll find out when you meet Lord Orochimaru in the future."

"Orochimaru?"

Nagato frowned, and just as he was about to say something, his vision suddenly went black, and he involuntarily fell into a deep sleep.

Kabuto had already prepared an exquisite coffin to enshrine Nagato's Edo Tensei form: "What a pity... Lord Nagato was an extremely powerful Edo Tensei!"

"Nagato is quite good against that brat, Uehara Naraku."

Obito Uchiha snorted coldly, watching Kabuto Yakushi's actions, and said contemptuously, "Hmph, it seems Uehara still has a shred of conscience..."

"Yeah?"

With a smile, Yakushi Kabuto asked a question in return. He slowly pushed up his glasses and took out a scroll from his person.

Kabuto had Obito capture another White Zetsu.

A red light flashed in Obito Uchiha's Sharingan, and he couldn't help but ask, "Hmm? Whose corpse is in here? And who are you trying to resurrect?"

"Sakumo Hatake".

The task of reviving Hatake Sakumo was personally assigned by Uehara Naraku.

After Kakashi Hatake was resurrected, Naraku Uehara instructed Kabuto Yakushi to attempt to revive Sakumo Hatake using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. He was also very curious about this White Fang of Konoha.

"Hmph, looks like I praised you too soon."

Obito Uchiha's knuckles cracked as he coldly said, "That bastard is heartless and ruthless; he doesn't even have a heart in his body!"

"Who knows..."

A smile played on Kabuto's lips as he adjusted his glasses and continued softly, "Isn't Lord Naraku's true strength precisely his unyielding, steel-like will, which allows him to treat any enemy with ruthlessness?"

Unfortunately, only Kabuto Yakushi was a die-hard fan of Naraku Uehara in this room. No one else was willing to agree with Kabuto. Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha didn't think Naraku Uehara was a good person.

Kabuto sighed softly to himself, then clasped his hands together and began forming hand seals, unleashing the Impure World Reincarnation technique once more, successfully reviving Sakumo Hatake through Impure World.

"The resurrection using Edo Tensei actually succeeded..."

Kabuto glanced at the White Fang of Konoha who had returned from the underworld, his eyes narrowing slightly: "As expected, everything is exactly as Naraku-sama predicted..."

Kabuto Yakushi initially had some doubts.

After all, they had tried it before and failed to summon the soul of Konoha's White Fang, so they were unable to successfully perform the Impure World Reincarnation on him.

However, Uehara Naraku insisted that they dig up the corpse of Konoha's White Fang, and after Hatake Kakashi was resurrected, he ordered Yakushi Kabuto to begin the Edo Tensei of Hatake Sakumo.

Everything went as expected.

The White Fang of Konoha has indeed been successfully resurrected.

Kabuto's gaze swept over Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha, a cold smile appearing on his face: "Anyone who opposes Lord Naraku will have their soul completely under his control!"

Minato Namikaze: "..."

Obito Uchiha: "..."

Damn it, the person's not even here, so stop licking their boots!

Moreover, these words were spoken by Yakushi Kabuto, and now their souls are already being controlled by Uehara Naraku!

They are typical examples of souls being manipulated by Uehara Naraku…

"Huh? What's going on?"

After Sakumo Hatake regained consciousness, he examined his body, then turned to look at Obito Uchiha, Kabuto Yakushi, and Minato Namikaze…

I don't recognize any of these people.

Minato Namikaze looked somewhat familiar.

After all, Sakumo Hatake died too young. When he committed suicide, the oldest person here, Minato Namikaze, was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his appearance had long since changed beyond recognition...

However, when Sakumo Hatake saw that Minato Namikaze was still wearing the God's Robe and the swirling Konoha headband, his expression became complicated.

"Sir...which generation of Hokage are you?"

"This is the Fourth Hokage of Konoha."

Kabuto Yakushi stood beside Sakumo Hatake, chuckling as he introduced them, "And the Fourth Hokage was Kakashi Hatake's teacher! The gentleman standing next to him is Kakashi Hatake's teammate, Obito Uchiha!"

The several reanimated ninjas present all had inexplicable bonds with Kakashi Hatake, and they quickly started chatting, using Kakashi as a starting point.

Sakumo Hatake soon learned part of the truth.

A hint of pity flickered in Sakumo Hatake's eyes: "So, does that mean we're all dead? Kakashi will be so lonely..."

"Don't worry, you'll meet again."

Kabuto Yakushi gave a mysterious smile and gently reassured Sakumo Hatake, "And this won't take too long... I believe Mr. Kakashi will be very happy when he sees his father."

Sakumo Hatake: "..."

Minato Namikaze: "..."

Obito Uchiha: "..."

"Don't look at me like that..."

Kabuto glanced at the people present and continued with a smile, "Mr. Kakashi Hatake must really want to see his father again."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and continued softly, "If there's anyone you'd like to see, I can help revive them."

"..."

The three impure ninja fell silent.

Has that bastard Kabuto spent too much time with Uehara Naraku? Has he forgotten how to speak human language?

It's true that anyone who gets involved with Uehara Naraku will never become a good person!

"Alright, enough of this nonsense."

Kabuto looked at Minato Namikaze, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Now, Fourth Hokage, please contact Lord Naraku and report our work to him!"

"…I see."

Minato Namikaze slowly nodded.

Minato Namikaze slowly raised his finger, using his will to summon the will of Naraku Uehara.

The next moment, Uehara Naraku's voice came from Namikaze Minato's mouth, his voice was somewhat depressed: "Kabuto, Konan-sensei is not in a good mood, I have to stay with her at all times, and I can't get away for the time being."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku spoke in a somewhat indifferent tone: "So I will remotely command you. Now I have an urgent task for you to handle."

"Yes."

Yakushi Kabuto bowed his head respectfully.

Uehara Naraku spoke in a somewhat indifferent tone: "Before Konan and I return to Akatsuki's base, go and take away the Gedo Mazo and Uchiha Sasuke... and while you're at it, ask who else is willing to betray us and leave Akatsuki with you!"

It seems like a lonely dog ​​has received another 100,000 reward from the big boss!

Wow, another tip! My hands are about to give me a muscle these past few days!

Today, as planned, I will update at 7:00 AM.

I'll continue with seven more chapters tomorrow.
