Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 320 Senior Jue, you only have one last chance to try and convince me (Third Update)

Early morning.

Uehara Naraku listened to Kisame Hoshigaki's report.

As a competent boss, Uehara Naraku was never stingy with his praise when his subordinates completed the task satisfactorily.

After hearing Kisame mention that he had deliberately shown his desire for the Rinnegan in front of Black Zetsu, Uehara Naraku softly praised him, "You're right. After all, not everyone can resist the temptation to rule a world with the Eye of the Moon."

At this moment, Uehara Naraku's manner of speaking was just like that of a competent boss.

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned, revealing his mouthful of shark teeth: "Just learning from Lord Uehara."

The next second, Uehara Naraku's voice suddenly turned sinister: "In your mouth, I've become a madman who has lost his mind?"

"Well…"

Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled softly and explained in a low voice, "It was just to convince Black Zetsu. Lord Uehara shouldn't mind, right?"

"It doesn't sound like it gave anything away..."

Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead and said softly, "If everything is still within my plan, then I won't hold it against you."

"Yes."

Kisame Hoshigaki responded and chuckled softly, "Then the rest of the matter will depend entirely on Lord Uehara."

"Hehe...Don't worry."

Uehara Naraku chuckled, glanced at Black Zetsu's movements on the Fate display panel, and continued, "It seems our Lord Black Zetsu is still in a great hurry. After receiving my message from you, he immediately wanted to come see me."

"How interesting!"

Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled softly, "It would be even more interesting if it knew that the master was manipulating all of this behind the scenes."

"That day will come."

Uehara Naraku shook his head and said in a low voice, "Then I'll deliberately leave it hanging for a while, let it get anxious before seeing me!"

"what?"

Kisame Hoshigaki was somewhat surprised.

Uehara Naraku shook his head, stood on the balcony, glanced back into the room, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's just that Konan-sensei is about to wake up."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku continued, "In the future, remember to give me the secret code beforehand. I don't want my teacher to know yet."

"..."

Kisame Hoshigaki paused, then grinned and said, "I understand. But if Lady Konan finds out in the future that the disciple she trained is actually the mastermind behind a world, that would be quite an interesting sight!"

"It doesn't mean anything."

Uehara Naraku frowned and put away his Den Den Mushi.

Last night, after Uehara Naraku and the Akatsuki gang finished discussing the future of the organization and gently comforted the anxious little girl, Ayaka, he stayed by Konan's side.

early morning.

The light rain was still falling.

The air in Rain Village felt fresher after the rain.

Xiao Nan sat up in bed, staring blankly into the empty room. She didn't seem to find the person she expected, and her face showed some surprise.

It wasn't until Konan's gaze shifted and she saw Uehara Naraku's figure on the balcony that the light slowly returned to her pupils, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Konan walked out of the room step by step, slowly walked to Uehara Naraku's side, stretched out her arms to wrap around his waist, and pressed her cheek tightly against his back.

"Naraku..."

"Awake? I'm here."

Uehara Naraku patted Konan's hand.

After a long while, Uehara Naraku slowly pulled away from the soft hand on his waist, turned around, looked down at Konan, and then slowly looked away.

Uehara Naraku, noticing Konan's puzzled look, sighed and said, "Let's go, let's get something to eat first. I have something I want to tell you, teacher."

A light rain was falling from the sky.

The streets of Amegakure remained quiet.

Uehara Naraku held an umbrella over Konan and said softly, "Those Akatsuki guys found out about Lord Nagato's death in battle, and they came to see me last night..."

"What?"

A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Nan's face, and her expression turned slightly unpleasant: "Did those unruly fellows give you trouble?"

Last night, Konan felt that Uehara Naraku was by her side and that the rain was quiet, so she slept very peacefully all night and was unaware of what was happening in Amegakure.

"no."

Uehara Naraku's face remained calm as he continued softly, "Sasori-senpai and Kakuzu-senpai... probably didn't want to leave Akatsuki. To them, Akatsuki was like a home where a group of strange people, incomprehensible to the ninja world, could huddle together for warmth..."

"What do they want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything..."

Uehara Naraku shifted the umbrella in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "In short, apart from Uchiha Sasuke and Yakushi Kabuto who defected, they should all stay in Akatsuki for the time being."

"I see..."

Konan frowned and then whispered, "Those rogue ninja from Konoha really are the most treacherous people in the ninja world..."

This wave can't be said to be wrong either.

Most of the rogue ninja in Konoha have little moral integrity.

Whether it's Orochimaru, Obito Uchiha, Kabuto Yakushi, Sasuke Uchiha, or Madara Uchiha, these guys all have pretty low professional ethics.

These guys have directly lowered the moral standards of the ninja world.

Uehara Naraku opened his fate display panel, which clearly showed the image of a Black Zetsu active nearby.

It seems that the Black Zetsu he's been leaving hanging is genuinely anxious.

After a pause, Uehara Naraku looked at Konan and continued softly, "I discussed it with them last night and decided to take revenge on Uchiha Obito, Yakushi Kabuto, Orochimaru and the others for the time being, and to retrieve Lord Nagato's body and Rinnegan."

At this point, Uehara Naraku narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "However, it's very difficult to find traces of Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru right now. I thought about it last night and decided to try tracking down Black Zetsu first..."

Uehara Naraku gripped the umbrella tightly and continued softly, "Black Zetsu is Obito Uchiha's spy. Today I want to go and discuss with them the capture of Black Zetsu..."

"But…"

After hesitating for a moment, Konan said in a low voice, "Although Jiraiya-sensei said that, I feel like it was Obito Uchiha deliberately leaking it... After all, we all know that Black Zetsu and Obito Uchiha have already fallen out."

"Perhaps that's possible."

After saying this, Uehara stopped and looked at Konan beside him, his face full of seriousness, and said, "However, I will never miss any way to obtain clues about Lord Nagato's remains."

"…good."

Looking at Uehara Naraku's determined expression, Konan finally nodded: "Whatever you do in the future, be careful..."

"Um."

Uehara Naraku slowly extended his palm and placed it on Konan's hair: "Yes, because I promised Nagato-sama that I would protect Konan-sensei."

At this heartwarming moment.

Suddenly, a pitcher plant slowly emerged from the ground.

Black Zetsu believed this was the perfect opportunity, especially since Konan thought it might still be on her side, at least it wouldn't be aggressive after meeting Uehara Naraku…

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu emerged from the pitcher plant.

Black Zetsu raised his head, his voice slightly hoarse, and said, "Uehara, your teacher was right just now. Don't believe those traitors' words..."

"How dare you show your face in front of me!"

Uehara Naraku clenched his fist tightly, and the next moment he stomped on the ground. Under his control, the rainwater on the ground instantly formed a circular water prison, directly enveloping Zetsu's figure!

At this moment, Uehara's anger was almost undisguised!

Just like a man who has met his mortal enemy, he is filled with rage!

Uehara Naraku slowly extended his palm, placed the umbrella in Konan's hand, and walked step by step toward Black Zetsu.

After walking to Black Zetsu's side, Uehara Naraku slightly turned his head, suppressing his anger and trying his best to keep his tone calm. He said in a low voice, "Teacher, you should go back first. I still have many questions to ask it. I don't want you to see what happens next!"

"..."

Xiao Nan hesitated and stood still.

After a while, Konan nodded gently and softly advised, "Uehara, calm down, don't let anger cloud your judgment..."

"Yes, teacher."

After hearing Konan's footsteps leave, Uehara Naraku stared at Black Zetsu, his voice cold and gloomy as he said, "Zetsu-senpai, your courage is greater than I imagined. You actually dared to appear before me under these circumstances..."

"Hehehehe..."

Hei Jue chuckled sinisterly a few times and said, "If I don't appear before you to explain, won't you never know the truth?"

"If it weren't for you!"

Uehara Naraku's hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and he said coldly, "If you hadn't leaked the information... if you hadn't insisted on recruiting Kabuto Yakushi into Akatsuki, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to ambush Lord Nagato with Obito Uchiha!"

"And regardless of the truth..."

Uehara Naraku narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing danger, like a wild beast ready to pounce at any moment: "Zetsu-senpai, tell me the locations of Uchiha Obito and Yakushi Kabuto. That shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"..."

Black Zetsu paused for a moment.

Finding the locations of Kabuto Yakushi and Obito Uchiha was really not easy for it, especially since it no longer had 100,000 White Zetsu around it.

The original intention was to cultivate White Zetsu using the Spore Technique, but ordinary people's chakra is simply not enough for the Spore Technique to absorb; only powerful ninjas have enough chakra.

Which ninja would willingly let someone absorb their chakra using the Spore Technique?

In addition, the White Zetsu dispatched recently have been disappearing from time to time...

To be honest, the job of an intelligence officer is really difficult.

Uehara Naraku frowned, staring intently at Black Zetsu. He slowly raised his finger and said coldly, "Zetsu-senpai, it seems we need to find a different way to have this talk..."

The water prison gradually solidified in the next moment!

Black Zetsu suddenly felt the pressure in the water prison. Although this pressure wouldn't pose a great threat to it, this didn't seem like a proper way to talk!

Black Zetsu spoke in a deep voice, stopping Uehara's actions: "Wait, Uehara, don't you want to revive Nagato? He's the one who protected and cared for you as you grew up..."

"..."

Uehara Naraku's expression changed slightly; he seemed somewhat tempted.

After a while, Uehara quietly lowered his fingers, his voice somewhat dejected, and said, "Senior Zetsu, you only have one last chance to try and persuade me..."

There are four more chapters to go!

I guess I'll be staying up until late at night again, everyone go to sleep early!
