Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 324 Letting Go, I'm Going to Form Hand Seals…

Uehara Naraku is such a terrible person!

Orochimaru hasn't even been resurrected from Ryuchi Cave yet, but Uehara Naraku has already prepared everything for him, even arranging how Orochimaru will die.

Uehara Naraku is really meticulous in his work.

He arranged everything for Orochimaru perfectly.

Orochimaru was resurrected in Ryuchi Cave, obtained the strongest bloodline limit in the ninja world, reached the pinnacle of his life, launched the Fourth Shinobi World War, was found and defeated by the righteous Uehara Naraku, and was buried and laid to rest...

Kabuto didn't know what to say. He really couldn't imagine how devastated Orochimaru must be after his resurrection... Uehara Naraku was really going to ruin Orochimaru's life!

This is much more exciting than when they framed Shimura Danzo back then...

Kabuto Yakushi sighed helplessly and accepted Naraku Uehara's order: "Yes, Lord Naraku, I understand. I will attend the Five Kage Summit in the name of Lord Orochimaru and announce the start of a Shinobi World War..."

"Then let's see how you perform."

Uehara Naraku sounded somewhat cheerful as he chuckled and continued, "I'll be personally participating in the Five Kage Summit, so I hope you'll take good care of yourself..."

"…yes."

Kabuto nodded helplessly.

After a while, Kabuto Yakushi suddenly continued, "Lord Naraku, it seems we still have a pawn we haven't used yet, Itachi Uchiha..."

"No rush."

After pondering for a moment, Uehara Naraku continued in a low voice, "We absolutely cannot let Uchiha Itachi escape our control so easily. We need to choose a suitable opportunity to let Uchiha Itachi see Uzumaki Naruto and remove the threat of the Kotoamatsukami Sharingan..."

"Yes."

After nodding, Kabuto suddenly grinned and asked, "Should we bring Sasuke with us to the Five Kage Summit this time?"

"What are you taking him to do? To kill him?"

Uehara Naraku didn't quite understand what Yakushi Kabuto meant. He would casually praise Uchiha Sasuke in front of anyone. Could it be that even Yakushi Kabuto thought Sasuke was that powerful?

Is he out of his mind?

Sasuke Uchiha going to the Five Kage Summit was just suicide!

Kabuto sighed, adjusted his glasses, and chuckled softly, "Then let Sasuke guard the Eight-Tails here! What a pitiful little guy, he still thinks Lord Naraku is Itachi's friend, and he still misses Lord Naraku's kindness to him..."

After saying this, Kabuto continued with a laugh, "I have no doubt that once I replace Sasuke's eyes with Itachi's, he'll immediately kill me and hand my head over to Lord Naraku!"

"..."

Uehara Naraku fell into deep thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then let's leave Sasuke here for now! I need to think about how to use this..."

I really didn't expect that.

The story that Uehara Naraku fabricated back then made Uchiha Sasuke completely accept him as Uchiha Itachi's friend, which is truly outrageous.

"…Um."

Kabuto nodded with a strange expression.

Inside Rain Hidden Village.

Uehara Naraku quietly lowered his fingers.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Five Kage Summit he's going to participate in this time is destined to be very exciting. It's a pity that the Fifth and a Half Hokage, Danzo Shimura, is missing.

It's really a bit of a shame...

Xiao Nan also packed their luggage, sealing everything they needed to take into a scroll. She believed that the Five Kage Summit would definitely be held for quite some time.

"Are you ready?"

Uehara Naraku glanced at Konan as she walked out of the room, a smile appearing on his face: "It seems like it's been a long time since I went on a mission with Konan-sensei..."

"Um."

Konan nodded, brushed her hair aside, reached out and took Uehara Naraku's hand, and whispered, "Let's go!"

"...I need to form a hand seal."

Uehara Naraku glanced innocently at Konan, and only after she released her hand did he slowly close it to form a summoning hand seal.

The next moment, the roar of an ancient dragon came from the sky, and the huge ancient dragon hovered above the reinforced concrete village of Amegakure!

After the two boarded the ancient dragon, the enormous summoned beast flapped its wings and soared into the sky towards the Land of Iron!

The Land of Iron.

This is the most famous neutral country in the ninja world.

Long ago, long ago, the ninjas publicly stated that they would not wage war against the Land of Iron, but would instead regard the Land of Iron as a permanently neutral and peaceful nation.

There are no ninjas in this country.

The armed forces within the Land of Iron consist of a group of samurai capable of fighting ninjas.

Most of these samurai could also use chakra to unleash powerful sword techniques, and their strength was considerable, which is why they were qualified to remain neutral.

The leader of the samurai was named Mifune.

It is said that Mifune, the leader of the village, once fought against Hanzo of the Salamander in Amegakure, but was defeated by Hanzo's swordsmanship and poison. However, Hanzo thought Mifune was a promising talent, so he spared his life.

The capital of the Iron Country is on high alert lately.

Since the Five Kage Summit is about to begin here, Mifune, as the host, is naturally responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the summit. Therefore, he sent many samurai to guard the area in advance to prevent any trouble from happening.

The first person to arrive in the Land of Iron was Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. Unsurprisingly, she was there to attend the Five Kage Summit, and her bodyguards were Jiraiya and Shizune.

Protecting Tsunade was also Jiraiya's promise.

Furthermore, Jiraiya was one of the people who knew Orochimaru best, and he was very clear about information about Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi, and Obito Uchiha; in addition, Jiraiya had a close relationship with Amegakure.

Therefore, Jiraiya was the most suitable person to come.

As for Shizune, she's mainly an extra, responsible for taking care of Tsunade, and also reminding the Fifth Hokage of Konoha to be mindful of his moral standards.

After all, the Land of Iron is not a place like Konoha. If Tsunade were to lose face at the Five Kage Summit, that would be terrible...

Mute is overthinking it.

During the first Five Kage Summit, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, performed terribly, bringing shame to Konoha. The God of Shinobi, for the sake of so-called peace, even humbled himself before the leaders of other countries, adopting a very low attitude.

I'll kowtow to you all, and that'll be the end of it.

How could such words come out of the mouth of someone like Hashirama Senju!

Even now, Tsunade would never do such a thing. She is strong-willed and cares a lot about her reputation. However, Tsunade doesn't particularly care about other people's reputation.

On her way to the Land of Iron, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade pondered a question: how to mediate the conflict between Amegakure and other major powers. She wanted to wait until Uehara Naraku arrived so she could persuade him to lower his stance.

For example, she could have Uehara Naraku kowtow to all the Kage present, adopting an extremely humble posture, and then smooth things over, and the matter would be considered closed for the time being...

Even Naruto Uzumaki, who was still in Konoha, thought the same way.

Because Sasuke Uchiha had also participated in the invasion of three major ninja villages, Naruto Uzumaki wanted them to forgive Sasuke and also planned to kowtow to those Kage...

This is absolutely ridiculous!

The second person to arrive was Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure. His bodyguards were his older brother Kankuro and older sister Temari. This was because Sunagakure had no one else to deal with the situation.

The third person to arrive was Mei Terumi from Kirigakure. She only brought one of her favorite young talents, Chojuro, and an Anbu member. Kirigakure's lack of successors had reached its peak, and in terms of future geniuses, it was even inferior to Sunagakure.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Because all the genius ninjas in their village had joined Uehara Naraku, and all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were now in the Akatsuki organization.

Mei Terumi came to the Five Kage Summit hoping to resolve this matter, at least by getting Uehara Naraku to hand over the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who had defected. If that wasn't possible, she could also get him to hand over the swords with special abilities.

Sunagakure and Kirigakure have been allies of Konoha for many years, so Tsunade and Mifune came together to welcome them and, incidentally, to exchange information and hopefully ensure that the three great ninja villages would stand together at the Five Kage Summit.

Tsunade crossed her arms and lowered her voice, saying, "The most important thing about convening this Five Kage Summit is to unite and resolve the threat posed by Orochimaru and his group. We can make concessions to them when appropriate, but we will never be without limits..."

"Yes, the safety of the ninja world is the most important thing."

Gaara nodded and then said in a low voice, "As long as the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage don't go too far..."

"As long as it doesn't harm the interests of Kirigakure, I don't care."

Mei Terumi sighed and said softly, "I only hope that Amegakure and Akatsuki can be given the punishment they deserve, and that we can recoup our losses..."

"..."

Tsunade immediately frowned.

Mei's opinion isn't entirely wrong. After all, Amegakure and Akatsuki have done so many wrong things, can't they just leave Akatsuki unpunished?

The key issue is...

Amegakure and Akatsuki are not the defeated!

Strictly speaking, this so-called victory was actually a handout from Amegakure and Akatsuki. The strength of those S-rank rogue ninjas in Akatsuki is not weak... If we push Uehara Naraku and the others too far, wouldn't we just have another enemy?

With Orochimaru still coveting the Tailed Beasts, Uehara Naraku's power, capable of rivaling or even overwhelming any major ninja village, once again became their enemy...

What's the point of fighting then?

"Lord Mizukage, I understand what you mean."

Tsunade shook her head gently and said softly, "I will try my best to persuade Uehara Naraku to make concessions for the crisis we need to deal with next... but that doesn't mean we can make him back down again and again. Sometimes we need to compromise on both sides."

"Of course I understand."

Mei Terumi touched her red lips with her fingers and whispered, "Even if we were willing to let them go, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure and the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure wouldn't easily let Akatsuki and Uehara Naraku go, would they?"

In front of the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage, Uehara Naraku captured the tailed beasts from their villages, causing heavy casualties in both villages and directly destroying Kumogakure and Iwagakure!

How could that stubborn old man, the Third Tsuchikage, and that hot-tempered guy, the Fourth Raikage, possibly let Uehara Naraku go?

"well…"

Tsunade sighed, her eyes darkening slightly as she looked at the figures floating overhead. "I hope they understand! That brat Uehara isn't some war criminal to be trifled with. He now commands a force that can change the course of events!"

There will be three or four more watches...

A new climax is finally about to begin!

I've fallen asleep again... I guess I won't be sleepy tonight...
