Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 330 Kabuto Yakushi, I've been looking for you for a long time (Third update!)

Uehara Naraku is the strongest.

Given Uehara Naraku's background, he certainly couldn't be a supreme commander. Tsunade thought it better to give him a more suitable position and take advantage of his power to prevent him from flipping the table later.

Moreover, the enemy they are now facing is extremely powerful.

Tsunade previously believed that Uehara Naraku's power was only enough to deal with a portion of the Edo Tensei ninja, preventing the Allied Shinobi Forces from suffering greater losses.

So when Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju are resurrected with near-peak strength, the power of Naraku Uehara and the Akatsuki organization will be indispensable.

Tsunade hoped that Uehara Naraku could fight either the reanimated Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama. If Uehara Naraku could even defeat one of them, it would greatly increase their chances of winning.

As for Uehara Naraku dealing with the two of them…

Tsunade really couldn't even imagine such a thing...

Uehara Naraku didn't care what position he held in the Allied Shinobi Forces, as long as he could obtain real-time intelligence on their movements...

As a result, Tsunade proposed that he serve as the captain-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, giving him the authority to mobilize the Allied Shinobi Forces in real time on the battlefield.

This…

How come...

How could I possibly accept this!

Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow and asked, "Lady Tsunade, the Allied Forces Commander-in-Chief isn't going to send me to be cannon fodder or something, is he?"

"no."

Tsunade shook her head and explained, "Because you are the strongest, you know more about the reanimated ninjas, and you can always deploy the right ninja units to fight against the ninjas they can defeat."

Most importantly, if a crisis were to occur somewhere, as the captain-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, you would have enough power to deal with enemies whose strength is beyond comprehension…

"Is Tsunade referring to Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage?"

Uehara Naraku frowned, and his voice immediately lowered: "I don't really think I'm qualified to challenge them..."

Tsunade shook her head, looking intently at Uehara Naraku, and said, "I've seen information about the Impure World Reincarnation technique before. If it exists in the form of Impure World Reincarnation, it's a weakening factor for them..."

I disagree.

The Fourth Raikage, seeing them chatting happily, immediately wanted to voice a different opinion: "Wait, he's a member of Akatsuki, how could he possibly convince the Allied Forces!"

"But Lord Uehara is extremely powerful."

At this moment, Onoki agreed with Tsunade's suggestion. His hand slowly clenched into a fist, and his voice was somewhat gloomy as he said, "Any bit of power could increase our chances of winning, especially since Lord Uehara is a demigod ninja of the new era!"

Onoki's gaze slowly fell upon the Fourth Raikage, and he said in a deep voice, "Lord Raikage, now is not the time to dwell on past grievances. If we cannot defeat Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage, what awaits us will certainly not be good!"

"...That's right."

Mei Terumi nodded slowly.

This woman had heard of the legend of Madara Uchiha.

Almost without exception, all the ninja clans in Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) of the Land of Water had been bullied by Madara Uchiha; and later, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the ninjas of Kirigakure frequently clashed with the Uchiha clan...

This is truly a tragic love affair.

"Our next discussion will focus on selecting the supreme commander of the entire Allied Shinobi Forces, someone to direct all their operations!"

Tsunade leaned back in her chair, tapping her fingers on the table. "I hope this person won't have any objections. After all, this person is in charge of tens of thousands of ninja troops and is responsible for the safety of the entire ninja world!"

"Hmm..."

Gaara's eyes swept across the room briefly before settling on Tsunade: "It seems there's no one more suitable than Lady Tsunade, is there?"

"agree."

Mei Terumi nodded.

On this point, she stands with Gaara and Tsunade.

No matter how you look at it, Tsunade seems like a reliable ally, given the old-fashioned Third Tsuchikage Onoki and the insatiable and irrational Fourth Raikage.

"agree."

Uehara Naraku took a sip of juice.

For him, it doesn't matter who he chooses.

The Fourth Raikage naturally disagreed, immediately raising his objection: "Why Tsunade! She's a woman who doesn't keep her word!"

Furthermore, our enemy Orochimaru was once her comrade, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, just like her. That's hardly convincing!

Tsunade's face darkened instantly, and she looked at the Fourth Raikage with a dangerous gaze: "Hey, Raikage, when did I ever break my promise...?"

"Back when we agreed to meet that night, didn't you leave me standing in the cold all night?"

"..."

The gazes of the crowd gradually became subtle.

That sounds a bit like something you'd think too much about!

Tsunade reached out and touched her forehead, recalling the past when she encountered the Fourth Raikage back when she was suffering from hemophobia.

At that time, one of the Fourth Raikage's subordinates was hit by Xuanyuan's jutsu, and when the medical ninjas of Kumogakure were helpless, they happened to encounter Tsunade.

At that time, Tsunade verbally agreed to make a bet with the Fourth Raikage, but she drank all night, leaving the Fourth Raikage to be exposed to the cold wind all night... That's why the Fourth Raikage mocked Tsunade for being late when he met her in the Land of Iron.

Tsunade glanced at him helplessly, sighed, and said, "I only lied to you once, didn't I? Later, I had Shizune help you heal and save people, didn't I?"

"But…"

"Alright, alright."

Tsunade glanced at the Fourth Raikage, then suddenly curled her lips into a smile and said lightly, "If you promise to treat all the ninjas of the Allied Shinobi Forces with the same care you would have given to your former subordinate, how about I vote for you?"

"..."

The Fourth Raikage fell silent.

This is a promise from a Raikage and a man!

At this moment, Uehara Naraku casually remarked, "Actually, the Fourth Raikage is also a good choice; at least he survived my punches..."

"...Shut up!"

When the Fourth Raikage heard the first half of the sentence, he felt a little more favorably towards Uehara Naraku, but after hearing the second half, he was so angry that he flew into a rage!

The Third Tsuchikage glanced at the Fourth Raikage, A, and the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, and roughly understood that the two of them were probably the highest-ranking ninja commanders.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, said with a hint of regret, "I could also go through the trouble, after all, I once commanded tens of thousands of ninja to surround and kill... cough cough cough..."

At this point, Onoki realized that what he had said was not quite appropriate.

Because in Onoki's peripheral vision, he had already seen the furious gaze of the Fourth Raikage!

"Lord Tsuchikage, you should just admit you're young and timid!"

Uehara Naraku glanced at the Third Tsuchikage with a shifty look, and sighed softly, "You were sweating when I mentioned that Uchiha Madara might be resurrected!"

"That's Uchiha Madara!"

The Third Tsuchikage clenched his small fist and slammed it heavily on the table: "No, how could I possibly be afraid of the enemy!"

"I've heard Deidara mention it..."

"Don't listen to that bastard Deidara's nonsense!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, turned to look at Uehara Naraku, his face grim, and said, "If we form an allied ninja army, we'll bring that bastard Deidara under my command!"

"He won't like it!"

Uehara Naraku waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to agree to the request.

Deidara could never return to Iwagakure to become the Fourth Tsuchikage, no matter what. Otherwise, Uehara Naraku would have actually wanted to try placing a member of Akatsuki as the leader of a major ninja village…

Just thinking about it is exciting!

the other side.

Looking into Tsunade's earnest and solemn eyes, the Fourth Raikage extended his hand to her: "If I were to assume the position of Captain-Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, I would regard all the shinobi from every nation as my most beloved subordinates. This is a promise made by a man and by a Raikage!"

"Then please take care of me!"

Tsunade patted the Fourth Raikage's hand and smiled, "If you do anything inappropriate, I'll dismiss you anytime!"

"knew!"

The Fourth Raikage nodded solemnly.

Just as they resolved the issue of the Allied Shinobi Forces' supreme commander, a mocking laugh suddenly echoed from above, reverberating throughout the enormous room.

"I would also like to recommend someone who is most suitable to be the supreme commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Don't you think that in this world, only Lord Orochimaru, who has glimpsed the truth, is the most suitable candidate?"

"..."

Everyone present froze for a second.

The next second, all the five Kage, their guards, and even Mifune, the host from the Land of Iron, were on high alert!

Everyone knew that the enemy had definitely infiltrated!

Uehara Naraku took a slurp of his juice and slammed it down on the table, sending ice shards flying everywhere!

Uehara Naraku raised his head with a sinister expression, looking towards a corner of the room. His voice turned icy: "Yakushi Kabuto, I've been looking for you for a long time..."

There's still three watches to go...
