Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 332 In the name of Lord Orochimaru, I declare war on this world!

Surrender is out of the question.

No one expected Orochimaru's purpose to be so terrifying.

Orochimaru's patience and forbearance were so profound in order to achieve this goal.

He has always acted like an evil ninja who would stop at nothing to achieve immortality, using the Reanimation Jutsu to change bodies and obtain a false sense of immortality.

Who could have imagined that while the Akatsuki were busy collecting tailed beasts and active in the ninja world, Orochimaru had quietly accomplished such a grand plan!

Orochimaru wants to become the new Sage of Six Paths!

Orochimaru wants to achieve true immortality!

Orochimaru wants to rule the entire ninja world forever, taking whatever he wants from it!

After a long time, the people present gradually digested all the news they had heard, and the shock in everyone's hearts did not subside for a long time.

Even Uehara Naraku, the strongest person present, showed a grave expression after hearing Yakushi Kabuto's words: "Orochimaru... he's even bolder than I imagined!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Jiraiya spoke with a grim expression: "Orochimaru has always been incredibly audacious; he would definitely dare to do something like a snake trying to swallow an elephant... I just didn't expect that he would actually want to become the Sage of Six Paths."

"That guy was already on a forbidden path."

Tsunade shook her head and sighed softly, "Did he really find the most terrifying path in that forbidden land destined for darkness?"

At this moment, Orochimaru's two friends were somewhat moved.

They truly never imagined that Orochimaru, who had always seemed so short-sighted, would do something this time that would take them completely by surprise!

"hehe…"

Kabuto Yakushi spread his palms and sneered, "When it comes to vision, there's no one in the entire ninja world who can compare to Lord Orochimaru..."

While you people are still discussing so-called weapons, Orochimaru has already grasped the true essence of this world.

A look of fascination flashed across Kabuto's face as he exclaimed in admiration, "Lord Orochimaru once said that he would master all the ninjutsu in the world, and at that time I believed that Lord Orochimaru could definitely do it..."

Lord Orochimaru has already achieved this. Once he becomes the Sage of Six Paths, he will be able to master all chakra nature transformations and easily grasp everything and the truth of this world.

Mastering all the ninjutsu in the world was indeed Orochimaru's dream.

As Orochimaru's former teammates, Tsunade and Jiraiya were well aware of this matter, and they never expected that Orochimaru would actually do it!

"That Orochimaru guy..."

Jiraiya couldn't help but grit his teeth. His gaze slowly settled on Tsunade, clearly recalling the conversation about dreams that the Legendary Sannin of Konoha had when they were young.

Now, it seems that all three of their dreams are about to come true.

Tsunade traveled all over the ninja world and saw all its beautiful scenery;

Jiraiya has finally been able to stay by her side and protect Tsunade, just as he wished.

Orochimaru also aspires to become the omnipotent Sage of Six Paths.

Unfortunately, they are destined to go their separate ways and will soon engage in a fierce battle as the leaders and high-ranking officials of two opposing camps!

When the two of them get a little sentimental, the others just can't stand it!

The Fourth Raikage's temper flared instantly, and his Lightning Release chakra mode activated immediately: "You rats hiding in the gutter, you think you can rule the ninja world? Let me see what you're made of!"

The Fourth Raikage's body instantly turned into a blur!

The Fourth Raikage instantly appeared next to Kabuto Yakushi and slammed his arm down on Kabuto's head!

A golden arm blocked the Fourth Raikage's attack!

Minato Namikaze instantly switched to Kurama Mode, standing beside the Fourth Raikage, his arm tightly gripping the Fourth Raikage's shoulder: "Long time no see, A. Your speed has become even faster than before..."

"Hmph, you're still as quick as ever!"

The Fourth Raikage's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Minato Namikaze beside him, his expression darkening. "You said you'd fight him as a Kage back then, isn't it still possible now?"

During the Third Shinobi World War, Minato Namikaze single-handedly defeated the Fourth Raikage A and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, leaving behind a message that he hoped they could meet again in the future as leaders of their respective villages.

Sadly, they soon passed away.

Now that they've met again here, the Fourth Raikage naturally wouldn't want to miss this opportunity, as he has become incredibly strong!

The activation of cells in Lightning Release Chakra Mode allows the Fourth Raikage to possess unimaginable power and speed, making it difficult even for the Sharingan to detect his presence!

For example, Obito Uchiha, who was standing behind Kabuto Yakushi, was startled by the speed of the Fourth Raikage, A: "No wonder Sasuke has always been resentful of the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki we captured. The speed of Lightning Release ninjutsu and taijutsu is truly not to be underestimated..."

"More alive than...?"

The Fourth Raikage's gaze sharpened slightly.

He heard some fairly good news.

Kabuto nodded and smiled casually, "He was still alive when we came here, but I don't know about now... But your brother is indeed impressive. He's a Jinchuriki who perfectly masters power, just like the current Fourth Hokage."

After saying that, Kabuto Yakushi waved his hand and said, "Fourth Hokage, please take care of this Fourth Raikage quickly. I still have a lot to say!"

"…yes."

Minato Namikaze's gaze swept briefly over everyone present, lingering on Naraku Uehara for a second. He too caught the warning look in Naraku's eyes…

The next moment, Minato Namikaze's arm suddenly swept the Fourth Raikage down, slamming him to the ground!

His strength and speed are in no way inferior to that of the Raikage!

Just then, a giant chakra hand emerged from behind Minato Namikaze, manipulating a Rasengan to strike the Fourth Raikage!

At this critical moment, someone kicked Minato Namikaze away!

"Hey, I said..."

Uehara Naraku frowned, looking at Namikaze Minato whom he had kicked away, and said coldly, "Don't you guys take me too lightly?!"

After saying that, Uehara Naraku reached out and grabbed the Fourth Raikage's arm, pulling him up: "If you can't beat them, don't be so arrogant. You are the commander of our Allied Shinobi Forces. Aren't you disgracing our Allied Shinobi Forces?"

At first glance, Uehara Naraku seems quite loyal to the Allied Shinobi Forces, which is quite in line with his status, after all, he is now the captain-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces!

"asshole!"

The Fourth Raikage glared angrily, his eyes wide. If Uehara Naraku hadn't just saved him, the Fourth Raikage would have really wanted to fight him.

However, the Raikage suppressed his anger again and said irritably, "Hmph, thank you!"

"Why are you being so polite with me!"

Uehara Naraku waved his hand dismissively.

Minato Namikaze watched this scene from afar, letting out a soft sigh. Another group of people being manipulated by Naraku Uehara…

They believed they had seen Uehara Naraku, the leader of Akatsuki, the culprit who had collected the tailed beasts and destroyed the great ninja villages, and the reformed Sin of Amegakure…

In fact, this guy has never revealed his true identity!

Minato Namikaze really wished that everyone present could wake up at this moment, because the person who was about to bring a catastrophe to the ninja world was none other than Uehara Naraku, whom they had begun to trust again!

What?! Orochimaru became the Sage of Six Paths?!

All of this was orchestrated by Uehara Naraku!

Unfortunately, no one was able to wake up.

Under the control of Uehara Naraku's will, Minato Namikaze could not make any further noise and could only stand by Kabuto Yakushi's side once again.

"As expected of the next leader personally chosen by Nagato..."

After watching Minato Namikaze being easily defeated by Naraku Uehara, Kabuto clapped his hands and exclaimed in admiration, "Lord Naraku Uehara's strength is still as astonishing!"

After praising him, Kabuto adjusted his glasses and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "However, we have prepared an even more powerful enemy for you..."

I really want to see who is stronger, the strongest ninja of the last era or the strongest ninja of this era…

It's clear that Kabuto Yakushi was referring to Hashirama Senju.

It seems that Hashirama Senju will indeed be resurrected at his peak strength.

"No need for further nonsense."

Uehara Naraku surveyed the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I believe no one here will submit to Orochimaru, that despicable man who only hides behind the scenes, right?"

"..."

Kabuto Yakushi remained strangely silent for a second.

The Kage of the five great nations and everyone present naturally didn't care what Kabuto Yakushi was thinking; they quickly and emotionally expressed their stance.

"Uehara is right!"

Tsunade, her face grim, said, "Kabuto Yakushi, no one will submit to someone who wants to rule the ninja world through evil means!"

"good!"

The Fourth Raikage looked up at Kabuto Yakushi and coldly cursed, "Sooner or later, I'll twist Orochimaru's head off!"

The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, nodded and looked at Kabuto Yakushi, saying, "Those who instigate wars will never win the hearts of the people."

Mei Terumi looked at Kabuto Yakushi and made her stance clear: "It's quite unfortunate, Kirigakure never learns to give in..."

"If you want us to submit..."

The Third Tsuchikage gritted his teeth, looked at Kabuto Yakushi, and said, word by word, "Then come and take our lives first!"

"Looks like my invitation failed!"

Kabuto sighed and said softly, "I originally wanted to welcome Lord Orochimaru to the world peacefully, but it seems everyone is forcing me to use war?"

Kabuto slowly adjusted his glasses, his gaze turning serious as he looked at everyone: "Then... let the Fourth Shinobi World War begin here!"

Kabuto's chilling voice echoed through the room: "In the name of Lord Orochimaru, I declare war on this foolish and ignorant ninja world!"
