Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 342 Killer Bee's Stolen Information (Fourth Update)

Orochimaru, the enemy, is already in position.

On his way to Akatsuki's base, Uehara Naraku was still inwardly criticizing Kabuto Yakushi for forcing Orochimaru into his position. "That Kabuto Yakushi is really no good person..."

Uehara Naraku was worried about how Yakushi Kabuto would gain Orochimaru's trust. He originally thought that Yakushi Kabuto would cry and play the victim, or throw dirty water on other people.

The only thing they didn't expect was that Kabuto, this bespectacled, refined man, would use his actions to prove to Orochimaru that all his escape routes had been cut off.

Only by becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki can one turn the tide.

Any other option would only lead to certain death.

Even if Orochimaru wanted to return to Ryuchi Cave and become a harmless Yamata no Orochi, he wouldn't have the chance, because Kabuto Yakushi said that Naraku Uehara would definitely hunt him down.

Even if Orochimaru wanted to hide in the ninja world, it wouldn't be of any use, because all the sensory ninjas in the ninja world were gathered together to search for his whereabouts, and if he did hide, Kabuto Yakushi would betray him directly.

Really...

Can't Kabuto Yakushi just be a decent human being?

The base of the Akatsuki organization.

After silently criticizing Kabuto Yakushi, Uehara Naraku appeared at the organization's base, where all the members of Akatsuki had already gathered.

A row of S-rank rogue ninjas draped in black robes adorned with auspicious cloud patterns.

If this lineup were to join the Allied Shinobi Forces, I really don't know whether those ninjas are more afraid of Orochimaru or the Akatsuki organization...

It's really hard to say.

To be honest, Uehara Naraku was a little worried about this problem. After all, Hidan was a troublemaker and needed to be kept in close watch... and Deidara was also a simple-minded problem child.

The Akatsuki's regular mount is Uehara Naraku's ancient dragon, and they move very quickly, so they don't delay the Allied Shinobi Forces' assembly time.

On the way to the Allied Shinobi Forces' assembly point, Uehara Naraku did not forget to pass on a message to Yakushi Kabuto. After Yakushi Kabuto and Orochimaru finished extracting the Eight-Tails' chakra from Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, he asked Killer Bee to bring back some information.

Inside a cave thousands of miles away.

Orochimaru clasped his hands together and manipulated the Gedo Mazo to spit out a chain, pulling the tailed beast out of Killer Bee's body.

No matter how much the Eight-Tails resisted, it could not withstand the power of the Gedo Mazo. However, before the Eight-Tails was extracted from Killer Bee's body, it left a tentacle tail inside Killer Bee's body. This was the last chakra it left for Killer Bee.

That amount of chakra was only enough to keep Killer Bee alive.

Unfortunately, they were in enemy territory, and whether Killer Bee could survive clearly depended on his own luck.

"This method of extracting chakra is faster than Akatsuki's!"

After Kabuto Yakushi sighed in admiration, he waved for Minato Namikaze to take Killer Bee away: "Fourth Hokage, please take the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki out for me. Put him with the White Zetsu sacrifice materials. After he dies, I will resurrect him using Edo Tensei."

"..."

Minato Namikaze nodded without saying a word.

When Minato Namikaze came out with Killer Bee, they happened to run into Obito Uchiha, who suddenly called out to Minato.

"teacher."

Obito Uchiha glanced at Killer Bee in Minato Namikaze's hand and asked curiously, "Isn't it said that the Jinchuriki dies after the Tailed Beast is extracted? This guy doesn't seem to be dead yet?"

"..."

A bead of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Killer Bee's forehead.

Minato Namikaze shook his head and explained softly, "The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is different from other Jinchuriki; he should also have abundant Tailed Beast chakra. He'll probably die a little longer from the extraction of his Jinchuriki..."

"Oh, then we might as well just kill him."

A red light flashed in Obito Uchiha's Sharingan as he stretched out his hand to grab Killer Bee: "That way, he can leave more easily!"

"Obito!"

Minato Namikaze grabbed Obito Uchiha's arm and said in a deep voice, "Everyone sees the truth of their life when they're about to die. I think we should let Killer Bee think about it a little longer before he dies!"

After saying that, Minato Namikaze suddenly asked, "Why did you suddenly come back? Weren't you supposed to be assassinating Uehara Naraku with the reanimated First Hokage?"

"It failed."

Obito Uchiha shook his head, his voice heavy with emotion: "I had lured him to the perfect spot, but unfortunately, the First Hokage was no match for him."

Just how strong can that guy be? Even the near-peak God of Ninjas wasn't his match. The First Hokage was almost sealed away by that bastard…”

"How is this possible?"

A look of surprise flashed across Minato Namikaze's face.

Obito Uchiha stroked his mask, his voice somber, and said, "After all, the Impure World Reincarnation does weaken the First Hokage's strength to some extent."

"Well, since we can't weaken the Allied Shinobi Forces by killing their strongest members right now, we'll just have to wait until the big war starts and then figure something out."

"..."

Minato Namikaze remained silent for a while without answering.

After a while, Minato Namikaze seemed to have thought of something. He quickly shook his head and said, "Never mind, I'll go throw the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki out first!"

"Um."

After nodding, Obito Uchiha suddenly said, "By the way, teacher, although you gave up the Yin Nine-Tails within you, we will not let go of the Yang Nine-Tails chakra within Naruto."

"..."

Minato Namikaze stopped in his tracks.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze strode out again, carrying Killer Bee, seemingly unaffected by Obito Uchiha's words.

After Minato Namikaze came out carrying Killer Bee.

After cautiously surveying his surroundings, the Fourth Hokage bent down and knelt in front of Killer Bee: "Hey, Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, I know you're still alive!"

"..."

Kirabi lay on the ground without making a sound.

Minato Namikaze glanced speechlessly at Killer Bee, who was feigning death, and lowered his voice, saying, "I am also a perfect Jinchuriki who can communicate with the Tailed Beast within me. I know very well that in this situation, the Eight-Tails Gyūki will definitely try to keep you alive. I have already sensed that there is still the Eight-Tails' chakra within you!"

Killer Bee couldn't play dead anymore, and could only weakly raise his head, saying, "Damn it! I'm done for! Minato Namikaze, I never thought... I'd still die at your hands!"

"No."

Minato Namikaze shook his head, a serious expression flashing across his face: "Kabuto Yakushi is currently helping Orochimaru capture the Eight-Tails Gyūki into the Gedo Mazo. He hasn't fully regained control of my consciousness yet. You must escape immediately!"

"..."

A look of surprise flashed across Killer Bee's face.

Minato Namikaze nodded at Killer Bee and said, "You need to escape immediately, and quickly, because after they finish resting, they should quickly extract the Nine-Tails from my body, and they probably won't send me to hunt you down!"

"Let's...go together!"

"Impossible."

Minato Namikaze shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Go back immediately and report this location to the Allied Shinobi Forces! Also, tell Naraku Uehara and Naruto to be careful!"

"..."

Kirabi nodded hastily.

Minato Namikaze watched Killer Bee's figure disappear before his face slowly fell, because everything that had just happened was beyond his control.

Obito Uchiha also stepped forward and stood beside Minato Namikaze, whispering, "It seems that Uehara guy wants to do something to Naruto..."

"Um…"

Minato Namikaze nodded, his face grim. "But right now we have no way of knowing his intentions. We can only watch as he manipulates everyone in this ninja world from behind the scenes... What exactly is this guy trying to do?"

Unfortunately, neither of them knew this.

Neither of them noticed that after Killer Bee left, a reanimated figure emerged from the cave: Itachi Uchiha.

The piece has finally moved.

On the body of an ancient dragon.

Uehara Naraku stood in front and slowly lowered his fingers.

Just now, it was he who manipulated Minato Namikaze to save Killer Bee, and after Killer Bee escaped back, he brought some information to the Allied Shinobi Forces. In addition to information about Orochimaru, there was also information that was favorable to Uehara Naraku.

Furthermore, the Allied Shinobi Forces' sensory units must have also discovered traces of a major battle, because the terrain there was completely altered after the battle between Uehara Naraku and Senju Hashirama.

Sensing the intelligence of the troops…

Killer Bee's stolen intelligence...

Uehara Naraku's own information...

The most important thing was to get Killer Bee back to Orochimaru's hiding place, which was the time when the Fourth Shinobi World War officially began!

As for the information Killer Bee brought back, it only made Uehara Naraku more trusted by the Allied Shinobi Forces; this was just a side effect, as the Five Kage didn't trust him enough yet...

"Wow! We're here!"

Deidara stood atop the ancient dragon's head, chuckling, looking down at the densely packed crowd gathering in the distance. He exclaimed, "How magnificent! If I were to drop a C4 Garuda, many people would truly witness the grandeur of my art!"

"..."

Uehara Naraku glanced at Deidara speechlessly, then turned to Sasori of the Red Sand: "Sori-senpai, I may have to command the main force, so I'll leave Deidara to you."

"…Um."

Sasori nodded, glanced at Deidara, and solemnly agreed: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything reckless."

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned and chuckled, "Once we land, we'll be disguised as the Allied Shinobi Forces Special Operations Team Two... I'm really curious to see what kind of expressions the ninjas from our hometown will have when they see us!"

"Who knows!"

Ringo Ameyuri took a bite of her apple, scoffed, and said, "It's not like you were so popular in the village back in the day, Kisame-senpai... Those people didn't really like us ninja swordsmen, they were probably more afraid of us!"

Hozuki Suigetsu, carrying his Executioner's Blade, chuckled and said, "It's been so long since I've seen Lady Terumi Mei! I really wonder what her expression will be when she sees me... Now I have the Executioner's Blade!"

"They probably won't be too happy to see me..."

Hozuki Mangetsu looked unwell. He glanced at the Allied Shinobi Forces' assembly point, rubbed his forehead, and said, "After all, I've been deceiving her for so many years..."

to be frank.

It was really awkward.

Two more updates today...

I haven't finished updating yet, and the experts are already here again...
