Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 346 This guy Kabuto has done a lot of bad things!

Most of the leaders of Xiao are not good at public speaking.

Or rather, the leaders of Akatsuki are not good at giving righteous speeches, but once they turn evil and become villains, their pretentiousness is still quite high.

From the Yahiko era through the Nagato era to the present Uehara era, almost all three generations of Akatsuki leaders have been idiots when it comes to talking.

Uehara Naraku's speech left all the ninjas present seething with hatred yet helpless; they had to admit that Uehara Naraku was right.

This is an unavoidable war.

Therefore, the people around them may be ninjas who accompany them in the final stage of their lives, and after their deaths in battle, they may be the ones who can pass on their last words to their relatives and friends or the only people they can entrust to their descendants.

No matter how much they hate those around them, it's useless. The Allied Shinobi Forces are inevitable, and there's no way to change that.

"It seems everyone understands the truth by now!"

Uehara Naraku looked down at the tens of thousands of ninjas present and shouted, "If you don't want to be left without even a single person to collect your corpses, then you'd better behave yourselves and live peacefully together, just like you would with your former friends, understand?"

"..."

Nearly 80,000 ninjas remained silent.

The next moment, the entire ninja alliance assembly point became a sea of ​​cursing. Everyone was too busy cursing Uehara Naraku to care about venting their anger on those they had old grudges against.

"asshole…"

"That bastard..."

"Those guys from Akatsuki, they're all no good!"

"I really don't understand why the Five Kage appointed him as our Captain-Commander!"

"For some inexplicable reason, I have a feeling that with this guy as our commander, the hope of winning this war is even slimmer!"

However, after they finished cursing Uehara Naraku, they quickly apologized rudely to their teammates, and there was a sense of desolation in their conversation that their remaining life was very short.

Fortunately, they share a common language.

As long as you curse the former captain, we can become good friends.

Although the process wasn't particularly good, in terms of the result, Uehara Naraku did indeed successfully fulfill his duties as the captain-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, firmly uniting the 70,000 to 80,000 ninja troops here.

Let's go!

Uehara Naraku glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice, "The raiding force will move out first! The rest of the combat units will follow immediately!"

"yes!"

The captains of the five combat units exchanged helpless glances, then flew down to their respective units and led them toward Orochimaru's location.

News also came from the intelligence unit.

The first batch of reanimated enemies appeared within their perception range, and that person was also rushing towards the Allied Shinobi Forces' assembly point!

Uehara Naraku, who was also listening to the intelligence report, learned that the first batch of Edo Tensei ninja had appeared to ambush them. Curious, he asked, "Who were the first batch of Edo Tensei ninja?"

"There's only one person..."

Hinata Hyuga's voice became exceptionally solemn as she spoke: "The enemy is Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja, former Akatsuki member Itachi Uchiha!"

"I see."

Uehara Naraku immediately issued his order: "Send a message to Jiraiya right now, instructing him to lead the First Special Operations Squad over there. I will immediately send him reinforcements to assist him in quickly sealing Uchiha Itachi!"

After speaking, Uehara Naraku ordered in a deep voice, "Tell all units to continue advancing. Don't worry about Uchiha Itachi. Don't waste time. We can't let Uchiha Itachi alone stop the advance of the 70,000-strong Allied Shinobi Forces!"

"Yes, Lord Uehara!"

Hinata Hyuga agreed with a serious expression.

the other side.

After receiving orders, Jiraiya and the First Special Operations Team immediately rushed to the forefront of the Allied Shinobi Forces to eliminate Uchiha Itachi.

Their special operations team has been further strengthened by the return of Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Taking down Itachi Uchiha should be no problem for them.

Moreover, Uehara Naraku will send them reinforcements.

In Jiraiya's opinion, this was actually unnecessary.

Even though Itachi Uchiha's fighting power was astonishing, it posed little challenge to their First Special Operations Squad. They had solutions for both Susanoo and Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi could only injure one person...

After being surrounded by Jiraiya and the members of the First Special Operations Squad, Itachi Uchiha, one of the first Edo Tensei combat troops, immediately activated his Mangekyou Sharingan!

"Amaterasu..."

"careful…"

Just as Naruto was about to warn him, a jet-black crow suddenly shot out of his mouth, its eye socket containing a Mangekyou Sharingan!

This scene surprised everyone present!

Even Jiraiya thought they were under a genjutsu.

Itachi Uchiha stopped attacking, and his will returned.

The crow hidden inside Naruto's stomach contained the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan left behind by Shisui, a technique used to deal with Sasuke Uchiha.

When the crows see Itachi Uchiha's eye power, they will emerge and use the Kotoamatsukami internal transcribing seal technique, the effect of which is to make people loyal to Konoha.

Now, this technique has altered Itachi Uchiha's will.

"So, in the end, it didn't turn out as those people expected?"

After regaining consciousness, Itachi Uchiha showed no excitement, but was filled with despair, because he knew that it was Kabuto Yakushi and others who were manipulating things behind the scenes!

The next second, the S-rank rogue ninja resurrected by Edo Tensei immediately reacted and shouted, "Lord Jiraiya, Naruto, Mr. Guy, please stop for now, I have something to say to you..."

Whoosh!

A soul-snatching chain suddenly struck Uchiha Itachi's body!

This soul-snatching chain emerged eerily from the depths of a distant forest, clearly indicating that the person who made the move was extremely cunning, waiting for this very moment!

"This is…"

Itachi Uchiha's expression changed drastically. He had already sensed the terror of this soul-snatching chain. It was an ability specifically targeting the soul, which was perfect for an Edo Tensei ninja like him!

The next moment, a red giant appeared!

The Susanoo skeleton quickly enveloped Itachi Uchiha's body, also blocking the attack of the Soul-Snatching Chains, allowing him to escape temporarily.

Just as Itachi Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief and was about to quickly tell Jiraiya and the others about Kabuto Yakushi and the others, a series of incantations suddenly appeared on the ground!

The range of this incantation is exceptionally wide!

As Itachi Uchiha looked on in surprise, he suddenly raised his head and sensed a massive amount of chakra rushing toward them at high speed!

"The hero... has arrived!"

A deep, sharp shout rang out!

A tall stone statue crashed to the ground, sending Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo flying into the air. Immediately afterward, the tall stone statue punched the red Susanoo!

The next moment, the gargoyle suddenly threw a punch at the red Susanoo, creating a crack in the Susanoo's body... Even Itachi Uchiha didn't have time to react to the sudden appearance and attack of this tall stone statue!

No, or rather, he knew!

Unfortunately, they had no power to resist!

"What on earth is this thing...?"

Itachi Uchiha's face was grim as he manipulated his Susanoo to draw his Totsuka Blade and seal the terrifying stone statue before him into it.

The red Susanoo was grabbed by the arm by the giant statue almost instantly, and torn to pieces in the next moment!

"no…"

Itachi Uchiha immediately turned to look at Jiraiya and the others, but seeing them all standing still and not moving, a sense of despair flashed through Itachi's heart.

"Destroy Kotoamatsukami first..."

Perhaps because he was about to reach the true end, Itachi Uchiha was very clear-headed. He did not know what was happening, but he was certain that this was definitely a conspiracy by Uehara Naraku, Kabuto Yakushi, and others.

Therefore, even at the risk of being hit by the giant statue, Itachi Uchiha released Amaterasu at the crow that had the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan, burning the crow to ashes!

Just as Itachi Uchiha was about to unleash Tsukuyomi again, hoping to use the opportunity of having everything within the Tsukuyomi space under his control to tell Naruto the truth, a giant fist suddenly slammed into Itachi Uchiha's body!

Bang!

The Colossus of Justice smashed Itachi Uchiha's body into ashes with a single punch!

Just as Itachi Uchiha's body was gradually recovering, the soul-snatching chain reappeared and suddenly hooked onto Itachi's body!

A strange green figure flew along the chains, and in Itachi's despair, the green figure suddenly threw out a lantern that conveyed painful screams, which absorbed Itachi's soul.

The corpse resurrected on the ground quickly shattered after losing the support of its soul, revealing a white Zetsu in a painful death. Clearly, this was the sacrifice for resurrecting Uchiha Itachi using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

When the battle ended, everyone present was still in shock, their eyes involuntarily drawn to the towering colossus and the green monster.

The next second, the two figures turned into a cloud of smoke.

These were Uehara Naraku's absolute trump cards against Uchiha Itachi: Galio the Colossus of Justice, primarily used to directly destroy his Susanoo; and Thresh the Chain Warden, used to trap Itachi's soul.

"Did you send reinforcements to deal with Itachi Uchiha? Did you take him out?"

Uehara Naraku's voice appeared beside them, urging urgently, "Lord Jiraiya, if you've dealt with Uchiha Itachi, advance quickly! The second batch of reanimated ninjas has arrived!"

After speaking, Uehara Naraku added, "According to the information from the sensory unit, the number and deployment of the second batch of Edo Tensei ninja far exceed our expectations! Moreover, they have divided into five units, each heading towards our combat force!"

"clear."

After Jiraiya agreed, he was about to leave with Naruto and the others, but Naruto just stood there in a daze.

"What's wrong, Naruto?"

"No...it's okay..."

A flicker of surprise crossed Naruto's eyes. He shook his head and said softly, "I just felt that Itachi Uchiha no longer seemed to have any ill intentions towards us... The look in his eyes just now... was very strange, indescribably strange..."

"..."

Jiraiya patted Naruto on the shoulder and whispered, "The second batch of Edo Tensei ninja targeting the Allied Forces has arrived. They need our support there. Let's head over there first!"

"it is good."

Naruto Uzumaki nodded hastily, putting Itachi Uchiha aside.

Just as the First Special Operations Team was heading to the front line, news came from the raiding force that they had suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat. The raiding force's captain, Kankuro, also successfully brought back enemy intelligence to the Allied Forces.

"That bastard Orochimaru!"

"That bastard organized all the reanimated ninjas according to their villages, and he even turned them into an allied ninja army..."

Kankuro clutched his wound and explained in a low voice what had happened after they encountered the enemy: "The reanimated ninja from each village were gathered together. We encountered the reanimated army of Sunagakure led by my father, Rasa, and we were all defeated by them..."

Sai, a member of the surprise attack team, explained with a grave expression, "Furthermore, I've done aerial reconnaissance. Compared to our Konoha's Edo Tensei army, the Sunagakure Edo Tensei ninja army is utterly insignificant..."

"Damn it, is this the time to compare ourselves to others?!"

Kankuro couldn't help but glare at Sai.

"But…"

A look of worry crossed Sai's face, and he said in a heavy voice, "I'm telling the truth..."

Lists appeared on the intelligence unit's pens, and this information was urgently sent to the combat units that were about to make contact with them. The army composed of reanimated ninjas was truly astonishing!

Even when Uehara Naraku received that list, he couldn't help but gasp: "Kabuto... he's done a lot of bad things!"

I'm back...

It's a bit late...
