Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 347 Senior, I never imagined you would actually betray us and Itachi's dream (Third update!)

What a sin!

Uehara Naraku looked down at the list handed to him by the intelligence officer.

This list represents the second batch of Edo Tensei ninja sent by Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru, intended to hold off the Allied Shinobi Forces and buy time for Orochimaru to revive the Ten-Tails.

The Impure World Shinobi Army of Konoha: Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage; Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage; Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha; Hizashi Hyuga, the Byakugan user; Dan Kato; Asuma Sarutobi; Hayate Gekko; Shin; Torune Aburame; and the Hidden Leaf Village ninja monks...

The Hidden Cloud Village's Edo Tensei ninja army: Third Raikage A, Kinkaku, Ginkaku, the first Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Burubi, the first Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito, Magnet Release ninja Troy…

The Edo Tensei ninja army of Iwagakure: the Second Tsuchikage Mu, Explosion Release: Hunt, the former Four-Tails Jinchuriki Rōshi, the former Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han…

The Hidden Mist Village's Edo Tensei Ninja Army: Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, Fourth Mizukage Yagura, First Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata, Demon Zabuza Momochi, Suigetsu Hozuki, Kushimaru Kurihara, Jinpachi Murashi, and Kurehito Kusazuno...

The Reanimated Shinobi Forces of Sunagakure: Fourth Kazekage Rasa, Scorch Release: Pakura...

These are the main members' lists, and some Jonin, Chunin, and even Genin from the five great ninja villages have also been included. They were all experimental subjects that Kabuto Yakushi had used to research the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

These lower- and mid-level ninjas were mostly prepared by Kabuto Yakushi, and this number is definitely higher than the historical figures, perhaps because Kabuto was under too much pressure...

After all, it takes one person to risk their life to fight the Ninja World War...

Besides these reanimated ninjas, there was also a living commander.

Kabuto Yakushi also sent out a living person to lead these reanimated ninja.

That was Sasuke Uchiha, who had just acquired Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan and awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

"If you want to avenge the Uchiha, then lead these people to slaughter the Allied Shinobi Forces and stop them from getting close to Lord Orochimaru... If you are capable, you can even lead these guys directly to the Allied Shinobi Forces headquarters."

Kabuto's voice was full of seduction: "Sasuke, this Fourth Shinobi World War may be the last war in the shinobi world. Perhaps this is your only chance in this life. Don't you want to rebuild the glory of the Uchiha clan...?"

"I see."

Sasuke Uchiha ripped off the gauze covering his eyes, grabbed a Kusanagi sword, and led the Edo Tensei ninja army to the battlefield.

After transplanting Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha felt his eye power become full and powerful again. He obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan that would never make him blind, and his confidence swelled up again.

In the entire ninja world, there is absolutely no one who can rival him right now!

Sasuke Uchiha already knew the story of Madara Uchiha and his brother, and he was very clear that he now possessed the power that Madara Uchiha had once had!

No, Sasuke believes he has even surpassed Madara Uchiha!

Therefore, when Jugo saw Uchiha Sasuke heading to the battlefield with high spirits and an unbridled demeanor, he couldn't help but scratch his head in a silly manner.

"Lord Kabuto, what happened to Sasuke?"

"Maybe they've become arrogant!"

Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses as he manipulated his sacrificial materials, preparing to resurrect another protagonist of the Fourth Shinobi World War using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Madara Uchiha.

While cleaning up Madara Uchiha's body, Kabuto asked, "How's Lord Orochimaru doing? Has he not yet decided to fully revive the Ten-Tails?"

"not yet…"

Jugo shook his head hesitantly.

Kabuto shook his head and sighed softly, "It seems he's still so afraid of death... Jugo, go tell Lord Orochimaru that if he dies here, I will revive him using the Heavenly Curse Seal!"

"Yes."

Jugo nodded hastily, and was about to rush back to report the news when he suddenly turned around: "Lord Kabuto, isn't it good that Orochimaru is dead? Why did we revive him? He's no good..."

"hehe…"

Kabuto chuckled and shook his head, patting Jugo on the shoulder. "I was just saying it... I was actually lying to him. Go on!"

"Yes."

Jugo nodded quickly.

To be honest, Jugo is now having trouble distinguishing between what Kabuto Yakushi is saying and what he is lying about. Every word Kabuto says seems sincere, yet they also seem light and airy, as if they have no weight.

This world is really complicated.

After a moment of reflection, Jugo went straight to Orochimaru's rest room and relayed Kabuto Yakushi's words to Orochimaru, promising to bring him back to life after he died.

Orochimaru's eye twitched.

Orochimaru is currently in good condition, and the Gedo Mazo has already extracted the chakra of eight tailed beasts, leaving only the Nine-Tails' chakra nearby.

Minato Namikaze stood beside Orochimaru, waiting for Orochimaru to extract the Nine-Tails from his body, while also keeping an eye on Orochimaru.

On the battlefield.

Uehara Naraku stood on high ground, overlooking the battlefield.

On the other side of the battlefield were thousands of reanimated ninjas, ranging from former Kage of various villages to some teenage genin. No one knew how Kabuto Yakushi was controlling them…

There is no doubt that he dug up quite a few graves!

"Things don't seem too good!"

Jiraiya walked to Uehara Naraku's side, gazing at the Edo Tensei army units organized according to their respective ninja villages, a worried look on his face: "The enemy is more numerous than we imagined, and even stronger than we imagined..."

"Um."

Uehara Naraku nodded, gazing at the unique Konoha Edo Tensei army, his brow twitching involuntarily: "Your Konoha has far too many Edo Tensei ninja..."

"..."

Jiraiya's face darkened, and he casually replied, "This was all Orochimaru's doing. That bastard never shows any respect for the dead..."

Because Orochimaru's philosophy of life is very simple and unpretentious.

Everything has meaning only when a person is alive; once a person dies, no matter what you leave behind for this world, it ultimately has no meaning.

Orochimaru shows no respect for the dead.

No matter how many contributions those deceased made in their lifetime, once they die, Orochimaru will definitely find a way to dig up their graves.

Uehara Naraku nodded with a strange expression.

Now it seems he has chosen a good candidate. Even Orochimaru's best friend believes that Orochimaru is the mastermind, which proves that Orochimaru's character is problematic.

"Alright, get ready to charge!"

Uehara Naraku raised his palm, gazing at the Edo Tensei army in the distance, his voice gradually becoming heavy: "Before Orochimaru revives the Ten-Tails and becomes its jinchūriki, we must break through the Edo Tensei army's obstruction."

"Um."

Jiraiya nodded.

One by one, figures appeared behind him.

These two special operations teams will become the fighting force to keep those strong people occupied, and the remaining enemies can only be overcome by the massive Allied Shinobi Forces.

The only problem is that there aren't enough sealed ninjas.

Therefore, this war against the Edo Tensei ninjas may be quite difficult.

Uehara Naraku gazed at the distant Edo Tensei army, clasped his hands together, and shouted, "Everyone, focus on protecting the sealing team! Everyone... charge!"

Uehara Naraku raised his palm, and a fireball slowly floated into the sky before suddenly falling towards the Edo Tensei army. A violent explosion rang out, and the fireball blasted hundreds of Edo Tensei ninja away!

This scene drew cheers and applause from the Allied Shinobi Forces!

The next moment, countless people roared and rushed towards the enemy, throwing countless shuriken and explosive tags at the enemy's head!

The Second Tsuchikage and the Third Hokage, both from the Edo Tensei ninja, stepped forward simultaneously. They joined their hands in a hand seal and shouted, "Earth Release: Earth Flow Castle Wall!"

A long city wall blocked countless shuriken and explosive tags!

After the First Combat Unit launched a long-range attack led by Darui, the Second and Fifth Combat Units quickly charged forward under the leadership of Huang Tu and Mifune!

Third Combat Unit.

Kakashi Hatake stared at a figure in the Konoha Edo Tensei army; it was his father, Sakumo Hatake. He never expected that his father would also be resurrected by Edo Tensei.

A complex expression crossed Kakashi Hatake's face. He slowly clenched his fist and shouted, "Third Combat Squad! Attack from the left and right!"

Fourth Combat Unit.

Gaara didn't care about his father Rasa's condition at all, and directly waved his hand to summon his troops to rush forward and support the Yellow Earth Army's charge.

At this moment, the Fourth Shinobi World War finally broke out, and the largest war in history began!

Deidara, holding a lump of clay, chuckled and said, "Uehara, when are we going to attack? I can't wait!"

Let's go!

Uehara Naraku nodded slightly.

One by one, figures dressed in black robes adorned with auspicious clouds followed behind him. Their speed increased, and finally they started running!

Uehara Naraku leaped into the air and punched an Edo Tensei ninja, then blasted the ninja's body apart with a wave of his hand!

"Hahahaha... This style, truly worthy of Uehara!"

After laughing wildly for a while, Deidara rode on a clay bird and charged towards the enemy's rear, dropping countless bombs!

"Still so reckless..."

Sasori frowned at Deidara, shook his head, and waved his hand to summon the puppets of the Third and Fourth Kazekage. Countless gold dust and magnets formed senbon needles, densely covering the surrounding enemies!

"There are many guys on this battlefield who could pose a threat to us!"

After Kakuzu nodded with emotion, one by one, the Earth Grudges emerged from his body, and in an instant, flames and winds swept around, and lightning pierced through the enemy's formation!

Unfortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage who was proficient in all five elemental ninjutsu, quickly stopped the rampage of the Earth Grudge Fear with his shadow clones.

However, Jiraiya reappeared and entangled Hiruzen Sarutobi. A surge of intense flames erupted from Jiraiya's mouth, quickly engulfing Hiruzen Sarutobi and his shadow clones!

Just as Jiraiya's raging flames reached the Allied Shinobi Forces, a loud voice resounded across the battlefield!

"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"

Kisame Hoshigaki opened his mouth and spewed out a huge stream of water, which submerged all the fire-style ninjutsu and also quickly created a spherical lake!

Kakuzu watched Kisame Hoshigaki rise into the air riding on the waves and cursed angrily, "Damn it, always using Water Release ninjutsu... I'll definitely take that guy's heart someday!"

The battle was completely chaotic!

Everyone quickly found their opponent!

Only Uehara Naraku, relying on his immense strength, almost single-handedly broke through the Edo Tensei army; no one could withstand his attack!

"Don't even think about getting through here!"

A reanimated ninja suddenly appeared in front of Uehara Naraku, brandishing his ninja sword and about to kill him with a single blow!

The next moment, a punch blasted a huge hole in his chest!

Just as this reanimated ninja was waiting for himself to recover, a scroll instantly sealed him away!

Clearly, the sealing squad had already discovered Uehara Naraku's formidable fighting power, and they had been following behind the crowd he charged through, sealing away the ninjas he had defeated one by one.

have to say.

Although Uehara Naraku, the Allied Forces Commander-in-Chief, wasn't exactly a good person, his strength was undeniable. The sealing squad following him had never encountered an enemy who could withstand even a single blow from Uehara Naraku.

Just as a group of people were engaged in a fierce battle.

A tall, purple Susanoo suddenly appeared behind the Edo Tensei ninja army, and that Susanoo slowly drew back the bow and arrow in its hand!

The arrow was aimed at the area with the largest number of people on the entire battlefield!

For Uchiha Sasuke, it didn't matter who died on the battlefield. He didn't care about the situation on the battlefield at all; he just wanted revenge!

A giant purple arrow suddenly shot into the gathered crowd!

Just as the ninjas under the barrage of arrows subconsciously felt a pressure, they could only watch as the purple arrows hurtled towards them, and despair appeared on their faces.

This level of power is clearly beyond their ability to resist!

Uehara Naraku appeared beneath the giant arrow, kicked it into pieces, and looked up at Uchiha Sasuke not far away.

Uehara Naraku, without changing his expression, swung his hand, sending a reanimated ninja who attempted to ambush him flying. His gaze remained fixed on Uchiha Sasuke, and he said coldly, "Hey, Sasuke, seeing your senior like me and not even saying hello, isn't that going too far!"

"I'm sorry, senior."

Uchiha Sasuke manipulated his Susanoo to condense another purple arrow, and a wisp of black flame appeared on the arrow!

Sasuke Uchiha stared intently at Naraku Uehara, and said in a deep voice, "Senpai, I thought Kabuto Yakushi had been lying to me all along. I never imagined you had truly colluded with the Five Great Nations and betrayed our and Itachi's dreams!"

I've already written four thousand words, holy crap!

Two more chapters to go...
