Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 349 The Sky Clears (Fifth Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

On the battlefield.

The Allied Shinobi Forces had gained a complete advantage.

Uehara Naraku harvested these reanimated ninjas as easily as mowing grass. The Allied Shinobi Forces watched in shock as their insurmountable enemy was defeated by Uehara Naraku with a single punch or a ninjutsu. No one could resist his power.

One of the only two strong individuals in Sunagakure, Blazing Release user Pakura, waved his hand and summoned strange fireballs, hurling them towards Uehara Naraku!

"Scorching Release: Overheating and Killing!"

"Wind Release: Tornado!"

Uehara Naraku waved his hand, creating a gust of wind that quickly dispersed the fireballs. His figure suddenly flashed and appeared next to Yekura!

"Don't be so irritable..."

Uehara Naraku frowned slightly, grabbed Yekura by the neck, and slowly lifted her body. The next moment, a chill emanated from his hand, slowly freezing Yekura's body into an ice sculpture.

Yekura's body was hidden inside the ice sculpture, desperately trying to release her Scorching Release to break free, but even with all her strength, she could only slowly melt the ice from the inside out.

Uehara Naraku tossed Yekura to the ground with a wave of his hand, then glanced at the sealing ninja following behind him: "Seal her up!"

"Yes, Captain!"

A team of sealing ninjas nodded respectfully and took out sealing scrolls to seal Yekura.

Over the past few hours, the feelings of the sealing ninjas of the entire Allied Shinobi Forces towards Uehara Naraku have gradually changed from disdain to awe and respect.

Because they witnessed his power firsthand.

Moreover, the mission is far too easy if you act alongside Uehara.

Uehara Naraku did not linger.

His figure was like a ghost active on the battlefield, appearing every now and then next to a reanimated ninja and eliminating the enemy in an instant.

Whether they were ordinary genin, Kage-level figures, or the jinchūriki from various villages, he treated them all equally.

During this time, Jiraiya also defeated his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and sealed him away himself. Afterward, he turned to look at Naraku Uehara and said, "Uehara is actually quite reliable when it comes to fighting!"

"Um."

Might Guy walked over to Jiraiya's side, watching as Uehara Naraku defeated the Second Tsuchikage Mu and the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, and then directed the sealing team to seal the two Kage.

Might Guy watched this scene with admiration, and nodded earnestly: "Lord Kitahara Naraku is trustworthy."

"Now..."

Jiraiya nodded hastily, then turned and surveyed the battlefield, saying softly, "The Second Tsuchikage, the Second Mizukage, the Third Raikage, Sarutobi-sensei, the Fourth Kazekage, and the Fourth Mizukage have all been sealed away..."

Jiraiya's gaze finally shifted, settling on a figure constantly moving across the battlefield. His expression gradually turned serious: "So, in that case, only our village's Second Hokage remains?"

Of the Kage-level ninjas resurrected through Edo Tensei, only the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, remains.

Even Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, was defeated by Kakashi Hatake using his Sharingan, swordsmanship, and the Lightning Blade. However, after winning this fateful battle against his father, Kakashi was completely exhausted...

"Was Kato Dan also sealed away?"

Jiraiya's gaze slowly moved.

Kato Dan's spiritification technique was indeed very strong, but unfortunately he still couldn't achieve any results and was easily defeated by Uehara Naraku's summoning beast, the Soul Lock Warden.

Even his soul was captured by the spirit beast that targeted his soul.

Aside from the Second Hokage, who still relies on the Flying Thunder God Technique to move around, the only other significant enemy left is Sasuke Uchiha...

He's still locked in a fierce battle with Naruto Uzumaki!

have to say.

Both Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki became very powerful!

The battle between the two was extremely fierce, and even some powerful ninjas were unable to intervene.

Although judging from the battle situation, Uchiha Sasuke is still very tenacious.

However, everyone present knew that Uchiha Sasuke could no longer escape, because a group of people in black robes with auspicious clouds surrounded their battlefield.

They are Akatsuki ninjas.

At least the ninjas present believed that Uchiha Sasuke was doomed to perish under the siege of Akatsuki, the strongest mercenary organization in the entire ninja world!

After directing the captains of various combat units to oversee the cleanup of the battlefield, Uehara Naraku also arrived at the battlefield near Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

"Is the battle not over yet?"

Uehara Naraku walked over to the Akatsuki members. He saw Deidara frantically chewing on clay, and his eyebrows twitched involuntarily: "Deidara, what are you doing now?"

"I'm going to give Uchiha Sasuke a super surprise art performance!"

Deidara spat out clay from his palms, which slowly coalesced into a strange-looking large bird. His face grim, he said, "There are only two Uchiha left in this world, right? Every one we kill is one less..."

Naraku Uehara: "..."

You're so petty!

Back when Itachi Uchiha recruited Deidara into the Akatsuki organization, he used his Sharingan to put Deidara under a genjutsu that nearly killed him. From then on, Deidara began to target the Uchiha clan.

Isn't the miniature telescope on the left eye cool?

Besides being able to take photos and conduct reconnaissance, its main function is to guard against Sharingan genjutsu.

Isn't C4 Garuda cute?

Normally it's not very conspicuous, but when used, it becomes a super-scaled figure made in Deidara's appearance and size. Once it explodes, it can release countless clay spiders that are almost micron-sized, which can blast a person's body into ashes from the inside out...

This technique is specifically designed for Itachi Uchiha.

Even after Itachi Uchiha died, Deidara never gave up targeting the Uchiha clan, as if his life wouldn't be fun without targeting them...

Sometimes, Uehara Naraku was genuinely worried about Deidara. What if Deidara died and saw a bunch of Uchiha in the underworld...?

Wouldn't that drive someone crazy?

Uehara Naraku slowly raised his finger. After receiving the news from Yakushi Kabuto that Orochimaru was about to revive the Ten-Tails, he decided to start harvesting his own followers.

"Fine, I'll go take care of him!"

"No, let me go!"

"You just stay here quietly..."

Sasori grabbed Deidara's arm and said with displeasure, "You're really courting death! Didn't you almost get killed just now?"

"What's going on?"

Uehara Naraku's expression showed surprise for a second.

There shouldn't be anyone on the entire battlefield who can threaten Deidara, right? Besides, while the Akatsuki members aren't exactly known for their close-knit relationships, they'd definitely come to the rescue if their comrades were in danger…

Therefore, Uehara Naraku did not pay attention to Akatsuki's situation.

Did you expect that Deidara, that goofball, almost got killed again?

Sasori hesitated for a second before whispering, "He was just yelling about blowing up Uchiha Sasuke, and nobody could stop him. He ended up being captured by Sasuke's Susanoo. If Naruto hadn't saved him, he would have almost died at Sasuke's hands..."

"Then you'd better stay here obediently."

Uehara Naraku grabbed Deidara's shoulder and shook his head, saying, "Sasuke is stronger than Itachi now! Whether it's genjutsu, taijutsu, ninjutsu, or dojutsu, he has almost no weaknesses..."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku added, "Of course, he doesn't have any redeeming qualities either, in my opinion."

That's quite a confident statement.

However, Uehara Naraku has always displayed power that seems to have no limits, and no one knows exactly how strong he is.

Deidara gave him a speechless look, then raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't underestimate Sasuke. His Susanoo attacks are incredibly fast..."

"rest assured."

Uehara Naraku chuckled and walked step by step to the center of the battlefield: "In this world, no one knows how to deal with Sasuke better than me."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku's figure floated up and flew towards the direction of Susanoo, only to be met head-on by a giant Rasengan shuriken that had been knocked away!

No wonder so few people were able to participate in this battle…

Even a single, random spell is something that none of the others present could withstand!

Uehara Naraku instinctively sidestepped, dodging the enormous Jade Spiral Shuriken, and hurled a fireball, shattering it completely.

"Uehara, don't come any closer!"

Upon seeing Naraku in danger, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but shout, "Leave Sasuke to me!"

"snort…"

Standing within Susanoo, Sasuke Uchiha manipulated it to raise his longbow and giant arrow once more, sneering, "Who do you think you are?"

"I am…"

Naruto Uzumaki manipulated a giant chakra hand, creating another enormous Rasengan shuriken, and shouted fiercely, "Naruto Uzumaki!"

"idiot!"

Sasuke Uchiha abruptly clenched his fingers, his expression gradually turning serious: "Then I'll show you the legendary power of the Uchiha clan..."

This surpasses even Madara Uchiha's power, Naruto Uzumaki! Congratulations on becoming the first person to witness this form and die before it!

The purple Susanoo suddenly changed!

A pair of legs appeared beneath the purple Susanoo, supporting its body and instantly increasing its height!

Countless purple chakra appeared on the Susanoo, gradually transforming the increasingly massive Susanoo into a new form, almost completely changing its appearance!

His physique alone is completely different from his previous state!

The purple Susanoo was wearing a pair of huge, powerful purple boots, making it unusually large. Its somewhat eerie appearance now looked rather ferocious.

Sasuke Uchiha's body was also enveloped inside the head of Susanoo. Inside, he slowly covered his eyes, feeling the pain and power of Susanoo's activation.

It must be said that this form of Susanoo was the first time Sasuke Uchiha had used it.

This form of Susanoo is only the fourth form, not the true complete form, but it is already quite a burden for Sasuke.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Naraku Uehara, who was still stubbornly charging forward, and said in a low voice, "Although I feel that this eye power has not been fully developed, the fourth form of Susanoo is enough to deal with you..."

"..."

Uehara Naraku remained silent for a while.

Uehara Naraku slowly extended his finger, condensing a wind ball, and flicked it into the air.

The next moment, the clouds and mist gathered by countless ninjutsu in the sky were instantly blown away by the wind ball, and the sunlight slowly shone down, falling on the purple Susanoo.

The sky cleared up.

Fifth update...

Dog's life is more important, time to sleep...

I originally planned to write up to the point where Madara appears; I intended this chapter to be 5,000 words long…

I'm too sleepy, so I'll post this first...

After that brief setup, you should now know how Madara got here...
