Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 35 Shall we assassinate the Water Shadow?

At this moment.

Kisame Hoshigaki looked utterly shocked.

He had only signed a contract, yet he had gained a significant increase in chakra and physical energy from that eerie green energy!

Therefore, Kisame Hoshigaki's first question was about his newly acquired power: "I want to know what kind of technique this is that can enhance my strength and chakra..."

Kisame Hoshigaki's first question stumped Naraku Uehara.

An embarrassed look appeared on the young ninja's face. He quickly waved his hand and casually explained, "This is a gift from the Dark Spear. Let's talk about the Eye of the Moon plan that liar Obito Uchiha proposed!"

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded and said earnestly, "That's what I want to know most too: can the Eye of the Moon Plan truly bring peace to the ninja world...?"

"cannot."

Uehara Naraku shook his head and explained in a deep voice, "The Eye of the Moon Plan is a huge conspiracy. Behind it are many schemers who use this plan to deceive people. Black Zetsu used this plan to deceive Uchiha Madara and make him work for him. Uchiha Madara used this plan to deceive Uchiha Obito. Uchiha Obito is using this plan to deceive my teacher..."

"..."

Kisame Hoshigaki only heard the gist of it, but he felt a chill run down his spine. Wasn't the Eye of the Moon Project just a nested nest of nested dolls?

It sounds a bit like a pyramid scheme…

Obito Uchiha, who deceived him, was also someone who was deceived!

Kisame Hoshigaki widened his eyes and whispered, "So, what will be the ultimate outcome of the Eye of the Moon Project?"

"Hmm..."

Uehara Naraku shrugged, looking utterly helpless, and said, "They'll probably resurrect an old woman who's over a thousand years old, has two sons, but is still somewhat cute!"

"..."

Kisame was completely baffled. He finally realized that he shouldn't have asked so many questions at all, because there were too many things he couldn't understand.

The so-called truth about the ninja world is too complicated for Uehara Naraku and him to figure out in a short time.

Kisame racked his brains for a moment, then asked, "So what can I do? Kill that Uchiha Obito and stop this plan?"

"No."

Uehara Naraku shook his head and said softly, "What you need to do is join the Akatsuki organization, infiltrate, and pretend to be a spy sent by Uchiha Obito to monitor Uchiha Itachi. When I need it, I will ask you for information about Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi."

"..."

After a moment, Kisame Hoshigaki understood Naraku Uehara's meaning and said with a grin, "Actually, I'm a spy you sent, but I'm supposed to pretend to be that liar Obito Uchiha to spy on that Itachi who massacred the clan, right?"

"You are very wise."

Uehara Naraku praised Kisame Hoshigaki, then added, "When we return to Akatsuki, don't be too polite to me. For some reason, I'm currently just an intern in the organization."

How many interns does the Akatsuki organization still have?

Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Naraku Uehara speechlessly: "When that guy named Obito found me and ordered me to beat you up badly, he also told me that he was just an intern in the Akatsuki organization."

"I'm not like him."

Uehara Naraku waved his hand and explained softly, "Uchiha Obito was just using the guise of an intern to hide himself and secretly monitor the Akatsuki's every move, while I was the Akatsuki's real intern, the kind with impeccable credentials."

Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head and remained silent.

Of course, he couldn't tell his new boss directly, as this boss was much more secretive than Obito Uchiha.

I don't know why the Akatsuki organization, with so many spies and schemers with different motives, hasn't disbanded yet...

What an amazing organization with such incredible resilience!

Uehara Naraku was thinking to himself that, apart from the matter of Momochi Zabuza and Haku, there wasn't much else to do in the Land of Water. Thinking this, Uehara asked Kisame, "Is there anything else you need to take care of in the Land of Water?"

"No, shall we leave the Land of Water now?"

Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head; he had never had any attachments.

A moment later, Kisame Hoshigaki seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile, "I just heard that Zabuza Momochi is going to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage. How about we give Obito Uchiha a gift before we leave... kill that Mizukage he's controlling?"

"..."

Uehara Naraku remained silent for a moment, then, remembering Kisame Hoshigaki's bloodthirsty nature, he couldn't help but say, "Kirigakure is your hometown..."

"That's why I helped them end the Blood Mist Village before I defected!"

Kisame Hoshigaki slung his Samehada sword over his shoulder and said softly, "As a ninja who has slaughtered many comrades in various villages, I know very well the pain of killing comrades... The Fourth Mizukage issued so many orders to kill his comrades; the real Mizukage must have been in unbearable agony long ago, right?"

Who can bear the pain of killing their comrade?

Even Kisame Hoshigaki, whose heart is now numb, once felt this kind of pain. In his loneliest moment, he met a kind female ninja, but he killed her with his own hands because of his superior's orders.

If the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, were to be freed from his genjutsu and learn that the infighting in Kirigakure was caused by his orders, wouldn't the Mizukage be devastated and commit suicide?

Looking at the excited Kisame Hoshigaki, Uehara Naraku felt he couldn't dampen his subordinate's enthusiasm: "Fine, do whatever you want!"

After killing the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, Obito Uchiha, who was secretly controlling Yagura, must have been feeling nauseous. Actually, this was a pretty good thing.

However, Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head, revealing his full set of shark teeth, and chuckled, "No, I can't do this... because I still need to infiltrate Obito Uchiha's camp. If I kill the Mizukage, it will arouse his suspicion."

"..."

Uehara Naraku immediately understood Kisame Hoshigaki's meaning: Kisame wanted to use him and Zabuza Momochi as an opportunity to assassinate the Mizukage in order to make a contribution to their hometown.

If Kisame Hoshigaki hadn't made some sense, Naraku Uehara might not have been able to tell whether he or Kisame was the superior...

Uehara Naraku frowned and said, "Assassinating the Fourth Mizukage won't be that easy, especially since he has a tailed beast inside him. Let's go and gather information about him first..."

"Don't worry, I know where the Mizukage is."

Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled and shook his head, providing information to his new superior: "Ever since Yagura was severely injured by Itachi Uchiha and Juzo Biwa, he has been living in his original residence, which is a forbidden area of ​​Kirigakure. Only his trusted ninjas are allowed to approach it."

"Understood."

Uehara Naraku sighed.

Anyway, his assassination attempt on the Fourth Mizukage would not only cause trouble for Obito Uchiha, but also allow him to complete a few side missions.

The reward for assassinating the Mizukage might be quite generous, right?
