Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 360 You resurrected Madara, I resurrected Nagato, we both have the desire for light (Third update!)

Uehara appeared far too just in time.

This caused some discomfort among the members of the Akatsuki organization.

In the instant the crisis struck, Uehara Naraku suddenly appeared, saving Hidan with one hand and kicking away the Truth-Seeking Ball with the other, causing a sense of shock to flash through the hearts of all the Akatsuki members.

Deidara suddenly shook his head and sighed regretfully, "Uehara, it would have been so much better if you hadn't come. That way, our organization would have one less useless idiot..."

"You bastard, I'll kill you!"

Hidan, enraged, was about to raise his scythe.

These two were about to start arguing again, but luckily, Sasori and Kakuzu, the two seniors, each held one of them down, barely managing to stop them.

"alright."

Uehara Naraku waved his hand and loudly ordered, "Scorpion-senpai, you should leave here first. The upcoming battle is not something you can participate in right now."

"But…"

Sasori glanced at Uehara hesitantly: "Orochimaru has become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, and his Truth-Seeking Balls..."

"It doesn't matter."

Uehara Naraku twisted his wrist, his expression calm, and said, "I was already prepared for this. You should leave now!"

Actually, he didn't want to come out so soon, but Orochimaru actually wanted to destroy his little team, which was unbearable, especially after the Truth-Seeking Balls killed people, and even the Impure World Reincarnation couldn't save them.

After a moment of silence, Sasori of the Red Sand leaped forward, attempting to bring the two puppets down, and whispered, "I can stay and help you..."

"I can do it too!"

Deidara, riding his giant clay bird, landed beside Uehara Naraku, chuckling as he said, "I've prepared a lot of works of art for this war!"

"Well…"

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but rub his forehead, and continued to instruct, "You all should find a place to hide nearby! The real war... is still a long way off!"

"That's true..."

Kakuzu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget our original purpose. We are not allies with the Five Great Nations! Rather than staying here, let the Five Great Nations wear down Orochimaru, and then we'll reappear and defeat them!"

"...Kakuzu-senpai... is right."

Uehara Naraku nodded helplessly.

Hidan spread his palms, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Our previous leader, Pain, insisted on fighting himself, and as a result..."

"Idiot, shut up!"

Kakuzu couldn't help but curse at his teammate again.

The Akatsuki members made a ruckus and temporarily withdrew from the battlefield, intending to lie in wait in a safe place for Uehara Naraku to summon them.

the other side.

Orochimaru also noticed all of this.

Orochimaru was more concerned about how Uehara Naraku would deal with the Truth-Seeking Balls. Was Uehara Naraku still as arrogant as ever?

Orochimaru gritted his teeth, and a long sword formed from the Truth-Seeking Ball appeared in his hand. His expression turned cold again, and he flew towards Uehara Naraku!

Unfortunately, a figure blocked his way.

With two toads perched on his shoulders, Jiraiya took advantage of the time he was hiding from the Tree World's Birth to directly enter Sage Mode!

"Sage Art: Fire Release: Goemon!"

A massive, overwhelming inferno swept towards Orochimaru!

Orochimaru hastily manipulated the Truth-Seeking Balls to unfold, transforming them into a black barrier that blocked the overwhelming flames. However, to his astonishment, this time, the Truth-Seeking Balls were being subtly eroded by the fire-style attack!

Fukasaku, perched on Jiraiya's shoulder, said in a deep voice, "Jiraiya, the Great Toad Sage told us before we arrived that Sage Chakra and Truth-Seeking Ball Chakra are not the same energy; they can cancel each other out!"

"I see!"

Jiraiya's voice was somewhat solemn. He stared at Orochimaru in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Even so, defeating Orochimaru will be very difficult..."

"Um…"

After nodding, Shima the Sage muttered, "Naruto is also gathering Sage Chakra. The Nine-Tails within him is gathering natural energy faster than we are, so he should be able to help you soon..."

"Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasengan!"

Before they could finish speaking, Naruto suddenly swung and threw a Rasengan shuriken in that direction!

This is also a divine technique capable of breaking through the Seeking Truth Jewel!

"trouble…"

Orochimaru frowned slightly, and the next moment his hand suddenly shot out towards the Rasengan, coldly saying, "Although I can only use the simplest power of the Rinnegan right now, it's just right... Shinra Tensei!"

The next moment, a powerful repulsive force pushed it away!

This immense repulsive force instantly sent the spiral shuriken flying!

Orochimaru slowly raised the black sword wielded with the Truth-Seeking Ball, and coldly said, "Jiraiya, Naruto Uzumaki, since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

Orochimaru!

Jiraiya's expression grew increasingly serious. He stared intently at Orochimaru's movements, ducking to avoid the black Truth-Seeking Ball sword, and continued in a deep voice, "You've gone down the wrong path. No matter what, I will stop you!"

"Then let me see your Sage Mode!"

After Orochimaru's Truth-Seeking Ball black sword missed its target, it suddenly transformed into a spear and swept fiercely across Jiraiya's head!

Orochimaru, holding the Amazuma Spear, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Jiraiya before him and the menacing Naruto beside him. "Let me see whether the Sage Chakra of those toads is stronger, or the power of the Sage of Six Paths is greater!"

The next moment, Orochimaru charged forward, brandishing his spear!

Orochimaru, however, did not let his guard down. Several Truth-Seeking Balls hovered around him, ready to launch a sneak attack on Jiraiya and Naruto at any moment!

As a truly battle-hardened ninja, Orochimaru knew one thing very well: what he needed to do now was to launch a relentless offensive!

Truth-Seeking Balls can negate any attack and can temporarily block Sage Techniques... but Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki cannot withstand the attacks of Truth-Seeking Balls!

Orochimaru knew he could make many mistakes…

As long as he still has the Ten-Tails' chakra in his body, he will not die!

If Naruto and Jiraiya make just one mistake, they're both doomed!

Orochimaru was very clear about his advantages in this battle, and he would never allow these two guys to attack him!

"besides…"

Orochimaru's gaze slowly shifted to the young man with three pairs of wings on the other side, his eyes narrowing slightly: "For now, we won't let that somewhat strange guy, Uehara Naraku, come over... Ninja Art: Six Red Yang Formation!"

A series of red light curtains descended from the sky, forming a sealed barrier that completely enclosed Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Naruto!

Sometimes, it's true that you should be arrogant.

However, sometimes, caution is indeed necessary.

After all, Uehara Naraku is also skilled in Sage Mode, which is not very advantageous for Orochimaru!

Inside the Six Red Yang Formation.

Jiraiya and Naruto's battle continued as they struggled against Orochimaru's relentless attacks. Both knew that a single mistake would mean certain death.

Outside the Six Red Sun Formation, everyone witnessed their arduous battle.

"What should we do?"

"Where is Captain-Commander Uehara?"

"This is the Crimson Sun Formation barrier; Captain-Commander Uehara shouldn't be able to break it, right?"

"..."

Uehara Naraku is still observing.

He also wanted to see Orochimaru's arrogant side, and wait until Orochimaru was brimming with confidence before reappearing to defeat him in one fell swoop...

Unfortunately, that's not the case.

There was someone who seemed to resent him being so carefree.

Black Zetsu appeared ominously beside Uehara Naraku, speaking softly, "Naraku, this is a golden opportunity for us to weaken Orochimaru..."

"I still haven't found a way to break the Crimson Sun Formation..."

Uehara Naraku frowned and said in a low voice, "I just gathered all my Sage Chakra to deflect a Truth-Seeking Ball, and now I can only barely recover..."

"yes!"

After a moment of silence, Black Zetsu offered another solution: "However, while the Crimson Sun Formation is powerful defensively, it cannot defend against space-time techniques... Konoha has three ninjas who can use the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Kumogakure has the Heavenly Delivery Technique..."

"..."

Uehara Naraku glanced at Black Zetsu speechlessly. It seemed that this guy had found out quite a bit of information after infiltrating the Allied Shinobi Forces!

And what does that mean?

Did Black Zetsu not understand what he meant?

He just kicked away a Truth-Seeking Ball and is now extremely tired!

"We'll have reinforcements soon; I've already contacted command!"

Black Zetsu's voice held a hint of amusement, and at this moment it even vaguely regarded itself as a real ninja in the Allied Forces.

Really...

Outrageous!

Black Zetsu looked at Uehara and continued with a smile, "The caster of the Flying Thunder God Formation should send the Fifth Mizukage over... The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, and the Fourth Raikage, A, will soon use Jiraiya as a coordinate to teleport into the Six Red Yang Formation!"

"Hopefully they can help us weaken Orochimaru a little!"

After saying this, Black Zetsu sighed and said, "It's a pity. If you could have entered the Six Red Yang Formation, weakening Orochimaru would have increased our chances of winning..."

"Yeah...don't worry, we'll definitely win!"

Uehara Naraku nodded with some regret, then looked at Black Zetsu: "After we weaken Orochimaru, let's think of a way to revive Lord Nagato..."

"Hehehehe... Of course."

After Black Zetsu finished speaking, he glanced subtly at Uehara Naraku: "Lord Madara can also be resurrected and watch the birth of the new world with us!"

"Um…"

Uehara Naraku nodded, then said with some worry, "I just haven't found Lord Nagato's body yet, or his Edo Tensei form. I also don't know where Kabuto Yakushi has hidden Lord Nagato..."

"yes…"

Black Zetsu nodded, then said with some regret, "The Samsara Rebirth Technique requires either a complete corpse or a complete body reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation..."

Black Zetsu stopped speaking before it could finish its sentence.

Because at the edge of the battlefield, Kabuto Yakushi was slowly forming hand seals to summon a coffin, from which a red-haired man emerged.

It was Nagato who was resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation.

Moreover, Kabuto diligently helped restore Nagato's body to its peak condition.

Uehara Naraku curled the corners of his lips into a smile: "What a coincidence, Zetsu-senpai, it seems our wishes are about to come true..."

There are four more chapters to go!

I saw someone in the group say that!

That's right, even if it's past midnight, as long as I'm not asleep, it's still today!

Of course, everyone should go to bed early so you can watch it tomorrow morning…
