Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 363 Don't forget to strike at the heart when you kill! (Sixth update! Requesting monthly votes!)

Uehara Naraku frowned.

Orochimaru's character is questionable!

As a graduate of Konoha's ninja training program, a disciple of the Third Hokage, and having held a high-ranking position in Konoha, his character and mental fortitude should be quite impressive.

Why did you suddenly launch a personal attack when we were having a nice chat?

Not only did they launch a personal attack, they even directly attacked others!

Orochimaru seemed to be fighting desperately, his Truth-Seeking Ball black sword leaving afterimages as it stabbed fiercely into Uehara Naraku's throat, each strike potentially fatal!

On the battlefield.

Everyone heard Orochimaru's stern voice.

Everyone saw Orochimaru almost frantically wielding a Truth-Seeking Ball black sword and attacking Uehara Naraku, completely in a desperate stance!

The Orochimaru of today is almost a completely different person from the arrogant Orochimaru of just now. He is now like someone who has encountered a mortal enemy!

"What happened?"

Naruto Uzumaki stared at Orochimaru in the distance, his face contorted with madness, and frowned, saying, "That Orochimaru guy... why does he seem like he's gone insane?"

No, he has no problem.

Jiraiya shook his head, pursed his lips, and whispered, "Although Orochimaru looks like he's been provoked, his swordsmanship is still incredibly precise!"

"The Orochi-ryu swordsmanship itself requires extreme ruthlessness and rationality."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly and nodded, saying, "That's right. Even if Orochimaru is provoked with the most insulting language, he can't lose his mind. He's like a truly cold-blooded snake."

The two were Orochimaru's old friends.

Some of Orochimaru's habits, which he himself hadn't paid much attention to, were well known to Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had spent every day with him.

Yes, they were right.

Once Orochimaru confirmed Uehara's answer, he could barely contain his rage. His fury almost made him want to tear Uehara Naraku to shreds!

That bastard is lying to him again!

That bastard is messing with his life again!

The next second, Orochimaru immediately realized the crisis he was facing.

If his becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki is also part of Uehara Naraku's secret plan, then Uehara Naraku must have a way to control him, which means he is destined to be at a disadvantage in the upcoming battle.

There is even a risk to their lives.

This is something Orochimaru absolutely cannot accept.

Having regained his life, he no longer thinks about losing it, especially since his current body, bloodline, and power are still so strong!

Orochimaru was absolutely certain that this opportunity would not come again!

We must find a way to reverse the situation. The easiest way is to use the power of this body to defeat or even kill Uehara Naraku!

Orochimaru feigned anger in an attempt to lower Uehara Naraku's guard, hoping to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!

As long as he can survive, Orochimaru won't care about his current loss of composure. In this ninja world, only the victor has the right to declare victory, and only by living can everything have meaning!

This is his way of ninja!

The next moment, Orochimaru almost instantly found Uehara Naraku's weakness and swung his sword at Uehara Naraku's eye. This move was just a feint.

Next, join your fingers and form a hand seal!

Orochimaru swiftly raised his other hand, completing a hand seal with incredible speed, and unleashed a bolt of lightning: "Lightning Release: Thunderclap!"

"..."

Just as Uehara Naraku dodged the Truth-Seeking Ball black sword, he saw a bolt of lightning strike his chest. Orochimaru is still as cunning and treacherous as ever!

Uehara Naraku's figure vanished from his spot, reappearing behind Orochimaru. He spoke coldly, "Your fighting style is still so insidious and cunning. Clearly, you haven't lost your mind, Mr. Orochimaru!"

Uehara Naraku punched Orochimaru in the back of the head!

Orochimaru suddenly turned his head and hastily manipulated his movements to create a black barrier, blocking Uehara Naraku's fist!

However, the next moment, to Orochimaru's astonishment, the Truth-Seeking Ball barrier was smashed by Uehara Naraku's punch, which landed heavily on his face!

Orochimaru tumbled and flew out!

Uehara Naraku casually opened his palm and said softly, "Orochimaru-san, now do you understand the difference between us? Even if you become the Sage of Six Paths, you still cannot change your destiny."

"Hehehehe..."

Orochimaru wiped the dust from his face, his eyes narrowing slightly, and replied coldly, "You're still as arrogant as ever, Uehara-kun! Don't you even look at your own feet?"

"Um?"

Uehara Naraku slowly lowered his head and saw two Truth-Seeking Balls pressed tightly against his legs, instantly emitting a dazzling light!

What an extravagant way to use it!

Uehara Naraku sighed softly, waved his hand to cast a golden light shield around himself, and shook his head with emotion, saying, "Mr. Orochimaru, actually, before every battle, I always want to tell you all one thing..."

Unfortunately, before Uehara Naraku could finish speaking, the two Truth-Seeking Balls exploded instantly, the light so intense that almost everyone had to squint!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire battlefield!

Everyone stared at the area enveloped by the light, eager to see what would happen, for it was the hope of the entire ninja world!

Naruto Uzumaki stared at everything in disbelief, a hint of surprise on his face: "How could this be... Uehara...?"

"There's no way they could have survived."

Jiraiya shook his head, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "The power of a Truth-Seeking Ball explosion is unimaginable; it will instantly destroy everything within the blast radius!"

Moreover, those two Truth-Seeking Balls were detonated right next to Uehara Naraku's body, so there was no way he could have survived.

Every ninja still able to move on the battlefield involuntarily lowered their heads; they knew what that explosion meant…

Even Black Zetsu was somewhat astonished by this scene. If Uehara Naraku were to encounter any problems, then Madara Uchiha would have no choice but to take action himself!

If Madara Uchiha can't defeat Orochimaru either, then the only option left is to use the hidden methods within the Rinnegan, which might destroy those two eyes!

The smoke gradually dissipated.

A figure with three pairs of wings on its back gradually emerged, enveloped in a golden light, and slowly flew out like a god.

Uehara Naraku stared at Orochimaru, whose expression was grim, and casually opened his palm, uttering the words he hadn't spoken before.

"I am invincible, you...do as you please!"

"whispering sound!"

Orochimaru couldn't help but grit his teeth.

That bastard is still as domineering as ever!

Now what he needs to do is to find another way to get rid of Uehara Naraku, because even two Truth-Seeking Balls can't erase this guy Uehara Naraku!

Is all of this because of that golden light shield?

What kind of technique is this that even the Truth-Seeking Balls cannot destroy!

Orochimaru frowned, pondering how to break Uehara Naraku's technique. It seemed to be a defensive technique similar to Truth-Seeking Balls.

Composed of immortal techniques?

Or what kind of energy?

Unfortunately, Orochimaru didn't have enough time or the right methods to prove his point!

"What are you thinking about?"

Uehara Naraku's voice appeared beside Orochimaru.

Just as Orochimaru was waving the Truth-Seeking Ball black sword in surprise, he was kicked hard in the chest by Uehara Naraku and sent flying!

Uehara Naraku's body followed closely, reappearing beside Orochimaru. His speed was almost faster than Orochimaru's reaction speed at the Six Paths level!

At this moment, many people recalled the fear of being beaten by Uehara Naraku!

When facing Uehara Naraku, once a situation arises where the body loses control, what follows is a relentless beating!

Orochimaru was like a punching bag; even when he turned the Truth-Seeking Balls into a barrier, he couldn't stop Uehara Naraku's attacks!

Knee strike!

Elbow strike!

fist!

Springy leg!

Every blow was excruciating!

It's unimaginable just how strong this guy is!

At the very end, Uehara Naraku stopped in front of the disheveled Orochimaru, bent a finger at his forehead, and narrowed his eyes: "In front of me, no matter how much you have changed, you are still the same Orochimaru you always were."

Bang!

A finger was raised and landed on Orochimaru's forehead!

Just when Orochimaru thought he was about to be flung away by that finger, and was even so frightened that he closed his eyes, he only felt a slight pain on his forehead.

Uehara Naraku's lips curled into a smile: "Orochimaru-san, didn't you feel it just now? That was how we used to interact, wasn't it? With just a small gesture, I could scare you into submission..."

Uehara Naraku's smile deepened. He opened his palm and said sincerely, "You see, there's no difference between now and in the past. Even if you become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, you still can't escape my grasp."

"asshole!"

Orochimaru clenched his teeth.

That bastard Uehara Naraku humiliated him so much!

Almost every word hit him right in the heart!

If he couldn't escape Uehara Naraku's control in the past and present, what was the point of him risking his life to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki after his resurrection?

At this moment, Orochimaru suddenly remembered what Kabuto Yakushi had said. Kabuto Yakushi had mentioned that making him the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was an experiment. Could it be that Uehara Naraku was using his life as an experiment to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?

"You... used me as a guinea pig?"

Orochimaru's eyes twitched involuntarily.

Uehara Naraku calmly shook his head and explained, "That interpretation is somewhat biased, but it does indeed have that layer of meaning..."

After speaking, Uehara Naraku stared at Orochimaru and said, word by word, "Orochimaru-san, do you remember what you said when we first met? Didn't you also think I was an experiment?"

Tomorrow, tomorrow!

I might keep writing if I have a good idea, or I might fall asleep while writing if I'm not feeling well!

And we have gained another leader.

Many thanks to the generous support of TouRiTian, ​​the leader of the crowdfunding campaign, and to the many other generous contributors...

I'll add four more chapters tomorrow... I still owe one chapter today, so that's five more.

Tomorrow is an elder's birthday, so updates will probably be a little late...
