Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 367 Tsunade: The Familiar Feeling is Back (Fourth Update!)

Uehara Naraku is quite busy.

He's now a man playing with nested dolls behind the scenes, slowly unraveling one of the nested dolls for the Allied Shinobi Forces, and incidentally putting a lid on Madara Uchiha's head as well.

Uehara really feels like he's so busy!

How could Uehara Naraku bear to let Uchiha Madara return to the underworld?

If Madara Uchiha returns, how will Kaguya Otsutsuki be resurrected? In fact, the most important goal of everything right now is to completely resurrect Madara Uchiha!

Clearly, Madara Uchiha was unaware of all of this.

After Uehara Naraku had appeased and deceived Uchiha Madara, he looked at the many ninjas present who were in a frenzy of anger and said with a light laugh, "What's wrong? Shouldn't everyone applaud my strategy?"

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

to be frank.

The ninjas present felt more uncomfortable than if they had been on a roller coaster.

If it were Uehara Naraku who betrayed them at the last minute, it would be somewhat understandable, but the fact that everything was orchestrated by Uehara Naraku behind the scenes is quite emotionally devastating!

"Captain-Commander, you must be joking, right?"

One of the Sand Ninja was still somewhat incredulous. He looked at Uehara Naraku and reached out his hand pleadingly, "Don't joke like that! You were fighting so hard the whole time, you saved us..."

Because Uehara Naraku was very brave in the previous battles, and even saved the lives of many ninjas, almost the entire Allied Shinobi Forces respected him greatly.

It is because of Uehara Naraku's existence that they have come this far.

Now that Uehara Naraku has suddenly revealed himself to be the mastermind, how can these ninjas accept this?

"Yes, Captain-Commander!"

"Lord Uehara, you must be joking!"

"Hey, Uehara, are you kidding me?"

Some ninjas couldn't help but widen their eyes and rushed towards them, even Killer Bee joined in the fun.

"I'm just worried about having a few fewer audience members."

Uehara Naraku casually waved his hand, then, noticing Killer Bee in the crowd, suddenly said, "Oh, I almost forgot, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, it was also my doing that you were able to return to the Allied Shinobi Forces alive!"

Uehara Naraku winked at Killer Bee and said with a smile, "It's because you brought out information that was beneficial to me from the enemy's lair that the Five Kage were able to entrust me with the command of the Allied Shinobi Forces."

"..."

Kirabi fell silent.

Damn it, that liar, he fell for it!

The next moment, the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki silently drew his ninja sword and charged towards Uehara Naraku!

Silence is the harbinger of Killer Bee's wrath!

Killer Bee had barely reached Uehara Naraku's side when Uehara Naraku easily kicked him back!

Uehara Naraku shook his head and sighed softly, "Really, you only survived because of my great mercy. I am your benefactor, yet you pointed your sword at me. What an ungrateful person!"

"…asshole!"

Kirabi squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

Uehara Naraku shook his head, shifting his gaze from Killer Bee to the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the crowd, and a smile gradually spread across his face.

"Everyone, don't look so grim, cheer up a little!"

Uehara Naraku said something that made everyone's faces even more unpleasant, but he continued with a smile, "Your silence is making me feel really awkward..."

"Uehara Naraku!"

Gaara gritted his teeth in hatred and said in a deep voice, "Was all of this... really orchestrated by you behind the scenes?"

Why is this person always like this!

Whenever Gaara manages to regain even a sliver of affection for Uehara Naraku, or even intends to accept him despite past grievances, this guy does something even worse!

Why is it always like this!

Does this person have no heart?

Can't he just be a decent human being?

"yes!"

Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead and chuckled, "Everything, everything, was orchestrated by me behind the scenes! I was the one who ordered Yakushi Kabuto to start the Fourth Shinobi World War..."

Uehara Naraku's smile deepened. He looked at Orochimaru on the ground and continued with a smile, "It's quite interesting! Actually, I killed Mr. Orochimaru a long time ago, and only his soul is still dwelling in Ryuchi Cave."

Everything I had Kabuto do was done in Orochimaru's name. It wasn't until Orochimaru was resurrected that I learned someone had started the Fourth Shinobi World War for him and found the Five Great Nations as his opponents...

"What's the point of you doing this...?"

Tsunade felt a bit exhausted. She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger: "Since you could handle everything quietly, why drag the Allied Shinobi Forces into this? Just to watch your performance?"

Damn it, this is a completely undeserved disaster!

Uehara Naraku clearly knew Orochimaru's location, and even that Orochimaru's resurrection and becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki were all controlled by him, so why did he still launch a ninja war and drag these innocent ninjas into it!

"No, all of these are necessary steps."

Uehara Naraku shook his head at Tsunade and sighed softly, "If I hadn't done this, if I hadn't made Orochimaru an enemy of the world, he might not have been willing to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki!"

"..."

Everyone present was somewhat at a loss.

At this moment, they didn't know whether to feel sorry for themselves or for Orochimaru, because they all seemed to be pawns in Uehara Naraku's hands.

Madara Uchiha's eyes twitched involuntarily.

This little guy... he's really going all out!

He was manipulating the Allied Shinobi Forces on one side, while his subordinates were manipulating Orochimaru and the Edo Tensei army. Was this the legendary case of fighting against oneself?

It seems that Uehara himself is alright...

The faces of this group of ninja all seemed to show expressions of utter despair.

Every ninja was unable to accept this, and their faces were filled with barely suppressed anger. No one could tolerate such a thing!

Like a fool, I was manipulated into accepting a war!

In the end, they were just a tool to force Orochimaru to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki!

They even once regarded this mastermind behind the war as their hope for victory!

All the ninjas present glared angrily at Uehara Naraku, as if they wanted to burn him to ashes with the fury in their eyes!

How could Uehara Naraku do this?!

That's so fucking annoying!

For Tsunade and Jiraiya...

came back.

They're all back.

That feeling is back.

Isn't this just like how Uehara Naraku used to constantly refer to Hanzo-sama when facing them, always saying that if they wanted to wipe out the Akatsuki, Amegakure would definitely come to their aid...?

Therefore, when Konoha faced the Akatsuki organization, they all considered Uehara Naraku and Hanzo of the Salamander to be the strongest forces in defeating Akatsuki...

Then I suddenly learned that Hanzo had been dead for many years...

Furthermore, Uehara Naraku was actually a core member of Akatsuki...

This feeling is actually not very good.

To be honest, people with heart problems really can die on the spot.

Jiraiya slowly tightened his grip on the kunai in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Even if Nagato is resurrected because of this, he will never forgive you..."

"Oh, I already asked that question."

Uehara Naraku looked calmly at Jiraiya and said softly, "Lord Nagato said that no matter what I do, he will forgive me."

"..."

Everyone present fell silent.

Nagato, watching from afar, also noticed the white light emanating from his body. As a user of the Rinnegan, he knew this was a natural omen of Rinnegan.

Nagato couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

At this moment, Nagato's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

If there's any solace in it, he became Uehara's pawn; if there's any anger, everything Uehara did was for his resurrection and to escape that deadly Rinnegan.

On the other side of the battlefield.

All the ninja allies also saw the white light emanating from Madara Uchiha's body.

Those who had witnessed the Rinne Rebirth technique before immediately realized what was happening, and Tsunade loudly issued her order: "Everyone, attack Orochimaru immediately! We must stop him from reviving Madara Uchiha!"

Even knowing there was no chance of winning, they had to do it!

Tsunade realized that Madara Uchiha's resurrection was not without reason; he wanted to be resurrected to replace Orochimaru as the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and carry out the so-called Eye of the Moon Plan!

That plan to plunge the entire ninja world into genjutsu!

No matter what, we absolutely cannot let Madara Uchiha succeed!

Unfortunately, because of Orochimaru's battle just now, many members of the Allied Shinobi Forces had their chakra absorbed and are now unable to even move!

As Tsunade saw that only a few dozen people had stepped forward, a look of worry appeared between her brows. With such fighting strength, how could they possibly stop Uehara Naraku and Uchiha Madara…

That's nothing short of wishful thinking!

Especially since their chakra was almost completely depleted...

Just then, Naruto suddenly started running around the entire Allied Shinobi Forces at high speed. Every time his palm touched a ninja, a layer of red Tailed Beast Cloak would quickly float up from that ninja's body!

"Grandma Tsunade!"

Naruto's voice reached Tsunade's ears. He shouted, "Both Kurama have agreed to my request; they can provide chakra for everyone... and all the tailed beasts are willing to fight alongside us!"

At this moment, everyone's hope was rekindled.

Every ninja who received the Nine-Tails' chakra stood up, clenched their fists, and looked towards the positions of Uehara Naraku and Uchiha Madara.

Naruto Uzumaki, squeezing between runs, fixed his gaze on Naraku Uehara and shouted, "Uehara, the Nine-Tails has told me everything too! I will never forgive you for using Mother's affair to threaten Father!"

At this moment, Naruto's eyes were filled with anger!

Clearly, being deceived by Uehara once again must have been a truly unpleasant experience for someone as easygoing as Naruto Uzumaki!

This guy, in particular, is even worse than the last time he deceived them!

"Has the Nine-Tails' chakra been dispersed?"

Madara Uchiha frowned slightly. He looked at Naraku Uehara beside him and asked, "Although they are a rabble, they have gained the ability to bite you after acquiring the Nine-Tails' chakra. I haven't fully revived yet. Can you handle them?"

This statement is half true and half false.

For Madara Uchiha, this situation couldn't be better.

Madara Uchiha's original plan was to have Uehara Naraku fight the Allied Shinobi Forces so that he could reap the benefits.

Uehara Naraku glanced at Uchiha Madara, chuckled, and said, "Of course, no problem. I'll handle the Allied Shinobi Forces. As for the nine tailed beasts outside, Madara-senpai, you can deal with them. It shouldn't be too much of a burden for you, right?"

"Hmph, just what I wanted."

Madara Uchiha nodded slowly.

Uehara Naraku paid no attention to Uchiha Madara's ulterior motives. He slammed his hand on the ground, looked up at the swarming Allied Shinobi Forces, and calmly said, "Then let them see what kind of enemy they're facing! Summoning Jutsu!"

next moment…

Four figures appeared in front of Uehara Naraku!

I haven't finished writing today's yet...
