Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 387 Wouldn't it be better if everyone joined the Akatsuki organization?

After a brief exoneration, Uehara Naraku left.

He shifted all the blame onto Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Black Zetsu from a thousand years ago, as if he were just a clueless little ninja who happened to have some skill.

A colossal ancient dragon descended from the sky, carrying Uehara, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and Black Zetsu away from the battlefield.

After Uehara Naraku left.

Many people focused their attention on Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, clearly wanting to extract more information from them.

"All right…"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head, his expression gradually becoming serious: "First of all, everything Uehara said is a lie! No, that's not right, I should say, everything he threatened us was true!"

Looking at the expressions of surprise and understanding on everyone's faces, Naruto Uzumaki continued in a deep voice, "Or rather, I can't tell whether what Uehara said is true or false, because he is the reincarnation of a part of the chakra of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, although he has always denied it..."

"..."

Every ninja involuntarily gaped open; just now, Uehara Naraku had completely smeared the Sage of Six Paths!

That guy is really ruthless...

They even slander their own past life!

Is this how the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' chakra behaves? Pretending to be weak while actually being strong, using tricks and manipulating these lowly ninjas?

Naruto Uzumaki, looking at the shocked faces of the crowd, continued softly, "The purpose of this war was for the legendary progenitor of chakra, Kaguya, to devour the chakra of everyone in the ninja world, but her goal was thwarted by Uehara Naraku..."

Therefore, Uehara's strength was actually extremely high. He easily defeated both the progenitor of chakra and another part of the Sage of Six Paths' chakra...

Naruto Uzumaki didn't hide anything too much.

He recounted the entire course of the war.

Whether it's the origins of the Senju and Uchiha clans, the appearance of the Sage of Six Paths, or the appearance of Kaguya, it all comes down to the fact that she was originally the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' chakra.

Everything that happened left the Five Kage completely shocked.

These secrets from a thousand years ago... are indeed quite astonishing.

"In other words..."

Tsunade slowly turned her head to look at everyone present and said softly, "He invited us to a post-war meeting a week from now... We absolutely have to go."

"snort…"

Sasuke Uchiha said disdainfully, "You don't have to go either. It would be better if all of you corrupt and degenerate bastards were destroyed!"

"You bastard, what did you say...?"

The Fourth Raikage, in a fit of temper, was about to charge forward!

The next moment, he was easily knocked to the ground by Uchiha Sasuke!

Just as Sasuke drew his ninja sword, intending to kill the Fourth Raikage with a single blow, Naruto Uzumaki hurriedly stopped him and slowly shook his head.

"Sasuke, stop spreading hatred."

"…snort!"

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Naruto, slowly sheathed his ninja sword, and said disdainfully, "A bunch of idiots!"

After finishing his rant, Sasuke Uchiha left without lingering.

Just as several Cloud Ninjas slowly drew their ninja swords, intending to kill Sasuke for the Fourth Raikage, giant golden chakra hands suddenly emerged from Naruto's body, pinning them all to the ground.

"You are no match for them."

As Naruto watched Sasuke's departing figure, he murmured, "Besides me, Uehara Naraku, and Kaguya, there's no one in this ninja world who can rival Sasuke anymore..."

No one in the entire ninja world can rival Sasuke anymore.

Just as Sasuke Uchiha left, feeling that the ninja world was so vast that he had nowhere to go, a roar of an ancient dragon reached his ears.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but look up.

A string of people sat atop the ancient dragon. Besides Uehara Naraku, Kaguya, and Black Zetsu, the Akatsuki members were enthusiastically waving at him.

Even Nagato and Kabuto were there.

Nagato simply had a pair of ordinary eyes, eyes that Uehara Naraku had created for him using Yang energy.

Kabuto Yakushi is still the same as always, pushing up his glasses the first thing he does when he sees someone.

Oh shit…

These persistent ghosts.

Just as Uchiha Sasuke was burying his head in his hands, trying to ignore it and leave, Uehara Naraku's voice reached his ears: "Hey, Sasuke, even if you don't want to see me, at least fulfill your responsibilities, right?"

"What responsibility?"

"Take care of your Uchiha's ancestor, Kaguya-hime!"

Uehara Naraku's voice sounded somewhat nasty: "Ha, I just went to pick up these guys and found you all alone here... Since you have nowhere to go in the ninja world, why not stay in Akatsuki like Itachi!"

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha frowned.

The next moment, Uchiha Sasuke leaped into the air and landed on the ancient dragon, coldly saying, "Uehara Naraku, you bastard, stop pretending to be Itachi's friend in front of me, okay?"

"...Tsk."

Uehara Naraku shook his head, then rode the ancient dragon into the sky, flying towards the direction of Amegakure.

Deidara looked at Sasuke, pouting in dissatisfaction: "Seriously... why did they even let those Uchiha guys join Akatsuki?!"

"alright."

Sasori interrupted Deidara's complaints, speaking softly, "Uehara's intention is probably to have Sasuke take the place Itachi left behind!"

Inside Rain Hidden Village.

Xiao Nan was still somewhat uneasy.

After the Infinite Tsukuyomi was lifted, Amegakure returned to normal, but the villagers' anxiety was unavoidable.

Just then, the roar of an ancient dragon echoed from the sky!

Xiao Nan's figure instantly transformed into pieces of origami, which floated out and landed on the village's tall tower, where they reassembled into her body!

An ancient dragon landed beside the tower.

Rows of figures dressed in black robes adorned with auspicious clouds sat atop an ancient dragon.

Uehara Naraku, sitting at the very front, waved to Konan: "Sensei, over here! I've brought Nagato-sama back with me!"

"..."

Konan's gaze wandered and landed on Nagato.

Xiao Nan's expression gradually stiffened, and her brows furrowed slightly: "Actually... I wasn't really out of the illusion at all?"

Before leaving, this disciple said he would definitely bring back Nagato's body, but how did he end up bringing back a living Nagato?!

"It's not an illusion."

Uehara Naraku appeared beside Konan, extending his palm and gently placing it on her hair.

Konan slowly raised her head, looking at Uehara Naraku's face, and said calmly, "If it's an illusion, I don't care... This is fine too."

Unfortunately, this is not an illusion.

It is the real world.

After Uehara Naraku returned, their lives seemed to return to what they used to be, except that Nagato no longer lived in seclusion in the tower and would occasionally come out for a stroll.

As for the members of the Akatsuki organization.

In addition to Kabuto Yakushi, Black Zetsu, and Sasuke Uchiha, who were ordered to return, the Akatsuki now has one more member than before.

Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Uehara Naraku kept stuffing people into the Akatsuki organization, and no one knew what he was planning to do. He even had many auspicious cloud-patterned black robes prepared for him.

This is truly baffling.

Especially since Kakuzu dislikes wasting money, he believes that having two sets of uniforms for each member of the Akatsuki is already wasteful enough...

These are all necessary preparations for Uehara Naraku.

The only troublesome problem is that Kaguya Otsutsuki is becoming increasingly strange. This woman is like a ghost, suddenly appearing from Uehara's side from time to time.

Seven days later.

The five Kage arrived at Amegakure.

Uehara Naraku sat in his office. Upon seeing them, he didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "From today onwards, all matters concerning war in the entire ninja world will require the Akatsuki's approval, including even your Anbu infighting. Any objections?"

After Uehara Naraku finished speaking, before they could object, he added softly, "If anyone has any objections, there's no need to go back, because by the time you return to your village, it will probably have been destroyed."

"..."

The five shadows fell silent.

Everyone's cheeks twitched involuntarily.

At this moment, they especially missed Uehara Naraku, who held the Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron, because at least back then Uehara Naraku was still willing to deceive them.

So this Uehara Naraku...

Does the person's true nature become worse with each layer of truth revealed?

Looking at the silent Five Kage, Uehara Naraku continued, "Of course, this is not an absolute rule. The Akatsuki will also help the Five Great Nations resolve disputes and mediate wars... In addition, the Akatsuki will also recruit powerful ninjas from the ninja world to become members of the Akatsuki and train them to become even stronger."

After speaking, Uehara Naraku raised five documents in his hand, which fell into the hands of the five Kage as the breeze blew.

Uehara Naraku tilted his head and said calmly, "Besides matters concerning the war, other things such as the Chunin Exams may also be discussed at Akatsuki meetings in the future."

Apart from me, as the leader of Akatsuki, having veto power, most matters are decided by Akatsuki members through voting. So you may have the opportunity to implement your own measures.

The Akatsuki organization is merely putting a shackle on your adventurous wars. If you want the Akatsuki to pass a resolution concerning the ninja world, you can try to get your proposal approved at the meeting.

As major powers in the ninja world, each major power has three candidates to join Akatsuki. These can be your Daimyo, Kage, and Kage's assistant. If you want your proposals to get more votes, make the ninjas in your villages stronger and have them join the Akatsuki organization.

After Uehara Naraku finished speaking, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "In this way, the entire ninja world will at least always be at the negotiating table. Although I am in control of this negotiating table now, it may very well be you in the future!"

"..."

The five figures couldn't help but raise their heads.

At that moment, they had a vague feeling that Uehara was treating them like idiots.
