Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 481 Naval Spies of Wano Country and the New Masters of Wano Country

Kaido is having a run of bad luck.

Of the Four Emperors in the latter half of the Grand Line, only Kaido suffered repeated defeats at the hands of different enemies, and the entire Beasts Pirates fell into enemy hands.

Now we can't even retain a shred of dignity!

Oh shit…

How did he end up like this?

In less than a year, how did the Beasts Pirates, who once dominated the latter half of the New World, become like this...?

That's outrageous...

These guys who invaded Wano Country appeared out of nowhere without making a sound, and directly defeated the Beasts Pirates.

Obito Uchiha had no idea what Kaido was thinking. He simply stroked the crack on his cheek and continued to threaten Kaido: "Kaido, do not disobey the will of God... otherwise, as God's punishment, everyone connected to you, except you, will be used as pawns to be manipulated, whether they live or die."

"..."

Upon hearing Obito Uchiha's words, Kaido looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki in the air. This goddess was exceptionally wicked, even more cruel than Kaido, a brutal pirate!

But it does look very similar...

Because in Kaguya's eyes, it seemed that nothing mattered, as if the world was just a plaything to her, and as if she cared about no one!

Do not…

Kaguya isn't someone who doesn't care about anyone.

Just as Obito Uchiha was still threatening Kaido, Kaguya's figure slowly floated down in front of Obito and Kaido, her voice somewhat cold.

"I'm going to see Yu Yi. I'm leaving things here to you."

After Kaguya finished speaking, she ignored Obito Uchiha and her figure floated into a suddenly appearing pitch-black spatial gate, disappearing without a trace.

It is the spacetime technique Yomotsu Hirasaka!

Obito Uchiha glanced at Kaguya with surprise, shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Kaido, saying, "Let's continue talking... Kaido... Although we could use you even if we killed you, we still wouldn't be as powerful as you at your peak..."

"..."

Kaido stared at Obito Uchiha and slowly clenched his fist.

Is this what you call negotiation?

Isn't that a threat?

While Obito Uchiha was negotiating with Kaido, the battle in Wano Country had completely ended, and all five units of the Allied Shinobi Forces had entered the Flower Capital.

In just one day, the entire country of Wano inexplicably changed hands.

Before the common people of Wano Country could react, a large number of ninja forces had already entered, driving out the Beasts Pirates, recruiting the country's unaffiliated samurai, and hunting down the Kozuki clan and their retainers.

City of Flowers

Uehara Naraku had already arrived here.

After all, if they wanted to send tens of thousands of ninjas directly from the ninja world to this world, Uehara would definitely have to be here.

At this very moment, Uehara Naraku is welcoming Konan to the Flower Capital, which he has just transformed using the power of the wood element.

The Flower Capital, which was originally reduced to ruins by the battle between Uchiha Sasuke and Kaido, has regained its beautiful scenery.

Nico Robin stood beside Naraku Uehara, gazing at the cherry blossoms blooming anew in the City of Flowers, her face still filled with awe.

Creating is far more difficult than destroying.

Nico Robin's gaze swept across the entire Flower Capital before slowly settling on Uehara Naraku: "It's truly unbelievable. Just a few minutes ago, this place was a wasteland, but now it's transformed into a paradise of flowers, making one want to stay here forever..."

"Um."

Uehara Naraku nodded, gazing ahead with a slight smile playing on his lips: "The Flower Capital is where Konan-sensei will live in the future. If it's still that ruin, it would be too disappointing for her..."

Wano Country will be the Akatsuki's main base in this world.

As the center of Wano Country, the Flower Capital, the most prosperous region, will certainly not be left idle, and it is also the most suitable place for the Akatsuki organization to become its future base.

Uehara Naraku simply took matters into his own hands and used the power of the wood element to carry out a greening project on this land. He couldn't possibly rely on Yamato from Konoha, could he?

Nico Robin looked at Uehara Naraku, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "It sounds like Mr. Uehara has a very good relationship with his teacher..."

"Hmm..."

After pondering for a while, Uehara Naraku shook his head and said to himself, "It's alright, we're pretty much just relying on each other for survival..."

"..."

Nicole Robin got a little stuck.

A relationship where they depend on each other for survival... is that considered okay?

Nico Robin couldn't help but shake her head. She was becoming increasingly curious about the teacher Uehara Naraku had mentioned—someone who commanded Uehara Naraku's respect…

What kind of person is he?

Is it powerful enough to suppress the world?

Just then, a square, black portal appeared beside them, and Kaguya's figure slowly floated out from it...

Upon seeing Kaguya Otsutsuki's appearance, Uehara Naraku's forehead twitched, and he couldn't help but ask, "Kaguya-sama... what brings you here... has Kaido been dealt with?"

"..."

Princess Kaguya slowly nodded, her body floating to appear beside Uehara, reaching out to land on Uehara Naraku.

"Feather Robe..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Uehara Naraku rubbed his temples and waved to stop Kaguya from approaching him. There was no way to explain this woman to him!

Really...

What a hassle!

The reason why Uehara Naraku brought Kaguya with him in this war to occupy Wano Country as a base was that he wanted Princess Kaguya to become a god guarding Wano Country in the future.

To be honest, there's nothing wrong with this decision.

The only problem is...

Kaguya Otsutsuki always mistakes people for others.

Even after the war ended in the ninja world, Kaguya's son, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, remained wary of her, and their relationship remained tense. In contrast, Naraku Uehara was somewhat more lenient towards Kaguya.

Therefore, Black Zetsu often looked down on the divine Sage of Six Paths who protected the order of the ninja world, but praised and extolled Uehara Naraku for being full of the brilliance of humanity...

The misunderstanding can't be cleared up anytime soon.

Even though Uehara Naraku's power system had changed in this world, Otsutsuki Kaguya seemed to have made up her mind, her gaze still fixed on Uehara.

"I understand, Uehara."

After hearing Uehara Naraku explain his identity once again, Princess Kaguya nodded earnestly, then reached out and stroked Uehara's cheek, tears streaming down her face: "Are you doing well in this world? Your mother has been so worried about you..."

"..."

Uehara Naraku's face darkened.

What the hell is this...? We might as well call him Feather Robe!

Nico Robin stared in astonishment at Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was weeping, then glanced at Naraku Uehara, who remained unmoved, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face.

"...Mr. Uehara's...mother?"

"Robin, don't listen to her nonsense, she's mistaken you for someone else."

Uehara Naraku reluctantly broke free from Kaguya, rubbed his temples, and continued, "I'm just someone responsible for protecting her..."

"..."

Nicole Robin's expression grew increasingly strange.

Uehara Naraku glanced at Kaguya, sighed softly, and said, "This is the Flower Capital, Akatsuki's future base. If you need anything, just tell Black Zetsu, and I've already sent it over as soon as possible..."

"Um."

Kaguya nodded, her gaze still fixed on Uehara Naraku.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, a group of ninjas appeared in their field of vision. These ninjas were all wearing Akatsuki's auspicious cloud-patterned black robes.

Only the members of the Akatsuki organization…

Only formal uniforms that can be worn by those in the future!

Aside from important occasions, the five Kage and Daimyo of the ninja world, as well as those powerful ninjas, generally prefer to wear the clothing of their villages.

The team that arrived was none other than Konan, Haku, and Kaguya Kimimaro!

As the supreme commander of the entire Allied Shinobi Forces, Konan has a lot of work to do. She also has to constantly check on the Allied Shinobi Forces' situation during the war, and she also inspects the entire Wano Country to see what to do after the war ends.

This is not a waste of time.

After Konan inspected parts of Wano Country, she finally decided on three things: to build an orphanage, to build a hospital, and to establish a school.

This country is far too backward.

Although Wano Country may be technologically advanced, it lags far behind the ninja world in terms of its systems and other aspects. The villagers' lives are even worse than those of ordinary people in small ninja countries.

It's unbelievable...

This Wano Country doesn't even have a single school!

It wasn't until she met Uehara Naraku that Konan's slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her mood slowly eased.

"Really..."

After walking a few steps towards Konan, Uehara Naraku suddenly gave a wry smile: "Is it because we haven't seen each other for so long?"

Although they've only been separated for less than a year...

But a lot happened during this time.

Not too long after, when Uehara Naraku saw Konan again in this unfamiliar world, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disbelief, as if he had been transported to another world.

"Naraku."

Konan's voice reached Uehara Naraku's ears.

Compared to Uehara Naraku's feelings, Konan didn't think too much about it, because during her time in the ninja world, besides dealing with Akatsuki's affairs, she worried about her disciples every day.

"teacher…"

Just as Uehara Naraku was about to say something...

Konan took a few steps forward, habitually reaching out to straighten his disheveled collar, and said with some confusion, "Don't you love Akatsuki's uniforms the most? Why aren't you wearing them here? This uniform seems a bit small..."

"Uh...maybe it's because I'm still growing..."

Uehara Naraku's expression showed a slight hesitation, after all, it was indeed inconvenient for him to wear the auspicious cloud black robe in this world, and none of them were wearing the auspicious cloud black robe.

Aside from Itachi Uchiha, the Edo Tensei user…

After all, the first group of members who followed him into this world now have their own identities, and they certainly can't let others discover that they are a group.

Uehara Naraku looked down at Konan, who was straightening his collar, and familiar memories gradually returned. He finally slowly reached out his arm and hugged Konan's shoulder.

"It's been a long time, teacher."

"Um."

Xiao Nan patted his back reassuringly and whispered, "You've never been away from me for so long before... How long can you stay here this time?"

"long time."

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but smile.

This time, Uehara Naraku can indeed stay in Wano Country for a long time, even though his identity is that of a spy sent to Wano Country by the Navy.

This is really...

This couldn't be more bizarre.

No, or rather, this whole thing was arranged by Uehara Naraku.

As the new ruler of Wano Country, Uehara Naraku also serves as a liaison for the Navy and CP organization under the World Government in Wano Country.

That is to say...

All the CP agents and naval spies in Wano Country are now directly exposed to Uehara Naraku, although they themselves cannot escape Uehara Naraku's grasp.

but…

Go and capture them yourself, or let the enemy deliver themselves to your door...

The feelings in these two situations are quite different.

This matter is somewhat complicated; it's all a consequence of Uehara Naraku's manipulation of the upheaval in Wano Country.

One month ago.

A dramatic change occurred within Wano Country.

Orochi was killed by Sasuke Uchiha, and the entire Wano Country fell under Kaido's control. What should have been an opportunity for the weapons factories to begin exporting in large quantities overseas...

However, at Uehara Naraku's instruction, the trade between Doflamingo, the head of the underworld, and Kaido was suspended for a month for some reason.

During this month, Kaido, worried about the threat posed by Obito Uchiha, did not provoke Doflamingo and resumed their trade.

That's the problem.

Doflamingo's trade relations are linked to the World Government.

The World Government's desired Seastone weapons all came from Doflamingo, the middleman who liked to profit from the price difference; however, trade has been temporarily suspended...

Sea stone is out of stock!

Even the resumption of supply remains uncertain!

The World Government was unable to obtain the much-needed Seastone from Doflamingo, was powerless to intervene in Wano Country's affairs, and had not even obtained much intelligence.

Since the Seastone produced in Wano Country is very important for the manufacture of naval vessels and weapons, the Navy's SWORD force and CP agents were forced to mobilize to try every means to obtain information about Wano Country.

As the current staff officer of the Navy Headquarters, there are generally no secrets that can be kept from him, and he even makes most of the decisions.

therefore…

Kabuto Yakushi suggested that Uehara Naraku, a captain in the Navy's SWORD unit, use his former identity as a member of Baroque Works to infiltrate Wano Country and gather intelligence.

There was no reason for the naval leadership to disagree with this decision.

In addition, in order to complete the mission as soon as possible, Kabuto Yakushi, who had just obtained command of the CP agents, ordered the CP agents and Uehara Naraku to work together to search for intelligence on Wano Country and restore the supply of Seastone weapons as soon as possible.

If nothing unexpected happens...

This matter is likely to drag on for quite some time.

The World Government was anxious, but it couldn't possibly order the Navy to launch a full-scale attack on Wano Country, because warships simply couldn't reach that area, and they dared not send all their admirals to besiege Kaido...

That's too dangerous!

therefore…

The Navy and the World Government could only place their hopes on Uehara Naraku and CP agents. Even if they couldn't restore the Seastone trade, they hoped to find out when the Seastone weapons supply would be restored.

Aside from Kabuto Yakushi, the Navy hadn't considered...

Their spies have already taken up the highest positions in Wano Country.

First update!

call…

worn out!
