Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 482 What punishment will someone who wants to infiltrate the Akatsuki receive?

Uehara Naraku did not appear in front of everyone.

Although he is currently the highest-ranking person in the entire Wano Country, he also has to temporarily shoulder the responsibility of being a Marine spy and cannot show himself casually.

The trivial matters of Wano Country were all left to Konan and the Allied Shinobi Forces to handle.

What Uehara Naraku wanted to do was to quietly lie low and slowly manipulate the world through his subordinates, astonishing everyone in the world.

the other side.

Under Obito Uchiha's persuasion, Kaido agreed to join the Akatsuki organization, and the entire Beasts Pirates would become the Akatsuki's outer armed force.

To avoid causing turmoil in the world, the defeat of Kaido and the Beasts Pirates by Princess Kaguya was deliberately downplayed, allowing him to maintain his position as one of the Four Emperors.

Anyway, aside from the Akatsuki...

It seems that no one can take away Kaido's position as one of the Four Emperors.

Within the entire Beasts Pirates, a new theory has emerged that their pirate commander Kaido has formed a strategic alliance with Kaguya, the goddess who descended upon Wano Country.

The cost...

Wano Country was naturally dedicated to the gods.

The three calamities of the Beasts Pirates fully understand their eldest brother's actions. The people who have invaded Wano Country are extremely powerful, and the strength of their new ally is definitely comparable to that of the other Four Emperors.

Compared to the likes of Kurozumi Orochi…

The Allied Shinobi Forces and the Akatsuki are far too strong!

In exchange for his allies, Naruto Uzumaki was sent to Onigashima to join the Beasts Pirates, taking over Obito Uchiha's position.

Naruto Uzumaki, who can transform into the golden Nine-Tails, is quite suitable for the Beasts Pirates, even just in terms of appearance...

After the war was declared over.

Wano Country is slowly getting back on track.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, as the nominal supreme ruler of the entire Wano Country, would appear mysteriously at Uehara Naraku's contact point every day.

As the true leader of Wano Country, Konan quickly organized the ninjas to establish hospitals and orphanages in Wano Country according to the methods of the ninja world, taking in all the homeless orphans in Wano Country.

Subsequently, under Konan's command, the ninjas established ninja schools and samurai schools, requiring eligible students to take entrance exams, regardless of whether they were commoners or nobles.

even…

Among them is Professor Haki, a samurai who joined the Akatsuki organization!

This is a bit unbelievable...

Even the Kozuki clan in the past didn't seem to have done anything like this.

Generals, daimyo, nobles, samurai – these lineages have remained virtually unchanged, and commoners can only rise to power through the favors of the nobles.

In addition, the entire Wano Country quickly began to split up, with most civilians starting to migrate again. Regions such as Kuri, Flower Capital, Hakumai, and Ringo became inhabited areas, while the Nozomi region became a training ground.

Meanwhile, Kaido's weapons factory in Wano Country was dismantled in batches, and all facilities were relocated to the Udon area, which happened to be near the Udon prisoner quarry.

As for the prisoners in the rabbit well…

Since most of the prisoners were pirates or samurai loyal to the Kozuki clan, their fate was not changed by the change of rulers in Wano Country.

Their fate might even be more tragic, because these people will never see any hope of the Kozuki clan returning to Wano Country.

Their fate was tragic...

For the common people of Wano Country, Wano Country under the rule of Akatsuki was much better than Wano Country under the Kozuki clan and Kurozumi Orochi.

Even Shimotsuki Yasuie, who once had a good impression of the Kozuki clan and even supported them, had to admit this. Unfortunately, he would not change his loyalty, so he was also sent to the Usagi Well.

If the Shimotsuki Yasuie family is in such a miserable state... then imagine what the others must be like.

Kawamatsu, Shutenmaru, and the others were all thrown into the Rabbit Well.

Only Denjiro and Komurasaki (Hiyori Kozuki) escaped unharmed, because Denjiro defected to Akatsuki and became a samurai under Akatsuki's command, hoping that Akatsuki would spare Komurasaki's life.

This condition…

After Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki had traveled around Wano Country, they met Komurasaki and insisted on agreeing to the proposal!

"How could they let such a cute girl go mining!"

At the Akatsuki headquarters in the Flower Capital, Jiraiya slammed his fist on the table, greatly displeased: "This is the most beautiful courtesan in the entire Wano Country! I'm here to gather information on her... cough cough cough... Besides, her father hasn't done anything particularly wrong, has he!"

"That's certainly true..."

Huang Tu frowned and said in a deep voice, "But now that we have occupied Wano Country, we are destined to be enemies..."

"If it's this troublesome, it's better to just kill him!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, spoke with some agitation: "No matter what, we can't leave such a huge hidden danger behind. It's a problem for us..."

"It doesn't matter, you can decide."

Temari listlessly flipped through her large fan.

The decision-making power will definitely be in Konan's hands, but there is another person in Wano Country who can make the decision.

His name is Uehara Naraku.

In the end, Denjiro and Komurasaki stayed behind.

According to Uehara Naraku's speculation, the Time-Time Fruit is somewhat strange, and it's unknown which point in the future Komurasaki's mother, Toki Amatsuki, will send Momonosuke to...

After thinking for a while, Uehara Naraku summoned Hatake Kakashi and taught him a few tricks to deal with Denjiro and Komurasaki.

City of Flowers

Denjiro was somewhat relieved that he had saved Komurasaki again, and planned to go back into hiding and continue his old story of infiltrating Orochi's forces...

These members of Akatsuki…

It doesn't seem to be much smarter than Kurozumi Orochi.

It was late at night.

Denjiro secretly gathered a group of samurai who wanted to join him, but these samurai were wiped out by the ninjas, which really made Denjiro's mentality collapse!

Those bastards…

They actually used him as bait!

Surrounded by a group of ninjas, Denjiro gripped his sword with a grim expression, shielding Komurasaki behind him, a hint of despair on his face.

"don’t worry."

Kakashi Hatake, the ninja captain in charge of the operation, looked at them and sighed softly, saying, "We won't kill you; we'll even send ANBU to protect you..."

Seeing Denjiro's sudden change in expression, Kakashi Hatake continued in a deep voice, "As the price for your survival, you must use the name of the Kozuki clan's little princess to provide us with these samurai with ulterior motives..."

After saying this, Kakashi Hatake adjusted his headband and continued quietly, "If you can't provide us with the whereabouts of the rebels, then there's no point in you two rebels living."

After saying that, Kakashi Hatake remembered someone's instructions and said, "By the way, before you die, we will inform the entire Wano Country that you betrayed your comrades."

We will tell the entire Wano Country that we originally intended to give up pursuing these wandering samurai, but you betrayed them, just to save the little princess of the Kozuki clan…”

This method…

It's absolutely appalling!

Just by looking at the style, you can tell it's from Uehara.

It just so happens that Uehara Naraku is working as a Marine spy in Wano Country. How could he possibly tolerate anyone else working as a spy under his command?

Uehara even prepared follow-up measures…

The entire Kozuki clan will become the most hated family in Wano Country!

Once this news gets out, the entire Kozuki clan will never be able to establish themselves in Wano Country again, and no samurai will be able to pledge allegiance to them!

Light Moon…

Is this really the end?

Kakashi Hatake looked at Denjiro, whose face was contorted in pain, and said, word by word, "You have no other choice but to continue drawing away the rebel samurai for us... Otherwise, you will die soon, and the Kozuki clan will be utterly disgraced!"

At this point, Kakashi Hatake continued, "Don't provide false information. If this happens even once, you should know better than me what fate awaits the little princess you're supposed to protect, right?"

"..."

Denjiro had never seen anyone as despicable as Kakashi Hatake. He glared at Kakashi, his face contorted with rage, and said, "Is this the code of conduct for you ninjas?"

"Kozuki can't change anything. The people of Wano have made their choice. You stubborn fools have no right to judge us, do you?"

Kakashi Hatake opened his palm, looked at Denjiro, and his eyes slowly turned serious as he said, "There's one more thing. The reason I'm telling you all this..."

It's to let you know how many innocent people you are sacrificing for the Kozuki clan now, and how many more innocent people will be buried in the name of Kozuki in the future!

Denjiro, you know you're doing something that will kill your comrades, yet you can't stop yourself from continuing. How clean will you be in the future?

"...Really..."

Denjiro initially wanted to berate Kakashi Hatake for being despicable, but then he suddenly remembered that in order to protect Komurasaki from dying, he would have to follow Kakashi's orders...

Indeed, he wasn't much cleaner!

At that moment, Denjiro finally regretted it!

I thought I could be an undercover agent again, just like before, but I never expected that I would be completely fooled this time, and even forced to the point of wishing for death!

If he wants Komurasaki to go down, he must keep betraying those samurai who are willing to die for Kozuki.

If he and Komurasaki were to commit suicide, the Akatsuki would claim that he betrayed the samurai for the sake of the Kozuki clan's princess, and the Kozuki clan would be disgraced in Wano Country... The samurai who were just captured by the ninja forces are proof of that!

"Denjiro!"

Xiao Zi suddenly pulled out the hairpin from her hand, and the frivolity of the courtesan was gone from her face, replaced by a resolute expression!

"If it's just about surviving for the sake of the Kozuki clan's reputation, then there's no need for such a fuss... Father's choice back then is my choice!"

Back then, her father, Kozuki Oden, would dance naked beneath Orochi's tower for a lie that could save the people of Wano Country, earning him the reputation of a fool...

At that time...

The Kozuki clan has almost lost all its reputation, with only the Nine Red Scabbards remaining as followers. How could she possibly be willing to kill more people for the sake of her reputation?

"Hmm, I underestimated you!"

Kakashi Hatake rubbed his forehead, pondering the words Uehara Naraku had taught him, and continued, "What should we say at this time?"

"If you refuse to continue searching for rebels for us, we might find it troublesome and decide to kill the people of Wano Country..."

After saying this, Kakashi Hatake sighed and said, "Oh, right, those people in the Ussuri-o-Ciel, especially the Nine Red Scabbards, were executed by boiling because of you..."

That sounds just like something a villain would say…

These words didn't sound like something a human would say, because they were all taught to him by Uehara Naraku.

Uehara Naraku even guessed what Komurasaki might do.

Does this guy intend to control other people's destinies no matter where he goes?

Denjiro had no idea who was behind it all; he simply listened to Kakashi's words and gripped his sword tightly!

At this moment, he really couldn't help but want to kill Kakashi Hatake!

Xiao Zi slowly lowered her hand that was gripping her hairpin. Her face was deathly still as she said in a deep voice, "What... exactly do you want?"

Komurasaki looked at Kakashi Hatake, tears welling up in her eyes: "You've made us live in a hell on our souls, is this punishment for the Kozuki clan? But we haven't done anything..."
