Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 483 A New Storm Is About to Rise on the Sea

Komurasaki is the daughter of Kozuki Oden.

Regardless, her identity is far too sensitive.

Now that the Akatsuki have occupied the entire Wano Country, they naturally cannot allow the Kozuki clan's retainers to continue causing trouble. If they were truly willing to surrender, it would also benefit the Akatsuki...

This will also benefit Uehara Naraku's future plans.

If Momonosuke were to travel to this era using the power of the Time-Time Fruit, only to discover that his sister Hiyori and his retainers had all betrayed him…

At that time...

I wonder what he'll think?

Now, under Uehara Naraku's guidance, Hatake Kakashi, through a series of attacks and counterattacks, has forced Komurasaki and Denjiro to give up all hope and have no choice but to let the Akatsuki organization arrange their lives.

A large number of ninjas are scattered throughout Wano Country, assisting the civilians in quickly restoring production. According to Denjiro's intelligence, they are secretly hunting down samurai loyal to the Kozuki clan.

Besides that…

Uehara Naraku also provided information on the CP agents, and the Allied Shinobi Forces easily captured several CP agents who had infiltrated the area and brought them to the Ussuri Well.

Wano Country quietly returned to peace.

After a long time, Uehara Naraku finally contacted the Navy. Somewhat surprisingly, it was Yakushi Kabuto who answered his Den Den Mushi.

"Colonel Naraku."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Kabuto Yakushi spoke in a businesslike tone, sounding somewhat uncomfortable: "We're off the coast of Wano. How's your mission progressing?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Uehara Naraku said in a low voice, "A coup has occurred in the entire Wano Country. The Akatsuki organization has taken over the entire country, and their leader is a woman named Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who claims to be a god who descended upon Wano Country."

"..."

Kabuto Yakushi also fell silent.

The two of them knew perfectly well who the true leader of the Akatsuki was.

To be honest, Kabuto Yakushi had long anticipated that Wano Country might change hands.

If Uehara Naraku wanted to comfortably act as a spy for the Navy in Wano Country, the best way would definitely be to turn Wano Country into his own territory…

What was unexpected was that Uehara Naraku played his cards differently than usual, directly sending out that terrifying woman, Otsutsuki Kaguya!

After pondering for a moment, Kabuto Yakushi continued, "I understand, Colonel Naraku. Is there any other information? What's the Beasts Pirates' whereabouts?"

"The two sides have formed an alliance."

Uehara Naraku thought for a moment and then provided another piece of information: "Akatsuki has a ninja force of tens of thousands of people spread throughout Wano Country, making my work very difficult. Recently, they have been conducting a large-scale manhunt for members of the Kozuki clan and CP agents of the World Government..."

When Uehara Naraku got to this point, his voice became somewhat hoarse as he said, "They're still investigating, and I'm worried about being exposed, so I've applied to go into hiding and remain silent..."

"Can."

Kabuto the Pharmacist in the Den Den Mushi agreed without hesitation.

If Uehara Naraku says that staying in Akatsuki territory is in danger of being exposed, then it is definitely in danger.

There is no doubt about this.

Wano Country, on the outer sea.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Kabuto glanced at Vice Admiral Tsuru and Vice Admiral Momousagi beside him and said softly, "Tsuru-senpai, Momousagi-senpai, unless we have the determination to start a war, perhaps all we can do is wait for the right opportunity."

"That's right."

After thinking for a moment, Lieutenant General Tsuru said in a low voice, "According to your intelligence theory, this little guy named Uehara Naraku has provided enough information. At least we know the enemy's identity. The rest we can only let him investigate slowly..."

"Um."

Kabuto nodded, adjusted his glasses, and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps we will have a new opportunity soon. Kaido is a war maniac, especially since he has just gained a powerful ally."

Having suffered a defeat in the war against the Whitebeard Pirates, he would certainly not give up easily, and he also has an opportunity to face off against Whitebeard.

According to our intelligence, a group of pirate crews under Whitebeard's command have repeatedly passed through Fishman Island. They may want to bring Jinbe, the former Shichibukai, back to Fishman Island...

"you mean…"

Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Kabuto Yakushi with some surprise, then slowly nodded and said, "When the Whitebeard Pirates try to reclaim Fish-Man Island, will Kaido really show up?"

"The probability is very high."

Kabuto slowly nodded and said softly, "Given Kaido's personality, if the Whitebeard Pirates make any move, he definitely won't let them succeed so easily..."

Especially…

Kaido is backed by the Akatsuki organization!

Because of Uehara Naraku's existence, the Akatsuki organization wouldn't have any allies. Kabuto Yakushi could almost guess that Kaido might have already become a member of the Akatsuki!

How could a Yonko pirate crew possibly tolerate being near the Akatsuki's base!

Unless they belong to the Akatsuki organization.

On the island of demons.

Naruto Uzumaki entered the island teeming with pirates.

Since Kaido joined the Akatsuki organization, the Beasts Pirates have become the outer armed forces of the Akatsuki, and Naruto Uzumaki joining the Beasts Pirates can be seen as a form of training.

Along the way, there were pirates with ferocious appearances everywhere, which made Naruto Uzumaki look a little amazed. These pirates looked too outrageous!

It's like she was just randomly born!

Kaido's eyes hardened slightly as he saw Naruto wandering around Onigashima: "Those guys actually sent this brat..."

"Um?"

Queen the Plague looked at Naruto with some surprise, and couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "It's that brat! Big brother, he's really strong... I've always suspected he has some kind of Mythical Zoan ability!"

"Hmph, that's normal..."

Kaido tilted his head back and took a swig of sake, then watched Naruto Uzumaki walk over and said slowly in a deep voice, "That brat seems to have some status..."

After Kaido joined the Akatsuki, he witnessed Naruto Uzumaki and Kaguya Otsutsuki interacting and overheard their conversation.

That guy is Naruto Uzumaki…

He is Princess Kaguya's grandson.

Damn it, what kind of mess is this?!

In any case, this is something Kaido cannot refuse.

Besides, it's better for the seemingly silly Naruto Uzumaki to join the Beast Pirates than for that murderous bastard Obito Uchiha!

To welcome Naruto Uzumaki, who is suspected to be a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, Kaido held a banquet on Onigashima, also to boost morale.

Everyone had a good time on the first day.

The next day, Kaido learned why Naruto Uzumaki had joined the Beasts Pirates: Naruto wanted to train with him for a period of time, mainly to learn the three types of Haki.

Are all the members of Akatsuki... insane?

Aren't these guys being incredibly insulting?

How dare he let Kaido, the Emperor of the Sea, teach a kid the three types of Haki? Does he really think that he, one of the Four Emperors, has no temper?

Besides, do they really think being domineering is that simple?

Haki needs to be awakened, it can't be learned simply by being taught, especially since only one in a million people possesses Conqueror's Haki!

That brat Naruto Uzumaki really does have...

This world is too outrageous! How could this seemingly silly blond kid awaken Conqueror's Haki? Even after Naruto Uzumaki awakened Observation Haki, his sensory range was greater than Kaido's!

What a monster!

The only problem was with Armament Haki.

After all, mastering Armament Haki requires stamina and years of combat experience. Kaido's teaching methods were brutal; he simply found a deserted island in the New World and fought Naruto Uzumaki for ten days and ten nights using taijutsu and Armament Haki...

At first, Kaido did have a lot of fun fighting, and Naruto was just a punching bag. But under Kaido's pressure, Naruto quickly awakened his Armament Haki...

then…

Kaido lost.

Kaido has lost quite a few times this year.

Especially losing in what they do best...

As one of the Four Emperors with the strongest recovery ability, Kaido always believed that no one could match his endurance, until he encountered the monster Naruto Uzumaki…

In this world, "monster" is a term of praise and positive connotation.

"Hmph, you young brats are really scary!"

Kaido lay on the island, gazing at the sky, and said in a deep voice, "Your Armament Haki has only just awakened, yet it's already more powerful than mine..."

"Hahahaha..."

Naruto Uzumaki lay on the ground, awkwardly scratching his head: "Kurama learned to convert chakra into Haki, so he can provide me with Haki too!"

This isn't Kaido's fault.

After all, Naruto Uzumaki also has the Nine-Tails as a power-up.

Naruto glanced at Kaido beside him and suddenly asked, "Mr. Kaido, I heard you've met Sasuke before..."

"That arrogant brat..."

"Hahaha, Sasuke's just has a bad temper!"

"..."

The two had a good chat.

It has to be said that Naruto Uzumaki's personality is quite infectious.

Kaido also believes that if Naruto Uzumaki were to set sail, he has the potential to become the Pirate King, and that his personality shares the same naivety as Roger and Whitebeard…

If the Akatsuki organization hadn't existed, and Kaido had simply encountered Naruto Uzumaki, he would definitely have made Naruto his subordinate, taken him along to search for the One Piece, and would have been willing to use any means necessary to recruit him.

Unfortunately…

The world has the Akatsuki organization.

Behind Naruto Uzumaki stands a god and a group of people.

While Kaido and Naruto were talking about Sasuke Uchiha, the Whitebeard Pirates were also discussing a major event.

Just as Yakushi Kabuto predicted…

This pirate crew wants to return to Fishman Island.

After Sasuke Uchiha and Portgas D. Ace returned to the Whitebeard Sea, these people finally put helping Jinbe and the Fishman Pirates reclaim Fishman Island on their agenda.

This is something that cannot be changed in any way.

If Whitebeard's flag could be pulled down so easily, then these pirates would be utterly incompetent!

For the pirate crew…

That fluttering pirate flag was their most treasured possession!

After Kisame Hoshigaki pulled down the Whitebeard Pirates' flag and declared Fishman Island as his territory, their hostile relationship became irreversible!

Moreover…

No one can stop them on this vast ocean!

Even the Beasts Pirates and Kaido, both of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, are no match for them. Even the Navy can only resort to despicable tricks to deal with them...

Kill Kisame Hoshigaki...

Whitebeard's pirate flag was planted back on Fishman Island!

To declare to the whole world that no one can invade the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates—that is the prestige of the world's strongest pirate crew!

Third update!

Time to sleep!
