Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 519 Uehara Naraku's Plot

Moby Dick.

Sakura Haruno left shyly.

After seeing Sakura off, Uchiha Sasuke returned to the ship.

The pirates on the ship looked at Uchiha Sasuke, and everyone couldn't help but whistle at him, filling the entire Moby Dick with jubilation.

After Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard, exposed the relationship between Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, most of the pirates could already see it.

Sasuke Uchiha frowned, looking at the white-bearded man and saying, "Hey, old man, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yeah?"

A smile crept across the white-bearded man's lips. He slowly shook his head and turned to look at Marco beside him: "Gurararara... Marco, youth is wonderful, isn't it?"

"Yes, Dad!"

Marco couldn't help but smirk.

The captains on the Moby Dick quickly surrounded Uchiha Sasuke, each with a smile on their face.

"Hey, Sasuke, when are we getting married?"

"The Moby Dick is ready to host a wedding anytime!"

"Even if you've had a baby, it's okay. We had two babies on this ship before, and we can help take care of them!"

"Miss Haruno Sakura is so cute, let's get married soon! You're twenty years old now, a mature adult!"

"..."

The captains took turns teasing Sasuke.

Even Portgas D. Ace couldn't help but laugh: "If the child is born, I'll definitely be his godfather!"

"You bunch of guys..."

Sasuke Uchiha's expression turned a little grim. He couldn't help but rub his forehead and said, "Shut up first!"

"Hmm, that's strange..."

Ace wasn't going to listen. He couldn't help but stroke his chin: "I remember Sasuke mentioning Sakura Haruno occasionally. Isn't she your and Naruto's comrade?"

to be honest…

Ace was able to remember thanks to Naruto Uzumaki.

After all, if we were to rank the people that Uchiha Sasuke mentioned most often, the highest-ranking one would definitely be the leader of Akatsuki (that person).

When Sasuke Uchiha mentioned the leader of Akatsuki, he would usually warn Ace not to speak ill of that person, but unfortunately, this often had the opposite effect.

Secondly, there's Naruto Uzumaki. Because the relationship between Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki is complicated, once the past is mentioned, it's impossible to avoid talking about that blond guy.

Next up is Itachi Uchiha. Occasionally, when Ace and Sasuke Uchiha talk about their families, Itachi Uchiha will be mentioned.

Sakura Haruno…

They rarely appear, usually alongside Naruto Uzumaki, so Ace never noticed the romantic relationship between Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno.

"Sakura and I used to be teammates in the same class..."

Sasuke Uchiha's expression grew increasingly grim. He had barely uttered a reply when he angrily snapped, "Didn't I tell you not to talk about this anymore!"

What was he supposed to say?

If Sasuke himself were to say that he was actually very popular with girls when he was at the Konoha Ninja Academy, and Sakura Haruno was just one of them...

It could also be the relatively important one.

"Honestly, you yourself..."

Marco shook his head helplessly, and just as he was about to say something more, he noticed Sasuke Uchiha's displeased expression. He quickly changed the subject: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Is it alright to leave Sakura Haruno on that island?"

"No problem."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded and said in a low voice, "That guy wouldn't let his loyal subordinates get hurt. Maybe Sakura has already been taken away by now..."

When they parted...

Sakura Haruno had already told him that Naraku Uehara was very dissatisfied with his behavior, believing that he had neglected his duty by not reporting the news of the Dark-Dark Fruit in a timely manner.

but…

Everything still came to light from Uehara Naraku.

Uehara Naraku even knows that Teach stole the Dark-Dark Fruit!

"Let's get down to business!"

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at the white-bearded man and said, "Old man, I'm going to hunt down Teach and see if I can retrieve the Dark-Dark Fruit... If Teach eats that fruit, I'll kill him. You guys use this time to find the Dark-Dark Fruit that allows rebirth."

"Sasuke, let me go!"

Ace walked up to Sasuke and said in a deep voice, "Teach is my teammate. He violated an ironclad rule that must never be broken on this ship. I'm going to bring him back!"

"Shut up!"

Sasuke Uchiha glared at Ace.

This time, Ace did not back down as he had done before. He simply said in a low voice, "Sasuke, this is something I can never forgive myself for... If I hadn't underestimated Teach's ambition, Thatch wouldn't have almost died."

"Ace, this isn't your fault."

"Yeah, nobody expected that Teach would actually harm his own comrades for a Devil Fruit!"

"Don't blame yourself too much, Ace!"

"I'm sorry, everyone."

Portgas D. Ace removed his hat and said earnestly, "This is the only time I want to make up for my mistake. My boat is the fastest; I can go by myself. I'll retrieve the Dark-Dark Fruit in no time!"

As the captain of the 2nd division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace's guilt and remorse compelled him to step forward and shoulder this responsibility.

If he hadn't ignored Teach...

The Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't have encountered so much trouble.

"Ace..."

A hint of hesitation appeared on the white-bearded man's face.

The Whitebeard Pirates' agreement with the Akatsuki must be fulfilled, and someone has to do the hunting down of Marshall D. Teach no matter what.

but…

This matter is quite troublesome.

Marshall D. Teach simply hid in the Whitebeard Pirates for so many years, pretending to be an honest man, and no one could see through his true intentions.

It looks like this now…

That guy might be more dangerous than you think!

Whitebeard shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Let's think of other solutions here for the next few days. Don't be too hasty, Ace..."

"Fine, I'll go with Ace!"

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Ace, whose face was full of stubbornness. As the former vice-captain of the Spade Pirates, Sasuke understood Ace's feelings very well.

Sasuke Uchiha looked at the white-bearded man and interrupted him, "Old man, we only have two months. Teach could eat the Dark-Dark Fruit at any time. We can't waste any more time. Let's go!"

"good!"

Ace nodded.

Ace extended his finger, his fingertip tracing a flame that swiftly burned through the ropes binding the Moby Dick, sending the small boat powered by a flamethrower crashing into the sea.

Two figures descended from the air and landed on the small boat!

"Hey, Ace, Sasuke!"

"Wait until Dad finishes speaking!"

"You guys are way too impatient!"

A group of captains rushed to stop them, but all they could see was a ripple of flame as Ace's small boat sped away into the distance.

The white-bearded man's brow remained furrowed. He slowly clenched his fist and ordered in a deep voice, "Marco, we can't sit idly by either. Immediately issue captain's orders to the other ships to hunt down Teach in the New World..."

"yes!"

Marco nodded immediately.

He glanced at the white-bearded man again and said reassuringly, "Dad, don't worry too much. If Sasuke and Ace go together, they won't have any trouble on the way..."

after all…

Uchiha Sasuke possesses combat power comparable to that of the Four Emperors; even a Marine Admiral would be no match for him!

"fine."

The white-bearded man shook his head, his expression still not very good.

Just as Sasuke Uchiha and Ace set off to find Marshall D. Teach, Naraku Uehara also received the news that he and Kizaru were still on their way to Marineford.

Uehara Naraku tapped his fingers on the table and sighed softly, "It seems my time in the Navy won't be long..."

According to information recently received by Uehara Naraku, Marshall D. Teach, the man who orchestrated the outbreak of the Marineford War, has left the Whitebeard Pirates. Uehara Naraku certainly won't let this opportunity slip by.

According to Uehara Naraku's idea...

Marshall D. Teach is the most suitable candidate to be his second boss.

However, joining Teach's pirate crew will probably require some effort; the most suitable place would be Impel Down...

Unaware of Uehara Naraku's thoughts, Kizaru couldn't help but smile: "Oh ho ho... Mr. Uehara, you don't like being in the Marines anymore?"

That would be best...

Otherwise, wouldn't he always have to deal with two bosses?

His official superior is Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha, while his secret superior is Uehara Naraku, the leader of the Akatsuki organization. Having two superiors working together must put too much psychological pressure on him, a mere admiral!

It couldn't be better if Uehara Naraku wanted to leave the Navy!

"Yeah, the navy isn't very interesting."

Uehara Naraku sighed and continued, "Before I leave, there's something I need to do for the Navy..."

"Yeah?"

Kizaru's expression became subtle.

Actually, the navy is completely unnecessary; it's best if they do nothing at all!

However, Uehara Naraku's requests are generally impossible to refuse, regardless of whether he intends to do something truly good or something truly bad...

If anyone dares to refuse Uehara's kindness...

It is said that the world will be filled with malice towards that person!

Uehara Naraku pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Kizaru: "Boltelino, if I help the World Government capture Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, will the Five Elders reward me by letting me kill a few Celestial Dragons to make me happy?"

"..."

Kizaru looked somewhat puzzled.

What exactly is Uehara Naraku thinking?

Capture Dragon, then kill a few more Celestial Dragons?

Which side does Uehara want to take?

"There are some things I don't know whether I should say or not..."

Kizaru hesitated slightly, but he still spoke up: "Drag's situation is more complicated than I thought. If we want to capture him..."

"It doesn't matter..."

Uehara Naraku waved his hand again and whispered, "If we can't capture Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, it doesn't seem to matter if we just grab the number two figure in the Revolutionary Army!"

Uehara Naraku's lips curled up, as if he had thought of something happy, and his fingers tapped the table little by little.

"That really piques my curiosity!"

Uehara Naraku could barely suppress the smile on his lips: "I went to great lengths to get that person to regain their memories..."

"Who?"

Kizaru couldn't understand what Uehara Naraku meant.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Uehara Naraku shook his head without saying anything more. The frequency of his tapping on the table gradually increased, and the smile on his lips became more and more mysterious.

Now that Sabo has regained his memories, he should go to Loguetown with Dragon to see off his sworn brother as he enters the Grand Line, right?

Third update!
