Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 605 I arranged your lives just to make you guys quit the game!

When Flying Squirrel received the message, he was still somewhat confused.

Why is this said to be Uehara Naraku's conspiracy? What exactly happened? Wait, it seems that Touch Me and the others have all gone to the capital of the Bahars Empire!

Because they wanted to log off and leave the game!

The next moment, Ainz Ooal Gown regained his senses and hurriedly began to contact Touch Me, wanting to get the truth out of Touch Me. At least he wanted to know what had happened from his friend!

The Imperial Square of the Bahars Empire.

Hundreds of thousands of players lay sprawled on the ground.

When they first gathered here, they thought they would receive a big gift from the game company, but what awaited them was not compensation or rewards... but an attack by Uehara Naraku with his overwhelming power!

Standing at the highest point of the plaza, Uehara Naraku looked down at the players below and calmly stated what they believed to be the truth: "You don't really think this is a game world, do you? This has always been a real world. Every NPC you think you know is actually a living, breathing human being!"

"..."

A group of players lay helplessly on the ground.

However, every player could not hide the surprise in their eyes.

Even though there were too many of them who had transmigrated, and they retained their game abilities, any doubts that arose were quickly dismissed...

Because they can be resurrected in this world!

Moreover, they had seen NPCs here perform resurrection skills at great cost. How could resurrection exist in the real world?

Is life and death reversible?

the most important is…

Transmigrating from a game world to another world sounds unbelievable, especially when hundreds of thousands of people are transported here at the same time.

The problem is...

He learned these things from Uehara Naraku, and now he seemed to have no reason to deceive them, since hundreds of thousands of players had already been crushed to the ground by his aura.

If this were a real world... would these players who transmigrated to another world still be able to go back?

"I've known about the existence of this world for the past twelve years."

Uehara Naraku looked down at all the players on the ground and calmly continued, "At that time, I knew that the YGGDRASIL game world was actually connected to another dimension, and that it was even possible to bring all the items and abilities from that game world here..."

"Therefore, starting twelve years ago, I created a world-class NPC named after myself, raising my game stats to a level that no one could defeat, thus allowing me to maintain absolute dominance in this world..."

"..."

Each player's expression changed.

Twelve years ago, not long after the launch of the YGGDRASIL game, the game company suddenly carried out a large-scale update, after which a new world-class boss, Uehara Naraku, appeared in the game world.

Even until the game shut down, no player had ever been able to defeat this world-class boss, and there was no being in the game that Uehara Naraku could not defeat…

Later, I learned that Uehara was the president of a game company…

Players jokingly said that the game company's programmers created the BOSS to please the president, never imagining that the powerful world BOSS was actually a body prepared for Uehara Naraku himself!

To conquer this world…

He had already prepared himself for a formidable role!

"I remember now..."

Bubble Teapot was covered in cold sweat, and her delicate voice carried a hint of fear: "When I went to the game company... I think someone mentioned that... the world-class boss Uehara Naraku was almost entirely modeled after the game company president..."

"Don't be afraid..."

Peroroncino comforted his sister.

Ulbert looked up at Uehara Naraku, who was floating at the highest point of the Imperial Capital Square: "So what he had the game company update back then wasn't actually a world-class boss, but a body that the game company president used to conquer..."

"Did you start preparing back then?"

A hint of confusion gradually appeared on Jade Record's face, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "But what's the point of that? Why would he want to live in another world?"

"Strength, life, power, status."

Touch Mee responded calmly, saying in a low voice, "Because in the real world, no matter how noble his status is, he cannot stand at the top of that world... Only in this lawless zone can he rely on his own power to obtain everything."

Touch Mee's mind was very sharp. He quietly continued to search for reasons for Uehara Naraku: "If we can bring our race and profession into this world as well, it also means that our lifespan will be greatly extended. He can live forever in this world..."

If someone gives him a chance…

The chance to conquer a world and gain immortality!

Tachi Mi didn't know if he could resist such temptation!

Even a winner in life like him can't help but doubt his own conscience, let alone others. Many people struggling in the real world are already filled with regret at this moment...

If we had known the truth beforehand…

Those players will definitely retain their levels and equipment, and start a new life in this other world, a life of success!

"Unfortunately."

Uehara Naraku gazed at the players on the ground and calmly continued, "There are things in the YGGDRASIL game world that can threaten me, namely world-class items that a group of people released to increase the fun..."

"Therefore, I have been secretly plotting to reclaim any World-Class items in the YGGDRASIL game world that could threaten my conquest of this world, until I obtained the two most powerful World-Class items, the Eternal Serpent Ring and the World Will, before I publicly met you in the game..."

"Only after obtaining these two items did I begin to use you to reclaim the other World Items, until I had all the World Items in my possession, ensuring that this world posed no threat to me..."

"..."

The players' expressions betrayed a hint of regret.

These people seemed to have once been able to stop Uehara Naraku, but gradually, because Uehara Naraku's abilities were easier to manipulate, they thought of using a world-class item to get Uehara Naraku to work for them. They never expected to become Uehara Naraku's accomplices...

During the most brutal guild wars, Uehara Naraku collected eleven world-class items in a single day. There were only two hundred world-class items in the entire YGGDRASIL, and Uehara Naraku collected at least ninety-nine percent of them.

Even if there are one or two more...

It is no longer possible for it to pose any threat to Uehara Naraku.

The people who regretted it the most were undoubtedly the members of the Ainz Ooal Gown guild. They were the guild that contributed the most world-class items to Uehara Naraku... Apart from the items that were lost and retrieved during the Cataclysm, they had given away as many as five or six items on their own initiative!

"No need to regret it."

Uehara Naraku slowly began, "Because all the events produced by the game company are prepared with the instruction that you provide me with world-class items as much as possible..."

"In order to obtain more world-class items, I have been pushing various guilds to fight, and every battle teaches you how to use me..."

"Back then, you must have been gloating over how you managed to take advantage of a world-class boss, right? In reality, it was just to eliminate the last threat..."

"hehe…"

One of the players suddenly looked up and burst into laughter at Uehara Naraku, loudly mocking, "After all that talk, it's just about a few items? That sounds so petty, President Uehara!"

"Hahahaha..."

"That's right, that's incredibly stingy!"

"If you had used your position as company president to beg us, we might have given it to you without a second thought!"

"I've really let you down..."

"We thought your game company was trying to take back world-class items for the sake of game balance, but it turns out it was just because of your personal greed..."

"That's so stingy!"

The group of players immediately started making a fuss.

It seems that the courage of the first player who took the lead gave them the courage to taunt Uehara Naraku even in this vulnerable state!

They've always been gamers!

They wouldn't care about world-class items!

If the president of this game company is just repeatedly manipulating the game world for his own selfish desires, then he is really too despicable!

Hiroshi Nohara.

Uehara Naraku stared at the first player who spoke, showing no shame at his sarcasm, and calmly continued, "You wanted to quit the game this July because your company had seventeen returned goods due to quality issues, causing your company to lose a lot of funds due to unsold inventory..."

"..."

A hint of fear crept into the player's expression.

Because Uehara Naraku pronounced his real name!

What I'm saying is something that actually happened in the real world!

The next moment, his expression subtly turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You...investigated me?"

"It's not an investigation."

Uehara Naraku calmly shook his head and continued, "These goods were originally supposed to be received by a subsidiary of a certain group. I simply had them returned, which may have caused you a little trouble..."

After saying all that, Uehara Naraku took out his notebook again and started calling out names one by one: "Koizumi Sa, the rent, electricity bills, and property management fees have gone up a lot, haven't they? Don't even think about it, I'm the one who had them raised, just to make you quit the game..."

"..."

One player's expression suddenly turned speechless.

Uehara Naraku continued slowly, "Suzuki Haruo, your university studies must be suddenly quite demanding. Has your professor assigned you a lot of tasks? Don't worry about it, I arranged those, all to get you out of the game..."

"..."

Another player's expression froze.

Uehara Naraku turned the page and continued reading: "Kobayashi Heizo, your parents are probably urging you to get married and find a partner again, right? Don't even think about it. I've specially arranged for someone to whisper in their ears, all so that you can leave the game as soon as possible..."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is way too much!"

One player couldn't help but pump his fist: "I'm a very serious non-marriage advocate!"

Uehara Naraku ignored him and continued reading slowly, "Kimura Seigo, if I remember correctly, your business should be getting busier and busier. Don't even think about it. To keep you busy, I specially had someone give your boss a big order and specifically asked you to be in charge, just to get you out of the game..."

"Well…"

One player's expression turned somewhat strange; he even bowed to Uehara Naraku: "I'm grateful... but could it really just be to make me leave the game?"

"..."

The players in the square became noisy again.

Everyone began to involuntarily recall the troubles they had in real life. Could all of these things have been arranged by Uehara Naraku?

but…

Just to get them to leave the game? That's too much trouble!

No, that's going too far! Who would cause real-world trouble just to make players leave the game?!

One of the female players suddenly stood up and shouted, "Hey, Uehara Naraku, my ex-boyfriend broke up with me, could this be related to you...?"

"Don't rush."

Uehara Naraku flipped through his notebook and slowly said, "I remember quite a few couples who broke up did so because the other person had many girlfriends or boyfriends..."

"..."

The expressions of many young men and women in the square changed slightly; clearly, they had all recently broken up, and many were still grieving the pain of heartbreak…

"Uh, thank you, keep the look."

The female player lay back down, looking embarrassed.

The players in the square all cast questioning glances at the female player; clearly, they knew the truth without needing much explanation.

"Alright, I wonder how long this will take..."

Uehara Naraku put away his notebook, looked at the many players in the square, and his face turned grim again: "Because of your presence, this world becomes too unpredictable, so I want you to leave the game at all times..."

"I painstakingly created a cataclysmic event in the game world, even going so far as to arrange everything for you in reality, all so that you could leave the game world and allow me to find peace in this independent world..."

"..."

While Uehara Naraku was still rambling on and on.

Many players in the square gradually calmed down.

Although Uehara Naraku went to great lengths to arrange their lives in order to get them to quit the game, he doesn't seem to have done anything really bad!

Touch Me gazed at Uehara Naraku in the sky and slowly fell into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, he finally chose to contact Ainz Ooal Gown again.

"Crisis averted."

"Although Uehara Naraku's schemes are somewhat terrifying, I initially thought he was a horrible guy, but now it seems..."

"Uehara Naraku seems to be a good person."
