Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 71 Who sent you to save me!

"Secret Technique! Dusk Blade..."

Uehara Naraku slowly opened his palm, and a broad purple chakra blade appeared beside him, looking crystal clear yet exceptionally sharp.

She's kind of likable.

A group of determined Konoha Root ninjas died at the hands of Uehara Naraku, but this led to a rewarding inheritance mission for him.

What is a surprise?

That's what you call a surprise!

But now is not the time to celebrate, because Konan's battle is not over yet, although Uehara believes that the battle is not far from over.

How could these Konoha Root ninja possibly stand a chance against Konan?

"destiny…"

Uehara Naraku murmured to himself, and sure enough, Zetsu's portrait appeared on the Destiny panel.

Jue was indeed still following them!

What exactly is this guy plotting?

It's a pity that Jue is still hiding underground, and we don't know what he's up to. Is he just there to monitor them?

Underground.

White Zetsu, sensing the battle above, murmured, "That kid Uehara Naraku finished the fight too quickly, killing two teams of ninjas in less than half a minute... If we go out now, won't he find us?"

"No rush."

Black Zetsu sighed and said, "Wait a little longer. When the battle gets a little chaotic, secretly slip the intelligence scroll into a corpse."

Since Zetsu wouldn't show himself, Uehara Naraku couldn't just break through the ground and pull them out, so he could only turn his attention to Konan's battle.

Konan's figure danced gracefully in the air, dodging one ninjutsu and ranged ninja tool after another, and gently descended towards the location of the Konoha ninja!

Uehara actually thought it was kind of nice.

No wonder Madara Uchiha was always shouting to dance…

Some ninjas are much more entertaining to watch when they fight than when they dance!

"The Art of Mind Transference!"

Just then, Yamanaka Kaze, who had been observing the battle from a corner, suddenly spotted an opportunity. He made a sudden, pointed attack on Konan, who was flying down from the side!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment!

The situation reversed in the next second.

The ninja world always has some strange and mysterious techniques that can turn the tide in desperate situations and allow the underdog to defeat the strong.

Suddenly, Xiao Nan plummeted straight down from mid-air!

The Mountain Clan's Mind Transfer Technique, once it hits, immediately strips the enemy of control over their body; those with strong spiritual energy can even control the enemy's body.

"The teacher messed up..."

Seeing this, Uehara Naraku was both amused and exasperated. He leaped into the air and rushed towards Konan, intending to catch her from the sky.

Unexpectedly, when Uehara embraced Konan, Konan opened her eyes, stared directly at Uehara Naraku, and roared, "You guys, don't underestimate the ninjas of Konoha!"

Suddenly, a paper spear shot out from Xiao Nan's hand and pierced towards Shang Yuan's chest!

Xiao Nan was controlled by the Mind Transfer Technique!

Uehara was startled and instinctively tried to activate the invincibility of the Holy Judgment to block the sneak attack, and then punch the blue-haired woman next to him away!

He has far too many skills to handle this situation.

However, remembering Xiao Nan's attitude towards him...

Uehara felt the warmth and softness of Konan's waist with his palm, gritted his teeth and avoided the paper spear's fatal point, letting the paper spear pierce through his shoulder.

Even if he was unintentionally hurt in the battle, a teacher, overwhelmed by guilt, would surely not refuse his disciple's request, right?

Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, but tricks can win people's hearts.

Uehara Naraku sighed inwardly. Who told Konan to be so strict with him?

Is he going to trade the injury on his shoulder for a red-cloud-patterned black robe?

Or would it be in exchange for the right to freely watch the Intimate Paradise?

Only children make choices; Uehara Naraku, of course, chooses to have it all!

Yamanaka Fu's Mind-Turning Technique couldn't last long, especially since the power of Konan, whom he chose to control, far exceeded his expectations.

Xiao Nan quickly regained consciousness.

After the woman's eyes regained their clarity, she did not move her body, allowing Uehara Naraku to help her land on the ground.

After the two landed safely, Konan's gaze slowly moved, passing over the forced smile on Uehara Naraku's face, and landing on the wound on Uehara's shoulder caused by the paper spear.

The blue-haired woman's gaze gradually became complicated.

Is it guilt?

Is it heartache?

No, it's fear!

The next moment!

"Who told you to risk your life to save me!"

Xiao Nan suddenly raised her palm!

She was about to slap Uehara across the face!

"Teacher Xiao Nan?"

Uehara Naraku looked at Konan's actions with a confused and dazed expression. He couldn't quite understand how this plot was developing.

He risked his life to save her!

Even if you don't give him a comforting gift, you should at least try to soothe him with gentle words!

The next second, Konan stopped what she was doing, slowly squatted down and hugged Uehara Naraku's shoulders, tears welling in her eyes and falling onto his shoulder: "I'm sorry..."

"Wind Release: Wind Blows Through the Blaze!"

"Wind Release: Sky-Slicing Wave!"

The Konoha ninjas did not give up the opportunity, and shuriken and ninjutsu flew towards Uehara Naraku and Konan.

Konan's body instantly transformed into sheets of white paper, quickly forming a paper shield that blocked all the incoming wind-style ninjutsu and shuriken.

The paper shields quickly scattered again!

Countless sheets of white paper fluttered about as if swept up by a raging wind!

The Root ninjas of Konoha were instantly surrounded by rings made of wads of white paper!

"Die!"

Konan's angry voice could be faintly heard through the white paper. Countless sheets of paper were folded and transformed into paper shuriken, which shot densely towards the group of Root ninjas.

Inside the circle, every Konoha ninja tried to defend themselves in horror, but there were paper shuriken all around, leaving no room to dodge or defend.

Each paper shuriken returns to the circle after each attack, repeating the cycle endlessly.

Paper shuriken pierced through the enemy's body, leaving behind a trail of blood, quickly turning the entire circular paper array a blood-red mess!

A moment later, the ninjas fell silent.

No, there is still one person alive.

Mountain wind.

The captain of the Konoha Root ninja, a close confidant of Shimura Danzo, stared in fear and unease at the origami fluttering around him.

"How should I kill you?"

Xiao Nan appeared in front of Shan Zhongfeng with a gloomy voice. A paper spear reappeared in her hand, and she forcefully pinned Shan Zhongfeng to the ground!

As Shan Zhongfeng surveyed the corpses of his companions, a look of fear and anger flashed across his face. His first thought was to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

Click!

Yamanaka Fu's chin was shattered by Xiao Nan's kick!

"Teacher...information..."

Uehara Naraku, who was in the distance, noticed this scene and stopped the angry Konan.

Uehara is currently having Haku symbolically bandage his wounds. If Haku had been a little slower, his injuries might have healed by now.

After all, the Berserker Armor has a very fast life energy recovery rate.

Upon hearing Uehara's words, Konan stopped what she was doing, and her rationality gradually began to return.

"I see."

Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief, the anger, worry, and lingering fear in her heart gradually dissipating. Her hands quickly closed as she began to form hand seals: "Ninja Art: Summoning Technique... Human Path!"
