Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 747: Making people experience endless pain in a loop, is that how you used the Time Stone?

Uehara Naraku has a good grasp of the theory.

The only problem is that Uehara Naraku's thinking is too unpredictable, even making someone as gentle as the Ancient One feel a bit of a migraine...

Is it really the right choice to hand over the power of the Time Stone to Uehara Naraku now? Won't it cause the universe to be destroyed prematurely?

This person's thinking is dangerous!

No, that's not right. This person's thoughts have always been dangerous!

The Ancient One couldn't help but start thinking. According to Uehara Naraku's way of thinking, if Uehara Naraku reversed time for a small thing in the future, his present self would definitely be confused about why the universe would start over again and again.

fortunately.

Uehara Naraku still knew what was important.

Don't worry.

Uehara Naraku smiled slightly, trying to calm the Ancient One: "I won't use the Time Stone for such a small matter. This power to manipulate time should be used where it's most appropriate..."

"That's good…"

The Ancient One finally breathed a sigh of relief.

however…

The Ancient One quickly realized that he had breathed a sigh of relief too soon.

A smile appeared on Uehara Naraku's face as he confidently declared, "I have now found the best way to use the Time Stone!"

Uehara Naraku clenched his fist tightly: "If someone doesn't have memories reversed by the Time Stone, I can reverse time, return to the same point in time, and use different methods and excuses to win them over, getting the best outcome for me!"

"..."

The Ancient One fell silent again.

The Supreme Mage looked up helplessly at Uehara Naraku's expression and said softly, "This method is too dangerous; it's not the correct way to use it..."

If you really want it, you can use the Time Stone to observe the future and directly find the best option you want from countless possible futures.

All we need to do is observe the future!

Why do we have to reverse time and start over?! This guy is trying to treat the entire universe like a game, reloading save files and starting over!

The reason why their Sorcerer Supreme is always on the right side is that he observes countless futures through the Infinity Stones and thus finds the best one!

certainly…

The main issue is that many things will change in the future, and unexpected events are very likely to occur.

If something unexpected really happens, then using the Time Stone to reverse the timeline isn't out of the question, but it doesn't seem like a big deal!

If someone isn't even immune to the rules of the Time Stone, they're definitely no match for Uehara Naraku, so there's no need to go to such lengths, right?

"Okay, you have a point."

After slowly nodding, confidence returned to his face: "It seems there's only one other use..."

A dangerous smile slowly crept onto Uehara Naraku's lips: "If someone possesses memories reversed by the Time Stone, like Dormammu..."

Uehara Naraku slowly opened his palm, then slowly clenched it: "If I want him to submit to Akatsuki, then I'll just kill him, then use the Time Stone to reverse the timeline and let him start over, so he can experience endless pain..."

As he finished speaking, Uehara Naraku's eyes even gleamed slightly: "Perfect... I can still experience endless joy... The Time Stone... is much more useful than Tsukuyomi or any of those illusions!"

There are many people in the universe who can resist illusions.

However, they cannot contend with the power of the Time Stone.

If these people can defy the rules of the Time Stone and retain their memories from before the timeline was reversed, then they will face endless beatings from Uehara Naraku…

have to say.

This method is exactly the same as the way Uehara Naraku recruited people into the Akatsuki organization back then. Yakushi Kabuto, Mihawk, and Doflamingo were killed and resurrected by Uehara Naraku time and time again...

like…

Using the Time Stone in this situation would be a bit of a waste.

No, that's not right, and it's not a waste either.

Because in this universe, anyone who can retain their memories during the time reversal using the Time Stone can, for them, continue to exist after death...

Moreover, compared to manipulating and rewriting death, Uehara Naraku's manipulation of time seems to be a more sophisticated approach.

"..."

The Ancient One remained silent.

Because this Supreme Master really didn't know what to say... How could he come up with such a way to beat someone up? Is this Uehara Naraku a devil?

How can there be such a person!

Is the Time Stone really used like this?

It makes people experience being beaten to death again and again!

Is this really something a single person could do?

"Lord Gu Yi."

Uehara Naraku's gaze fell on the Ancient One, a sincere smile appearing on his face: "Could the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme of this era, disregard the rules of the Time Stone and retain the memories of reversing the timeline?"

"..."

The Ancient One was startled.

Upon hearing Uehara Naraku's words, the Ancient One seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and her expression became somewhat strange.

This guy…

Could it be that they're planning to use the Time Stone to deal with her?

"Don't worry, I'm just curious."

Uehara Naraku spoke up to soothe the Ancient One's emotions, then smiled and continued, "I've always been confident that you would make the right choice... but sometimes, people need a little help to get on the right path."

"..."

A hint of helplessness appeared on the Ancient One's face.

Uehara Naraku really wants to do that!

"If you really think about it, using the power of the Time Stone to endlessly cycle through a person's death is nothing short of torture for that person..."

When the Ancient One finished speaking, she looked at Uehara Naraku and sighed softly: "Everyone, without exception, has experienced hardships that others cannot imagine..."

"The way you die will be different."

Uehara Naraku interrupted the Ancient One, continuing softly, "I can arrange countless ways to die. Sooner or later, I'll make these people find a death and pain they can no longer endure. And the real purpose is just for me to experience the pleasure of killing them..."

"..."

That guy, Uehara Naraku…

How do you always come up with ways to mess with other people?

Ancient One's expression grew increasingly eerie, and her voice gradually lowered: "You have already done more than enough to get me to join Akatsuki."

Honestly, if he weren't outmatched by Uehara Naraku, the leader of Akatsuki would have been killed tens of thousands of times over by now...

Perhaps Uehara Naraku's only redeeming quality is that he doesn't intentionally target the weak; he always prefers to lure out a powerful enemy and subject him to physical and psychological torture...

exactly.

The Ancient One knew his place.

As a Sorcerer Supreme, she happened to be among those tormented by Uehara Naraku, and before she joined Akatsuki, her life was indeed difficult…

After a moment of contemplation, the Ancient One looked at Uehara Naraku and said, "If you are willing to be more honest, you may gain something beyond your imagination."

"Really?"

Uehara Naraku had some doubts.

If he were to reveal his true identity to the Avengers now, it would likely cause many to break down, and would most likely provoke their condemnation...

and so…

Let's keep it a secret for a while longer!

The Ancient One was unaware of Uehara Naraku's thoughts, and simply said softly, "The Time Stone has been delivered to you, and my mission is now complete... Your Excellency, I shall take my leave."

Before leaving, the Ancient One gave Uehara Naraku a deep look: "Perhaps, you could try to be a little kinder to this world..."

Be friendly...

It's not that they're genuinely friendly.

I just hope that Uehara Naraku will stop doing things that are inhuman.

good night!
