Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 92 You can't be the leader of Amegakure!

"interesting."

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, watched Uehara Naraku's battle, clapped his hands, and praised, "As expected of Amegakure's new generation of genius ninja. Just that fluid and effortless battle is enough to qualify him to succeed Hanzo as leader..."

"What kind of words just pop out of your mouth?"

Uehara Naraku glanced at Rasa speechlessly, then couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "Lord Kazekage, have you ever heard of me?"

"..."

Luo Sha felt his blood rush to his head and thought that Uehara was incompetent.

Rasa was extremely stingy with praising his enemies.

His praise of a genius ninja like Uehara was not without ulterior motives.

Because Rasa was very clear about the inheritance system of small ninja villages, which was all based on family hereditary succession, unlike the major ninja villages where there was still some dignity in the master-disciple succession.

The Uehara Naraku before them was not wearing the protective mask unique to the Salamander clan, so he was clearly not a member of Hanzo's clan and was definitely not destined to inherit the position of Amegakure leader.

As long as Uehara Naraku denies that he is not qualified to inherit Amegakure, Rasa will press his advantage and entice Uehara Naraku to defect and join their Sunagakure.

After all, this kid has already demonstrated his usefulness.

How can an ordinary ninja from a small country's ninja village compare to the position and training resources of a ninja from one of the five great countries' ninja villages?

The problem is that Rasa doesn't know that Hanzo of the Salamander is dead, nor does he know Uehara Naraku's recent worries, that Nagato and Konan have designated him as the sole heir of Amegakure!

Uehara was really worried about this!

And even if he really did defect, he would definitely look down on Sunagakure.

Which overpowered ninja, once a rogue ninja, would be willing to join a bloodline ninja who betrayed their own village and, incidentally, surrendered faster than anyone else in the Sand Village?

"I've never heard of you before. Is it because you were too ruthless, killing many of our village's secret agents?"

Rasa's expression gradually turned cold. He no longer concealed his covetousness for Uehara and said bluntly, "Let me be frank. A genius ninja like you can't stay in Amegakure for long. Sooner or later, you'll be assassinated by Hanzo of the Salamander, who's only interested in maintaining his power!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Uehara Naraku couldn't help but glance at Rasa. The Fourth Kazekage had sharp eyes, seeing through the true nature of the elderly Hanzo at a glance.

However, as a Rain Village ninja, Uehara Naraku could not tolerate anyone insulting Hanzo; this was the code of conduct for a Rain Village ninja!

Uehara stared at the Fourth Kazekage, a look of anger flashing across his face: "How dare you insult Lord Hanzo!"

"That's just the kind of person he is!"

Rasa waved his hand dismissively, as if looking at an immature child, and said coldly, "If I were to sign a five-year peace treaty with Amegakure right now, and the condition is that you be killed, Hanzo of the Salamander certainly wouldn't show any mercy!"

After saying that, Rasa continued, "Don't argue with me. You should know the weight of Sunagakure and the weight of an ordinary ninja in Hanzo's heart."

The Fourth Kazekage was right.

If killing one person could secure a five-year peace treaty with Sunagakure, Hanzo of the Salamander would show no mercy and might even send someone to deliver that person's head to the Fourth Kazekage's desk.

Unfortunately, he was facing Uehara Naraku.

A man who personally killed Hanzo the Salamander.

Uehara Naraku can now roam freely in Amegakure without any problems.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, seeing Uehara's expression, revealed his true colors: "Leave this weak country and join Sunagakure! Only Sunagakure can accommodate your talent, and I will provide you with ample resources and money!"

"...Just you guys?"

A mocking smile appeared on Uehara Naraku's face.

Doesn't the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, know who he is?

This guy is a Kazekage who betrayed Pakura's Scorching Release to let Kirigakure vent its anger, in exchange for a shameful peace!

Uehara Naraku chuckled, a purple chakra broadsword floating beside him. He said, "Besides, if I kill you now, you definitely won't be able to get Lord Hanzo to betray me, right?"

"Don't you understand what I mean?"

Rasa frowned again, his face grim. "Even without me, you'd be killed by Hanzo of the Salamander sooner or later! Amegakure isn't a place for geniuses!"

"No!"

Uehara Naraku looked at Rasa mockingly, reached out and grasped the purple broadsword, and said, word by word, "Lord Hanzo will surely believe in my loyalty..."

"..."

Looking at Uehara's actions, Luo Sha felt a surge of anger.

Damn, this kid's insane!

No, this kid is an idiot!

"Once I've caught you, I'll figure out how to get what I want!"

Rasa manipulated the gold dust on the ground to fly up, and said coldly, "Idiot, you just rushed to fight Shukaku, your chakra and stamina are almost depleted, aren't they?"

"How about... you take a guess?"

Uehara Naraku's figure surged violently!

The purple chakra broadsword drew an arc in his hand and slashed fiercely at the Fourth Kazekage in front of him!

A cloud of gold dust swiftly intercepted Uehara's attack.

Compared to the sand manipulated by Gaara, the gold dust manipulated by Rasa is heavier and has a stronger defensive capability.

The overwhelming amount of placer gold rushes towards Uehara!

Whether it's attack, defense, or movement, Magnet Release: Gold Sand has an unparalleled advantage in battle compared to other bloodlines, which is the source of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa's confidence.

"That's quite agile!"

Uehara Naraku dodged the attack of the gold dust, only to see the gold dust scattered into strands that surrounded him.

With no time to dodge, Uehara could only helplessly swing his chakra broadsword, scattering strands of gold dust!

No matter how Uehara scattered the gold dust, it would eventually be manipulated by Rasa's chakra and chase after him again.

Rasa stood proudly on the sand mat, watching Uehara Naraku charging around: "Kid, you can't escape the shackles of the gold dust. Surrender obediently!"

Luo Sha was almost certain of victory.

He is the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, possessing the Magnet Release technique passed down from the Third Kazekage. How could he possibly be unable to defeat a mere teenager?

"My ultimate technique! Mist Formation!"

Uehara Naraku glanced at Rasa, and a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared around him, concealing his figure within the smoke and causing Sakin to lose his target.

Uehara's chakra, which he had just used up, was rapidly replenished.

"Thank you for your time, Lord Fengying..."

Uehara Naraku's gaze fell on his skill panel, where both the skills with long cooldowns, Divine Judgment and Roaring Tide, were now lit up again.

If you encounter a difficult enemy, then have a chat with them.

In this ninja world, mastering a few lines of verbal sparring can't hurt.

"Did they hide in the smoke?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Rasa's eyes. The sand gold was surrounded by smoke, but he couldn't pinpoint Uehara Naraku's location.

Rasa instantly noticed the strangeness of the smoke. The smoke array released by Uehara was even more sophisticated than the Hidden Mist Technique of Kirigakure, and it could perfectly conceal a person's location.

"Hmph, then I'll just let the gold dust surround the entire smokescreen!"

The gold dust rapidly gathered around the smoke, forming a sphere under Luo Sha's manipulation, and quickly seeped into the smoke.

Just at this time.

A purple energy ray pierced through the gold dust!

This purple energy ray sliced ​​the gold dust sphere into pieces, just like a cutter!

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was also caught off guard and struck by the purple energy ray, a burning sensation appearing in the area touched by the energy ray.

At that moment, a feeling of unease welled up in Luo Sha's heart.

For a split second just now, Luo Sha even felt that he was about to be annihilated!
