Behind the Scenes in Naruto World - Chapter 121
“I can go wherever I want!”
Uehara punched Orochimaru’s head away. He looked at Sakura and Sasuke gently. He said, “Fortunately, I arrived in time. Are you all okay?”
“We’re okay.”
Sasuke shook his head. He stood up shakily and looked at Uehara, “Why are you here?”
Sakura quickly stabilized Sasuke and politely nodded to Uehara, “Thank you for saving Sasuke-kun.”
“It’s fine.”
Uehara squinted his eyes and looked at Sasuke with a smile, “I just heard a fierce battle from over here, so I wanted to come and have a look. It turns out that you have encountered an enemy of this level, and I don’t want my Uchiha Itachi killing helper to die here.”
Of course, Uehara was not here out of the kindness of his heart.
After being bitten by Orochimaru on the arm, he also didn’t expect to gain a new attribute and complete a hidden mission.
He had gained a natural energy attribute.
[Hidden Mission: Obtain the power of the curse seal (1/1)]
[Reward: Sage Mode Status: Ascended.]
[Ascended: When your Chakra and natural energy reach the same value, you can enter a new battle mode by synthesizing Sage chakra. Currently in its first form, Ascension.]
Uehara felt that his sage model was not authentic as it was different from the Ninja World’s Sage mode. Normally, synthesizing Sage Chakra and entering Sage Mode required your Chakra, physical energy, and natural energy to be at the same value.
The correct formula for Sage Chakra should be 1+1+1=3.
But his Sage Chakra formula was 1+1=3.
Why was it different?
Forget it. Regardless, he was used to cheating.
Uehara shook his head and glanced at the spot Orochimaru bit. It has turned into a winged shape seal, which he could store natural energy in, a bit like a Yin seal.
Uehara took a peek at his attribute panel again. Currently, his natural energy was full, and he could slowly absorb more after using it.
*****
Life Energy: 9091/9091 (standard Kage’s have 3000 – 10000)
Chakra: 10145/10145 (outside of standard ranges)
Natural Energy: 10145/10145 (outside of standard ranges)
Life Energy Recovery: 9/s
Chakra recovery: 6/s
Natural Energy Extraction: 6 per second
Skill cooldown reduction: 50%
Remaining gold coins: 4430
*****
Uehara’s Chakra had increased a bit, and after eating a few bowls of Ichiraku Ramen, his life energy has also increased by several hundred points.
As for his increase in gold coins, it was gained from a bunch of ordinary missions he completed in Konoha.
Damn, he regretted it.
Starting in Konoha would have been the right choice!
Uehara sighed, and the most important thing to do now was to deal with Orochimaru and Team 7.
After Uehara rescued Sasuke, he felt ashamed and awkward and couldn’t help but snorted coldly.
Uehara didn’t care about Sasuke’s attitude. He just raised his head and glanced at Orochimaru, then smiled and said, “Uchiha Sasuke, if you can’t easily defeat Orochimaru, then you are far from being Itachi’s opponent!”
“What did you say!”
Of course, Sasuke couldn’t stand this kind of stimulation and said coldly. “I will definitely kill that man!”
Sakura raised her head and looked at Uehara suspiciously, “Wait, uh… do you know this person?”
“Orochimaru can be ranked first among the three legendary Sannin. He is also one of Konoha’s three S-rank missing-nin who haven’t been caught.”
The smile on Uehara’s face grew thicker, and he continued softly, “I have to also mention that among the three missing-nin, Orochimaru is the weakest. This guy is trash who Itachi defeated with just a look…”
“…”
Hearing Uehara’s words, Sasuke fell into shock and involuntarily turned his head to look at Orochimaru. He couldn’t believe that Orochimaru, who had ravaged their Team 7 just now, was defeated by Itachi’s glance.
The gap between them was too big…
Orochimaru heard Uehara’s ridicule, but he didn’t seem to care about it. It’s normal for ninjas like them to coexist and restrain each other, and Orochimaru felt that Itachi restrained him.
Orochimaru tore off his fake face little by little, revealing his true face. He slowly said, “Naraku-kun, do you want to stop me?”
“I’m just here to save people.”
Uehara moved Sasuke and Sakura behind him and smiled lightly, “It also seems like I can recover the debt you owe.”
Orochimaru tilted his head with confusion, “What do you mean?”
Did this guy forget everything from four years ago!
No, he actually forgot.
With Orochimaru’s character, he would not remember who he owes anything to.
“Orochimaru!”
Uehara slowly closed his palms to form the summoning hand seal and said coldly, “Orochimaru, do you need me to remind you?”
“Bastard!”
Orochimaru’s face suddenly changed, and he continued with a deep voice, “I haven’t completely succeeded in my research. When we meet again next time, I will give you what you want!”
After speaking, he turned and was about to slip away.
Uehara stopped Orochimaru’s movements loudly and reminded him behind his back, “If you dare lie to me, I will make you swallow a thousand copies of it!”
“No problem.”
Orochimaru slipped away without looking back.
Uehara didn’t know whether Orochimaru agreed to swallow a thousand copies or give Uehara the two ninjutsu scrolls.
Sasuke raised his head, looked at Uehara, and said, “You’ve already dealt with that Orochimaru? Who are you to him? He seems to be afraid of you…”
“Oh, he’s afraid of the ninja demigod Hanzo behind me.”
Uehara casually slapped Hanzo’s body with another stick and continued, “Moreover, this guy stole two ninjutsu scrolls from our Ninja Village before. I have been tracking him to recover the scrolls he took…”
This wasn’t technically a lie.
Orochimaru found the Impure World Reincarnation and the Living Corpse Reincarnation during his stay in the Akatsuki. Since he defected, the Impure World Reincarnation and the Living Corpse Reincarnation scrolls should technically belong to the Akatsuki.
What’s more, Orochimaru promised him personally four years ago.
Sasuke frowned and said, “You have a lot of enemies! Uchiha Itachi is your enemy, Orochimaru is your enemy…”
“Uchiha Obito is also my enemy.”
After Uehara helped him complete his words as he chuckled, “It’s a coincidence, your Konoha’s three S-rank missing-nin, all have a grudge with me… I really look forward to you helping me kill Itachi!”
“Itachi… I will definitely kill him!”
Sasuke was determined, and he raised his head curiously and asked, “Do you know information about Uchiha Obito? What kind of person is he?”
“…”
Uehara looked at Sasuke with a weird look. This little guy may have been lonely for too long, and he’s even interested in an Uchiha who suddenly appeared from the Ninja world. Did Sasuke think he was in a similar situation to him?
Uehara made a decisive decision and cut off Sasuke’s fantasy, “I can tell you this. Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi slaughtered the Uchiha clan and defected from Konoha together. What kind of person do you think he is? “
“That bastard!”
Sasuke suddenly clenched his fists, “Whether it’s Uchiha Itachi or Uchiha Obito, I will never let them go!”
“…”
Uehara nodded and looked at the ruin.
Although Uehara hadn’t heard about Obito in a long time, it did not prevent him from continuing to make enemies for him.
Uehara clearly saw that the progress of his main mission increase by 1%. It seems like, as long as the two main characters, Sasuke and Naruto, were carefully fooled, his main mission would progress smoothly.
Uehara glanced at the unconscious Naruto, and an unknown smile flashed across his mouth.
If someone looked into Uehara’s eyes, they would realize that they looked like a miner who found a diamond.
