Behind the Scenes in Naruto World - Chapter 151
The Land of Fire.
Konohagakure
Konoha’s Senior Consultants had temporarily resolved all foreign enemies using peaceful means.
Jiraiya went out personally and began supervising Third Hokage’s investigation, looking for the Anbu that claimed to have been monitoring Naruto. He was mainly trying to avoid others finding the Third Hokage’s dark secrets.
This news must not be leaked out!
If it were the thick-skinned guys like the Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Raikage, they wouldn’t care about what the people saw in them. They would do it as long as it was beneficial to the village.
However, the Hokage was different.
It’s just that, no matter how Jiraiya tracked down the Anbu who had been responsible for protecting Naruto, he never found him. So Jiraiya could only temporarily define him as missing-nin.
Unfortunately, Jiraiya also found out a lot about Sarutobi Hiruzen’s dark history, such as secretly supporting Orochimaru’s and Danzo’s experiments while they were in Konoha.
His dark history disintegrated Sarutobi Hiruzen’s facade as a nice old man. At the same time, he found the information about the Anbu who was dedicated to doing Hiruzen’s dark actions.
The information was very detailed.
Curiously, the code name of this Anbu was Orphan.
Konoha’s Senior Consultants and Jiraiya believed that this Anbu, code-named Orphan, might belong to Sarutobi himself and acted alone without any partner.
After all, his code name was Orphan.
Kabuto handed the grilled fish in his hand to Uehara and said, “Naraku-sama, during this time. Konoha has been tracing the Anbu who Naruto heard that night. It seems that the little gift I left for them when we left should be soon discovered.”
“What gift?”
“Some information about the Sandaime-sama dark history.”
Kabuto pushed his glasses meaningfully and said softly, “I have always believed that, as a qualified spy, we must not let people notice the issue of the two people who shouldn’t appear in one place appearing in the same place.
Otherwise, it would be easy to suspect us. Even a little bit of doubt would cause great trouble to us.
Whether it was Orochimaru-sama or Naraku-sama, they have attracted too much hatred due to Konoha’s collapse plan, and I can just use this to make Konoha fall into greater chaos. “
Kabuto wanted to use a bunch of factual evidence to hide his deception. The person who exposed himself up at Naruto’s window that night had to be Hiruzen and an Anbu ninja.
Kabuto did not hide his plan.
Now that Konoha has begun investigating this matter, he would soon arrange for the Anbu code-named Orphan to defect and reveal the news about the dead Hiruzen instigating the Kyuubi Rampage and the killing of the Fourth Hokage and his wife.
After Kabuto talked about his plan, he added a very philosophical saying, “Since you are going to do a show, you must give your all.”
“You are really a talent!”
Uehara sighed. Kabuto arranges everything carefully. He deserves to be the real man behind the scenes in the Ninja World.
Uehara raised his eyebrows suddenly and asked curiously, “Does the Third Hokage really have such a dark history?”
“Yes, Naraku-sama.”
After Kabuto nodded his head and whispered, “How can a Hokage, who has been in charge of Konoha for nearly 40 years, be a kind, old man? Some people love to whitewash their dark history with peace and compassion.”
As a spy, Kabuto knew a lot.
Unfortunately, his subordinate and his high IQ already showed how unqualified Uehara was a behind-the-scenes man. Uehara was just not as careful as Kabuto!
Uehara thought for a while, and he couldn’t help but frown when he realized that his grilled fish had gone cold, “I don’t want to eat it anymore. Konan-sensei in the village makes grilled fish every day, yet here you also make grilled fish for me!”
“Uh…”
Kabuto’s face suddenly became a little embarrassed, “It’s already too late now. I will go to the nearby village to buy some food tomorrow.”
“No need.”
Uehara shook his head and said softly, “I’ll go directly to that guy Kisame. Do your own thing, and don’t let me down.”
“Yes.”
Kabuto bowed his head respectfully, watching the pile of cards slowly appearing at Uehara’s feet and then disappearing in front of him.
After a long time, Kabuto slowly raised his head. Holding the grilled fish, he said regretfully, “Naraku-sama seems to be quite ignorant of world affairs… The stray children in the Land of Fire can only stay in the garbage dump because they can’t fish!”
Kabuto touched the scroll in his ninja bag because Uehara did not take the funds to build the orphanage.
Kabuto couldn’t help sighing and said, “It’s just that compared with Orochimaru-sama, Naraku-sama seems purer!”
In the silent jungle.
Kisame and Itachi marched in Konoha’s direction.
They heard the news about the Konoha Chunin Exam chaos and learned about Sarutobi Hiruzen’s death, but Itachi did not know about Danzo’s death.
Therefore, Itachi planned to return to Konoha and warn Danzo, and along the way, see if his little brother Sasuke was safe.
When passing by a roadside shop, Kisame saw a young man gorging himself until his mouth bulged.
“Itachi.”
Kisame grinned and looked at the young man, “Don’t you think that down-and-out guy looks like our organization’s intern…”
“He really does look similar.”
Itachi raised his head and looked at it carefully for a while. His face suddenly looked a little strange, “Huh? It’s really Uehara Naraku, right? Why is he here?”
This seemed inappropriate.
It was said that this guy had just assassinated Konoha’s Third Hokage and even used the ninja demigod Hanzo’s reputation to force Konoha to sign an alliance agreement.
After this news came out, if Hanzo were really alive, the guy who signed the agreement, Uehara Naraku, would definitely be beheaded.
Whoosh!
A bamboo stick stuck at Kisame’s feet.
Uehara looked at Kisame with a blank face, then stretched out his hand and said, “Kisame-senpai, Itachi-san, let me borrow some money. I’m a little tight on money lately.”
“To be honest, I dare not let you borrow.”
Kisame shook his head quickly, ignoring that he was actually Uehara’s spy, and explained in a low voice, “I can’t bear this responsibility because if anything goes wrong, Konan-senpai will ask me for the details.”
Kisame grinned and continued, “I heard that Tsunade, one of Konoha Sannin, was very active recently in the Land of Fire, so I dare not let you borrow my money…”
“…”
Uehara murmured “Coward” and turned to look at Itachi. If it weren’t for Itachi, he would definitely be grilling a shark fin today.
However, when in private, Kisame would be extremely respectful to Uehara and perfectly portray the attitude of a spy.
But when they met on the outside, Kisame always pretended to be unfamiliar.
Itachi directly avoided the borrowing money talk and instead asked, “Uehara, why are you still here and haven’t returned to Amegakure?”
“I have no traveling expenses!”
Uehara chuckled and smiled.
After being silent for a while, Itachi untied his collar, took out his wallet, and abruptly changed the subject, “You wanted to borrow money. How much do you need to borrow?”
“One million Ryo?”
After Uehara said a big number, he continued, “Next time, I can grant you an extra 1.5 million Ryo of activity funds.”
“I don’t have that much.”
Itachi took out a stack of money and handed it to Uehara, “I only have one hundred thousand Ryo here. Don’t tell Konan-senpai that I lent it to you.”
“I understand.”
Uehara took away the money and, in good faith, he said, “What about you guys? Did Pain-sama give you a mission? Can I help you?”
“As expected of the organization finance officer, you talk after receiving money!”
Kisame glanced at Itachi intentionally and laughed in a low voice, “Hehehe…We want to take advantage of Konoha’s chaos to investigate Konoha’s Jinchuriki, see if we can take him away.”
“That mission is not easy…”
Uehara glanced at these two people. He lowered his voice and said, “You are right. The whole Konoha is now a mess. But bringing back the Kyuubi Jinchuriki will expose Akatsuki’s existence, and you might also die”
“…”
Itachi’s eyes moved slightly, and then he sighed, “This is the leader’s command. We can only do it even if we give up our lives.”
“Akatsuki will not accommodate the incompetent.”
Uehara blinked his eyes and said softly, “If you fail, the organization might send the new member candidate to complete it but don’t worry, that person is much weaker than you.”
Uehara chuckled and continued, “If Itachi-san wants to, you can kill the new member at any time. I believe the people in the organization will not blame you.”
“Thanks a lot.”
Itachi nodded.
