Behind the Scenes in Naruto World - Chapter 153
When Hinata became the Clans Head and accepted the worship of many Hyuga ninjas, Uehara, hidden in a small cave, sneezed loudly.
“I have offended many people recently…”
Uehara sighed in a low voice, “After harvesting Konoha’s leeks, I need to act a little more low-key in the future. I can’t stand being scolded every day.”
Uehara’s guess was correct. Someone was indeed scolding him.
Jiraiya and Naruto finally found Tsunade, told her about Sarutobi Hiruzen’s death, and invited her to serve as the Fifth Hokage.
Tsunade’s attention was quickly placed on the murderer who killed Hiruzen. She smashed her glass and suddenly said, “Wait… Orochimaru created the chaos in Konoha? But the guy who killed the old man was called Uehara Naraku?”
This name was still fresh in her memory!
Over the past few years, Tsunade would miss the Ame boy who gave her money whenever she lost all her money. She would remember how happy she was at that time!
Unexpectedly, when she heard that name again, the shy little kid had already become Orochimaru’s accomplice in creating the Konoha chaos!
Tsunade hit the table with her fist and gritted her teeth, “I should have killed him! No wonder I kept winning when I was at the table with him. Fate was reminding me that I should kill that boy. Damn it!”
Judging from Jiraiya’s words, that little guy grew up at an amazing speed, and he was already able to fight at the Sannin level.
If she had killed Uehara in the first place, Konoha might not have suffered such a significant loss now, and Hiruzen might not have died either.
“Uh…”
Jiraiya also sighed and explained, “In fact, he was also helpless! After all, that little guy was just following Hanzo’s instructions…”
It was not suitable to elaborate on what happened in public, though.
When the two of them were in private, Jiraiya told Tsunade about the dark secrets hidden by the two old men Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The blonde ninja was so angry that she almost destroyed everything around her, “Currently, Konoha is a mess, and you want me to be the Fifth Hokage?”
“There is no better candidate than you.”
Jiraiya sighed faintly and explained in a deep voice, “Even if I become the Hokage, Konoha will still be in danger of falling apart, so… Tsunade, you are the most suitable person.”
Tsunade was the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokage and a well-known medical ninja in the ninja world. She was very respected, and except for being a gambler, she was undoubtedly the most suitable person to become Hokage.
“Okay!”
Tsunade suddenly rolled two dice and chuckled lightly, “As long as you lose to me, I will grant your request!”
“…”
Jiraiya didn’t take her request seriously.
Tsunade’s brows frowned. She squeezed the two dice into pieces and muttered displeasedly, “You are not as courageous as that kid Uehara… It’s a pity that we will be enemies when I see him again!”
“Don’t think so much.”
Jiraiya interrupted Tsunade’s words and said solemnly, “If nothing else happens, you will never see each other again!”
Uehara didn’t know that Tsunade and Jiraiya were talking about him.
While Uehara was hiding in a small cave and lamenting that his life was difficult, Nagato sent him a message through the ring, “Kimimaro and Haku are back. Konan is really angry and wants to talk to you. I can’t stop her.”
“Nagato-sama, I’m in a cave.”
Uehara stroked the ring in his hand and entered Chakra in it, then whispered, “The signal here is not very good. Can you hear me?”
However, Uehara soon received no response.
After a while, Konan’s suppressed angry voice came from the ring, “Naraku, where are you now? Go back to the village immediately!”
“Sensei, I still have something to deal with…”
“Don’t use those useless perfunctory words. After growing up, you have become more and more courageous. How dare you join forces with Orochimaru to assassinate the Konoha Third Hokage!”
Konan didn’t listen to his explanation at all. Even from a distance, Uehara could imagine Konan’s icy face. It would look as if she was indifferent to everything.
And this was precisely her most angry state.
“Sensei…”
Uehara lowered his head and lied, “If I didn’t assassinate the Third Hokage, I wouldn’t be able to find Danzo, who was behind the chaos during the Chunin Exam. I have successfully lured Danzo out, and I killed him.”
Danzo was already dead.
Which meant Uehara could say anything he wanted about him.
After hearing these words, the other side of the ring fell silent. Both Nagato and Konan were somewhat shocked by the news.
Konan’s voice seemed to have eased a lot, and she whispered, “Naraku, come back first! The outside is too dangerous for you right now. Although Konoha is temporarily in chaos and has no time to hunt you, when they recover, they will not easily let go of their Hokage’s murderer.”
“Sensei, but there is a problem on my side.”
Uehara explained in a deep voice, “Itachi and Kisame went to Konoha to get the Kyuubi, but Akatsuki’s information may have leaked into Konoha.”
Konan heard the weight of Uehara’s words, so she calmed down her disciples in a low voice, “No organization can hide behind the scenes forever, let us handle the Akatsuki’s affairs. What you have to do now is to return to the Land of Rain immediately. “
“Konan, Uehara has grown up.”
After Nagato persuaded Konan on the other side, he opened his mouth and said, “Don’t worry, Uehara, you can do whatever you want. The Six Paths of Pain are your backing. If you encounter danger, immediately call Pain.”
“Nagato, don’t spoil him too much.”
After Konan scolded Nagato, her voice suddenly became a little cold again, “I heard that Hatake Kakashi gave you a few books?”
Uehara, “…”
Why was Haku’s mouth so broken?
Why did he report this kind of thing to Konan?
“Always follow the Three Ninja prohibitions.”
Konan added, “Remember to be cautious when you make friends. That Kakashi who tried to influence you, I won’t let him go when we go to Konoha to capture Kyuubi.”
Uehara, “…”
What else could he say?
At most, he could pray for Kakashi!
“Okay, I’ve noted it down.”
After Uehara nodded seriously, he said, “I found a kid who is suitable to be an intern. In a few days, I will bring him back.”
“Pay attention to your safety.”
After Nagato exhorted, he suddenly said in a low voice, “Uehara, thank you for helping me find a clansman.”
After saying this, Nagato severed the Chakra connection.
On the highest tower in Amegakure.
Konan was frowning, and she looked at Nagato with a bit of dissatisfaction, “I still have something to tell him…”
Nagato shook his head and persuaded her, “Uehara is at his adolescent age. If you talk too much, he will just rebel more.”
Seeing Konan’s suspicious gaze, Nagato continued to explain, “In fact, since Uehara is willing to take the initiative to do something, it can be considered a kind of training for him. At least we can stop worrying about the Amegakure and Akatsuki’s future.”
After Konan lowered her head and pondered for a while, she raised her head and said, “Then after Naraku comes back, make him the Amegakure’s leader and the ruler of the Land of Rain, lest he leaves us.”
“…”
Nagato didn’t want to talk with Konan anymore.
Konan always wanted to tie Uehara to her as if he were a child, fearing that he would encounter problems. But how could a man understand life’s difficulties if he didn’t go through some hardships, and how would he know that home was the warmest sanctuary?
Of course, Nagato wouldn’t really put Uehara in danger.
After Konan left, Nagato immediately asked Tendo Pain to use the Astral projection technique to issue an order to Kisame and Itachi to get them to assist Uehara in completing his task of recruiting new members. In fact, their real mission was to protect Uehara.
This was an outrageous order.
Unfortunately, it could not be refused.
Within a few days.
Uehara saw Kisame and Itachi, who came to him. The three of them were sitting in this small cave, staring at each other.
Itachi said, “Will we be recruiting a Konoha Ninja? Is it Orphan?”
Konoha’s traitor, Orphan, had made a lot of noise recently. Even Itachi and Kisame heard about him. Many people in the Ninja world were also paying attention to this matter.
“No.”
Uehara shook his head and explained softly, “But it’s the same. The ninja we will recruit this time is an orphan whose parents died just a few years ago…”
And you are the murderer who made him an orphan!
Itachi nodded and began to figure out who they were recruiting. After all, Akatsuki always prioritized strength, and very few in Konoha met these conditions.
“Is it Guy-san? Or is it Kakashi-san?”
Konoha had too many orphans, so Itachi came up with these two after a while. After all, only these two people were still capable of meeting Akatsuki’s standards.
This was not good.
If it was Guy, it was still okay. But if it were Kakashi, then the blow to Konoha would be fatal.
It’s a pity that Uehara kept keeping the secret and insisted on not divulging anything, which made Itachi feel a little uneasy.
“Do not worry.”
Uehara chuckled and said, “Itachi-san, if you have any conflicts with the new members, I will help you.”
“Thank you.”
Itachi started thinking again.
If this traitor were harmful enough to Konoha, he would kill him, using the excuse of being incompatible!
Uehara quietly turned on his Destiny skill, and a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Well, let’s go to the Valley of the End! Let’s wait there for our new members!”
The Valley of the End.
When Uehara, Itachi, and Kisame arrived in the Valley of the End, the valley was still very calm. The massive statue of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama stood at this valley, looking grand and majestic.
When they arrived here, five hundred gold coins were credited to Uehara’s account. Land of Fire or Konoha would have been the best place to start!
“What’s the point of coming to the Valley of the End?”
“Because this is the place where old friends split!”
Uehara pointed to the two figures who were rushing in the distance and chuckled, “Do you see that? That is where our new members are.”
The one in front was Uchiha Sasuke.
The person chasing him behind was Uzumaki Naruto.
History was forced into its established path by him. After Tsunade returned to Konoha and became the Fifth Hokage, the Otonin showed up late at night and took away Sasuke, and a group of Konoha ninja came out to chase them.
To cover Sasuke’s escape, the Otonin fought fiercely with Konoha’s ninjas, but Naruto still caught up with Sasuke under cover of his friends.
A scene where an old friend fought once again took place here in the Valley of the End.
Itachi looked at the two teenagers fighting underneath them, and his face suddenly became difficult to look at. Whether it was his brother Uchiha Sasuke or Konoha’s Kyuubi Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Naruto, no matter which one was captured, it would not be a good thing!
“How about it?”
Uehara looked down at Naruto and Sasuke’s fierce battle and chuckled lightly, “Itachi-san, you can pick one! Should we take your brother or Konoha’s Jinchuriki?”
Kisame grinned and put forward a different opinion, “Oh? Little intern, are there any special orders from the leader? Can’t both of them be taken away?”
“Of course we can.”
Uehara smiled happily, “In this way, your team can complete the mission of capturing the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki as well!”
Itachi felt that he had encountered the biggest test since joining Akatsuki.
Itachi gritted his teeth, his eyes suddenly turned scarlet, and he said in a deep voice, “Uchiha Sasuke’s strength is too weak, he also has a deep hatred for me…”
“Then kill him.”
Uehara glanced at Itachi with a half-smiling face and continued softly, “Kisame-senpai, killing Uchiha Sasuke and grabbing the Jinchuriki…Is it okay for you to do this?”
“I am glad to.”
Kisame carried his Samehada, laughed very freely, and acted very realistically, “This kid was not respectful to Itachi-san before, so I will offer his head to Itachi-san!”
Itachi, “…”
Damn, why was this shark face so annoying?
Were these two people, Uehara and Kisame, trying to force him to fight?
