Behind the Scenes in Naruto World - Chapter 157
Akatsuki’s base.
Uehara hadn’t been to Akatsuki’s base for a while, and he had a faint longing for this place in his heart.
After entering the base, Uehara and his party found many people today, and it seemed like all the official members had gathered here.
Official members: Pain, Konan, Sasori, Deidara, Mangetsu, Zabuza, Kakuzu, Hidan, Zetsu, plus Kisame and Itachi, who had just arrived, the official members were all here.
The intern was only Uehara and Sasuke, who would become an intern from today onwards.
As for the non-staff, Kimimaro and Haku were also here, and today their team had an extra Karin.
Wait, something was not right!
Uehara couldn’t help but glance at Kimimaro and Haku’s clothes. Why did they both get to wear Akatsuki’s uniform?
In terms of strength, Kimimaro and Haku were not qualified as Akatsuki’s official members, right?
Could it be that Akatsuki’s uniform will be released today, and the official membership was open?
Uehara couldn’t help showing a hint of joy. Even Kimimaro and Haku were able to join. Doesn’t this mean that he was also qualified to become Akatsuki’s official member?
Uehara slowly moved towards his position and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Is the organization going to have a team-building event today?”
Sasori raised Hiruko’s head and said coldly, “What team building? Isn’t it because a new member will be joining today?”
“Is it this kid?”
Deidara looked at the unfamiliar Sasuke with a smirk, “It seems that this kid doesn’t seem to be very strong, is he qualified to stand with us?”
Kakuzu glanced at Sasuke with dissatisfaction, “Akatsuki is not a place for kittens or puppies to join in! Stop attracting these teenage kids, and you are turning this place into a kindergarten.”
When Deidara heard this, he immediately became unhappy and opened his mouth to retort, “That’s better than becoming an activity center for the elderly!”
After all, Deidara joined Akatsuki at the age of twelve, and this year he was only about fifteen or sixteen. The generation gap between him and an old man like Kakuzu was too big for them to get along.
After speaking, Deidara even kindly attracted another person of his age, “Hey, Uehara, am I right?”
“Cough cough cough cough…”
Uehara coughed a few times, and when he was about to say something, he glanced up at Konan next to him and saw Konan’s cold face getting colder and colder, making him close his mouth subconsciously.
Ever since Uehara entered Akatsuki’s base, Konan has not spoken a word, which was different from her normal attitude towards Uehara.
Moreover, the silence was generally a precursor to Konan’s anger.
This was also normal. After all, Konan has always disliked Uehara’s participation in the Akatsuki’s matters, but Nagato’s opinions completely contradict her.
Seeing Konan angry, Uehara felt a little abnormally happy. Was it because he was going to become an official member today?
“All right.”
Pain interrupted everyone and turned his attention to Uehara. He said in a deep voice, “Uehara, why don’t you introduce the new member you recruited?”
“Rather than let me introduce him, why not allow Itachi-san to do it?”
Uehara suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth for fear of arousing Konan’s anger. He slowly raised his head to look at Itachi and softly said, “No one in the Ninja World knows our new member better than Itachi-san, right?”
Itachi was silent for a while, then turned to look at Sasuke and said softly, “This is Uchiha…”
“I am Uchiha Sasuke!”
Sasuke interrupted Itachi with a cold voice and said loudly, “The only real member of the Uchiha clan, I joined Akatsuki to kill Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito!”
“…”
Deidara immediately becomes dissatisfied, “What! It’s another Uchiha! Are all you Uchiha going to join the Akatsuki?!”
As a person defeated at the hands of Itachi, Deidara was undoubtedly the one who hated Uchiha the most, and it just so happens that the Akatsuki has a fate with the Uchiha.
Just a few years ago, a man named Uchiha Obito was forced to defect. He heard that he still wanted to join again, and now, they have added another Uchiha. There were only a few Uchiha left in the ninja world, and all of them had a close relationship with the Akatsuki.
Akatsuki’s members turned their gazes to Sasuke one after another, and everyone frowned involuntarily, then after a while, it fell on Itachi, seemingly wanting to see his reaction.
However, Itachi’s face was calm, and he didn’t seem to care about what Sasuke was saying. This was the confidence of the strong.
The enthusiasm of Akatsuki’s members who wanted to watch a good show suddenly faded before turning their heads to look at Uehara.
Sasori couldn’t help but ask first, “Uehara, why are you soliciting the enemies of official members to join Akatsuki?”
“Hey hey, Sasori-senpai, this was not my idea.”
Uehara shook his head hurriedly, and with a smile on his face, he said, “Itachi-san mentioned it himself. He took the initiative to recruit Uchiha Sasuke, who has just become a traitor, and I also strongly oppose it with Kisame-senpai!”
“Yes.”
Itachi nodded and responded, “My genjutsu needs to use a person with a lot of spiritual energy to practice. It happened that Uchiha Sasuke opened the three tomoe Sharingan, so he has a certain value.”
“Oh? Turns out he’s a little genius!”
Sasori immediately changed his attitude and slowly educated Sasuke in the tone of an elderly, “Hey kid, remember not to be too arrogant in front of us in the future. If you are like Deidara, you won’t live long.”
“…”
Sasuke was too lazy to talk to him.
On the contrary, Deidara was furious with anger, “Hey, hey, hey, Sasori-san, I have always respected you!”
“But you always blow up my puppets!”
“This proves that my art is one level higher than Sasori-san’s art!”
“Do you want to die?”
“Deidara, Sasori, stop arguing.”
Pain interrupted their quarrel with a cold voice and said solemnly, “I’ll announce the new organization team members! Kimimaro and Haku will become official members from today! “
“Yes.”
Kimimaro and Haku seriously agreed.
After Pain nodded in satisfaction, he turned to look at Uehara, but when Pain saw the expression on Konan’s face next to him, he fell silent and seemed a little stuck.
After a while, Pain seemed to have made up his mind and said in a deep voice, “I originally wanted to delay it for a while. Since Uehara has recruited Uchiha Sasuke, he will act with Uchiha Sasuke as an official member in the future! “
“I don’t agree.”
Konan slowly raised her head, looked directly at Pain, and said, “Naraku has more important tasks, and he almost caused a disaster when he went out this time…”
“I object too.”
Itachi said in a deep voice, “Although Uehara’s strength was very strong. I suspect that he may have some connection with Orochimaru, and he should still be under the supervision of Konan-senpai.”
After saying this, Itachi added, “And I need to bring Sasuke with me during this period. On the one hand, I can use him for training, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for me to monitor him so that this guy doesn’t defect to Uchiha Obito.”
These words can hardly be more reasonable.
The corner of Kisame’s mouth hooked, and he chuckled, “Actually, I also oppose this, but I am not opposed to Uehara becoming an Official member. I think that Uchiha Sasuke is not qualified to form a team with him.”
“I think so too.”
“I don’t agree!”
Kakuzu glanced at Uehara coldly and said in a deep voice, “I think this kid, Uehara Naraku, can work as an accountant in Amegakure from now on! Akatsuki has enough manpower!”
To be honest, after Uehara left, Kakuzu still missed him a little bit.
Although Uehara always collected money quickly, he was also very clear when he allocated funds for activities. He was far better than his teacher Konan…
“I agree with Kakuzu-senpai’s opinion!”
“I also think what Kakuzu-senpai said makes sense!”
“I also agree with Kakuzu-senpai’s opinion!”
Several teams expressed their agreement with Kakuzu’s opinions. It seems that many of them had been victims of Konan’s allocation of activity funds.
After all, Konan, who had a difficult life since childhood and naturally didn’t like other people spending money lavishly.
Konan naturally didn’t care what they thought.
When hearing the other members supporting her, Konan’s cold face showed a slight smile, and her palm softly fell on Uehara’s shoulder and whispered, “Then Naraku will study with me for a while!”
Pain was silent for a while, looked at the people present, and nodded slowly, “Then Uehara will continue to learn from you, and for the time being, Uchiha Sasuke will follow Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame’s team!
“???”
Uehara slowly raised his head, and there was a little doubt in his eyes looking at Pain. You said so much today, but you were just making fun of me?
Konan took Uehara’s hand, the smile on her face slowly subsided, and she returned to her cold look.
“Naraku, come with me. I want to talk to you about something.”
Konan was still angry.
