Behind the Scenes in Naruto World - Chapter 158
Lakeshore.
Konan raised her head and looked at Uehara. This disciple of her was already taller than her, and she couldn’t help but remind again of Nagato’s persuasion and Jiraiya’s teaching.
The anger in Konan’s chest slowly subsided, and she reached out to help Uehara tidy up his clothes, “Naraku, tomorrow I will arrange for you to become the leader of Amegakure. You are a ninja from the Land of Rain, so you must slowly learn to shoulder the responsibility of a leader!”
Uehara’s face suddenly drooped. He shook his head weakly and said, “Konan-sensei, Pain is the most suitable leader of Amegakure.”
Uehara had known this for a long time.
Konan didn’t want Uehara to mix with the current Akatsuki. Instead, she wants him to become the leader of Amegakure according to the route she set. This was also the difference between Uehara and Konan and also the difference between Nagato and Konan.
Perhaps it was because of too much suffering, but Konan always wanted to arrange a bright and smooth journey for him, but what Uehara wanted was not this!
The future of being tied to a small ninja village every day and always under Konan and Nagato’s wings. Was this what he should do as the mastermind controlling the ninja world?
Uehara grabbed Konan’s hand and said solemnly, “Sensei, I have been practicing in the village for four years, and I have researched a lot of ninjutsu. This time, I didn’t fall into a disadvantage even when I fought against Jiraiya.”
“I know. You have too many guts.”
Konan slowly raised her head to look at Uehara and said solemnly, “And you actually assassinated the Third Hokage in Konoha this time, in case something happens to you…”
“Nothing happened, right?…”
Uehara helplessly patted his forehead and said, “Anyway, I refuse to become the leader of Amegakure.”
Konan slowly stretched out her palm and stroked his cheek. Her hot breath fell on Uehara’s neck, her voice getting lower and lower, “Naraku, we want to give you the best. Why do you always refuse?”
“Maybe there is a generation gap in our understandings?”
Uehara blinked and stared at Konan’s orange eyes. He softly changed the subject, “That… Sensei, I brought you a gift, and you will love it.!”
“Okay?”
Konan’s eyes suddenly had some doubts.
Uehara quickly took out a scroll from his ninja bag and placed it in Konan’s hand. He chuckled and said, “Didn’t I tell you before? After the assassination of the Third Hokage, I got in touch with Danzo…”
Of course, this was a lie.
In fact, Danzo’s assassination was earlier.
But, aside from Kabuto, no one else knew the truth.
Konan’s gaze suddenly hesitated. Her expression was a little hard to say while looking at the scroll in her hand, “So what inside is…”
Uehara nodded, and with a smug smile on his face, he said, “Yes, it’s the corpse of Shimura Danzo.”
Uehara shook his head and sighed. He continued to explain, “Shimura Danzo seems to have mastered a life-saving technique. He transplanted a bunch of Sharingan, and every time he closed one of the Sharingan, he was protected from all harm for some time. It took me a lot of effort…”
This was also to provide information.
In the future, when Konan or Nagato meet Obito, they must be clear that having Sharingan means a period of invincible time.
Uehara had some regrets on his face and said, “Because of this, I didn’t bring him back alive, only his corpse.”
“…”
Konan’s expression was a little dazed.
Her mood was incredibly complicated at this moment, and she didn’t know what to say.
Every time this disciple of hers went out, he would bring her some weird gifts after coming back. Although these gifts were all in line with her wants, they always felt a little odd.
Yes, she does hate Danzo.
But what was more important than Danzo was Uehara’s emotional intelligence.
Uehara brought a corpse over as a gift. Wasn’t his EQ a little bit too low? Was there a problem with her education?
“Okay, I’m going to treat Nagato-sama first.”
After Uehara waved his hand, he took this opportunity to interrupt the talk and turned to leave.
Konan nodded hesitantly. Her eyes fell on the scroll in her hand again.
A trace of hatred flashed in Konan’s eyes, and there was an additional explosive tag on the scroll.
Konan threw the scroll with the explosive tag into the lake and quickly closed her palms, “Goj? Kibaku Fuda!” (Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags)
Bang Bang Bang…
Countless explosive tags exploded the scroll to pieces!
Both the scroll and the corpses inside were all turned into pieces!
After finishing all this, Konan’s eyes slowly flushed with relief, and a pair of wings spread out behind her, lifting her slowly to the sky.
Amegakure.
Above the Highest tower.
Nagato was tinkering with Shurado Pain. After hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head with a smile on his face and said, “How was it? Was Konan still angry?”
“What’s going on today?”
After Uehara waved his hand helplessly, his gaze immediately fell on Shurado’s body, “Oh? Has Shurado received any new components?”
“Well, didn’t you persuade me before? I have now made Shurado into a one-time use puppet that can explode and directly destroy everything in a radius of tens of kilometers through self-detonation as Pain’s last resort. “
Nagato casually put away Shurado Pain and whispered, “From now on, when you go out, take Shurado Pain! When you are in danger, you can use your healing technique to activate its self-destruct mechanism.”
“…”
Uehara shook his head speechlessly and then started the previous topic again, “What’s the matter today? How did Kimimaro and Haku become official members but not me? Hey hey, Nagato-sama, you promised to me before. I want to wear a uniform too!”
“Kona brought up those two children, so they naturally listened to Konan’s orders.”
Nagato glanced at him and sighed, “Uehara, if you hadn’t assassinated the Third Hokage this time, you would have become an official member when you come back…”
“…”
Uehara couldn’t help but twitch, “But I successfully assassinated the Third Hokage. Doesn’t it mean that I have become stronger?”
“But you have too much guts!”
Nagato shook his head and said in a deep voice, “The Five Great Ninja Villages are not as simple as you imagined. Don’t do such dangerous things in the future. Even if you do, you must summon the Six Pains in advance!”
“Got it.”
Uehara waved his hand and said, “Why are you now in the same camp with Konan-sensei, Nagato-sama? We should be in the same camp!”
“It’s too dangerous to be with you.”
Nagato glanced at Uehara and continued to shake his head dully: “If I knew you were so bold, I would…”
“Hey, what’s done, is done.”
Uehara hurriedly interrupted Nagato’s words and said loudly, “Anyway, you promised me when you were communicating with me before, you will let me put on Akatsuki’s uniform and become a full member!”
“It’s just a small matter.”
Nagato patted Uehara’s shoulder and said in a deep voice, “After I take care of everything, you will be the Akatsuki’s new leader…”
Uehara, “…”
The minds of Konan and Nagato were incomprehensible. One wanted him to be the leader of Amegakure, and the other wanted him to be the leader of Akatsuki. He just wants to complete his mission and wear the official Akatsuki uniform!
“Hurry up and give me a task.”
Uehara patted Nagato and urged anxiously, “I’m a little worried that Konan-sensei will force me to become the village leader tomorrow. If I become one, it may be difficult to leave the village in the future. I want to go out today and hide for a while.”
To be honest, Uehara felt a little afraid of coming back. Konan and Nagato placed too much hope on him, but he just wanted to be a man behind the scenes.
Of course, Nagato refused him. He shook his head and rejected his proposal, “If Konan can’t find you, she will trouble me…”
“Are you helping me or not?”
Uehara folded his arm.
Nagato couldn’t help but whisper, “Okay, I just have a task here. You are going to attack and destroy the Kusagakure. This task was originally for Sasori and Deidara, but it’s yours now…”
“Is there a reason?”
“Yes, for a good reason.”
Nagato nodded and explained in a deep voice, “The Land of Grass is connected to the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire. After Kusagakure is destroyed, the two countries will definitely have disputes over the ownership of the land in the Land of Grass;
Moreover, the Konoha and Iwa ninjas who sneak into the Land of Rain will also be sent to the Land of Grass, reducing the possibility of us being exposed. “
Nagato slowly closed his hand and continued with a deep voice, “The last reason is something I heard from Karin. Her mother is also a descendant of the Uzumaki clan but died from the abuse in this village…”
Perhaps this reason was the most important.
As the relationship between Uehara and Nagato got better and better, Nagato gradually became more and more human. He gradually learned to be gentle and angry again.
Karin and her mother were descendants of the Uzumaki clan. In a sense, they were also Nagato clan members, and he naturally wished to recover this debt.
“Fine!”
Uehara nodded solemnly, and he glanced at the Shurado in the room again and said softly, “I will bring the Shurado with me this time!”
“Okay.”
After Nagato nodded earnestly, he added, “I heard that the Kusagakure has been planning to start a war recently. Maybe you can find evidence that they are trying to start a war against Amegakure. I can also make Konan think you are just doing business…”
“I see. When I go back, I will bring you gifts!”
Uehara left Nagato’s room instantaneously, and his face became serious!
If he remembered correctly, there should be a hidden base near the border of Kusagakure.
