Behind the Scenes in Naruto World - Chapter 160
Uehara was very busy.
Currently, Uehara was squatting on the outskirts of this secret base, eagerly waiting for White Zetsu’s clone to emerge and catch him. To pass the time, he used his very crude drawing skills to draw a map of the base.
Uehara map drawing was more abstract than the maps he bought in some small shops. Basically, he drew a rough outline and drew a few iconic hillsides.
While mapping the land, Uehara would alternately turn on Hunting Rhythm and Destiny from time to time to investigate whether a White Zetsu appeared.
After a long time, a clone of White Zetsu appeared under the secret base. It used mayfly to swim far away. According to his observations, the destination of this White Zetsu should be a nearby village.
When this White Zetsu just got out of the ground and turned into an ordinary person, someone patted it on the shoulder and placed a scribbled map in front of it, “Friend, can you read this map and find my home?”
“Oh?”
White Zetsu’s brows suddenly wrinkled. Since he transforms into a stranger’s face, he lowers his head to look at the map with peace of mind.
“What is this?”
“Map!”
White Zetsu glared, displeased, at the strange man behind him and started criticizing the scribbled map, “What is this, a mountain? What is this, a lake? And this, a forest? What kind of mess is this map? Who can find a hillside location in a forest? It also says about a few kilometers…”
As White Zetsu said this, his voice gradually lowered. It seemed to have thought of where this place was. Wasn’t it the secret base where they and Obito had hidden!
White Zetsu turned his head to look at the stranger, only to see a mysterious smile on the stranger’s face!
White Zetsu suddenly felt danger. The moment he planned to escape and rush back to the base to report, his body was tangled by vines!
White Zetsu’s face suddenly changed, and he asked in a deep voice, “Mokuton? Who are you? How come you have Hashirama’s Mokuton?”
“Oh, I’m just a painter.”
The stranger’s face changed again, and Uehara’s original appearance was restored. He chuckled and said, “Well, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the map I drew…”
“Uehara Naraku!”
This White Zetsu immediately recognized this person whose name was often circulated in the base, and he had even secretly monitored Uehara in Amegakure for a while. It was said that Black Zetsu and Obito quarreled every time because of this guy.
This person should be their ally!
A few years ago, this White Zetsu had seen Uehara in front of Konan and Nagato, helping Obito join again. Still, Konan and Nagato were very stubborn and refused to accept Obito again.
This White Zetsu reluctantly comforted himself and asked in a low voice, “Uehara, what are you doing? Why did you catch me and write down the location of our secret base? Are you Nagato and Konan’s spy?”
“Are all White Zetsu as annoying and talkative as you?”
Two pairs of white wings suddenly spread out behind Uehara. He carried the vines in his hands and flew into the sky.
This White Zetsu seemed a little afraid of heights. He had always lived under the ground, so he kept cursing while in the air.
Uehara knew that this White Zetsu wouldn’t live long, so he didn’t care about White Zetsu’s cursing.
This White Zetsu would be sent to Kabuto.
Uehara spread his wings and flew to Otogakure’s vicinity. By the way, White Zetsu cursed all the way.
After landing, this White Zetsu said solemnly, “This is the Otogakure? Uehara, why are you bringing me here?”
“You’ve been to quite a few places.”
Uehara chuckled lightly and began to use the Destiny skill, and soon found Kabuto’s position, but Orochimaru was not in the village right now.
Since the Konoha Collapse Plan, Orochimaru seemed to be less concerned about the Otogakure’s existence. The number of ninjas in this village was also decreasing, and the guards were not alert.
This was also normal.
After all, Konoha had been tracking Orochimaru. Although they were concentrating on the so-called Orphan Anbu’s defection, when they calmed down, they would definitely find a way to send someone to suppress Otogakure.
At least in name, Otogakure should be eliminated.
Orochimaru also didn’t care about Konoha’s actions. The foundation of Otogakure was himself, and as long as he was still alive, he could build a new Otogakure in the future.
Uehara found Kabuto with little effort, and it happened that Kabuto was carefully experimenting in the laboratory.
When Kabuto saw Uehara, he didn’t feel particularly surprised. He had seen his new boss’s technique many times.
But why does he stare at the experiment table like a curious baby? Was he planning on causing an explosion again?
“Cough cough cough cough… Naraku-sama.”
Kabuto hurriedly interrupted Uehara’s thoughts. He lowered his head and looked at White Zetsu next to Uehara. His eyes lit up, “Is this a White Zetsu?”
“I caught it earlier, and it’s still alive.”
When Uehara talked about White Zetsu, he seemed to be talking about a fish. He took out a map from his ninja bag and handed it to Kabuto, “This is the map I drew, and it is the base where White Zetsu was currently hiding. You have to find a way to guide Orochimaru to catch them.”
“Understand.”
Kabuto looked around the map for a while. As a spy, he had seen many scribbled maps, but the map that Uehara gave him was really hard to describe.
Fortunately, Kabuto knew most of the terrain in the Ninja World. He accepted the map obediently without saying anything rude. Instead, he focuses more on the living White Zetsu.
After researching these days, Kabuto and Orochimaru have become more and more eager for a White Zetsu.
White Zetsu’s biological energy played a huge role!
Kabuto pushed his glasses, and a hunger for knowledge flashed in his eyes, “I will now use this White Zetsu for human experiments on Hashirama cell transplantation!”
“There are Hashirama cells here?”
Uehara’s eyes suddenly lit up, “You must help me prepare a Hashirama cell. I want to transplant Hashirama cells into a descendant of the Uzumaki clan!”
Originally, Uehara wanted to get a copy of Hashirama cells for Nagato. Since there are Hashirama cells here, let’s take a copy from here!
“Is it Karin?”
Kabuto’s brows suddenly wrinkled, and his brain seemed to have figured out something, “Yes, the Uzumaki clan is born with strong vitality, so they are also the most suitable carriers for the Hashirama cells. It is even possible to awaken Mokuton. It’s a pity that the descendants of the Uzumaki clan are scattered all over the Ninja World, and it is too wasteful to use them for experiments because they are difficult to find…”
“Don’t mention these theories.”
Uehara gave a dissatisfied look at Kabuto and said softly, “This White Zetsu has already seen my true face. You can’t let this guy survive. After you finish the experiment on the Hashirama cells, you can cut its head off.!”
“Uehara, you bastard, you despicable villain!”
White Zetsu immediately began a series of scolding. Within half a minute, White Zetsu used all the curse words he knew in his life to describe Uehara.
Kabuto was ashamed just hearing it.
In fact, Orochimaru occasionally scolded Uehara secretly.
However, compared to this White Zetsu, Orochimaru’s cursing words appear to be very friendly…
Uehara ignored White Zetsu and just looked at Kabuto, who was helping him get the Hashirama cells, and asked, “Kabuto, where is that guy Orochimaru? Is he starting a conspiracy again?”
“No.”
Kabuto took a closed bottle and sealed the bottle in a scroll before handing it to Uehara, “Orochimaru-sama is in Kusagakure making a transaction…”
Over the past few years, Orochimaru’s experimental funds had been gained from transactions with small ninja villages, small countries, and rich and powerful people.
The Kusagakure was also one of his partners.
“Oh, I hope he finishes it soon.”
Uehara shook his head and said with emotion, “I will go destroy Kusagakure after I leave. If Orochimaru fails to get enough money from the transaction, he will never get the payment in the future.”
Kabuto, “…”
Oh, was he going to be pitted again?
A few days ago, Orochimaru developed a tool that was to be used in warfare. To make a fortune from Kusagakure, Orochimaru was going to talk about prices and collect data. However, it looks like this transaction was going to fail!
Orochimaru didn’t even get the advance payment from Kusagakure this time because he was too confident of his strength, and a small village would not dare to cheat Orochimaru.
But if Uehara destroyed this small ninja village, it was a real force majeure factor that even Orochimaru has nothing to say…
(TN: Force majeure refers to a clause that is included in contracts to remove liability for natural and unavoidable catastrophes that interrupt the expected course of events and prevent participants from fulfilling obligations.)
Kabuto glanced at Uehara speechlessly. He didn’t know what to say. Why does his new boss Uehara always cheat his old boss?
Uehara put away the sealed scroll and kicked the still-living White Zetsu, and whispered, “As for how to lure Orochimaru into attacking Obito and White Zetsu’s hidden base, you don’t need me to help you think of the reasons, right?”
“Of course not.”
Kabuto quickly chuckled and shook his head, “I can easily solve this little thing by myself. After all, I have enough reasons.”
After finishing talking, Kabuto glanced at White Zetsu with regret, “If Orochimaru-sama is here, we can use it more…”
“It’s okay. You can catch more later.”
Uehara patted Kabuto’s shoulder and said, “Orochimaru is just a tool, while your potential is endless. You must learn the Impure World Reincarnation and go to Ryuchi Cave to learn their Sage Mode.”
Throughout the history of the Ninja world, only Kabuto learned Ryuchi Cave’s Sage Mode. Uehara wants to evolve his Sage Mode, so he can only temporarily pin his hopes on Kabuto. Otherwise, he had to try to kill the White Snake Sage…
Moreover, Kabuto could master the Impure World Reincarnation, which was a potential benefit. Kabuto would also have the highest achievement among the three subordinates of Uehara in the future, and he was much stronger than Kisame and Mangetsu.
“Understand.”
Kabuto nodded hesitantly. To tell the truth, Kabuto did not think that Uehara had high hopes for him!
“Oh, yes, there are a few more things.”
Uehara suddenly turned his head, grabbed Kabuto’s shoulder, and asked softly, “I want to blame the leaks of White Zetsu and Obito’s base on Black Zetsu. Since he is a lonely guy, as long as it is blamed on him, no one would believe him even if he denied it. Can you do anything about this?”
“…I can.”
Kabuto pushed his glasses and whispered, “I will take care of this so that Naraku-sama can rest assured.”
“In addition to these, there is information about Zetsu…”
Uehara patted the shoulder of Kabuto and continued, “There are black and white Zetsu. White is just a bunch of waste with low combat effectiveness;
But Black Zetsu claims to be Uchiha Madara’s will. It exists for a huge plan. As for this plan, I will tell you after I figure out how to make it up.
But you can find a way to leak it to Orochimaru in advance. There should be no problem if I leave this to you, right? “
Uehara found that it was excellent to have a spy next to Orochimaru. In this way, he could directly pass the information to Kabuto and let Kabuto find a way to leak it to Orochimaru.
In this way, there was no need for him to rashly use Orochimaru’s identity to cause trouble, lest flaws appear in the middle.
Kabuto glanced at Uehara speechlessly. Why do I need to make it up? Aren’t you just trying to pour dirty water on Black Zetsu?
However, as a qualified subordinate, Kabuto knew what to ask and what not to ask. When to answer and when to shut up.
Kabuto was silent for a while, his gaze slowly turned to White Zetsu, who was about to die on the experiment table beside him, “Naraku-sama, I want to know more about White Zetsu. Whether they have human thoughts or can they only follow what they are commanded to do?”
“You mean to ask, whether this White Zetsu and Obito have a good relationship, or if it has a better relationship with Black Zetsu?”
Uehara touched his chin, looked at the more irritable White Zetsu, and said softly, “White Zetsu should have no brains. They do what they want, and maybe their brains are filled with water?”
“You bastards have no brains!”
White Zetsu, who stopped cursing beside him, was irritated again, “Uehara, you despicable villain, shameless and indecent, your brain is full of water!”
Kabuto pushed his glasses slowly and said, “It seems like we can use this White Zetsu as Black Zetsu messenger sent to cooperate with Orochimaru-sama. If they really cooperate, will there be any danger to Naraku-sama?”
“Rest assured.”
Uehara smiled confidently and spread out his hand, “In the entire Ninja world, I can pick out a few people who can be my opponents…”
This was the confidence he gained after testing Sage Mode!
