Chapter 153: About to welcome new members
When Hinata became the Clans Head and accepted the worship of many Hyuga ninjas, Uehara hid in a small cave and sneezed loudly.
“I have offended many people recently…”
Uehara sighed in a low voice, “After cutting a stubble of Konoha leeks, I will act a little more low-key in the future. I can’t stand the scolding every day.”
Uehara’s guess was correct. Someone was indeed scolding him.
Jiraiya and Naruto finally found Tsunade, told her about Sarutobi Hiruzen’s deaths 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 Konoha chaos? But the guy who killed the old man was called Uehara Naraku?”
This name was still fresh in her memory!
Tsunade would miss the Ame boy who gave her money whenever she lost cleanly in the past few years. How happy they were 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. At that time, fate reminded 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 the Sannin level Jiraiya.
If she had killed Uehara in the first place, Konoha might not have suffered such a large 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 instruction…”
This place was not suitable to elaborate on what happened.
When the two of them were in private, Jiraiya told Tsunade about the nasty things about the two old men Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The blonde ninja was so angry that she almost destroyed everything around her, “The current Konoha is a mess. Let me be the Fifth Hokage?”
“There was no better candidate than you.”
Jiraiya sighed faintly and explained in a deep voice, “Even if I become the Hokage, Konoha is still in danger of falling apart…so Tsunade, only you are the most suitable person.”
Because Tsunade was the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokage and a well-known medical ninja in the entire ninja world. She was very respected, and except for being a gambling addict, 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 an enemy 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 now looks so 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 receive it?”
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 talk about those useless perfunctory words. After you grow up, you have become more and more courageous. You dare to join forces with Orochimaru to assassinate the Konoha Third Hokage!”
Konan didn’t listen to his explanation at all. Even at a long distance, Uehara could imagine that Konan’s face must be icy right now as if she was indifferent to everything.
And this was precisely her most angry state.
“Sensei…”
Uehara lowered his head and lied, “If I don’t assassinate the Third Hokage, I won’t be able to see Danzo, who was behind when the Chunin Exam chaos. And when I successfully lure Danzo out, I kill him.”
Danzo was already dead.
So Uehara can fabricate this kind of thing.
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! Now the outside is too dangerous for you, although Konoha is temporarily in chaos and has no time to hunt you, when they recover, they will not easily let go 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. Akatsuki’s information may have leaked in Konoha.”
Konan heard the weight of Uehara’s words, so she calmed down her disciples in a low voice, “There can be no organization hiding behind the scenes forever, let Akatsuki’s affairs be handled by us. What you have to do now is to return to the Country 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. Six Pain is your backing. If you encounter danger, immediately call Six 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?
Can this kind of thing be reported 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 the Kyuubi.”
Uehara, “…”
What else can he say?
Of course, it’s to make Kakashi ask for more blessings!
“Okay, I noted it down.”
After Uehara nodded seriously, he said, “I found a kid who is suitable to be an intern. I will take him back after I find him in a few days.”
“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’s 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 have a rebellious mentality.”
Seeing Konan’s suspicious gaze, Nagato continued to explain, “In fact, Uehara is willing to take the initiative to do something. This is also a kind of training for him. At least we can stop worrying about 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, let him become the Amegakure’s leader and rule the entire Country of Rain, lest he always 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 for fear that he would have some problems. But how can a man know that life was difficult if he didn’t go through some hardships, and how will 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 assist Uehara in completing the task of recruiting new members. In fact, their real mission was to protect Uehara.
This was simply outrageous.
Unfortunately, this order 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, “Is the new member we will recruit a Konoha Ninja? Is it that Orphan?”
These days, Konoha traitor Orphan makes a lot of noise. 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 was an orphan whose parents died just a few years ago…”
And you are the murderer and made him an orphan!
Itachi nodded and began to figure out who they were recruiting. After all, Akatsuki always prioritizes strength, and very few in Konoha can meet these conditions.
“Is it Guy-san? Or is it Kakashi-san?”
Konoha’s orphans are too many, 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 was 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 was harmful enough to Konoha, he would kill him directly under the reason of contradiction!
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 huge 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. It turns out that Country of Fire or Konoha was the correct way to start!
“What’s the point of our coming to Valley of the End?”
“Because this is the place where old friends split!”
Uehara pointed to the two figure who was rushing in the distance and chuckled, “Did you see it? That is our new member.”
The one fleeing ahead was Uchiha Sasuke.
The person chasing him behind was Uzumaki Naruto.
History was forced into the established track 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 fights fiercely with Konoha ninja, but Naruto also catches up with Sasuke under the cover of his friends.
A scene where an old friend fight takes 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 Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto, no matter which one was captured, it will 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, is there any special order 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 Jinchuriki!”
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 with 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 use his head to vent for Itachi-san!”
Itachi, “…”
Damn, why was this shark face so annoying.
Did these two people, Uehara and Kisame, trying to force him to death on the spot?
