Starting as the Hidden Mastermind from Naruto

Chapter 161: This is God's Will… to Annihilate You!

Orochimaru had not yet returned.

Naraku Uehara simply sat in a corner of the laboratory to rest, while also observing Kabuto Yakushi conduct the human experiment of transplanting Hashirama cells into the White Zetsu.

If Orochimaru were to return, Naraku Uehara would definitely slip away immediately. Now was not the time for him and Orochimaru to meet, because the main purpose now was to frame Obito Uchiha and slander Black Zetsu.

This ninja world was always so magical.

Naraku Uehara, the creditor, couldn't even wait at Orochimaru's house to collect the debt. Just thinking about it felt unpleasant. He could only wait until the next time he saw Orochimaru and add a little more interest to his debt.

Besides the previously agreed-upon Edo Tensei and Living Corpse Reincarnation techniques, he would also collect the Summoning: Rashomon and the Dead Demon Consuming Seal…

"Naraku Uehara, you bastard! You're a piece of bird shit! Sooner or later, you'll die a horrible death! When I get out of here, I'll suffocate you in the desert…"

The White Zetsu on the experimental table was still cursing, a torrent of curses from various countries of the ninja world spewing from its mouth. It seemed this fellow had been to many places.

Naraku Uehara glanced at the busy Kabuto Yakushi at the experimental table and cleaned his ears, "Can you gag him…"

"Sorry, I'll think of a way."

After Kabuto Yakushi nodded, he hurriedly grabbed a pair of rubber gloves from the experimental table and stuffed them into the White Zetsu's mouth, plugging that foul mouth.

Kabuto Yakushi's time was actually very tight. According to Naraku Uehara's instructions, he had to kill this White Zetsu before Orochimaru arrived. But based on the principle of waste utilization, Kabuto Yakushi still wanted to do another round of experiments to simply collect some data.

While carefully taking out a bottle of Hashirama cells, Kabuto Yakushi chatted casually, "By the way, Lord Naraku, will you need my help with the Hashirama cell transplant surgery?"

"Don't worry, some people can perform surgery on themselves."

Naraku Uehara shook his head, thinking of Nagato and the Six Paths of Pain, and said in a low voice, "It should be possible, right? After all, he's quite good with machinery and human puppets…"

However, Naraku Uehara was still a little uneasy and added, "I'll ask again when I get back! Before that, I'll find an opportunity to perform a transplant surgery on Karin first. It should greatly enhance her strength."

"Understood."

Kabuto Yakushi nodded, picked up a scalpel, cut open the White Zetsu's arm, stuffed the Hashirama cells into the White Zetsu's body, and began to suture.

Time was tight, so he couldn't do too much.

The facts were indeed as Naraku Uehara had expected. White Zetsu was the most suitable organism for Hashirama cell transplantation. The White Zetsu's wound healed rapidly.

The next moment, countless wooden thorns suddenly grew out of this White Zetsu's body!

A hint of madness flashed in Kabuto Yakushi's eyes, "It can even awaken the most troublesome Wood Release kekkei genkai. Perhaps I can try transplanting a Sharingan into it?"

"Don't even think about it."

Naraku Uehara twisted the White Zetsu's neck with one hand. The White Zetsu's body instantly turned into a large tree, causing Kabuto to look on in amazement!

Naraku Uehara softly added, "Except for the Mangekyo Sharingan, other Sharingan have no value. Alright, that's it for now. You guys prepare well. After breaking through that base, be careful that those White Zetsu don't escape!"

After all, the Mayfly Technique was a very troublesome existence.

Before Naraku Uehara left, he gave another heads-up, "By the way, the whole ninja world has heard about Obito Uchiha's abilities, right?

If you encounter a counter-attacking Obito Uchiha, you can try to let that Edo Tensei Lord Second Hokage attempt to crack his ability.

Anyway, you can't pick out anyone in the entire ninja world who hates the Uchiha more than Tobirama Senju. Maybe the Edo Tensei Tobirama Senju will proactively cooperate?"

"Yes, many thanks, Lord Naraku."

Kabuto Yakushi respectfully nodded.

Naraku Uehara chuckled and patted Kabuto Yakushi's shoulder, "Alright, I can't have contact with Orochimaru right now, to avoid exposing any flaws.

After Orochimaru returns from Kusagakure, you can just tell him the good news that he can capture White Zetsu, and let Orochimaru be happy for a few more days.

After all, the next time I meet that Orochimaru fellow, his mood might become very bad."

"...Yes."

Kabuto Yakushi's expression was very helpless.

Why would his mood become very bad after you meet Orochimaru? Isn't this clearly bullying him?

Can't you just be a good person?

Kabuto Yakushi really hoped that Naraku Uehara could cooperate sincerely with Orochimaru for once. That way, he wouldn't have to be so conflicted.

Neither of them seemed like people who could be subservient to others.

And there could only be one mastermind behind the scenes in the entire ninja world.

Land of Grass.

Inside Kusagakure.

Orochimaru wasn't just here to talk business. He also wanted to get information about Zetsu from within Kusagakure, because Zetsu's identity in Akatsuki was that of a rogue ninja from Kusagakure.

Besides Konan, Nagato, and Obito Uchiha, all the other members believed that Zetsu was a rogue ninja from Kusagakure. After all, all members of Akatsuki were S-rank rogue ninjas, so Zetsu naturally fabricated such a rogue ninja identity.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

According to the intelligence Orochimaru obtained from the leader of Kusagakure, Zetsu had only joined Kusagakure midway, then quickly quit and became a rogue ninja.

It was as if Zetsu was trying to cloak himself in the identity of a Kusa-nin rogue.

Then its true origin was very much worth scrutinizing.

After Orochimaru left Kusagakure, he couldn't help but frown, "It seems I can only find a way to get information about Zetsu from an Akatsuki member. This body can support me for three years at most. I must capture a White Zetsu for experiments as soon as possible…"

The question was, which team could he easily handle?

The members of the Akatsuki organization were no weaklings. Each member had their own unique skills, and they even hid their own intelligence very well.

"Forget it."

Orochimaru sighed faintly and shook his head to himself, "Although I didn't get any information about Zetsu here, I did get an order from Kusagakure, which can supplement my funds and scarce resources."

Orochimaru didn't know that someone was spying on him from underground. Only after he left Kusagakure did a figure slowly emerge. It was Naraku Uehara.

After Naraku Uehara emerged from the ground, he looked in the direction Orochimaru had left and sighed, "The creditor is actually hiding from the one who owes money. If I don't add some interest, am I even human?"

After speaking, two pairs of wings slowly unfolded behind Naraku Uehara, gradually carrying him into the air above Kusagakure.

Naraku Uehara looked down at the brightly lit Kusagakure below, slowly spreading his palm. A fireball appeared in his palm!

Just as the Kusagakure ninjas looked up at the sky in surprise and uncertainty, shouting about an enemy attack, a deep voice resounded in their ears!

"Sucking a little girl's blood for your own lives will bring your lives to an early end. This is God's will… to annihilate you!"

Naraku Uehara threw the huge fireball down with one hand. After watching the fireball detonate a tall building, he touched his chin, "This feels too shameful. How on earth does Teacher Konan endure it…"

Boom!

That fireball detonated the tall building, the flames illuminating the sky!

Latest novels are first released on 69shu bar!

This burst of flames raised the curtain on the destruction of a ninja village!

The Kusagakure ninjas and villagers screamed and ran everywhere. Some Kusa-nin captains directed their subordinates to put out the fire and attack Naraku Uehara in the sky.

"Attack that winged bird-man up there!"

"Perfect timing! Quickly bring out the weapons Orochimaru just sold us, we can use them to test his weapons!"

A bizarre-looking cart was pushed out by the Kusa-nin. On the cart was a pile of strange warhead weapons, which made Naraku Uehara's eyelids twitch.

Are you kidding me?

Is that thing a missile or a rocket launcher?

This kind of thing isn't very ninja-like at all!

Naraku Uehara raised an eyebrow, thinking of the Asura Path Pain that Nagato was always tinkering with in his room. It seemed the Asura Path's body was also covered in missiles, almost equipped with all modern single-soldier weapons, and even seemed to have a laser weapon installed.

These things were indeed in line with the common sense of the ninja world.

After all, the technology tree of the ninja world had always been skewed.

Using advanced modern weapons on the ground, yet pushing them with the most primitive small carts of the ninja world.

Naraku Uehara slowly extended his arm, looked at Kusagakure on the ground, and his voice gradually became deep, "Fire Release: Pillar of Flame!"

Flames from underground suddenly erupted!

In Sage Mode, Naraku Uehara's skills had no cooldown at all. One after another, underground flames gushed out. In just a few seconds, the entire Kusagakure was turned into a sea of fire!

Whether it was the so-called weapons or the Kusa-nin's ninjutsu resistance, they were all completely crushed under the advantage of air supremacy and the coverage of Fire Release ninjutsu!

Naraku Uehara looked at the Kusa-nin fleeing under the illumination of the firelight. An even larger flame appeared in front of him, and it suddenly fell downwards, completely detonating the entire Kusagakure. The chakra in his body was also nearing exhaustion.

Side Mission: Destroy a ninja village (1/1). Mission completed. Reward: Skill - Arcane Comet.

Arcane Comet: Can summon a comet in the target area upon attack. Minimum skill cost: 100 chakra. Skill cooldown: 15 seconds.

Naraku Uehara glanced at this skill. It was roughly equivalent to Madara Uchiha's Tengai Shinsei, but to reach the level of Tengai Shinsei, it seemed a lot of chakra would be needed.

However, compared to the reward from this mission, Naraku Uehara valued the huge gains from Dark Harvest after destroying Kusagakure even more.

Dark Harvest: Passive skill. Each time a ninja is defeated, a portion of their power will be obtained from the enemy, increasing life energy by 10 points, chakra energy by 10 points, and natural energy by 10 points each time. Total provided: Life Energy 13,420 points, Chakra Energy 13,420 points, Natural Energy 13,420 points.
