Behind the Scenes in Naruto World

Chapter 218: Let Me See Your Power, Uchiha Sasuke!



Chapter 218: Let Me See Your Power, Uchiha Sasuke!

Gaara truly was too young.

After seeing Kakashi and Uehara say that they would report this matter to the higher-ups of their respective villages, Gaara started to feel a little eager.

Kakashi thought that Gaara’s proposal might have a certain degree of practicality, so he decided to immediately return to Konoha to report this matter to Tsunade.

Uehara thought that Gaara’s proposal was impossible to realize, it was simply nonsense, but he also wanted to return to the village in the name of reporting to Hanzo.

They could only part here.

When they parted, Naruto smiled and waved eagerly at Uehara, waiting for them to meet again, “The next time we meet, it might be when I bring Sasuke back. At that time, friends who once participated in the Chunin exam together will be reunited!”

“Yes!”

Uehara replied with a friendly smile.

Uehara’s smile was very carefree. As for what he was thinking in his heart, well, those on Konoha’s side would have no idea.

Even if their imagination pierced the heavens, they would not guess what Uehara was thinking.

Well…

Uehara thought that when their Akatsuki organization gathered seven Bijuu, they would let Sasuke catch Kyuubi. He would not let Sasuke catch Hachibi lest he was cheated. It was not worth it.

Before that, he had to deal with the issue between Itachi and Sasuke. The battle between these two brothers was close.

Sasuke had grown a lot recently. He probably thought that his chances of winning were very low, so he wanted to endure for a while longer. However, Uehara and Kisame, who were smart people, knew that Sasuke’s chances of winning were 100%.

Moreover, Itachi’s body was deteriorating.

If Sasuke continued to endure, he might just torture his brother to death.

This was also because Itachi did not want anyone to treat him. In name, he was worried that someone would explore his secrets. In reality, he should be afraid that he would stay alive and well. If he accidentally killed his younger brother, Sasuke, what would he do?

Itachi wanted to die.

Perhaps, on the night of the extermination of his clan, Itachi had already wanted to die. It was just that his younger brother had not grown up yet, so he suppressed his wish.

Uehara had already calculated that after Itachi died in battle, he would use Itachi’s eyes to threaten Sasuke into capturing the Kyuubi. Otherwise, he would just sit there and watch Sasuke become blind…

However, before that, he still needed to think of a way to resolve a hidden danger. In Itachi’s hands, there was a crow that had Shisui Mangekyou Sharingan.

That crow was a big problem.

Uehara had to think of a way to deal with that crow. It would be best if he could take the initiative to lure Itachi into exposing that crow.

According to what Uehara knew, Itachi was moved by Naruto’s will to bring Sasuke back, convincing him to hide the crow in Naruto’s stomach. It was a backup plan if Naruto could not persuade Sasuke to turn back.

Of course, the crow didn’t use it on Sasuke. Instead, it allowed Impure World Reincarnation Itachi to regain control after he was resurrected.

That crow didn’t end up doing much…

In order to prevent Kotoamatsukami from falling into the hands of others, Itachi used Amaterasu to burn the crow into nothingness.

“Before this duel, I have to think of a way to destroy Itachi’s hidden Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan…”

Uehara touched his chin and still fell into deep thought. What should he do to make Itachi hand over that Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan?

Should he impersonate Naruto?

It was not a reliable plan.

Although Charming Transformation was powerful and it was difficult for ordinary ninjas to see through it, he would reveal his true body once he was attacked. Was it necessary to find a way to get Naruto to come forward and lure out Itachi?

“It seems possible…”

Uehara raised his eyebrows,

His fingers tapped his arm bit by bit, thinking about his plan. He might as well use the simplest approach. First, he would use Sasuke’s life to threaten Itachi or deceive him since he couldn’t let him reveal any information about me.

In the name of Amegakure, he would leak the information about Itachi and Sasuke to Konoha, get Konoha to send Naruto to hunt down Sasuke and Itachi, and then reveal Itachi’s whereabouts to Naruto to let the two of them meet.

If Itachi entrusted the crow with the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan to Naruto, then he would allow Itachi and Sasuke to fight. Otherwise, he could only use Sasuke’s life to threaten Itachi into a gamble!

The Kotoamatsukami was too big of a threat.

Uehara quickly finalized his plan.

He had to get rid of the hidden Mangekyou Sharingan of Itachi first. Otherwise, if that guy Itachi kept it and refused to use it, what if Itachi used it on him!

If Itachi used it on Uehara, wouldn’t he die?

Although Itachi would probably not pay attention to a minor character like Uehara, he would do this just in case!

After Uehara dealt with it, he would be able to play with Itachi and Sasuke in the palm of his hand, and he would be able to use these two brothers at will.

After all, Itachi and Sasuke these two people had to be related to the progress of Uehara’s main mission.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Uehara had to arrange all the people involved in the main mission properly, befitting his identity as the mastermind behind the scenes.

Sasuke was actually very easily used. He only needed to splash dirty water on the higher-ups of Konoha on the night of Uchiha’s extermination.

When Uehara returned to Akatsuki’s organization base, Kakuzu, Hidan, Itachi, and the others had already captured Kumogakure Nibi Jinchuuriki.

It was really too easy since they were dispatched as a group.

It was as simple as catching a kitten. They completed the task easily and contentedly.

Along the way, everyone did their own work. They did not encounter any trouble. However, since it was too easy to capture Nibi Jinchuuriki, they were a little uncomfortable. Everyone felt that the task of capturing Jinchuriki was more exciting than the task of attacking Konoha’s camp!

The members of Akatsuki’s organization gathered together and sealed the Nibi into the Gedo Mazo.

At the same time.

Black Zetsu also reported the information about Sanbi in time. He was more focused on the progress of Bijuu’s capturing plan than any member of Akatsuki’s organization.

After Ichibi and Nibi were sealed into Gedo Mazo, Black Zetsu asked the Akatsuki to capture the Sanbi.

“This is the area where Sanbi was reborn.”

After Black Zetsu’s voice handed over a map of the Land of Water, he said darkly, “Kirigakure’s protection of Sanbi’s place of rebirth is very thorough. At least a thousand ninjas are guarding nearby, and Kiri has already sealed off Sanbi’s surroundings and prevented all unrelated people from approaching.”

“Hahahaha, do they think they can protect Sanbi like this?”

Deidara had just helped to seal Nibi, and his body was still a little weak, but it did not affect his lively personality, “Then let us go again! In a few days, we will be able to catch the Sanbi. Don’t you agree, Uehara?”

“Uh, what?”

Uehara’s mind was a little unfocused.

Since he had been thinking about starting a fight between the Uchiha brothers, he didn’t hear Deidara’s greeting.

Deidara couldn’t hold back his fiery temper and shouted, “I said, let’s go to the Land of Water to catch Sanbi and eat seafood at the same time!”

To be honest, Deidara really liked going out with Uehara’s team for missions. Uehara and Nagato didn’t quarrel or make trouble.

Along the way, Uehara would even make do with what Deidara wanted to say, and he also liked to explode things…

They were also of the same age, and they had a lot of interests.

Most importantly, Uehara’s Summoned Beast Ancient Dragon was very cool!

“Sure, the right time won’t wait for anyone.”

Uehara nodded and looked at Deidara with a bit of disdain, “But I don’t want to take you with me this time. Last time, when we went to Sunagakure to capture Ichibi Jinchuuriki, your movements were too slow!”

“Bastard, what did you say!”

Deidara’s expression froze, and then he violently waved his hands, “I just helped you, yet you dislike your companions like this! I have always put in a lot of effort!”

“Okay, okay, I will take you flying.”

Uehara glanced at Tendo Pain, who was sitting on top of Gedo Mazo, and whispered, “This time, I want to move with Kisame and Itachi’s team. After all, Itachi-san’s Sharingan is very helpful for capturing Bijuu.”

“Sure.”

Tendo Pain nodded and ordered in a deep voice, “After you capture Sanbi, you don’t need to bring it back. Find a suitable place and use Astral Projection Jutsu. We will work together to seal Sanbi into Gedo Mazo.”

“Actually, it’s okay to bring him back, right?”

Deidara scratched his head and turned to look at Uehara. “I think it’s safer to bring it back and seal it.”

“Anything is fine.”

Uehara answered half-heartedly.

Deidara looked at Uehara and was so angry that his mouth was bulging again. How could this person do this? He thought that their relationship had become better!

Now, there is still a half-dead Yonbi Jinchuuriki in the base of Akatsuki. After capturing the Sanbi, it would be time to capture the Gobi…

The rate of their collection was too fast!

In fact, the most time-consuming part of the process for the Akatsuki was sealing the Bijuu. It took several days to seal a Bijuu into Gedo Mazo using the Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals.

After the sealing ended, most of the participant’s physical strength and chakra were emptied out, and they needed a period of rest.

Kakuzu slowly stood up and said in a low voice, “Since the mission to capture Sanbi does not need us, then I will kill a few people to replenish the funds of the organization. During the mission, we spent a lot of money on the road, and we can’t just sit around and eat nothing!”

“…”

Uehara’s eyebrows jumped. He looked up at Kakuzu and remembered Kakuzu and Hidan’s story. He asked softly, “Does Kakuzu-senpai have a target?”

“I’ll look everywhere!”

Kakuzu looked at Uehara and said casually, “Whether it is tens of thousands of Ryo, hundreds of thousands, or tens of millions of Ryo, I will not miss it!”

This guy really knew how to make money!

Even Uehara could not help but praise him. Kakuzu was the true financial manager of the Akatsuki. He felt embarrassed occupying Kakuzu’s position a few years ago…

After all, when Uehara was an accountant, he only knew how to collect money. Kakuzu was earning money!

Kakuzu touched the bounty manual in his hand and said softly, “This time, I received news of a person in the Fire Temple with a bounty of thirty million Ryo…”

“Okay.”

Uehara raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Mangetsu and Zabuza, “You don’t seem to have any missions recently, right? Why don’t you accompany Kakuzu-senpai?”

To be honest, Uehara was still a little worried about Mangetsu and Zabuza’s strength. He felt that the two of them could not protect Kakuzu.

Kimimaro and Haku were even worse off.

The Fire Temple was not a good place to fight in. It was very likely that it would attract a large number of Anbu Ninja from the surrounding area. Konoha was as curious as a cat that smelled fish when they noticed the Akatsuki’s movements!

Before Mangetsu could open his mouth and continue to think with Uehara, Kakuzu was immediately a little unhappy, “What are they going with me for? If they go, we have to spend more money!”

Uehara, “…”

This bastard liked money more than his life!

“Is money more important, or is life more important?”

Uehara looked at Kakuzu with displeasure and said, “The Fire Temple is very dangerous. Konoha has been looking for us!”

“But didn’t you just deal with Konoha a few days ago?”

Kakuzu snorted coldly and said confidently, “And for me, money is the most important thing in this world. I have many lives, but it is difficult for me to earn money.”

Uehara closed his eyes and sighed, “What you said is really reasonable! Then let Itachi-san, Kisame, Mangetsu, and Ringo come with you!”

“Hey, hey, hey, didn’t you hear what I said? It’s useless for these guys to go. I can deal with that guy named Chiriku myself!”

Kakuzu glanced at Uehara and said with dissatisfaction, “And didn’t you just ask Kisame and Itachi to capture Sanbi together?”

“I think the newcomers of the organization should exercise a little.”

Uehara’s fingers stiffened. He looked at Sasuke and softly said, “Sasuke, can your Sharingan control Bijuu?”

“…”

Sasuke slowly lowered his head and said in a low voice, “I can’t confirm it, but with my strength, I can easily defeat a Bijuu.”

“Sasuke can’t do it yet!”

Itachi said coldly, giving Sasuke a big slap in the face.

Itachi ignored the ugly expression on Sasuke’s face and continued to say, “So let Sasuke come with me to help Kakuzu-senpai!”

Clang! Clang!

Sasuke pulled out his ninja blade on the spot!

However, in the next moment, Uehara appeared beside Sasuke and pressed his ninja blade back. He chuckled and said, “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, I will be watching him. Even if Sasuke is in danger, I can save him.”

Uehara patted Sasuke on the shoulder and continued with a smile, “The last time I acted with Naruto, he’s become very strong now!

I also have to check out Akatsuki’s future talent. After all, Sasuke has been studying in our Akatsuki organization for three to four years, right? He can’t be worse than a ninja like Naruto, who grew up in Konoha, right?

Otherwise, why would I have worked so hard to bring you back? Itachi-san hated you very much when you joined the Akatsuki organization. He thought that your talent was too weak and that you were useless. Now, do you think you can be of some use in the Akatsuki organization? “

As Uehara spoke, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Sasuke with a kind smile, “Back then, I tried my best to rope you in to join Akatsuki. This time, I will also be your examiner during Sanbi’s capture.

If you can pass my examination, I will ask Pain-sama to make the idle Ringo your teammate and allow you to become an official member of Akatsuki. “

Uehara’s palm landed on Sasuke’s back again. He chuckled and continued, “If you can’t help with capturing Sanbi this time, and your performance is not as good as Naruto, then I can only let Itachi-san kill you and let him vent his anger.”

Itachi, “…”

“Don’t worry. I will personally catch Sanbi and make you recognize my strength.”

Sasuke gritted his teeth. At this moment, his first thought was to display enough strength to gain Uehara’s recognition.

The next second, Sasuke continued in a deep voice, “In the future, when we capture Kyuubi, I will personally take action and bring Naruto back! After Kyuubi’s sealing ends, I will have a life and death battle with Itachi. I have my revenge and kill Itachi, the person who exterminated the entire clan!”

“Very good.”

Uehara clapped lightly. He glanced at Itachi beside him and said with a smile, “You don’t have to wait until after capturing Kyuubi. As long as you show enough strength when capturing Sanbi, Pain-sama will agree to the duel between you two brothers!”

Uehara stared at Itachi’s face, stared at Itachi’s clenched palm, and chuckled. “Itachi-san, do you have any objections?”

“No.”

Itachi slowly closed his eyes and shook his head.

Uehara relied on Pain to take the initiative, so Itachi could only agree for the time being.

Uehara’s gaze passed Itachi and slowly stopped on Kisame. This shark face grinned imperceptibly.
