Chapter 254: The More Ninjas in Iwagakure the Better


Chapter 254: The More Ninjas in Iwagakure, the Better

In the dark coffin.

Itachi felt a trace of despair in his heart.

However, before the last moment, Itachi was still unwilling to give up.

Itachi’s eyes gradually became firm. He said in a low voice, “Although I failed, there will still be other people in the world who can dispel your fog and dispel the darkness that you brought to this world…”

“You think too much.”

Uehara chuckled as he looked at Itachi who was standing in the coffin. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Itachi-san, since I am the one who brought darkness to the world, why can’t I be the one who brings light to the world?”

“…”

Itachi was speechless.

Kabuto waved his hand, and the pitch-black coffin lid fell down, sealing Itachi inside and making him fall into a deep sleep.

“Alright.”

Uehara waved at the people present and said softly, “I am in a much better mood now. Tomorrow, we will be preparing to capture Gobi Jinchuriki. Kabuto, Kisame, go back and rest early!”

Kabuto, “…”

Kisame, “…”

Obito, “…”

Did you resurrect Itachi in the middle of the night just to get a sense of accomplishment and pleasure from his despair?

As a villain.

No, as a mastermind behind the scenes.

When he told the people about his plan, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment when he looked at their shocked or terrified expressions.

As expected of you, Uehara-sama!

To expose the truth of his control in front of the people in despair and look at the shock on their faces, he could do such a thing!

However, according to Uehara’s plan, there might be more such things happening in the future. Thinking about it, they felt despair for the people who were manipulated.

Of course, Uehara was not as shallow as they thought.

This arrangement of Itachi not only made Uehara feel better but also increased the progress of the main mission by seven percent.

This showed one thing.

The progress of the main mission could also be improved in another way.

As a qualified mastermind behind the scenes, he had to learn to reveal the truth that he controlled everything. Otherwise, what was the point of secretly laughing behind their back?

Everyone should be happy when he was happy.

When Uehara came out from Amegakure, his face was so gloomy. Even Kisame and Kabuto, these confidants, did not dare to provoke him.

Now, Uehara’s heart seemed to be blooming with joy.

At least he could have a good night’s sleep and not worry about how to kick Nagato and Konan out of Akatsuki’s organization.

The next day.

The base of Akatsuki’s organization.

Just as a new meeting was about to begin, Sasuke found Uehara and said softly, “Uehara-senpai, can I team up with you?”

Sasuke did not know what had happened last night.

Sasuke thought for a night in his room and decided to choose a partner who was the most helpful to him. Uehara was a medical ninja and was also powerful. No matter how he looked at it, he was the most favorite teammate of Akatsuki’s organization.

Moreover, Uehara and his brother Itachi knew each other the earliest, had the deepest friendship, and had the best relationship. This was also why Sasuke wanted to choose Uehara.

Sasuke also wanted to be like his brother, to have a loyal friend like Uehara.

“Of course.”

Uehara stretched out two fingers and knocked on Sasuke’s forehead. Like a kind brother, he smiled and said, “Then I will have to trouble Sasuke to help me in the future.”

“Senpai…”

Sasuke nodded in shame and said softly, “I will prove to Senpai that I have the power. I will not embarrass Itachi!”

“But you must learn to protect yourself first.”

Uehara shook his head.

He touched his chin and said, “It doesn’t seem to matter. My medical ninjutsu is still very strong.”

“Well…”

Sasuke nodded.

This was something that no one could refute.

According to the discussion between Nagato and Uehara, they had indeed decided to capture Gobi, Rokubi, and Nanabi Jinchuriki.

Tendo Pain looked at everyone present and announced his orders in a low voice, “Kakuzu, Hidan, Ringo, Kisame, Suigetsu, Mangetsu, you go capture Nanabi Jinchuriki.”

“Understood.”

Kakuzu nodded with a muffled voice.

Kakuzu was a ninja from Takigakure. He knew the terrain of the Country of River and Takigakure like the back of his hand. If he wanted to capture Nanabi there, the others would not be able to do so without Kakuzu’s command.

Tendo Pain turned to look at Uehara and whispered, “Uehara, Sasuke, Sasori, Deidara, Kabuto, you go to Iwagakure to capture Gobi Jinchuriki. Is there a problem?”

This was based on strength.

Although the strength of Uehara’s team was one less member than Kakuzu’s team, there was no doubt that their strength was sufficient.

“No problem.”

Uehara also nodded hurriedly.

Deidara put his hand on Uehara’s shoulder excitedly and said with a smile, “This time, I have to go to Iwagakure to find trouble with the old man. Hey, Uehara, arrange a grand appearance for me. I want to let the old man see it!”

“What?”

A question mark appeared on Uehara’s face.

“That kind of super handsome appearance!”

Deidara spread out his palm and explained with a smile, “I just want Onoki, that old man, to take a closer look…”

“I understand what you mean.”

Uehara interrupted Deidara and looked at him strangely and nodded, “Well, I will find a way to arrange it for you.”

A traitor wanted to be so arrogant when he returned to his hometown…

He was really afraid that Deidara would be beaten to death by Onoki!

“Alright.”

Tendo Pain looked down at the crowd and continued in a deep voice, “I will personally capture Rokubi. Kimimaro, Haku, you will guard the base.”

This time, Six Paths of Pain would participate to capture Rokubi!

Uehara was not worried. After all, Six Paths of Pain should be stronger than in the anime, especially Shurado(Asura Path), which had been modified by Nagato countless times.

Since the general distribution had been decided, everyone did not talk too much nonsense. Each team set out to capture the Bijuu.

Although the collective action was relatively slow, it was still safer.

During this period of time, Akatsuki’s organization had captured so many Bijuu, and they had only lost one member, Zabuza, who was planning to defect at any moment, and Itachi.

An ancient dragon flew towards Iwagakure.

It had to be said that as Uehara’s teammates, they were very relaxed and comfortable, especially Deidara and Sasori, who had carried out several missions with Uehara. They liked the feeling of flying through the wind more and more.

“Deidara.”

Uehara glanced at Deidara, who was laughing and stretching his arms. How could this joker always be so happy?

Uehara’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch. He still asked about the business, “Hey, Deidara, come here and let’s discuss the strategy! Other than Third Tsuchikage, is there anyone else who needs our special attention? So as to avoid unnecessary losses.”

“Okay!”

Deidara nodded, and his face gradually became serious, “The first one is our target this time, Jinchūriki of the Steam Han. This guy is definitely different from when we captured other Jinchuriki.”

After Deidara finished speaking, just as the others gradually became serious. He suddenly waved his hand and said, “But don’t worry, I can easily get rid of that guy!”

“…”

Just as the others were speechless, Deidara’s expression finally became serious, “You need to be careful of that old man Onoki, and uncle Kitsuchi!”

Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki of Both Scales.

The son of Third Tsuchikage, Kitsuchi.

One was a ninja who could use Dust Release Bloodline Limit, and the other was a ninja who could use Earth Release to the extreme. These two people were the most troublesome.

In addition to these two people, Deidara did not seem to care about other messy guys. Occasionally, he also mentioned a little girl called Kurotsuchi.

“Oh, Kurotsuchi is Uncle Kitsuchi’s daughter.”

Deidara pouted and continued to analyze, “Kurotsuchi’s talent seems to be not bad. She has mastered the Lava Bloodline Limit since she was young. However, this kind of Bloodline Limit is actually very ordinary in Iwagakure. You can easily find a lot of them…”

“…”

Uehara looked at Deidara speechlessly. He could not tell from Deidara’s face that he was interested in this Kurotsuchi.

“There is another troublesome thing.”

Deidara pouted and continued with an unhappy face, “Iwagakure has a lot of ninjas. If I threw a bomb in the house when I was young, I blow up four or five ninjas.”

“That’s right.”

Kabuto nodded and said in a deep voice, “If I remember correctly, the number of ninjas that Iwagakure mobilized in the previous ninja wars is the sum of the other villages ninja in total. This is also the reason why they can often fight on both sides.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Uehara stood on the back of the ancient dragon, looking down at the barren mountains. He smiled and said, “The more ninjas Iwagakure has, the better.”
