After Tsunade and Uehara Naraku left the small black room, they returned to the Hokage’s office and chatted for a while. Since the alliance plan was confird, the next step was to implent the plan.
Uehara Naraku, Gaara, and Terumi i would act together with Tsunade, forming a strong main combat team.
As for the other main combat team, it was personally led by Jiraiya, directly bringing the previous generation Ino-Shika-Cho for action.
This configuration...
It’s a bit terrifying.
Just the power of these two main combat teams is more than enough to crush the six mbers of Akatsuki like Kakuzu, Hoshigaki Kisa, and others!
Even the combat power of the encirclent teams should not be underestimated. Among them, the Third Class led by Might Guy and the Seventh Class led by Hatake Kakashi are also tasked with encirclent missions.
Those six mbers of Akatsuki are really not worth ntioning.
When the eting ended, the Konoha Ninja began making preparations in advance, with hundreds of perception ninjas already dispatched to the areas where Akatsuki is active.
Uehara Naraku started thinking about how to arrange things.
The cards in Konoha’s hand were just too good. Even if they had a spy, this lineup wasn’t sothing that six mbers like Hoshigaki Kisa and Kakuzu could handle.
To be honest.
If he weren’t here, the lineup dispatched by Konoha would probably be enough to wipe out the entire Akatsuki organization.
Aside from Jiraiya and Tsunade, they also dispatched a guy nad Might Guy, and there’s also Uzumaki Naruto who can use Tailed Beast powers and the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, making Uehara Naraku quite stressed.
Uehara Naraku had no choice but to call for reinforcents.
Uehara Naraku quietly used his will to control a Reanimation Body he hadn’t communicated with for a long ti, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, who was beside Yakushi Kabuto.
In a base far away in the distance.
While Yakushi Kabuto was diligently conducting experints, a coffin quietly opened, and the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato suddenly ca out, with Uehara Naraku’s voice coming from his mouth.
"There’s sothing that needs you to do."
After contemplating for a while, Uehara Naraku spoke softly: "I’m currently a bit inconvenient, so I need soone to assist Uchiha Obito in attracting attention from those two powerful teams."
"Very simple."
Yakushi Kabuto thought for a while, then smiled and pushed up his glasses, speaking in a low voice: "Lord Naraku, tell who are in those two teams! I will dispatch suitable Reanimation Bodies and have the Fourth Hokage use the Flying Thunder God to take them there."
Uehara Naraku nodded and said: "The first team, Jiraiya, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Chouza."
"I understand."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded, speaking softly: "One of the Konoha Sannin, Jiraiya, and the previous generation Ino-Shika-Cho, huh? It seems we can directly send the Fourth Hokage to deal with them, after all, he and those people are old friends!"
"Makes sense."
Uehara Naraku furrowed his brows, speaking softly: "I’m just worried he’ll leak information, but I’m also concerned that if the Fourth Hokage’s will is erased, he might get sealed due to ineffective combat."
"Lord Naraku could send one more person!"
Yakushi Kabuto chuckled, offering his suggestion: "There seems to be no better candidate than the Third Hokage!"
"Brilliant, we could help them choose their opponents."
Uehara Naraku couldn’t help but want to praise Yakushi Kabuto; this guy always liked using opponents who shared bonds.
So the end result...
Was Yakushi Kabuto becoming a dream-weaver.
Uehara Naraku slowly raised his fingers, chuckling lightly: "Then I’ll send the Second Hokage to battle Tsunade and our team; and the Third and Fourth Hokage to fight Jiraiya’s team."
"Yes."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded seriously, "I will also go with the Fourth Hokage, to ensure there are no mistakes in Lord Naraku’s plan."
"Yes, that’s fine."
Uehara Naraku nodded.
After arranging opponents and teammates on his side, Uehara Naraku urgently contacted Uchiha Obito, instructing him to convey information to Hoshigaki Kisa and to relay his orders.
"I’ve already dealt with the two most troubleso teams for you, so have Kakuzu, Hidan, Ayuri Ringo, and Hozuki Mangetsu retreat now, leaving only you and Uchiha Itachi to cover the retreat.
After a while, you should contact Lord Pain to create Form Transformation Puppets of Deidara and Kimimaro, to cover your retreat. Make sure no accidents happen in between."
After Uehara Naraku finished speaking, still feeling uneasy, he added: "If Might Guy becos too much trouble, I’ll have Uchiha Obito step in if necessary. Rember, ensure the battle between Uchiha Itachi and Uzumaki Naruto!"
The Form Transformation Puppet is one of the Rinnegan’s abilities, enabling a distant ninja to control a regular ninja as a sacrifice. While the sacrifice only possesses thirty percent of the Chakra of the controller, they can use their equipnt and Kekkeigenkai.
However, once the chakra is exhausted, the Form Transformation Puppet will die.
For this grand sche, Uehara Naraku can be said to have exhausted his ntal resources, truly utilizing many of his relationships.
Hoshigaki Kisa didn’t hesitate, and relayed the information from Uehara Naraku, imdiately instructing Kakuzu, Hidan, Ringo Ayuri, and Hozuki Mangetsu to retreat, leaving him and Uchiha Itachi behind to cover the retreat.
Hidan wasn’t too happy, clutching his religious instrunt and complaining: "I rarely get a chance to kill more people and offer enough sacrifices to the Evil God..."
Hoshigaki Kisa coldly eyed Hidan, and said in a deep voice: "The leader ordered us to obey Uehara’s commands. The enemy is very strong, a little carelessness could cost your life."
Hidan pouted, grumbling discontentedly: "Then tell the leader that I don’t want to follow his orders. This opportunity..."
Crack!
Hidan’s head was directly chopped off!
Ringo Ayuri casually bit on a lollipop, nonchalantly putting away her ninja blade, squatted down to grab Hidan’s hair, and turned around holding his head to leave.
Ringo Ayuri’s actions were straightforward and direct.
Hidan stared blankly at his body lying on the ground and cursed, "Are you crazy, woman? How dare you chop off my head... it hurts, it hurts, stop pulling my hair! Hey, Kakuzu, bring my body along!"
"Idiot."
Kakuzu glanced at Hidan, bent down to carry Hidan’s body, and caught up with Ringo Ayuri, while Hozuki Mangetsu couldn’t help but laugh and followed their group.
Watching them leave, Hoshigaki Kisa then chuckled and looked at Uchiha Itachi, "Because our squad is the strongest, we’re the rear guard. Itachi-san, you don’t have any objections, right?"
"None."
Uchiha Itachi shook his head.
After a while, Uchiha Itachi spoke softly, "This is also my last ti seeing an old friend, haven’t you guys already arranged my destiny?"
After returning, Uchiha Itachi would duel with Uchiha Sasuke.
As for the outco of the duel, both Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisa were well aware of it, having long made it clear between them.
"You still have a chance to change."
Hoshigaki Kisa looked at Uchiha Itachi and advised, "If you still want to change your fate, you’d better let know early. Otherwise, if you disrupt the master’s plans, it’ll be troubleso for too."
"My fate is already determined."
Uchiha Itachi extended his hand, watching the sunlight filtering through the leaves onto him, leaving a shadowed area.
Yes, his fate was already determined.
However...
Sasuke’s fate could still change.
Whether Uchiha Sasuke would eventually return to Konoha or be sheltered by Hoshigaki Kisa and his backers depended on this encounter with the Konoha Ninja.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Itachi didn’t know that this encounter was deliberately arranged for him, sparing no effort.
In Konoha Village.
Uehara Naraku, in a hidden corner, quietly released the Reanimation of the Second Hokage and the Third Hokage, looking very satisfied at their condition.
"What a pity, if it weren’t for the concern of you leaking information, I really wanted to let you see your old friends!"
"You evil brat!"
Senju Tobirama suddenly stirred up the chakra within, trying to break free from Uehara Naraku’s control, but his strength was far from enough.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glumly looked at Uehara Naraku and sighed sorrowfully, "Uehara Naraku, are you finally going to act against Konoha? A villain hidden in darkness can never defeat the just under the sun..."
Uehara Naraku looked speechlessly at Sarutobi Hiruzen, shook his head, and said, "Ah, Third Hokage, don’t you know how bad your reputation in the Ninja World is? Anyway, when I eventually reanimate Sarutobi Asuma, I’ll let him tell you!"
"Asuma?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s expression changed but gradually turned calm, "So Asuma has also fallen victim? That boy..."
"Let’s wrap up the conversation here!"
Uehara Naraku ford a few hand seals with his fingers, montarily extinguishing their wills, then chuckled lightly, "Ti is running short..."
After doing all of this.
Senju Tobirama extended his hand onto Sarutobi Hiruzen, taking him and using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to directly leave Konoha.
In the Land of Rain.
The base of the Akatsuki.
After receiving intelligence and a request from Uehara Naraku, Pain imdiately used Form Transformation Jutsu remotely to create Form Transformation Puppets of Kaguya Kimimaro, Uchiha Sasuke, Haku, Sasori of the Red Sand, and Deidara, among others.
The mbers of the Akatsuki are quite important.
Even if the puppets made die, it doesn’t matter.
Deidara sat cross-legged in the base, controlling his Form Transformation Puppet, feeling a bit unhappy, "Transmitting all my chakra there only leaves with thirty percent chakra, the efficiency is too low. I might as well just launch a super explosion!"
Pain shook his head indifferently, "Do whatever you want, as long as you can cover Kisa and Uchiha Itachi’s retreat."
"Of course, we need to cover that bastard Itachi’s retreat!"
Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fist and whispered, "If he doesn’t return, how can I kill him!"
Now, everyone was ready.
Uehara Naraku looked satisfied at the main storyline progress increasing by several percent and compared the two factions.
Konoha’s side: Jiraiya and the previous generation’s Ino-Shika-Cho Squad, Tsunade, Terumi i, Gaara, and Uehara Naraku (spy), Might Guy and his Third Class, Hatake Kakashi and his Seventh Class, among several converge squads, and a group of Perception Ninja.
Akatsuki’s side: Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisa, Sasori of the Red Sand (Form Transformation Puppet), Deidara (Form Transformation Puppet), Haku (Form Transformation Puppet), Kaguya Kimimaro (Form Transformation Puppet), Uchiha Sasuke (Form Transformation Puppet).
Hidden participating mbers: Yakushi Kabuto, Uchiha Obito, Second Hokage, Third Hokage, Fourth Hokage.
Who could have thought, the play so ticulously arranged by Uehara Naraku was actually just to draw out Uchiha Itachi’s Kotoamatsukami Crow?
