Chapter 18 - 18: Find Him A Friend


The first richest woman in Ninja World, she is so rich that it makes no sense.

Uehara Naraku left Akatsuki’s base carrying 100 million explosive tags and a chakra receiver that can summon Pain while Konan waved him goodbye.

In addition to him, they also need to perform their own tasks.

A woman with light blue hair stood at the base gate watching Uehara’s figure gradually disappear, the worry on her face did not fade.

Next to her, Uchiha Itachi’s expressions are a bit subtle.

She is one of the oldest members of Akatsuki’s organization. Seeing Konan’s appearance, he couldn’t help but said, “Huh, is it possible for a ninja to not face danger in his lifetime?”

Konan glanced at him frowned and said, “Naraku is different from us. He is only twelve years old this year and he is still a child…”

“When I was twelve years old, I already started performing mission alone!”

Konan’s face becomes even more dissatisfied, she glanced at Uchiha Itachi again: “Hey, Uchiha clan’s kid, your Konoha Ninja was twelve years old when they graduate, right?”

“Yes.”

Uchiha Itachi nodded. He graduated from the Ninja School at the age of seven. At the age of eleven, he had become one of Anbu’s captains. At the age of thirteen, he became Konoha’s S-rank missing-nin because of genocide.

Seeing Konan’s appearance, Uchiha Itachi decided to say a few words to calm her: “Konan-sama, he’s one year younger than me but his strength is already very strong… the first time we met, if not because of his carelessness, maybe I will lose.”

“Well…”

Konan’s mood started to calm down, she nodded and said: “Okay, now let’s go to Yugakure!”

“…”

Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes and sighed.

Sure enough, no matter what age or personality, as long as you follow their wishes, you can achieve what you want.

Konan took Kakuzu and Uchiha Itachi and left the base, they went to Yugakure to find the trace of Hidan. After a while, a space vortex appeared where they were standing.

The figure of the mysterious masked man emerged from the space vortex and said to the empty air: “Zetsu, I will go see the intern in the organization, I want to know what will he do to attract Kisame to join the organization…”

His voice is no longer had the ridiculous personality in the Akatsuki’s organization meeting, but a bit heavy and there is a gloomy and majestic voice in it.

A pitcher plant drilled on the ground, and a half white, half black monster appeared on the ground said with a hoarse voice: “Obito, why do you pay attention to a kid so much? His presence will not hinder us in collecting tail beasts in the future.”

“That kid named Uehara has no dark past!”

The mysterious masked man sneered, looked down at Zetsu on the ground, and continued: “Will he agree with our ideas in the future? Since Pain and Konan found him, they have been protecting him. This time if I don’t do anything. There may not be any opportunity in the future!”

“Huh? What do you want to do? If you kill him, Konan and Pain will definitely suspect us. Obito, this is not part of our plan.”

Zetsu shook his head, everything is now proceeding according to their plan. He doesn’t want Obito in front of him to deviate from it.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill him!”

The masked man reached out his hand to grasp the patterned mask on his face, and whispered: “I will manipulate Uehara Naraku, the same way I manipulate Uchiha Itachi fall into darkness…”

“You saw it before. He is only twelve years old and easily defeated a mixed ninja team. Now he has at least the strength of Jonin and maybe stronger in the future. He must not be loyal to Nagato! ”

When Konan and Uehara Naraku attacked the Ame Outpost, Zetsu and the masked man were secretly observing Uehara’s situation.

When they saw Uehara Naraku used Thunder Release ninjutsu and easily defeat the team of more than 20 people, Black Zetsu was in a good mood. He saw a lot of big pictures.

Black Zetsu’s hoarse voice was a little puzzled. It looked up at the masked man in surprise: “At the age of twelve, he has the chakra and power of a jonin level ninja. He is not worth paying attention to, such as Hatake Kakashi from Konoha Village. …”

“He is different from that trash Kakashi.”

The masked man interrupted Black Zetsu with a cold voice and cursed Konoha’s genius ninja who was promoted to jonin at the age of twelve.

If nothing else, Uehara Naraku will surely be able to reach the strength of a Kage class in the future. He belongs to the neutral faction of Akatsuki, but with help of Nagato and Konan unlike Kakuzu, Uchiha Itachi, and Sasori.

Uehara Naraku’s existence may be a potential danger to the masked man who wants to control Akatsuki’s organization on the bright side in the future.

But…

The masked man suddenly realized that if he controls Uehara Naraku, he could use the kid in a wider range.

The masked man can even use Uehara Naraku in reverse, making him a spy between Konan and Nagato and steal information about Konan and Nagato. He can also use Uehara Naraku to influence the actions of Konan and Nagato.

For example, in the future, when the time is right, Nagato can be guided to directly attack the major Ninja villages, causing him and the five major Ninja villages to fight!

“It will not be easy to change that kid…”

Black Zetsu whispered the information he had collected: “Uehara Naraku’s father died twelve years ago to protect Konan; his mother also died of illness a few months ago… Apart from Nagato and Konan, there are no other fetters on him.”

Breaking the fetters of a ninja and letting the ninja fall into darkness is the quickest way, and they also have some practical experience.

The problem is, Uehara Naraku is an orphan!

From the current point of view, Uehara Naraku and Konan have the deepest bond, but if Konan has an accident, Nagato may give up collecting tail beasts and directly incarnate into a Demon King.

If anything goes wrong with Nagato’s rinnegan, it’s a bit too monotonous to describe the gain more than the loss…

Not to mention Black Zetsu, the mysterious masked man will not allow this to happen, so he intends to guide Uehara through another method: “Fetters, such useless things can be cultivated.”

Black Zetsu looked at the masked man, feeling that he had heard something extraordinary: “Obito, do you want to arrange a friend for that kid? It is easy to destroy a bond, but it is much more difficult to cultivate… ”

“Huh, there is always a way.”

The mysterious mask man whispered: “Help me prepare a White Zetsu, I will prepare a suitable identity for it!”

Black Zetsu nodded helplessly: “All right if it makes you happy.”

Anyway, this is not an important thing. Success is good for them, but it doesn’t matter if it fails.

Uehara Naraku doesn’t know that someone wanted to arrange a friend for him but he got into trouble. He is not familiar with the geography of Ninja World since he never left the Country of Rain in the past.

And his mission is to go in the country of water to solicit Hoshigaki Kisame.

Not only to go to another country, but also to the sea.
