Behind the Scenes from Naruto Novel

Chapter 20 - 20: Encounter


White Zetsu is really a dog that can’t change eating shit…

When these guys came into contact with Uchiha Obito, they were so curious about it. After more than ten years, they still haven’t improved at all.

This somehow revealed a flaw in front of Uehara Naraku.

When he met White Zetsu’s fake girl and start a conversation. Uehara Naraku completely affirmed one thing. The masked man was monitoring his trail.

After leaving the town, Uehara Naraku immediately looked for a hidden corner, used the mayfly technique that he just learned, sneak into the ground, and quietly ran away.

After the mysterious masked man lost the trace of Uehara Naraku, he is not in a hurry to find him, because he knew the mission location of Uehara Naraku. As long as he waited by the side of Hoshigaki Kisame, he will be able to meet him.

“It’s really a troublesome kid.”

The mysterious masked man held up the mask on his face, thinking about the next countermeasures: “The woman in Land of Keys who always missed that trash Kakashi, I heard that she is a spy cultivated in Jomae Village since she was a child. Let’s use it…!”

That woman is called Hanare.

The reason why he knows the information about that woman is because of Hatake Kakashi.

When he was a teenager, Kakashi was a little late to return to Konoha once on a mission. He mentioned that he saved a little girl on the road.

Occasionally, when the mysterious masked man was digging for secrets in Ninja world, he found that the woman name Hanare, trained in the Land of Keys had good talents in espionage. As long as she was taught a little, he could use her.

However, after observing Hanare for a few days he instantly lost his interest, the mysterious masked man discovered that Hanare the little girl Kakashi saved when he was a teenager, this woman has no interest in other people except for Kakashi.

In his opinion, Hanare’s favorite Hatake Kakashi is a waste, so he gave up soliciting Hanare.

Now the masked man needs a qualified spy candidate. His first thought is Kabuto, but Kabuto is a man, and he’s still lurking next to Orochimaru, and somewhat related to Sasori, which is not suitable.

The woman named Hanare is barely enough to be eye-catching, and there are some women’s methods that she could use to make Uehara Naraku accept her, right?

The masked man quickly worked out a perfect plan.

He was a little excited when he decided on his plan: “Hehehehe…I’m a genius!”

The heavy voice is gone and his words changed into a funny clown again: “Let Kisame fight that little devil, and when he is in death door, let that woman Hanare use her life to save him!”

He admires himself a little bit, if this strategy is not made by him, he can’t even tell the truth!

A space-time vortex appeared behind him, absorbing him as a whole, leaving only his neurotic voice: “Go and find the woman named Hanare first, and use the Land of Keys as a bargaining chip to threaten her!”

*****

Country of Fire, in a dense forest.

Uehara Naraku’s head came out of a tree, he looked at the surrounding, and he quietly appears when he noticed that there’s no one around.

The speed of Mayfly is very fast but consumes a lot of chakras. In order to be able to travel to the country of fire, Uehara Naraku upgraded his equipment.

*****

Equipment: Seraph’s Embrace

Chakra energy increased by 400 points, skill cooldown reduction increased by 20%, and Chakra consumption decreased by 25%.

*****

When he completed a series of side missions through advanced missions and the explosive tags are given by Konan, he accumulated more than 3,000 gold coins. But now there are only more than 1,000 gold coins left.

Uehara Naraku was a little bit distressed. After spending so much money, it only added 400 chakras, but at least it will make his chakras exceed 2000 points. If his chakras remain at full value, he can summon the Deep Sea Titan once.

However, Uehara doesn’t care about using equipment to accumulate chakra values, because advanced missions will reward him a lot of life energy and chakra energy. Now he is more concerned about chakra recovery, life energy recovery, and skill cooldown reduction brought by the equipment.

*****

Life energy: 1201/1201

Chakra energy: 133/2250

Life recovery: 2/sec

Chakra recovery: 1.5/sec

Remaining gold coins: 1070

*****

Because of the long underground journey, the chakras on his body are almost exhausted, and he needs to rest for more than 20 minutes to recover his chakras.

Twenty minutes is not short.

Uehara Naraku thought he had found a secluded place. But he forgot that this location is the fastest way from the west of the country of fire to Konoha, so many people were destined to pass by.

For example, two Konoha Anbu who rushed back from Kawa no Kuni (Land of Rivers) after completing their missions, a white-haired ninja wearing a mask walking on the road, holding an orange book in his hand and reading it as he walks, he seems a little addicted to it.

Walking next to him is a purple-haired ninja wearing a mask. Her Anbu uniform was fit on her body, making her tall and graceful.

“Let’s take a break around here.”

The voice of the purple-haired female ninja resembles an oriole bird spreading in the silent forest: “Senior, after returning to the village this time, are you going to quit Anbu?”

“Huh? That’s right.”

The white-haired ninja lowered his head and whispered softly: “Sandaime (Third Hokage) wants me to be a genin instructor and guide the graduating class in the village…”

“It’s a pity!”

The female ninja lowered her head, her purple hair draped randomly on her chest, she sighed and continued: “I hope I will have the opportunity to perform a mission with senior in the future.”

“Well, you don’t need to be so frustrated. If I’m not mistaken, your next partner is actually a very gentle guy…”

The white-haired Anbu Ninja’s voice suddenly stopped, his footsteps also stopped, he slowly turned his head and looked into the depths of the forest, and saw a man with a patterned mask resting under a big tree.

The purple-haired female ninja couldn’t help but also stopped. After following his gaze and seeing the masked man under the tree, the woman subconsciously pulled out her ninja sword.

This is an instinctive reaction of an Anbu Ninja.

The population in this area has already evacuated. This is because it’s close to Sunagakure and Amegakure. The pain caused by several Ninja Wars is too great. Most of the civilians who settle nearby have moved near the Konoha area.

What’s more, this masked man with a strange dress appears inexplicably in this dangerous forest. It must be a dangerous person!

“…”

At this moment, Uehara Naraku, who transforms into a mysterious masked man with Inherent Glamour, is also calming his mind. This is his first grand performance in Fire Country.

When he heard them talking just now, Uehara Naraku secretly observed for a while, but even if they have masks, he still recognized the white-haired ninja and the purple-haired female ninja.

Hatake Kakashi and Yugao Uzuki.

Because of this, after his chakra recovered, instead of using the mayfly technique to evade them, he thought of a wonderful idea.

This time, he will give the masked man big trouble.
