Chapter 215: Uehara Naraku, Our Akatsuki Organization is very Concerned about You
“Naruto, Sakura, Chiyo-dono, Sai, if they want to kill us and capture Naruto, then we will just wait for reinforcements or move closer to Guy-san and the others”.
Uehara glanced at the position of the members of Akatsuki’s organization. His gaze became more serious, and even his voice became slightly louder, “If they want to retreat, I will be responsible for tying down the strongest ninja among them. You guys can think of a way to save the Fifth Kazekage from Deidara or you can just hold them back!”.
“Okay!”.
Naruto and the others nodded one after another.
Uehara had long since proven his worth as a strategist.
Both the members of Akatsuki’s organization and Konoha’s Ninjas agreed with this point, so they all followed Uehara’s plan.
This was probably the peak of his life, right?
A person’s wisdom controlled the battle between the two sides.
Uehara secretly gave himself a thumbs up.
Sure enough, Nagato immediately understood Uehara’s message. He looked down at Deidara and Sasori beside him and said in a deep voice, “Since Uehara is here, he might have other reinforcements. Let’s retreat first!”
“Alright!”
“Okay!”
Sasori and Deidara turned around to leave.
Their actions immediately caught the attention of the others. Uehara flew towards Nagato and shouted, “Move out immediately!”
“Yes!”
Naruto, Sai, and Sakura rushed towards Deidara simultaneously. However, Deidara seemed to have been alerted and made the giant clay bird beneath him fly into the air.
“Ninpō, Chōjū Giga(Ninja Art: Super Beast Imitating Drawing)!”
Sai could only quickly draw a bird.
Unfortunately, Naruto and Sakura could only look in the direction Deidara flew and threw their kunai. The two of them basically had no long-range attacks.
Fortunately, when Uehara rushed to Nagato’s side, he noticed the movement. He raised his hand towards Deidara and released a flame!
“Don’t be too presumptuous, Uehara!”
Nagato watched as the flame knocked Deidara’s bird down from the sky. He couldn’t help but shout and fight with Uehara!
It seemed that the two of them had never officially fought before.
The more Nagato fought, the more surprised he became. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve into a smile, “Hehe… It seems like after I laughed at your body technique back then, you spent a long time training your body technique!”
“Of course.”
Uehara almost couldn’t keep the smile off his face, but he still forced out a hint of anger and said, “I don’t want Sensei to be disappointed in me, so I have worked harder than anyone else all these years!”
After blocking Nagato’s finger, Uehara punched at his chest, “Everyone is praising me for being a genius that crawled out of the common people, but I risked my life to obtain Sensei’s recognition. Don’t use the word genius to erase my efforts!”
“…”
Nagato was stunned.
At this moment, he could not tell if what Uehara said was true or not.
After all, over the years, many people had seen Uehara’s efforts in Amegakure. He had been diligently practicing hand seals from morning to night. When he was free, he would also practice hand seals alone.
When Akatsuki’s members or Ame Ninjas occasionally met Uehara, they would see him practice hand seals by himself, or it could be said that Uehara was studying his ninjutsu.
To be honest…
The speed Uehara formed hand seals did not match his efforts.
Fortunately, Uehara chose another path. Even though his hand seals were not fast, the power of his ninjutsu was very strong.
Uehara followed them from the age of twelve.
At that time, they had not occupied Land of Rain. Konan doted on him very much and was unwilling to let him stay alone in the strange base. Every time Konan went out to carry out missions, she would train Uehara or take him out to carry out missions.
Uehara did not fail to live up to Konan’s expectations. He carried out every mission beautifully. He even disregarded his own life and desperately wanted to get Konan’s approval and become a member of the Akatsuki.
In fact, Konan had long recognized his strength.
It was just that the path that Akatsuki organized was too dangerous, and the road ahead was uncertain. At that time, Nagato was also in a precarious situation, and every time he used the Rinnegan, his vitality would be reduced…
The appearance of Uehara added a new light to their lives.
Later, they killed all their enemies, occupied the Land of Rain and the Amegakure, and ensured that the Land of Rain would no longer have wandering orphans.
The Akatsuki’s plan was on the right track. The Amegakure also gradually became stronger, and Nagato’s life was temporarily relieved.
Most of it was done by Uehara.
Did he put in all his efforts just to not disappoint his Sensei?
Nagato could not help but quietly look at Uehara’s face. He could not help but sigh in his heart. The twelve-year-old child back then was now twenty years old!
In eight years, who knew how much effort Uehara had put in?
Nagato was not the only one to be in this kind of mood.
Even Naruto and Sakura, who were still fighting on the side, couldn’t help but look at Uehara after hearing what Uehara said.
Because they also had an impression of what Uehara said.
When Sasuke was called a genius, he had once said those words to others with disdain. He had risked his life to do it. How dare they use the word genius to erase a person’s efforts?
At this moment.
Naruto’s favorability towards Uehara rose rapidly.
Sakura’s favorability towards Uehara rose rapidly.
“…”
Uehara punched Nagato on the shoulder, waking him up from his daze. He waved his hand and subconsciously released a repulsive force!
Almighty Push.
Uehara suddenly crossed his arms in front of his chest. At the same time, he also recalled all his strength as to not resist.
Almighty Push had a weakness.
If the opponent’s strength were stronger than the caster, the caster would be sent flying!
Uehara did not have was not confident. If Nagato were pushed away by Almighty Push’s counter-effect, it would be really funny…
Sure enough, Uehara was sent flying!
However, he did not give up his ability to resist. He formed a hand seal and released a super large-scale water-style ninjutsu, “Suiton, Tidal Waves!”
A vast tsunami rose from beneath Uehara and swept towards the Nagato and the others. The first to suffer was Chiyo and Sasori. The two of them had no choice but to give up the battle and go with the flow.
Then Nagato slowly stretched out his palm, gestured at the incoming tsunami, and whispered, “Gakidō(Preta Path)!”
He instantly absorbed the vast tsunami!
Naruto shouted to Uehara, “Uehara, Ninjutsu is useless on him. I suspect that he has the ability to absorb Chakra!”
“I know of this ability! But without using powerful ninjutsu, how can it attract his attention!”
Uehara loudly replied. After looking at Nagato casually absorbing Tidal Waves’ chakra, he once again rushed towards his position!
Even if Nagato and Uehara each held back, the battle was far more exciting than others had imagined.
Just the physical confrontation between made everyone exclaim in admiration!
Kakashi did not have the strength to fight Nagato, but Uehara and Nagato were almost evenly matched!
Unfortunately, Uehara was still helpless against Nagato. Towards the end of the battle, he became exhausted and could not stop Nagato from supporting Sasori and Deidara…
Instead, Konoha’s Ninjas and Chiyo managed to gain an advantage!
At the very least, with the combined strength of Naruto, Sai, and Sakura, they broke through Deidara’s bomb blockade and found Gaara within the giant clay bird Uehara had shot down!
But…
Gaara had already turned into corpses. It was unknown whether rescuing the Kazekage could be considered a success or a failure.
“Hmph!”
Nagato sent everyone flying with a palm. He said coldly, “Since you want a corpse, then take it back!”
“Bastard!”
Naruto looked at Nagato and the others with a ferocious expression.
Sakura and Chiyo also looked angry.
Sasori snorted coldly and looked at the body that had been snatched away unhappily, “Fifth Kazekage, he was material I want to use as a puppet. He was the third collectible I wanted… Granny, you shouldn’t have come.”
“Sasori.”
Chiyo slowly clenched her fists and looked at Sasori, saying word by word, “Sunagakure is my home. I will not let anyone who hurts Sunagakure go. For the sake of the village, I will be willing to sacrifice everything and even kill my relatives!”
“This is the darkness of the village.”
Sasori looked at Chiyo and coldly snorted and said with a face full of disdain, “You are so willing to sacrifice your relatives for the sake of the village. Have you forgotten the original purpose of your village? Wasn’t it to protect them?”
“…”
Chiyo’s face seemed to be struck by lightning.
However, in the next moment, Chiyo reacted. She shook her head and personally held Gaara’s corpse in her arms. She said coldly, “Uehara-dono, Naruto, Sakura, Sai, let’s go!”
“Don’t go…”
Deidara violently took out a clay bomb!
However, Uehara stood in front of them, blocking Deidara’s pursue. He sized up Nagato, Sasori, and Deidara. Step by step, he protected Chiyo and Naruto as they slowly retreated.
Nagato opened his mouth to stop Deidara and said in a deep voice, “Deidara, step back! Since this little brat Uehara has appeared here, he definitely won’t take the risk. There must be reinforcements behind!”
This sentence was both a reminder to Deidara and a reminder to Uehara.
The corners of Uehara’s mouth twitched. It seemed like Nagato was still worried that he was in danger. As a spy, he naturally had to answer the intelligence.
Uehara snorted coldly and said, “You know me too well!”
“Of course.”
Nagato pinched the ring on his hand and said meaningfully, “Uehara, we, Akatsuki, are very concerned about you, so we will not miss any information about you.”
“Humph!”
Uehara leaped up and jumped onto a big tree. He clenched his fist and looked at Nagato, “The Akatsuki doesn’t have to worry. Once I return to Amegakure and gather the manpower, we will have a chance to meet again!”
This goodbye felt a little bone-deep.
Nagato watched as Uehara and the others walked further and further away. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, go back and report to Konan! Uehara will be back soon!”
