Chapter 179: I don’t even know how to lose this battle!
When the participant was determined, Uehara didn’t even know how to lose this battle!.
With this lineup, it was even possible to destroy a village.
Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame, Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu, Hidan, Momochi Zabuza, Hozuki Mangetsu, Yuki Haku, Kaguya Kimimaro, Zetsu, Uehara Naraku, and Nagato.
Oh, there was another addition named Uchiha Sasuke.
After all, Itachi doesn’t want his brother to stay alone in Akatsuki base.
It also comes with countless troubles.
Because the other members of the Akatsuki organization were not convinced with Uehara’s strength. Only those from Kirigakure knew Uehara’s real strength and became his follower, especially the strongest Kisame and Mangetsu.
And also, Deidara, Sasori, Kakuzu, and Hidan, these two teams, would quarrel when they stayed together and made a fuss about each other.
Just as Deidara and Hidan were about to fight, Uehara suddenly said in a loud voice, “Ah!!.. Senpai, look there, the volcano has erupted!”
“What?”
Everyone looked at Uehara in surprise and then followed the direction he pointed. Where was the volcanic eruption?
Deidara glared at Uehara dissatisfiedly, “Where was it! Hey, Uehara, you bastard is lying!”
“I did not. Look carefully!”
Uehara suddenly snapped his fingers and released his Pillar of Flame skill.
Just as everyone was a little confused, a powerful flame suddenly erupted from an area several kilometers in the distance!
The flames almost rushed into the sky thousands of meters high and even stained the blue sky with a touch of red.
Even if everyone in Akatsuki was still some distance away from the center of the flames, they still felt the burning sensation from the air.
“…”
Everyone’s jaws were almost scared off!
No one at the scene underestimated the strength of Uehara, but casually releasing fire-release ninjutsu capable of destroying the world still frightened this group a little.
Regardless of the distance or range of this ninjutsu and coupled with the extremely fast releasing speed, everyone’s hearts shuddered.
Could this level of ninjutsu be avoided?
Of course, you can’t.
No wonder Uehara could easily destroy Kusagakure.
Even the most detached Deidara and Hidan, after seeing Uehara’s ninjutsu become a little bit honest.
Uehara slowly turned around and looked at everyone present. He suddenly closed his palms and smiled, “I believe everyone will cooperate sincerely for this task, right?”
Everyone glanced at Uehara and subconsciously frowned their brows.
Itachi lowered his head, suppressing the horror in his heart. This level of fire ninjutsu clearly surpassed his cognition.
Even the Uchiha clan does not possess such powerful fire ninjutsu!
Sasuke’s eyes faintly gleamed. He glanced at his brother and couldn’t help but chuckle. Was his brother scared?
Was this a genius ninja?
Sasuke was confident to copy Uehara’s ninjutsu with his Sharingan as long as he got an opportunity. Even Itachi was afraid of this powerful ninjutsu that could destroy the world!
“He gets stronger again!”
Kisame grinned.
He was not surprised at Uehara’s power.
Nagato pressed the hat on his head, and the corners of his mouth raised, “Uehara, this little guy is really much stronger than before!”
“Konan really taught a good disciple!”
Sasori snorted coldly. In fact, he hated this kind of super large-scale ninjutsu the most because this kind of powerful ninjutsu restrained a puppet master like him.
“As sensei’s disciple, of course, I can’t embarrass her!”
Uehara went on Nagato’s side and asked in a low voice, “How did I behave just now? Are they scared?”
“…”
Nagato nodded silently.
Obviously, the effect of Uehara’s action was very significant, and everyone present looked at his words squarely.
The road to the Country of Grass went much smoother.
Akatsuki intelligence personnel sent a piece of information.
There was a Konoha ninja squad active on the Country of Rain and Country of Grass border.
“Enclose them, leave someone alive, and kill the others.”
Uehara’s strategy was straightforward and crude.
The Akatsuki member was almost all here. Wasn’t this how to fight and how to win?
Akatsuki’s members were also very satisfied with Uehara’s strategy.
After all, most Akatsuki members like to rely on their strength to go straight up, they don’t worry about the enemies they encounter, and they can’t beat them anyway.
In a Canyon at the border of the Country of grass and Country of rain.
The Konoha’s Anbu squad members gathered and exchanged information with each other, confirming that Amegakure was not concerned about what was happening in the Country of grass.
“Hello, Konoha friends, how are you?”
A voice suddenly fell into the ears of every member of the Anbu team, and they quickly reacted, grasping the weapon in their hands looking around vigilantly.
They saw a ninja dressed in a black robe with red clouds printed on it appeared on a rock.
Since Itachi and Kisame once invaded Konoha, these Anbu received orders from Hokage Building to immediately retreat after meeting Akatsuki’s members.
After all, a mercenary organization composed of a group of S-class missing-nin was not something an Anbu ninja could handle.
According to Tsunade’s assessment of their combat power, Konoha needs at least three Anbu squads to contend with one of them.
“People from Akatsuki?”
The leader of the Anbu squad faced change, and he immediately assigned the task, “Toyokawa, you are the fastest among us, brings the intelligence back. The others will cover him with me, and everyone will concentrate on retreating temporarily!”
However, the face of this Anbu squad leader suddenly became very ugly because ninjas wearing a black robe with red clouds appeared around them.
At least ten members of Akatsuki.
Among them were Itachi and Kisame, who once invaded Konoha.
Let alone the Konoha squad trying to escape, it would be nice to leave a whole body. Even their headcount was not enough to contend them.
“I’m commanding well, right?”
Uehara turned his head and smiled at Nagato beside him. Relying on his Destiny skills, he calculated the direction of movement of the Konoha Anbu and successfully surrounded them.
Nagato nodded helplessly.
Konoha Anbu squad rushed towards the weakest direction somewhat tragically. In their opinion, it should be Kimimaro and Haku who were the easiest to deal with!
Kimimaro slowly rushed to meet the charging Anbu squad, and bones began to drill out of his body, “Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru!” (Dance of the Clematis: Vine)
The other members watched Kimimaro’s performance as if they were watching a monkey show.
Five minutes later.
Kimimaro carried a half-dead Anbu and threw it in front of Uehara. He then whispered, “Uehara, this guy is the strongest and should be their captain.”
“Then I can only ask you to find out the information in his brain.”
Uehara looked at Nagato next to him.
Nagato nodded and stretched out his palm to pat the head of the Konoha Anbu. He shouted in a low voice, “Kyūkon no Jutsu!” (Absorption Soul Technique)
After checking the information, Nagato suddenly pulled out the soul of the Anbu squad leader and whispered, “Konoha sent a total of 13 Anbu squad to the Country of Grass and scattered it in various places. There are also 300 ordinary ninjas.”
“Our mission is only to clear the Anbu squad, right?”
“Yes.”
Nagato nodded and said, “Perhaps Onoki doesn’t think we can handle the huge number of ninja forces, so he only entrusted us with clearing the Konoha Anbu. Or maybe because these Anbu have been attacking and killing the Iwagakure’s ninjas sent to gather information.!”
Uehara couldn’t help but sigh, “Hey, it’s not easy to find the remaining twelve Anbu squad from a place as big as Country of Grass!”
Hidan came over with his sickle and licked his lips, “Won’t we finish the mission in killing all the Konoha Ninjas?”
“I still think we should make as much money as possible.”
Kakuzu glanced at Hidan scornfully and said in a deep voice, “If we help them kill all Konoha ninjas stationed in the Country of Grass for free, how can we do business in the future?”
Kakuzu continued, “If we kill all the Konoha ninja who is entrenched in the Country of Grass, we must let Onoki add money!”
The word add money was used very well.
It could be seen that Kakuzu was indeed a businessman.
“I also agree with Kakuzu-senpai’s opinion.”
After Uehara nodded slowly, he said, “I thought Konoha Fifth Hokage only sent a bunch of Anbu squad, but I didn’t expect that she had sent so many ninja troops…”
Sasori knocked on his ring and said, “Would you like me to ask Konan and see if Onoki is willing to add money, just find some Konoha’s Anbu are boring.!”
“Yes!”
Deidara raised his head and glanced at the corpse on the ground, “This task is really not worthy of all our member’s action. Sasori-senpai and I can solve it easily!”
He thought it was an epic-level of difficulty, but he didn’t expect it to be a normal-level task. If you act carefully, it will probably not take long to complete it.
“It may not be that easy.”
After Nagato covered his lips and coughed a few times, he added, “According to the information I got, the person in charge of the operation in Kusagakure is Konoha’s Copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi, and there is a big man who is ready to support at any time.”
Sasuke frowned subconsciously when he heard the name of his sensei, “Hatake Kakashi?”
“Big guy?”
Uehara shook his head and said, “I guess it’s Jiraiya, one of Konoha Sannin! I will first ask Konan-sensei to see if Iwagakure is willing to add money.”
Soon, news came from Konan.
Onoki was willing to add a sum of money to expel or kill all Konoha ninjas in the Country of Grass.
If Iwa and Konoha had a head-on conflict, Iwa’s loss would definitely not be low, and it might even trigger a war in the Ninja world. So it would be cheaper to use the Akatsuki.
“Pity…”
Kakuzu frowned and sighed, “If we have Kumo’s channel, we can still get another some of money for cleaning up these Konoha Ninjas.”
Uehara, “…”
Every Akatsuki members, “…”
This guy Kakuzu really loves money!
“Let’s go! Let’s meet Konoha Copy Ninja!”
Uehara turned his head to look at Sasuke and Itachi. He chuckled and said, “After all, Kakashi-san is one of our old friends!”
