Chapter 86

Do you know Dai?

Chapter 86 Do you know Chiyo? (Please vote!)

Uehara Naraku was unaware of Obito's plans.

Uehara only used some simple, manipulative words, and Obito Uchiha actually believed him and didn't hold it against him. This level of emotional intelligence must mean he's never been in a relationship before.

Uehara Naraku now stands before a group of ordinary Sunagakure ninjas, loudly proclaiming the Amegakure's order: "By order of Lord Hanzo, all ninjas from neighboring countries must immediately leave the country. We are to begin annihilating the wandering ninjas within the Land of Rain."

"But our mission..."

The Sand Village ninjas were somewhat reluctant to part ways.

Because the number of commissioned missions in their village is decreasing, and the village's finances are now entirely maintained by the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, on his own, the Sand Village and its ninja cherish any commissioned missions they receive from outside.

After all, customer resources are becoming increasingly scarce.

Uehara Naraku shook his head, behaving very politely: "I'm sorry, but compared to your mission, I'm worried that if you were caught in the crossfire and it triggered a war between Amegakure and Sunagakure, there might be even greater losses."

"..."

The Sand Ninja exchanged glances.

If it weren't for the fact that Uehara Naraku was stepping on one of their companions, they might have actually intended to bully others and refuse to back down.

Unfortunately, we couldn't win!

The most important thing now is to send news of the civil war in the Land of Rain back home.

This was exactly what Uehara wanted: to expel ordinary ninjas on missions and let them spread news about the Land of Rain.

If you're dealing with spies like those in the Dark Guard...

Then we have to find another way to deal with them. These spies are here to investigate the most secret information, and you have to kill any spy you encounter.

Once the situation in the Land of Rain stabilizes and all of Hanzo's confidants are eliminated, the entire Amegakure will be sealed off by Pain's Rain Tiger Free Technique.

Uehara Naraku looked at the Sand Ninja and continued, "By the way, do you have any Jonin among you?"

"..."

Several Sand Ninja's gazes shifted and settled on the one Uehara Naraku was standing on.

The guy on the ground who couldn't last more than a few moves against Uehara Naraku was the Jonin captain of their squad.

"Are you sure this is a Jonin?"

Uehara Naraku looked curiously at the ninja he was standing on, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Are the standards for Jonin in Sunagakure really this low?"

The Sand Village Jonin stubbornly raised his head, looking at Uehara Naraku: "Kid, are you trying to humiliate me? I am the Wind Blade of Sand Village!"

"That's it? That's it?"

"You little brat, I'll fight you to the death!"

Enraged by Uehara Naraku's words, the Sand Village Jonin gritted his teeth and tugged at his fingers, causing one of his subordinates to lunge at Uehara Naraku!

No, those weren't his subordinates.

Instead, this Jonin's puppet was disguised as an ordinary Sand Village ninja.

This Jonin captain from Sunagakure is a rare puppeteer!

No wonder he became the captain of the Jonin in Sunagakure. A puppeteer who can wield excellent puppets is indeed much stronger than an ordinary ninja in Sunagakure.

Once a puppeteer is caught in close combat, they basically have no choice but to wait to die...

Just now, after the Sand Village Jonin and Uehara Naraku engaged in battle, before he could even use his puppet to fight, he was knocked to the ground by Uehara Naraku with three punches and two kicks at close range.

Now, he is going to fight back for the honor of Sunagakure!

Click!

Uehara Naraku casually summoned a purple chakra broadsword and cleaved the attacking puppet into a pile of parts!

Uehara kicked at the scattered parts: "Is that all?"

"You little rascal..."

The Sand Village Jonin on the ground, witnessing this scene, was utterly devastated, glaring at Uehara with a face full of resentment: "This is the puppet that Ebizo-sensei gave me!"

Ebizo was an advisor to Sunagakure and was highly respected.

It wasn't because of his strength, but because of his intellect, which is why Ebizo was also known as the Old Man of the Sand by the people of the Land of Wind and Sunagakure.

In fact, he is a character similar to Danzo Shimura.

Ebizo once possessed all the intelligence on Sunagakure, and even now in retirement, he still has many undercover agents willing to obey his orders.

However, at this time, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, Rasa, is at the height of his power thanks to his gold-mining technique, and few people in the ninja world have heard of Ebizo.

This is also the fault of someone in the Akatsuki organization.

Sasori of the Red Sand.

Sasori's departure from Sunagakure caused his grandmother, Chiyo, to become disheartened and choose to retire on her own.

Ebizo has also retired to be with his sister.

Uehara Naraku blinked. He had heard of Ebizo's name, but he didn't really have much of an impression of the old man who didn't appear much in the original work.

Uehara Naraku gripped his purple chakra broadsword and pointed it at the Sand Village puppeteer on the ground, saying, "Then do you know where Ebizo and Chiyo are?"

Uehara was only slightly intrigued by the news about Granny Chiyo.

Because he has several side quests related to Granny Chiyo, and based on Uehara Naraku's guess, the rewards for these quests won't be too bad.

Most importantly, there's also a task to collect the reincarnations of those who have already been reborn!

This involves a technique that can resurrect the dead; the mission reward might just be an extra chance for Uehara Naraku to be resurrected and start over.

Ideally, it would be an ancient skill called Rebirth.

Of course, if the system were to reward Uehara Naraku with a resurrection armor that wasn't even available in the shop, Uehara would certainly be happy to accept it.

As for how to collect information about the reincarnation of the original, the answer is to betray Sasori of the Red Sand, or simply impersonate Sasori of the Red Sand.

Isn't this a bit inappropriate...?

Pooh!

He, Uehara Naraku, is a man destined to become the mastermind behind the ninja world. How could he possibly become someone else's grandson?

"How do you know about Lady Chiyo?"

A look of surprise crossed the Sand Village puppeteer's face, but then he imagined something and burst into laughter, "That's right, Lady Chiyo once repelled Hanzo of the Salamander. Your Amegakure is afraid of Lady Chiyo coming here, isn't she!"

Why do you talk so much nonsense?

Uehara Naraku glared at the foul-mouthed Sand Ninja captain, a flash of rage crossing his face: "No, how dare you insult Lord Hanzo!"

After saying that, Uehara Naraku knocked off his ninja headband with a single sword stroke: "While I'm asking you questions, you'd better focus on answering them!"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

The Sand Village captain burst into wild laughter, looking at Uehara Naraku with utter disdain: "Lady Chiyo is right behind our squad. She'll be here soon, take Hanzo of the Salamander's head, and kill everyone in Amegakure!"

"Eh, has Grandma Chiyo not retired yet?"

Uehara Naraku was surprised and quietly opened the panel of destiny.

Uehara Naraku suddenly swung his purple chakra broadsword, plunging it into the chest of the Sand Ninja captain, and shouted, "You dare to lie to me? Do you know who I am?"

In the entire ninja world, he's the only one capable of deceiving others!

These words caused the remaining Sand Ninja to turn their heads in surprise. Such a young ninja had such great strength; he seemed to be an extraordinary person!

One of the bolder ninjas stared at the drops of blood sliding down Uehara's chakra broadsword and whispered, "Who exactly are you, sir?"

"I am just an insignificant little person."

"..."

How could the Sand Ninja believe him!

Uehara Naraku didn't care whether they believed him or not; a fierce look, typical of a young man, appeared on his face: "Do any of you know anything about Chiyo?"

"We don't..."

The Sand Ninja immediately shook their heads.

Uehara Naraku interrupted them, raising his chakra broadsword: "Liars will have to swallow a thousand needles!"

What kind of punishment is this?!

The Sand Ninjas, hearing Uehara Naraku's threat, dared not even swallow.

One of the Sand Ninja raised his hand and replied in a hoarse voice, "Lord Chiyo and Lord Ebizo live in seclusion in the oasis outside the village."
