Chapter 95

Rookie Ninja Uehara Naraku

Chapter 95 Rookie Ninja Uehara Naraku (Seeking Recommendation Votes!)

Luo Sha's choice was not wrong.

If Gaara were to fall into the hands of this Amegakure boy, Uehara would have plenty of ways to subdue the One-Tailed Beast, and the situation for Sunagakure would be dire.

On his deathbed, Rasa seemed to finally see his fate clearly and unleashed an unprecedented power.

Everyone present knew that Luo Sha was unlikely to survive; his chest was caved in, and blood had soaked through his clothes.

"Magnetic Release: Gold Sand Realm Technique! Let's go!"

Sharp strands of gold dust emerged from the ground, meandering upwards.

Under Rasa's manipulation, these gold dust particles continued to extend, one by one, attempting to restrict Uehara Naraku's movements.

The Fourth Kazekage was too naive!

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but chuckle softly, dodging the sharp gold dust spikes as he slowly descended: "Lord Kazekage, how long can you hold out?"

A glint flashed in Rasa's eyes, and clumps of gold dust shimmered into tiny, sharp points, hurtling towards Uehara Naraku: "Kid, don't underestimate me! I am the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure!"

The purple broadsword floating beside Uehara easily repelled the gold dust!

Uehara Naraku blinked and said softly, "Don't you know that the easiest person to kill in the ninja world is the Kazekage?"

After saying that, Uehara Naraku did not hesitate.

The purple broadsword fell into his hand, and he charged towards Luo Sha!

Rasa did not respond to Uehara's sarcasm, but focused on manipulating the gold dust defense.

In order to endure for even longer, Luo Sha even covered his body with a layer of sand gold armor.

Even so, Rasa still found himself at a disadvantage in his battle against Uehara.

In just a few seconds, Uehara Naraku had already cut several sharp gold-flecked spears in succession and continued to charge towards Rasa.

One of the Sand Ninja finally couldn't hold back any longer and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll go support the Kazekage! Lord Maki, the Kazekage's orders can only be entrusted to you!"

"I'm going too!"

"Let's go together!"

A group of Sand Ninjas charged frantically toward Uehara Naraku, perhaps trying to buy time or perhaps hoping to find a way to survive.

"Aren't we going?"

Gaara ran alongside Maki, his body trembling slightly. He couldn't help but glance back at Rasa, who was still locked in a fierce battle with Uehara Naraku.

"Going back is the best option for us!"

Maki shook his head. His most important task now was to safely send Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, back to Sunagakure.

With the loss of the One-Tailed Beast, Sunagakure may very well fall into complete decline among the Five Great Nations.

Ninjas always have to make sacrifices.

Even a Kage is no different from an ordinary ninja.

If the Fourth Kazekage hadn't been so severely injured, Maki would definitely have chosen to take his place and buy time. Unfortunately, given the Fourth Kazekage's injuries, he was certain to die.

After Maki and Gaara escaped, the battle was drawing to a close.

The few Sand Ninjas had no impact on the battle, but Rasa's counterattack before his death was quite fierce, even taking away several hundred points of Uehara's life energy.

This level of skill is truly worthy of the Kazekage!

Uehara Naraku had already cut down several Sand Ninja before he walked step by step toward the Fourth Kazekage, who was finally unable to hold on any longer.

Uehara planted his purple broadsword into the ground, looked at Rasa lying on the ground, and said softly, "Do you think they can escape?"

"Wh...what?"

Luo Sha struggled to lift himself up, his mouth full of blood.

"They can only escape if I want them to!"

Uehara Naraku smiled somewhat tactfully, and suddenly the purple chakra broadsword sprang up from the ground, piercing through Rasa's body from behind!

Side Quest: Defeat the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: Golden Body Freeze.

Golden Body Freeze: Condenses the body into a golden body using chakra, ignoring all attacks and defenses, and also unable to perform any actions. Duration: 2.5 seconds. Minimum chakra cost: 100 points. Cooldown: 60 seconds.

This skill has both advantages and disadvantages.

If used correctly, it's invincible; if used incorrectly, it's a death sentence.

Uehara Naraku glanced at the skill rewarded by the system and frowned: "Oh well, at least I saved some money on buying equipment..."

Uehara collected the Fourth Kazekage's body.

The corpses of ninjas must never be disposed of carelessly; at best, they might be used to steal information, and at worst, they might be stolen by Kabuto Yakushi or Orochimaru.

As for the scattered gold dust, Uehara did not waste it.

He used the command shockwave to gather a large amount of gold dust, but since it was mixed with some soil and yellow sand, he wasn't particularly interested in dealing with it.

Gold panning is a delicate and troublesome job.

Why not wait until an opportunity arises to hand it over to Kakuzu and let him strike it rich?

Will this job be too difficult for the elderly?

If you do the math, Kakuzu is over eighty years old.

Now that we've dealt with Rasa's problem, it's time to deal with Gaara's troubles. After capturing them, we'll ask Nagato and Konan if they need to be taken back.

Uehara also planned to make a trip to the oasis near Sunagakure to try and obtain the Reanimation Jutsu from Chiyo.

According to Uehara's guess, Nagato and Konan do not want to alarm the five great ninja villages for the time being, so as to avoid arousing their vigilance. That would be a good opportunity for Uehara to try and exchange Gaara's life for the Reanimation Jutsu.

This is something that is not easy to manipulate.

If only I could fight when I was born with a phantom charm.

Uehara can transform into a Root ninja at any time, and can directly dump any trouble he encounters on Shimura Danzo.

"Let me see if fate has smiled upon you..."

Uehara Naraku quietly activated his Fate skill, glanced at Maki and Gaara's escape route, and a look of regret appeared on his face: "Is your luck really that bad? Lady Luck really wants you dead!"

Although Uehara wasted some time due to Rasa's desperate resistance, allowing them to cross the border again and return to the Land of Wind.

However, according to Maki and Gaara's escape route, as shown in the Fate Skill display panel, they are very likely to run into some troublesome people.

Sasori of the Red Sand, Deidara.

Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi.

It is likely that Orochimaru and Kabuto appeared in the desert of the Land of Wind, and Sasori of the Red Sand found their trail, so Sasori and Deidara chased after them.

The artistic duo's mission is to eliminate Orochimaru.

This is truly a case of perfect coincidence.

Uehara Naraku opened the teleportation panel of fate, and his figure quietly disappeared from the spot.

In the desert.

The two people are facing off.

Sasori of the Red Sand took out his treasured Third Kazekage puppet, while Orochimaru also brought out his own experimental subject, the Third Kazekage resurrected through Edo Tensei.

Just as they were about to start a big battle, Deidara, who was patrolling the air on a giant bird, spotted Gaara and Maki, as well as Uehara Naraku who was chasing them.

Deidara immediately informed Sasori of the Red Sand: "Sasori, someone is coming!"

"Who is it?"

Sasori of the Red Sand was immediately displeased.

On the contrary, Orochimaru on the other side had a faint smile on his face. According to his guess, the person active in this generation should be a Sand Village ninja, most likely the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

If Rasa had encountered Sasori of the Red Sand, he might have had a chance to take advantage of the chaos, or even witnessed Sasori being surrounded and attacked by the Sand Ninja.

"A Sand Ninja and a red-haired child..."

Deidara, rubbing his forehead, stared at the figures flying behind Gaara and Maki in the distance, and shouted, "Wait...it looks like that brat intern from our organization is chasing them!"

After saying that, Deidara even leisurely commented, "Tsk, what a rookie ninja! It took him so long to chase a kid!"

"..."

Orochimaru's smile faded; he had seen that little brat Uehara Naraku summon Pain without warning.

What's that brat doing here?

It's going to be available next Friday...
