Chapter 95: Uehara Naraku, A Rookie Ninja
Chapter 95: Uehara Naraku, A Rookie Ninja
Rasa’s choice was not wrong.
If Gaara fell into the hands of this Ame boy and he found a way to subdue him, the situation in the Sunagakure would take a turn for the worse.
Before he died, Rasa seemed to finally see his destiny and burst out with an unprecedented power.
Everyone present knew that Rasa couldn’t survive. Part of his chest was sunken in and blood-drenched his clothes.
“Jiton, Sakin Taisō! (Magnet Release: Gold Dust Imperial Funeral) Hurry up!”
A large amount of gold dust came out from the ground.
Under Rasa’s manipulation, the gold dust extended, forming strands that tried to restrict Uehara’s movements.
Fourth Kazekage, you’re too naive!
Uehara couldn’t help but chuckle and avoided the gold dust before slowly falling to the ground, “Oi Kazekage, how long can you support this?”
A gleam of light flashed in Rasa’s eyes. The strands of gold dust became extremely small and sharp as they quickly shot towards Uehara, “Boy, don’t look down on people too much. I am the Sunagakure’s Fourth Kazekage!”
The purple broadsword floating beside Uehara easily repelled the gold dust!
Uehara blinked and whispered, “Don’t you know that the Kazekage was the easiest person to kill in the Ninja World?”
After he finished speaking, Uehara did not hesitate anymore.
The purple broadsword fell into his hand as he rushed towards Rasa!
To save his strength, Rasa chose not to respond to Uehara’s sarcasm but focused on manipulating the gold dust defensively.
To persist even longer, Rasa attached a layer of gold dust to his body as armor.
Even so, Rasa was at a disadvantage in his battle with Uehara.
In just a few seconds, Uehara had destroyed the gold dust spears and continued to rush toward Rasa.
A ninja finally couldn’t help it, gritted his teeth, and said, “I’ll support Kazekage-sama! Baki-sama, Kazekage-sama’s orders only mention on you!”
“I’ll go as well!”
“Let’s go together!”
A group of Suna ninja frantically rushed towards Uehara. Perhaps they wanted to delay him, or maybe they just wanted a chance to kill him.
“Aren’t we going?”
Gaara ran with Baki, his body trembled a little, and he couldn’t help but look back at Rasa, who was still fighting Uehara.
“We won’t go back. This is the best choice!”
Baki shook his head. His most important task now was to send Gaara, the Jinchuriki, back to the Sunagakure safely.
If they lost the Ichibi, the Sunagakure was likely to lose its position as one of the five great ninja villages.
Ninjas always had to make sacrifices.
Even if it was a Kage, they were no different from regular ninja.
If the Fourth Kazekage were not seriously injured, Baki would have replaced him and delayed Uehara. Unfortunately, the Fourth Kazekage’s injuries were too severe, and he would undoubtedly die.
By the time Baki and Gaara had escaped, the battlefield had come to an end.
A handful of Suna ninjas couldn’t affect the situation in the slightest. Still, Rasa counterattacked fiercely before he died and even shaved off hundreds of points of Uehara’s life energy.
He was indeed a Kazekage!
Uehara had already knocked all the Suna ninjas to the ground, and he walked step by step towards the Fourth Kazekage, who finally couldn’t continue.
Uehara thrust the purple broadsword in his hand into the ground, looked at Rasa, who was lying on the ground, and whispered, “Do you really think they can escape?”
“What… what?”
Rasa struggled to lift himself, the corners of his mouth dripping blood.
“They can only escape if I want them to escape!”
Uehara smiled slightly. The purple Chakra Broadsword suddenly flew out of the ground and penetrated through Rasa’s body!
[Side Mission: Defeat the Fourth Kazekage Rasa (1/1)]
[Reward: skill Golden Body Stagnation]
[Golden Body Stagnation: By channeling Chakra through your body, turn into gold. For 2.5 seconds, you are immune to all damage but cannot move. Consumes 100 Chakra. Cooldown, 60 seconds.]
This skill had pros and cons.
If used well, he would become invincible. If not, he would become a sitting duck.
Uehara glanced at the skill rewarded by the system and frowned, “Forget it, at least I got some money to buy more equipment…”
Uehara put away the Fourth Kazekage’s body.
The corpse of a ninja was quite useful, ranging from being used to get intel to being stolen by Kabuto and Orochimaru.
As for the scattered gold dust all over the floor, Uehara did not waste it either.
He used the Command Shockwave to gather a large amount of gold dust, but there was mud and yellow sand mixed in it, and he was not interested in handling it.
Smelting gold was a delicate and troublesome job.
Couldn’t he just wait until he found a chance to give it to Kakuzu and get him to smelt it into gold?
This job was not too difficult for the elderly man, right?
After careful calculations, he realized that Kakuza was over eighty years old.
Now that I have dealt with Rasa’s problem, I can deal with Gaara’s issues. After catching them, I’ll ask Nagato and Konan if they need to take him back.
Along the way, Uehara could also go to the oasis near the Sunagakure to find a way to obtain Chiyo’s One’s Own Life Reincarnation jutsu.
According to Uehara’s understanding, Nagato and Konan currently didn’t want to alarm the Five Great Ninja Villages to avoid raising the Five Great Ninja Village’s vigilance. So Uehara could try using Gaara’s life to exchange for One’s Own Life Reincarnation jutsu.
It was not an easy skill to get.
But thankfully, he had Charming Transformation.
Uehara could transform into a Root ninja at any point and pass the blame to Shimura Danzo whenever he encountered any trouble.
“Let me see if Destiny can find you…”
Uehara quietly activated his Destiny skill and found Baki and Gaara, a touch of regret appeared on his face, “Why is your luck so bad? Goddess of luck really wants you to die!”
Due to Rasa’s desperate resistance, Uehara wasted a little more time and let them cross the border to the Land of Wind.
However, the Destiny skill revealed that, according to Baki and Gaara’s escape route, they were likely to run into a few people who were not easy to provoke.
Sasori and Deidara.
Orochimaru and Kabuto.
Orochimaru and Kabuto appeared in the desert of the Land of Wind and were found by Sasori, so Sasori and Deidara chased after them.
The art duo’s mission was to eliminate Orochimaru after.
This was really a coincidence.
Uehara activated Destiny’s teleportation ability, quietly disappeared.
In the desert.
The two groups were facing each other.
Sasori pulled out the Third Kazekage puppets, and Orochimaru pulled out his experimental products. The Third Kazekage reincarnated using Impure World Reincarnation.
Just as they were about to start a big battle, Deidara, who was patrolling with a giant bird in the air, found Gaara, Baki, and Uehara, who was chasing them.
Deidara immediately informed Sasori, “Sasori-san, someone’s coming!”
“Who?”
Sasori suddenly became a little unhappy.
On the contrary, Orochimaru, on the opposite side, smiled slightly. According to his intel, the ones active in this area should be the Suna Ninjas, and it was likely to be the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
If Rasa met Sasori, he might have an opportunity to fish in troubled waters and even see Sasori being besieged by Suna Ninja.
“A Suna Ninja and a red-haired child…”
Deidara put on his telescope device, staring at the figure flying behind Gaara and Baki in the distance, and said loudly, “Wait… it seems like that intern kid in our organization is chasing them!”
After finishing talking, Deidara even commented leisurely. “Hey, a rookie, he’s taking so long to chase and kill a man with a child!”
“…”
Orochimaru’s smile narrowed. He had seen the little guy Uehara summoned Pain when he disagreed with him in the past.
Why did that kid come here?
