Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 279 The Other Side! The Uchiha's Revenge!

It’s over.

A big problem has arisen.

This was Orochimaru's first thought.

Akihara Kagura wasn't 100% certain about Nagato's Rinnegan. Before taking it, he considered the possibility that the Rinnegan might be destroyed!

This guy even has a backup Rinnegan.

When Orochimaru heard Akihara Kagura mention the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Rinnegan, and the new term "Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan," he understood what Akihara Kagura was saying.

"Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan..."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, recalling the bloodline limit he had once longed for: "The ultimate goal of the Uchiha clan's bloodline evolution is actually to evolve into the Rinnegan?"

The duel between the genius brothers Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha not only attracted attention, but also involved Akihara Kagura's plan to cultivate the Rinnegan?

No wonder…

No wonder Akihara Kagura trained Uchiha Sasuke…

Because Sasuke Uchiha wasn't good at independent thinking and mostly obeyed orders, he was the vessel for Akihara Kagura to cultivate the Rinnegan...

Akihara Kagura seems to always like to accomplish two or three things at once, making it impossible to understand what he's doing until he achieves his goals...

but…

It's already very troublesome right now!

Just as Orochimaru was still pondering, a voice appeared on the shore, shouting loudly towards Akihara Kagura: "Boy, Sasuke is about to meet Uchiha Itachi!"

It was White Zetsu Awei.

Bai Jue Awei delivered this important news.

The infighting among the Uchiha clan brothers was a deeply complex conspiracy.

Even Akihara Kagura made many arrangements around the duel between the two brothers. A group of Root ninjas who assisted Uchiha Sasuke in his revenge were not just there to watch the show!

"Looks like I don't have time to linger here either."

Kagura Akihara glanced at Orochimaru, then slowly maneuvered her wooden dragon into the air, saying, "If the Rinnegan is really hidden in the explosive tag trap, Lord Orochimaru, then just detonate this place for me, so that others won't compete with me for the weapon of war..."

"Um?"

Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura, who hadn't fallen for his trick, and gave an unnatural smile: "Kagura-kun, are you really not going to consider it..."

To put it bluntly...

This might be his last chance to take over Akihara Kagura's body. Only with the help of the hundreds of billions of explosive tags left by Konan could he have a chance to defeat Akihara Kagura...

If Akihara Kagura were to obtain the Rinnegan, the Sage's Eye, and the Sage's Body next time, would he become the Sage of Six Paths?

"I'm not considering it."

Akihara Kagura raised her hand, intending to leave.

"Kagura-kun..."

Orochimaru frowned and looked up at the flying wooden dragon.

"I almost forgot."

"This time you have betrayed our alliance once again."

Akihara Kagura suddenly stopped, his hands quickly forming a hand seal. A ball of black summoning spells flashed from his hands and landed directly on the lake surface.

"etc…"

Orochimaru could only watch helplessly as the summoning incantation landed; he had already recognized it as the summoning incantation required for the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags.

next moment!

The black psychic runes suddenly spread rapidly across the lake!

In an instant, black runes covered the entire lake surface, revealing the lake's true nature: stacks of thick explosive talismans piled up!

The strange thing is...

As the black summoning runes expanded, some smaller black summoning runes hidden here rapidly decayed and disappeared. Clearly, the previous person who wanted to set up a summoning array here did not have strong chakra and could only set it up little by little...

"There are also other summoning arrays here that multiply the detonating tags..."

Kagura Akihara glanced down at Orochimaru and continued slowly, "Lord Orochimaru, have you forgotten that I am the assistant to the Hokage of Konoha? I have long since mastered the forbidden technique of Mutual Explosion Tags, and I have even made some slight improvements to it..."

"improve?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, a sudden unease creeping into his heart.

"The multiplicative detonating tags themselves are an exponential psychic detonating tag bombardment."

A shuriken appeared in Akihara Kagura's hand. He raised his hand and threw the shuriken down. There was an explosive tag at the end of the shuriken: "But with a little modification, it can be made so that one explosive tag can be used as a trigger to instantly summon and detonate all the explosive tags..."

"What?"

Orochimaru was deeply shocked.

There were hundreds of billions of explosive tags in this area, which were instantly detonated by Akihara Kagura. This massive explosion was enough to shake the entire Land of Rain!

Without needing to think too much, Orochimaru's body instantly transformed into a snake's form. His mind was screaming a warning: a colossal creature had suddenly appeared!

This enormous creature had eight snake-like heads and eight tails, and it roared at the wooden dragon that was facing Akihara Kagura!

"Boom!"

Akihara Kagura snapped her fingers.

Boom!

The entire lake surface suddenly exploded!

All the explosive tags on the lake surface were detonated in an instant!

Akihara Kagura rode the wooden dragon away swiftly, and he could even feel the shockwaves from the detonation of hundreds of billions of explosive tags behind him!

A massive mushroom cloud rose behind him, radiating a heat as intense as the sun. The earth trembled violently, the entire Land of Rain felt the tremor, and the rising mushroom cloud could be seen in many places!

Beside a small river.

Konan and Nagato felt the tremors beneath their feet.

The two couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction of the Akatsuki base, where they saw a mushroom cloud rising up. Konan couldn't hide the horror in her eyes.

"Orochimaru...did he succeed?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Xiao Nan's cheek.

"perhaps…"

Nagato's expression was somewhat grim; they were still unaware of the situation there.

but…

The most important thing now is to find a safe place.

"Let's find the scorpion first..."

Nagato chose to search for Sasori of the Red Sand. He took Konan's ring and planned to use the Rinnegan to find Sasori and his companions.

Because Sasori was undoubtedly the most trustworthy person within the Akatsuki organization.

When Akihara Kagura first nearly brought annihilation to the Akatsuki organization, it was Sasori of the Red Sand who took the initiative to lead him and Konan away.

On a rock in the Land of Rain.

Sasori and Kakuzu were still watching Deidara and Hidan argue.

However, when the huge explosion and tremor came, the two guys finally stopped and looked in surprise at the rising mushroom cloud.

"This is art!"

Deidara stretched out his arms, his face filled with fanaticism as he watched the rising mushroom cloud: "This is the greatest art in the ninja world, and sooner or later I will be able to create art like it!"

"..."

Sasori of the Red Sand shook his head helplessly.

"Is that the direction of the base...?"

Hidan looked at the location of the explosion and turned around to ask a question out of curiosity.

These words startled everyone present, and each of them involuntarily began to wonder why such a massive explosion had occurred…

Besides the members of Akatsuki…

It seems like no one else in the Land of Rain could cause an explosion of this magnitude, right?

"Is Payne contacting us?"

Kakuzu glanced quickly at the ring in his hand.

"Take it."

Sasori of the Red Sand also looked at the ring in his hand.

This is Akatsuki's method of intelligence exchange. No matter how far apart they are, they can use the Illusionary Body Technique through their rings and then establish a group communication channel through the Rinnegan.

but…

The signal inside the ring stopped abruptly.

Nagato, who was originally looking for Sasori and the others, encountered a Rain Village ninja who was searching for them and informed Jiraiya and Hanzo of the Salamander that they were looking for them.

Nagato had no choice but to abandon contact with the Akatsuki members for the time being. He only notified Sasori, Kakuzu, and the others to go to Amegakure instead of returning to the base, where they would meet up.

Rain-Hidden Village.

This is a small village with an industrial feel.

Jiraiya stood atop the tower in Amegakure, looking with a worried expression at the mushroom cloud rising from the distant explosion, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"That Orochimaru guy..."

"An explosion of that magnitude would be enough to destroy Amegakure."

Hanzo of the Salamander stood beside Jiraiya, his gaze fixed on the mushroom cloud, and said in a deep voice, "The chances of that Sannin brat surviving are extremely slim... You might not even be able to find his body."

"..."

Jiraiya fell silent.

Akatsuki's base.

Or rather, this place should be called the former site of the Akatsuki organization's base.

The power of the explosion of hundreds of billions of explosive tags completely wiped out the entire Akatsuki base next to it, leaving only a crater the size of a city.

fortunately.

This was ultimately just a detonation tag.

The quantitative change ultimately failed to trigger a more terrifying qualitative change.

A massive Yamata no Orochi lay in the deep pit, its body still writhing, its entire body charred black and covered in broken pieces.

When it appeared, it had eight heads and a tail.

just now…

It only has half a tail and a head left.

This is why, at the moment of the explosion, its body instantly curled up to cover one of its heads, barely leaving only its head standing.

The head opened its mouth and bit into the charred part of the body. The intense pain made it growl loudly despite the pain, but it still stubbornly kept biting.

These traumas don't matter.

As long as it is alive, its body can recover completely.

Perhaps due to the severe depletion of its chakra, the Yamata no Orochi finally had no choice but to give up. It slowly opened its mouth, and a figure emerged from it, collapsing weakly to the ground.

It was Orochimaru.

This guy survived again.

Even in such a wretched state, he still survived.

"Akihara Kagura..."

Orochimaru's fingers were too weak to move.

If he hadn't used the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique just before the explosion, transforming into the body of the eight-headed serpent, he might already be dead and buried...

"That guy..."

Orochimaru tried to grit his teeth, but he didn't even have the strength to do so. He could only sit there and recover his strength: "I still need to get the message to that idiot Jiraiya first. His bastard disciple still has a spare Rinnegan..."

"Tell him to quickly send a message to Konoha..."

"Just send the people of Konoha to kill Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi..."

"No…"

"This is useless..."

Orochimaru, recalling Akihara Kagura's speed, realized he was being unrealistic: "There probably won't be enough time..."

Yes.

There probably isn't enough time.

During this period, it would be good enough if they could find Nagato first.

However, Akihara Kagura may have already taken away the victor between the brothers Itachi and Sasuke during the time they found Nagato.

The Land of Fire.

A former stronghold used by the Uchiha clan.

The outpost had long been abandoned, and the outside was desolate and dilapidated, but the inside was still relatively clean. Although it was also a ruin, it was still a place where one could rest for a while.

here…

This is the place of revenge that Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi promised to take.

Uchiha Sasuke sat on a stone chair inside the base, while the other Root ninjas stood haphazardly in various positions, some on the broken walls, others on the crossbeams behind the door.

Theoretically speaking...

This should be a duel between brothers.

However, everyone present was qualified to take revenge on Itachi Uchiha, because they all shared a common surname and the same bloodline limit.

"Karin has brought a message."

An Uchiha walked in from the front and said softly, "Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki have arrived and are outside the base..."

"Should we go out and kill him?"

"Go kill him!"

"Is it okay to wait for him to come?"

Everyone present became somewhat excited.

However, after the Uchiha group got excited, they started making a ruckus as if they were back in the past holding a clan meeting, which gave Uchiha Sasuke a headache.

"Stop!"

Uchiha Sasuke quickly stopped them. The somewhat immature young man, mimicking his father, began to reassure the clan members: "We agreed to fight on this old clan ground. Let's wait for him to come, kill him here, and complete the Uchiha's revenge..."

The outskirts of this stronghold.

Karin stood here with a group of people.

When Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki arrived, Karin stopped them and said softly, "Leave the shark-faced guy here. Only Itachi Uchiha can go in."

"Mr. Itachi."

Kisame Hoshigaki slung his Samehada sword over his shoulder and pointed it at Karin: "They don't seem very friendly!"

"I'll go in alone."

Itachi Uchiha shook his head, stopping Kisame Hoshigaki and Karin from a potential conflict, and walked past Karin on his own.

It wasn't until Itachi had passed Karin that he seemed to remember something and suddenly looked at Kisame Hoshigaki, saying, "Kisame, you should go back now!"

"Mr. Itachi?"

Kisame Hoshigaki frowned, then relaxed, and chuckled, "If Itachi-san dies here, at least someone should collect his body, right?"

"No need."

Itachi Uchiha shook his head and walked into the base on his own.

Adding yesterday's...
