I want to be the man behind the scenes (Being the man behind the scenes since Hokage)

In the Kingdom of Fire, undercurrents are surging.

After the high-level officials of Konoha temporarily solved all foreign enemies by peaceful means, they immediately freed up their hands to clean up the internal strife, apparently to track down Orochimaru's spies.

Secretly, Jiraiya personally took action and began to supervise and investigate the confidants of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, looking for the ANBU who claimed to have been monitoring Uzumaki Naruto to prevent the third Hokage's dark privacy from being used by others.

This information must not be leaked out

It doesn't matter if they are thick-skinned guys like the Kazekage, Tsuchikage and Raikage. They don't care whether they can see people or not, as long as they are beneficial to the village, they will do it.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen's character is different.

It's just that no matter how Jiraiya traces the ANBU who were once responsible for protecting Uzumaki Naruto, he has never found this person, and Jiraiya can only temporarily define him as missing.

Unfortunately, Jiraiya discovered many dark secrets of Hiruzen Sarutobi, such as secretly supporting Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo in Konoha's human experiment research, etc.

These dark secrets directly caused the good-guy image of Sarutobi Hiruzen to completely collapse. At the same time, there was also an ANBU information specifically responsible for Sarutobi Hiruzen's dark things.

These materials are written in great detail.

The strange thing is that this ANBU's codename is Orphan.

Jiraiya and the higher-ups in Konoha believe that this ANBU, codenamed Orphan, may be directly affiliated with Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, and has been acting alone without any companions.

After all, the code name is Orphan.

Wild riverside.

Kabuto Yakushi handed the grilled fish in his hand to Uehara Naraku: "Naraku-sama, during this period Konoha is tracking down the Anbu who reported outside Naruto Uzumaki's window that night. It seems that the small gift I left for them when I left should be there soon. It will be discovered.”

"what gift"

"Some dark history of the Third Hokage-sama."

Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses meaningfully and said softly: "I have always believed that as a qualified spy, we must not allow people to notice that there are two extra people in a thing that should not be there.

Otherwise, it will be easy for us to be suspicious. Even a trace of suspicion will bring hatred in front of ANBU who do not need to provide evidence.

Both Orochimaru-sama and Naraku-sama have attracted too much hatred in the Konoha collapse plan, and I can just use this to plunge Konoha into greater chaos. "

Kabuto Yakushi wanted to use a series of factual evidence to prove that the person who blew himself up by Naruto Uzumaki's window that night must be Sarutobi Hiruzen and an ANBU ninja.

Kabuto Yakushi didn't hide his plans.

Now that Konoha has begun to investigate this matter, he will soon arrange for a Konoha Anbu codenamed Orphan to defect, and kill Sarutobi Hiruzen, who single-handedly directed the Nine-Tails Rebellion and assassinated the Fourth Hokage. The couple's news was told to more people.

After Yakushi Kabuto finished talking about his plan, he added a very philosophical saying: "Since you are going to perform a show, you must do it to the fullest."

"You are such a talent"

Naraku Uehara sighed. Kabuto Yakushi was worthy of being the true mastermind behind the ninja world in history. He would arrange everything carefully.

Naraku Uehara suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Does the Third Hokage really have such a dark history?"

"It's more compiled than Lord Naraku's."

After Yakushi Kabuto nodded, he whispered: "How can a Hokage who has been in charge of Konoha for nearly 40 years be a kind old man? Some people will whitewash peace with a compassionate face when they get older."

As a spy, Kabuto Yakushi knew a lot.

It's just that such a highly intelligent subordinate makes Uehara, the mastermind behind the scenes, unqualified. Uehara has so much information and is not as careful as Kabuto Yakushi.

Uehara Naraku thought for a while, and the grilled fish in his hand became a little boring. He couldn't help but frowned and said: "I don't want to eat it. In the village, Teacher Xiaonan cooks grilled fish every day. Here you also cook grilled fish for me."

"Uh"

Yakushi Kabuto's face suddenly became a little embarrassed: "It's too late at this time. I'll go to a nearby town to buy some meatballs tomorrow."

"No, I know a place that sells it."

Naraku Uehara shook his head and said softly: "I'll go directly to the guy Kisame Inakisaki. Do your own thing well and don't let me down."

"Yes."

Kabuto Yakushi lowered his head respectfully and watched as a stack of cards slowly appeared at Naraku Uehara's feet, and then disappeared in front of him in an instant.

After a long time, Yakushi Kabuto slowly raised his head, holding the grilled fish in his hand, and said with some regret: "Naraku-sama seems a little ignorant of the world. Those street children in the Fire Country can only live in the garbage dump because they can't fish. Picking up something to eat.”

However, Kabuto Yakushi touched the scroll in his ninja tool bag and saw that Naraku Uehara had not taken away the funds used to build the orphanage.

Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's just that compared to Orochimaru-sama, Naraku-sama seems to be more pure."

In the silent jungle.

Kisame Inikaki and Itachi Uchiha were heading towards Konoha.

They heard the news of the Chunin Examination Rebellion in the Land of Fire, and also learned of the death of Hiruzen Sarutobi, but Itachi Uchiha did not know the death of Danzo.

Therefore, Itachi Uchiha planned to return to Konoha to warn Danzo, and also wanted to see if his brother Uchiha Sasuke was okay.

When passing by a roadside shop, Kisame Kisaki saw a young man sitting on the steps of the shop, eating ravenously, with a meatball in his mouth.

"Mr. Itachi."

Kisame Mikigaki grinned, looked at the young man with a chuckle and said, "Do you think that down-and-out guy looks like an intern from our organization?"

"Really similar."

Uchiha Itachi raised his head and looked carefully for a while, his face suddenly looked a little unpleasant: "Well, that's Uehara Naraku, why is he here?"

This doesn't seem right.

It is said that this guy just assassinated the Third Hokage of Konoha in Konoha, and even used the reputation of the ninja demigod Sansho Hanzo to force Konoha to sign an alliance agreement recognizing Hanzo as the Rain Shadow.

Konoha is indeed not a good thing.

The real agreement is known only to the Amegakure and Konoha Villages.

After the news came out, if Sansho Hanzo was really still alive, he would probably rip off the head of Naraku Uehara, the person who signed the agreement.

嗖

A bamboo stick was pierced into Kisame's foot.

Naraku Uehara looked at Kisame Kisaki with a dark face, and stretched out his palm: "Kissame-senpai, Mr. Itachi, my money is a little tight recently, please borrow some money."

"To be honest, I don't dare to borrow it."

Inikisaki Kisame shook his head quickly, regardless of his identity as Naraku Uehara's spy, and explained in a low voice: "What if something goes wrong with you and Konan-senpai asks, I can't bear this responsibility."

Kisame Mikigaki grinned and continued: "I heard that Tsunade, one of the Sannin of Konoha, is very active in the Land of Fire recently. I don't dare to let my money go down the drain."

""

Naraku Uehara muttered "cowardly" and turned to look at Uchiha Itachi. If Uchiha Itachi hadn't been here, he would have cooked a grilled shark's fin meal for Kisame.

However, once in private, Kisame Inegaki will be extremely respectful to Naraku Uehara, perfectly interpreting the life of a spy.

But when they meet on the surface, Kisame, that bastard, always likes to mess with his mentality and pretend that they are not familiar with each other.

Uchiha Itachi directly avoided such a trivial matter as borrowing money, and instead asked: "Uehara, why are you still here and haven't returned to Amegakure Village yet?"

"I don't have travel expenses."

Naraku Uehara chuckled.

What the hell is your excuse for not having travel expenses?

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Itachi unbuttoned his collar, took out his wallet, and abruptly changed the subject: "You just said you wanted to borrow money, how much do you need to borrow?"

"One million taels, maybe"

After Naraku Uehara opened his mouth and mentioned a big number, he continued: "Next time, I can give you an additional 150 million taels of activity funds."

"not that much."

Uchiha Itachi took out a stack of money and handed it to Naraku Uehara: "I only have 10 taels here. Don't tell Konan-senpai that I lent it to you."

"I understand."

Naraku Uehara put away the money obediently: "What about you, did Mr. Payne give you any tasks? Is there anything I can do to help you two?"

"As expected of the financial officer of the organization, it's really easy to talk after you get money."

Kisame Kisaki glanced at Uchiha Itachi pointedly, and laughed in a low voice: "Ho ho ho ho, we want to take advantage of the chaos in Konoha to investigate Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki to see if we can Capture him."

"This task is quite simple"

Naraku Uehara glanced at the two people, lowered his voice and said: "The whole of Konoha is in a mess now. If you expose Akatsuki's existence and can't bring back the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki for Akatsuki, does that mean there is no more? Is there any value in existence?”

""

Uchiha Itachi's eyes moved slightly, and he sighed: "This is the leader's order. We can only risk our lives to fulfill it."

"Akatsuki will not tolerate incompetent people."

Naraku Uehara blinked his eyes and said softly: "If you fail, the organization should submit a new candidate intern to compete, but don't worry, this person is much weaker than you."

Naraku Uehara chuckled and continued: "If Mr. Itachi is willing, you can kill the new member at any time. I believe no one in the organization will blame you."

"Thank you."

Uchiha Itachi nodded.
