After the meeting ended, everyone left the base.
Konan looked worriedly at Uehara Naraku and scolded him, "Naraku, I've told you, the matters of the Akatsuki are not something you should be involved in."
"Teacher Konan…"
Uehara Naraku looked a bit desolate, lowering his head.
Pain shook his head, gently advising, "Konan, we must be fair, Uehara is a member of the organization, and there can't be exceptions."
"But he's still a child…"
Konan looked down at Uehara Naraku, speaking softly, "When we were his age, we were just following by Jiraiya-sensei's side, without having learned any Ninjutsu. Even though Naraku's power isn't weak, he's going to the Land of Water, which is always closed off. Biwa Juzo died there, and if something happened to Naraku…"
"It won't happen, teacher."
Uehara Naraku spoke to comfort her emotions, preventing her from saying anything else ominous.
"Alright, there's no need to worry."
Pain produced a small black rod in his hand, gently breaking it, and walked over to Uehara Naraku, "Uehara, have you learned the Summoning Jutsu?"
"Uh, not yet…"
The young man looked a bit embarrassed. He hadn't learned the authentic Summoning Jutsu of the Ninja World, though his own summoning skill could be completed with just a thought.
Currently, he only has one summoning contract: Justice Giant Gallio. However, summoning Gallio requires 3,000 Chakra, and his level is still far from sufficient.
"I'll teach you the Summoning Jutsu now."
After saying this, Pain began to demonstrate the hand seals for the Summoning Jutsu, explaining as he did so, "The Summoning Jutsu is the simplest Space-Time Ninjutsu. Before the hand seals, you need to use your own blood as a contract to summon the contracted item."
After demonstrating the hand seals for the Summoning Jutsu to Uehara Naraku, and seeing him nod to show he understood, Pain handed over the small black rod in his hand, "If you encounter danger in the Hidden Mist Village, insert the Chakra sensor into yourself and directly use the Summoning Jutsu, understand?"
"Got it."
Uehara Naraku nodded with an odd expression because a 'ding' sounded in his mind at that moment.
Side task completed: Learn the Summoning Jutsu (1/1), task complete, reward summoning contract: Deep Sea Titan Nautile.
Summoning Contract: Summon the Deep Sea Titan Nautile, consuming 2,000 Chakra points.
Uehara Naraku felt that the system's summoning contract was a huge pitfall. Whether it was Justice Giant or Deep Sea Titan, his Chakra wasn't enough to use them. He could only find a way to complete advanced tasks or gather money to buy Chakra-boosting equipment.
Fortunately, he's still able to summon other things.
Uehara Naraku took the Chakra sensor pain handed to him, which every member of the Six Paths Pain possessed, allowing Nagato to transmit Chakra to Pain and control their actions from behind.
Apart from these functions, there was another use, which was summoning.
And the example of Konan beside them, because the small lip piercing on Konan's mouth is also a Chakra sensor, allowing her to summon or be summoned by the Animal Path Pain among the Six Paths of Pain.
Due to the presence of the Chakra sensors, the Six Paths Pain is not only incredibly powerful but is also akin to a ninja beast as a summoning item.
Uehara Naraku always had this suspicion, and now seeing the black rod Pain handed him, he understood everything. This Chakra sensor could help him summon Pain, which could save his life regardless of which one it was.
Pain, unlike Konan's gentle nature, had never been too kind to him. Who would have thought this guy was actually a bit tsundere?
Uehara Naraku sighed quietly, looking at the two present, and asked in an enticing manner, "Teacher Konan, Lord Yahiko, didn't you find anything strange about that masked intern senpai just now…"
To maintain the persona of a legacy of the Akatsuki, Uehara Naraku could only continue to address Pain as Yahiko; conversely, Konan usually addressed him as Nagato.
Pain nodded, glanced at Konan, and said, "His identity is a bit different from the others. I had the same suspicions as Konan that he might be up to no good for you… So when you head to the Land of Water, I will warn him not to do anything unnecessary."
"..."
Uehara Naraku's expression turned subtle.
Even though twelve years have passed since Yahiko's death, are you still so naive? You're already twenty-seven this year!
If the mysterious masked man wanted to harm him, he wouldn't even need to act personally. By manipulating the Fourth Mizukage and Hoshigaki Kisame from the Hidden Mist Village, he could achieve his purpose.
This was something Konan and Pain had never considered.
This was due to a lack of intelligence.
Uehara Naraku wasn't exactly afraid of the masked man's tricks. He had the Moment of Holy Judgment, a short-term invincible skill, and a flying skill like Aerial Dance, allowing him to escape whenever he wanted.
If the mysterious masked man still wanted to make a move from behind, Uehara Naraku wouldn't mind teaching him the meaning of surprise!
However, Konan immediately surprised Uehara Naraku by taking out several summoning scrolls and handing them to him.
Just as the young man was looking at the scrolls with a bewildered expression, Konan tousled his hair gently and explained, "There are a hundred million paper bombs inside…"
Uehara Naraku: "..."
Even though he understood Konan's Jutsu, the concept of a hundred million paper bombs was terrifying. How long would it take him to use this many paper bombs?
Moreover, the system in his mind was beeping non-stop as if it were on the verge of crashing.
When Uehara Naraku checked his system panel, he saw a bunch of completed tasks that left him dumbfounded.
Side task: Collect one Ninja World paper bomb (1/1), task complete, reward skill: Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu.
Side task: Collect a hundred Ninja World paper bombs (100/100), task complete, reward 100 gold coins.
Side task: Collect ten thousand Ninja World paper bombs (10,000/10,000), task complete, reward 150 gold coins.
Side task: Collect a hundred thousand Ninja World paper bombs (100,000/100,000), task complete, reward 200 gold coins.
Side task: Collect a million Ninja World paper bombs (1,000,000/1,000,000), task complete, reward 250 gold coins.
Side task: Collect ten million paper bombs (10,000,000/10,000,000), task complete, reward 300 gold coins.
Side task: Collect a hundred million paper bombs (100,000,000/100,000,000), task complete, reward 350 gold coins.
Besides the rewards listed above, Uehara Naraku noticed several remaining paper bomb tasks, with the final goal being to collect six billion paper bombs.
Uehara Naraku couldn't help but glance at Konan, feeling that his teacher was exceedingly generous, giving him a few scrolls that completed a pile of tasks...
Konan assumed he was frightened by the number of paper bombs, so she slipped the sealing scrolls into his ninja pouch, whispering, "I can make paper bombs myself; a hundred million is not a particularly large number. Your safety is the priority."
"…Yes, teacher."
Uehara Naraku nodded, but he was thinking about the Reward Skill: Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu, granted by the system. Unfortunately, it's a system skill that can't be taught to Konan.
However, this skill originates from the Ninja World.
Uehara couldn't help but have a thought: if there's ever a chance, he must visit the Konoha Kinjutsu Room to help Konan acquire the Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu training method…
If this woman, who possesses the most paper bombs in the Ninja World, obtained the Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu, who knows if the mysterious masked man could withstand it when he tries to harm Konan…
