Chapter 385 - Chapter 304: Should We Be Glad That Uehara Naraku Is Our Teammate Again? (Part 2)

Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Jutsu!

In the next moment, the figures of Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato simultaneously swapped positions, and Senju Tobirama's figure appeared beneath Uehara Naraku's feet!

Senju Tobirama reached out and grabbed Uehara Naraku's ankle, while a series of Paper Bombs floated from Tobirama's body and tightly adhered to Uehara Naraku!

"Trying to use the Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu?"

Uehara Naraku looked down at the series of Paper Bombs appearing on his leg, a subtle smile appeared on his face: "I thought you might have something new..."

"No need, simplicity is enough."

Tobirama's eyes slightly tightened as he said in a low voice: "Since you've learned this Jutsu, you should know its power! Moreover, this Jutsu is the most suitable tactic to accompany Reanimation!"

"Seriously..."

Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead, and a burst of lightning exploded from his body, destroying all the Paper Bomb Jutsu on his leg!

"Enough, your fight is meaningless now."

Uehara Naraku crouched and delivered a punch to Senju Tobirama, shattering him into a million pieces, and in the next moment, appeared again beside Namikaze Minato!

Just as the Fourth Hokage formed a Tailed Beast Ball and attempted to continue the fight, Uehara Naraku swiftly pinned down his hand!

The Tailed Beast Ball was directly forced onto Namikaze Minato by Uehara Naraku!

Rumble!

A thunderous sound echoed across the land!

Uehara Naraku slowly emerged from the smoke, and behind him Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama's bodies were slowly regenerating, clearly showing they had been defeated once again.

"Should we be grateful?"

Tsunade watched as Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato were effortlessly defeated by Uehara Naraku once again, demonstrating his monstrous combat prowess!

Complex emotions crossed Tsunade's face: "Should we be grateful that Uehara Naraku has become our comrade again?"

"Perhaps..."

Gaara drifted on a cushion of sand to Tsunade's side, clearly not looking pleased: "This bastard's acting skills are impressive! Just two months ago, he was struggling when we fought alongside him against the Second Hokage."

Honestly, Gaara was speechless!

Now, facing the joint attack of the Second Hokage and Fourth Hokage, Uehara Naraku overwhelmed them effortlessly.

What about a few months ago?

Damn it, what was this bastard doing a few months ago!

A few months ago, this bastard Uehara Naraku was with them, strategizing and executing plans to encircle the Akatsuki members. They encountered resistance from the Second Hokage and Second Mizukage.

At that time, what was Uehara Naraku's behavior?

Faced with the powerful Water Release of Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, Uehara Naraku appeared to be fighting desperately, making the Kage-level ninjas present feel a bit embarrassed...

Back then, everyone's hearts were pure.

Both Tsunade, Terumi Mei, and Gaara believed Uehara Naraku was giving his all, determined to break through the Second Hokage's blockade.

Even if Uehara Naraku was a ninja of The Hidden Rain Village, his relentless effort moved the three of them slightly.

Now, it seems Uehara Naraku's acting skills were indeed impressive.

They couldn't find any flaws in his half-hearted efforts!

"Sorry."

Nagato coughed a few times, covering his lips, and said: "Everything Uehara did to you back then was our fault..."

"Forget it."

Tsunade waved her hand and sighed: "If you ignore what he did as a member of the Akatsuki, we honestly hoped he was just a ninja from The Hidden Rain Village. After all, he truly was a good person while active as a Hidden Rain Ninja..."

"..."

Gaara fell silent for a while.

After a moment, Gaara nodded and sighed: "If I didn't know that guy destroyed The Hidden Sand Village, I might really want to be his friend."

Although Uehara Naraku had a sharp tongue and often criticized the big Ninja Villages, he also often aided others outside of politics.

In a sense, if Uehara Naraku wasn't part of the Akatsuki, they would have sincerely treated him as a friend.

Even Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but lower his head and say in a low voice: "Back then, having Uehara as our friend was truly something to be happy about..."

After saying this, Naruto paused, rubbed the back of his head, and raised it: "But it's fine now! At least Uehara Naraku has become our ally again. We'll eventually go back to how we were..."

Gaara shook his head in displeasure; his animosity towards Uehara Naraku ran deep: "Even now, facing a common enemy, I still suspect the Akatsuki team is deliberately deceiving us."

Gaara continued sternly: "They might be acting to gain our trust and could plan to take the Nine-tail from Naruto's body in the future..."

"No need to worry."

Nagato shook his head, then, looking at Uehara Naraku far away, said softly: "After this battle, I will give you a proper answer."

"Let's hope so!"

Gaara frowned as he glanced at Nagato.

After speaking, Gaara moved his sand cushion, floating upward and flying toward another battlefield where the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was breaking free of his sand and pursuing once again.

Although Uehara Naraku's combat power is extremely strong, the situation hasn't improved at all because they still haven't found a way to break the Reanimation technique.

Yet at least a glimmer of hope was visible.

Tsunade watched the process as Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato's bodies regenerated and said seriously: "The more a Reanimated ninja's body is destroyed, the longer it takes to recover. We can take this time to seal them..."

"Yes."

Nagato nodded, using his remaining chakra to gently form two black rods of Yin-Yang Release and tossed them beside Tsunade: "Hokage-sama, take these to Uehara. The black rods of Yin-Yang Release can stop the movement of chakra, and maybe they can help..."

"..."

Tsunade turned to glance at Nagato, furrowing her brow: "Can your body hold out? Your aura seems a bit weak..."

"It's fine."

Nagato shook his head, looking at Konan standing by his side, forcing a smile: "Don't worry, I won't fall until I finish what must be done..."

"..."

Tsunade fell into silence.

On the battlefield.

Uehara Naraku no longer paid attention to the recovering Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama. His gaze slowly shifted and finally stopped at Yakushi Kabuto.

At this moment, his intent was clear.

"Yakushi Kabuto, it's your turn."
