No one expected it.
In the presence of everyone, Orochimaru, that guy, was truly audacious, manipulating Namikaze Minato to steal Nagato's corpse.
Everyone's eyes showed a bit of astonishment.
The one who reacted first was undoubtedly Uehara Naraku.
"Put down Lord Nagato!"
Upon seeing the flash of golden light, Uehara Naraku instantly pursued like a madman, his speed almost leaving a trail in the air!
The others didn't dare to hesitate and followed closely behind!
Everyone was a bit flustered; once Orochimaru obtained the Rinnegan or Nagato's corpse, what terrifying consequences might it bring!
After all, Orochimaru has always been one to fear the world being at peace; he definitely wouldn't treat the Rinnegan and Nagato as mere collectibles!
If Orochimaru obtained the Rinnegan, that bastard would surely use it to unsettle the entire Ninja World.
Unfortunately...
In terms of speed, who could ever catch up with Namikaze Minato, the Golden Flash?
Uehara Naraku, having completely lost Namikaze Minato's trail, angrily punched the ground, looking back at Tsunade and Jiraiya: "Lord Hokage, Lord Jiraiya, isn't this too much of a coincidence, every time it's Konoha's renegade..."
Uehara Naraku slowly clenched his fists, walking towards Tsunade and Jiraiya, his voice gradually turning somber: "Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, Orochimaru, Yakushi Kabuto... they're all from Konoha, this is Konoha's conspiracy!"
It's really hard to argue against this.
The ninjas stirring trouble behind the scenes in the Ninja World are all unexceptionally from Konoha, quite strange indeed.
After all, ninjas defecting from various Ninja Villages at most become members of Akatsuki, but Konoha's ninjas, if they don't cause a big event, it seems to betray their renegade identity...
How could Tsunade refute this?
The renegades from the village are too strong, blame her as Hokage?
After all, Tsunade has only been Hokage for four years!
Chakra almost materialized, erupting from Uehara Naraku: "Now! Immediately! Make that bastard Orochimaru return Lord Nagato's body!"
"Uehara Naraku, calm down!"
Jiraiya stood in front of Uehara Naraku, speaking deeply: "No one wanted this to happen, we've been hunting Orochimaru..."
"Konoha's been chasing him for over ten years, yet I did better in just a few years!"
Uehara Naraku clenched his fists tightly, coldly watching Jiraiya and Tsunade: "You're friends with Orochimaru, it's you secretly instructing him to steal Lord Nagato's corpse!"
"Naraku..."
Konan interrupted Uehara's words, slowly approaching him. She extended an arm, holding Uehara Naraku and embracing her disciple.
Lowering her head gently, Konan's voice trembled a bit as she comforted him: "Naraku, be rational, don't be like this… Nagato wouldn't want to see you like this."
Just moments ago, Konan's mind was blank too.
It was only upon seeing Uehara Naraku almost lose his rationality that Konan recalibrated her emotions, softly comforting her agitated disciple.
"I understand, teacher."
Uehara Naraku held Konan's shoulders, speaking softly: "I'll find a way to find Orochimaru and bring back Lord Nagato!"
When Uehara Naraku said this, his face was heavy.
It's a man's promise, and he was originally planning to do it, just unsure how Orochimaru would feel then.
Tsunade and Jiraiya beside him felt slightly strange, Tsunade sighed and promised: "We'll also intensify the search for Orochimaru's trail... if there's any information, we'll inform you immediately."
Orochimaru, that bastard, really doesn't act decently!
Manipulating Namikaze Minato to directly steal Nagato's corpse was done neatly, yet it left them with such a huge problem.
Uehara Naraku was like a lunatic!
Any issue could make him go to extreme lengths!
Thankfully, Konan behaved rationally enough, perhaps out of necessity, maintaining her composure to prevent emotional breakdown because her disciple, Uehara Naraku, resembled a volcano ready to erupt.
Konan had to soothe her disciple's emotions properly.
Tsunade's gaze slightly shifted, focusing on Konan and Uehara Naraku. The bond between the teacher and disciple was genuinely strong, at least Tsunade has never seen anyone able to control Uehara Naraku's intense emotions.
The bonds within the Ninja World are indeed the most complex relationships.
Even Uehara Naraku, who once destroyed several major national Ninja Villages, cannot escape such bonds now!
With Nagato's corpse stolen by Orochimaru, Uehara Naraku's mood was poor, silently sitting beside Konan, so when Tsunade sought to communicate intelligence, she could only converse with Konan for the time being.
Honestly, Tsunade preferred conversing with Konan.
At least it made Tsunade feel calmer inside.
If communicating intelligence with Uehara Naraku, even knowing his words were true, Tsunade couldn't help but discount the information due to Uehara Naraku's previous fixation on Hanzo.
