Behind the Scenes from Naruto

Chapter 6 - 6: The Boy Carrying The Light Of Akatsuki

Akatsuki's uniform looks very handsome.

Perhaps it was because Uehara Naraku's acting skills were too good, which led to Konan's reluctance to let him be contaminated with the darkness of Akatsuki and wanted him to have a bright future.

Uehara Naraku didn't get the new clothes, so he could only look at Uchiha Itachi wearing the black robe with red cloud printed with some envy.

Konan glanced at the envious young man, reach out her hand messed up his hair: "Naraku, your future will be very bright."

"In fact, it's pretty good just like this."

Uehara curled his lips and murmured casually.

However, when he saw that Konan took out two more bottles of purple nail polish and handed it to Uchiha Itachi, his face couldn't help but twitched.

Does Akatsuki's nail polish have to be this thick?

Should men apply nail polish too?

Konan watched Uchiha Itachi calmly took the nail polish, and suddenly said to him: "Uchiha Itachi...in the future, stay away from Uehara. If I see anyone who wants to hurt him, I won't be merciful."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and glanced at Uehara Naraku who was standing next to Konan and nodded his head slightly.

"Konan-senpai, reasonable fighting can also make children grow faster!"

The masked man standing next to Uchiha Itachi looked at Uehara with interest, and said, "I feel that this kid's card throwing is very similar to Konan-senpai's paper escape secret technique. It might be Konan-senpai's brother or something?"

"..."

The light blue-haired woman frowned, neither answered nor denied, and drove them out loud: "If you have nothing to do, you can leave."

"Good, good! I'm living, I'm going to buy meatballs!"

The masked man held his head, whistling and left.

As for Uchiha Itachi, he has just joined the organization and will temporarily live in the organization's secret base, waiting for Pain to assign him to which battle team.

Because of the words of the masked man just now, Konan suddenly became interested in Uehara's abilities.

She also wanted to know Uehara's current strength which was able to make a tie with a well-trained Konoha Rebel in a contest earlier in the cave.

When Konan saw the card in Uehara Naruto's hand, he reached out and took it, looked down at the pattern on the card.

That is a king of hearts.

"Is this a card used in a casino?"

Konan's face turned cold, she looked at Uehara's with a dissatisfied face, and said coldly: "Are you...addicted to gambling?"

"...No."

The boy wave his hands and explained: "Because I couldn't afford shurikens at home when I was young, I could only practice shuriken throwing with cheap cards. Now I am used to it, and I developed a technique about throwing cards in a fight."

Apart from saying that, it's not easy to explain!

After all, the card throwing technique is quite practical, not to mention, the effect of card explosion alone is equivalent to the power of detonating talisman explosion.

"Is that so? Naraku, you will be my disciple from now on!"

Konan spread out her palms, and sheets of origami floated out of her palms, turning into paper butterflies, flying around them.

Konan manipulated a paper butterfly to fall on her fingertips, and whispered: "My paper secret technique is similar to your playing cards in nature, so I can teach you many ways to fight with paper."

With this, she will be able to teach him in his growth, but also to inherit Akatsuki's will.

"..."

Uehara Naraku was in a daze. Is there any misunderstanding in this matter? With his strength, does he need any teacher?

It's just that if he wants to stay in Akatsuki, it seems inappropriate to refuse Konan's invitation.

"Then, please take care of Konan-sama!"

In Uehara Naraku's head something jumped out because of another weird side mission that has been completed, and he read it carefully.

[Mission completed: Become Konan's disciple (1/1), gold coins +150.]

It's just a small amount of money, when did he become a beggar?

According to Uehara Naraku's understanding of the system's side tasks that he barely understood in the system's operating mechanism. The same task issue by many people, the greater the reward for completing it.

Konan squatted in front of Uehara Naraku, helping him organize his clothes, and his voice gradually softened: "Naraku, from now on...call me sensei."

"...Yes, Konan-sensei."

Uehara Naraku blinked his eyes and followed her kindness.

Actually, Konan didn't have any talent for being a teacher. This woman thought about it and didn't know what ninjutsu she will teach to Uehara in their first class. She decided to rely on her previous teacher's teaching method to conduct a battle test.

Although Konan's teacher is Konoha Ninja, she did not experience any bell-stealing test but worked with her teammates to defeat their teacher's shadow clone.

Apparently, she plans to do the same.

Konan brushes the hair on his forehead and explained softly: "In a few days I will conduct a simple test with you. I will let my paper clone fight you and decide which ninjutsu to teach you, and judge whether you can take part in our next mission..."

"Mission?"

"Correct."

Konan nodded, put his palm on Uehara's shoulder, and whispered: "Our mission is to avenge Akatsuki's former members and your father... I don't want you to live in hatred, but I think these things were needed and let you know because there are things that shouldn't be kept with time."

"..."

Uehara Naraku nodded awkwardly.

In fact, he knows all those things, and even the truth he knows is far deeper, and farther than what Konan and Nagato can see.

So, is it time to test my acting skill again?

Konan's face slowly sank, and his expression gradually became a little cold and said one word: "Twelve years ago... the person who killed the other members of Akatsuki was Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure. The high-level shinobi Shimura Danzo of Konohagakure and half-god Hanzo of Amegakure."

"What?"

Uehara Naraku's face showed just a hint of surprise: "So... shall we attack Konoha or Ame?"

Pain heard this, walked over to stand beside them, and said solemnly: "Konan, tell him the task directly! Uehara Naraku must participate in this task. This is his destiny."

"No, it will be dangerous with Naraku's strength to participate..."

Konan and Pain had a head-on conflict for the first time: "I have to test him first to ensure that he can survive the mission."

"If he died in this mission, it is because his strength is too weak to survive in this world!"

"Pain!"

Konan raised his head abruptly and stared at him without fear for a while. After a while, she lowered her head and whispered: "I still remember the teaching of Teacher Jiraiya, young children are the future hope... and Naraku is the only one left."

Since Yahiko died in battle, this is the first time she defies Pain's will. This kind of thing hasn't happened for a long time.

The appearance of this boy is like a light, illuminating their past.

Let Konan know from now on that she still bears a kind of responsibility, she wants to let the Akatsuki's will that once wanted to illuminate the world of Ninja, inherit to Uehara Naraku.

"..."

The orange-haired man was silent for a while, turned and left, leaving only one sentence in the rain: "Whatever you want! We have been preparing for this war for twelve years.. Whether there is a kid involved or not has no effect on the outcome."
