Chapter 224: Uehara, Your Puppet is Very Artistic!

Sasuke attached great importance to capturing Sanbi.

In Akatsuki’s meeting, Uehara mentioned that only after he successfully captured Sanbi, he would give him a fair chance to fight Itachi to the death.

To be honest, the feeling of being controlled by others in every move of this life was really uncomfortable, but this was the only way to take revenge.

Sasuke’s heart was actually very confused.

In addition to killing Itachi, he could only throw away all other distracting thoughts.

For example, Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura, and Team 7, all had to be thrown away. There was nothing more important than killing Itachi.

As for the rest, he could only wait until he killed Itachi.

Sasuke thought that he could try to return to Konoha with Akatsuki’s information, and then continue to play the ninja game with Team 7 to restore the reputation of Uchiha clan in Konoha.

However, sometimes, Sasuke also thought that he should replace Itachi position in Akatsuki and become an official member of Akatsuki. Like these members of Akatsuki, he would stir up trouble, become a strong person that everyone feared, and get a title similar to Itachi.

The Sharingan Sasuke, or the Avenger Sasuke.

If he wanted to kill Itachi, he had to exchange for a duel opportunity granted by the Akatsuki organization. If he wanted to get this opportunity, he had to capture Sanbi by himself.

It was really uncomfortable!

Why does his revenge have to be approved by Akatsuki!

After being anger, Sasuke suddenly felt a little fortunate. If he did not join Akatsuki’s organization and was not Akatsuki’s intern. If he wanted to kill Itachi, wouldn’t he become the enemy of the entire group of monsters?

“The rules of the examination are as follows.”

Uehara’s voice interrupted Sasuke’s thoughts. He hurriedly listened, hoping to find something beneficial for himself.

The exam rules set by Uehara also included the tactics to capture Sanbi, and also for his own mission.

“In an hour, I will go attack Kirigakure. If there are no accidents, this group of Kiri Ninjas will choose to go back to defense. After they return, it will be your time to move. From that moment on, you will capture Sanbi within three hours.”

After Uehara finished speaking, he turned to look at Deidara, Sasori, and the others, “Three hours is enough, isn’t it?”

“Ha, to me, half an hour is enough!”

“It’s enough.”

Deidara and Sasori both nodded. As for Zabuza, who was beside them, he was a little hesitant, but he also nodded.

Damn, this group of lunatics from Akatsuki’s organization actually let Sasuke catch Sanbi alone? The Sanbi would be beaten this little brat to death!

Sasuke frowned and asked in a low voice, “What if the Kiri Ninja troops stationed near Sanbi did not evacuate?”

What if after Uehara attacked Kirigakure, his scheme was seen through?

Was he going to continue to carry out the test to capture Sanbi?

Wasn’t this nonsense?

There were over a thousand Kiri Ninja nearby. Even if Sasuke thought that he was strong, it was impossible for him to survive the siege of thousands of ninjas!

“Don’t worry!”

Uehara chuckled and spread out his palm, “They will definitely transfer the ninjas here back!”

If Kirigakure was on the verge of destruction, even if they knew that it was Akatsuki who organized a conspiracy to attack them, Terumi would definitely send back the reinforcements stationed near Sanbi.

Compared to a Bijuu, the safety of the village was more important.

After Uehara said this confidently, he looked at Sasuke and added, “Remember, you only have three hours, at that time I will send people to check…”

“Understood.”

Sasuke nodded seriously.

If Uehara really created a suitable environment for him, three hours should be enough for him to get rid of Sanbi.

Last time, when they captured Nibi Jinchuriki,

Sasuke was fortunate enough to participate once. He barely managed to learn some experience.

As long as you don’t let the Bijuu release the Bijūdama, Sasuke really had enough confidence to capture Sanbi. After all, he still had some information about Sanbi…

However, when he thought of the way he obtained information, Sasuke felt a little unhappy!

That bastard Itachi!

A few days ago, when they ran into each other at the base, Itachi very contemptuously said to Sasuke that it was absolutely impossible for Sasuke to be Sanbi’s opponent. Because Itachi had once fought with Sanbi Jinchuriki Yagura and had suffered a lot.

Itachi believed that it was impossible for Sasuke to survive under the attack of Sanbi.

First of all, Sanbi’s defense was very strong, and the physical skills that Sasuke had mastered could not play any role at all. Moreover, the fire ninjutsu that Sasuke had mastered could not cause any substantial damage to Sanbi but would be restrained by it.

Itachi bluntly told Sasuke that in this world, only his Mangekyo Sharingan Amaterasu, which could even burn flames, could defeat Sanbi!

But Itachi contemptuously said that he didn’t need to use Amaterasu at all. He only needed Genjutsu to easily control Sanbi.

Without Mangekyo Sharingan, Sasuke, relying on merely three tomoe Sharingan, even if he was skilled in using Genjutsu, it was impossible to directly use Genjutsu to control Sanbi. At most, he could only control it for a few seconds.

Sasuke couldn’t help but recall Itachi’s last words.

“Stupid little brother, without Mangekyo Sharingan, you are nothing but trash. I can easily use Mangekyo Sharingan to defeat Sanbi, but your strength is not even able to break through its scales…

If you want to stand in front of me and challenge me after capturing Sanbi, then try your best to recall the pain I gave you! Only pain and hatred can allow you to have the same eyes as me. Only then can you, this trash, be qualified to stand in front of me. “

“That bastard…”

After recalling the words of Itachi, Sasuke couldn’t help but curse in his heart. He slowly stroked his eyes and contemptuously said, “Hmph, Itachi, I have to thank you for your arrogance that I obtain information about Sanbi…”

That demon-like elder brother was truly too arrogant!

Itachi treated his younger brother like a high and mighty god treating an ant. However, he had no idea that an ant had spent several years secretly gathering information about him through his every move and every word!

Sasuke was very confident. With his understanding of Itachi over the years and his targeted training, as long as he was given a chance to fight, he would definitely be able to defeat and kill Itachi in a frontal battle!

“What are you thinking about?”

Uehara’s words pulled Sasuke back to reality.

Sasuke shook his head, stroked his eyes, and said in a low voice, “It’s nothing. I was just thinking about when I could officially start my operation. After all, I can’t wait to catch Sanbi and then go back to kill that guy Itachi!”

“…”

Uehara looked at Sasuke strangely and nodded, “Alright, it’s good that you have this confidence. After all, we used to be comrades-in-arms in the Chunin exam. If you can really kill Itachi, I will admit your strength and let you replace him.”

“Oh?”

Sasuke’s eyes immediately lit up.

If he remembered correctly, Itachi had once defeated Uehara. If he could defeat Itachi, then didn’t that mean that his strength had already surpassed Uehara?

No, things couldn’t be considered this way!

Sasuke looked at Uehara and made a request, “Hey, Uehara, if I can defeat Sanbi, come and fight me! I want to use you to test my strength!”

“Huh?”

Before Uehara could say anything, Deidara took the lead to look at Sasuke and said with difficulty, “Hey, little brat, are you crazy? You actually want to challenge Uehara!”

After a while, Deidara stroked his chin with his fingers and retorted, “It seems to be possible. Although Uehara’s brain and summoned beast are very powerful, we have never seen him really fight except for the time when he created a super big volcano! Maybe his strength is not that strong?”

“Idiot!”

Sasori couldn’t help but glare at Deidara and said in a low voice, “Even if you have never seen Uehara fight, you should remember that he killed Hanzo, Fourth Kazekage, and Third Hokage, right?”

Zabuza added in a low and muffled voice, “Our Kirigakure’s Fourth Mizukage was also killed by him!”

“Eh? Is there such a thing?”

Uehara turned to look at Zabuza curiously and scratched the back of his head, “That guy Yagura is just so-so. I really forgot that I did this kind of thing!”

Zabuza felt that Uehara was targeting him.

Back then, when he assassinate Yagura, he risked half of his life but could not kill him. Yet that Yagura was easily solved by Uehara…

Zabuza really felt that Uehara was taking the opportunity to insult him.

Unfortunately, if he know his limits, he would know that he couldn’t beat Uehara.

Zabuza snorted and said with dissatisfaction, “I remember that you were only twelve years old at that time! It was normal to forget after so many years…”

“Tsk, who would remember such a small matter!”

Uehara waved his hand carelessly. He really did not want to remember those opponents who could not pose a threat at all.

Moreover, with his current strength, there was no one in the entire Ninja World who could be his opponent. It was estimated that only when Madara and Hashirama were resurrected would he have the desire to challenge them.

Uehara turned to look at Sasuke and looked at him seriously. He said word by word, “After you successfully capture Sanbi, I will fight you…”

Uehara added, “I can understand your thoughts very well. I want to challenge an opponent who can test my strength before fighting against Itachi…

So I will try my best to simulate Itachi’s fighting style. I can try to simulate Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu as much as possible, except for Mangekyo Sharingan.

Sasuke frowned and refused, “I don’t think so. What I want is for you to display your full strength…”

“Huh? Full strength?”

Uehara looked at Sasuke and could not help but chuckle. He raised one of his fingers and unparalleled confidence gradually appeared on his face, “Sasuke, don’t be too confident… I agree to fight you. It is a reward for you to defeat Sanbi.”

“…”

Sasuke’s face turned ugly again as if he had returned to the time when he was beaten in the Chunin exam. He gritted his teeth and said, “Then let’s wait until I catch Sanbi! Hurry up and start, I can’t wait!”

Uehara looked at Sasuke’s expression with satisfaction and whispered, “We will attack Kirigakure now. Kirigakure will send reinforcements soon. They are about four hours away from here, which means that you still have four hours to rest and replenish…”

“Understood.”

Sasuke nodded.

Uehara looked at Sasuke who was checking his equipment and supplies. He smiled and said, “However, since it is an examination, there must be someone in charge of monitoring you… Kuchiyose!”

A burst of smoke appeared in front of everyone.

Just as everyone was surprised, a very beautiful female mechanical puppet appeared beside Uehara. Her body was made up of small pieces of alloy, forming a precise puppet seamlessly.

It was just that this puppet doesn’t seem to be connected to the Chakra line. It stood in place with its head lowered and doesn’t move.

However, just the appearance of this puppet was enough to make people gasp in admiration. Even the mechanical face was quite beautiful as if she was a teenage girl.

It was precisely Uehara’s puppet, Clockwork Demon Orianna

Sasori’s eyes tightened. He couldn’t help but praise the puppet, “To actually be able to create such a precise puppet, what an unimaginable art… Uehara, did you make this puppet or was it given to you by the leader?”

“Actually, it was made by Orochimaru.”

Uehara spread his hands and threw the black pot on Orochimaru. His palm fell on Clockwork Demon’s body, and after injecting 50,000 chakras into her body, he softly said, “Wake up, Orianna!”

Kacha kacha…

The mechanical sound gradually began to ring…

The key on the back of this puppet started to rotate.

Pieces of alloy began to rotate and gradually formed a round ball in the hands of this puppet, floating in the center of her palm.

In the next moment, the body of this puppet suddenly emitted a blue light. A light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and a gentle mechanical female voice came out of her mouth, “We…will kill your enemies…that will be fun.”
