Chapter 99: The Child has Grown Up!

Notes: Editing in a car coming back from a funeral was real fun, no?

While Sasori lamented Uehara and Deidara’s youth, Uehara was sighing about Sasori’s age. His mind could not adapt to the situation.

Originally, chasing Orochimaru was Sasori’s mission. He didn’t want anyone to interfere, even his teammate Deidara.

Uehara briefly spoke a few words about the Sunagakure’s problem test him.

And Sasori seemed to have taken the bait.

Perhaps Sasori was worried that his grandmother would provoke the Akatsuki. Hence, he took the initiative to take over the situation with the Sunagakure and agreed to Uehara’s pursuit and killing Orochimaru.

Obviously, to him, Chiyo was more important than Orochimaru.

When his relatives were in danger, Sasori obviously became a little uncomfortable.

After all, Chiyo raised him personally and taught him puppetry. Even Sasori, who was recognized as the strongest puppet master, always called his grandma the strongest puppet master.

Family affection, for Sasori, was indeed more important than everything else.

“Potentially, I could use Chiyo to lure Sasori to my side.”

Uehara touched his chin and sighed again, “But it feels a bit like stealing people from my Sensei!

Forget it. Let’s go chase Orochimaru first. I must complete several system missions regarding him to make up for the losses!”

At this moment, the ring on Uehara’s hand suddenly looked a little strange.

Nagato wanted to contact him about his situation, so he just needed to push Chakra into the ring.

However, Konan’s voice came out when the Chakra in his ring connected with Nagato’s ring in the Amegakure.

“Naraku.”

Konan’s first sentence was to chastise him, “Why didn’t you pay attention to avoid danger when you go out to perform a task? When you encountered the Sunagukre’s Fourth Kazekage, you should have reported to us immediately, not moved by yourself.”

Uehara patted his forehead and said to the ring on his finger, “Konan-sensei, I didn’t expect the Fourth Kazekage to be so weak.”

Konan agreed with him, “The Kazekages are indeed very weak, even that Sasori guy managed to kill the Third Kazekage who was known as the strongest Kazekage…”

After she finished speaking, Konan added, “But it should have been hard for you to kill him, right? Have your explosive tags been used up?”

“…There’s a lot left.”

Uehara’s expression became a bit subtle.

Why did his talk with Konan sound a bit like a parent calling by phone to ask if her child’s living expenses were used up?

Konan was a little relieved, but she still said in a deep voice, “The issue of Orochimaru can be left to Sasori to deal with. It’s too dangerous for you to remain active in Sunagakure.”

“Konan-sensei, I can deal with him.”

Uehara hurriedly promised, “And if I’m in danger, I’ll use the black rod to summon out Tendo Pain…”

These words were just to comfort Konan.

With Uehara’s current strength, he didn’t need to summon Pain even if he encountered Uchiha Obito.

He alone could fight when he wanted to fight, leave when he wanted to leave.

Ninja World was so big. No one could stop Uehara when he wanted to flee.

“No way.”

Konan interrupted him, not wanting him to continue to risk his life, “You’ve been away for too long this time, and I am getting a little worried. That Orochimaru guy is not so easy to deal with.”

Although Konan believed that Tendo Pain would easily defeat Orochimaru, according to the information she knew, Orochimaru had been hiding his strength.

One had to know that when Konan’s sensei praised Nagato’s quick learning of ninjutsu, he mentioned in a vague way that Nagato’s talent for learning ninjutsu was comparable to his friend Orochimaru.

Who knew if Orochimaru was hiding a dangerous forbidden technique?

“Hello, hello hello… Konan-sensei…”

Uehara tapped on his ring and whispered, “Can you hear me? Can you hear me? The signal here isn’t good…”

Konan said, “I can hear you…”

“Hello… can you hear me? Sensei? Can you hear me?”

Uehara repeated it a few more times, closed his mouth, and quickly cut off the Chakra supply to the ring.

This was Uehara’s magical skill from another world.

The only problem was that Nagato may know the truth, but Uehara had his unique way of dealing with it. He could say that he had been flying too long, and his Chakra ran out.

It was just a harmless little trick anyway.

After a while, the ring trembled a few times dully, and when it seemed that it would not receive any Chakra, it finally stopped.

In the Amegakure.

Konan’s expression was not very good. She clenched her fist and said, “We’ve lost contact with him, and I am a little worried…”

“Cough cough cough…”

After a few coughs, Nagato suppressed the smile on his face, shook his head, and sighed, “It may be that the child has grown up.”

Konan doesn’t quite understand the meaning of Nagato.

However, Nagato didn’t explain too much to her.

Nagato, as the creator of the ring, knew when a problem happened with the ring.

“Okay, let’s contact him after a while!”

Nagato slowly lowered his head, desperately suppressing the smile on his face, and continued, “Regardless, Uehara can summon out Tendo Pain. I’ll wait for his summon here.”

He waited until Konan left.

Nagato quietly infused his Chakra into the ring and whispered to the ring, “Uehara, if your Chakra is exhausted, you should go replace a safe place to rest, first.

If your Chakra is not exhausted when your return, remember to tell your Sensei that your Chakra was depleted. Do you understand?

If you encounter any danger, immediately summon out Tendo Pain. You don’t need to be too persistent to prove to us that your power has become stronger.

If you want to become a full member of Akatsuki, I’ll replace a way.

Also, your teacher has been worried about you being outside for too long.

If there isn’t a way to catch the Orochimaru, immediately return to the Land of Rain.

I’ve also experienced what you are currently experiencing at your age. I felt a little rebellious and confused, and I want to prove that I have become very powerful to my Sensei.

But, Uehara, remember that your safety is the most important thing to us. “

The Land of Wind.

Uehara felt a little dizzy hearing Nagato’s words.

Did he just passively accepted an adolescent’s educational talk?

Can this ring on his hand leave a message unilaterally? He had a vague memory of Nagato also doing this when Hidan and Kakuzu were performing their tasks.

Uehara was a little moved after hearing what Nagato said.

He had considered healing Nagato before. After getting the skill Astral Infusion, he had seen a possibility of renewing Nagato’s life and reducing the burden of the Rinnegan.

Now he just had to obtain a medical ninjutsu scroll or replace another way to explain the source of Astral infusion.

Hmm? Couldn’t he just throw the pot to Orochimaru?

“Then I go and clean up Orochimaru first, and then help them manage the Amegakure when I go back! Being a village chief or something may not work, but being the village’s accountant shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Uehara quietly activated his Destiny skill and looked at the Orochimaru and Kabuto’s escape route. Their destination should be a secret base.

“I’ll go to their base and wait for them!”

Uehara’s figure quietly disappeared into the air, his voice gradually dissipating on the dunes, “When Orochimaru and Kabuto arrive, would they be pleasantly surprised to see me? I’ll go and look around for healing scrolls first!”
