At this moment.
Hoshigaki Kisame's face was full of shock.
He had merely signed a contract, yet from that ghostly green energy, he gained a significant increase in Chakra and physical energy!
Therefore, the first question Hoshigaki Kisame asked was about his newfound power: "I want to know what kind of Jutsu this is, that can enhance my strength and Chakra..."
The first question Kisame asked stumped Uehara Naraku.
A look of awkwardness appeared on the young ninja's face, and he quickly waved his hand and casually explained, "This is a gift from the Dark Spear. Let's talk about the Eye of the Moon Plan proposed by that fraud Uchiha Obito!"
Kisame nodded and seriously said, "This is also what I want to know the most about, whether the Eye of the Moon Plan can achieve peace in the Ninja World..."
"No, it cannot."
Uehara Naraku shook his head and explained solemnly, "The Eye of the Moon Plan is a huge conspiracy. Behind it are many conspirators using this plan to deceive people. Black Zetsu used it to deceive Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Madara used it to deceive Uchiha Obito, and Uchiha Obito is using this plan to deceive my teacher..."
"..."
Kisame, only half-listening, felt a bit light-headed. Isn't this Eye of the Moon Plan just a series of nested traps?
It sounded a bit like a pyramid scheme...
That Uchiha Obito who deceived him was also a victim!
Kisame widened his eyes and whispered, "What will be the ultimate result of the Eye of the Moon Plan then?"
"Um..."
Uehara Naraku shrugged, looking helpless, "Perhaps it will resurrect an old woman who's over a thousand years old, has two sons, and still looks somewhat cute!"
"..."
Kisame couldn't comprehend it all and finally realized that he shouldn't have asked so much, as there were too many things he couldn't understand.
The so-called truth of the Ninja World was too complicated and not something that Uehara Naraku and he could sort out in a short time.
Kisame pondered for a moment and then asked, "So what should I do? Should I kill that Uchiha Obito and stop this plan?"
"No."
Uehara Naraku shook his head, speaking softly, "You should join the Akatsuki, lie low, and pretend to be a spy sent by Uchiha Obito to monitor Uchiha Itachi. When I need you, I will ask you for information about Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi."
"..."
After a moment, Kisame understood Uehara Naraku's meaning and chuckled, "So I'm actually your spy, but I have to pretend to be a spy sent by that fraud Uchiha Obito to monitor Itachi the Clan Annihilator, right?"
"You're very insightful."
Uehara Naraku praised Kisame and added, "When we return to the Akatsuki, don't be too formal with me. Due to certain reasons, I'm still just an intern in the organization."
"How many other interns are there in the Akatsuki?"
Kisame was a bit speechless looking at Uehara Naraku, "That guy named Obito who approached me and ordered me to severely injure you also told me he's just an intern in the Akatsuki now."
"I'm different from him."
Uehara Naraku waved his hand, explaining softly, "Uchiha Obito only uses the title of an intern to hide himself, secretly monitoring the Akatsuki's every move, while I'm a true intern of the Akatsuki, completely legitimate."
Kisame shook his head without speaking.
He certainly couldn't bluntly tell his new boss that this boss was hiding much deeper than Uchiha Obito.
Who knows why this Akatsuki organization, full of spies and conspirators with different intentions, hasn't disbanded yet...
It's truly a resilient, almost miraculous, organization!
Uehara Naraku was secretly thinking that other than the matter with Momochi Zabuza and Haku, there wasn't much else in the Land of Water. With that thought, Uehara asked Kisame, "Do you have anything else to handle in the Land of Water?"
"No, are we leaving the Land of Water now?"
Kisame shook his head, he was originally unattached.
A moment later, Kisame seemed to think of something and smiled, "I just heard that Momochi Zabuza plans to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage. Why don't we give Uchiha Obito a gift before we leave... by killing that Mizukage he's controlling, huh?"
"..."
Uehara Naraku was silent for a moment, recalling Kisame's bloodthirsty nature, and couldn't help but say, "The Hidden Mist Village is your home..."
"That's why before defecting, I should help them end the Blood Mist Village!"
Kisame carried the Shark Skin Greatsword on his back, speaking softly, "As a ninja who's killed many of my village companions, I truly understand the pain of killing comrades... The Fourth Mizukage Yagura issued so many orders to kill comrades; the real him must have been in agony long ago, right?"
Who can endure the pain of killing comrades?
Even Kisame, whose heart is now numb, once felt that pain. In his loneliest time, he met a female ninja who was kind to him; yet he killed her with his own hands following his superior's orders.
If the Genjutsu over Fourth Mizukage Yagura is dispelled, knowing the hidden internal conflicts in the Hidden Mist Village were due to his orders, this Mizukage will surely take his life in sorrow, right?
Uehara Naraku looked at the excited Kisame, feeling he shouldn't deter his subordinate's initiative, "Fine, do it however you want to!"
After all, killing the Fourth Mizukage Yagura would surely make Uchiha Obito, who secretly controls Yagura, furious, which is pretty good.
However, Kisame shook his head, exposing his shark-like teeth with a smile, "No, I can't do this... because I still need to infiltrate Uchiha Obito's camp. If I killed Mizukage, it would arouse his suspicion."
"..."
Uehara Naraku immediately understood Kisame's intention, wanting to use this opportunity, borrowing his hand and Momochi Zabuza's assassination attempt, to contribute to their homeland.
If not for the reasonableness in Kisame's words, Uehara Naraku felt it might be hard to discern who the real boss was between him and Kisame...
Uehara Naraku furrowed his brow and said, "Assassinating the Fourth Mizukage isn't easy, especially with a Tailed Beast inside him. We should first investigate his intel..."
"Don't worry, I know Mizukage's whereabouts."
Kisame chuckled, shaking his head, providing intel to his new boss, "Ever since Yagura was severely injured by Uchiha Itachi and Biwa Juzo, he's been living in his original residence, a forbidden area in the Hidden Mist Village, only accessible to his trusted ninjas."
"Understood."
Uehara Naraku sighed.
Anyway, going to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage, besides bothering Uchiha Obito, can fulfill a few side missions.
The reward for assassinating the Mizukage might be pretty generous, right?
