Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 525 - 427: The Celestial Yaksha Joins and Akatsuki’s Benefits
This guy...
is a bit inhuman.
Doflamingo looked at Uehara Naraku, who had just hung up the Radio Snail. After a moment of silence, he finally opened his mouth to argue: "Hey, you definitely killed me twice just now..."
Uehara Naraku put away his Radio Snail, glanced at Doflamingo, and clenched his fist: "Oh, right, I haven’t gotten around to hitting you yet, have I?"
Doflamingo’s forehead twitched. He watched as Uehara Naraku’s fist turned pitch black and hastily said, "Hey, that’s not what I meant..."
Doflamingo could only hurriedly spread out a web to try to block Uehara Naraku’s attack as he watched his figure!
The next moment, Uehara Naraku’s figure disappeared from his sight!
Someone tapped his back. Just as Doflamingo was about to turn his head, he realized he made a mistake as his jaw was heavily punched!
Doflamingo fell into a cliff!
What followed was a continuous beating!
This Celestial Yaksha finally experienced an unprecedented nightmare. It felt even more powerless than facing Uchiha Sasuke. This guy was clearly using plain Taijutsu, yet it felt completely unbeatable!
Ten minutes later.
Uehara Naraku sat on the cliff, and Doflamingo, covered in wounds, sat beside him in a somewhat embarrassed manner. The two of them looked out at the sea.
"Honestly."
Uehara Naraku looked at the vast sea and sighed softly: "When I came to see you, I was in a bad mood. After beating you just now, I feel a lot better."
"......"
Doflamingo couldn’t force a smile, only covering the wound on his forehead. He didn’t want to speak, lest he anger the guy in front of him again.
But what this guy said wasn’t human at all.
Uehara Naraku continued leisurely: "Hey, Doflamingo, both of us should be pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Why do you seem so happy today, and why do I feel so tired?"
"......"
Doflamingo still didn’t reply.
In fact, he really wanted to answer this question.
Uehara Naraku got it wrong. Doflamingo knows exactly who he’s manipulating—ordinary people from Dressrosa, the Tontatta Race, some ordinary Pirate Gangs on the sea, mostly only useful for labor.
As for Uehara Naraku, who is he manipulating?
Just with Kakuzu, Hidan, and Uchiha Sasuke, these people are now major figures on the sea.
Uehara Naraku glanced at the silent Doflamingo and couldn’t help but frown, then relaxed again: "Doflamingo, you have an incurable evil within you. Let me give you a chance to be a good person!"
"Hmm?"
Doflamingo’s gaze couldn’t help but shift. Shouldn’t this guy become human himself before telling others to be good?
Doflamingo suppressed his urge to curse, forcing a grin: "Hufufufu... what opportunity is that? Do you want to make me your pawn too?"
"You don’t want to?"
"No, I’m very willing."
Doflamingo’s smile struggled to stay on his face: "For me, becoming your pawn may be an honor... Can I know the relationship between Uchiha Sasuke and you?"
"Sasuke, huh..."
Uehara Naraku glanced at his system panel and then looked at Doflamingo in surprise: "Uchiha Sasuke is the younger brother of an old friend of mine... I misspoke; I should say he’s the younger brother of a pawn I once had.
As for Sasuke now, if you count it, he should rank among the top three subordinates I have!"
Besides Otsutsuki Kaguya and Uzumaki Naruto, who are still in the Naruto World, Uchiha Sasuke should indeed be the strongest.
Just as Doflamingo was still marveling at the strength of Uehara Naraku’s people, a golden light suddenly fell on him, and a familiar sound echoed in his ears!
Wait, his neck!
This bastard Uehara Naraku, didn’t he agree to his surrender!
After being resurrected, Doflamingo’s expression was somewhat on the verge of collapse: "Sir, I clearly agreed to become your pawn..."
"I have my judgment."
Uehara Naraku spread his hands and spoke softly: "I may not know what you’re really thinking... but I know you don’t genuinely want to serve me."
"......"
Doflamingo fell silent.
After a long time.
A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Doflamingo’s mouth: "Hufufufu... At least let me know what your goal is? Just like when we want to recruit companions or allies, we should know their purpose, right?"
Doflamingo’s expression gradually became solemn as he looked at Uehara Naraku, his voice somewhat serious: "So... what is your true purpose?"
"......"
After a moment of silence, Uehara Naraku suddenly spread his hands and calmly said: "This world is too peaceful, like a pool of stagnant water. I just want to make this era go wild..."
The next moment, the sea suddenly surged with a huge wave!
This wave instantly soared hundreds of meters high, a breathtaking sight!
If this wave sweeps over Dressrosa, the efforts to rebuild Dressrosa can be declared as directly obliterated!
This guy has the power to destroy a nation just by raising his hand!
Doflamingo’s expression changed dramatically as he watched the wave, his face uncertain, after a long time he gritted his teeth and said, "If your goal is to turn this world upside down, I will definitely help you!"
"Very well."
Uehara Naraku waved away the wave, and a black hole appeared in the center of his palm, from which he took out a Cloud Black Robe.
Uehara Naraku glanced at Doflamingo’s height again, then put the Cloud Black Robe back, pulled out a ring, and casually engraved the word "evil" on it, handing it to Doflamingo.
Doflamingo took the ring, looked at the word "evil" on it, and couldn’t help but chuckle, "Heh heh heh heh heh... what’s this, your symbol?"
"Just a tool for private contact when it’s inconvenient."
Uehara Naraku waved his hand and said softly, "If you see someone wearing the same ring in the future, whether at sea or in war, that is your ally. For now, you won’t see them..."
After Uehara Naraku finished, he continued softly, "Try to input Haki into the ring yourself! Perhaps I can receive the message you send..."
"Heh heh heh heh heh... looks very interesting."
Doflamingo reached out to put the ring on his hand and couldn’t help but say, "I also haven’t seen Mister Kakuzu and Uchiha Sasuke wearing rings..."
"There’s no need for that."
Uehara Naraku casually pulled out a scroll, revealing a coffin after unlocking it, and continued, "Here is the body of a person. If you encounter trouble in the future, take him out!"
This is a Reanimation Ninja.
Basically, every team has one.
Only the Immortal Duo and the Art Duo hold Sealing Scrolls, which contain the coffins of Reanimation Ninja.
This is the Reanimation Ninja bodyguard arranged by Uehara Naraku.
Among them, Kakuzu’s team has the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, mainly to help them escape; Sasori of the Red Sand’s Art Duo has the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, an all-around ninja.
Hoshigaki Kisame has the First Hokage Senju Hashirama.
Aside from his own Reanimation Ninja Legion, Yakushi Kabuto also has Uchiha Madara, reanimated by Uehara Naraku after the Fourth Ninja World War using the remnants of Otsutsuki Kaguya’s body.
Even Uchiha Sasuke has a scroll, and Uchiha Sasuke knows he holds a bastard named Uchiha Obito...
Doflamingo, as a new member, naturally received the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen as his Reanimation Ninja bodyguard, plus he doesn’t have Chakra nor is he skilled in Ninjutsu, so he can only place the coffin on his ship after returning.
Honestly, it’s quite ominous.
"Alright."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Doflamingo, then softly continued, "You are the person most familiar with the World Government and Navy. I will have a lot to ask of you in the future, but for now, help me solve one thing..."
"Oh?"
Doflamingo couldn’t help but look up, laughing, "Heh heh heh heh heh, quite curious... is there anything that adults can’t solve?"
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea are too troublesome."
Uehara Naraku looked at Doflamingo and softly said, "I really want one of my subordinates to replace Jinbe as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Do you think it’s feasible?"
"Is it that Hoshigaki Kisame gentleman?"
Doflamingo, understanding immediately, guessed the name, smiled, and suddenly said, "If you want to replace Jinbe, let that Kisame gentleman leave Baroque Works...
and then defeat Jinbe with a Fishman identity... After all, the World Government has long been dissatisfied with Jinbe colluding with Whitebeard!"
After saying this, Doflamingo grinned and continued, "Besides Mister Kisame, Mister Kakuzu also has a similar method...
If someone defeats that useless Seven Warlords Moonlight Moriah, Mister Kakuzu is now the most suited person on this sea to become a Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"I will consider..."
Uehara Naraku couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
This matter indeed exists as a possibility.
After discussing these things, Doflamingo smiled, looking at Uehara Naraku, and asked his last question.
"I’m very curious."
Doflamingo slowly clenched his fist and whispered, "So I want to know, what is the meaning of adults hiding their strength on this sea...
Based on my feelings about the adults today, it seems you could completely defeat a New World’s Four Emperors monster and replace them, thereby capturing more significant benefits!
At that time, this age will truly go berserk!"
"Doflamingo..."
Uehara Naraku squinted his eyes, smiling as he spoke, "How do you know... whether those people’s destinies are among those I control? I’ve already arranged for one of them..."
"..."
Doflamingo’s face froze.
This Celestial Yaksha of the sea suddenly laughed heartily!
At this moment, Doflamingo finally felt the presence of a true mastermind flair in Uehara Naraku!
This is the true mastermind of the sea!
