Behind the Scenes from Naruto

Chapter 1 - 1: Uehara Naraku

In a dark cave.

The sound of water dripping faintly can be heard.

Then suddenly a sound of footstep splashing water appeared, echoing in this secluded cave.

A man and woman hidden in this cave suddenly became vigilant.

"Pain, someone coming!"

The woman frowned her brows, her palms instantly turned into sheets of origami, and the chakra attached to it looked unusually sharp.

Her voice was still calm: "Except for the two of us, only Madara and Juzo knows this place... are they here? "

"No, it's a different ninja."

The man lift his head, staring at the entrance of the cave with a pair of weird eyes, looking at the figure that appeared, his voice sounded a bit cold and ruthless:

"Konan, go kill him!"

Even if their old friend died twelve years ago, and abandoned the idea of ??the first generation of Akatsuki here, it does not mean that they are willing to see a stranger enter the place their old friend once live.

Killing the strange ninja who set foot in this undefiled land. Whether it is a man or a woman, there is no guilt in his heart.

They are used to killing.

"Excuse me, is this... the base of Akatsuki?"

Before they could do anything, the figure that appeared in the cave took the lead to speak to the man and woman standing in the cave:

"I am the son of Uehara Hatsu, Uehara Naraku. He told my mother twelve years ago that he joined an organization named Akatsuki to follow Master Yahiko, but he never came back since then."

"..."

The woman's motion of throwing the paper shuriken stopped, even the expression on the man's face was a little stiff when they heard a unfamiliar name.

No, or rather a familiar name.

Familiar to women at least.

Because that ninja named Uehara Hatsu died in the enemy sword in order to protect her. It was a meaningless sacrifice.

As the figure at the entrance of the cave gradually walked in, the duo could clearly see the appearance of the incoming person.

This is a teenager with a crooked headband. He is wearing a large-sleeved robe. Obviously, this dress is a bit large for his age.

The uniforms of the first generation of Akatsuki now seem to look a bit crude, because, at that time, Akatsuki was really too poor.

However, I still miss it involuntarily.

"Are you the son of Uehara Hatsu?"

The man rolled his weird eyes and stared at the boy in front of him closely. He looked at the boy with a similar appearance to his father, and said in a deep voice, "There has never been such a person in our organization. get lost!"

"..."

The woman opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, only to see the man shook his head slightly.

The woman bit her lip and fell silent after that.

The young man held a shuriken tightly in his hand, seeming to pretend to be calm, but when he stopped and wanted to turn around and leave. He inadvertently saw the appearance of the man and woman, he suddenly put the shuriken away and he took out something in his pocket.

The man and the woman in the cave looked at each other, their expressions were a little surprised and when they becoming more vigilant, the boy took out a photo.

"..."

The boy lowered his head and looked at the photo.

He raised his head again and looked at the man and the woman.

Then, the young man held up the photo at them and said softly: "Excuse me, are you Konan-sama and Yahiko-sama?"

"..."

The man and the woman fell silent.

That photo was the only photo taken by the first generation of Akatsuki, and it lacked many latecomers.

At that time, because everyone thought Akatsuki was a peaceful organization, they did not pay much attention to the information of members, and many people sent it to their families.

And the Yahiko mentioned by this boy is the first leader of Akatsuki's organization, and it is also the source of the two people's mood becoming more and more depressed.

The man and Yahiko look exactly the same because the man's body was originally Yahiko's corpse, and he was made into a powerful puppet.

The person controlling the puppet is the red-haired boy in the photo.

"Yahiko-sama doesn't look like this, it was slightly different."

The young man said in a whisper, "Although Ms. Konan is a bit older, I can still see the outline of her youth..."

"..."

The woman's face turned black.

The man calmly stared at the young man in front of him, and suddenly said, "Your father is dead. He died in battle twelve years ago. Now I have forgotten his name. The weak are not worth remembering."

"Pain!"

Panic flashed across the woman's face!

In any case, she did not expect that man would tell the truth in such a straightforward manner, at least this was after all their old friends!

The boy's face drooped, and he forcibly retorted: "Since you don't remember the name, why did you say he died?"

"Because..."

The man looked at the appearance of the boy, and said coldly: "Twelve years ago, only two people in the entire Akatsuki organization survived."

"...he could survive!"

The woman said aloud suddenly, and continued to add: "If it weren't for me, many people would have survived."

"..."

The man by her side seemed to want to say something to comfort her, but he just stopped and look at the woman's downcast face.

"I know."

The look of the young man calms down in an instant, and he waved his hand indifferently: "Since he was dead twelve years ago, then I won't blame him."

After finished speaking, the boy turned and left.

However, Uehara Naraku has not taken two steps yet, a strange gravitational pulled him back, and the man suddenly grabbed his collar with his palm!

"Although your father does not have much power, he is also a ninja worthy of admiration. Do you have no feelings for him?"

"Pain, let him go!"

The woman stretched out her palm anxiously and grabbed the man's arm, trying to make him loosen the boy's collar.

Uehara pulled Pain's hand, looked up at the man's weird eyes, and a touch of mockery flashed across his face: "I'm so sorry, I was only born twelve years ago, except for this photo and dress, I don't have any impression of him."

From his mouth, the image of a man who abandons his wife and children jumps out.

Anyway, the ninja named Uehara Hatsu, leaving his wife and newborn son after giving birth to follow an inexplicable Akatsuki organization sounds a bit weird.

"…Sorry."

The woman whispered an apology next to her.

Konan's eyes are moist. Twelve years ago, they were only fifteen years old and couldn't understand how much sacrifice the group of ninjas who followed them paid.

Now they know below the tip of the iceberg.

"There is no need to apologize, it is his choice."

The boy shook his head, pulled away from the man's hand, and whispered softly: "I came to find Akatsuki's base because before my mother died, I always wanted to know about him."

Konan looked at the boy and said nervously: "Your parents have already passed away, then...where are you going now?"

"Of course, I going to Hanzo-sama!"

Uehara Naraku spread her hands and explained: "In the past few months, I have been a wandering ninja, inquiring about Akatsuki's news and father's trail... Now that I have fulfilled my wish, of course, I will go to Hanzo-sama and become an official ninja."

"..."

Pain and Konan looked at each other, a descendant of a member of the first Akatsuki organization, is going to go to his murderer?

This kid named Uehara Naraku doesn't know the truth. How can people who know the truth, especially Konan, tolerate this happening?

"No way."

Konan reached out and grabbed his shoulders, squatted in front of him with a cold expression: "Your father Uehara has joined Akatsuki, so his child is also a member of the organization!"

"Your organization... why is it a bit like an MLM den!"

Uehara Naraku looked at Konan and Pain back and forth he couldn't help blinking his eyes and subconsciously spit out.

But...

He finally achieved his true goal.

There was a "ding" sound inside his head.
