Chapter 178 - 178: The New Members Of Akatsuki!
The central tower.
In Nagato's laboratory.
Uehara's ninja bag is like a treasure chest, from which a series of Hashirama Cells and scroll full of the experimental equipment were successively taken out, one by one.
"This is the Hashirama cells and the rest are experimental equipment."
Uehara patted his palm and said softly: "I emptied Orochimaru's base in Otogakure. I brought them back from there to build a biological science laboratory in the village."
"Don't talk about this yet."
Nagato shook his head and lowered his head to think for a while. He hesitatingly asked: "Um... Naraku, have you had a girl you like recently?"
"Ok?"
Uehara glanced at Nagato in surprise and raised his eyebrow suspiciously: "Why did you suddenly ask?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Nagato covered his lips and coughed a few times. He lowered his head and said: "I saw through Pain's eyes that you handed your umbrella to a girl, but that girl seems to be very young. This kind of thing is wrong... "
"Hey hey hey, what do you mean!"
Uehara leaned against the table with a dissatisfied face: "I worked so hard to find materials that can heal you. An you are asking me about this? You don't care about your body and care about some messy things?"
"That's not it."
Nagato shook his head and quickly skipped the topic: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, first congratulations on becoming an official member of Akatsuki!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Uehara laughed from ear to ear and waved his hand: "I didn't expect that Konan-sensei would suddenly agree but I will need to leave here half a month later to do a tasks. I will help you in that time in your experiment."
"Okay."
Nagato nodded and blinked.
The reason why Konan agreed isn't it because of him persuading her all the time?
This little guy has grown up but he doesn't even know whose side he is. Have you forgotten that we belong to the same camp?
Nagato and Uehara have a unique way of getting along with each other. They are fifteen years apart. They are like elders and juniors, but also like good friends.
In the past, Nagato was still manipulating Tendo Pain to point fingers at Uehara and was extremely dissatisfied at him. But since killing Hanzo a few years ago his heart knot seemed to be untied and he started to care about this little guy silently.
Half a month later.
The cultivation of Hashirama Cells is fast.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be transplanted directly on Nagato's body, so Karin became the first beneficiary.
According to the well-known conclusions in the Ninja world, the Uzumaki and Senju clan are distant relatives and there is a certain connection in their blood. The chakras and physical strength of the two clans are very abundant.
Therefore, the Uzumaki clan is also the most suitable for transplanting Hashirama Cell.
Karin has long been abuse by the ninjas of the grass, and transplanting Hashirama Cells for her is also beneficial. It can also increase her strength, lest she only becomes a mobile blood pack in Akatsuki's organization.
On the experimental platform in Amegakure.
The transplantation of the Hashirama Cell was presided over by Pain and Uehara was watching by the side planning to cut off the place where the Hashirama Cell was in case of an accident, then use the Astral infusion to save her life.
Fortunately, the transplantation was considered successful.
It is a pity that Mokuton has not been able to awaken.
And also a face grew on her shoulders.
"What's happening here?"
Pain's Rinnegan was a little dazed. He stared at the face that grew on Karin's shoulder. There should be no mistakes in his operation!
Uehara rubbed his forehead and whispered: "Maybe the Hashirama Cells are too pure. Otherwise, do another operation?"
"No need to."
Pain shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Since the experiment is successful, it proves that it works. How do you feel?"
"Nothing..."
Karin slowly sat up and clenched her fists. She then whispered softly: "No, the chakra in my body has increased a lot, and the strength of my body has also increased a lot."
After speaking, Karin glanced at her left arm subconsciously: "It's just that this face feels a little weird..."
"This is the face of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama."
Uehara knocked on that face and said indifferently: "It's okay, this is a normal reaction of transplanting Hashirama Cells. After all, you use other people's cells. Aren't they allowed to leave a mark on the body?"
Karin: "..."
Pain: "..."
What a mess is this.
Now that the operation is successful, the transplant operation on Nagato's body can also be performed. It is still performed by Tendo Pain.
Essentially, you operate on yourself.
I don't know what it feels like.
Uehara intends to go back and ask Kabuto. Anyway, Kabuto will transplant Sharingan and Hashirama Cells on his own.
Nagato's surgery is more troublesome.
His operation requires the use of Hashirama Cell to grow two legs in advance and then transplant these legs on his body.
Nagato lying on the operating table feels the weight brought by the Hashirama Cells. His body gradually became full of vitality. Obviously, the effect of his transplantation was far better than that of Karin.
"I want to transplant more."
Nagato frowned and manipulated Tendo Pain to ask for another Hashirama Cell. He thought he might need more Hashirama Cells.
If there is too much, he can even fully exert the power of Rinnegan.
"No way."
Uehara stopped Pain and looked at Nagato on the operating table. He said solemnly: "You can't transplant too much, you can only follow the amount of Karin transplantation."
Nagato is not clear about the truth, but Uehara is clearer.
The reason why Nagato can accommodate enough Hashirama Cell is that he has Rinnigan which can suppress all power.
However, these eyes were not owned by Nagato but belonged to Uchiha Madara.
What's more, Uchiha Madara is almost certain to be resurrected in the Ninja World under the control of the two dark hands behind the scene Uehara Naraku and Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu is for its mother.
Uehara is for the main mission progress.
At this time, if Nagato is rushed to transplant too many Hashirama cells, it will be very detrimental to the future of Nagato.
Nagato has one advantage, that is, being able to listen to others.
This is also his shortcoming. When someone persuaded him, he listened.
Uehara tilted his head and watched Nagato sit back in the wheelchair. He shook his head slightly and said: "You are always accustomed to listening to persuasion. You need to change it in the future, you can't always be persuaded by others."
Nagato frowned and thought for a while. He then climbed back to the operating table again: "Then I will transplant Hashirama Cells now..."
"Wait, I didn't mean that!"
Uehara shook his head hurriedly and forced him into the wheelchair: "From now on, you can only listen to what I and Konan-sensei said and don't listen to what other people say, especially to a little yellow hair like Deidara. …"
"..."
Nagato couldn't help but glare at him. After a while, he suddenly pushed Uehara away and tried to stand up step by step.
Although Nagato walked a bit staggering, he was still walking step by step.
Nagato walked step by step with some surprises. He raised his head to looked at Uehara and said: "Uehara, I can stand up again..."
With the help of Hashirama Cell, Nagato could finally stand up again but his calf had a face of Hashirama.
The First Hokage was too shameless!
Uehara sat down the trembling Nagato and gave him a silent look: "Okay, I see it, I see it, but first put your pants on!"
Nagato: "..."
What weird words to say!
If Konan heard it, I don't know what she would think of them!
But it is indeed good news that Nagato can stand up and walk. After a simple exercise, he will soon be able to resume normal actions again.
Just as Nagato was about to tell Konan in person, Uehara suddenly grabbed Nagato and muttered something. The two decided to conceal this news for a while.
Ten days later.
Uehara can finally put on Akatsuki's official uniform and also received a hood and hat to hide his identity. Konan also restricted him from using his ninjutsu in battle.
Because the future leader of Amegakure, before Akatsuki's plan is successful, he must not have any connection with the Akatsuki organization.
This is what Uehara thinks too.
Uehara touched the black robe with a red cloud printed on his body, feeling a little happy.
[Side mission: Become an official member of Akatsuki Organization and put on their uniform (1/1). The mission has been completed and the reward is an S-class missing-nin certification.]
[S-Class Missing-nin Certification: Increases Life energy by 10,000 points, Chakra energy by 10,000 points, Natural energy by 10,000 points, Life energy recovery rate by 50%, Chakra energy recovery rate by 50%, and natural energy extraction rate by 50%.]
After seeing the rewards on the system panel, Uehara's eyes were obviously a little bit resentful. If he was recognized as an official member by Konan after joining Akatsuki in the past, he would have become a Kage-level powerhouse!
Before Uehara get Dark Harvest, his attribute points were only equal to the reward for wearing this black robe!
Now that Uehara's various attribute points have exceeded 50,000 points, it is obviously impossible to have too much excitement.
"All right."
Konan stretched out her palm to help Uehara tidy up his clothes, and smiled at him. She said: "Naraku, this time I will be your teammate and go out with you to perform missions. We haven't performed missions together for a long time. Are you unhappy? "
"Happy…"
The corner of Uehara's eyes twitched. He glanced at the person behind them and said solemnly: "But, Sensei, I have found a new teammate for myself..."
"What?"
Konan couldn't help but raised her head and glanced at him with some surprise: "Do you want that kid Uchiha Sasuke to be your teammate?"
Konan shook her head and quickly said: "I can't agree to this matter. This mission is very dangerous. Someone must protect you."
"No, his new teammate is an old member of the organization."
Nagato wore the same black robe and lifted the hat on his head. He stood beside them and said: "I will be his teammate"
"Nagato..."
Konan looked at Nagato who came to them with a shocked face and couldn't help covering her lips. There were faint tears in her eyes: "You... you can stand up?"
There were many things that Konan was guilty of back then.
In addition to many members who died in battle, Nagato's legs were disabled.
Suddenly seeing Nagato walking in front of her. Konan stepped back subconsciously, somewhat not believing everything in front of her.
"Cough cough cough..."
Uehara reached out to help Konan wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. He holds her cheeks and comforts her softly: "In fact, ten days ago, Nagato-sama was able to stand up after the operation was successful. But I think that we should give you a surprise!"
"Bastard!"
"Okay, okay, sensei..."
Nagato watched them snicker by the side.
After a while, Konan suddenly said: "So, you two have discussed it a long time ago to let me stay in the village while you two will go out and perform the task together?"
"Yes!"
Uehara glanced at Nagato, and the two nodded their heads as if for granted: "Ten days ago, the two of us made a decision. This time we will go out on the mission together."
"Let's go."
Uehara grabbed Nagato's shoulders and waved at Konan: "Sensei, I and Nagato-sama are leaving first! We have to go to the organization base to gather!"
After speaking, the two of them didn't dare to look at Konan's dumbfounded expression and walked out of Amegakure side by side.
But Nagato's identity can be easily exposed.
After all, any members of the group will not maintain a friendly relationship on the surface like Uehara and Nagato.
Nagato looked at Uehara and suddenly said curiously: "By the way, have you thought about the code names of the two of us in the organization?"
"Not ready yet."
Uehara shook his head and stroked his chin: "What do you think of the red-haired and black-haired Shinigami?"
"Not very good…"
Nagato glanced at Uehara inexplicably.
Uehara scratched his chin and made a new suggestion: "What about the red hair and the night demon?"
"Not so much..."
"What about red hair and night angel?"
"What's a mess, can't you pass the threshold of red hair?"
"Then Little Red Riding Hood and Black Emperor?"
"Can't it be normal?"
"Hey hey hey, if such a domineering name will not work. Should I be called Black Dog?"
"..."
The two murmured all the way to Akatsuki's base. These two guys wearing hats attracted the attention of all the members and looked at them curiously.
Nagato naturally needs to hide his identity.
Uehara didn't have this need at all. He just lifted his hat showing a smirk: "From today on senpai, please give me your advice. By the way, please call me by my codename."
"Oh, right."
Uehara slowly looked at everyone present and his voice gradually became a little cold: "When we are doing the mission call me with my codename Byakuren. Remember not to call the wrong name, otherwise, I'll kill you!"
"Ho ho ho..."
The others didn't say anything. After Kisame suddenly laughed a few times, he whispered softly: "Our First Mizukage-sama name seems to be Byakuren?"
Uehara's expression crumbled in an instant and then he said indifferently: "Then you can call me green tea in the future. Standing next to me, call him black tea!"
Nagato: "..."
Don't give him such a random codename at will!
Sure enough, Uehara's actions immediately aroused Deidara's dissatisfaction: "Hey, kid, your so casual. Do you think you are going to have an afternoon tea in the mission?"
"With our strength..."
Uehara clasped Nagato's shoulders and squinted at the people present: "Actually, there is no difference between performing a mission and having afternoon tea. Am I you right, black tea?"
"Correct…"
Nagato nodded subconsciously.
The next moment Nagato's expression hidden under the hat changed instantly. Damn! Why did he agree with what Uehara codename to him!
It's not that he himself is not good at giving names!
After all, he personally picked up all Akatsuki's member codes!
Kakuzu frowned and said coldly: "Little kid, being an official member does not mean that you are also qualified to be so arrogant!"
Uehara rubbed his forehead and said softly; "Quick, black tea, show them a hand!"
"..."
Nagato glanced at Uehara speechlessly. Of course, Nagato wouldn't choose to show it to everyone because he had a better solution.
"Okay, don't argue."
Under the control of Nagato, Tendo Pain said: "They are Akatsuki's new members. Uehara codenamed Higashi-kun (east) and the other new member codenamed is Giyo (ritual)..."
Uehara immediately raised his hand and said loudly; "Pain-sama, I think my teammates don't like this code very much!"
Numerous members cast a surprised look at Uehara. Apparently, it was the first time they saw someone daring to oppose Pain's opinion.
What lessons will Uehara learn?
Instead of teaching him Pain retorted: "No, he likes it very much. I told him about this before."
"..."
Uehara closed his mouth in surprise.
Nagato and Pain's fingers were clenching subconsciously. He really regretted supporting Uehara to become an official member. Now he wants to expel Uehara.
This kid is too naughty!
It's just that there are some things to be said before they move.
Pain looked at everyone present and continued in a deep voice: "In addition, if anyone dared to disclose the information of the organization members to the outside world, they will be hunted and killed!"
Obviously, this point is emphasized for the sake of Uehara.
Pain looked at the expressions of everyone present and nodded. He said seriously: "This time, the specific actions of the mission will be taken care of by Uehara!
After all, Uehara single-handedly destroyed Kusagakure resulting in the confrontation between Iwa and Konoha. "
After hearing what Pain said, the faces of every one were different.
There are indeed many people present who have attacked a country and destroyed a village, but the medium-sized Ninja Village Kusagakure in addition to the five major countries can also rank at the forefront in combat power.
If you want to destroy Kusagakure, it will not be that simple.
The intern kid has always been this strong, but no one has ever known how strong he is. This time, maybe they can see...
Uehara twisted his wrist and looked at the different expressions of everyone present. He raised the corners of his mouth and said: "Please take care of me on this mission senpai!"
