Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 595 - 482: New Waves Rising on the Sea

Kosori is the daughter of Kozuki Oden.

Regardless, her identity is too sensitive.

Now that the Akatsuki has occupied the entire Wano Country, they naturally cannot allow the retainers of the Kozuki Race to continue causing trouble. If they are genuinely willing to surrender, it would be beneficial for the Akatsuki as well...

And it would also be beneficial for Uehara Naraku’s future plans.

If Momonosuke used the power of the Time Fruit to come to this era, only to discover that his sister Kozuki Hiyori and his retainers had betrayed him...

At that time...

What would he think?

Currently, under the guidance of Uehara Naraku, Hatake Kakashi skillfully pressured Kosori and Denjiro into giving up all hope, forcing them to let the Akatsuki arrange their lives.

A large number of ninjas were scattered across various regions of Wano Country, assisting the civilians in quickly resuming production. According to Denjiro’s intelligence, they were secretly hunting down the samurai loyal to the Kozuki Race.

Additionally...

Uehara Naraku also provided intelligence on the CP Agents. The Ninja Alliance easily captured several infiltrating CP Agents and imprisoned them in Udon.

Wano Country silently restored peace.

After staying for a long time, Uehara Naraku finally decided to contact the Navy, and to his surprise, it was Yakushi Kabuto who answered his Radio Snail.

"Colonel Naraku."

On the other end of the Radio Snail, Yakushi Kabuto sounded as if he was handling official business, appearing somewhat inconvenienced: "We are offshore of Wano Country. Is there any progress with your mission?"

"..."

Uehara Naraku paused for a second before saying in a low voice, "There has been a coup in the entire Wano Country; the Akatsuki has seized control. Their leader is a woman named Otsutsuki Kaguya, who claims to be a deity descended upon Wano Country."

"..."

Yakushi Kabuto also fell silent.

Both of them knew the true leader of the Akatsuki.

To be honest, Yakushi Kabuto had long expected a change of power in Wano Country.

If Uehara Naraku wanted to comfortably act as a spy for the Navy in Wano Country, the best way would be to turn Wano Country into his own territory...

What was unexpected was that Uehara Naraku played out of the ordinary and directly sent out that terrifying woman, Otsutsuki Kaguya!

After contemplating for a while, Yakushi Kabuto continued, "I understand, Colonel Naraku. Any other intelligence? What’s the movement of the Hundred Beast Pirates?"

"The two sides have formed an alliance."

Uehara Naraku thought for a moment and provided another piece of intel: "Under Akatsuki, there is a ninja force tens of thousands strong spread across Wano Country. My work here is very difficult. Recently, they have been aggressively hunting members of the Kozuki Race and the World Government’s CP Agents..."

When Uehara Naraku reached this point, he said with some obscurity, "They are still continuing their search. I’m worried about exposure and request to go silent and maintain stealth..."

"Approved."

Yakushi Kabuto on the other end of the Radio Snail agreed without hesitation.

As long as Uehara Naraku claimed there was exposure risk on the Akatsuki’s territory, then there definitely was a risk.

This point doesn’t need questioning.

Offshore of Wano Country.

After hanging up the Radio Snail, Yakushi Kabuto glanced at Vice Admiral Tsuru and Admiral Momousagi beside him and softly said, "Senior Tsuru, Senior Momousagi, unless we are prepared for war, what we can do... perhaps is just to wait for the right moment."

"That’s right."

After pondering for a moment, Vice Admiral Tsuru said in a low voice, "According to the intelligence from the little fellow Uehara Naraku, the information provided is already enough. At least we know the identity of the enemy. The rest he’ll have to slowly investigate..."

"Mhm."

Yakushi Kabuto nodded, adjusted his glasses, and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps soon we will have a new opportunity, Kaido is a war maniac, especially now that he’s just gained a powerful ally.

Previously, he suffered a defeat in the war with the Whitebeard Pirates and will surely not give up easily, just as he also has a chance to confront Whitebeard.

According to our intelligence, a batch of pirates under Whitebeard continuously passed through Fishman Island. They likely want to have the former Seven Warlords of the Sea member Jinbe return to Fishman Island...

"You mean..."

Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Yakushi Kabuto in surprise, then slowly nodded, "When the Whitebeard Pirates attempt to retake Fishman Island, will Kaido truly show up?"

"The probability is very high."

Yakushi Kabuto slowly nodded and spoke softly, "As long as the Whitebeard Pirates take any action, with Kaido’s personality, he will certainly not let Whitebeard succeed easily..."

Especially...

With the Akatsuki standing behind Kaido!

Because of Uehara Naraku’s presence, the Akatsuki won’t have any allies, and Yakushi Kabuto can almost be certain that Kaido might have already become part of the Akatsuki!

Near the Akatsuki’s base, how could they tolerate a Four Emperors’ Pirate Gang!

Unless they belong to the Akatsuki.

On Ghost Island.

Uzumaki Naruto walked onto the pirate-filled island.

Due to Kaido joining the Akatsuki, the Hundred Beast Pirates had become the Akatsuki’s external armed force, and Uzumaki Naruto joining the Hundred Beast Pirates was considered a form of training.

Along the way, faced with pirates who all had fearsome appearances, Uzumaki Naruto was somewhat amazed, feeling the pirates looked absurdly remarkable!

They seemed to be randomly formed!

Seeing Uzumaki Naruto wandering on Ghost Island, Kaido’s gaze faintly turned fierce: "Those guys actually sent this brat over..."

"Hmm?"

Plague Queen looked at Uzumaki Naruto with some astonishment and couldn’t help but say in surprise, "It’s really that kid! Big brother, his power is very strong... I’ve always suspected he should have some kind of Mythical Fruit ability on him!"

"Hmph, that’s only natural..."

Kaido took a swig of alcohol and watched as Uzumaki Naruto approached, speaking in a slow, gruff voice: "That kid seems to have some status as well..."

Since Kaido joined the Akatsuki, he witnessed Uzumaki Naruto and Otsutsuki Kaguya interacting and heard their conversations.

That guy called Uzumaki Naruto...

Is actually Princess Kaguya’s grandson.

Damn it, what kind of situation is this!

No matter what, this is something Kaido can’t refuse.

Moreover, this silly-looking Uzumaki Naruto joining the Hundred Beast Pirates is definitely better than that murderous maniac Uchiha Obito!

To welcome Uzumaki Naruto, who was suspected to be a Mythical Fruit Ability User, Kaido held a banquet on Ghost Island, also to boost morale.

On the first day, everyone was quite happy.

On the second day, Kaido finally understood why Uzumaki Naruto joined the Hundred Beast Pirates — because Uzumaki Naruto wanted to train with him for a while, mainly to learn Three Haki.

Akatsuki members... are all lunatics, right?

Are these guys insulting people too much?

They actually dared to let Kaido, a Sea Emperor, guide a kid in learning the Three Haki, as if they thought he, one of the Four Emperors, had no temper!

Not to mention, do they really think Haki is that easy?

Haki needs to be awakened, not just taught, especially since only one in a million can have Supreme King Haki!

Uzumaki Naruto this brat really possesses...

This world is ridiculous, how can this silly-looking blond kid awaken Supreme King Haki? Even after Uzumaki Naruto awakened Observation Haki, his perception range exceeded Kaido’s!

Truly a complete monster!

Only Armament Haki presented some trouble.

After all, Armament Haki requires stamina and long-term battle training, and Kaido’s teaching methods were extremely brutal, as he simply found an uninhabited deserted island in the New World and had a taijutsu and Armament Haki fight with Uzumaki Naruto for ten days and nights...

In the beginning, Kaido indeed fought quite happily, Uzumaki Naruto was just a pure punching bag, until Uzumaki Naruto was forced to quickly awaken Armament Haki...

Then...

Kaido lost.

This year Kaido lost quite a few times.

Especially losing in the area he excelled at the most...

As the Four Emperor with the strongest recovery ability, Kaido always believed there was no one who could match him in endurance, and then he ran into Uzumaki Naruto, this monster...

In this world, monster is a complimentary term.

"Hmph, you young brats are truly terrifying!"

Kaido lay on the island looking at the sky, speaking in a muffled voice, "Now that your Armament Haki has just awakened, it’s even more than mine..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Uzumaki Naruto also lay on the ground, awkwardly scratching his head, "Kurama learned how to convert Chakra into Haki, and he can help provide Haki for me too!"

This is not Kaido’s fault.

After all, Uzumaki Naruto still has the Nine-tail as this cheat.

Uzumaki Naruto glanced at Kaido beside him and suddenly asked, "Kaido-san, I heard you’ve met Sasuke before..."

"That arrogant brat huh..."

"Hahaha, Sasuke that guy just has a bit of a rotten temper!"

"..."

The two of them were getting along quite well.

It’s certainly true that Uzumaki Naruto’s character is quite infectious.

Kaido also believed that if Uzumaki Naruto set out to sea, he also has the potential to become the Pirate King, his character holds the same innocence as Roger and Whitebeard...

If the Akatsuki didn’t appear in the world, and Kaido simply encountered Uzumaki Naruto, he would definitely make Uzumaki Naruto his subordinate, take him along to find the Grand Treasure, and do whatever it takes to recruit him.

Unfortunately...

The world has the Akatsuki.

Behind Uzumaki Naruto stands a god and a bunch of people.

While Kaido and Uzumaki Naruto were chatting about Uchiha Sasuke, the Whitebeard Pirates were discussing something big.

Just as Yakushi Kabuto predicted...

This Pirate Crew wants to return to Fishman Island.

After Uchiha Sasuke and Portgas D. Ace returned to the Whitebeard Sea Region, these people finally put helping Jinbe and the Fishman Pirates to reclaim Fishman Island on the agenda.

This matter cannot be changed no matter what.

If the Whitebeard’s flag could be pulled down casually, then they would certainly be unqualified as pirates!

For the Pirate Crew...

The flag that waves in the wind is their most cherished treasure!

Hoshigaki Kisame pulled down the Whitebeard Pirates’ flag and declared that Fishman Island is his territory, which makes their hostile state irreversible!

Not to mention...

No one in this sea can stop them!

Even fellow Four Emperor Pirate Crews like the Hundred Beast Pirates and Kaido are not their match, and even the Navy can only deal with them using despicable tactics...

Killed Hoshigaki Kisame...

And re-hoisted Whitebeard’s pirate flag back on Fishman Island!

Declared to the whole world that no one can invade Whitebeard Pirates’ territory, this is the prestige of the world’s strongest Pirate Crew!
