Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 10 From today onwards, you will be my personal bodyguard.

That's how cruel the rules are in the ninja world.

Even a child is a tool of the ninja.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, it was not uncommon for various ninja villages to send even six-year-old children to the battlefield in order to win the war.

The only thing that's a bit unscrupulous...

It's roughly about Naruto Uzumaki's parents being heroes.

Naruto Uzumaki's father was Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, and his mother was Kushina Uzumaki, the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha.

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, this couple sacrificed themselves to protect Konoha.

The couple probably thought the village would take care of their orphans.

After all, Minato Namikaze was the Fourth Hokage, and he had always been close to the Third Hokage. Moreover, he had many comrades-in-arms in the village over the years.

The couple probably thought that Konoha would protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki well, after all, Kushina Uzumaki was the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Konoha had always protected Kushina Uzumaki well, and Kushina Uzumaki had hardly encountered any discrimination or exclusion.

In any case, they are already dead.

There was only one child named Naruto Uzumaki, facing the world alone, facing the dangers that might come at any moment.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."

"The most ferocious tailed beast in the world..."

"It is also the most powerful weapon of war in the world!"

Danzo Shimura put down the list of new students in his hand and muttered coldly to himself, "If Wood Release can suppress the Nine-Tails... then we can implement the true Nine-Tails Jinchuriki training plan and forge the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki into Konoha's sharpest weapon!"

Danzo Shimura's ideals were very simple.

First, he could become Hokage and reach the pinnacle of his life; second, he could unify the ninja world through Konoha and reach the top of the ninja world.

What a pity.

Neither of his ideals was realized; in fact, as Shimura Danzo grew older, both ideals were on the verge of becoming mere dreams.

However, great ideals always require taking the first step. Shimura Danzo thought of the Akihara Kagura he had brought back from Orochimaru, and his heart couldn't help but burn with excitement!

If this child's Wood Release talent is strong enough, let him find an opportunity to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi and help him become Hokage; then use this child's Wood Release to hone the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki into a weapon of war, use the power of the Nine-Tails to launch the Shinobi World War, and unify the Shinobi World!

just now…

It's time to take the first step towards my dream!

The first step is to test Akihara Kagura's Wood Release talent!

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Danzo Shimura called for someone to come in.

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Aburame Ryoma and Akihara Kagura walked in.

Danzo Shimura looked up and saw that Ryoma Aburame's shoulder was wrapped in bandages. He frowned instinctively: "Ryoma, are you injured?"

"This is…"

Aburame Ryoma hesitated, unsure of what to say.

"I'm the one who injured him."

Kagura Akihara interrupted Ryoma Aburame, saying, "The room my senior arranged for me wasn't comfortable, so he helped me loosen my bones, and I helped him by drawing blood."

"..."

Aburame Ryoma couldn't help but glance at her.

"..."

Danzo Shimura looked somewhat displeased.

"First."

"Don't be greedy for momentary pleasure."

After giving a stern reprimand, Shimura Danzo suddenly seemed to remember something and abruptly asked, "You two had a private argument...who won?"

"My senior helped me get a more comfortable room."

After finishing her sentence, Akihara Kagura continued nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury, it won't kill me. I wanted to see Lord Danzo as soon as possible, but you insisted on getting it bandaged first..."

"..."

Ryoma Aburame's eye twitched.

Is this kid even speaking human language?

While it's certainly more important to get to see Lord Danzo quickly, there's no particularly important mission today. Besides, they were just looking for bandages to fix their wounds on the way here, so there's nothing wrong with that!

"..."

Danzo Shimura sensed something was off.

Theoretically speaking, Aburame Ryoma isn't really at fault, but what Akihara Kagura said makes sense—he didn't want to come see her earlier because he was trying to bandage his wounds…

Roots…

Everything should be based on one's own will.

Root members…

They've always been willing to risk their lives for their missions...

Has Aburame Ryoma, who has always been her bodyguard, become so depraved that he can't even tolerate the slightest injury?

wrong!

That's not the point!

The important thing is that this little guy beat Aburame Ryoma!

Even though Ryoma Aburame wasn't well-known and was only good at infiltrating and stealing information, he was still a seasoned Konoha Jonin, yet he lost to a little kid!

A ripple of emotion stirred within Shimura Danzo. His gaze was fixed on the boy before him. He stood up as if to say something, but then abruptly stopped.

"Ryoma, go to the Land of Water."

"Perhaps you're too comfortable around me."

"So much so that you've forgotten that ninjas are not afraid of sacrifice."

Danzo Shimura turned to Ryoma Aburame and ordered in a deep voice, "I remember you are the most skilled infiltration and espionage in Root. Go and investigate the Land of Water and find out what conspiracy Kirigakure is hiding."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

After accepting the mission, Aburame Ryoma looked up again, wanting to explain to Shimura Danzo that he was not that kind of person at all.

"I…"

"Lord Danzo!"

Kagura Akihara interrupted Ryoma Aburame, saying, "Why don't you give me this task? I haven't done anything for Lord Danzo yet!"

"Need not."

Danzo Shimura shook his head and continued, "This mission is too dangerous, and it's too early for you. Your Wood Release bloodline limit is more important than anyone else's..."

"Since you were able to defeat Ryoma, it proves that your strength has surpassed his. For the time being, you will serve as my personal attendant and stay by my side. I will also teach you the inheritance of the Will of Root..."

As he spoke, Shimura Danzo slowly stood up, using the table for support: "Come with me to the training grounds. I'll teach you a new Wood Release ninjutsu..."

"Yes."

Akihara Kagura quickly followed.

"..."

Ryoma Aburame stood at the door, watching the departing figures of the old man and the young man, a look of confusion in his eyes.

In the middle of this...

Has something changed?

Forget it.

Ryoma Aburame stopped thinking about it.

Once he returns from his mission in the Land of Water, time will prove everything. Lord Danzo will realize that he was never the kind of ninja who was afraid of death.

On the covered bridge.

The boy followed the old man with a calm and focused expression.

Even though the Root ninjas always obeyed Shimura Danzo's will, they were ultimately not the same person, and they would go astray because of differences in their words.

It was destined to be this way from the very beginning.

Because Danzo Shimura never fully trusted the members of Root, otherwise he wouldn't have planted the "Sign of the Tongue's Curse" on their tongues to prevent them from leaking information.
