Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 104 Uchiha Itachi, let's see if anyone can stop me from killing you!

"Dean, this is not your fault."

Kabuto the Pharmacist was still earnestly comforting his hospital director.

From any perspective, this is not the dean's fault.

Because Orochimaru kidnapped Akihara Kagura, and because Shimura Danzo deliberately concealed the fact that Akihara Kagura was still alive, they thought Akihara Kagura was dead and slowly forgot about this child from the orphanage, making the child mistakenly believe that they had abandoned him.

"But…"

"That child..."

Pharmacist Nono pressed her hand to her chest, heartache and guilt choking her, the pain leaving her mind blank and barely able to speak.

Yakushi Nonou recalled that when she met Akihara Kagura, she not only didn't recognize the child, but she didn't even remember his name, and even stabbed him with a kunai... but the child was still smiling and comforting her that it was okay.

"How could I forget my own child..."

Pharmacist Nonou has always treated the children adopted from the orphanage as her own, remembering each child's name and story.

Only…

I forgot about Akihara Kagura.

Regardless of whether it was Danzo Shimura or Orochimaru, that's not a reason for her to forget her child, even if she believed the child was dead...

Even Kabuto remembered…

Even Yakushi Kabuto remembered Akihara Kagura.

How could the director of an orphanage forget about her own children?

"Dean!"

Kabuto shook Nonou Yakushi's shoulder, trying to bring his dean back to his senses, and said in a deep voice, "This is not the time to talk about these things. Our crisis is not over yet!"

"Kagura hates that we forgot him. He and Shimura Danzo conspired to make us kill each other. He's in the Land of Earth, and he definitely won't let us go!"

As Kabuto spoke, he glanced around and continued, "Kagura might be arriving here soon, or she might already be nearby. We must leave immediately..."

"..."

In a crevice of a rock.

Uchiha Itachi had been hiding here, recalling everything that had happened. He slowly closed his eyes; the boy now knew the true purpose of his test.

Danzo Shimura wanted him to kill two intelligence officers who were about to defect: Kabuto Yakushi and Nonou Yakushi…

He personally delivered the two self-destructive mission scrolls to Kabuto and Nono, stating that his assessment mission was to bring this conspiracy and tragedy to a close.

Akihara Kagura…

Why does this happen every time intelligence is transmitted?

If, as Yakushi Kabuto said, Akihara Kagura hated that they had forgotten her, and thus conspired with Shimura Danzo to kill them, was Akihara Kagura's appearance each time they were passing on information actually to monitor his assessment mission?

If, as Kakashi Hatake said, Kagura Akihara's goal was to get them to leave Root, then why would they want to leave Root?

Itachi Uchiha couldn't understand it.

Perhaps he doesn't need to think about these things at all.

Uchiha Itachi recalled the moment he parted ways with Akihara Kagura.

Regardless of whether Akihara Kagura was there to spy on him, Uchiha Itachi knew he had no other choice. Now all he had to do was to keep going!

Even if…

Kill these two companions!

For the mission, for Konoha, we will spare no expense!

Danzo Shimura, a high-ranking official in Konoha, wanted to eliminate these two intelligence officers who were about to defect. This was an order from his superiors, and it was a necessary sacrifice!

A cat-face mask was in his hand.

Uchiha Itachi slowly reached out and put on the cat-face mask, hiding his true face beneath it, just like other Root ninjas on missions.

Two shuriken flew toward Kabuto Yakushi and Nono Yakushi!

"There are enemies!"

The sound immediately caught Kabuto's attention. He quickly pulled Nono Yakushi away and hid behind a rock!

however…

It's no use!

Ding-dong!

The sound of the shuriken clashing was crisp!

Itachi Uchiha raised his hand and flung out two more shuriken, which struck the two shuriken in front of him and changed their direction!

Four shuriken flew toward the two people behind the rock!

Itachi Uchiha's shuriken throwing technique was unparalleled. Apart from Shisui Uchiha, who had always taught him, no one in Konoha or even the ninja world could be more skilled than him!

"What?"

Kabuto Yakushi stared in surprise at the four shuriken flying towards him!

Even though Kabuto Yakushi had carried out so many spy missions and seen so many ninjas, he was still somewhat amazed by the opponent's attack that bypassed his blind spot!

This is not over yet!

Uchiha Itachi swiftly clasped his hands together and formed hand seals!

"Sword Shadow Clone Technique!"

This is a technique that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, specially taught Itachi as a reward after he returned from a mission in Kirigakure!

A dense swarm of shuriken flew down toward the spot where Kabuto and Nono were hiding!

"Walk!"

Kabuto shoved Nono Yakushi aside, raising a ball of emerald green chakra scalpel in his hand to block the incoming shuriken as much as possible!

however…

Ultimately, there was nothing they could do!

Kabuto could only try his best to avoid vital points. In order to protect Nono Yakushi, he was also hit by a shuriken in his arm, shoulder and leg!

Yakushi Nonou also had a shuriken in her shoulder!

"pocket!"

Ignoring her own injuries, Yakushi Nonou quickly conjured a ball of chakra in her palm and carefully placed it on Yakushi Kabuto's wound, healing it.

"It's too late..."

Kabuto slowly shook his head, sighed inwardly, and stepped out from behind the rock. Looking at the masked boy in the distance, he loudly questioned, "Akihara Kagura, you won't even spare the headmaster?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha did not respond.

As a ninja who walks in the shadows, one doesn't need to waste words when carrying out missions, and one can't even reveal one's identity.

Uchiha Itachi calmly drew his ninja sword and rushed towards Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonou. Now, his mind was only on the mission objective!

"Is this how this guy looks when he kills someone?"

Kabuto Yakushi had never witnessed Akihara Kagura kill anyone, but he knew that Akihara Kagura would never hesitate to kill, because that guy's personality was always extreme!

Kabuto could only push the dean aside, his palm gleaming with emerald green chakra scalpel as he faced the masked boy charging towards him!

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle!

"Your swordsmanship is truly excellent..."

Kabuto Yakushi had only exchanged a few blows with Itachi Uchiha when he was quickly slashed due to his still-healing wounds. He could only try his best to avoid vital points!

"..."

Itachi Uchiha still did not answer.

The masked boy simply brandished his ninja sword with unwavering determination in his eyes!

Taking advantage of the gap in Kabuto's defense due to his weakened state, Itachi Uchiha swiftly and decisively slashed Kabuto's arm, leaving a long wound!

"This guy..."

Looking at the long wound on his arm, Kabuto Yakushi felt a pang of regret for not having properly trained in swordsmanship. His chakra scalpel was far too easily countered by a master swordsman!

"pocket…"

Yakushi Nonou tried to rush over quickly.

"Don't come any closer!"

Kabuto Yakushi stopped Nono Yakushi, his gaze still fixed on the masked boy before him, and said softly, "This is a battle between him and me. I admit that you were jealous because you received too much favoritism from the headmaster, but you should know that this is not the headmaster's fault..."

"..."

Through his mask, Itachi Uchiha looked at Kabuto Yakushi in front of him, calmly raised his ninja sword, and slashed at his target once again!

"Why aren't you saying anything!"

Kabuto Yakushi raised his chakra scalpel to block the ninja sword's edge, then continued, looking disheveled, "Akihara Kagura, are you enraged because your plot to manipulate me and the headmaster into killing each other was thwarted?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha swung his ninja sword again.

Although Kabuto Yakushi always believed that Akihara Kagura wanted to kill him, he couldn't very well explain that it was a misunderstanding, since he was the one who was actually carrying out the mission!

Not only the Yakushi Kabuto in front of us…

Even the pharmacist Nono, who is behind him, will not be spared.

However, Itachi Uchiha is having some trouble quickly dealing with Kabuto Yakushi. This guy's chakra scalpel is very strange, and he almost hurt himself several times by going over the blade. Exposing his Sharingan might make it easier to end the battle.

While continuing to fight Kabuto Yakushi with his ninja sword, Itachi Uchiha kept an eye on Nono Yakushi, who was clutching her shoulder, and also kept an eye on Nono Yakushi, who might escape.

"..."

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha was somewhat distracted.

The boy recalled his first encounter with Root, when he thought he had stopped Root from killing his fellow village ninjas. However, he never expected that the Root ninjas would eventually find an opportunity in the battle to kill their target with shuriken.

Time has passed and circumstances have changed.

Now I've become that kind of person myself.

Uchiha Itachi swiftly closed in, closing in on Yakushi Kabuto!

This move is clearly more advantageous for Kabuto Yakushi's chakra scalpel in battle!

Taking advantage of the cover of sight, Itachi Uchiha quickly pulled a shuriken from his ninja tool pouch and threw it in the direction of Nono Yakushi!

"You were too careless..."

Kabuto Yakushi used his chakra scalpel to slash at Itachi Uchiha's neck. Itachi quickly leaned back to dodge, but his mask was still cleaved off!

"Is there any need to hide your true self?"

Kabuto Yakushi looked at the enemy opposite him and said coldly, "Akihara Kagura, the Dean has never wanted to forget you, and you don't want him to see you now..."

When Kabuto saw the true appearance of the enemy opposite him, his expression suddenly turned ugly, and a bead of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead!

"etc…"

"You're not..."

Kabuto looked at this person who had once passed him mission scrolls and whom he even had a good impression of: "Uchiha Itachi... how could it be you?"

Why you?

Why not Akihara Kagura?

Why isn't it Akihara Kagura who appears at this time? Isn't that guy plotting a famous conspiracy with Shimura Danzo, wanting him and Dean Yakushi Nonou to kill each other?

Why did Uchiha Itachi appear at this time?!

Kabuto Yakushi had a good impression of Itachi Uchiha because Itachi was very polite when delivering mission scrolls and even helped stop Akihara Kagura from making things difficult for people.

however…

Kabuto Yakushi never expected this...

The person she thought would come to kill her and Dean Yakushi Nonou was not Akihara Kagura as she had imagined, but someone she never expected!

Could it be, as Kakashi Hatake said, that Akihara Kagura only wanted to retaliate against Yakushi Nonou's favoritism towards her, but not necessarily wanted to kill them?

That's unlikely...

Even if it's out of revenge, Akihara Kagura should be here!

"..."

Kabuto the Pharmacist is very intelligent.

Compared to most people in the ninja world, Kabuto Yakushi can be considered a smart man, and he has begun to unravel some of the truths.

The fact that Akihara Kagura didn't appear here is the most unusual thing. How could a revenger who wants to get revenge not appear when he has achieved his goal?

perhaps…

Kabuto Yakushi pondered again what Kakashi Hatake had said to him.

Kagura Akihara might not have intended to kill them, but rather to warn them to be wary of Danzo Shimura's schemes. Perhaps this is why Kagura Akihara brought up Dean Nonou Yakushi and the fake photo incident during their first meeting...

Kabuto's heart clenched. That guy never really wanted to kill them; he just wanted to protect them and rescue them from the root.

Correct!

That's right!

Kakashi Hatake even said that in order to rescue the two of them, Kagura Akihara and Itachi Uchiha were still vying for the position of the future leader of Root!

This is why Itachi Uchiha is here. Itachi Uchiha works for Danzo Shimura, so he is ordered by Danzo Shimura to kill them, take their heads, and step onto the position of the future leader of Root!

In just a short while!

Kabuto Yakushi has figured everything out!

"Dean, run! Go find Akihara Kagura!"

Kabuto could only grapple with Itachi Uchiha while wielding his chakra scalpel, reminding his dean, "It wasn't Kagura, it was Danzo who wanted to kill us!"

"pocket…"

Yakushi Nonou called out weakly.

"Dean, you go first!"

Kabuto didn't dare turn around, and could only continue fighting while reminding her, "I'll come find you as soon as I've dealt with this brat!"

"Dou... go..."

Yakushi Nonou spoke haltingly.

Kabuto finally noticed the dean's unusual behavior. He had no choice but to endure the cost of being stabbed and force back Itachi Uchiha's attack. He then turned around to look at his dean.

That one glance…

The medicine man's heart skipped a beat.

Because he saw that Yakushi Nonou was lying on the ground at some point, with a shuriken stuck in her chest and abdomen, and her clothes were stained red with blood!

Kabuto leaped to Nono Yakushi's side, ignoring the blood still gushing from his own wounds and the presence of enemies nearby. He swiftly gathered chakra in his hands and placed it on Nono's wounds!

"Dean..."

"Hang in there..."

"I will definitely be able to cure you..."

Kabuto's face was covered in cold sweat as he desperately tried to save Nonou: "Hang in there, believe me, I can heal you. It's just a minor injury..."

"terribly sorry."

Uchiha Itachi slowly walked up to Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nono, carrying his ninja sword, and finally spoke his first words.

"I heard everything."

A hint of pain and sorrow flashed in Itachi Uchiha's eyes, yet he still kept his eyes fixed on Kabuto Yakushi's neck, resolutely raising his ninja sword high: "Although I know you have just experienced the joy of reunion, I have no choice but to kill you."

"No...don't worry about me...run away..."

Pharmacist Nono is still trying to persuade her child.

"Dean...Dean..."

Kabuto Yakushi seemed to have gone mad, not hearing anything, and kept muttering the name of Nono Yakushi.

Kabuto seemed oblivious to the ninja sword about to fall from above, his face still focused on treating the severely injured Nono Yakushi.

"Bye now."

Uchiha Itachi swung his ninja sword down with all his might!

This moment will likely be etched in Itachi Uchiha's heart forever; it was the first step he took toward darkness, a step from which there was no turning back!

perhaps…

There's no going back now!

pat!

Just as the ninja sword was about to fall, a young boy appeared beside them, gripping the blade tightly and preventing it from falling any further!

The sharp ninja sword immediately cut through his palm!

Even this hand could have been cut with a deep wound!

A trickle of blood flowed down the boy's slashed hand, dripping onto Kabuto's neck like raindrops of blood...

However, the boy seemed to feel no pain. He simply gripped his ninja sword tightly, looked at the astonished Uchiha Itachi in front of him, and slowly revealed a smile.

Do you remember what I told you?

The boy stared at his peer, his smile gradually turning cold and sinister: "Uchiha Itachi, I warned you long ago to stay away from Lord Danzo. I also told you that whether you can stop me from killing depends on your luck..."

"Now it's time to keep my word. Let's see your luck and see if anyone can stop me before I kill you..."

First update!

The foreshadowing at the end is resolved!

At the end of chapter 92, you can check in, but please do not spoil the plot!
