Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 109 Sasuke, please pass on a message to your brother: tell him to live well.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little confused.

Especially after the old man learned that rumors were circulating in the Anbu that Itachi Uchiha was the future successor of Root, Hiruzen Sarutobi became even more confused.

How exactly did this news get out?

Does everyone know that Shimura Danzo is grooming a successor?

The old man stood in front of a mirror, looked at himself, and sighed, "Danzo and I are indeed getting old..."

Judging by their age, they should indeed be considering training successors; even Shimura Danzo has started training a successor.

The position of Hokage is more important than the position of Root leader.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking at his future successor, felt a deep sense of unease: "Danzo is already considering who will take over Root, and we must urge Jiraiya to return. It's time to find a suitable teacher for that kid Akihara Kagura..."

Konoha Village, Ninja Academy.

This is Akihara Kagura's first time here.

After Akihara Kagura arranged a house near Uzumaki Naruto with Karin, she took her to the Ninja Academy and completed the enrollment procedures there.

A group of little girls were playing around in the school, while several Chunin teachers sat chatting in a corner of the playground. It looked exceptionally harmonious and peaceful.

Akihara Kagura saw many familiar faces among the group of children, and even the little girl with the bun hairstyle who had once covered her with a blanket.

"Huh?"

This little girl with the bun hairstyle is named Tiantian.

As Akihara Kagura passed by, Tenten couldn't help but glance at her with some curiosity. She felt that the person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

"Tian Tian, ​​what's wrong?"

A boy with white eyes noticed his classmate's unusual behavior and followed her gaze to Akihara Kagura and Karin: "That's ANBU attire. That person is an ANBU ninja, and he doesn't look much older than us..."

Based on Akihara Kagura's age, he should be in the fifth year of the Ninja Academy. If his performance is average, he will need to study for another year before graduating.

however…

Now his rank is the same as that of a teacher at the Ninja Academy.

Akihara Kagura stood in the teachers' office at the Ninja Academy and found the first-year teacher. This first-year teacher looked very young and had come to the Ninja Academy to become a teacher not long after being promoted to Chunin.

"My name is Iruka Umino."

The teacher, who had a scar on his nose, smiled and said, "The homeroom teacher of the first-year class at the Ninja Academy. What brings you here?"

"Come and complete the enrollment procedures."

Kagura Akihara nudged Karin and whispered, "This child is a little over six years old. The Third Hokage has already allowed her to attend the Ninja Academy."

"Is that so?"

Iruka Umino glanced at Karin and kindly reminded her, "It's the second semester of her first year now. I actually suggest she wait until September when the Ninja Academy recruits students before entering the next year, so she doesn't fall behind in the curriculum..."

"Can you do it?"

Akihara Kagura glanced down at Karin.

"I...can do it."

Karin huddled somewhat nervously beside Kagura Akihara.

In this unfamiliar village, Karin didn't know anyone. The only person she could rely on was Akihara Kagura, who had taken care of her all the way and never abandoned her.

She said she could.

Akihara Kagura looked at Umino Iruka.

"Ah, this..."

Iruka Umino scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly, and continued to advise, "It's really tough for transfer students at the ninja academy these days..."

"It's okay."

Akihara Kagura shook her head and continued, "If she really can't keep up, I'll help her find a Chunin tutor for extra lessons."

"..."

Iruka Umino really had no reason to refuse.

"Oh, right."

Kagura Akihara watched Iruka Umino complete the paperwork and suddenly asked, "Is Naruto Uzumaki also a first-year student? How are his grades?"

"..."

Iruka Umino suddenly stopped writing, lowered his head, and asked, "What's your relationship with Naruto?"

"You two have a history of eating ramen together?"

Akihara Kagura replied casually.

"His grades...are exceptionally bad."

Iruka Umino thought of the student with the worst grades in his class, and couldn't help but feel a headache and mixed feelings. He hated the Nine-Tails inside that child, but he also thought of his dream to fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher.

Because of the Nine-Tails, Umino Iruka's parents were killed.

Even though they know this has nothing to do with Naruto Uzumaki, they still can't help but hate the Nine-Tailed Fox. To them, the Nine-Tailed Fox and Naruto Uzumaki are one.

"That would be perfect."

Kagura Akihara glanced at Karin and said softly, "It's inevitable that you'll feel lonely tutoring alone. It's good that someone can tutor you with you."

"..."

Korin nodded hastily.

"Don't bully others, and don't let yourself be bullied."

Akihara Kagura considered the first-year students at the Ninja Academy, including some second-generation elites, and continued, "If anyone bullies you, tell me. I'll think about how to deal with their parents. Anbu ninjas are known for their murderous and annihilation work."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is going too far..."

Teacher Iruka Umino quickly tried to stop the eleven-year-old's parent, who had such an extreme personality, waving his hand and saying, "I won't let this child be bullied..."

In fact, many first-graders come from families with very strong backgrounds.

The youngest son of the head of the Uchiha clan, one of Konoha's two great clans; the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main branch; children of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio; and children of the Inuzuka and Aburame clans...

Theoretically speaking, this ANBU ninja named Akihara Kagura shouldn't have provoked these clans, yet Umino Iruka had actually witnessed his performance in the Chunin Exams...

have to say.

It's really a bit scary.

"I'm leaving now."

Akihara Kagura patted Karin's head, seemingly knowing that the little one would be scared after he left, and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid."

"Yes, Lady Kagura."

Karin nodded quickly.

When Akihara Kagura left, his appearance clearly amazed many people, especially the ninja headband on his head.

"They look about the same age as us..."

"Their attire is different from the teachers'; are they elite ninjas?"

"I don't know!"

"Tch...that guy..."

A little boy stood in the crowd, clearly looking down on Akihara Kagura, and muttered, "Nii-san has one of those outfits too. Isn't he just an ANBU ninja?"

"Oh, it's little Sasuke..."

Akihara Kagura paused noticeably, glanced at Sasuke surrounded by two little girls, and gave him a kind smile: "Just pass on a message for me, when your brother comes back, tell him..."

"What do you want to do?"

Sasuke was clearly somewhat unconvinced by Akihara Kagura.

Akihara Kagura looked at Sasuke, her tone softening considerably: "Now your brother and I are teammates, and we're good friends..."

"Huh?"

Sasuke felt a little confused.

Damn it, when did this guy become best friends with his brother?! How can he possibly be hostile towards him now?!

"Tell him for me..."

Akihara Kagura crouched down and affectionately stroked Uchiha Sasuke's head: "You must live well in the future, there's still a long way to go!"

"It doesn't sound like anything nice..."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Akihara Kagura with a somewhat confused expression.

"Just tell him for me, he'll thank you."

After finishing her sentence, Akihara Kagura stood up and strode away, leaving behind a somewhat bewildered Uchiha Sasuke pondering with his little head in thought.

"I should find a Chunin to tutor those two brats..."

Kagura Akihara was forced to confront his most troublesome problem: he didn't know anyone there, and he wondered if he should try to split the cost among himself. "Maybe I should go find Captain Kakashi and ask if he'd be willing to help Naruto with his tutoring fees..."

First grade class.

Naruto Uzumaki, who was fooling around in the classroom, suddenly sneezed.

A chubby boy who was playing with him immediately stopped and looked at his friend curiously: "Naruto, do you have a cold?"

"It doesn't matter."

Naruto rubbed his nose and chuckled, "Choji, let's continue. Anyway, I have a cold and no doctor is coming to treat me, hahaha..."

"good!"

"I'm staying with you even though I have a cold, instead of going to the doctor!"

The chubby boy was very loyal to his friends, but he was also a little troubled: "However, I'm very healthy, I don't know when I'll catch a cold..."

"Wait until you lose weight..."

A little boy with his hair tied up picked at his ear.

"Shikamaru, I'm not fat!"

The chubby boy immediately got a little angry.

"Ah, yes, yes... it's voluptuous."

The little boy with his hair tied up added calmly.

Just as they were playing and joking around, the school bell rang, and the group of little ones moved to their seats. The first-grade homeroom teacher, Umino Iruka, walked in with a little girl with red hair and glasses.

"This is seraphine."

Iruka Umino patted Karin on the shoulder and said softly, "Karin, please introduce yourself to everyone!"

"How...should I introduce it?"

Karin tugged at her clothes, glancing nervously at Iruka.

"that is…"

Iruka Umino smiled, soothing her fear: "Introduce yourself, tell me your name, what you like, what you dislike, and your future dreams..."

"Yes."

Karin stood before everyone present and softly said, "My name is Karin. My favorite person is Kagura-sama, and I hate the people Kagura-sama hates. My dream for the future is to become someone like Kagura-sama..."

"..."

Iruka Umino was dumbfounded.

Even a group of children were stunned.

Umino Iruka quickly smiled and corrected Karin, "You should introduce things you like, not things Kagura-kun likes, like what he likes to eat..."

"What Kagura-sama likes is what I like."

Karin's body trembled slightly as she earnestly said, "I like eating the fish that Kagura-sama catches... I hate fish that don't bite Kagura-sama's hook."

"..."

A group of children burst into laughter.

"They don't have any of their own ideas at all!"

"Look at her hair, it's red, like a little chili pepper..."

"Who exactly is this Kagura-sama...?"

"Is that Akihara Kagura?"

Sasuke and Naruto both said the same name in unison. They couldn't help but look at each other, then quickly turned their heads away in disgust.

"Yes."

Karin nodded.

"That person..."

The little boy, whose hair had always been tied up, suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

Compared to other children, this little guy is clearly more mature psychologically, has been exposed to more information, and has even witnessed the Chunin Exams firsthand.

"Shikamaru, do you know him?"

The chubby boy lay on his stomach and asked curiously.

"It has nothing to do with us..."

Shikamaru, holding the back of his head, said nonchalantly, "Anyway, in Dad's words, it's probably something like the future of the village!"

"I don't quite understand."

"The gist of it is that we can just coast along and wait to die, since the village already has people who will protect it in the future..."

"Okay, I'll go buy potato chips later."

The chubby boy readily agreed, since his grades weren't good anyway.

Naruto rejected Shikamaru's suggestion to give up and lie low, waving his little fist and saying, "That won't do! We still need to study hard. I'm going to become Hokage and gain everyone's approval!"

"But your grades are the worst, right..."

Shikamaru started picking his ears again.

The ninja academy welcomed a new student, an event that kept the group of children entertained for a day. After school, they all went home, and the next day, the "new" in the name of the new student was removed.

Naruto Uzumaki walked home from school alone as usual, but he saw a little girl with red hair following him. He didn't realize until he got to his doorstep that the two of them were neighbors.

"Karin, we're neighbors!"

"Um…"

Karin nodded.

"..."

Naruto felt a slight warmth in his heart.

However, something even warmer happened to Naruto Uzumaki: Akihara Kagura and Hatake Kakashi came over with a woman they didn't recognize and invited him and Karin to eat dumplings!

What day is it today?!

Not only did he have a classmate as a neighbor, but someone also treated him to meatballs!

"Thank you for your hard work, Red Bean."

Kakashi Hatake smiled and apologized, seemingly a little embarrassed: "My Anbu allowance hasn't been paid yet, and I only have enough money left to treat you to some dumplings..."

This matter actually has nothing to do with Kakashi Hatake.

However, when Akihara Kagura mentioned finding tutors for Karin and Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Kakashi volunteered to get involved and even offered to contribute some money.

Unfortunately.

Tutors in Konoha are extremely expensive.

Kakashi Hatake and Kagura Akihara lowered their expectations, only hoping to find someone who could help with their studies, since Kakashi definitely couldn't help with tutoring. Kakashi had already graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of five, while other children his age weren't even in school yet…

Akihara Kagura never went to school.

There weren't many people in Konoha willing to take on a poor guy's commission.

Just then, Mitarashi Anko, who had once deceived Akihara Kagura, came into view. It was as if she had been delivered to his door for free.

"It's not hard work, it's just a tough life."

Mitarashi Anko took a bite of a dumpling and muttered something.

"Don't worry."

Kagura Akihara glanced at Karin and Naruto and said, "As long as these two kids pass their final exams, I won't hold a grudge against you anymore."

After all, Karin was someone he brought back to Konoha and would be an important subordinate in the future, so he decided to let her enjoy a leisurely campus life for a while.

"OK."

Mitarashi Anko nodded, utterly disdainful of her task: "What's the point of making up for first-year courses? I'll make up for six years of courses for these two brats, so they can graduate early!"

Mitarashi Anko was an outstanding graduate of the Ninja Academy, even graduating at the age of ten. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been accepted as a student by Orochimaru!

"Wait... I need to... catch up on my lessons..."

Naruto Uzumaki, holding the Rasengan in his hand, was struck dumb, as if by a bolt from the blue!

Why am I being forced to take extra classes? Why am I being forced to study?

"Good luck."

Akihara Kagura offered her sincere blessing, then casually added, "This teacher is quite strict, unlike me who's kind. I'm going out on a mission; I hope you'll be back alive."

"what?"

Naruto was terrified: "Sensei... will you kill me?"

"If it doesn't meet the requirements, yes..."

Mitarashi Anko gave a sweet smile and said things that would scare children to tears.

Kakashi Hatake remembered that Kagura Akihara was going out to pick up Kabuto Yakushi and Nonou Yakushi, and offered to help: "Do you need me to come with you?"

"It's nothing, I can handle it myself."

Kagura Akihara shook her head, not wanting Kakashi Hatake to interfere: "Bringing one more person will consume a lot more chakra. I will use the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring them back as soon as possible."

Akihara Kagura then looked at Mitarashi Anko, a strange glint in her eyes. She was certain that this trip would lead her to Orochimaru, the teacher Anko longed for day and night…

Kagura Akihara already knew that Orochimaru had taken Kabuto Yakushi and Nono Yakushi away. This trip was to bring back the two spy members, and from then on, the family would begin their true life of infiltration into Konoha.

Third update!

There will definitely be warmth!

Akihara Kagura is really a good person.
