Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 116 Kagura's Instruction of Jonin!

"Boy, Obito doesn't like you."

White Zetsu returned to Akihara Kagura's side, and the first thing it did was report the matter to her. It had overheard Obito Uchiha's evaluation of Akihara Kagura.

"It's okay."

Kagura Akihara didn't seem to care much about Obito Uchiha's attitude towards him, and simply comforted White Zetsu Awei: "For me, the only help Obito Uchiha gave me was sending you here, making us comrades."

"That's what I think too."

White Zetsu Awei nodded and talked to Akihara Kagura about the meeting between Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi, while also making a comment about Uchiha Obito's behavior.

"Obito actually went directly to meet with Itachi Uchiha, thinking that everyone would choose to obey his orders. Both Obito and I think he was being a bit too naive..."

"That's normal."

Akihara Kagura understood her superior very well, because she knew that Uchiha Obito had exposed his true identity and his mentality had not changed.

Perhaps Obito Uchiha believed that his eye technique was invincible, or perhaps he thought he had a groundbreaking plan; these two points were what made everyone believe in him.

Obvious.

Others in the ninja world don't think so.

Even the White Zetsu who served Obito Uchiha didn't think so.

"Obito has given me another mission."

White Zetsu Awei felt the mission wasn't difficult: "It's just about instigating conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha leadership, forcing Uchiha Itachi to defect. That's easy; I can just transform into Itachi and kill some Konoha ninja..."

"That's too much trouble."

Akihara Kagura shook her head, not quite agreeing with White Zetsu Awei's suggestion.

[System Notification]: [New Mission: Assist Obito Uchiha in instigating conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, forcing Itachi Uchiha to defect and join the Akatsuki!]

"Actually, we don't need to do anything."

Kagura Akihara was fully aware of the mission's future: "We'd rather do nothing than make a mistake. Unless there's any external interference, Konoha and the Uchiha clan are unlikely to show any signs of improving their relationship..."

Akihara Kagura brought up Itachi Uchiha: "As for Itachi Uchiha, haven't you been keeping an eye on him? That guy must be having a tough time, right?"

That's true.

White Zetsu Awei nodded and began to recount the intelligence he had gathered from monitoring Uchiha Itachi: "It's because Uchiha Shisui left a suicide note and disappeared without a trace, and even his body couldn't be found, that many Uchiha suspected Uchiha Itachi of doing something..."

"After all, only Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha didn't attend the Uchiha coup rally that day, so there's suspicion that they had contact with Shisui Uchiha..."

"Knowing that he's not doing well, I'm relieved."

Kagura Akihara raised an eyebrow and waved her hand, saying, "The Uchiha clan is all so stubborn, believing that their own will can solve everything, and they don't even care about the opinions of others. Even knowing that their mission target is the most important person in their team, they will still ruthlessly raise their butcher's knife..."

If Itachi Uchiha had been more flexible back then, when he was in the Land of Earth, and had been willing to go with Kagura Akihara to rescue Kakashi Hatake;

If Itachi Uchiha had chosen to capture Kabuto Yakushi and Nono Yakushi and hand them over to Kagura Akihara when he was carrying out Danzo Shimura's test mission, instead of swinging his ninja sword to try and cut them down, the situation might have been very different.

"Are we really going to do nothing?"

White Zetsu Awei looked at Akihara Kagura and cautiously reminded her, "Uchiha Obito is hiding in the Naka Shrine; he's single-mindedly trying to recruit Uchiha Itachi!"

"Is this someone planning to supervise the construction?"

Akihara Kagura's eyes flashed, and she immediately had an idea: "I have a plan. I can tell others that I want to take revenge on Uchiha Itachi for hurting Dean Yakushi Nonou, and that I will help the village wipe out all the Uchiha sooner or later..."

"The Third Hokage of Konoha would never agree to this, would he?"

Bai Jue Awei felt that this plan was not very reliable.

"I have tried my best to carry out the tasks assigned by Obito."

Akihara Kagura spread her palms: "But the Third Hokage won't allow me to wipe out the Uchiha clan. What more extreme method could I possibly have?"

"No wonder we haven't taken any action..."

White Zetsu Awei nodded, greatly admiring Akihara Kagura's plan.

This plan is very simple; it can be done with just a few words. Everyone knows that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would never agree to this plan.

"However, be careful."

White Zetsu Awei reminded Akihara Kagura to be careful about one thing: "Uchiha Itachi has obtained a Mangekyou Sharingan that can change one's will. I don't want anything to happen to you, in case he's wary of your power..."

"Thanks for reminding me."

Akihara Kagura nodded in satisfaction.

Although Akihara Kagura already had a way to destroy the Mangekyou Sharingan, Obito Uchiha was still in Konoha at that time, so it wasn't the perfect opportunity.

Just as Akihara Kagura was about to begin her work, an ANBU member relayed a message to her: the Third Hokage had ordered her to go to the Hokage Building.

coincidentally.

When Akihara Kagura arrived at the Hokage Building, Uchiha Itachi was just about to leave.

In terms of timing, this was the first formal meeting between Itachi Uchiha and Kagura Akihara since their conflict in the Land of Earth. The two had not seen each other for several months after their return.

It was no coincidence that Itachi Uchiha appeared at the Hokage Building.

After Shisui Uchiha committed suicide, Hiruzen Sarutobi lost his eyes and ears within the Uchiha clan. He directly ordered Itachi Uchiha, the only spy planted within the Uchiha clan, to report intelligence to all Konoha high-ranking officials, instead of reporting only to Danzo Shimura.

This kind of thing...

Danzo Shimura had no way to refuse, nor could he even refute it.

Uchiha Itachi would regularly come to the Hokage Building to report on the situation of the Uchiha clan. During this period, Itachi's reports were similar, mostly mentioning that after Uchiha Shisui's suicide, the Uchiha clan temporarily lost its fighting power and confidence in the coup.

"Uchiha Itachi".

Akihara Kagura suddenly called out to Uchiha Itachi, feigning ignorance, "I heard Uchiha Shisui is dead. When I wanted to kill you, is there anyone left to protect you?"

"Kagura".

Itachi Uchiha lowered his head.

During this period, Itachi Uchiha was too busy dealing with the troubles that arose after Shisui Uchiha's suicide, and he forgot about the major crisis that had once plagued Akihara Kagura.

but…

The crisis facing the Uchiha clan has not yet been resolved.

However, Akihara Kagura's crisis was no longer a crisis.

As an Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha knew he wouldn't be as powerless as before; he now had plenty of ways to deal with Akihara Kagura.

"I don't want any more conflict with you."

Itachi Uchiha lightly stepped past Kagura Akihara: "That was a mission I had to carry out, and we won't have any further contact in the future."

"Is it just a mission?"

Kagura Akihara watched his retreating figure, nodded, and said, "I understand. Well, I do hope that one day I can carry out such a mission, to kill the person most important to you. Your younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, is the most important person to you, right?"

"..."

Uchiha Itachi abruptly stopped, turning his head to glance at his teammates. The terrifying look in their eyes was enough to make anyone want to feel fear!

"That's a good eye."

Akihara Kagura praised him and continued, "You want to kill me, don't you? But you can't kill me with just your eyes."

"most…"

"Has a good pair of eyes."

Akihara Kagura's lips curled into a slight smile, as if she were saying something that barely piqued her interest: "It's really interesting to think about this world. A former murderer actually wanted to kill his victim because he was afraid the victim might retaliate..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha's momentum faltered.

Kagura Akihara is always like this.

Even though she was the one being forced every time, it always seemed like Akihara Kagura was in the right.

"never mind."

"I cannot understand your way of thinking."

"Just as you could never understand my actions..."

"Humans live within their own cognition, and are always unable to understand things outside of their own cognition, and will never even think of jumping out of their own cognition."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head, not wanting to continue entangled with Akihara Kagura, and stated his attitude directly: "If you still want revenge for what happened that day, then target me. We all have people who are most important to us..."

This is a challenge.

For Itachi Uchiha, his younger brother Sasuke Uchiha was his most important family member; for Kagura Akihara, Kabuto Yakushi and Nonou Yakushi were also his most important people.

They both had feelings for each other.

Don't involve those around you in problems between two people.

"The most important thing in life is fairness."

Akihara Kagura gave a strange smile: "If you think you can just erase what you did in Tuhe Canyon, that's not fair. I don't like people taking advantage of me."

There has never been absolute fairness in this world.

Itachi Uchiha, not wanting to continue the argument, turned and left on his own: "Now I'm willing to resolve this trouble between us in a relatively fair way..."

Uchiha Itachi stopped in his tracks and earnestly advised, "If you still can't let go of the Tsuchi River Canyon matter, and if you really want to do something, please focus your attention on me alone."

"I'll take that to heart for now."

Akihara Kagura watched with a smile as Uchiha Itachi's departing figure receded into the distance.

"What's wrong with you?"

Kakashi Hatake appeared before Kagura Akihara. He glanced at Itachi Uchiha as he walked away and couldn't help but ask, "Is it still because of the Tsuchi River Canyon incident?"

"no."

Kagura Akihara shook her head and looked at her captain: "Captain Kakashi, I feel like I might be a little weak. Itachi Uchiha isn't afraid of me anymore..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake found this subordinate a real headache: "Why do you have to make people afraid of you?!"

"Akihara Kagura's initial intentions were all kind, so how come her personality and behavior are so awful?"

such as.

It's about Naruto.

Kakashi Hatake, remembering Naruto's situation, said, "By the way, the first-year final exam results from the Ninja Academy are out. Karin did quite well, but Naruto's results weren't ideal. Lately, I've felt like Anko is showing signs of going crazy..."

"She's probably afraid I'll cause her trouble."

Akihara Kagura casually offered Mitarashi Anko a reason.

"Perhaps..."

Kakashi Hatake gave a strange smile.

Was he going to tell Akihara Kagura that Mitarashi Anko, a dignified Chunin, was almost driven crazy by Naruto's attitude towards summer tutoring and his grades?

"However, you might become even stronger."

Kakashi Hatake patted Kagura Akihara on the shoulder and urged her softly, "Let's go to the rooftop of the Hokage Building. A respected senior has returned."

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi specifically informed Kakashi Hatake that Kagura Akihara would be receiving instruction from a Jonin teacher and would be temporarily leaving the Anbu for a period of time.

Kakashi Hatake also met a senior he knew. That respected senior was probably the Jonin that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was looking for to mentor Kagura Akihara.

Although Akihara Kagura has no experience as a Jonin instructor yet, Konoha may not be able to find a more suitable person besides that senior.

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building.

A tall, white-haired man stood there, looking down intently at Akihara Kagura below the Hokage Building. A gentle breeze blew his long hair, making him appear somewhat carefree and free, like a hermit sage.

"Jiraiya, how does it feel to be back in the village?"

After finishing his business, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, went up to the rooftop to catch up with his long-lost disciples and chat. Following Jiraiya's gaze, he saw Kagura Akihara in front of the Hokage Building.

"Kagura has arrived..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, still smoking his pipe, exhaled a smoke ring: "What did you think of that little guy at first glance?"

"I had a feeling from the first glance that he might be a troublesome person..."

When the tall, white-haired man spoke, his air of superiority vanished instantly. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Old man, this is the person you're planning to hand over to me. I get the feeling he'll give me a real headache in the future..."

"Actually, this is already giving me a real headache."

Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt a bit of a headache and brought up the matter of Kagura Akihara: "This child has been influenced by Danzo Shimura, and her personality has become too extreme. If I hadn't really had no other choice, I wouldn't have wanted to call you back..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at his disciple and said earnestly, "I believe you will teach him well, just as you taught Minato, and guide this child to become a qualified successor to the Will of Fire."

"Did they choose him?"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't answer, but instead spoke of Akihara Kagura's strengths: "This child possesses the Wood Release of the First Hokage, and the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second and Fourth Hokage. It would be difficult to find a more suitable successor than this child..."

"You're not someone who believes in strength above all else..."

The tall, white-haired man shook his head, seemingly sensing that his teacher had a different opinion.

However, once he thought about Akihara Kagura's advantages, the white-haired man had to admit that the temptation to make this child a qualified successor was too great.

In terms of both status and power, this child is the perfect successor for Konoha.

"And then there's the magic you've mastered..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze fell on the white-haired man.

"I haven't fully mastered it yet..."

The white-haired man's gaze immediately fell, and he quickly realized that his teacher was bringing up the old story of him succeeding as the Fifth Hokage again. He shook his head quickly and said, "I will not be bound by the position of Hokage!"

"I will teach him well."

After agreeing, the white-haired man suddenly looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with some curiosity: "Wait, the First Hokage's Wood Release, the Second Hokage and Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, old man, you, the Third Hokage, didn't teach this child your own techniques?"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, engrossed in his pipe, gazed into the distance.

It wasn't that Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to teach him the techniques, but rather that the first technique this child learned from him was the Wooden Dummy Technique, which was comparable to Susanoo...

The Third Hokage was proficient in almost all of Konoha's techniques, especially the combination ninjutsu of the five elements. However, those extremely powerful combination ninjutsu were actually quite ordinary ninjutsu, most of which required proper hand seals, which would definitely make the child who didn't like hand seals dislike them.

The old man was a little embarrassed to take it out.

"Tsk..."

The white-haired man seemed to know his teacher well, chuckled, and teased, "Old man, don't look down on yourself! You're known as the strongest Hokage!"

"That's so rude!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly leaped up, swinging his pipe and smashing it onto his disciple's head. He then forced a calm expression and said, "There's been too much village business lately. I just haven't had the time to deal with it properly..."

After fabricating a reason, Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject and got down to business: "Jiraiya, we must teach that child well. If that child can master Sage Mode, he might truly reach the level of the First Hokage in the future, and we can see the hope of long-term peace in the ninja world while we are still alive..."

After expressing his hopes for the future, Hiruzen Sarutobi then raised his concerns: "If we can't remove the darkness from that child's heart, you should know what a powerful ninja who wields forbidden power can do. He might end up like Orochimaru..."

Just like his other disciple Orochimaru, once he mastered forbidden power, he went mad and even endangered his fellow villagers.

When the white-haired man heard the old man mention his old friend's name, he fell silent. After a long while, his voice, carried by the gentle breeze, was so soft it almost drifted away on the wind.

"I will bring Orochimaru back."

First update!

First thing in the morning, here's five thousand words!
