Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 13 Lord Danzo, may I kill them?

The Third Hokage was a politician in the ninja world.

From obtaining information about a Wood Release ninja from the Third Hokage to figuring out how to make the most of that information, it didn't even take more than twenty minutes.

First of all.

Itachi Uchiha participated in the Chunin Exams alone.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, the emergence of such a young genius is a stroke of luck for Konoha.

Unfortunately, Itachi Uchiha was born into the Uchiha clan, which is currently the biggest destabilizing factor in Konoha and has always been estranged from the village.

If this ten-year-old genius ninja passes the exam alone, it will undoubtedly make the already arrogant Uchiha clan even more arrogant and disregard other Konoha ninjas, and the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village will become more and more serious.

However, at this time, a Wood Release bloodline ninja appeared in Konoha Village. Regardless of the current strength of this Wood Release bloodline ninja, he could at least keep the Uchiha clan in peace for a while.

After all, during the Warring States period, Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage of Konoha, defeated and subdued Madara Uchiha, the most powerful clan leader of the Uchiha clan, by using his Wood Release bloodline limit, completely blocking the Uchiha clan's path to dominating the ninja world during the Warring States period.

The most ingenious thing is...

This Wood Release bloodline ninja happened to be a subordinate of Shimura Danzo.

Fugaku Uchiha, the head of the Uchiha clan, always knew that Danzo Shimura was the most hostile high-ranking official in Konoha and had been suppressing the development of the Uchiha clan.

Six years ago, during the Nine-Tails' rampage, most of Konoha was destroyed. In front of many Konoha clan leaders, Shimura Danzo relocated the Uchiha clan's territory to the edge of the village.

Now, Danzo Shimura has suddenly gained a Wood Release bloodline ninja who can potentially suppress the Uchiha clan, which will surely put pressure on Fugaku Uchiha.

As the supreme leader, the Hokage has the authority to mediate between the two sides.

The Third Hokage truly lived up to his reputation as the person who ruled Konoha for the longest time. His methods were shrewd yet somewhat gentle, maximizing benefits without resorting to drastic measures.

The very fact that the Third Hokage sent someone to deliver the exam registration forms carries a strong warning signal, because Tenzo was the previous Wood Release bloodline successor of Root, and Kakashi was the one who guided Tenzo away from Root, even causing a ruckus in Root to rescue Tenzo.

no doubt.

Danzo Shimura hated these two people to the core.

However, not long after the last incident where the Anbu surrounded the Root organization, Danzo Shimura dared not attack the Hokage's messenger and could only accept the warning from the Third Hokage, forced to obey his orders.

"You may go."

The Third Hokage had everything arranged. He waved for Kakashi and Tenzo to deliver something to the Root organization, intending to relax and pick up his pipe again.

The Third Hokage glanced at the crystal ball on the table, and as if sensing something in an instant, he suddenly raised his head and scanned his surroundings!

next moment.

The old man couldn't help but laugh.

"Looks like I'm really getting old, my body's not doing so well anymore. I inexplicably feel like Danzo is staring at me..."

"..."

Inside the training ground at the base.

[System Notification]: [New assignment: As requested by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, participate in the second half of the Chunin Exams in Konoha.]

This job system can even accept job assignments remotely!

really.

Nominally, any ninja within the Konoha system is subordinate to the Third Hokage. That Hokage doesn't even know who he is, yet he can demand that I do things!

but…

This Hokage's intuition is remarkably sharp!

No wonder he's a voyeur!

wrong…

He truly deserves to be called a seasoned ninja who has fought many battles!

Inside the training ground of the root organization.

Young Akihara Kagura was somewhat amazed by the Third Hokage's keen insight, and also admired the practicality of the [Darkness of the Ninja World] feature provided by the system.

This feature is so useful.

It allows you to gather intelligence without exposing yourself.

Even if someone were truly perceptive enough to sense being spied on, they would only perceive that they were being spied on by Danzo Shimura…

Kagura Akihara couldn't help but glance at Danzo beside her, feeling a little guilty. She figured she'd be making her boss take the blame for a lot of things in the future...

but…

This is all to be expected.

If a boss can't take the blame for his subordinates, who would be willing to work for him?

Akihara Kagura looked at Lord Danzo beside her. Lord Danzo had taken so many blames in his life, he certainly wouldn't mind taking the blame for his subordinates, right, Lord Danzo?

Danzo Shimura was completely unaware of his subordinate's thoughts, still preoccupied with how to conceal Akihara Kagura's existence, and how to properly nurture her so that he could give Hiruzen Sarutobi a big surprise in the future...

"I will teach you a new ninjutsu tomorrow."

Danzo Shimura was still basking in the joy of having acquired a powerful henchman. He had already planned to meticulously arrange Kagura Akihara's life, devising a way to ensure the child's eternal loyalty...

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

Akihara Kagura nodded quickly.

Hopefully, Lord Danzo will still be in such a good mood in a little while.

This period of time did not last too long.

Within the base of the root tissue.

When Shimura Danzo returned with Akihara Kagura, they were greeted by two Anbu ninjas being stopped at the base entrance. The two looked quite familiar…

"Kakashi Hatake!"

Shimura Danzo spotted one of the white-haired ANBU ninjas, and his expression immediately turned extremely cold: "You actually dare to come here..."

However, when Shimura Danzo saw another ANBU ninja, his entire expression darkened: "Hmph, you actually dare to come here..."

"Lord Danzo..."

This ANBU ninja was clearly an honest man; when he saw Shimura Danzo, he seemed somewhat ashamed and lowered his head: "I..."

"Tenzo, we are here to convey the Hokage's orders."

Kakashi Hatake already knew that his teammates would have a hard time facing Danzo Shimura, so he quickly stepped in front of them and said coldly, "The Hokage has ordered that the child with the Wood Release bloodline limit participate in the Chunin Exams in the second half of the year."

After Kakashi Hatake finished speaking, his gaze quickly shifted and landed on the boy next to Danzo Shimura: "I think the Hokage is talking about this kid, right? He caused quite a commotion at Training Ground Number Nine just now..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura could not refute this.

The old man felt uneasy.

Is that bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi trying to steal Akihara Kagura away again? This child's talent is even more terrifying than that traitor next to her who changed his name to Tenzo!

How could he possibly have a chance to turn things around?

Danzo Shimura wished he could kill Kakashi Hatake and Tenzo right now, then lead the Root organization to the Hokage Building and kill Hiruzen Sarutobi to vent his anger!

however…

Rebellion is a bit difficult.

The memory of Hiruzen Sarutobi leading a group of ANBU to surround the entire Root organization's base is still fresh in my mind; a single order could wipe out Danzo Shimura and the Root organization...

Kakashi Hatake took out a registration form he had prepared beforehand, handed it to the boy, and said softly, "This is your Chunin Exam registration form."

"..."

Akihara Kagura stared intently at Hatake Kakashi without saying a word.

"Take it."

Kakashi Hatake urged, then said somewhat nonchalantly, "You are a Konoha ninja, so you must obey the Hokage's orders."

"I will only obey Lord Danzo's orders."

Akihara Kagura suddenly turned to Shimura Danzo and asked, "Lord Danzo, they've upset you. Can I kill them?"

It's a little late...

I fixed it a bit...
