Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 137 We're all Jiraiya's students, we're all in the same organization!

Konoha Village, Naga Shrine.

Obito Uchiha lived quite comfortably here.

During the day, he would go to the memorial stone on the back mountain of Konoha and chat with Rin Nohara's gravestone; at night, he would secretly hide in the Naka Shrine and eavesdrop on the Uchiha clan's rebellion from time to time.

Obvious.

Itachi Uchiha could not change the Uchiha clan's mind.

Because Itachi Uchiha could not be respected by his clansmen like his father, Fugaku Uchiha, and had even begun to be ostracized by his clansmen for being too close to the Konoha leadership.

The Uchiha clan will not change.

The Konoha leadership naturally couldn't change that.

Sooner or later, the two sides will clash, and the Uchiha are no match for the Konoha leadership.

Obito Uchiha was no longer in a hurry. He wanted to recruit Itachi Uchiha, who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and also wanted to take the opportunity to collect some Sharingan as backup for Izanagi.

"Obito, something's happened!"

Just as Obito Uchiha continued to wait for an opportunity, White Zetsu emerged from the ground and reported the information from the Akatsuki organization.

"Something's happened to the Akatsuki..."

White Zetsu Awei's expression was somewhat grim as he reported on the situation in the Land of Rain: "Jiraiya, together with Hanzo of the Salamander, led the boy in an attack on the Akatsuki. Pain, the Deva Path, attacked the boy and was killed by Wood Release. The others were forced to flee, and the base was also razed to the ground..."

"Where are Nagato and the Gedo Statue?"

Obito Uchiha immediately tensed up. He knew that White Zetsu always liked to call Akihara Kagura "boy," and pressed on, "And what's wrong with that brat Akihara Kagura? Doesn't he know Akatsuki is my organization? Didn't you stop him?"

"There's nothing we can do about it."

White Zetsu Awei shook his head and pointed out Akihara Kagura's predicament: "Pain didn't know the boy was one of yours, and he led the Akatsuki to attack him. To avoid being killed, the boy could only use Wood Release to fight back, and accidentally killed Pain with Wood Release..."

However, Nagato, who was controlling Pain, is still alive and has led the others to a new base. He has already resummoned the Gedo Mazo to the new base.

"..."

Obito Uchiha's heart calmed down, but he felt a slight headache: "Internal strife within the same organization... they're all a bunch of troublemakers!"

"Obito, let's go and clean up the mess!"

White Zetsu looked at Uchiha Obito and warned, "If you don't go soon, the boy and Nagato will start killing each other..."

"Okay, okay!"

Obito Uchiha was clearly getting impatient, muttering a solution under his breath: "Actually, it wouldn't matter if Nagato killed that brat Akihara Kagura..."

"..."

White Zetsu Awei was somewhat dissatisfied with Obito Uchiha's statement and volunteered, "Couldn't we let the boy kill Nagato and transplant the Rinnegan from him? Someone said that the boy awakened the Sage Body..."

"..."

Another figure emerged from the ground.

"A celestial body?"

Black Zetsu seemed somewhat incredulous at the news he was hearing and asked, "While Kagura's Wood Release is powerful and her chakra is plentiful, it's still far from reaching the level of a Sage's Body, isn't it?"

"Someone called the Great Toad Sage said that..."

Bai Jue Awei revealed his source, explaining, "It's said that the boy quickly entered a state called Sage Mode..."

"..."

Black Zetsu immediately realized their mistake.

The true Sage Body is the constitution of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, not the kind that Akihara Kagura can awaken by transplanting Hashirama's cells.

Black Zetsu believed that the only person in the world capable of awakening the Sage's Body was the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, son of the Sage of Six Paths; however, based on the timeline, Black Zetsu knew that Akihara Kagura was not the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra…

but…

Actually, the plan proposed by Bai Jue Awei is quite reliable.

Black Zetsu looked at Obito Uchiha and suggested, "Kagura is younger and has a stronger life force than Nagato. Perhaps we could use Kagura to replace Nagato in the future to keep Madara's Rinnegan active. After all, Nagato is already becoming quite disobedient..."

"That Akihara Kagura is even more troublesome!"

Obito Uchiha felt a surge of irritation just thinking about that name: "Have you guys even counted how much trouble that brat has caused?!"

"The boy must have been a great help!"

White Zetsu Awei carefully spoke up for Akihara Kagura, saying, "At least Konoha hasn't sent Hatake Kakashi to continue investigating Obito..."

"..."

Obito Uchiha really couldn't refute that.

Although Akihara Kagura's actions were numerous, they did help him achieve his goal, and she was quite decisive when carrying out his mission.

only…

That brat is acting too extremely and keeps causing trouble!

"Obito, let's go back."

After offering a word of advice, White Zetsu Awei reminded Uchiha Obito, "Nagato hasn't been very obedient lately. This time, the Deva Path Pain he was controlling was killed by the boy's Wood Release. You can use the boy to suppress Nagato, or you can use Nagato to suppress the boy..."

"Um?"

Obito Uchiha suddenly realized that he could do this: he could use the conflict between his two subordinates to make them more obedient.

Ah Wei, this White Zetsu...

No wonder it's the smartest one they carefully selected!

Actually, these are just some common leadership tactics. Obito Uchiha almost never had any real subordinates, and his subordinates never fought amongst themselves...

"Then I'll go back."

Obito Uchiha nodded, and his body quickly entered the space-time vortex.

The land of rain.

The original base of the Akatsuki organization.

Yahiko's grave was placed here.

Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura have been guarding Yahiko's grave, hoping to have a chance to meet Nagato and Konan, who come to steal Yahiko's body or secretly visit the grave.

Akihara Kagura was very calm. While accompanying her teacher, she continued to slowly practice the Rasengan. She had already mastered one of the Rasengan's nature transformations.

"Sage Art: Lava Release: Rasengan!"

A scorching, magma-colored spiral shuriken appeared in Akihara Kagura's palm, and she hurled it towards the former Akatsuki base in the distance!

Boom!

That area immediately triggered an explosion!

Even at the center of the explosion, there were still clumps of lava flowing!

"Well done."

Jiraiya was very pleased with his disciple's progress, but also somewhat troubled, saying, "With you causing such a commotion, Nagato and Konan will be even less likely to come. Kagura, go to the Land of Rain to train and help those suffering because of the war..."

"Jiraiya-sensei, all I do is kill."

Akihara Kagura looked at her teacher with an innocent expression.

"..."

Jiraiya dared not let the person out again.

"and…"

Akihara Kagura looked at Jiraiya and asked, "Jiraiya-sensei, that senior brother Nagato you've been talking about, didn't he actually want to kill you?"

"Nagato isn't..."

Jiraiya couldn't finish his sentence.

Because of what Pain said, Jiraiya already knew about Nagato's changes. Could that disciple really kill him?

"That's all Danzo's fault!"

Jiraiya tapped Akihara Kagura's head with his finger: "When you return to Konoha, stay away from that old man Danzo! That old man has made you extreme!"

"I'm going to buy a glass of pear juice!"

Akihara Kagura instantly disappeared from the spot.

have to say.

The master and apprentice got along very harmoniously.

However, this inevitably makes other people unhappy.

An eagle with the Rinnegan eye was circling on a nearby tree, its talons tightly clutching a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll made of origami).

Yes.

Nagato and Konan had been spying on what was happening here.

After settling the new location for Akatsuki's base, the two of them heard about Yahiko's grave and rushed over.

They originally planned to take action on the first day, but they discovered that Akihara Kagura and Jiraiya were hiding here. This tomb was a trap to lure them in, but it was a trap that they had no choice but to fall into!

fortunately.

Yahiko's body had already been disposed of.

Even if it were to break down underground, Nagato could use his Hell Path abilities to summon the King of Hell to deal with it. That's why they wanted to wait a few more days, believing that Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura would leave soon.

Over the past few days, Akihara Kagura seemed not to have noticed them. Nagato and Konan hid nearby, observing Akihara Kagura and Jiraiya, the master and apprentice. They couldn't help but think of the days when they were taught by Jiraiya.

"Those were truly memorable days..."

Nagato, able to use the Rinnegan's ability to share vision, saw the two masters and disciples bickering and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret: "It's a pity that we can never go back to the past."

"..."

Xiao Nan silently lowered her head.

"How much longer do we have to wait here?"

"Let's wait one more day. If they still haven't left, we'll make our move..."

Before Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura could leave, Nagato and Konan were greeted by Uchiha Obito, who had returned to the Land of Rain from Konoha.

Knowing their intentions, Obito Uchiha secretly asked Zetsu to help steal Yahiko's body and store it in his own space.

"You don't need to wait here."

Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan created a space-time vortex, placing a coffin in front of them: "I have already taken out Pain, the Deva Path."

Thank you.

Nagato nodded, took the initiative to thank him, and closed his hands together.

"Spiritual communication!"

A Yama, the King of Hell, with a huge mouth, appeared beside him!

The King of Hell opened its mouth, extended a long tongue, and swallowed Yahiko's corpse whole. After chewing for a while, Pain emerged from its mouth.

This is one of the abilities of the Rinnegan.

Any damaged Six Paths Puppet can be resurrected by the King of Hell, as long as the corpse is still intact.

"alright."

After resolving the matter, Obito Uchiha brought up another matter he needed to attend to: "You don't need to rush back. I'd like to introduce you to a new comrade."

"companion?"

Obito Uchiha nodded and led them to a secluded beverage shop in a small town, where a boy was sitting and buying pear juice.

It's Akihara Kagura!

"..."

Nagato and Konan were suddenly startled!

Nagato swiftly manipulated the newly resurrected Pain to protect him. He had personally witnessed Akihara Kagura's power and experienced the troublesome nature of that little guy!

Akihara Kagura took two glasses of pear juice from the shopkeeper, instantly appearing beside them. She even picked up a glass and handed it to Nagato: "Senior, my Flying Thunder God Mark hasn't been removed yet. Killing this puppet again will only take a moment..."

"you!"

Nagato's expression suddenly changed.

Nagato only wanted Pain to stand in front of him, but he forgot that Pain still had Akihara Kagura's mark on him!

However, after hearing Akihara Kagura address her, Nagato slowly reached out and took the glass of pear juice, saying softly, "Thank you..."

"I never expected you guys would get involved with Obito Uchiha, the Konoha rogue ninja..."

Kagura Akihara sipped her pear juice contentedly and then questioned, "So, it seems that the orange-haired man and light blue-haired woman that the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, saw when he was controlled by Obito Uchiha were this puppet and Konan, right?"

"Little brat."

Obito Uchiha rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice, "Don't put on that loyal-to-Konoha act here. Let me introduce you to them and let them know your identity, so that you won't have any conflicts in the future."

"..."

Nagato and Konan's expressions changed again.

Because they always thought this was Jiraiya's newly accepted disciple, and never imagined that this little guy was colluding with Uchiha Obito!

What on earth is going on?!

Let me introduce myself.

Akihara Kagura raised her pear juice, gesturing for a toast with Nagato: "I'm an undercover agent sent by Konoha to infiltrate Akatsuki..."

You're wrong!

Obito Uchiha's forehead twitched.

"Oh, I misspoke."

Akihara Kagura then realized her mistake and quickly repeated herself, "I'm an Akatsuki spy stationed in Konoha. I don't think I need to explain my other identities, right?"

"Aren't you Jiraiya's student?"

Nagato frowned.

"yes…"

Akihara Kagura nodded, then looked at Nagato and Konan, whose expressions were somewhat strange, and continued, "Aren't we all Jiraiya-sensei's disciples? There's nothing wrong with us all being in the same organization, is there?"

"..."

Nagato's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Isn't this the most wrong thing to do?

Because Akatsuki was the organization they founded, and because of Yahiko's death, they chose to follow Obito Uchiha's guidance and carry out a grand plan...

You bastard…

How did you end up joining the Akatsuki?

"Oh, right."

Akihara Kagura casually reminded them, "Last time, I went easy on you all, that's why I let you leave that base..."

"And these past few days, you've been hiding near this puppet's grave. I discovered your tracks long ago, but I still kept it from Jiraiya-sensei..."

"so…"

"The bill for two glasses of pear juice..."

"Could you two please settle this for me?"

As Akihara Kagura spoke, she casually pointed to the beverage shop where she had bought pear juice, and then to the shop owner who was looking around for customers to pay at the counter: "I was in such a rush that I think I forgot to pay..."

"..."

Xiao Nan took a deep breath and went to pay the bill for her junior brother.

"..."

Nagato felt somewhat helpless and could only reflect on his own experiences, asking Akihara Kagura, with empathy, why she wanted to join the Akatsuki: "Akihara Kagura, have you also experienced the pain this world has inflicted on you?"

"No, I'm quite happy."

Kagura Akihara shrugged and looked at Obito Uchiha beside her: "Because this guy killed a Konoha ninja and framed me, wanting me to join the Akatsuki organization to prevent more Konoha ninjas from being harmed, I simply joined directly."

Third update!

Go to bed early, everyone.

We finally made it before midnight!
