Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 150 Wood Release and Sharingan! Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi!

It was evening.

Just as Akihara Kagura said, something really big is about to happen in Konoha.

Nanga Shrine.

The Uchiha clan members entered the area in groups, each with a resolute and solemn expression on their face, especially Fugaku Uchiha, whose expression was particularly determined.

When Fugaku Uchiha learned that Kagura Akihara had been promoted to Hokage's bodyguard and assistant, he immediately understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision and decided to launch a coup while the clan was united to seize power in Konoha.

At this Uchiha clan gathering, the Uchiha clan once again unanimously passed the resolution to launch a coup, and Uchiha Fugaku did not show any opposition.

Only Itachi Uchiha looked like he was struggling.

Because he disagreed with his father's opinion.

Just after the gathering ended, Fugaku Uchiha suddenly called out to his son, "Itachi, don't rush to leave. I have something to talk to you about."

After speaking, Fugaku Uchiha led his son to a stone tablet that had stood at the Naka Shrine for generations: "This stone tablet has been passed down through the Uchiha clan. It is said to contain the inscription carved by the Sage of Six Paths, and only those in the clan with the Sharingan can read it..."

"..."

Fugaku Uchiha looked at the stone tablet and continued, "However, those who possess the Mangekyou Sharingan can read even more..."

Do you want me to tell you?

Itachi Uchiha's eyes turned completely blood red.

"No need."

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head and turned his head slightly so that his son could see his eyes. They were a pair of strange Sharingan, clearly Mangekyou Sharingan!

"Kaleidoscope Sharingan..."

Itachi Uchiha discovers his father's eyes for the first time!

For a long time, Fugaku Uchiha was like an ordinary Uchiha ninja, with the arrogance of the Uchiha clan, making it impossible for others to see his talent and ability.

Nobody expected this...

Fugaku Uchiha was incredibly patient!

Despite being the head of his clan, he concealed his power, unwilling to let his clan members know about it, and the higher-ups of Konoha were even more unaware of his information!

"During the Third Shinobi World War, my friend saved me at the cost of his life. Amidst blood and tears, I obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

Fugaku Uchiha looked down at the stone tablet in front of him. He could read the contents of the tablet and even see the history it contained: "Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, I can't read the words on the back of the tablet. It seems our bloodline limit can go even further..."

"but…"

"This part alone is enough..."

"Konoha has always been wary of our clan's power. You've also seen the hostility towards the Uchiha within Konoha. Unless they change, there's no way we can change anything..."

"Especially when the Third Hokage announced that kid Akihara Kagura would become his bodyguard and assistant, I finally understood what the higher-ups' attitude was. In the future, the village will continue to be hostile to the Uchiha and continue to persecute our clan..."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi was unable to refute this.

"I offended Akihara Kagura first."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and earnestly explained the whole story between him and Akihara Kagura: "Akihara Kagura came from the Konoha Orphanage and always respected the orphanage's director, Yakushi Nonou, and his friend Yakushi Kabuto. I went to carry out a mission for Shimura Danzo and almost killed them..."

"Itachi!"

Fugaku Uchiha stared at his son, shook his head, and said, "At this point, there's no point in saying anything more. We must fight for a future for the Uchiha clan..."

"I've been hiding the fact that I possess the Mangekyou Sharingan because I was worried that my clan would force me to launch a coup sooner. I wanted to see changes in Konoha's leadership, so I delayed until now..."

"Now…"

There is no other way.

"There is no other way but to choose a coup."

"This is not your fault alone, Itachi. This ending was already destined when the Second Hokage isolated our Uchiha clan from Konoha."

"These eyes exist so that the Uchiha won't be powerless to regret protecting those they care about. Now it's time to use these eyes..."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi remained silent for a moment, then suddenly uttered a strange idea: "What if I kill Akihara Kagura? If I kill Akihara Kagura, there's still room for reconciliation between the Uchiha and Konoha, right?"

"..."

Fugaku Uchiha looked at him with disbelief, as if he were seeing his own son for the first time: "You're going to kill Akihara Kagura?"

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head and said softly, "Since you already have murderous intent towards the people of the village, why not choose to support the Uchiha in launching a coup? He is a candidate for the next Hokage of Konoha; killing him would be no different from launching a coup..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha remained silent for a while before offering his thoughts: "At least this way, there's still a possibility of peace in the future, and there won't be any more sacrifices..."

"Assassinating that brat won't be easy."

Fugaku Uchiha looked at his son and said in a deep voice, "Kagura Akihara's Wood Release has become powerful enough to rival the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

"I will do it."

Uchiha Itachi knelt on one knee before his father, bowing his head, and said, "Would this prevent Father from staging another coup within the clan?"

"..."

This time, it was Fugaku Uchiha's turn to remain silent.

The clan head, who had been struggling to keep the Uchiha clan afloat, finally didn't lie to his son: "Itachi, the flames have caught fire on the thick straw; they can't be extinguished by someone pouring a bucket of cold water on them. If you can kill Akihara Kagura, the Uchiha clan will be much more confident when they stage a coup..."

"One Akihara Kagura can't change the overall situation..."

"With the Konoha leadership nominating him as a Hokage candidate at this time, they will have no more compromises with the Uchiha clan. They will undoubtedly continue to persecute the Uchiha clan until its annihilation..."

This also means…

Fugaku Uchiha will not change his mind.

Regardless of whether Itachi Uchiha killed Kagura Akihara, this coup was unstoppable and was something the Uchiha clan was destined to carry out.

Fugaku Uchiha looked at his son and whispered, "Itachi, you are my son. Please, help the clan..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha lowered his head in anguish.

It was getting later and later.

The father and son each left the Nanga Shrine.

A team of Root ninjas appeared beside Itachi Uchiha and asked, "Captain, you're later than usual today. Did something happen?"

"I need to report important intelligence to higher-ups."

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were still bloodshot. He slowly closed his eyes, burying his pain deep inside.

Inside the Hokage Building.

A group of high-ranking officials from Konoha sat here.

They were all waiting for Itachi Uchiha to send important news, and also discussing matters concerning the Uchiha clan. Akihara Kagura stood behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Because Akihara Kagura will be an absolute force against the Uchiha clan, she cannot be absent under any circumstances, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also wants to take this opportunity to teach Akihara Kagura a lesson.

however…

Something seems off.

"I think Lord Danzo makes a lot of sense."

"Why not just wipe out the Uchiha clan altogether? Why continue to compromise with them and wait for a peace that can never be guaranteed..."

Yes.

Akihara Kagura strongly agreed with Shimura Danzo's opinion.

This left Shimura Danzo with very mixed feelings. This kid wasn't actually that unlikeable; he had indeed been influenced by him when he was in Root…

No wonder…

No wonder the monkey keeps blaming himself for influencing Akihara Kagura.

Danzo Shimura's thought returned, and he asked, "Kagura, do you want to return to Root?"

"Shut up!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted Danzo Shimura with a single sentence.

Just then, a sliding door slowly opened, and an ANBU member came to report: Itachi Uchiha had come to report on the information for tonight.

"The Uchiha clan..."

"They want to stage a coup."

Uchiha Itachi knelt on one knee in front of everyone.

"The situation is urgent!"

Danzo Shimura squinted, finally finding an opportunity: "We must strike first before they rebel!"

"The Uchiha were, after all, former comrades-in-arms..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and continued in a deep voice, "I still want to resolve the issue through communication rather than resorting to force. I'll think of a solution."

however…

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't think of a better way either.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was very calm, because Akihara Kagura was right behind him, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was already absolutely confident in resolving the Uchiha clan's coup.

After this report concluded.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stayed at the Hokage Building with Kagura Akihara, intending to teach her some techniques while continuing to improve their strength and devising a solution to the coup.

"This is a magical technique left behind by the first master."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled out a scroll and handed it to Kagura Akihara: "It would be best if you could master one or two of these in the next few days. In case a battle really breaks out, you might need to use the power of Wood Release, since Wood Release is the nemesis of the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

"Should I go and kill Uchiha Itachi?"

Akihara Kagura reached out and took the scroll, saying softly, "Before Jiraiya-sensei took me away from the village for training, Uchiha Itachi must have already gained new power..."

"Uchiha Itachi was a pacifist."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and solemnly lectured his successor: "Kagura, don't harbor any malice towards Itachi Uchiha because of the past. Those things were mistakes made by Danzo Shimura, and Itachi was also a victim..."

"I hope so."

Akihara Kagura looked down at the scroll in her hand.

This scroll records many ninjutsu techniques, including the "Sage Art: Myojinmon" needed to seal the tailed beasts. Clearly, the Third Hokage was also worried that the Uchiha clan had controlled the tailed beasts.

Other than that.

There's also the technique that Akihara Kagura most desires.

[System Notification]: The [Ninja Professor] trait has been activated. The host's chakra level has reached SSS level, enabling the activation of Sage Mode. The [Sage Art: Myojinmon] currently being studied conforms to ninjutsu theory. [Sage Art: Myojinmon] has been successfully learned!

【Sage Art: Myōjinmon (This technique uses Sage Chakra to summon a number of torii gates to seal the opponent. Its sealing ability is exceptionally powerful and can easily suppress tailed beasts!)】

[System Notification]: The [Ninja Professor] trait has been activated. The host possesses the Wood Release bloodline limit, and the chakra level has reached SSS rank, enabling the activation of Sage Mode. The [Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands] technique currently being learned conforms to ninjutsu theory. [Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands] has been successfully learned!

[Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands (Can only be activated in Sage Mode. The user clasps their hands together to summon a statue of Kannon with countless giant arms. The statue can attack enemies with thousands of enormous fists, each capable of easily shattering mountain rocks!)]

"..."

Akihara Kagura's eyes flickered slightly.

The scroll didn't describe the power of the True Several Thousand Hands in great detail; it only noted that this sage technique was a method to suppress the Nine-Tails' rampage...

The First Hokage…

Isn't that a bit too modest?

Such a powerful technique is only used to suppress the Nine-Tails' rampage? A simple wooden dummy would be enough to hold the Nine-Tails' head down and smash it around!

Is it difficult?

Hiruzen Sarutobi even took the initiative to ask Kagura Akihara a question.

"fine."

Akihara Kagura shook her head.

"I'll think of something."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a headache coming on.

So how exactly should we communicate with the Uchiha clan?

If it's just a simple concession, the Uchiha clan, which is about to riot, will definitely be dissatisfied; if it's a large-scale concession, other clans and high-ranking members of the village will also be dissatisfied.

"Let me take another look at these techniques..."

Akihara Kagura nodded and watched Sarutobi Hiruzen leave.

White Zetsu Awei suddenly emerged from the floor and said, "Young man, after your meeting, Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Itachi seemed to have talked about something. He asked Uchiha Itachi to kill everyone in the Uchiha clan to stop the coup. He said he could save Itachi's younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke. Otherwise, the Third Hokage and you would destroy the Uchiha clan together. Itachi seems to have agreed..."

"oh."

Akihara Kagura indicated that she understood.

This matter was never beyond Akihara Kagura's prediction.

Danzo Shimura always liked to use the Uchiha clan to deal with the Uchiha clan.

The origin of this massacre of the Uchiha clan lies in the fact that Danzo Shimura seduced Itachi Uchiha. Itachi Uchiha arrogantly believed that he had resolved the peace between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, that he had preserved the Uchiha bloodline, and that he had presumptuously arranged the fate of his younger brother.

"I warned him a long time ago."

Kagura Akihara had long foreseen Itachi Uchiha's fate.

Long ago, Akihara Kagura, out of consideration for their past as teammates, had given Uchiha Itachi both overt and covert warnings.

Even during the Iwagakure incident, Akihara Kagura explicitly told Uchiha Itachi to abandon Shimura Danzo's mission and not to kill Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nono, who were very important to him, but instead to go with him to Iwagakure to rescue Hatake Kakashi.

However, Itachi Uchiha regarded the lives of Kabuto Yakushi and Nono Yakushi as the price for gaining Danzo Shimura's trust, and even though he sensed Danzo's darkness, he was willing to sink deeper and deeper into it.

This guy doesn't care about the lives of the important people around Akihara Kagura, and has never cared about Akihara Kagura as a teammate!

If I had to say...

In fact, the two of them had been enemies for a long time!

Akihara Kagura was already being quite lenient with Uchiha Itachi out of consideration for Hatake Kakashi!

"He chose to jump into the abyss himself. Now that he's jumped in, he shouldn't even dream of escaping the darkness for the rest of his life."

After Akihara Kagura finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "Wei, is Obito still in Konoha?"

"Um."

"Obito has returned to the Naka Shrine."

White Zetsu Awei nodded and said, "It seems Obito really likes Uchiha Itachi. I still don't understand how Uchiha Itachi is so much better than you?"

"Who told Itachi Uchiha to be a member of the Uchiha clan?"

"Anyway, that guy will never like us..."

Akihara Kagura chuckled and replied, casually taking credit for Itachi Uchiha's defection: "Now, go immediately and tell Obito Uchiha that there will be results soon regarding his request to force Itachi Uchiha to defect..."

"Apart from this."

"I still need his help. The Nine-Tails' attack might not be able to happen again, and he might not be able to break the seal on Naruto. I am the future Hokage of Konoha, and I don't want the village to suffer any more losses..."

"However, before the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Yagura, is sent away tomorrow, the Third Hokage, to avoid displeasing the Mizukage, released the seal placed on that Three-Tails Jinchuriki. A Three-Tails rampage is possible; didn't he control Yagura before?"

"or…"

"It's also possible to control Yagura with another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan."

"That Itachi Uchiha promised Danzo Shimura to slaughter his own clan, so he definitely can't stay in Konoha anymore, right? Obito Uchiha can just recruit Itachi Uchiha into the Akatsuki organization and have him help with the first task..."

"Oh, and don't forget to remind Obito Uchiha not to reveal my identity."

"Itachi Uchiha could never be loyal to him. At most, he would become a spy in Akatsuki, a spy from Konoha placed in Akatsuki, just like I was an Akatsuki spy in Konoha..."

"Huh? Is that okay?"

Bai Zetsu Awei hesitated for a moment, then smiled and asked, "I overheard that Uchiha Itachi was willing to kill his entire clan; how could he possibly dare to control the Three-Tails and cause chaos in Konoha?"

"That's none of our business."

"Give him any reason you want, test my power, test Itachi Uchiha's abilities."

"I just want a result."

Akihara Kagura gave White Zetsu a deep look and said in a deep voice, "I will quell the Three-Tails' rampage."

"This will earn me everyone's respect, make me a hero of Konoha, and help me become Hokage in the future. Tonight, a real show will unfold, just like the destiny of Wood Release and Sharingan many years ago..."

"Some have become rogue ninjas."

"Someone has become a hero."
