Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 153 Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!

"As you can see."

Itachi Uchiha's expression was indifferent.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha seemed to have become a different person. Standing atop the Three-Tails' head, he coldly surveyed the ruins of the clan's territory and said, "I killed all the Uchiha to test the power I had gained."

"ha?"

Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Itachi, a smile playing on her lips: "You've stolen what I wanted to do again. I've wanted to kill the Uchiha clan for a long time..."

"but…"

"You killed so many people..."

"Have we forgotten about the few who slipped through the net?"

"What?"

Itachi Uchiha frowned.

The night of the extermination did not go very smoothly, because when he was killing people, he saw that in some families only a strong adult man was left, while the old people and children had all hidden away.

I just used the Tailed Beast Ball on the Three-Tails; I should be able to kill everyone who's hiding, right? After all, the Uchiha clan territory isn't that big…

Could it be that Akihara Kagura could sense that a living person was also present?

Just as Itachi Uchiha was pondering, Kagura Akihara's gaze fell upon Itachi: "I'm talking about you, the one who slipped through the net, Itachi Uchiha..."

The words fell.

Akihara Kagura controlled the wooden doll and charged forward!

Uchiha Itachi controlled the Three-Tails beneath him and charged forward, only to be helplessly watched as the Three-Tails was pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by the wooden puppet!

"..."

For the first time, Itachi Uchiha truly felt the inadequacy of the tailed beasts.

If the tailed beasts only have this much power, even if the Uchiha clan rebelled and controlled the tailed beasts, they would only be beaten down by Akihara Kagura!

On a high platform in the distance.

Obito Uchiha watched the battle unfold.

Zetsu's figure slowly emerged and stood beside Obito Uchiha.

Black Zetsu watched this scene, seemingly having anticipated it: "The Three-Tails' power is still no match for the Nine-Tails', and it's unlikely to defeat Kagura's Wood Release: Wood Release unless Itachi uses Susanoo to strengthen the Three-Tails..."

"Susanoo - Mighty Three-Tails!"

A red armor appeared on the Three-Tails' body!

Uchiha Itachi had no time to think any further and could only quickly manipulate his Susanoo to cover the Three-Tails, barely managing to drape it in a layer of scale-like armor!

The power of the Three-Tails suddenly changed!

This three-tailed turtle has an additional shield-like pattern on its shell. Whenever the wooden man punches down, that shield pattern will generate a counterattack force!

I have to say…

Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo is a perfect match for the Three-Tails.

Because Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo and the Three-Tails are both known for their defensive capabilities, the Three-Tails' body is covered with thorns, and Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo possesses a Yata Mirror, which can deflect some attacks with physical forms!

Kagura Akihara could clearly feel waves of trembling power coming from the wooden doll's fists, and each punch would reflect the same force back onto the wooden doll!

"You really do look like this turtle..."

Akihara Kagura's hands slowly closed together!

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

Uchiha Itachi didn't wait for Akihara Kagura's next move. Once he had the advantage in defense, he immediately launched a counterattack. A bright light suddenly appeared in the mouth of the Three-Tails!

This bright light also contained the chakra of the Three-Tails, which was the power released by the fusion of the Yasakani no Magatama of Susanoo and the Tailed Beast Ball chakra!

This is even more powerful than the Tailed Beast Ball!

The wooden figure opened its palm, grasped the Yasakani no Magatama, and placed its hand on the Three-Tails' body, causing a violent explosion to resound!

The light was dazzling, like the sun!

"Is your hand broken?"

Akihara Kagura frowned, looking at the shield-like armor on the Three-Tails: "Is your defense that strong?"

"..."

Uchiha Itachi immediately sensed an opportunity, manipulating the armored Three-Tails to pounce on the wooden doll, biting its broken arm as if he could tear it apart!

"Do you want to bite off the wooden dummy's hand?"

Akihara Kagura's palms slowly formed a cross, and natural energy instantly surged into his body, allowing him to enter Sage Mode in an instant!

"Immortal Technique: True Thousand Hands!"

Tree roots instantly sprouted from beneath the wooden figure!

A huge wooden statue of Guanyin appeared beneath the wooden figure. Compared to this statue, the enormous wooden figure appeared tiny and could only sit on top of the statue's head!

Behind this wooden Guanyin statue, countless enormous arms stretched out!

"That is..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived with his ANBU troops, and upon seeing this scene, his pupils involuntarily contracted: "So that's the True Several Thousand Hands recorded on the scroll...?"

Are you kidding me?!

The wooden statue of Guanyin with thousands of hands was larger than all the statues erected in Konoha. The armored Three-Tails controlled by Itachi Uchiha looked like a toy!

Compared to the size of a Tailed Beast, a ninja's body is like a toy; however, compared to the size of a Tailed Beast, the size of a wooden statue of Kannon with the True Thousand Hands is like a toy!

To put it bluntly...

Hiruzen Sarutobi would never doubt that the True Several Thousand Hands technique, once it collapsed, would be enough to deal a devastating blow to Konoha, not to mention that the technique had not even been unleashed yet!

Why is this technique, which is almost capable of destroying the world, recorded on the scroll as a technique to counter the Nine-Tails? Although the Nine-Tails also has the power to destroy Konoha, it seems somewhat incomparable to the size of the True Thousand Hands.

The First Hokage...

Was I being too modest when recording my techniques?

"Kagura!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi could only shout a warning, hoping to alert Kagura Akihara, who was controlling the True Thousand Hands: "Don't harm Konoha! Hold the battle outside the village!"

"Don't worry, Third Generation."

Akihara Kagura's voice echoed down, completely unconcerned about the trouble: "This battle will be over in just a few seconds..."

After Akihara Kagura finished speaking, an arm stretched out from behind the True Thousand Hands Kannon statue and directly grabbed the Mighty Three-Tails on the ground. The Three-Tails' body was directly grabbed in the Kannon statue's hand, as if it were holding a small doll!

The feeling of weightlessness beneath Itachi's feet caused a sense of panic to rise in his heart. He stared at the wooden statue of Guanyin in disbelief!

this moment…

Itachi Uchiha felt as if he had traveled back to the past!

Three years ago, during the Chunin Exams, he met Akihara Kagura, but he was directly defeated by the massive wooden dragon during the exam!

Now that he has obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan, he never expected that Akihara Kagura would possess an even more powerful Wood Release technique!

A wooden statue of Guanyin with thousands of hands...

It gives people an involuntary sense of oppression just by looking at it!

There are probably not many people in the current ninja world who have seen this level of technique. Even seeing the size of Susanoo would be amazing, let alone seeing the True Thousand Hands Kannon statue, which is countless times larger than Susanoo!

This Guanyin statue can subdue the three-tailed demon with just one hand!

"How is that possible..."

Black Zetsu appeared even more panicked than Obito Uchiha, wondering if he had misremembered the time: "How could this be possible?!"

That Akihara Kagura guy…

It really does seem to be the body of an immortal!

Otherwise, how could he possibly use a technique of this level? This is a technique that only the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, could use!

Even if either Itachi or Sasuke Uchiha awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, they still wouldn't be a match for Kagura Akihara!

This Akihara Kagura…

How could this Akihara Kagura possibly be...?

How could Akihara Kagura be this powerful!

Black Zetsu immediately began to calculate the matter it had been paying attention to for a long time with a sinister look. It still felt that something was not quite right. No matter how it calculated Akihara Kagura's age, it didn't match. Could this brat be the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths?

after all…

Akihara Kagura's extreme actions don't seem like those simple, stubborn, and foolish Ashura chakra possessors at all; his temperament doesn't fit either!

but…

Without a doubt...

Akihara Kagura is a more suitable vessel for the Rinnegan than Nagato, and perhaps even more suitable than Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha to host the Eye of the Moon Project…

"Is this Wood Release?"

Obito Uchiha felt like his eyes were about to bulge out!

no…

Is Wood Release really that powerful?

How did Madara Uchiha survive?

Akihara Kagura is way too strong!

If it weren't for the unique space-time eye technique of his Mangekyou Sharingan, he would have been brutally beaten to death by this brat long ago!

"I'm going to save Itachi."

A space-time vortex flashed in Obito Uchiha's eye sockets, causing his body to teleport away from its original spot and reappear above the Three-Tails' head.

"Let's go!"

Obito Uchiha reached out and pressed down on Itachi Uchiha's shoulder, looking at the statue of Kannon holding the Three-Tails with one hand, and said in a deep voice, "You are still no match for Akihara Kagura..."

"Every surgical technique has its drawbacks..."

After observing the Guanyin statue for a while, Itachi Uchiha concluded that its weakness lay with the jutsu master, Kagura Akihara, who controlled it from above…

however…

No matter what, he couldn't break through the opponent's defense.

"There's no need to continue fighting."

Obito shook his head, causing Itachi to vanish from his spot in an instant: "Even if you have a way to break this, the people of Konoha will surround us..."

When Itachi Uchiha disappeared, the Susanoo armor on the Three-Tails also disappeared. The hand of the Guanyin statue grasped the Three-Tails and almost instantly absorbed all of its chakra. The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, fell into a deep sleep in the palm of the True Several Thousand Hands.

"It's not dangerous at all..."

Akihara Kagura waved her hand, dispersing the thousands of hands of the Kannon statue.

next moment.

A group of people gathered around Akihara Kagura!

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief. His biggest worry was that the Uchiha clan's actions would cause Konoha to suffer too much damage. The Three-Tails' rampage tonight had really given the old man a lot of trouble. Fortunately, he had taught the First Hokage's technique to Kagura Akihara in advance.

"Well done."

Looking at the ruins of the Uchiha clan compound and the corpses strewn across the ground, Hiruzen Sarutobi commanded in a deep voice, "Seal off this place immediately, retrieve all the bodies, and do not allow a single Sharingan to escape!"

"clear!"

The group of secret agents immediately scattered!

"It was all done by Itachi Uchiha."

Akihara Kagura glanced at the ruins and then at the shadowy figure within them, muttering softly, "Looks like this guy struck first and wiped out the entire Uchiha clan..."

"What exactly is going on?"

"I had a talk with him."

Danzo Shimura walked over and said slowly, "It seems Itachi Uchiha made the right choice and stood on our side. I've already sent members of Root to the Konoha Police Department to retrieve the body..."

"Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face immediately fell. Looking at the devastated Uchiha clan territory, he sternly rebuked, "It's all because I've been too lenient with you that this has led to this situation. From today onwards, I'm severing your authority as Hokage's assistant and dismantling your Root organization..."

"Hokage-sama!"

Kagura Akihara stopped Hiruzen Sarutobi and said softly, "Lord Danzo was ultimately acting in Konoha's best interests. Besides, Lord Danzo's plan today did indeed cause the Uchiha clan to fight each other and perish, resolving the Uchiha clan's problem and preventing the village from suffering even greater losses..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura developed a slight liking for Kagura Akihara.

Although this brat deceived me, he has at least received my instruction and quite approves of my way of doing things...

however…

When Akihara Kagura got to this point, she changed the subject, saying, "Although Lord Danzo made mistakes, Root has made many contributions to Konoha. There's no need to abolish it, is there? I've always wanted to become the leader of Root, to use my power to protect Konoha from the shadows..."

"You little rascal!"

A flash of anger crossed Shimura Danzo's eyes!

This brat is really eyeing my roots. If I don't give them to you, you can't take them! But does this brat think that just because he's become the leader of the roots, he can lead them?

Danzo Shimura suddenly realized that he could make Kagura Akihara the leader of Root, thus secretly continuing to control Root, and even influencing Kagura Akihara through Root...

after all…

Having witnessed Akihara Kagura's power firsthand, Shimura Danzo's desire to exploit her rekindled, for she possessed a power capable of easily destroying a nation!

"The roots must not be disintegrated!"

Danzo Shimura glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and argued, "I can step down to the sidelines as an advisor, and let Kagura Akihara take over as leader of Root... Anyway, I'm already old, and the Uchiha have been dealt with in the village..."

I want to give it a try.

Kagura Akihara looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and volunteered, "Third Hokage, this has always been my ideal. I want to protect Konoha from the shadows..."

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't too keen on it. He glanced at the unconscious Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and said softly, "Today you resolved the trouble caused by the Three-Tails; you're a hero of the village..."

"but…"

"The roots still need to exist."

Kagura Akihara looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and made her request: "I just want to... correct the mistakes left behind by Lord Danzo, and prevent the things that happened to Kabuto Yakushi and Dean Nonou Yakushi from happening again in the village in the future."

"..."

Danzo Shimura was so angry that his fingers trembled slightly.

Is this brat trying to take over Root so that things like what happened between Kabuto and Nonou Yakushi can't happen again? If Root ninjas develop feelings, can they still be used as tools?

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Kagura Akihara an appreciative look, thinking that Kagura had surprisingly come up with a not-so-extreme, even excellent, idea: "If that's the case, then during the time Danzo is dismissed, Root will be handed over to you for now."

Bonds.

That is the eternal topic in the ninja world.

Kagura Akihara mentioned Kabuto Yakushi and Nono Yakushi, clearly indicating her intention to eradicate the root disease within Root and allow its members to also have bonds.

Once you have this idea, you've already grasped a bit of the Naruto mindset.

Hiruzen Sarutobi greatly admired Kagura Akihara's attitude towards bonds and took the initiative to say, "Kagura, don't disappoint me in the future. However, you should continue to stay by my side and serve as my assistant, discussing village affairs on behalf of Danzo..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura gripped his cane tightly.

This brat…

Has he taken my place?

This brat he brought into Konoha himself...

So you've taken my place in Konoha?

Third update

I've basically finished today, I'll continue tomorrow!

I'm starting to lose my composure...

From God's perspective, Kagura was indeed unharmed, but from the perspective of Kabuto Yakushi, an ordinary person, he hated the Uchiha clan to the core...

Kagura has already been very generous.
