Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 154 Danzo, Now I am the leader of Root!

Danzo Shimura was dismissed from his post.

Danzo Shimura, standing beside Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagura Akihara, still believed that he would remain an advisor and elder of Konoha, just like Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, and that he would still be a high-ranking member of Konoha. He spoke to Kagura Akihara with the same condescending attitude.

"Kagura".

"The will of the root is the root of the root's existence."

"Even if you succeed Root, do not make any changes to the Root that I founded. Root ninjas were born to protect the darkness of Konoha..."

"I understand what Lord Danzo means, but..."

Akihara Kagura hesitated for a moment, glancing at Shimura Danzo, seemingly not wanting to hurt his pride: "Aren't the Root ninjas all useless these days?"

"What did you say?!"

Danzo Shimura's face immediately turned ugly.

"Back when I was with Root, I had just started learning Wood Release, and not a single person could last ten seconds against me..."

As Akihara Kagura was saying this, she happened to see a returning ANBU captain and casually gave an example: "Root can't even find anyone who can defeat Kakashi..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth in resentment.

Is Kakashi, the renowned Sharingan user in the ninja world, really weak? There are hardly any ninjas in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who are better than Kakashi Hatake!

and…

Who can be a match for you, little brat?

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't be a match for you!

"Hey, hey, hey, you bastard..."

Kakashi Hatake, holding an unconscious boy in his arms, was just about to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi when he heard Kagura Akihara slandering him: "While I may not be that great, you're making it sound like I'm terrible..."

You misheard me, I was praising you.

"That doesn't sound like a compliment..."

"Kakashi, this is..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted their conversation, looked at the boy in Kakashi Hatake's arms, frowned, and said, "I remember this child... is it Itachi Uchiha's younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha?"

"There's one fish left that slipped through the net..."

"Kagura!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped Kagura Akihara. He knew very well that the Uchiha clan was no longer a threat, with only Sasuke Uchiha remaining, so there was no need to do anything more.

even…

The Uchiha clan's bloodline limit is also very important to Konoha.

"I've been under a very strong illusion."

After examining the child, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately ordered, "Is this the only survivor? Get this child to the hospital first!"

"yes!"

Kakashi Hatake immediately picked up Sasuke and left.

"..."

Akihara Kagura no longer objected.

[System Notification]: [While suppressing the Uchiha clan's rebellion, Sasuke Uchiha's life was spared. Mission complete. Reward: Transfer Seal.]

[Translation Seal (This technique can be pre-set by making eye contact, allowing you to seal the technique in your own or your target's eyes using the Mangekyou Sharingan. When the conditions are met, the technique will automatically activate.)]

"Kakashi is an excellent ninja."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Kakashi Hatake and corrected Kagura Akihara's statement: "There are very few people in the village who can compare to Kakashi..."

Kagura Akihara didn't refute, and said softly, "I learned a lot of useful things under Captain Kakashi before, so I plan to train my subordinates in the same way Captain Kakashi does..."

"That won't do!"

Before Kagura could finish speaking, Shimura Danzo immediately objected: "Akihara Kagura, I am the founder of Root, there is no one more..."

"Lord Danzo."

Kagura Akihara interrupted Danzo Shimura, softly uttering a phrase that Danzo Shimura recognized all too well yet hated deeply: "Now I am the leader of Root. Back when I was in Root, I had long wanted to reform Root..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura's eyes narrowed slightly.

That brat!

However, it didn't matter. Shimura Danzo believed in his control over Root. The other Root ninjas still had cursed seals on their bodies and would still obey his orders!

Danzo.

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted his assistant on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I have relieved you of all your duties. You can go back and get some rest now."

"What?"

Danzo Shimura's eyes widened involuntarily.

However, Akihara Kagura had already understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant.

[System Notification]: Your superior (Shimura Danzo) has been removed.

This is Naruto...

One sentence is all it takes to get rid of all your bosses!

Kagura Akihara's only remaining superiors in Konoha are Hiruzen Sarutobi and her teacher, Jiraiya.

As for Danzo Shimura, he really doesn't know what he's doing.

This old man probably doesn't understand that this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi has stripped him of his positions as Hokage's assistant and leader of Root, meaning he will not be able to hold power for some time to come.

It's not because of anything else.

Because Konoha no longer faces internal or external troubles.

If Shimura Danzo continues to hold power, he will not only fail to provide nourishment for Konoha, but will become a pest that drains Konoha's resources.

of course.

Akihara Kagura will still respect Shimura Danzo.

After all, Shimura Danzo was the one who brought me back to Konoha, so I can't stop helping him just because the system doesn't give me a reward.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, cannot tolerate Danzo Shimura continuing to hold power in Konoha. So, let's help Lord Danzo find another position!

Before Akihara Kagura could say anything, Shimura Danzo stormed off, leaving the two Root ninjas who had been following him bewildered...

Danzo Shimura was indeed the controller of the cursed seal…

However, Akihara Kagura is quite famous in Root and is the current leader of Root. If she leaves with Danzo now, will she really not be beaten up by her new boss in the future?

Akihara Kagura wasn't a petty person, and she waved to them, saying, "You all take Lord Danzo home first, then report back to the Root base!"

"Yes, Lady Kagura!"

These two Root ninjas were already quite adept at shouting this phrase.

"..."

Danzo Shimura glanced coldly back at his former subordinate, suppressed his anger, and slowly left the place, leaning on his cane.

On his way home, Shimura Danzo ran into Uchiha Itachi, who had just caused a huge scene and was now coming to fulfill his promise to Shimura Danzo.

"Uchiha Itachi..."

The two Root ninjas immediately tensed up.

"I've come to you to fulfill my promise."

Uchiha Itachi looked at Shimura Danzo and said coldly, "Never hurt Sasuke. If you break your promise, I will leak Konoha's information to the enemy country."

"..."

Danzo Shimura was really having a headache.

Because he is no longer a high-ranking member of Konoha, but rather Akihara Kagura has become one, and given Akihara Kagura's attitude towards the Uchiha clan, Sasuke Uchiha's safety is truly uncertain...

"Akihara Kagura has replaced me as the leader of Root."

Danzo Shimura uttered a statement that sent chills down Itachi's spine before continuing, "If he dares to harm Sasuke, I will stop him..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were filled with suspicion.

If Akihara Kagura wanted to kill Sasuke, what could Shimura Danzo do to stop her?

Uchiha Itachi believed that he was strong enough tonight. Even with Susanoo and the Three-Tails under his control, he was still being crushed by Akihara Kagura. Who could stop that guy from killing people?

but…

There is one more person.

Uchiha Itachi remembered another person he wanted to see, and his body instantly transformed into crows, disappearing from Shimura Danzo's sight.

"He's a jerk too..."

After cursing under his breath, Shimura Danzo ordered the two Root ninja beside him, "Bring all the Sharingan I ordered you to return to the Root base to my house!"

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

Neither of the two Root ninjas dared to refute.

the other side.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, accompanied by Kagura Akihara, completed their inspection tour.

Only Sasuke Uchiha was found as a survivor of the entire Uchiha clan. The rest of the Uchiha clan members were probably killed, and some of their bodies could not even be found. They were likely destroyed by Itachi Uchiha's first Tailed Beast Ball.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagura Akihara returned to the Hokage Building, they both sensed someone hiding there, and Kagura Akihara raised her finger.

No need to ask any more questions.

This chakra feels familiar tonight.

"Kagura".

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, stopping Kagura Akihara's actions, and sighed, "Kagura, you should leave here first! I still have things to take care of."

"..."

Akihara Kagura frowned.

"Don't worry."

Hiruzen Sarutobi already knew that the person hiding here was Itachi Uchiha. He knew that Itachi's purpose in coming here was definitely not to assassinate him.

After all, Akihara Kagura is right here.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, still worried that Kagura Akihara and Itachi Uchiha might clash, continued, "So many things have happened tonight, you should go back and rest, Kagura, that's my order."

"..."

Akihara Kagura could only teleport away from the spot.

As soon as Akihara Kagura left, Uchiha Itachi appeared instantly, kneeling on one knee behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, as if he were still the ninja who was loyal to Konoha.

"I already guessed what would happen."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and continued, "Regardless, I should thank you first. At least after tonight, Konoha has avoided civil war and maintained peace in the village."

"only…"

"I still have some regrets."

"I've always had the highest hopes for you and Kagura, because you've always been good at thinking, while Kagura is a bit impulsive. I thought that the two of you would be able to work together to become pillars of Konoha in the future, and I even arranged for you to become his teammate..."

"sorry."

Itachi Uchiha apologized in a low voice.

"I thought Kagura was extreme enough..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't turn around, but said with some sadness, "I didn't expect your actions to be even more extreme than his... I'm the one who should apologize. It's all my fault for not finding a way to deal with the Uchiha and Konoha in time, making your generation bear the burden of our mistakes. You should all be the future of Konoha..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha lowered his head deeply.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped lamenting and began to discuss his handling of Itachi Uchiha: "Starting tomorrow, Konoha will consider you a rogue ninja who murdered his clan, and you will be placed on a wanted list for a trial period, with no regard for life or death..."

"That's only natural."

Itachi Uchiha did not refute.

"What are you planning to do?"

"This time, I got help from Obito Uchiha. He asked me to join an organization called Akatsuki. I plan to follow Obito and investigate him and Akatsuki..."

Itachi Uchiha mentioned the Akatsuki organization and even planned his future, intending to follow Obito Uchiha as a rogue ninja.

"Obito..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed again.

As they were talking about Obito Uchiha, they had no idea that Obito was watching them from not far away, and that there was another person also watching from there.

"This is a spy who infiltrated our Akatsuki..."

Akihara Kagura chuckled softly as she stood beside Uchiha Obito.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi sent Kagura Akihara away, he found Obito Uchiha and came here specifically to watch a good show.

"Hmph, whatever."

Obito Uchiha didn't care and sneered, "Anyway, we're short-handed. Itachi Uchiha is just a pawn to capture the tailed beasts..."

Obito Uchiha was more concerned about Kagura Akihara in front of him: "However, you're really terrifying. Perhaps even Madara Uchiha, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, wouldn't be a match for you..."

"Who knows..."

Akihara Kagura will not be careless.

The threats to this world have never disappeared.

Even the one that always floats with only half its body has a terrifying threat behind it, one that even Akihara Kagura has to be wary of.

"alright."

After Obito Uchiha entered the space-time vortex, he disappeared, leaving only the words: "Don't forget your promise. I'll go to the agreed location and wait for him."

"We're leaving too, Kagura."

Jue's figure slowly sank into the ground.

"..."

Akihara Kagura nodded and vanished from the spot in an instant.

Upstairs from the Hokage.

Itachi Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi were still exchanging words.

Itachi Uchiha was extremely worried about Sasuke Uchiha's safety, hoping that nothing bad would happen to his younger brother: "I'm worried that Kagura will hold a grudge against me for what I did..."

"I'll keep an eye on him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reassured Itachi Uchiha, saying softly, "Your younger brother might hate you even more now. Kagura won't hurt him, and I'll also tell Kagura to give up on revenge against you, so you don't run into any trouble with him..."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Itachi Uchiha lowered his head and thanked him, only then feeling relieved.

However, when Itachi Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi finished their conversation and were about to leave the Hokage Building to meet Obito Uchiha at the agreed location, they encountered the person they least wanted to see as they went downstairs.

Akihara Kagura.

Akihara Kagura seemed to have been there the whole time, never leaving. She only spoke when she saw Uchiha Itachi come downstairs: "I was hoping you could stage a great assassination attempt on the Hokage, so I could kill you without any real trouble..."

First update!

This isn't over yet!
