Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 172 A Brand New Mining Method, the Real Reason for Danzo's Defection!

On the Hokage Rock.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gradually spent more and more time here.

Konoha will never lack defecting ninjas, nor will it ever lack people who are saddened by leaving Konoha because of their own bonds.

This time it was the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's turn.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel anxious and worried every day, fearing that Danzo Shimura might make a big mistake, that Danzo Shimura might sacrifice Konoha's interests for his own benefit, and that he might have to kill Danzo Shimura in the future, disregarding past friendships.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood on the Hokage Rock, contemplating the battle between the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, recalling the First Hokage's ruthless killing of Madara.

"Lord Hokage."

Kakashi Hatake knelt on one knee behind Hiruzen Sarutobi and whispered, "The wanted poster has been released."

"it is good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

The official information from Konoha is undoubtedly credible.

The news that Shimura Danzo had become a Konoha rogue ninja spread throughout Konoha and even the entire ninja world. This news had little effect on ordinary villagers, but it was undoubtedly a shocking piece of news for the Jonin of Konoha.

Because there are many things in Konoha that cannot be completely concealed, Hiruzen Sarutobi simply revealed the three crimes committed by Danzo Shimura, taking the opportunity to quell the resentment in the village.

The first crime was that Danzo Shimura conspired with Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha to harm the Uchiha clan, and the three of them secretly plotted to steal the Sharingan from the Uchiha clan.

This is undeniable.

Because Danzo Shimura did indeed do this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer wanted to keep the secret from Danzo Shimura.

The second crime was that Shimura Danzo conducted unauthorized and illegal human experiments related to the Sharingan, intending to obtain a more powerful bloodline limit.

Because the impact of Hashirama's cells was too great, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to delete this clause to avoid causing more controversy, even though most of the upper-class ninjas in Konoha already knew about it.

The third crime was that Shimura Danzo led his men in a private attack on the Hidden Mist ninja, intending to provoke a war between Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village.

This matter was approved by Kirigakure.

After all, Kirigakure is an ally of Konoha, and it's necessary to consider the feelings of an ally. This matter did indeed greatly anger Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had always treated allies with a policy of appeasement. Danzo Shimura's actions undoubtedly contradicted the Hokage's policies.

These charges…

That's enough to provoke the anger of the people of Konoha.

Over the years, Danzo Shimura had remained hidden within Root, his reputation in the village relatively unknown. Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions, however, made Danzo Shimura a household name in Konoha.

Inside the dessert shop.

A group of ninjas were still discussing Shimura Danzo.

Might Guy looked at the wanted poster in the handbook, a hint of regret in his voice: "I even applied to join Danzo's Anbu back then..."

"That's the root."

Genma Shiranui, a senbon needle dangling from his lips, muttered nonchalantly, "Oh well, Danzo Shimura has already defected. The harm he caused is too great; he has to be killed... but killing that guy won't be easy; he still has many subordinates!"

"We must get rid of him!"

"He killed so many people!"

"They even want to start a war! How can that be allowed!"

The group of Konoha ninjas having afternoon tea immediately became excited.

Most of these Konoha ninjas had never met Shimura Danzo, and they didn't even know the story between the Konoha high-ranking officials and the Uchiha clan. However, they still considered the Uchiha as comrades and especially hated Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Itachi!

Some people hate…

Naturally, some people will feel regret.

root base.

There were no more of Shimura Danzo's subordinates at this base.

The only trace left by Shimura Danzo is that he was the founder of Root, or that he was once the mentor of the current Root leader, Akihara Kagura.

Kagura Akihara remained seated on the corridor railing, gazing at the dark abyss of the Root base. She seemed to be grieving over Danzo Shimura's defection but unable to express it in words, and also marveling at the rewards she had reaped.

[System Notification]: [The mission to rescue advisor Mitokado Homura and the allied forces of Kirigakure (Hiruzen Sarutobi) has been completed. Reward: Five Elements Unlocking]

[Five Elements Unsealing (This method utilizes the mutual generation of the five elements to unseal the five elements, allowing the recipient to regain the ability to unleash ninjutsu.)]

This reward isn't entirely useless.

Kagura Akihara once obtained the Five Elements Seal from Jiraiya. The Five Elements Seal can seal the chakra of Jinchuriki, and it seems that it can also seal the chakra of other people. Now he has obtained the method of unsealing the Five Elements Seal from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

That's normal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has a lot of different kinds of minerals on his body.

However, Akihara Kagura, having followed Jiraiya, had already learned many Fire Release techniques in a different way. Since becoming a high-ranking member of Konoha, Akihara Kagura could learn any ninjutsu she wanted directly, and could freely learn any techniques except for forbidden ones.

Having a way to break the seal is better than nothing.

Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi's rewards.

The rewards given to Nagato and Obito Uchiha were rather strange.

Since both Nagato and Akihara Kagura possessed temporary Rinnegan and were disciples of Jiraiya, Akihara Kagura had mastered at least as many techniques as Nagato. Their abilities were roughly the same, and neither of them had any special abilities to acquire.

Besides the abilities of the descendants of the vortex…

It seems there's no other reward we can give him?

[System Notification]: [The issue of Shimura Danzo and the pursuing ninja forces investigating the Akatsuki (Nagato) has been resolved. Chakra level increased as a reward.]

[System Notification]: [The host can synthesize SSSS-level chakra.]

Chakra can be increased!

Akihara Kagura immediately felt the increase in her life force!

This means that as your abilities become more and more similar to your boss's, the less treasure your boss can uncover. Once there are no more treasures, then it's time to start mining huge mines!

[System Notification]: [The mission to resolve the issue of Danzo Shimura and the pursuing ninja forces investigating the Akatsuki (Obito Uchiha) is complete. Reward: Ninjutsu knowledge - Great Fire Annihilation.]

【Great Fire Annihilation (Rank B Fire Release Ninjutsu: By condensing fire-style chakra, it can unleash a sea of ​​flames, possessing immense power and range!)】

On the contrary, Obito Uchiha, whoever knows how much of Madara Uchiha's inheritance he received, is still constantly producing new gold coins.

Obvious.

Obito Uchiha did not learn the technique, but he possessed knowledge of it. This meant that completing his superior's task could potentially grant him access to the knowledge his superior possessed.

Akihara Kagura immediately used the characteristics of the [Ninjutsu Professor] to learn the Great Fire Annihilation Technique, a powerful fire-style ninjutsu that is hard to come by.

the most important is…

Akihara Kagura vaguely grasped some of the tricks.

If he were to seize all of Madara Uchiha's inheritance from Obito Uchiha, and Madara Uchiha were to become his superior in the future, what kind of huge gold mine could he possibly uncover?

While joining a superior's team can grant powerful traits from that superior alone, some superiors truly possess a wealth of resources…

"Lord Kagura, everyone's here."

Just as Akihara Kagura was pondering, a little girl's voice appeared beside him.

Karin stood next to Akihara Kagura, wearing a gray ANBU ninja uniform. This little girl had graduated early from the ninja academy and went straight into Root.

Kabuto Yakushi stood behind Karin, still wearing the glasses given to him by Dean Nonou, a playful smile on his lips. He seemed quite pleased to see Danzo Shimura defect, after all, he and Nonou Yakushi had almost been forced to defect by Danzo Shimura in the past…

White Zetsu Awei's body floated on a wooden pillar, his mouth wide open in a proud grin, clearly pleased with his role in Danzo's defection.

The twelve Uchiha were still wearing masks, their Sharingan eyes still open, standing quietly in the corridor, their expressions unreadable.

"Now that everyone's here, let's introduce ourselves."

"Everyone here is one of us."

Kagura Akihara calmly began, "Aside from Wei, everyone should know the others. Wei acts on my behalf, Karin will be my assistant from now on, and Kabuto's identity goes without saying..."

Akihara Kagura turned around, glanced at White Zetsu Awei, and then looked at the twelve Uchiha: "Lord Danzo was able to escape the busy work in Konoha thanks to your contributions..."

"Hehehe, it's actually quite fun."

Bai Jue Awei responded with a chuckle.

For a White Zetsu that loves to observe, White Zetsu Awei really enjoys the novel stories happening in the ninja world, especially since this particular story was completed with its help.

"..."

The twelve Uchiha remained silent.

Their Uchiha identities meant they couldn't say whatever they wanted to Akihara Kagura like White Zetsu Awei, and they dared not make any mistakes at any time, because they had nowhere to retreat, with the Uchiha clan, who had nowhere to go, behind them.

These twelve Uchiha trained in the limited Tsukuyomi world, first successfully acquiring the three-tomoe Sharingan and a wealth of combat experience, before Akihara Kagura used [genetic modification technology] to transplant Hashirama cells into them, successfully awakening Wood Release and becoming dual bloodline ninjas.

but…

This was a novel experience for them.

This group of Uchiha was involved in the entire process of framing Danzo Shimura.

I have to say…

This is a textbook example of a fabricated frame-up.

In the first step, Akihara Kagura secretly assisted Shimura Danzo in his return to power. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Shimura Danzo needed manpower for his comeback, she successfully placed two spies, Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fu, into Shimura Danzo's ranks, so that they could influence Danzo at any time.

The second step was that after Shimura Danzo left Konoha, a squad of dual bloodline ninjas took advantage of Might Guy's training to fake a secret infiltration of Konoha. Might Guy discovered this, and a conflict ensued, attracting the attention of many people in Konoha and leading to the discovery of the dual bloodline ninjas' presence.

Thirdly, Akihara Kagura used the evidence left to her by Shimura Danzo—the order for the transfer of 143 Sharingan eyes—to directly pin the double bloodline limit on Shimura Danzo. She then led Hatake Kakashi to search Shimura Danzo's house, where they found members of two squads, confirming Shimura Danzo's conspiracy to amass assassins.

In the fourth step, all the dual bloodline ninjas, under the cover of Akihara Kagura's interrogation, deliberately claimed that Shimura Danzo had fifty-nine more dual bloodline ninjas in his possession. This aroused the vigilance of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Konoha leadership, prompting Sarutobi Hiruzen to send an envoy to negotiate peace with Shimura Danzo.

Fifth, these double bloodline ninjas impersonated Hiruzen Sarutobi's messengers to capture Danzo Shimura, specifically targeting him to take the blame. This forced Danzo to rely on his subordinates to rescue him, resulting in a great battle. Apart from the two spies, Fu Yamanaka and Torune Aburame, all of Danzo's other subordinates perished in the battle.

The sixth step involved these dual-bloodline ninjas hunting down Shimura Danzo when he was short of manpower, forcing him to use the spy Aburame Torune to instigate a war between the Kirigakure ninjas and the dual-bloodline ninjas.

In the seventh step, White Zetsu Awei led this group of dual bloodline ninjas to impersonate Shimura Danzo, using his name to instigate conflict and hunt down Kirigakure ninjas, thus framing Danzo with evidence of starting a war and even threatening to attack the Hokage's advisor. At the same time, he had Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fu deceive Shimura Danzo, making him believe that he was going to take the blame for Hiruzen Sarutobi and would be punished once he returned to the village.

The eighth step involved White Zetsu spreading rumors that Shimura Danzo was too afraid to return to the village and had chosen to defect. The Konoha leadership had no choice but to make amends and issue an arrest warrant for Shimura Danzo, thus officially confirming that Shimura Danzo had become a rogue ninja.

At last…

Someone still needs to clean up the mess.

To make Danzo Shimura himself admit to his defection.

The charges announced by Konoha included some committed by Shimura Danzo himself, and others that Danzo believed he had taken the blame for. In any case, he certainly knew in his heart that he could not refute them.

"Ah Wei."

Akihara Kagura instructed Awei, "Go ask Obito if there's anything else he needs my help with..."

"it is good."

White Zetsu Awei disappeared in a flash.

"pocket."

Kagura Akihara looked at Kabuto Yakushi and said, "Let's go to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rice Fields together, and see Danzo!"

"it is good."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, "Danzo is like a stray dog ​​right now. Are we letting him join forces with Lord Orochimaru if we don't kill him?"

"Where else could he go besides Lord Orochimaru?"

Akihara Kagura opened her palms, her expression quite compassionate: "An old man has been driven out of Konoha by his old friend; surely we should find him a place to stay?"

"I'm going to have a rather unpleasant encounter with Lord Orochimaru..."

"Now that Lord Danzo has been driven out of the village, Lord Orochimaru will have to go through me if he wants to obtain information about Konoha..."

"Perfect timing! We'll ask Lord Danzo to help us smooth things over and let them know that I'm indispensable, and that only I can be the one they rely on to take control of Konoha in the future..."

First update!

I saw some readers say they didn't understand how Danzo defected...

Here's a summary of the steps Danzo took to leave Konoha...
