Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 173 Perhaps, Hiruzen Sarutobi was controlled by Obito Uchiha...

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Fields.

Shimura Danzo, along with Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune, hid in a small town here. They had all received news that Konoha had classified Shimura Danzo as an S-rank rogue ninja.

"..."

For an entire day, Danzo Shimura couldn't eat.

Danzo Shimura never imagined that he would one day be expelled from Konoha. He spent almost his entire life in Konoha and dedicated his life to that ninja village.

Danzo Shimura believed that the most tragic end of his life would be to die for Konoha and leave his mark on the village's memorial stone, while the most fulfilling end of his life would be to work hard for Konoha and leave his statue on the Hokage Rock in Konoha Village.

result…

Suddenly, he became a rogue ninja.

Who would have thought that at the age of seventy, he would become a rogue ninja!

This was utterly humiliating to him!

No matter what, Danzo Shimura could not accept this fact. He wanted to go back and tell everyone that it was all Hiruzen Sarutobi's conspiracy!

however…

Kagura Akihara sent a message through Torune Aburame: everything in Konoha is under Hiruzen Sarutobi's control, and if he returns, he will only become a scapegoat.

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door.

Shimura Danzo, not wanting anyone to come in, spoke with a gloomy expression, "Didn't I say I wanted some peace and quiet today?"

"Lord Kagura has arrived."

"..."

Danzo Shimura sighed, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart: "Let Kagura in! The rest of you stay outside."

When Akihara Kagura walked in, she noticed that Shimura Danzo's energy and spirit were not quite right; he looked like he had aged several years!

"What exactly is going on?"

Danzo Shimura looked up at Kagura Akihara, a flash of anger crossing his face: "Kagura Akihara, how did I become a rogue ninja of Konoha? What happened?!"

"Shouldn't this be asked of Lord Danzo?"

"The situation is too serious; even I can't do anything about it."

"An order personally issued by the Third Hokage."

Kagura Akihara sat opposite Danzo Shimura and said softly, "I originally asked the Third Hokage to handle everything secretly, and not to let anyone leak the secret, so that everything could wait until Lord Danzo returned. But the Third Hokage insisted on issuing the arrest warrant..."

"monkey!"

Danzo Shimura clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with resentment. "That bastard pinned all the blame on me!"

Danzo Shimura suddenly looked at Kagura Akihara and said in a deep voice, "Kagura Akihara, you should know that I don't have any Sharingan. All the Sharingan in Root have been destroyed. Now, only Obito Uchiha and Sarutobi in the ninja world still have Sharingan!"

"But... the evidence is overwhelming."

Kagura Akihara frowned, then calmly said, "Because some ninjas with dual bloodline limits of Wood Release and Sharingan have been discovered by the villagers? I saw it when Kakashi and I were having dinner together; quite a few people in the village have discovered some ninjas with dual bloodline limits..."

As Akihara Kagura finished speaking, she stared intently at Shimura Danzo before her and continued, "The most troublesome thing is that Lord Danzo led some dual bloodline ninjas to attack Advisor Mitokado Homura and the Kirigakure ninjas. The impact of this incident was extremely negative, even though I didn't have a conflict with Lord Danzo at the time..."

"What are you saying!"

Shimura Danzo stared at Akihara Kagura with a face full of shock and anger, almost incredulous, saying, "I did nothing like that! I received your message and have been staying here ever since. I have never left. When did I lead men to attack Mitokado Homura?"

"What?"

Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo with some surprise: "Lord Danzo, didn't we just meet in the Land of Rain a few days ago?"

"How could I possibly have done this!"

"Besides, those people are all the monkey's subordinates!"

Danzo Shimura had always known that those dual bloodline ninjas were Hiruzen Sarutobi's subordinates. He almost immediately understood everything; Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to take this opportunity to confirm the matter!

Shimura Danzo gritted his teeth and said angrily, "It's that monkey trying to frame me! I'll admit to what I've done, but I'll never admit to what I didn't do!"

"but…"

Kagura Akihara looked at Danzo Shimura and reminded him, "Advisor Homura Mitokado also believes it was you. Everyone thinks it was you. Otherwise, the two Hokage advisors wouldn't have agreed to the Third Hokage issuing the arrest warrant. Both advisors wanted to resolve this internally..."

"..."

Shimura Danzo felt an indescribable sense of injustice and pain. This old man, who always liked to wrong others, experienced the feeling of being wronged for the first time.

The feeling of being wrongly accused...

This was too much for the nearly seventy-year-old man to bear.

"Nobody wanted things to come to this..."

Kagura Akihara quickly comforted Danzo Shimura with a divine phrase from her past life, even pouring him a cup of tea: "However, I do have a solution. Kakashi and I captured twelve ninjas with dual bloodline limits in the village..."

"Interrogate them immediately!"

Shimura Danzo seemed to have grasped at a straw!

"But…"

Akihara Kagura hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Shimura Danzo, and innocently reminded him, "The results of their interrogation were also from an experiment you conducted..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura felt that his lifeline had slipped away.

"alright."

Akihara Kagura's expression turned solemn, and she continued softly, "Even if you really did it, it doesn't matter. We were here to resolve this matter anyway..."

"That wasn't done by me!"

Danzo Shimura resolutely refused to admit it, even presenting his own compelling evidence: "You destroyed all the Sharingan in Root, but I guarantee there are absolutely no Sharingan left. Only the monkeys in Konoha possessed the Sharingan, and only the monkeys' Anbu could collect Sharingan in the Uchiha clan's territory!"

"but…"

Kagura Akihara looked at Danzo Shimura and reminded him again, "The Anbu have always claimed that they were ordered to destroy the Sharingan long ago..."

This is a scapegoat!

Danzo Shimura had no choice but to acknowledge it!

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi had already blocked the way!

However, Akihara Kagura was a kind person and deliberately left Shimura Danzo a way out: "Even if they really did keep the Sharingan hidden away, what would they use it for? The Sharingan isn't strong enough, is it?"

"The Sharingan might not be strong enough!"

Shimura Danzo immediately felt he had grasped the truth. He stared intently at Akihara Kagura: "But you are strong enough. Wood Release ninjas are powerful enough!"

Danzo Shimura, having uncovered the truth, began to find reasons for Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions: "It must be because of your success, because of the power of your Wood Release, that bastard monkey rekindled his desire to use the First Hokage's cells. Coincidentally, he obtained a batch of Sharingan materials on the night of the massacre, and by a twist of fate, the experiment succeeded..."

"but…"

"The monkey doesn't want this to be discovered..."

"I've always done the things that were inconvenient for me, but the monkey has never dared to let me master the power of Wood Release. He even took you and Tenzo from my Root back then!"

"However, this matter was accidentally discovered..."

"That bastard monkey made me take the blame for him. That's how it is in the illusion world, and it's still the same in the real world!"

"..."

Kagura Akihara marveled at Danzo Shimura's meticulous logic.

He was able to discover even this truth…

However, once Shimura Danzo began to doubt the people of Konoha, his thinking became extremely divergent, and he even found another possibility.

"perhaps…"

"The monkey was silently controlled by Obito Uchiha..."

"Obito Uchiha stole the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan that I obtained from Shisui and secretly controlled the monkey. Didn't he already control the Mizukage of Kirigakure?"

"..."

Akihara Kagura felt that this idea wasn't wrong. If the blame were pinned on Uchiha Obito, it would be an excellent choice for her.

"Lord Danzo."

Kagura Akihara acknowledged that both of Danzo Shimura's arguments made sense, but they had to understand one fact: "No matter how much evidence you have, even if the Third Hokage was truly controlled by Obito Uchiha or conducted experiments on him without permission, everyone will still believe it's your fault, because at that moment, the Hokage will have presented all your evidence to everyone..."

"unless…"

"In public..."

"You confront the Hokage, expose what he did, and let everyone know that you are innocent and that the Hokage is the one who did wrong. Only then will you have a chance to return to Konoha and overturn the Hokage's arrest warrant."

"good!"

Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth.

Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed all the dark things he had done, even using it as evidence to warrant his arrest. Why can't he take revenge on Hiruzen Sarutobi?

and…

This defection incident...

With all this evidence, how could I possibly become Hokage?

"Regardless, let's avoid the Hokage's pursuit for now!"

Kagura Akihara advised Danzo Shimura to consider the bigger picture, adding fuel to the fire by saying, "The Hokage announced at the meeting that the village's ninjas should prioritize hunting you down..."

"..."

Shimura Danzo's heart was immediately filled with hatred!

Most of the rogue ninjas who escaped Konoha would develop hatred for their comrades, and Shimura Danzo's hatred was even more intense than that of Uchiha Madara!

however…

After his initial resentment, Shimura Danzo was forced to confront a tragic reality: "I am unwilling to betray Konoha, but where can I go now?"

Shimura Danzo glanced at Akihara Kagura and asked, "Did you bring me to the Land of Rice Fields so that I would go and join Orochimaru?"

"I'm not seeking refuge here, just temporarily finding a place to stay."

Kagura Akihara shook her head and continued, "It just so happens that I have some disagreements with Lord Orochimaru. He has been trying to use the Reanimation Jutsu to seize my body. I would like to ask Lord Danzo to help mediate, and it would be best to make Lord Orochimaru realize..."

"He and I are now equal allies..."

As Akihara Kagura finished speaking, she looked at Shimura Danzo and smiled, "Just like Danzo-sama and I are now..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura knew in his heart that this had already become a fact.

Because Akihara Kagura's status and strength were above his, and she even held an advantageous position in this alliance, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable...

"It was I who brought you back to Konoha."

Danzo Shimura recalled his first meeting with Kagura Akihara.

"so…"

Akihara Kagura smiled at the old man in front of her and extended her palm in a friendly manner: "I will definitely help Lord Danzo return to the village."

"..."

Shimura Danzo felt much better and nodded in agreement to Akihara Kagura's request: "Then I'll help you talk to Orochimaru..."

"Then I'll trouble Lord Danzo to stay in the Land of Rice Fields and keep an eye on our alliance with Lord Orochimaru, so he doesn't keep causing trouble for us."

Akihara Kagura felt that the world was truly wondrous.

Orochimaru sent him to Konoha to monitor the alliance with Shimura Danzo, but now Akihara Kagura is sending Shimura Danzo to monitor his alliance with Orochimaru...

but…

This matter is beneficial to Orochimaru.

After all, Orochimaru could now personally monitor his alliance with Shimura Danzo.

of course.

It also has some drawbacks for Orochimaru.

Because too many people in the ninja world wanted to kill Danzo.

The land of rain.

The base of the Akatsuki organization.

When Nagato and Konan learned that Shimura Danzo had defected from Konoha and become an S-rank rogue ninja, they immediately realized that this was a great opportunity for them to take revenge!

Uchiha Itachi…

I also think it's a good opportunity!

Because killing Shimura Danzo directly was a way to avenge Shimura, it also eliminated one of the most dangerous S-rank rogue ninjas for Konoha!

the most important is…

Itachi Uchiha still believed that Danzo Shimura possessed Shisui Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan, especially since Danzo Shimura was secretly using the Sharingan he obtained on the night of the Clan Massacre to conduct experiments!

Kakuzu, the Akatsuki's most money-loving member, brought particularly useful information: "The price of Shimura Danzo's corpse, an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha, has skyrocketed to 190 million ryo in just a few days. There are even rumors that the price can double for a living person. Could I make this person my teammate?"

"..."

Do you want Danzo to become your teammate?

None of the Akatsuki members wanted to expose Kakuzu's true intentions!

"Kakuzu, we've found a more suitable newcomer for you."

Pain rejected Kakuzu's suggestion, saying softly, "That newcomer has the ability to be immortal, making him more suitable to be your new teammate... As for Danzo, he's better suited to be a corpse and be exchanged for money."

"Okay, then that's settled!"

Kakuzu nodded in satisfaction.

Pain then added, "However, this matter is of great importance, and Konan and I will go together to help you."

"We can too..."

Itachi Uchiha spoke first.

With the death of Juzo Biwa, Itachi Uchiha gained a new teammate, Kisame Hoshigaki. This S-rank rogue ninja from Kirigakure grinned, revealing a mouthful of shark teeth: "Mr. Itachi, do you have plans to hunt down Danzo? Aren't you allies?"

"Me and..."

Before Uchiha Itachi could even speak, he was interrupted.

Let's go together.

Sasori of the Red Sand offered the suggestion.

However, Sasori's new teammate, Deidara with his blond ponytail, objected, "Hey, Sasori, I have no interest in that Shimura Danzo. When are we finally going to make a move and kill that bastard Akihara Kagura?!"

"..."

Pain immediately felt a headache coming on.

If Deidara finds out that Akihara Kagura is one of his own, wouldn't he blow up the Akatsuki base to pieces?

and…

Has Deidara, this newcomer, always been this confident?

Sasori glanced at Deidara and kindly advised, "If you want to die now, don't drag the Akatsuki down with you."

Second update!

Sorry, sorry!

The last chapter was criticized for being too filler!

I've never swum before...
