Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 177 How's my plan?

The Konoha Crush Plan.

Orochimaru's name is quite clever, and his project plan is also well done, even detailing the precise timing of its launch.

This project proposal is very innovative.

Because this Chunin Exam is far more grand than the last one.

In order to save on the expenses of the Chunin Exams, and also to be able to show off their genius ninjas in the Chunin Exams, Kirigakure and Sunagakure agreed to participate in the joint Chunin Exams hosted by Konoha. The three major alliances also flexed their muscles to the other two major ninja villages.

Obviously.

Orochimaru added some details to the plan, such as the participation of Kaguya's clan from Kusagakure, and even members of Kirigakure.

The elder of Kirigakure, Genji, will also come to Konoha, wanting to meet with Hiruzen Sarutobi to discuss important matters, a fact that Orochimaru takes advantage of.

According to Orochimaru's plan, they would first discuss the war against Konoha with the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, to lure the Fourth Kazekage and Sunagakure into the scheme, and then take the opportunity to assassinate the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

Orochimaru will disguise himself as Rasa and meet with Genji, an elder of Kirigakure, to persuade Sunagakure and Kirigakure to unite and declare war on Konoha. After luring Kirigakure into the scheme, he will then assassinate Genji, an elder of Kirigakure, and have Danzo Shimura impersonate Genji.

Finally, Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura disguised themselves as Rasa and Genji respectively to attend the grandest third Chunin Exam. During the exam, they chose to launch an attack, leading the people of Sunagakure and Kirigakure to declare war on Konoha, with the cooperation of the warlike Kaguya clan of Kusagakure.

In this way...

Konoha is definitely going to collapse!

have to say.

Orochimaru's plan was flawless.

It was even more perfect than the plan in Akihara Kagura's memory.

Kagura Akihara silently praised Orochimaru, then stuffed the scroll back into the little white snake's mouth and instructed it, "This plan won't work. Send it back and redo it. Tell Lord Orochimaru that we can't launch a simultaneous, all-or-nothing attack. We must proceed gradually. If Konoha holds out and doesn't collapse, they will collapse first..."

"..."

The little white snake could only swallow the scroll and leave.

"This plan is way too early. The Chunin Exams are still more than half a year away, and this year's Ninja Academy graduates haven't even been assigned jobs yet..."

Akihara Kagura picked up her Konoha ninja headband and put it on. Now she was the Hokage's assistant in Konoha, and her duties were quite heavy.

A seventeen-year-old serving as the Hokage's assistant is no small position.

Twelve-year-old Karin, still wearing glasses and holding a folder, reported her busy schedule to Akihara Kagura: she had to attend a meeting at the Hokage Building in the morning, go to the Mission Gathering Hall at noon, and attend the birthday party hosted by Yakushi Nonou at the Konoha Orphanage in the evening.

"I'm going to the Hokage Building for a meeting first."

Before leaving Root, Akihara Kagura specifically instructed, "Karin, please register who didn't give me a gift. Those who did don't need to be registered..."

"it is good."

Karin nodded immediately.

The twelve Uchiha began to stare at each other.

Although Akihara Kagura was their superior, they were a bit older than her and were speechless at some of her childish behavior.

In recent years, these Uchiha have made rapid progress, as they spend most of their time training in the limited Tsukuyomi world, giving them more training time than others.

However, because they stayed in the limited Tsukuyomi for too long, and could even immediately distinguish between illusion and reality, the benefits the illusion world provided to them became less and less. This also led to these Uchiha having almost no feelings for the people in the illusion world.

They have no feelings for the people in the illusionary world.

Naturally, there's no way to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan through the illusionary world.

Akihara Kagura doesn't need particularly strong power. You can't make these people kill each other just for a Mangekyou Sharingan. What's the difference between that and Shimura Danzo?

Some of the elders who survived the massacre of the Uchiha clan believe that if they kill Itachi Uchiha to avenge their clan, they might awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Akihara Kagura wasn't in a hurry either.

Because Akihara Kagura is already powerful enough.

What Akihara Kagura needs now is more chakra to awaken the Ten-Tails' body within her. She needs a suitable opportunity to absorb a considerable amount of chakra to accelerate the awakening of the Ten-Tails' body and quickly advance to the stronger Six Paths level.

Inside the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane have all arrived.

The recent topic of discussion inside the Hokage Building has been the graduating ninja students of the Ninja Academy, and who should be their Jonin instructors.

In fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already decided on a suitable candidate, but he was still hesitant about one thing: he really hoped that Kagura Akihara could send Karin into a squad.

"Having Karin join Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki's team is actually quite suitable. If the Nine-Tails inside Naruto goes berserk, Karin can completely control it..."

"I think so too."

Kagura Akihara nodded quickly, agreeing with Hiruzen Sarutobi's suggestion: "Then send Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki to Root. I'll personally train these two kids. If the Nine-Tails inside Naruto goes berserk, I can quickly subdue it..."

After saying all that, Akihara Kagura put forward another idea: "As for Uchiha Sasuke, I'm sure I can find a way to reunite him with his clan. As long as Karin intervenes at a crucial moment in the mission, we can eliminate this threat..."

"Kagura, you're all grown up now. You can't act so extremely."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was too embarrassed to offer to take over Akihara Kagura's assistant, so he could only sigh and say, sticking to his original plan, "Let's not rush this. Let's wait until these kids graduate..."

"Their talent is certainly enough."

Kagura Akihara sighed and frowned, saying, "Don't Naruto and Sasuke seem quite keen on joining Root? Third Hokage, wouldn't it be better to let them choose their own destiny?"

Over the years, Sasuke Uchiha learned that Karin had made rapid progress after joining Root and was eager to join Root himself, so he would often go to the Hokage Building to ambush her.

As for Naruto Uzumaki…

Naruto Uzumaki thought joining Root would be a good idea.

Because Naruto Uzumaki didn't have many friends in the village. Apart from a few friends from the Ninja Academy, he only had Akihara Kagura, Karin, Hatake Kakashi, and Mitarashi Anko.

Both Akihara Kagura and Karin are located at the base.

Two years ago, Kakashi Hatake was ordered by Hiruzen Sarutobi to leave the Anbu and began serving as a Jonin instructor, but he had not yet found a suitable team member.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted Kakashi Hatake to leave the darkness of the Anbu and return to a life of light, Kakashi Hatake did not want to leave and was plotting to join Root so that he would have the opportunity to carry out the mission of tracking Obito Uchiha.

As for Mitarashi Azuko…

This tutor has risen to the rank of Special Jonin, only occasionally going out on missions and sometimes serving as the chief examiner for the Chunin Exams in the village.

to be honest…

If Naruto Uzumaki were to choose...

Actually, adding it directly to the root is a suitable option.

After all, even Sasuke Uchiha, the top student in the class, wanted to join Kagura Akihara's Root. Naruto Uzumaki felt that he was luckier than Sasuke Uchiha. He could join Root directly by just talking to Kagura Akihara.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could only shake his head helplessly. He definitely did not agree to Naruto Uzumaki joining Root. It was not good for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to become extreme; it was too easy for him to fall into darkness.

Suddenly, an ANBU member pushed open the door and reported, "Hokage-sama, the teachers from the Ninja Academy have arrived. They've brought the exam questions for this year's graduates..."

"Let them in."

"Yes."

The two walked into the office side by side.

These two people are the graduation examiners of the Ninja Academy. One is an old acquaintance, Iruka Umino, and the other is a Chunin teacher named Mizuki.

Umino Iruka was very serious and sincere, while Mizuki next to him kept looking here and there, seemingly searching for something.

Iruka Umino presented them with the graduation exam questions they had prepared for this year: "These are the exam questions for this year's graduates, and we've prepared the 'Clone Technique'."

According to the Ninja Academy's usual practice, the tests usually focus on techniques like the Three Body Techniques: Shadow Clone Technique, Transformation Technique, and Substitution Technique. These techniques are tested in rotation because they are techniques that ninjas will inevitably use frequently in the future.

to be frank.

These test questions are all very simple.

Many people have long believed that ninja academies should teach more powerful techniques and set difficult tests in the graduation exams to prevent ordinary ninjas from being unable to learn powerful ninjutsu.

In fact.

The simple Three Body Technique actually opened a door for ordinary ninjas.

Because most commoner ninjas can only gather a small amount of chakra, which is insufficient to learn or even unleash powerful ninjutsu, it will further widen the gap between children from ninja clans and commoners in ninja academies. In fact, the difficulty of the assessments may even prevent some commoner ninjas from graduating and becoming genin.

Compared to delaying the growth time of a few ordinary geniuses, it is more important to enable more children from ordinary families to graduate and become ninjas. In any case, the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, will keep an eye on things, and some Jonin instructors will also carefully teach any geniuses they discover.

"Let's do it this way."

Hiruzen Sarutobi made the decision with a single word.

Umino Iruka and Mizuki lowered their heads and left.

Akihara Kagura tapped her fingers lightly on her arm as she pondered the guy named Mizuki. She knew that the guy had always wanted to join Orochimaru's side.

Akihara Kagura looked at the Chunin named Mizuki and brought up an important topic: "Why is that teacher named Mizuki always spacing out..."

"Perhaps he has ulterior motives."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his pipe dangling from his lips, also wanted to bring up the topic: "I've been observing Mizuki all along, and I've discovered that he's someone who craves power and will stop at nothing to obtain it. He always sneaks up on my neighborhood, occasionally inquiring about information regarding the Book of Seals..."

"I'm going to kill him."

Akihara Kagura habitually uttered those words.

"No, there's no need to be so extreme."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and looked at Kagura Akihara: "It just so happens that Naruto is going to become a ninja, and many people in the village are against him becoming a ninja. The truth from back then can no longer be hidden..."

"Perhaps it's time for someone to tell Naruto the truth about what happened twelve years ago. This matter cannot be hidden forever. Before we make Naruto a ninja, we must let him know the truth about how the villagers rejected him, so that he won't cause the Nine-Tails' chakra to go berserk in the future..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Kagura Akihara and continued, "I've heard that Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique has always been subpar because he has too much chakra within him to control, just like you did back then. There just happens to be a forbidden technique in the Scroll of Seals that's perfect for Naruto to learn, and Mizuki happens to be keeping an eye on the Scroll of Seals as well..."

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"

Kagura Akihara remembered the forbidden technique and offered, "I can teach it to Naruto when I have the chance. Kakashi taught it to me back then..."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt exhausted from talking and tried to guide Kagura Akihara: "Mitsuki Isshin wants to steal the sealed book from the village and learn the forbidden techniques on it..."

"Then let's kill him as soon as possible."

Kagura Akihara still proposed her extreme approach, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "If you're worried that my actions will cause a commotion, I'll go back and give orders for the Root members to secretly take him away and dispose of him, burying him in the back mountain of the village..."

"..."

Why do the leaders of the Root always act so extremely?

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt his heart was weary and had to speak his mind: "I want Mizuki, who harbors malice, to tell Naruto the truth about the massacre of his clan twelve years ago. Perhaps his words will be even more painful for Naruto..."

"That guy named Shuimu, he's not very good, is he?"

Akihara Kagura frowned and voiced her objection: "How much does that Mizuki know? He doesn't even know Obito Uchiha. I know much more. Why don't I take some time to talk to Naruto and let him know who his enemy is..."

"One cannot become strong if one harbors hatred in their heart."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and exhaled a large smoke ring: "I plan to have Mizuki use Naruto to teach him a technique, so he'll understand that there are people in this world who will use him, but there are also many who care about him. I hope this will guide him onto the right path..."

This matter…

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to hand it over to Kagura Akihara.

Because darkness inherently exists within Akihara Kagura and Root, Hiruzen Sarutobi also wants to teach Akihara Kagura how to properly utilize some dark methods.

"I think I understand. Let's leave it to the Root."

Akihara Kagura took the initiative to take on this conspiracy, since Root was originally a dirty business, so it was understandable that he would do it.

More importantly…

Akihara Kagura had long coveted the Book of Seals.

Akihara Kagura has always portrayed herself as someone who is content with her power, only showing a need for it when faced with setbacks and difficulties.

Kagura Akihara understood that her strength was too great, and Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely not let her read the Book of Sealing easily. She had never brought it up herself, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had never mentioned it either, as if the Book of Sealing had never existed.

This time…

Perhaps this is a good opportunity.

Akihara Kagura took the initiative to present her plan to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I'll find someone to beat up that guy named Mizuki and make him steal the Scroll of Seals. I'll make him tell Naruto that the villagers have always hated him for being the Nine-Tailed Fox, but that he, as Naruto's teacher, has always known that Naruto is innocent and has always cared about him. So, in order for Naruto to graduate from his exams, he helped Naruto steal the Scroll of Seals so that Naruto could learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique from the Scroll of Seals and pass the exams smoothly..."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Kagura Akihara with a look of utter shock.

Although Akihara Kagura's plan was good and sounded like it could really impress someone, something just felt off!

and many more…

Doesn't this just clear that guy named Shuimu's name?

However, Akihara Kagura's plan was far from flawed, and she quickly added the second half to the plan: "Once Naruto has learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, we'll arrest Mizuki and let Naruto know that a teacher went to jail for him to become a ninja..."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time, completely lost in thought.

Third update!

10,000 units completed in one day!

Akihara Kagura is a master at planning and never shortsighted!
