Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 183: A 30/70 split, 70% is mine!

In the forest.

The Root ninjas are having a meal together.

Kagura Akihara, the boss, took the initiative to catch ingredients for her subordinates. She sat on a rock by a river, holding a fishing rod and enjoying the pleasure of fishing.

Karin stood behind Akihara Kagura, reporting in a low voice the information she had sensed: "There are two lurking ninjas three kilometers away. I'm worried they might spoil Kagura-sama's fun. Perhaps I should go and take care of them..."

"That's not our enemy."

Akihara Kagura watched as the fish floated to the bottom of the water, then quickly lifted her fishing rod, pulled up the line, and reeled in the fish on the hook: "Let's stay here for a while and see who their target is. Let's just watch and have some fun."

"..."

Karin had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

This is hilarious…

Could this be something that Class 7 is having fun with?

Karin also sensed the presence of Team 7. Team 7 and their mission destination were the same. Could those two lurking enemies be attacking Team 7?

as predicted.

Karin's prediction unfortunately came true.

When Kakashi Hatake led Team 7 to escort Tazuna, they were attacked by two Hidden Mist ninjas. Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, who were experiencing ninja combat for the first time, were too scared to fight. On the contrary, Sasuke Uchiha's performance was quite impressive!

fortunately…

Kakashi Hatake, a Jonin, resolved the crisis by easily knocking out two Hidden Mist ninjas. Just as he was about to interrogate the two ninjas from his allied village, he suddenly smelled the aroma of grilled fish and heard the rustling sound of a group of people walking by.

"This is…"

Kakashi Hatake immediately became alert!

However, before Kakashi Hatake could make a move, a familiar voice appeared in his ears: "Team 7 attacked ninjas from an allied village. This is a serious mistake. According to the village's rules, they will be stripped of their ninja status..."

As the sound appeared, Akihara Kagura, holding a skewer of grilled fish, slowly walked out of the forest, clearly there to watch the excitement.

"You bastard..."

Kakashi Hatake glanced speechlessly at Kagura Akihara: "Were they watching us fight from the shadows the whole time? Or did you send these two?"

"They were the ones who attacked us!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately realized what was happening and complained, "Kagura, you're so disloyal! You've been secretly watching from the sidelines without offering any help!"

"It wasn't me. I wouldn't rashly attack an ally..."

Akihara Kagura shrugged, and suddenly the wooden splinter from the skewer in his hand flew out and pierced the shoulder of a Mist Ninja, instantly waking him up from the pain!

"Ahhhhh..."

The intense pain instantly made the fog cry out in agony!

"Stop yelling."

Akihara Kagura walked to his side, raised her finger, and placed it on the wooden splinter. The splinter began to slowly grow inside the ninja's body.

"Aaaaaah, a Wood Release ninja..."

The Mist ninja stared at Akihara Kagura with a pained expression, recalling the most terrifying enemy that had ever appeared in Kirigakure: "You are...you are Akihara Kagura!"

"it's me."

Akihara Kagura nodded, not denying her identity, and continued, "According to the alliance between Kirigakure and Konoha, Kirigakure is not allowed to undertake guard missions that conflict with Konoha, nor can it attack Konoha ninjas. Your actions have violated the alliance between the two villages, and you intend to start a war between Kirigakure and Konoha, right?"

"No...no..."

The Mist ninja didn't dare admit it at all, quickly shaking his head and saying, "We didn't intend to attack Konoha ninjas, I can't say what mission we're on!"

"Then you are worthless."

Akihara Kagura raised her finger.

The wooden splinter embedded in the ninja's body instantly grew, and branching twigs emerged from the ninja's body. He then fell silent.

"..."

The kids in Class 7 were terrified.

Even though Uchiha Sasuke was very brave, he could still feel the terror of those wooden thorns piercing his body, and cold sweat involuntarily streamed down his forehead!

The three kids in Class 7 all showed a look of panic and unease. It was the first time they had witnessed Akihara Kagura's style. Even Naruto Uzumaki, who was always familiar with Akihara Kagura, was seeing Akihara Kagura working for the first time!

"Karin".

Akihara Kagura looked at the other Kirigakure ninja who was still unconscious and ordered, "Wake the other one up."

"Yes."

Karin drew her ninja sword from behind her and slashed it fiercely across the chest of the unconscious ninja, causing blood to splatter out!

As classmates of the same age as Karin, seeing her act so decisively, they couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic. Even Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but start to miss the red-haired little girl who used to timidly follow behind Kagura Akihara...

"..."

Another Mist Ninja was instantly awakened by the pain!

Why attack the Konoha ninja?

Kagura Akihara disregarded all restraint and stood in front of another Kirigakure ninja, saying softly, "He's dead. You tell me. If neither of you speaks, I won't ask any more questions. I'll just destroy Kirigakure and the Land of Water. I have no interest in interrogating a third person."

I said…

The Mist Ninja trembled as he looked at Tazuna in the crowd, forced to reveal his mission: "We are ordered to kill Tazuna, the one who built the bridge."

"..."

All eyes turned to Tazna in the crowd.

"..."

The bespectacled old man was somewhat frightened and couldn't help but take a few steps back. He had tricked the Konoha ninja into escorting and protecting him to build a bridge, and even deliberately issued a C-rank job because he didn't have enough money.

Actually...

This escort mission was extremely dangerous.

Strictly speaking, the Land of Waves is now rife with thugs and henchmen of smugglers, and there are even ninjas working for them. It's not something an ordinary squad can handle.

however…

But that was all Tazna could do.

Tazuna lowered his head in frustration and began to speak softly about the situation in the Land of Waves: "A merchant named Gato has taken over the Land of Waves and is prohibiting it from communicating with the outside world..."

"Kado oppresses the common people of the Land of Waves, and everyone lives in poverty. We have no power to resist Kado, and those who do are killed..."

"I had no choice but to deceive Konoha into sending ninjas to protect me. I just wanted to build a bridge that would allow me to communicate with the outside world and prevent the Land of Waves from falling into poverty..."

Tazuna looked at the Konoha ninjas present and clumsily tried to use moral blackmail: "If no one protects me, I will be killed by them, the Land of Waves will remain poor, my little granddaughter will spend her life in tears, and my daughter will hate you Konoha ninjas for the rest of her life..."

"..."

Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Akihara Kagura nodded and offered a solution: "It's alright, I'm kind-hearted, I'll kill them so they don't have to live in pain..."

"..."

Tazna was startled!

I originally intended to use moral blackmail, but this Konoha ninja, who seems to be of high status, turns out to be completely without morals!

"Don't scare him."

"We'd like to help you, but your request falls under the B-level task category."

Kakashi Hatake sighed, looking at Tazuna with a helpless expression, and said, "Creating a fake request is very troublesome. The village's higher-ups won't want us to carry out this mission. Besides, Gato has hired ninjas from Kirigakure. If we fight against our allied ninja villages..."

As Kakashi Hatake got to this point, he began to subtly hint at Tazuna's intentions: "If we want to continue carrying out the commission, we need special permission from the village's higher-ups..."

"Should we return to Konoha?"

Tazuna looked at Kakashi Hatake, as if he saw a glimmer of hope: "As long as we get special permission from the Konoha higher-ups..."

Let me give you a proper introduction.

Kakashi Hatake's forehead twitched, and he helplessly spread his hands toward Kagura Akihara, introducing her as "one of Konoha's high-ranking officials, the Hokage's assistant, Lady Kagura Akihara, whose status is second only to the Third Hokage of Konoha."

"Do whatever you want."

Kagura Akihara interrupted Kakashi Hatake, saying impatiently, "Don't drag me into this. I can pretend I know nothing..."

"You need to be more responsible!"

Kakashi Hatake placed a hand on Kagura Akihara's shoulder, then pulled him close, whispering, "Hey, I've been giving you a lot of face. This is the first time these kids are on a ninja combat mission; we can't let it end like this, can we?"

When Kakashi Hatake got to this point, he rubbed his hands together and began to express his concerns: "I'm just worried that a conflict with Kirigakure might cause trouble for the village..."

"Won't."

Akihara Kagura glanced at Hatake Kakashi and continued, "While you guys go and take care of the smugglers from the Land of Waves, I'm taking the Root members out for a vacation..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake rolled his dead fish eyes, feeling like he had guessed Akihara Kagura's mission. This guy had dumped the mission on Team 7 and was going on vacation to relax and have fun.

"The Land of Waves is a great place for a vacation."

Kakashi Hatake nodded thoughtfully.

With so many powerful members of Root, plus Akihara Kagura, Konoha's strongest fighter, Kakashi Hatake immediately felt relieved. He was even willing to lead Team 7 on a mission to capture the Fourth Raikage...

but…

The Root and the Seventh Squad did not travel together.

After all, Kakashi Hatake led Team 7 here for training and experience, while Kagura Akihara and Root were really here for a vacation.

however…

When Kakashi Hatake, Team 7, and Tazuna arrived in the Land of Waves, they immediately encountered an old acquaintance: a Hidden Mist ninja carrying a frighteningly large sword and with bandages wrapped around his face, standing on a tree and blocking their path.

"Kakashi Hatake..."

"I ran into an old acquaintance again..."

Kakashi Hatake looked up at the bandaged man and recalled their past encounter: "Isn't this Zabuza Momochi? I heard you defected? The late Fourth Mizukage saved your life, it seems you didn't heed his order to return to the village..."

"Who would want to obey his orders anymore!"

Zabuza Momochi muttered a curse under his breath.

After Zabuza Momochi was saved by Yagura Karatachi, he did not choose to return to Kirigakure. Instead, he defected and left Kirigakure, wanting to seize the position of Mizukage and change Kirigakure according to his own ideas.

Obviously.

This is an attempt to rebel.

Rebellion undoubtedly requires money.

Just then, some nobles from the Land of Water who had long been involved in smuggling found Zabuza Momochi and hired him to protect their smuggling business. They even promised that if Zabuza Momochi succeeded in his rebellion, they would support him to become the Mizukage, provided that he agreed to cancel the alliance with Konoha and close the Land of Water again.

The two sides hit it off.

Zabuza Momochi was responsible for protecting their smuggling business, while the nobles of the Land of Water were responsible for funding Zabuza Momochi to recruit the money and manpower needed for the rebellion.

no doubt.

Zabuza Momochi is currently the strongest fighter in the Land of Waves.

Be careful.

Kakashi Hatake stared intently at Zabuza Momochi, reminding his subordinates to be vigilant: "This guy assassinated a former Mizukage, fought Akihara Kagura, and even escaped unscathed. If we're not careful, we might get killed by him..."

"..."

A vein popped out on Zabuza Momochi's forehead.

Is Kakashi Hatake deliberately poking at his old wounds?

When he fought Akihara Kagura, how was he able to escape unscathed? That bastard Kakashi Hatake knows the situation perfectly well!

While Kakashi Hatake verbally instructed his subordinates to be on high alert, he remained completely calm, believing that Kagura Akihara was definitely keeping an eye on the situation.

If the battle goes badly, Akihara Kagura definitely won't stand idly by. As long as Akihara Kagura shows up, Momochi Zabuza will definitely be scared off...

however…

Akihara Kagura wasn't paying any attention to this place at all.

Just as Zabuza Momochi and Team 7, led by Kakashi Hatake, were engaged in a fierce battle, Kagura Akihara sat on the sofa in the home of smuggler Cado.

As for the smuggler Kado, he was already a corpse, with a snake coiled around his body, clearly indicating that the killer was someone else.

The killer was Orochimaru.

Shimura Danzo, accompanied by his two bodyguards, Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fu, stood to the side, their eyes half-closed and silent.

These two Konoha S-rank rogue ninjas had just arrived in the Land of Waves when Akihara Kagura invited them to a gathering at Gato's house, where they also eliminated Gato's gang who were entrenched there.

"Let's divide up Cardo's money first."

Akihara Kagura didn't even look at Gato's corpse, casually outlining the distribution ratio: "How about a 30/70 split?"

"They only gave us 70%?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, gazing greedily at Akihara Kagura: "Kagura-kun, I remember you shouldn't have any expenses, right?"

"The Konoha Orphanage and Root are both on my shoulders."

Akihara Kagura sighed deeply, recounting her hardships and struggles.

Thinking of this, Akihara Kagura added, "Oh, right, I forgot to mention, 70% of it is mine..."

Third update!

Today's goal of 10,000 units has been achieved!

I'm a huge fan of Orochimaru!
