Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 189 How to lure the two Hokage into the Konoha Crush Plan

"Seventh Class, get out of here immediately."

Kagura Akihara glanced at Orochimaru and the two mindless puppets, then instructed Kakashi Hatake and Team 7: "Take these brats and get away from them."

"And you?"

Kakashi Hatake stopped.

"What do you think I can do?"

Akihara Kagura looked at Hatake Kakashi and said, "Orochimaru has already set up a trap here. If I don't jump in, wouldn't I be disappointing?"

"Actually, you..."

Kakashi Hatake also wanted to persuade Kagura Akihara.

Because no other ninja in Konoha is as important as Akihara Kagura's safety; his existence is the cornerstone of Konoha's strength.

"alright."

Kagura Akihara interrupted Kakashi Hatake, whispering, "There might be spies in the village, perhaps even high-ranking ones. Otherwise, Orochimaru wouldn't have found out I left Konoha, or even knew I was coming to the Land of Waves on a mission..."

"The roots..."

Kakashi Hatake immediately became suspicious.

"The roots have never left my sight."

Akihara Kagura shook her head and continued, "There aren't many people who know I came to the Land of Waves on a mission. Perhaps this place was a trap set up by someone and Orochimaru, or perhaps they deliberately sent me here on this mission. It could even be someone from Kirigakure..."

"Hidden Mist Village?"

Kakashi Hatake frowned.

"Um."

Taking advantage of the situation, Akihara Kagura began to smear Kirigakure: "Orochimaru must be colluding with the people of Kirigakure, otherwise Orochimaru would not have appeared in the Land of Waves. The Land of Waves is just a base for smugglers from the Land of Water and the Land of Fire. Only those who have connections with Kirigakure could appear here for no reason..."

Akihara Kagura felt that the mudslinging she had thrown wasn't convincing enough, so she provided another piece of strong evidence: "These major ninja villages all like to collude with rogue ninjas from other villages, wanting to use rogue ninjas to deal with enemy ninja villages. For example, a few days ago I also colluded with Momochi Zabuza, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, and used him to do things for me..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake's eye twitched slightly.

Over the years, Kakashi Hatake has seen countless instances of people throwing dirty water on others, but he has never seen anyone throw dirty water on themselves and then claim that others are dirty as well…

but…

Akihara Kagura makes a lot of sense.

This guy wanted to remind Konoha to be wary of Kirigakure, their ally.

"By the way, isn't it your job to protect Tazna and help build this bridge?"

Kagura Akihara glanced at Tazuna, then looked at the members of Team 7: "After I defeat them, and while I'm at it, I'll protect Tazuna and repair this bridge. When we get back, remember to give me your reward for this mission. I've taken care of two enemies for you..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake was both amused and exasperated.

Is this the time to haggle over fees?

Kakashi Hatake knew that Kagura Akihara was joking and trying to put his friend at ease, so he nodded to indicate that he understood: "Okay, but as a Jonin instructor, I can only get a portion of the reward. The rest will depend on what these kids think..."

"I'll give all of mine to Kagura!"

Naruto Uzumaki, being very loyal, didn't understand what was going on and even wanted to stay and help: "I can stay..."

"..."

Kagura Akihara tapped Naruto Uzumaki on the head: "You can't even beat Karin yet, you're lucky if you don't drag me down..."

"I don't want any payment."

Uchiha Sasuke had no objection to this.

"I don't want it anymore."

Sakura Haruno quickly echoed Sasuke's sentiments.

"It's as if I'm bullying a child..."

Akihara Kagura ruffled Uzumaki Naruto's hair and chuckled, "Alright, let's go. Karin and the Root ninjas will stay behind to help me."

"it is good."

Kakashi Hatake could only nod.

He was the only one who could help Team 7, but he was also injured and didn't have much chakra left, so he could only lead Team 7 to retreat for the time being.

After they left, Karin ordered the Root ninjas to retreat to the bridge, then looked at Akihara Kagura and said, "Kagura-sama, may I..."

Karin believed that her Kagura-like insight could be helpful, and that she could drink Akihara Kagura's blood if she got injured, but Akihara Kagura interrupted her with a single sentence.

"You should go and stay there too."

Akihara Kagura waved her hand, telling her to wait patiently by the bridge: "Help me set up my fishing rod. Once you've tidied up my fishing spot, it should be almost over."

"Yes."

Karin could only lower her head and retreat to the side of the bridge.

The entire bridge.

Only Akihara Kagura, Orochimaru, and the two Hokage, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, remained. The mist slowly spread across the bridge.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Akihara Kagura looked at Orochimaru and asked softly, "Actually, I'm curious about something. If a ninja trainee in the village, wielding two sharp kunai, wanted to challenge you while you were wielding the Kusanagi Sword, how would you feel?"

"..."

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, surprised that Akihara Kagura would ask such a question. After a second, he smiled and gave his answer: "Perhaps out of pity for his ignorance and fearlessness?"

The ninja students at the Konoha Ninja Academy basically don't even understand the Three Body Techniques, and their taijutsu is unlikely to be particularly outstanding, so how could they possibly be his opponent?

After Orochimaru finished speaking, his eyes suddenly narrowed as if he had thought of something: "Kagura-kun, do you mean I'm that little kid holding that pretty kunai?"

"yes…"

Akihara Kagura nodded without any politeness and said softly, "It seems you can understand my feelings before the battle. No matter how sharp a kunai is, it's still in the hands of a child, especially when it's challenging the Kusanagi sword, which is the hardest material in the world..."

"..."

Orochimaru's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Kagura-kun, you only transplanted the cells of the First Hokage. I have the real First Hokage in my hands. Even if he can't unleash his full power, he is still far superior to you..."

Orochimaru continued, "Moreover, those resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique are immortal beings. I greatly enhanced their healing abilities, so they can recover even from fatal wounds..."

"Lord Orochimaru."

Akihara Kagura looked at Orochimaru, sighed, and said, "How about we consider breaking their spells and making them tell you the truth?"

"..."

Orochimaru smiled and shook his head, refusing to believe Akihara Kagura's nonsense.

Because he knew very well how unreliable the First Hokage was, and how intelligent the Second Hokage was. What if Akihara Kagura managed to get rid of his Edo Tensei?

"Let's give it a try..."

Orochimaru slowly backed away, raising his finger: "Kagura-kun, let me show you just how powerful the two Hokage really are!"

The words fell.

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju charged toward Kagura Akihara at the same time!

"Then let me show you clearly..."

Kagura Akihara shook her head helplessly and said softly, "How can a child with two sharp kunai possibly threaten an adult wielding the Kusanagi Sword?"

"Kagura-kun, stop looking down on me."

Orochimaru suddenly raised his finger and sharply ordered the two reanimated puppets, "Capture him, or kill him outright!"

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju rushed forward!

Akihara Kagura raised her hand and placed it on Senju Hashirama's wrist, assessing the First Hokage's strength: "No, I misspoke at first. The child isn't holding a sharp kunai, but a pretty one..."

next moment!

Akihara Kagura suddenly twisted and broke Senju Hashirama's wrist, then slammed an elbow into his chest, shattering his chest, and followed up with a kick that sent him flying. The resurrected First Hokage immediately fell into a state of recovery paralysis!

"Your physical skills..."

Orochimaru's pupils narrowed involuntarily.

Kagura Akihara glanced at Tobirama Senju, who was standing still, before turning to Orochimaru: "Because learning other techniques is too easy, there's no need to deliberately study them. My only focus is on taijutsu, which I'm not good at..."

"Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"

Tobirama Senju instantly raised his hand and released his Water Release ninjutsu!

"Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"

At the same time, Akihara Kagura raised her hands to form a hand seal, and an even more turbulent wave of water overturned, submerging Senju Tobirama's body and turning the entire bridge into a vast ocean!

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Tobirama Senju did not stop. His figure instantly emerged from the water, and his fingers quickly formed three hand seals. A huge water dragon rushed out from around him!

In this environment, the Water Dragon Bullet Technique becomes incredibly powerful!

"Ninja Art: Lightning Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Akihara Kagura's hand seals were not fast; she simply raised her finger, and a water dragon crackling with lightning emerged from the water, smashing Senju Tobirama's water dragon to pieces before rushing over and grabbing Senju Tobirama's body!

"This is... a combination ninjutsu?"

Orochimaru frowned, sensing something was amiss: "Wait... the old man's composite ninjutsu requires the release of two different techniques combined... how could it possibly release a combined technique instantly!"

"I'm a candidate for Hokage of Konoha, so it's only natural that I surpass the Hokage, right?"

Akihara Kagura raised her hands, and two balls of white flame flew out instantly, landing on Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama!

"Fire Release?"

Orochimaru stared intently at the ball of white-glowing flame, then quickly shook his head: "No, there's other elemental chakra inside..."

Because of the burning flames…

The two impure world resurrected individuals, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, were burned into nothingness.

"A combination of Fire Release and Dust Release..."

Orochimaru immediately understood Akihara Kagura's compound ninjutsu. He was once again shocked by how difficult this guy was to deal with. The two reanimated Hokage really couldn't do anything to Akihara Kagura because the more severely the body of the reanimated person was broken, the longer it would take to recover.

"wrong…"

Orochimaru suddenly realized something was wrong. The bodies of the reanimated victims could be restored, but the talismans he had placed on the two Hokage could not be unwound…

as predicted.

After Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju recovered, the two Hokage regained their senses at the same time and immediately became aware of the situation on the battlefield.

"Um?"

Hashirama Senju glanced around curiously, first spotting his younger brother Tobirama Senju, and immediately began to berate him: "Tobirama, it's all your fault for insisting on developing this technique that desecrates the dead..."

"Brother, let's find out what's going on first..."

Tobirama Senju frowned. He saw Kagura Akihara standing before him and noticed her Konoha headband. He asked in a deep voice, "Kid, are you a Konoha ninja?"

"Who is the enemy?"

Hashirama Senju surveyed his surroundings, counting the people on the bridge: "That Orochimaru is Tsuna's friend, this kid is a Konoha ninja, where are the enemies?"

"That Orochimaru is a rogue ninja from Konoha!"

Tobirama Senju was deeply worried about his brother's judgment: "Brother, you've been fooled by that guy!"

"what?"

Hashirama Senju looked at Orochimaru in a daze.

Was I scammed?

This guy is lying to himself that he's Xiaogang's friend?

"..."

Orochimaru, unconcerned about being exposed, his expression somewhat gloomy, hastily manipulated the two Hokage to continue their attack on Akihara Kagura: "Don't worry about these details, you can't resist my control anyway!"

"Kid, you're the Akihara Kagura they've been talking about, right?"

Forced to attack Akihara Kagura, Tobirama Senju had no choice but to bring up the old matter again, earnestly instructing her: "Teaching you how to break the Impure World Reincarnation now is useless, because you can't possibly be your brother's opponent..."

Bang!

Akihara Kagura's chakra suddenly erupted, sending the two charging Hokage flying. The force of the attack even stirred the sea, creating waves!

Even if Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were incredibly strong when they were alive, at this moment their power was no match for this chakra. The two Hokage could only raise their arms to block in front of them, and were sent flying backward, kneeling awkwardly on the ground!

"This chakra..."

Hashirama Senju stared at Kagura Akihara in shock, then abruptly turned to Orochimaru: "Hey, you brat who claims to be Tsuna's friend, this kid might be even stronger than I was when I was alive. Even if you resurrect me, it won't help..."

Orochimaru clenched his fists tightly, staring intently at Akihara Kagura, gritted his teeth, and spat, "That guy is clearly just an experimental subject I cultivated using the First Hokage's cells. How could a fake be exactly the same as the real thing?"

"..."

Tobirama Senju's eyes were also filled with disbelief.

However, in Tobirama Senju's perception, the aura of Kagura Akihara, who was wearing the Konoha headband, was almost on par with that of his older brother during the battle at the Valley of the End.

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's words, Tobirama Senju frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with his elder brother's statement: "Brother, this little guy is at most on par with you..."

After saying that, Tobirama Senju himself fell silent, because in the history of the ninja world, who else could match his elder brother's strength? Hashirama Senju alone could end the Warring States period!

next moment!

Akihara Kagura's figure appeared instantly next to Senju Hashirama!

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Tobirama Senju was startled, staring at the other in disbelief: "You've even learned my technique? When did you leave the Flying Thunder God mark on my brother?"

Akihara Kagura slapped Senju Hashirama's body with one hand, and a vine instantly wrapped around Senju Hashirama, absorbing his chakra!

It's a pity.

The resurrected Hashirama Senju had a relatively small amount of chakra, but his chakra replenished indefinitely, which made it less of a pity...

"I can use my Flying Thunder God Technique, and I can also use my older brother's Wood Release..."

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath, forced to acknowledge the kid's excellence: "You brat named Akihara Kagura, you're a Konoha ninja, who's the current Hokage?"

"It's the Third Hokage."

Akihara Kagura walked step by step toward Senju Tobirama, casually raised her palm, and bound the Second Hokage with Wood Release before introducing herself: "The Third Hokage is almost seventy years old this year, and I am his Hokage assistant."

"..."

Tobirama Senju slowly nodded, seemingly oblivious to Kagura Akihara's disapproving glance: "Looks like you're going to be the next Hokage of the village..."

"I may have to leave Konoha."

Kagura Akihara, seeing that Tobirama Senju didn't seem to care about her eye drops, sighed and continued, "Someone colluded with Orochimaru, ordering me to come here on a mission. I never expected to step into this trap, just like the previous Hokage who assisted Danzo and fell into one. Before he even returned to the village, he was hunted down by the villagers and forced to leave Konoha, only to be declared a rogue ninja. I might have to leave Konoha too..."

"..."

Tobirama Senju fell silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Danzo...defected? Someone forced him to defect?"

"Yes."

Akihara Kagura didn't say much.

After all, it was he who forced Shimura Danzo to defect.

Hashirama Senju became curious and asked in surprise, "Why leave Konoha? There's someone in the village colluding with rogue ninja to force you to defect. Why not just go and deal with him?"

"Big brother!"

Tobirama Senju interrupted his brother.

This guy has such poor political acumen; he didn't even realize the problem at this point. Someone so powerful, serving as the Hokage's assistant, is clearly a candidate for the next Hokage, yet he's being ordered to carry out a mission and forced to leave Konoha...

Who else but someone with more power could do that?

"Lord Orochimaru."

Kagura Akihara looked at Orochimaru and asked, "Back then, you defected and became a rogue ninja, yet you weren't killed by the Third Hokage. You continued to receive resources for scientific research and were even able to learn forbidden techniques from the Scroll of Sealing. Who was supporting you behind the scenes?"

"..."

Orochimaru silently watched Akihara Kagura.

Although Orochimaru didn't know what Akihara Kagura's purpose was, he knew that she definitely wanted to splash ink on the Third Hokage in front of the two Hokage.

"..."

Orochimaru gritted his teeth, a pang of conscience churning within him.

Orochimaru quickly realized he had no conscience or morals, and grinned, "Kagura-kun, shouldn't you have already guessed who's supporting me? You just don't want to believe it because that person's status is too high, right?"

Third update!

It feels weird to even lie to the dead…
