Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 190 Upon seeing Akihara Kagura, Orochimaru felt much more noble...

Some things don't need to be said explicitly.

Especially when you want to frame someone.

By using ambiguous statements, one can leave others to guess what's going on.

Upon hearing Akihara Kagura's words, Orochimaru understood that this guy wanted to frame the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in front of the two Hokage, and subconsciously cooperated.

Orochimaru always knew that he was not a noble person.

However, Akihara Kagura's despicable nature far exceeded Orochimaru's understanding. Orochimaru never imagined that Akihara Kagura would be so despicable as to deceive even the emotions of the dead.

Although Orochimaru himself had deceived the dead, he believed that taking advantage of the situation was more noble.

but…

This matter is also beneficial to me.

"This is really interesting..."

Orochimaru didn't mind continuing the topic with Akihara Kagura, and even actively cooperated, saying, "The previous Hokage's assistant and the current Hokage's assistant both know the answer, but you don't want to believe it, and you have no way to change anything, right?"

"Darkness will always exist within an organization."

"However, when the source of darkness comes from the person at the very top of the organization, it signifies the collapse of will. You will find that this darkness cannot be eliminated. You either choose to leave the darkness or choose to merge into it; there is no other choice..."

When Orochimaru spoke of these philosophical principles, he took the opportunity to whitewash his teacher by smearing him with negative accusations: "However, you shouldn't blame him. For the sake of Konoha, any sacrifice, even if it meant being tainted by darkness, was justified. Perhaps I also look down on his methods and left Konoha early, but I can't help but admire the sacrifices he made for Konoha..."

"What are you guys talking about...?"

Hashirama Senju was still somewhat confused about the situation.

However, Tobirama Senju had already figured things out. From the ambiguous conversation between Orochimaru and Kagura Akihara, he roughly understood that his disciple Hiruzen Sarutobi was in some kind of trouble.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is now 69 years old and still holds the position of Third Hokage. During this period, Hiruzen Sarutobi did some dark and dirty things for Konoha.

but…

How did Hiruzen Sarutobi manage to hold power for so long?

Tobirama Senju recalled how he had passed the Hokage position to Hiruzen Sarutobi when he was thirty years old, never imagining that this disciple would have been in charge of Konoha for nearly forty years…

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who held the Hokage position for nearly forty years, was certainly not an upright official. Lacking the power of the First Hokage, he was bound to do some dark things for the sake of Konoha; this was only to be expected…

only…

Hiruzen Sarutobi went too far, forcing Danzo Shimura to defect and even plotting to kill this kid named Kagura Akihara...

Recalling the chakra erupting from Akihara Kagura, Senju Tobirama quickly understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen had done this. It was because the little guy was too strong and posed a threat to Sarutobi Hiruzen's power, or because he was dissatisfied with the dark things Sarutobi Hiruzen had done.

"You brat!"

Tobirama Senju looked at Kagura Akihara before him and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me first, what has that monkey been doing all these years? What exactly is the situation in Konoha now?"

"Hmm? What's wrong with the monkey?"

Hashirama Senju turned his head curiously, the First Hokage still not quite understanding: "Why are you suddenly bringing up the little monkey?"

"Big brother, shut up!"

Tobirama Senju quickly told his older brother to shut up, lest he ruin the image of the First Hokage among the younger generation of Konoha. They couldn't let everyone in Konoha know that the founder of Konoha was a political idiot, could they?

"You go first."

Tobirama Senju looked at Kagura Akihara again and continued, "Tell me everything exactly as it happened, and I can help you resolve it..."

"This…"

Kagura Akihara hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Tobirama Senju and whispered, "I only know one thing: the Third Hokage personally annihilated the Uchiha clan, using the First Hokage's cells and the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan to create dual bloodline ninjas. After we and Lord Danzo discovered this, the Third Hokage shifted all the blame onto the previous Hokage, who assisted Lord Danzo Shimura, forcing Lord Danzo to leave Konoha..."

"What?!"

Hashirama Senju's face paled in shock, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "The Uchiha clan was wiped out? Weren't they our comrades from the village?!"

"Big brother, shut up!"

Tobirama Senju's expression also showed some displeasure. He had known about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan when he met Team 7, so he was mentally prepared for it: "The monkey did go a bit too far in this matter..."

If Tobirama Senju were in that position, he might also use the Sharingan to conduct human experiments, though he might do it more discreetly.

"This is really going too far!"

Hashirama Senju was very unhappy with his younger brother's attempt to downplay the matter. He truly wanted to protect everyone in the village: "Tobirama, Konoha was founded by us and the Uchiha together. Under no circumstances should we harm our comrades..."

"You can't blame him for that."

Orochimaru smiled. He understood the political situation in Konoha better than anyone else, and he continued to play the role of the Third Hokage's henchman: "Because of the Second Hokage's orders, the Uchiha clan has always remained independent of the village and has never been allowed to join..."

"Tobirama!"

Hashirama Senju glared suddenly at his younger brother!

"The Uchiha clan is dangerous..."

Tobirama Senju ignored all of this, and he had his reasons: "I was just helping them find suitable positions, and I also prevented dangerous figures like Madara from appearing again in the future..."

"but…"

Kagura Akihara glanced at Tobirama Senju and whispered, "The real reason for the Uchiha clan's annihilation was that they helped the Third Hokage eliminate the Fourth Hokage. The Third Hokage was worried that the Uchiha clan would reveal this, so he destroyed them to eliminate the evidence..."

"!!!"

Everyone present turned to look at Akihara Kagura!

Kagura Akihara's dirty water not only shocked Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, but even Orochimaru looked at him with some surprise!

no…

Kagura-kun…

In this basin of dirty water...

Is there too much dirt in it?

Orochimaru has never denied that his actions were despicable, but at this moment he believes that he can actually be called noble.

however…

Orochimaru quickly grasped the essence of the matter, chuckled, and shook his head, then took the opportunity to smear his teacher: "I really didn't expect you to have found out about this too. No wonder my teacher sent me to deal with you..."

"teacher?"

Tobirama Senju frowned as he looked at Orochimaru and said in a deep voice, "You're the monkey's student? What exactly have you done for him?! What's the story behind the Fourth Hokage of Konoha? And what role did the Uchiha clan play in all of this?!"

"I am my teacher's disciple, what can I do to help him?"

Orochimaru grinned and continued, following the line of thought provided by Akihara Kagura: "Our master did indeed take on three disciples in total. I didn't lie to the First Hokage either. Tsunade is indeed my friend. However, she is the descendant of the First Hokage and is the most suitable person to succeed him as Hokage. Unfortunately, our master thought that Tsunade's ideas did not conform to the policies he had formulated, so he made her leave Konoha early..."

"Xiao Gang..."

Hashirama Senju thought of his most beloved granddaughter.

"Jiraiya has always been helping his teacher find a suitable and obedient successor, so that the villagers wouldn't gossip about his long tenure as Hokage; I, as a less-than-ideal disciple, am not honorable enough and can only do some dirty work for my teacher..."

As Orochimaru finished speaking, he looked at Akihara Kagura: "Now that you and Danzo have already uncovered the truth, it seems there's no point in hiding it any longer..."

"The Fourth Hokage did indeed behave very obediently before taking office, but after becoming Hokage, he even wanted to change his teacher's policies. The teacher could only secretly lure an Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, claiming that he was willing to let that Uchiha become Hokage. That Uchiha then controlled the Nine-Tails and created chaos in the village, killing the Fourth Hokage. In the end, the teacher managed to regain power without any major incident..."

"..."

A sense of unease flickered in Akihara Kagura's eyes. She felt that Orochimaru was truly despicable, having directly fabricated the ideas she had provided into a complete story.

"Obviously."

Orochimaru spread his hands, his expression turning grim: "The Uchiha clan's wolfish ambitions must not be allowed to remain. They dared to kill the Fourth Hokage for power, so they could naturally threaten the safety of Konoha..."

As Orochimaru spoke of this, he looked at Akihara Kagura and said, "It just so happens that Danzo reported to our teacher that the Wood Release experiment on you was successful. After you grew up, our teacher used your power to wipe out the Uchiha clan. Unexpectedly, some Uchiha who escaped the net actually told Danzo the truth..."

"This is a necessary sacrifice for Konoha..."

Orochimaru grinned and continued, "Our master originally intended to kill Danzo, but spared him because he was an old friend of many years, hoping he would behave himself. Unexpectedly, Danzo was still disobedient and told you all these things..."

There's no way.

"I was just a student helping the teacher with their problems."

When Orochimaru got to this point, following Akihara Kagura's line of thought, he made everything coherent: "Since there's something that could potentially threaten Konoha, we have to deal with it. I've already overestimated you enough, even going so far as to revive two Hokage using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. We just didn't expect you to be this strong..."

"It's...really like that?"

Akihara Kagura stared at Orochimaru in shock, seemingly unwilling to believe it: "I always thought Lord Danzo was lying to me..."

"How did that little monkey turn out like that?"

Hashirama Senju frowned, his face full of unease.

"..."

Senju Tobirama's expression was also full of shock, but as a politician, he understood his disciple's behavior very well, though he found it somewhat unacceptable.

How dare a monkey do that!

It's one thing to manipulate the destruction of the Uchiha clan!

How dare the monkey use the Uchiha clan to kill another Hokage in the village, and even force the village's more outstanding genius to defect!

A Hokage who has ruled Konoha for nearly forty years, almost seventy years old, is still not properly cultivating a future successor. Why is he still obsessed with the power of the Hokage? In recent years, Konoha has produced so many talented people that you would give up a genius comparable to your elder brother?

"Even if you knew the truth, what difference would it make?"

Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura, chuckled, and continued, "Can you really change the ending of the story? All the ninjas in the village will only choose to support my teacher..."

"..."

Akihara Kagura silently lowered her shoulders.

"Leave Konoha, Kagura."

Orochimaru licked his lips and offered his advice: "As long as you leave Konoha and don't reveal all the secrets, Teacher won't want to kill you anymore, because no one in the village is stronger than you. Perhaps you can protect Konoha in the shadows, just like me..."

"This isn't Konoha!"

Hashirama Senju frowned, his expression furious as he tried to break free from the vines' restraints, even his will wanting to escape Orochimaru's control!

Hashirama Senju recalled his words to Madara Uchiha, looked at the somewhat dejected Kagura Akihara, and earnestly advised, "If anyone threatens Konoha's existence, no matter who they are, even if they are the Hokage... they must be eliminated!"

"..."

Tobirama Senju sighed with a complex expression, then looked at Kagura Akihara: "Kid, your older brother is right. What you need to do now is eliminate the threat to Konoha. The monkey's existence is already a cancer to Konoha..."

Although Tobirama Senju believed that Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions were political maneuvering, all interests should prioritize Konoha, not his power.

This kid named Akihara Kagura is a unique genius and the foundation for Konoha to continue dominating the ninja world for decades to come. How could they force such a genius to defect and even try to assassinate him with his disciple!

"..."

Akihara Kagura hung her head, still somewhat at a loss.

Because Akihara Kagura was seriously pondering a question: Could a superior issue orders even if they were dead?

[System Notification]: [New mission (Hashirama Senju): For the sake of Konoha, kill any threat to Konoha, and eliminate the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, a scourge upon Konoha.]

[System Notification]: [New mission (Tobirama Senju): For the sake of Konoha, spare no effort to eliminate the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the scourge of Konoha.]

"Kid, kill this guy named Orochimaru first..."

Tobirama Senju seemed to understand Kagura Akihara's problem and offered a solution: "Even if the caster dies, as long as the Impure World Reincarnation isn't dispelled, the resurrected person can still move freely. Take my brother and me to Konoha to see the monkey, and I'll help you solve the monkey problem..."

"..."

Akihara Kagura suddenly raised her head, a glimmer of light appearing in her eyes.

"Please don't kill me?"

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Actually, I'm also worried that the teacher might want to get rid of me, the one who knows the truth, since I've done quite a few dirty things for him..."

When Orochimaru got to this point, he seemed to be adding or reminding him, "Kagura-kun, don't forget, Shimura Danzo is in my hands. Only I know Danzo's whereabouts."

"You're the one who took Lord Danzo away!"

Akihara Kagura clenched her fists in anger!

"good."

Orochimaru, seeing Akihara Kagura still performing with perfect composure, smiled again: "Who told him to think I was also a rogue ninja expelled from Konoha by the master? He thought I also had evidence against the master, and he kept trying to see me. My identity as a rogue ninja could have drawn away many enemies for the master and solved many problems. I captured him with ease..."

First update!

It's a little late!

Because it's hard to write articles that smear someone's reputation!

Damn, I feel like I'm going down a weird path!
