Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 205 My roots are all Uchiha!

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was somewhat indecisive.

Even before the battle began, Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly wanted to kill Danzo Shimura just like the First Hokage Hashirama Senju killed Madara Uchiha, but the moment Danzo Shimura formed the Reconciliation Seal, his body involuntarily stopped.

The Seal of Reconciliation.

This handprint also symbolizes the end of their conflict.

"You bastard..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, put away his golden cudgel, and stretched out his arm toward Danzo Shimura, wanting to pull Danzo up from the ground, just like when they finished their ninja sparring many years ago.

"..."

Danzo Shimura hesitated for a moment before grabbing Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi grasped Danzo's hand with mixed feelings.

Ultimately, his fate was different from that of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju; he did not kill his friend like the First Hokage did.

"Behave yourself from now on."

Hiruzen Sarutobi forcefully pulled Danzo Shimura to his feet, and said in a deep voice, "We're already so old, and you still have to cause so much trouble..."

"snort…"

Danzo Shimura's lips still held a hint of resentment.

When Shimura Danzo took the initiative to form the reconciliation seal with Sarutobi Hiruzen, it also meant that he had chosen to surrender and admit defeat to Sarutobi Hiruzen, acknowledging that he had lost to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

but…

Danzo Shimura knew very well what was going on.

This seal of reconciliation is merely a temporary means of survival; it is not the end of my defeat to Hiruzen Sarutobi, but rather the beginning of my impending victory in this battle.

Ninja...

We should stop at nothing to achieve our goals!

If he wanted to win, he could have used his ultimate move to take Hiruzen Sarutobi down with him. However, Danzo Shimura didn't want Kagura Akihara and Orochimaru to enjoy the benefits of his death. Why should his death here benefit his two allies?

"You're really good this time!"

Danzo Shimura had a plan in mind and treated Hiruzen Sarutobi a little more politely.

"Do you want a next time?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi rebuked Danzo Shimura again, continuing, "After the Chunin Exams, you'll have to explain everything you've done these past few years, including what Orochimaru did. From now on, you'd better stay in the village and not go out..."

"snort…"

Danzo Shimura felt a little resentful again.

Their battle is over.

The barrier of the Crimson Sun Formation slowly dissipated.

Akihara Kagura and Hatake Kakashi walked in.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, glanced at Kagura Akihara and handed Danzo Shimura over to his former subordinate for safekeeping: "Kagura, take Danzo back and keep him under your guard."

"Yes."

Akihara Kagura nodded in agreement.

"..."

Shimura Danzo squinted at Akihara Kagura.

Everything was proceeding according to their plan. He had exhausted Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra and was taken back to the Root base by Kagura Akihara. The rest was left to Orochimaru to handle.

"Let's go, Lord Danzo."

Akihara Kagura took the initiative to walk up to Shimura Danzo.

Just then, Karin and Shino Aburame's final Chunin Exam battle was about to begin, and Karin immediately chose to concede defeat.

Kagura Akihara withdrew her wood clone and returned to the Root base with Karin and Danzo Shimura, as the test was over.

"Has the third round of the Chunin Exams ended?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, who was walking towards the platform, waiting for the Kazekage to take the stage so they could deliver their closing speeches for the joint exam.

Although the Chunin Exams had a minor hiccup caused by Danzo Shimura and the Hidden Mist ninja, it ultimately ended perfectly.

Konoha swiftly quelled the Kirigakure ninja's riot, demonstrating its current strength to all its allies and deterring anyone from harboring any further ambitions against Konoha. Overall, the test achieved its objective.

The only imperfection…

It's probably because his image as Hokage has been somewhat damaged.

Since many people now know about his secret relationship with Danzo Shimura, it will inevitably affect his image as Hokage, but it doesn't matter.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had also considered it and decided to retire again after the Chunin Exams, allowing Jiraiya to take over as Hokage.

root base.

When Akihara Kagura and Karin brought Shimura Danzo back, Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune were waiting for them at the entrance of the Root Base, which made Shimura Danzo feel a little more relaxed.

Obviously.

There shouldn't be any problems inside the root base.

"Our mission is over."

Danzo Shimura glanced at Kagura Akihara and continued, "Next, we just wait for Orochimaru to kill the monkey, and our plan will be complete..."

As Shimura Danzo spoke, he recalled what Hiruzen Sarutobi had said on the high platform: "However, the monkey mentioned that you are not allowed to succeed as Hokage..."

"Don't worry."

Akihara Kagura chuckled and turned to look at Shimura Danzo: "After Orochimaru kills the Third Hokage, I'll avenge him by killing Orochimaru, then I can rightfully succeed him as Hokage, won't I?"

Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo and continued to deceive him: "The reason I changed the order of appearance in the Konoha Crush plan was to separate Lord Danzo and Orochimaru. Everyone would think that Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage, and Lord Danzo would be completely unaware of it. I was just trying to save you out of kindness..."

"Betrayed Orochimaru?"

After thinking for a second, Shimura Danzo agreed with Akihara Kagura's statement: "That works too. Anyway, once the monkey is gone, that guy won't be of much use anymore..."

Betraying allies is such a thing...

Danzo Shimura, of course, didn't feel any psychological pressure.

Moreover, after the Chunin Exams, Danzo Shimura believed that he and Kagura Akihara had seized power in Konoha, and that keeping Orochimaru around would be pointless.

Orochimaru's only use is in bioscience and technology.

Even if Shimura Danzo wanted to possess Wood Release and the Sharingan, there were qualified test subjects within Konoha Village, and perhaps Hiruzen Sarutobi even left behind complete experimental records.

Even though Shimura Danzo already knew the outcome, he still seemed somewhat resentful: "I've wasted so much time, and in the end, it's still you brat who will become the village's Hokage, while I remain a root guarding Konoha in the shadows..."

After causing trouble in Konoha for so many years, and even becoming a rogue ninja for so many years, I've ended up being the leader of Root again, while this brat wants to become Hokage...

"Wasn't this what we agreed on?"

Akihara Kagura extended her hand to invite Shimura Danzo into the base's corridor, then turned her head and instructed Karin: "Go and call everyone out to welcome Lord Danzo home."

"Yes."

Karin lowered her head and agreed.

"snort…"

Danzo Shimura gave a disdainful snort, but inwardly he was fairly satisfied with Akihara Kagura's arrangements.

Several years later.

He had finally returned to Konoha and regained control of Root. The only change might be that the Hokage of the village would soon be Kagura Akihara instead of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

As Shimura Danzo walked deeper into the Root base, he slowly said, "Kagura, Root doesn't seem to be developing very well these past few years. You've always been suppressed by the monkey and haven't been able to grasp power within Root. I've said it before, don't try to change Root, which I founded..."

"This change is beneficial."

Akihara Kagura shook her head, looked at Shimura Danzo and chuckled, "At least in my hands, the number and strength of Root are much greater than before..."

Are these people reliable?

Shimura Danzo glanced at Akihara Kagura, then continued to himself, "Even if the monkey planted people, it doesn't matter. The monkey will die today anyway. I'll slowly weed out those who aren't suitable for Root..."

"rest assured."

"After today, everything will be reliable."

Akihara Kagura chuckled and opened her palm, saying, "I originally wanted to change Root as well, but I've found that Lord Danzo's method of gathering Root's manpower is correct..."

"The current root system..."

"They are all homeless people in the ninja world."

As Akihara Kagura finished speaking, she looked at the group of dark figures emerging from the depths of the Root base. There were men, women, old and young among them, all wearing masks.

"Are there this many people?"

Danzo Shimura felt that there were too many people in Root and was somewhat dissatisfied: "Root are ninjas who walk in the shadows, we don't need so many useless people..."

In particular, some people's hair is gray.

Even though these people were wearing masks, Danzo Shimura could tell they were old. He sneered, "Root doesn't need useless trash. Some should be disposed of when it's time to get rid of them..."

"Sometimes even a piece of scrap paper has its use..."

Kagura Akihara smiled and said, turning to look at everyone present: "Everyone here, let Lord Danzo get to know you all. Your names have all appeared on Lord Danzo's desk list, but it seems you've rarely had the chance to meet..."

"Take this opportunity..."

Akihara Kagura slowly stepped aside, her smile seemingly impossible to suppress: "Let Lord Danzo meet us, so we can all get to know each other!"

"Have I seen their names before?"

Danzo Shimura frowned, squinting at the group with some confusion.

next moment!

A cluster of scarlet eyes lit up!

"Sharingan..."

Danzo Shimura immediately recognized those eyes!

However, before Shimura Danzo could figure out what was going on, he saw one pair of scarlet eyes after another appear in his field of vision!

Among the dark mass of people, all of them possessed a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes. The scarlet eyes were quite conspicuous in the darkness, appearing somewhat eerie in this gloomy base, as if these guys were a group of monsters that would devour people at any moment!

but…

This isn't the scariest place!

The most terrifying thing is that these people didn't have transplanted eyes; their eyes were transformed from normal eyes into Sharingan, which means that these people are all of Uchiha bloodline!

These people…

They're all from the Uchiha clan!

Danzo Shimura's heart skipped a beat!

What kind of joke is this? Weren't the Uchiha clan of Konoha wiped out on the night of the massacre? Why are there still so many Uchiha alive?!

Why are all these living Uchiha clans in Root?

Shimura Danzo's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head in disbelief to look at Akihara Kagura, staring intently at her face, which wore a playful smile!

Are you unhappy?

Akihara Kagura smiled as she looked at the shock on Shimura Danzo's face, as if she were asking for credit: "Lord Danzo, didn't you really like the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan? So I removed all the people you left in Root and replaced them all with Uchiha..."

"you!"

Danzo Shimura was filled with shock and anger. His pupils even widened instantly. His heart was racing so fast that he felt the blood rushing to his brain. His nerves were also unusually tense, almost making his head explode and leaving him unable to utter a complete sentence!

"Logistics team...training team...combat team..."

Akihara Kagura held out her hand, counting her fingers one by one: "If you really think about it, the people cleaning the base are all Uchiha..."

"What exactly is going on..."

"What happened?!"

Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth, struggling to keep from collapsing in shock. He was determined to get the truth out of him: "Tell me, what exactly happened! The Uchiha clan... wasn't it wiped out long ago?!"

"The Uchiha clan is extinct..."

Kagura Akihara shrugged, her nonchalant attitude suggesting she was talking about something indifferent: "These Uchiha who survived the night of the massacre have nowhere to go, so I can only arrange for them to stay at the Root organization founded by Lord Danzo, to give them a place to live..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura's heart started beating even faster.

He had dedicated his life to eliminating the Uchiha clan, which threatened the peace and stability of Konoha. He never imagined that the Root organization he founded would one day be filled with Uchiha!

"Lord Danzo, calm down."

Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo and continued with a smile, "However, I've always been worried that Lord Danzo might not be able to accept it psychologically in the short term..."

"fortunately."

"On the night of the massacre, I guessed that the Third Hokage might strip Danzo of his power, so I immediately offered to take over Root, saving it from disbandment and leaving a home for the surviving Uchiha..."

"In order to ensure that the entire Root organization is composed of Uchiha clan members, and to give Lord Danzo a surprise, I have no choice but to find a way to eliminate all of Lord Danzo's people..."

"but…"

"Lord Danzo will definitely be paying attention to the situation at Root..."

Kagura Akihara gazed at Danzo Shimura, her smile utterly sincere: "To prevent Lord Danzo from frequently visiting Root and discovering the surprises I've painstakingly prepared beforehand, I can only try to get them to help us all work together to drive Lord Danzo out of Konoha..."

First update!

Let's have some fun!
