Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 21 Kabuto Yakushi, I'm even more jealous of you now.

When someone is sad, it's noticeable.

Akihara Kagura looked very sad as she recounted her story.

At this moment, the boy didn't seem like someone consumed by jealousy and hatred; he simply resembled a child who had been abandoned.

"..."

Yakushi Kabuto remained silent.

Kabuto Yakushi believed that his fate had already been very difficult.

Kabuto Yakushi, in order to raise more funds for the orphanage and to avoid putting Nono Yakushi in a difficult position, voluntarily sacrificed himself by joining the Root organization and becoming a spy ninja whose life was constantly in danger, always walking on the edge of death.

However, compared to Akihara Kagura…

Kabuto felt incredibly lucky once again.

Because her sacrifice was worthwhile, Dean Pharmacist Nonou always cared about her, and this care even aroused jealousy in another child with the same fate.

"I have no idea."

Kabuto lowered his head slightly, his expression hesitant and uneasy: "In the past few years, I have never received any news from the director, nor have I even seen him..."

Kabuto hesitated for a moment, seemingly feeling he had to apologize to the boy: "I'm sorry, I didn't know any of this."

This resembles the pity of a superior for a subordinate.

Kabuto Yakushi never considered himself to be in a superior position.

But in front of this boy who had been forgotten by Dean Yakushi Nonou, Yakushi Kabuto felt as if he were a lucky person who had suddenly obtained a treasure for no reason, while the boy was a person who struggled desperately to obtain the treasure but had gained nothing.

This made Kabuto feel like a thief…

At this moment, Kabuto felt a pang of guilt.

Even though he had never done anything to wrong Akihara Kagura, Kabuto felt a warmth and happiness in his heart because of Dean Yakushi Nonou's excessive care for him, but he also felt ashamed of the forgotten boy.

Although I feel somewhat ashamed and apologetic...

But Kabuto Yakushi feels truly happy now.

however…

Happiness may be readily available, but protecting it is not so easy and often requires going through hardships.

"You know nothing."

A mocking smile appeared on Akihara Kagura's lips, as if she were looking at someone who knew nothing: "What a coincidence... Dean Yakushi Nonou also knows nothing."

"What?"

Kabuto felt his mind go blank and instinctively asked, "What do you mean? The director doesn't know anything either, what does that mean?"

"pocket."

Kagura Akihara asked a fatal question: "When you joined Root a few years ago, you were younger than I am now..."

"However, you've been in Root for over four years, so you must be thirteen or fourteen now, right? We all grow up quickly, and our appearances change from when we were kids... Do you remember you just saying how long it's been since you last saw Dean Yakushi Nonou?"

"From the moment I entered the root organization..."

Kabuto Yakushi had a vague feeling that he and Dean Nono Yakushi were caught in a conspiracy.

"so…"

Kagura Akihara looked at Kabuto Yakushi and asked coaxingly, "Would you like to guess how Dean Nonou Yakushi wants to see you?"

"photo!"

Kabuto's eyes turned cold, and he almost gritted his teeth as he said the answer: "Director Nonou must have asked for a photo of me as an adult, but you had them give the director a fake photo..."

Kabuto Yakushi was a very intelligent person, and he immediately remembered that Akihara Kagura had mentioned the photo in Training Ground No. 9.

In an instant, Kabuto Yakushi also understood the conspiracy against him and Dean Nono Yakushi: a photo of himself as an adult was enough to cause trouble!

"You're really smart, you guessed right again!"

Kagura Akihara looked at Kabuto Yakushi with admiration, then corrected him, "However, it wasn't me who gave him the fake photo, it was Danzo-sama who gave him the fake photo... I'm just a child, what authority could I possibly have in Root?"

"That's not necessarily true..."

Kabuto shook his head and replied, "All the Root ninjas are afraid of you, which proves that Danzo Shimura must value you highly. He won't object to whatever you want to do."

"It's perfectly normal for you to have Shimura Danzo give Dean Nonou fake photos of me because you were jealous of Dean Nonou's concern for you..."

"Tsk..."

Kagura Akihara sighed, but didn't refute him. She continued slowly, "What you said is true to some extent. Dean Yakushi Nonou is indeed very concerned about you. She's been asking for your photos, wanting to know if you're safe and sound..."

"Really..."

"She always thinks about you..."

"But they never asked about me."

"In order to ensure that Dean Yakushi Nonou could continue to provide intelligence to the Root organization, Lord Danzo gradually replaced all your photos with fakes. The photos that Dean Yakushi Nonou gradually saw were all fakes, and she had no idea what you looked like."

"If it ended here, that would be fine. All it takes is a fake to allow Dean Pharmacist Nonou to continue providing intelligence to the Root organization..."

"However…"

"You, the real deal, are still alive."

"Lord Danzo sent you out on dangerous missions time and time again, hoping you would sacrifice yourself in the process, but you survived each time."

"What a lucky escape..."

"Successfully completing tasks time and time again..."

"Your talent has finally been recognized by Lord Danzo, who wants you to become a spy who can serve the Root organization forever, but he finds that he has to face a problem."

"If you want to stay in Root, you and Dean Nono Yakushi will meet sooner or later, and then all the lies will be exposed."

When Akihara Kagura said this, she suddenly added, "That's not surprising. If it's a lie, it will be exposed sooner or later."

"but…"

"Lord Danzo is incapable of making mistakes."

"Therefore, he will definitely deal with his mistake."

"so…"

Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice, "You don't want me to see Dean Nonou alive, or you don't want Dean Nonou to see me alive."

"That's what Lord Danzo originally thought."

Kagura Akihara crossed her arms and sighed, "Lord Danzo prefers you because he believes that Dean Yakushi Nonou has never been loyal enough, so he has been thinking about when to kill her..."

"..."

Kabuto's body trembled slightly.

This feeling of panic, that the most important thing in his life was out of control, swept over him.

Kabuto's fingers dug tightly into his flesh, a layer of cold sweat slowly seeping from his forehead. He felt like he had guessed something: "Why...why are you telling me this? Is it...to make me commit suicide now, so that Dean Nonou can live?"

"That's what I thought too."

Kagura Akihara raised her eyebrows and continued nonchalantly, "But I heard something... Dean Yakushi Nonou has always wanted to make a deal with Lord Danzo. She can do anything for Lord Danzo to get you out of Root in exchange for your liberation."

"pocket…"

"I'm even more jealous of you now."

Why didn't she think of rescuing me?

"Why didn't she think of rescuing me when I was sent to Root's base to be used as human test subjects?"

First update!

The process of achieving beauty is often painful...
