Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 212 My senior brother Changmen and I are from the same sect, so it's normal for us to visit each other occasionally, right?

"Lord Danzo did it voluntarily."

Kagura Akihara looked at Danzo Shimura on the stretcher, glanced at the wound on his chest, and nodded with satisfaction: "Fortunately, Lord Danzo's wound hasn't healed yet, so we can directly transplant Hashirama's cells to make his vitality stronger..."

"..."

Orochimaru did not believe that Shimura Danzo would willingly sacrifice himself.

After all, when Shimura Danzo saw Akihara Kagura, he immediately started cursing and swearing, looking like he wanted to tear Akihara Kagura to pieces!

"asshole!"

"You bastard!"

"I will definitely kill you!"

"Akihara Kagura, you evil brat who's endangering Konoha!"

As Shimura Danzo continued his tirade, he noticed Orochimaru standing next to Akihara Kagura, and his expression immediately darkened: "Orochimaru, were you involved too?"

"..."

Orochimaru shook his head with mixed feelings.

Orochimaru never expected that the sacrifice that Akihara Kagura had prepared in advance for the resurrection of Sarutobi Hiruzen would be Shimura Danzo!

This guy…

What exactly do they take the alliance for?

but…

If you think about it carefully...

There's a subtle sense of destiny to this kind of thing!

Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi were old friends and rivals for many years. Their bond lasted for nearly seventy years, and they could not be separated even at the end of their lives.

Is this what bonds are?

"It's noisy."

Akihara Kagura picked at her ear and ordered, "Place Lord Danzo in front of the Third Hokage, let these two old friends see each other one last time! Whether in life or in death, this may be their last meeting..."

"!!!"

When Shimura Danzo suddenly saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse lying on the ground, he couldn't bring himself to curse anymore, and a look of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

"Monkey, this is my fault!"

Danzo Shimura stared down at Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse, his eyes still filled with hatred: "If I hadn't greedily let that evil brat Akihara Kagura into Konoha, this wouldn't have happened..."

"Lord Danzo, please accept my condolences."

Kagura Akihara stood beside Danzo Shimura and kindly advised, "Let's not say anything unpleasant. The Third Hokage certainly wouldn't want to hear such things. Let's make him happy when he comes!"

"..."

Orochimaru touched his nose.

"..."

Shimura Danzo glared hatefully at Akihara Kagura.

Does this bastard even speak human language?

Who would be happy to be resurrected through Edo Tensei and become a manipulated puppet!

and…

That bastard even told him to accept his condolences!

"Please accept my condolences, Lord Danzo."

Akihara Kagura even patted Shimura Danzo on the shoulder in a friendly manner and continued, "Because Lord Danzo will soon become a sacrifice, to die in place of the Third Hokage..."

"Huh? Please accept my condolences?"

Danzo Shimura was so angry that he laughed instead.

The murderer who was about to kill him even told him to accept his fate!

This evil little devil who used him as a sacrifice was even telling him to take care of himself!

"I can only offer my condolences to Lord Danzo."

Kagura Akihara glanced at Orochimaru, then surveyed the surrounding Root ninjas: "Because apart from Lord Danzo himself, it seems no one in Konoha, or even the ninja world, would be saddened by Lord Danzo's death, right?"

"..."

Everyone present fell silent.

Even Orochimaru's expression was somewhat strange.

Akihara Kagura is right. Apart from Shimura Danzo himself, no one in Konoha or the entire ninja world should be saddened by Shimura Danzo's death.

"..."

Danzo Shimura's anger and hatred faltered.

These are the truths…

It would be too hurtful to say it out loud.

The Root ninjas acted quickly, immediately positioning Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen so that Shimura Danzo could see Sarutobi Hiruzen's body before he died.

This scene…

It's a harmony that feels somewhat eerie.

Orochimaru frowned as he looked at the living Danzo Shimura and the dead Hiruzen Sarutobi. Then he thought about the soon-to-die Danzo Shimura and the soon-to-be-resurrected Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he couldn't find anything wrong with either of them. It seemed that this kind of thing was justified.

"Let's get started!"

Kagura Akihara took the Hashirama cells, glanced at Danzo Shimura's still-healing chest, and injected the Hashirama cells directly into his wound.

"Is the activity of the offerings enhanced using interstitial cells?"

Orochimaru stared intently at Akihara Kagura's movements, a strange glint in his eyes: "So you've even figured out how to enhance the power of Edo Tensei users? But the stronger the Edo Tensei user, the harder they are to control..."

As the Hashirama cells entered Danzo Shimura's body, Danzo's body suddenly swelled up, and clumps of white substances continued to spread across his body!

"This old man..."

Danzo Shimura felt a pain as his body was gradually being eroded, and the muscles on his face trembled incessantly. Unable to move, he could only watch helplessly as Hiruzen Sarutobi lay dead in front of him.

"monkey…"

Danzo Shimura knew that his body was being eroded by Hashirama's cells at an increasingly rapid pace, and even clumps of white flesh were growing on his face. His body had completely spiraled out of control, and he could die here at any moment!

"Ninja..."

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

Akihara Kagura stretched out her palm and slammed it onto the ground. A black spell quickly formed on the ground. This black spell was extremely large and instantly appeared under Shimura Danzo's body and Sarutobi Hiruzen's corpse!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse quietly turned into a clump of ashes and paper scraps, which clung tightly to Danzo Shimura's body, enveloping his old friend's body!

"monkey…"

"This time, it's my turn..."

"Did my death bring you new life?"

"But I still didn't become Hokage, and the crisis in Konoha is still not resolved. I can only watch all of this from the Pure Land of the Underworld..."

Danzo Shimura felt a suffocating sensation; he knew his life was coming to an end, and that his death would bring about Hiruzen Sarutobi's resurrection…

When all the ashes and scraps of paper were wrapped around Shimura Danzo, his voice finally disappeared completely, and his body slowly transformed into the appearance of another person.

Danzo Shimura is dead.

But another person was resurrected!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha!

only…

Clear cracks appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, and even his eyes seemed somewhat lifeless, indicating that he was an Edo Tensei user.

This is somewhat different from the Impure World Reincarnation technique used by Orochimaru, perhaps because the power of Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was resurrected this time, was somewhat stronger.

"This is…"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, immediately recognizing that he had been resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique. He abruptly raised his gaze to look at everyone present.

Orochimaru.

Akihara Kagura.

There is also a group of Root ninjas.

"Kagura".

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Kagura Akihara, recalling Orochimaru's dying words to him: "So, you were the one behind the Konoha Crush plan after all?"

This was completely unexpected for him!

Akihara Kagura, that little guy, is actually the one who orchestrated the Konoha Crush plan!

Hiruzen Sarutobi never imagined that Kagura Akihara would be so cunning, because Kagura Akihara always said what he meant and never made anyone suspect that he would do anything bad behind the scenes. After all, he usually just said it when he wanted to do something bad.

"rest assured."

Kagura Akihara nodded and said softly, "Third Hokage, I will not harm Konoha's interests. In fact, my presence will make Konoha stronger."

"Why do you do this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kagura Akihara, suspicious of his motives: "Is it because I haven't handed the Hokage position to you?"

"I don't want to do that."

Kagura Akihara shook her head and continued, "But Lord Danzo insisted on doing it this way. He wanted to clear himself of the fact that you used him as a double bloodline ninja to frame him..."

"Framed? That's not Danzo..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, but after only a second of thought, he saw the Root ninjas present and instantly realized the truth: "Wait... it's you!"

"it's me."

Kagura Akihara looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with great satisfaction and continued, "I did everything. I framed Lord Danzo and drove him out of Konoha. I also framed the Hokage, causing you to be misunderstood by Lord Danzo..."

"Where is Danzo?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head to search for Danzo's figure.

Kagura Akihara looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and sighed, "The Third Hokage also read the records in the Scroll of Seals, so he should know that reviving someone requires a sacrifice, right?"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's forehead twitched as he considered a possibility: "You used Danzo as a sacrifice to resurrect me?"

That's it.

Akihara Kagura nodded and continued, "Tomorrow is the Third Hokage's funeral. I was worried that the Third Hokage wouldn't be able to attend, so I specially resurrected you..."

"I won't be able to attend my funeral..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a strange feeling that was beyond his imagination.

Because in the nearly seventy years before his death, he had never heard of such a thing as bringing someone back to life to attend his own funeral!

"Let's go take a look."

Kagura Akihara softly offered a word of advice to Hiruzen Sarutobi, hoping the old man would understand the current situation: "By the way, the Chunin Exams were very successful this time. Is the Hokage satisfied?"

"Can this be considered a success?"

A bitter smile appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips.

"Didn't the Chunin Exams not get delayed?"

Kagura Akihara nodded and continued, "I've given you a grand exit, Lord Danzo and Lord Orochimaru a grand entrance, and Konoha an excuse to wage war against Sunagakure and Kirigakure. I can force them to sign even harsher treaties..."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat speechless.

If what Akihara Kagura said is true, this matter is actually advantageous to Konoha, because Kirigakure and Sunagakure killed Konoha's Third Hokage, giving Konoha an excuse to start a war, and Konoha will never let it go.

Akihara Kagura no longer has her own boss.

From then on, no one in Konoha could suppress Akihara Kagura. Although Jiraiya was Akihara Kagura's teacher, he might not think like a politician and could suppress his disciple. He might even push all the blame onto Akihara Kagura.

and…

If Akihara Kagura is truly suppressed, she might just eliminate Jiraiya.

Akihara Kagura…

They gained the possibility of taking control of Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart was immediately filled with worry.

Akihara Kagura felt relieved to see her boss resurrected.

[System Notification]: [Mission complete. Reward: Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning.]

[Fire Release: Ash Pile Burn (Exhales high-temperature smoke that scorches the enemy; the smoke will cause a high-temperature explosion. With the enhancement of a Forbidden Technique Master, the range of smoke released by Fire Release: Ash Pile Burn is even wider.)]

This is Hiruzen Sarutobi's family's ninjutsu.

These rewards are dispensable to Akihara Kagura; their only use is to fuse and create even more terrifying composite ninjutsu, such as combining Ash Pile Burning and Dust Release to strike someone silently.

but…

This is an extremely awkward time.

If they make any big moves in the ninja world, or try to sweep through the ninja world by relying on their strength, it will easily arouse Black Zetsu's vigilance and attention.

If Akihara Kagura still wants Black Zetsu to become her superior, she must be careful not to reveal too much, as Black Zetsu has two superiors she desperately needs behind her.

In this situation, if Akihara Kagura wants to become stronger, she can only help her superiors with some minor tasks, which will allow her to continue to increase her strength, and there might even be a chance to find a large mine.

"alright."

Kagura Akihara glanced at Orochimaru beside her and continued, "Let's let the Third Hokage calm down first, then we can proceed to the next step..."

"Hmm? What's the next step?"

Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi's expressions changed simultaneously.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Orochimaru and Kagura Akihara with some shock, wondering if they had some unknown plans or other ideas.

Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura with some shock, because Orochimaru didn't know what other plans they had. Wasn't their only plan to destroy Konoha?

"Do you remember your promise?"

Kagura Akihara looked at Orochimaru and said softly, "Lord Orochimaru, you once said you'd lend me Manda for a while..."

"What do you want to do with the ten thousand snakes?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi knew about Manda, an evil summoning beast, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade were known as the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and their summoning beasts played a significant role.

Once Manda wreaks havoc in Konoha...

The chaos it causes will be no less than the chaos caused by the Tailed Beasts!

"Should we use Manda now?"

Orochimaru chuckled lightly and offered a friendly reminder: "If you want Manda to help you, you usually need to prepare offerings for it beforehand..."

When Orochimaru got to this point, he shared the same thought as his teacher: "Kagura-kun, you wouldn't actually want Manda to create chaos in Konoha, would you? Have me and Manda stir up trouble, and then you stop it? So you'd have a better chance of becoming Hokage?"

"The giant snake must be quite large. Let's find a more spacious place."

Akihara Kagura glanced at the Root base, ignoring Orochimaru's words, and casually dismissed White Zetsu Awei: "Awei, go tell Nagato that I've made Lord Danzo feel the pain, and ask him if he's satisfied with my work..."

"it is good."

White Zetsu Awei popped his head up and immediately sank back down.

"You have connections with Nagato?"

Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura, a hint of suspicion clearly appearing in his eyes: "Kagura-kun, you don't actually have some kind of connection with the Akatsuki, do you? You were the one who mentioned that Akatsuki members had contacted you and tried to get me to join..."

"There's only a tiny, insignificant connection."

Kagura Akihara didn't intend to bring up topics that would upset Orochimaru at this moment: "You should also know that Nagato and I are both students of Jiraiya-sensei, so we inevitably visit each other sometimes. There are many things that are inconvenient for him to do, and I occasionally help him out..."

"Let's go to a spacious place first, so I can have a good talk with Wanshe. We can discuss other things later; the night is still long..."

Second update!
