Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 215 Danzo is dead, and you still want to use him!

Most of the people present recognized Tsunade.

Aside from Akihara Kagura, who secretly plotted against Tsunade.

Orochimaru pondered Akihara Kagura's words and suddenly realized something. He had personally witnessed all the suffering Tsunade had endured and knew very well where Tsunade's weaknesses lay.

"Kagura-kun, which person did you resurrect?"

"It wasn't me."

Akihara Kagura shook her head, rejecting the idea: "I only had Yakushi Kabuto revive a Jonin from the village named Kato Dan..."

"Break..."

Orochimaru recalled the person who had died long ago.

Dan Kato, Tsunade's former lover.

Dan Kato was the first person to support Tsunade in establishing a medical ninja system and to strive for the goal of becoming Hokage, but he still died on the battlefield, causing Tsunade to completely lose her will to live.

"Broken?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi also thought of that Jonin, but he still insisted on his judgment: "Kagura, you don't understand Tsunade. Tsunade would never agree..."

Kagura Akihara looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and continued, "If it were Tsunade, the medical ninja, she might not agree, but Tsunade, as the Fifth Hokage, might not refuse..."

"!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kagura Akihara in disbelief.

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly realized his mistake, and even Tobirama Senju noticed that what the little guy named Kagura Akihara said made a lot of sense!

If Tsunade were merely a medical ninja, she would never choose such an evil technique as the Impure World Reincarnation, no matter how troublesome it might be. If Tsunade were a Hokage, her thoughts might not be so simple, because in a critical moment when Konoha is in danger, both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tobirama Senju would never refuse the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

As long as it protects the safety of Konoha...

Any method is justifiable for the Hokage.

"Third Hokage, we need you to write a will."

Akihara Kagura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and suggested, "The best part of your will would be to allow me to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to revive the Hokage, including you, to prevent Orochimaru from using your souls prematurely..."

"As for Lord Orochimaru, first help me exhume the remains of the Third Hokage, so that the village's higher-ups will know you're in danger..."

After Akihara Kagura finished speaking, she looked at Orochimaru and said, "Then I'll trouble you and Kabuto Yakushi to cause some trouble for our future Hokage..."

"What if Jiraiya became Hokage?"

Orochimaru frowned and proposed a hypothesis.

"He won't."

Kagura Akihara shook her head, her gaze then falling on the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze: "Fourth Hokage, please make the Nine-Tails inside you behave and not leak any information, lest something terrible happens to its other half..."

"..."

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered his son with Kushina Uzumaki: "Um... can I see Naruto now?"

"If our plans go smoothly..."

Kagura Akihara shrugged and continued, "However, there's no need to worry too much, because Captain Kakashi is his teacher, and I guess Jiraiya-sama probably wants to take him on as a disciple as well..."

"..."

I seem to be a little more worried now.

Minato Namikaze remembered Kushina Uzumaki's dying words.

but…

There will be a chance to see his and Kushina's child in the future.

Orochimaru glanced at Minato Namikaze, seemingly pondering all of Akihara Kagura's plans, and suddenly grinned and chuckled.

"It doesn't seem as bad as I thought..."

If we were to elaborate, setting aside Akihara Kagura, whose way of thinking is extreme, this Konoha Crush plan would actually be more beneficial to Konoha.

Danzo Shimura is really dead.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi died, he was resurrected, and even brought along the other Hokage who died in the past, so that he could openly protect the safety of Konoha. If it is possible to protect Konoha, the four Hokage may not be unable to accept the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

It could even make up for the disappointment of Minato Namikaze.

The upper echelons of Konoha all know that when Minato and Namikaze sacrificed themselves, they left behind only Naruto, an orphan. Now, Minato has the opportunity to see his grown-up child.

and many more…

Orochimaru suddenly realized something!

So, what did I gain from this plan?

"Kagura-kun".

Orochimaru realized that he seemed to have gained nothing, losing his ally Danzo Shimura and the two powerful reanimated forms of the First and Second Hokage.

What have I actually gained?

He found out about Akihara Kagura? He knew that this bastard Akihara Kagura had been secretly colluding with the Akatsuki to persecute him? How come it seems like he's been used by Akihara Kagura all along?

"Something seems off here, doesn't it?"

Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura and asked, "What you said before the Konoha Crush plan started should still stand, right?"

"About the lab funding, right?"

Akihara Kagura seemed to just remember something and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Except for not being able to provide you with Konoha's organizational structure, I can help you find a way to do everything else."

"but…"

"Lord Orochimaru..."

Kagura Akihara gazed at Orochimaru and added, "If your experiments yield any results, Konoha must share them. No matter the world, advanced technology is the path humanity must take in the future..."

"you're right."

Orochimaru smiled and stuck out his tongue, licking the corner of his mouth.

Akihara Kagura shrugged.

As a modern person, it is impossible to ignore the progress of technology, especially since the ninja world has chakra, an energy that can develop in parallel with technology.

After Orochimaru left, Akihara Kagura raised her finger and communicated with her Deva Path puppet Shisui, ordering him to lurk in Orochimaru's shadow and monitor his actions to prevent Orochimaru from having any ulterior motives.

Because Tendo Shisui can use Akihara Kagura's chakra and is also blessed by Akihara Kagura's cursed seal, if Orochimaru makes any move, Tendo Shisui can quickly use the cursed seal to control Orochimaru.

late at night.

root base.

Akihara Kagura returned here with a group of reanimated Hokage and a group of Root ninjas. Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama noticed these dual bloodline ninjas with Sharingan and Wood Release on the way and immediately sensed the abnormality in their chakra.

"Little brat..."

Tobirama Senju stared at a Root ninja, then suddenly looked at Kagura Akihara: "Something seems off about these test subjects..."

"oh."

Akihara Kagura seemed to realize something and explained, "These are survivors I rescued on the night of the Uchiha massacre. However, according to the orders of Danzo, the founder of Root, they have no names and no past, so they can no longer be considered Uchiha."

"Survivors!"

Tobirama Senju frowned and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Monkey, wasn't it said that the Uchiha clan was completely wiped out? Only one little guy named Uchiha Sasuke was left..."

"They are not Uchiha."

Akihara Kagura sighed, a hint of innocence in her eyes: "Although they have Uchiha blood, they no longer bear the Uchiha surname..."

"Lord Danzo really liked the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. I thought he would like the Uchiha clan, so I kicked out the useless people that Lord Danzo recruited and stuffed all these survivors into the Root organization that Lord Danzo founded."

"..."

Tobirama Senju clenched his fist tightly.

That brat, does not having the surname Uchiha mean he is not a member of the Uchiha clan?

Moreover, what exactly did Danzo Shimura do? Not only did the Uchiha clan not perish, but he himself was used as a sacrifice, and even his department was filled with Uchiha!

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat dumbfounded.

Hiruzen Sarutobi simply didn't know where to begin.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought that Kagura Akihara's actions tonight were enough to make him feel uncomfortable. When he heard that the Root organization founded by Danzo was filled with Uchiha, he instantly felt an extremely absurd sense of incongruity in his mind!

Danzo Shimura…

You must have died in great unease, right?

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew his old friend's thoughts: Danzo Shimura was single-mindedly focused on destroying the Uchiha clan, but the Root organization was actually full of Uchiha members...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was somewhat complicated as he hesitated, looking at Kagura Akihara: "I remember that the Konoha Police Force was massacred by Obito Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha killed the people in the Uchiha clan's territory, and even used a Tailed Beast Ball to wipe out the Uchiha clan's territory..."

"Didn't I collude with Obito Uchiha?"

Akihara Kagura shrugged and continued, "Didn't the village send off the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Kaguchi, on the eve of the massacre?"

"I gave the information about the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, to Obito Uchiha, and had Obito capture the Three-Tails Jinchuriki and hand him over to Itachi Uchiha."

"When Itachi Uchiha couldn't find these survivors on the night of the massacre, he assumed they had hidden themselves and used a Tailed Beast Ball to cleanse the Uchiha clan's territory. Everyone thought the survivors' bodies had been destroyed by the Tailed Beast Ball..."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that his understanding had been overturned once again.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, felt his understanding being refreshed time and time again. Just when he thought it was all over, a new "surprise" would appear.

but…

Perhaps this is a good thing, at least there are still Uchiha clan bloodlines in Konoha Village, it's not just Uchiha Sasuke alone.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly remembered that Akihara Kagura had asked him for Uchiha Sasuke: "No wonder you always said that you wanted Uchiha Sasuke to join your Root and to go see his clansmen. I thought..."

"The roots will not accept him."

Kagura Akihara shook her head and continued indifferently, "I'm just continuing Danzo's ideas. Sasuke Uchiha is just a brat whose fate is controlled by his brother. These survivors of Root are the real avengers."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up, "Kagura, Itachi was also a pitiful person. Everything he did was out of sheer desperation..."

"Don't worry, Third Hokage."

Akihara Kagura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and chuckled softly, "I won't let him have an easy life. Back then, he wouldn't even save Captain Hatake Kakashi. I didn't kill him on purpose; that's already being merciful to him, isn't it?"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless.

After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said, "I was also thinking about how to solve the Uchiha problem back then. I never thought that what I, as the Hokage, couldn't do, you did... Perhaps my choice was biased. I was always misled by your extremism. Your heart carries that kindness, making you the most suitable candidate to become the Fifth Hokage."

"..."

Tobirama Senju strongly disapproved of this.

However, Hashirama Senju and Minato Namikaze thought that Kagura Akihara had done a good job.

Although using Itachi Uchiha's methods seemed a bit underhanded, it successfully resolved the issue between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, preserving the Uchiha bloodline for Konoha, even though these Uchiha were loyal to Akihara Kagura.

only…

The Konoha leadership has definitely taken the blame.

The death of Shimura Danzo was truly aggrieved and unjust.

however…

The value of Shimura Danzo's works has not yet ended.

"Perfect timing, this is a good opportunity to expand the root system."

Kagura Akihara glanced at Karin and instructed, "Karin, select fifteen more squads from the remaining survivors. I will transplant First Hokage cells into them. Claim to the outside world that Lord Danzo has handed over all the dual bloodline ninjas in his possession to me..."

"Aren't the numbers a bit off?"

Karin, an extremely cautious assistant, reminded him, "Lord Kagura, Danzo initially recognized 143 Sharingan, which theoretically should be for 59 people. With 15 classes, that's 60 people. Does that mean the 60th person can only use one Sharingan?"

"Why bother with these things now!"

Tobirama Senju muttered somewhat discontentedly, interrupting Karin: "This brat has already become the strongest candidate in Konoha, and there's still anyone questioning it? I'd like to see how you managed to produce a ninja with both Sharingan and Wood Release bloodline limits, and see just how powerful they really are..."

"No, we still need to be more rigorous."

Kagura Akihara shook her head, rejecting the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's disregard for details, and instructed, "Let's just do a selection process directly. I remember they've all awakened the Sharingan, right? Anyone under forty can be directly added to Root..."

"There are quite a few people here."

Karin adjusted her glasses, pondering the Uchiha clan members Kagura had saved back then, some of whom had already grown up: "Kagura-sama, if we conduct the assessments without separating genders, we can still select over seventy people. If the number of Sharingan doesn't match up, won't people suspect that there are other Uchiha clans still living in this world...?"

Very few people know about these things.

Akihara Kagura already had a solution in mind and continued, "Then we'll forge a document from Lord Danzo, claiming that Lord Danzo has been secretly collecting Sharingan eyes, and that these experimental subjects were all created by Lord Danzo, with Root merely being the recipients. This way, we'll have evidence if anyone questions us in the future."

"..."

The eyelids of the Hokage present twitched.

Tobirama Senju's expression was particularly grim as he glared at Kagura Akihara with a sinister look: "Danzo is already dead, why are you still using them?"
