Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 225 Akihara Kagura's Big Gift to Her New Boss Tsunade!

Within the town.

Inside a hotel.

Kabuto sat on the tatami mat, holding up his finger with a strange smile on his lips, remotely controlling the communication between Dan Kato, Tsunade, and the others.

Has Kagura already achieved her goal?

Tsunade has already witnessed the dangers of Orochimaru mastering the Impure World Reincarnation technique. The next step is to let Orochimaru escape, which shouldn't be a problem.

In fact.

There are still some major problems.

Enraged, Tsunade unleashed almost full power!

Orochimaru had no major problems dealing with Jiraiya, but he had to contend with the combined forces of a fully-fledged Tsunade and Jiraiya. Tsunade's summoning beast, the slug, even caused him considerable trouble. Meanwhile, his own Manda had already been sacrificed by Akihara Kagura!

Tsunade smashed Kato Dan's body with a punch, and while Kato Dan's body was unable to regenerate, she rushed directly towards Orochimaru. Her speed was so fast that it could even block the enemy's brain from transmitting signals to his body!

Orochimaru!

Tsunade kicked Orochimaru hard, making him feel as if his internal organs had been shattered. Before he could react, Tsunade punched him in the head, breaking three or four of his ribs!

"puff…"

Orochimaru opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, Orochimaru turned back to look at the battlefield, wanting to seek his support, only to find that Kato Dan, whose body had recovered, had fled the battlefield.

"asshole…"

Blood was flowing from between Orochimaru's teeth.

"Go to hell!"

Tsunade swung her fist and slammed it down, making no attempt to hide the murderous intent on her face: "How dare you toy with the souls of the dead like this..."

Boom!

Tsunade's punch shattered the ground, creating a long trench. Orochimaru could only roll to the side, narrowly avoiding the blow!

"..."

Jiraiya was sweating profusely as he watched.

"Don't even think about running away!"

The slug opened its mouth and spat out a glob of acid towards Orochimaru!

"..."

Orochimaru's body was immediately corroded and burned by the acid, causing him excruciating pain. He could only use the Orochimaru-style Substitution Technique to instantly shed his skin and heal his injuries!

"Jiraiya, Tsunade..."

Orochimaru glared at his two classmates, gritting his teeth in hatred: "Don't be so arrogant. Once I've completely perfected the Impure World Reincarnation technique, I'll utterly destroy Konoha!"

After saying that, Orochimaru's body instantly transformed into a snake, burrowed down the crack opened by Tsunade's fist, and disappeared without a trace!

"He escaped."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, sensing Orochimaru's troublesome nature: "Orochimaru is easy to defeat, but difficult to kill..."

"Return to Konoha."

Tsunade's fingers trembled slightly as she spoke in a deep voice, "Go back immediately. We must deal with Orochimaru. This time he resurrected and fought us, but who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause next!"

"Have they finally agreed to let him succeed as the Fifth Hokage?"

Jiraiya finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally achieved his goal.

Konoha Village.

Inside the Hokage Building.

Since the Fifth Hokage has not yet been chosen, Akihara Kagura and the two Hokage advisors are still discussing the village's important affairs. During this time, Konoha has gradually become more stable, with only the external villages of Kirigakure and Sunagakure remaining unresolved.

Akihara Kagura added Iwagakure to her list of targets, citing Iwagakure's dispatch of ninjas to infiltrate Konoha and gather intelligence.

The two Hokage advisors tried their best to object, but Akihara Kagura directly rejected their objections with a single sentence. They could only hope that Jiraiya would bring Tsunade back quickly: "The Fifth Hokage of the village will be back soon. Let's wait until the Hokage is succeeded before making a decision..."

"I heard that Jiraiya and the two advisors chose Lady Tsunade?"

Kagura Akihara leaned back in her chair, her fingers lightly tapping the table: "The intelligence Root received indicates that Lady Tsunade has accumulated a considerable gambling debt. Won't this affect Konoha's image?"

"..."

The two Hokage advisors frowned.

Is Akihara Kagura going to refuse Tsunade's succession as Hokage because of these things?

Don't misunderstand.

Akihara Kagura narrowed her eyes and continued seriously, "To avoid those casino debt collectors potentially affecting Konoha's image, I only plan to send Root to clean them up, so they don't spread rumors that affect Konoha's standing in the ninja world. These people connected to the casinos aren't good people either, so eliminating them is like ridding the people of a scourge..."

"..."

The two Hokage advisors nodded.

As long as Akihara Kagura doesn't oppose Tsunade's succession, they don't care about this little thing. They just need to make sure Akihara Kagura doesn't anger the nobles of the Land of Fire.

however…

Akihara Kagura couldn't be bothered with any of that.

root base.

Akihara Kagura returned here.

Kagura Akihara placed a list on the table: "Everyone in Root, mobilize immediately and clean up all the casinos in the Land of Fire. Then, according to Lady Tsunade's list of debtors, kill all the creditors on it. They're all people who have driven innocent people to ruin and death..."

"This is…"

Karin hesitated, somewhat not quite understanding.

"Kill all her creditors as a gift to our new boss."

Kagura Akihara glanced at Karin and then instructed, "The Fifth Hokage should be arriving soon. Karin, take three squads to a small town near the village and take down the gambling dens there. When you deliver the gift, make sure your superior knows who gave it to her..."

"Yes."

Karin immediately accepted the order.

The Land of Fire.

In a small town.

On their way back to Konoha with Shizune and Naruto, Tsunade and Jiraiya happened to pass through this town, and Tsunade wanted to pay off her gambling debts in the town.

result.

I saw a group of casino people being chased.

A group of masked Root ninjas were still searching for casino staff in the town when they spotted one of the casino's henchmen. Without hesitation, they flashed past and killed him with a single slash!

"Lady Tsunade!"

The casino owner is fleeing under the protection of a group of thugs!

When the casino owner saw Tsunade, he knelt before her, tears streaming down his face, pleading, "Lady Tsunade, we don't want the money you owe us, just tell your men to stop..."

"Stop!"

Tsunade immediately stopped the killing, standing in front of the Root ninja and asking in a deep voice, "Whose subordinates are you? What's going on here?"

"This is…"

Jiraiya recognized these people, and his expression turned serious: "These are Root ninjas, all Kagura's subordinates..."

"We are ordered to kill the Fifth Hokage's creditors."

A red-haired girl wearing a dog-head mask coldly ordered, "To avoid damaging the Fifth Hokage's reputation, anyone who might hinder it must be eliminated. Please do not obstruct our mission!"

"I don't want it anymore! I don't want it anymore!"

The casino owner, terrified, immediately knelt down and kowtowed, as if he had suddenly realized something: "No, no, no, Lady Tsunade has never owed me any money! I was just talking nonsense!"

"Shut up!"

The red-haired girl leaped into the air and swung her ninja sword at the attack, but Tsunade blocked her attack!

"go back!"

Tsunade stared coldly at the girl before her and said in a deep voice, "I will pay off my gambling debts. I don't need the villagers to meddle..."

Karin gazed at Tsunade and softly retorted, "If Lady Tsunade didn't have the identity of succeeding as the Fifth Hokage, we could naturally ignore it..."

"However, Lady Tsunade has become the Fifth Hokage. For the sake of Konoha's reputation, all unfavorable factors must be eliminated. In any case, these people's existence is also endangering the lives of other villagers..."

"everything…"

"It's all for Konoha!"

As Karin finished speaking, her chakra suddenly exploded, and a series of Vajra chains suddenly emerged from her back, binding their bodies and twisting their necks in an instant, killing all the casino staff!

"Karin..."

Naruto Uzumaki seemed to be frightened.

"Diamond Lockdown..."

Tsunade looked at Karin with some surprise.

This red-haired girl wearing a mask is actually a member of the Uzumaki clan!

However, Tsunade quickly realized what was happening, her brows furrowing as she looked at Karin in front of her: "Little one, didn't you hear what I just said?"

"This is for Konoha!"

Karin retrieved her Adamantine Chains and continued in a deep voice, "To maintain Konoha's reputation, we will kill all of the Fifth Hokage's creditors..."

"!!!"

Tsunade was startled by Karin's words!

Although this method did clear her gambling debts, what reputation would she have left in the ninja world?

Those who lent him money in the past were all killed by Konoha ninjas. He hadn't even succeeded to the position of Hokage yet, but his reputation had already been ruined in the ninja world.

"Go back and report."

Karin leaped onto a house and, with a few more leaps, left the town. The other Root ninjas immediately followed and left with her.

"That little guy..."

Tsunade stared at Karin's retreating figure, her expression dark and uneasy: "She looks about the same age as that brat Naruto, doesn't she? She's really decisive when it comes to killing..."

"Most Root ninjas are like that..."

Jiraiya nodded, recalling his disciple: "When I first met Kagura, he was also plotting to kill people every day..."

At this point, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and sighed, "Now you see just how extreme they can be when they act..."

"That child is not suited to stay at the roots."

Tsunade shook her head, but she already had her own plans in mind.

When Tsunade saw Karin use the Adamantine Sealing Chains, she witnessed a tremendous amount of chakra and life force. She felt that Karin might be very suitable to become a medical ninja, and planned to find an opportunity to transfer Karin to her side when she returned, so as not to let an excellent medical ninja become a killing tool.

"Let's go back first."

Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade and continued to persuade her, "When Danzo was the leader of Root, he didn't even obey the old man's orders... Perhaps it's because Danzo is still in Root that Kagura's actions have become more and more extreme."

however…

When they returned to Konoha, they realized that things were much more complicated than they had imagined.

Because Akihara Kagura sent people to deal with all the casinos in the Land of Fire, many nobles in the Land of Fire suffered serious losses and wanted to come to Konoha to ask for an explanation.

"Tsunade cannot be allowed to become Hokage!"

This became a consensus among many nobles and ministers of the Land of Fire!

no doubt.

The person behind this operation against the casino must be Tsunade, because only Tsunade would benefit the most, and all her creditors were killed.

This behavior…

This undoubtedly violates the rules of the ninja world!

Debts must be repaid, and murderers must pay with their lives, especially gambling debts—never be left unpaid!

Inside the Hokage Building.

Both of the Hokage advisors felt extremely overwhelmed.

Koharu Utatane sensed the Fire Country's hostility towards Tsunade: "Many ministers and nobles of the Fire Country are questioning our choice of a new Hokage, asking if we can nominate a new candidate. They refuse to let Tsunade succeed as the Fifth Hokage..."

"Daiming didn't comment."

Mitokado Homura, however, managed to find a piece of good news amidst the pile of bad news: "After all, Tsunade's status is noble, making her the most suitable candidate. The Daimyo doesn't seem to care much about these trivial matters, but he did advise Tsunade to be more restrained in her actions and not to be too extreme or untrustworthy..."

"This is an opportunity."

Kagura Akihara shrugged, as if it were none of her business: "If we find out which nobles and ministers are dissatisfied with the Fifth Hokage and get rid of them, then from now on, no one in the Land of Fire will oppose any of the Fifth Hokage's proposals..."

"..."

Koharu and Mitokado looked at each other in bewilderment.

While Akihara Kagura was indeed trying to consider Tsunade's future, who hadn't yet completed her succession, this was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire...

Mitokado Homura quickly stopped Akihara Kagura from taking any drastic action: "Let's not. Cleaning up the casino now has only met with opposition from nobles and ministers. If we wantonly kill nobles and ministers, it will arouse the public outrage of all the nobles in the ninja world..."

"Anyone who objects will be eliminated..."

Kagura Akihara chuckled lightly, her attitude extremely firm: "Before the Fifth Hokage takes office, eliminate all those who oppose her, even daimyo are not exempt from being killed..."

"This will cause internal strife..."

Startled, Mitokado Homura quickly tried to persuade Akihara Kagura with another reason: "Aren't you preparing for a war against Sunagakure and Kirigakure? If the political situation in the Land of Fire is in turmoil, it wouldn't be good if it led to setbacks during the war..."

"..."

Xiaochun felt something was off about switching dorm rooms.

At this moment, the very war they had been trying to stop became the reason they used to persuade Akihara Kagura not to commit massacres in the Land of Fire…

only…

They really couldn't object to Akihara Kagura.

Because Akihara Kagura did indeed want to kill for the sake of Konoha.

that is…

It's a bit like trying to help but making things worse.

At least Tsunade, the person involved, felt this deeply. The Fifth Hokage felt that the trouble she was facing was even more troublesome than being chased for debts.

Akihara Kagura and the Root ninjas were willing to help him maintain his reputation, and their intentions might be good, but doing nothing might have been better.

Third update!

Akihara Kagura's day of diligently helping her boss with work!
