Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 248 Three years have passed, and the Uchiha fledglings have grown up!

"They're here!"

Four figures emerged from the snowstorm!

When Obito Uchiha saw them, his first thought was to use Kamui to teleport away, but two figures instantly appeared beside him!

"That's the same trick again!"

Obito Uchiha deeply hated the Flying Thunder God mark on his body, but he had no way to remove it. He could only instantly enter a state of intangibility to evade it!

"Izanagi!"

Obito Uchiha didn't expect to be able to defeat them.

Over the past few years, Obito Uchiha had considered countless methods, even utilizing the Yin-Yang Release black rods left behind by Madara Uchiha. While the Yin-Yang Release black rods were somewhat useful against reanimated individuals, they were inevitably insufficient against the four Hokage…

There's no point in keeping it any longer.

Staying here will only mean getting beaten up.

Obito Uchiha quickly completed the hand seals for Izanagi, and while Izanagi was still invincible, he used his Mangekyou Sharingan to put himself into the space-time dimension.

of course.

This is quite troublesome.

Because Obito Uchiha would have to show up from time to time.

If they were to disappear from the ninja world, these four Hokage, who would have been buried and put in their coffins long ago, would go to the Land of Rain to investigate the Akatsuki organization.

"He escaped again."

Tobirama Senju expressionlessly put away his kunai.

"Let's go."

Minato Namikaze was no exception in this regard.

These Hokage were already used to hunting down Obito Uchiha, so they left on their own, waiting to sense Obito's whereabouts again.

These Hokage relied entirely on the speed of White Zetsu to hunt down Obito Uchiha. As long as White Zetsu could relay messages between them quickly enough, the period between Obito being hunted down and released would be shorter.

root base.

Akihara Kagura is twenty-one years old.

In the past two or three years, Akihara Kagura has acquired a lot of knowledge. She has basically learned all the legacy that Uchiha Obito inherited from Uchiha Madara, as well as the Wind Release and Water Release techniques sent by Sunagakure and Kirigakure.

To be serious...

If the ninjas from Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and Konoha fought against Akihara Kagura, they would find that Akihara Kagura could always use the exact same techniques as them, which was even more outrageous than Hatake Kakashi, who had the Sharingan and mastered thousands of ninjutsu.

"Kagura-sama!"

The sound of high heels approached, and Karin hurriedly reported: "We have news from Sasuke Uchiha's side that Orochimaru's laboratory has achieved new results!"

Over the course of three years, Karin has changed a lot.

The girl who was brought into Konoha had grown into a graceful young woman. She liked to wear a tight-fitting ninja outfit, carrying a folder and scrolls, and moving back and forth at the Root base.

"What results?"

Kagura Akihara casually took the scroll from Karin's hand, and after reading it, she frowned: "Why is Lord Orochimaru researching puppets? Puppets that can fight on their own, have you even developed artificial intelligence within them?"

Is this thing reliable?

Kagura Akihara glanced at the document briefly and tossed it back to Karin: "Seal Lord Orochimaru's new achievement in the forbidden jutsu room of Root. When news comes from Kabuto's side, forward the order that Lord Orochimaru is not allowed to use this achievement."

"Yes."

Karin nodded, and a little while later she went to take the scroll to the forbidden arts room.

Over the years, Orochimaru's side has sent over many experimental results, most of which were sealed away in the forbidden jutsu room by Akihara Kagura as forbidden techniques, and no one was allowed to access them.

"There's one more thing."

Karin suddenly spoke up again, asking, "Kagura-sama, Sasuke Uchiha wants to challenge Orochimaru. He believes he already possesses the power to defeat Orochimaru..."

"Then let him take on the challenge first!"

Kagura Akihara didn't seem to object much to Sasuke Uchiha challenging Orochimaru; she just intended to help eliminate the potential threat: "Consider it a trial for him. After he succeeds, have him come back and, while he's at it, remove the cursed seal that Lord Orochimaru left on him..."

"besides…"

Kagura Akihara closed her fingers and added softly, "Inform Sasuke Uchiha. I will also tell Lord Orochimaru about this. After all, Lord Orochimaru is our ally, and it's good to at least give him some preparation..."

"it is good."

Karin nodded, adjusted her glasses, and continued, "The Root's intelligence agents also sent a message that Lord Jiraiya seems to be bringing Naruto back to Kimura..."

"I see..."

Kagura Akihara frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Then let Sasuke hurry up, maybe they'll still have a chance to meet..."

"..."

Karin sensed that Sasuke Uchiha might not want to meet him.

The Land of Grass.

Orochimaru's experimental base.

Uchiha Sasuke idly played with his kunai, which was engraved with a fan-shaped mark. The little ninja who once defected from Konoha had grown into a handsome sixteen-year-old youth.

and…

Orochimaru is quite good at raising children.

Sasuke Uchiha was doing well at Orochimaru's base, and due to his diligent training, his body was inevitably quite robust and muscular, with strong and powerful muscles in his arms.

"Sasuke, what are you doing here?"

A young man with a mouthful of shark teeth, carrying a guillotine, saw him and slammed the guillotine into the ground: "Want to play a game with me?"

It was none other than Hozuki Suigetsu, the rogue ninja from Kirigakure.

Since Hozuki Suigetsu defected to Orochimaru, he did not become Orochimaru's experimental subject, but instead became Orochimaru's subordinate.

Because the Sound Four were used as expendable pawns by Orochimaru and died in Konoha, coupled with the death of Kaguya Kimimaro from illness, Hozuki Suigetsu and Uchiha Sasuke became Orochimaru's capable henchmen.

Of course.

These two guys, who couldn't stand each other, had both participated in the joint Chunin Exams back then, so they were essentially ninjas from the same cohort.

These two always have to fight to determine a winner when they meet. Hozuki Suigetsu never gives up despite repeated defeats. He's not one to be shy or care about losing face. When he sees Uchiha Sasuke, he wants to test whether his strength has improved.

"You are no match for me..."

Sasuke Uchiha slightly raised his head and glanced at Suigetsu Hozuki in front of him: "No matter how many times I come, the result will be the same..."

"Even more arrogant than me..."

Hozuki Suigetsu grinned, kicked his Executioner's Blade with his foot, and with a twist of his wrist, swung the blade at Uchiha Sasuke!

"idiot…"

Sasuke Uchiha raised his kunai and casually blocked the Executioner's Blade. He turned his head slightly to look at the Executioner's Blade that his kunai had blocked!

All of this…

It all seems like destiny.

This guillotine was once easily blocked by his teacher, Kakashi Hatake, with a kunai. Later, the guillotine changed hands, but its current owner also easily blocked it!

"You've gotten stronger again..."

Hozuki Suigetsu chuckled and praised him, then raised his hand and pressed down on the Executioner's Blade, forcefully slamming it down towards Uchiha Sasuke!

"idiot…"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Hozuki Suigetsu and felt that this guy's intelligence seemed to have never increased. His figure disappeared from the spot in an instant!

"Is it Flying Thunder God again?"

Hozuki Suigetsu couldn't help but chuckle, but his eyes suddenly turned serious as he swung his Executioner's Blade in a fierce circular motion, slashing outwards at himself!

"A fool is a fool..."

Sasuke Uchiha appeared above Suigetsu Hozuki's head, and a bolt of lightning suddenly struck Suigetsu's head, instantly knocking him to the ground.

"Ah...uh..."

Hozuki Suigetsu's body trembled violently.

"Did Shuiyue lose again?"

A tall figure draped in a cloak emerged from the depths of the base. He glanced at Suigetsu lying on the ground and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache, saying, "Why does he always want to challenge Sasuke..."

"You're not using your brain enough..."

Sasuke Uchiha kicked Suigetsu Hozuki aside, then stood up and left the base, seemingly wanting to go out and train.

Outside Orochimaru's base.

As Sasuke Uchiha walked under a tree, an arm suddenly emerged from the shadows and handed him a note.

"Lord Kagura has approved my actions..."

"But will Orochimaru know that I want to kill him? That means I can't launch a sneak attack anymore, but it doesn't really matter anyway, Orochimaru is no match for me..."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced down at the note in his hand and saw at the end that Naruto Uzumaki was about to return to Konoha. He just sighed.

No matter what...

At least Akihara Kagura was willing to support him in challenging Orochimaru.

For the past two or three years, Uchiha Sasuke has been training here, learning from Orochimaru. No one in this base is his match, and he even believes that his power has already surpassed Orochimaru's!

It's no wonder that Uchiha Sasuke had this confidence.

With his three-tomoe Sharingan, Flying Thunder God Technique, and derivative techniques of Lightning Release: Chidori, along with the swordsmanship and other techniques he had cultivated over the years, Sasuke Uchiha was confident that he could easily defeat any Jonin from any village.

late at night.

While Orochimaru was still conducting experiments.

The news of Akihara Kagura must have reached Yakushi Kabuto first.

Kabuto Yakushi, holding a scroll, approached Orochimaru: "Lord Orochimaru, Kagura has sent word that the puppets you developed need to be sealed away..."

"Should we seal it up again?"

Orochimaru frowned, seemingly very dissatisfied with this method of doing things: "The things I develop are always sealed in the forbidden jutsu room..."

"They're probably worried it's too dangerous for ordinary people..."

After giving a perfunctory reply, Kabuto casually brought up the situation at the base: "By the way, Lord Orochimaru, I've observed something at the base. Sasuke Uchiha's recent behavior has been rather strange. I suspect he might be planning to assassinate you..."

"Is the Uchiha's fledgling bird finally growing up?"

Orochimaru laughed, seemingly quite excited about Sasuke's actions, and licked his lips. "Perfect timing, the three-year period for the Reanimation Jutsu is up, and I need to switch bodies with him..."

Second update!

Happy Qixi Festival, everyone!
