Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 277 Stopping Akihara Kagura's Hope! Orochimaru's Ambition!

Destroy the ninja world, destroy the ninjas.

Create a new world, create new ninjas.

At this moment, Akihara Kagura declared that everything she did was in accordance with Jiraiya's teachings, and that she was learning from the former Sage of Six Paths.

Jiraiya always liked to use the Sage of Six Paths and the Ninja Cult as examples of peace in the ninja world to educate his disciples. But after hearing Akihara Kagura's words, he only felt a suffocating fear, because his disciple seemed to be really following his teachings.

Good news, Kagura is following her teacher's instructions.

Bad news, Kagura overdid it.

Rain and cold sweat streamed down Jiraiya's face, his body trembling and unable to move. He struggled to think of a way to argue: "Kagura, my idea has always been to enable the ninjas of this era to understand each other like the ninja sects of ancient times..."

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Akihara Kagura stared at Jiraiya, seemingly puzzled: "I am your disciple, and you are unwilling to understand me. Why do you expect the ninjas of the ninja world to understand each other? Isn't that a contradiction?"

"..."

Jiraiya realized his own lack of eloquence.

"Mutual understanding is impossible among ninjas of this era. They are accustomed to fighting for profit, waging wars for a small amount of employment, and killing each other for their own gain, praising the killer as an excellent ninja..."

Akihara Kagura extended her palm, seemingly reaffirming her resolve: "Why should this ninja world come to mutual understanding? Let's bury the history of this ninja world and, like the Sage of Six Paths, recreate the ninja as a species..."

"Perhaps you're right..."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, feeling he couldn't refute Akihara Kagura on this issue: "However, as a ninja of this era, I cannot stand by and watch you destroy this era..."

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Akihara Kagura looked at Jiraiya, her brows furrowing deeply, as if she understood him: "You, who always proclaim your hope for a peaceful future for the ninja world, are unwilling to sacrifice yourself when peace requires it..."

"Feed..."

Jiraiya quickly tried to retort.

"It doesn't matter."

Akihara Kagura waved her hand and raised her palm: "Jiraiya-sensei, humans are all selfish. You are the best ninja of this era, yet you still cannot escape selfish thoughts, just like a microcosm of this ninja era..."

"It is precisely because every ninja harbors selfish and self-serving thoughts that the ninjas of this era can never understand each other, that they constantly instigate wars and killings, and that peace will forever remain like the moon in the sky..."

Everyone prays for peace in the ninja world.

That's because everyone wants a peace that is in their own best interest.

Akihara Kagura's words struck Jiraiya's heart like a knife, leaving him speechless and unable to utter a single word of rebuttal. This excellent ninja was even rendered speechless with dissent.

"Bye now."

"Jiraiya-sensei."

Akihara Kagura clasped her hands together, let out a long sigh, and said, "Let's begin the prelude to the demise of this era's ninjas right here! Sage Art: Wood Dragon Technique!"

The ground suddenly churned up!

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

A thick vine transformed into a massive wooden dragon!

In its Sage Mode state, the wooden dragon was incredibly lifelike, charging fiercely towards Jiraiya. The wooden dragon slightly opened its mouth and let out a roar!

Jiraiya's hair flew wildly as he turned and ran in another direction. His hands were rapidly forming hand seals as he turned back and tried to unleash a ball of flame at the wooden dragon!

"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"

A huge ball of flame struck the wooden dragon!

However, to the wooden dragon, this blazing flame was nothing more than a ball of fire!

Akihara Kagura stood atop the wooden dragon, calmly watching Jiraiya turn and flee again. His speed seemed unhurried, as if he wanted to force Jiraiya into a desperate situation!

On the other side of the battlefield.

The lakeside near the Akatsuki base.

Nagato and Konan's group had just escaped here.

"Little Jiraiya is going to sacrifice himself too..."

The immortal Fukasaku glanced at the vastly unequal battlefield in the distance.

"He originally intended to die here!"

Orochimaru, watching Nagato being carried along by paper wings, said coldly, "I've saved him many times, but if this continues, even if Jiraiya dies, we won't escape Kagura's pursuit. His sensory abilities are very strong..."

"I've already set a trap."

Konan frowned and continued in a deep voice, "As long as Akihara Kagura steps into the trap I prepared by the lake while chasing us, hundreds of billions of explosive tags will be enough to kill him..."

"A very generous gesture."

Orochimaru shook his head, not believing Konan's idea could be realized: "But Kagura possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, and her space-time techniques are enough for her to evade any trap..."

this is the truth.

Regardless, as long as the Rinnegan is in Nagato's body, they cannot escape Akihara Kagura's pursuit, because Nagato's legs are crippled and he can only rely on Orochimaru and Konan's assistance.

however…

This would greatly delay their escape.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Nagato questioned Orochimaru.

"certainly."

Orochimaru looked at Nagato's Rinnegan and chuckled as he offered his thoughts: "The most important thing for Akihara Kagura is that Rinnegan. As long as we don't let him get it..."

"I'm going to destroy my own eyes."

Nagato hadn't given up on his idea and continued, "Without these eyes, Akihara Kagura can't obtain the complete weapon of war!"

"How foolish..."

Orochimaru shook his head and said coldly, "Even if you destroy the Rinnegan, you can't change Kagura's mind. That little guy has already been exposed, and he may not give up his plan. No one in the ninja world is his match..."

"What should we do then?"

Nagato's gaze fell on Orochimaru.

"Give me the Rinnegan..."

Orochimaru had barely uttered a single sentence when Konan interrupted him!

"Absolutely impossible!"

Konan simply didn't believe Orochimaru. This guy had obtained the Rinnegan, and Konan didn't believe that Orochimaru could save the ninja world or anything like that!

"So..."

Nagato turned his gaze to Fukasaku and asked in a deep voice, "What if we give these Rinnegan to Fukasaku?"

"I can take the Rinnegan with me."

Fukasaku frowned and asked, "But if you're killed by that little brat Kagura, who will control these Rinnegan?"

"..."

Nagato fell silent.

These two Rinnegan represent the future of the ninja world.

These two Rinnegan also represent the possible calamities that may befall the ninja world.

However, Nagato had been living a secluded life within the Akatsuki's base for years, and the people he knew were mostly a bunch of rogue ninjas. The only one he was truly familiar with was a ninja from a respectable village, and that was Akihara Kagura, the super villain who wanted to destroy the world...

Are you sure you can do it?

Orochimaru looked at Fukasaku and suddenly laughed: "Kagura is Jiraiya's disciple, she must have signed a contract with Mount Myōboku. How could she not find the location of Mount Myōboku?"

"..."

The immortal's expression changed.

This toad immortal, who had lived for hundreds of years, realized a problem.

If the Rinnegan is handed over to it for safekeeping, it will definitely bring disaster to Mount Myōboku. Akihara Kagura has also mastered the contract of Mount Myōboku and is even powerful enough to summon the Great Toad Sage. Once it takes the Rinnegan, what can I do if Akihara Kagura threatens it with the life of the Great Toad Sage?

"wrong…"

Suddenly, Fukasaku remembered something, and his eyes lit up: "I can take the Rinnegan with me and, after returning to Mount Myōboku, ask the Great Toad Sage. He can then use prophecy to determine whether the Rinnegan will be harmful to Mount Myōboku, and who will be able to wield it in the future!"

Orochimaru chuckled and looked at Fukasaku: "If the Rinnegan would harm Mount Myōboku, you would give it to Akihara Kagura, wouldn't you?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Fukasaku immediately retorted to Orochimaru, even throwing dirty water on Ryuchi Cave: "Junior, you think too highly of Mount Myōboku. Do you think Mount Myōboku is the same as Ryuchi Cave?"

"Mount Myoboku isn't exactly noble either, is it?"

Orochimaru is a snake, and he naturally doesn't have a good impression of Mount Myōboku.

"..."

Nagato hesitated, looking back and forth between Fukasaku and Orochimaru.

"Continuing this argument will not lead to anything..."

Orochimaru's gaze fell on Konan, and he chuckled as he said, "However, I do possess a forbidden technique that might be able to eliminate Akihara Kagura..."

"What method?"

"Multiplication of Explosive Tags..."

Orochimaru smiled and uttered the name of the forbidden technique, explaining softly, "As long as an explosive tag can be attached to Akihara Kagura's body, even if Akihara Kagura uses a space-time jutsu, the explosive tag will stay by his side, causing continuous explosions..."

"You just said you hid hundreds of billions of explosive tags at the bottom of the lake. Once these tags are empowered by the Multiplicative Explosive Tags Technique, they will explode at an exponential rate. The combined power of hundreds of billions of explosive tags exploding simultaneously might be enough to kill Akihara Kagura..."

"but…"

"This requires a plan..."

"Because the explosive tags have to be attached to his body."

"What scheme?"

Xiao Nan frowned.

"Hide the Rinnegan he wanted at the bottom of this lake."

"I can stay behind to cover the retreat."

Orochimaru stared at the lake at the Akatsuki base, a sinister smile on his face, and said, "If you scatter and escape from here, and Akihara Kagura goes after you, at least some of you will survive and be able to return here to retrieve the Rinnegan..."

"If Akihara Kagura sees through our plan, he will have to face a bombardment of hundreds of billions of explosive tags in an instant. Perhaps we can destroy him and the Rinnegan together, causing the Rinnegan to perish with him, and from then on, the ninja world will be free from calamity..."

"..."

Everyone present fell silent.

"Then why can't we deceive him...?"

Konan frowned and offered an idea: "What if we make him believe that Nagato's Rinnegan is at the bottom of the lake? Even if this place is destroyed and we can't kill Akihara Kagura, he'll still think the Rinnegan is destroyed. At least we'll have a chance to secretly continue reviving our weapons of war and stop his plan to destroy the ninja world..."

"..."

Orochimaru gave Konan a gloomy look.

What's wrong with this woman?

He just wanted to find an opportunity to take the Rinnegan, so why is this woman clinging to it and refusing to hand it over? What's wrong with using the Rinnegan as a trap?

If there really are hundreds of billions of explosive tags at the bottom of this lake, I'll first take the Rinnegan, use the explosive tags to bombard Akihara Kagura, severely injuring her, then use the Reanimation Jutsu to steal Akihara Kagura's body, and finally replace the Rinnegan in my new body...

"I agree with this idea."

Fukasaku agreed with Konan's plan, then turned his gaze to Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, only you can use the Mutual Explosion Tags technique here. You just said you would stay behind to cover our retreat..."

"..."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with anger.

this moment…

Orochimaru suddenly remembered the long-lost past.

At that time, I was still a member of the Akatsuki organization. However, the Akatsuki members abandoned the base and retreated, leaving me to face Akihara Kagura alone...

I am no longer a member of the Akatsuki.

Why does my fate seem to have remained unchanged?

but…

Orochimaru's gaze subtly revealed a hint of coldness.

If there really are countless explosive tags at the bottom of this lake, at least I can find an opportunity to use this conspiracy to severely injure Akihara Kagura and take over his body using the Reanimation Jutsu!

From day one…

From the day the Wood Release experiment on Akihara Kagura was successful, from the day he witnessed firsthand how abundant Akihara Kagura's chakra was, and from the day he saw Akihara Kagura's growing strength, Orochimaru never gave up on this idea!

to be frank.

They plotted against Akihara Kagura.

Orochimaru really doesn't seem to have any psychological burden.

Who told Akihara Kagura to keep using him, lying to him to save Jiraiya, when in fact she only wanted to obtain information about Pain's Six Paths and to seize the Rinnegan...

just now…

The hundreds of billions of explosive tags here…

It's time for that guy to pay his debt!

certainly…

If he accidentally kills Akihara Kagura, then he will have no choice but to revive her using the Impure World Reincarnation technique and control her as his puppet…

The most powerful ninja in the ninja world, Akihara Kagura, became a puppet controlled by his own Edo Tensei, which he then used to steal the Rinnegan...

This kind of story doesn't seem so wrong when you think about it...

Orochimaru tapped his arm lightly with his fingers, nodded casually, and agreed to Konan and Nagato's request. Suddenly, a strange thought popped into his mind.

If I were to die here to stop Akihara Kagura, the story would seem to end with me and Jiraiya staying behind to cover Nagato, the hope of the ninja world, as he escapes from here. This feeling is somehow familiar…

Orochimaru frowned slightly, and for some inexplicable reason, the words that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, always liked to say while stroking his beard in a kind manner came to mind.

"Where the leaves dance in the air, the fire will never die out..."

"The firelight will continue to illuminate the village, allowing new leaves to sprout..."

"Sooner or later, our time to sacrifice will come..."

"..."

Orochimaru quickly shook his head, dismissing the inexplicable thought.

First update!

This is giving me a headache. I'm trying to figure out how to make someone feel utterly hopeless...
