Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 28 Danzo, This child should be given to Sarutobi.

The net gate of the Death Forest slowly opened.

A group of genin rushed in through their respective entrances.

There are many competitors in this exam, so entering the venue early will give you an advantage, whether it's getting familiar with the environment beforehand or setting traps in the forest.

Even Itachi Uchiha was no exception.

Only Akihara Kagura slowly strolled into the examination hall, weighing the scroll in his hand, calmly gazing into the dark depths of the Death Forest.

"Hey, kid!"

A female ninja, seemingly impatient with Akihara Kagura's slow pace, opened the net gate for the exam. She snapped, "Hurry up and get in! If you're any slower, you'll probably be killed tonight!"

"..."

Akihara Kagura turned around and glanced at the other person.

The female ninja was wearing an earth-yellow trench coat over a mesh top, with fishnet stockings on her exposed legs. Her light purple hair was tied up in a messy bun, and she didn't look very old.

"hurry up!"

The female ninja looked impatient as she stared at Akihara Kagura as she entered the examination hall. She slammed the door shut with her hand and clapped her hands hard.

"Big sister, what's your name?"

Akihara Kagura stood inside, smiling as she looked at the female ninja.

"ha?"

The female ninja was somewhat surprised by the brat's audacity, then suddenly grinned, "Kid, you're so daring to take such a dangerous exam... My name is Mitarashi Anko. If you make it out alive, you'll have to treat me to some dumplings!"

I will remember you.

Akihara Kagura didn't mention the dinner invitation at all.

She hadn't mistaken anyone for someone else; the female ninja was named Mitarashi Anko, a former disciple of Orochimaru, and she carried the scent of Orochimaru's chakra.

In a sense, this person named Mitarashi Anko is both my former colleague and my current colleague. I should introduce her to my old boss when I have time.

"What an energetic child..."

Mitarashi Anko tilted her head, smiling and squinting her eyes: "Then good luck, and try not to die too soon in the Forest of Death!"

"Yes, I'll remember you."

Akihara Kagura nodded and repeated her words.

Just as Mitarashi Anko was about to say something, she saw Akihara Kagura suddenly raise her fingers and put them together to form the Si Seal!

"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

Thick vines and tree roots sprouted from the ground!

Tall, towering trees rose from the ground as vines and roots spread out!

Akihara Kagura controlled her chakra, raised her fingers again, and manipulated the branches of the trees to gather together!

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

A giant wooden dragon snaked out from the tree trunk!

The wooden dragon, like a giant beast, slowly lowered itself and slid down in front of Akihara Kagura. It used its head to support the boy's body and slowly raised its head again.

"How is this possible... Wood Release ninjutsu..."

Mitarashi Anko stared in horror at the scene unfolding in the Forest of Death.

"I'll remember you."

Akihara Kagura turned back and repeated the same gesture to Mitarashi Anko, then controlled the wooden dragon to spiral and wander into the depths of the Death Forest.

"Let me go and say hello to everyone first..."

"That brat..."

After pondering for a moment, Mitarashi Anko leaped and sped off in the direction of the examiner!

In fact, there was no need for Mitarashi Anko to report it. Almost everyone present saw the giant wooden dragon appear. The wooden dragon was almost floating above the Death Forest, making everyone think that they had encountered an attack by an unknown enemy.

The Naruto Building.

A group of Konoha's high-ranking officials stared in astonishment at everything on the screen.

Even though Shimura Danzo knew long ago that Akihara Kagura had mastered the Wood Dragon Technique, he never imagined that this child could fully reproduce it through his abstract teaching methods.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, held a pipe between his fingers, hesitant to put it in his mouth. His mind raced as he calmly considered what this child who had mastered Wood Release meant to Konoha.

Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the other two Hokage advisors didn't need to think so much; their proposals were all based on the interests of Konoha.

Their eyes immediately fell on Shimura Danzo.

One of the elderly men, wearing glasses, was named Mitokado En; the other elderly woman, squinting, was named Utatane Koharu.

These two Hokage advisors were both teammates of Shimura Danzo, so they were naturally less reserved in their conversations and went straight to asking the most crucial questions.

"Danzo, when did this child awaken Wood Release?"

"Danzo, whose child is this? How did he awaken the Wood Release bloodline within him? Does he have the bloodline of the Senju clan?"

"..."

Danzo Shimura remained silent for a moment before answering, "This is a child from the Konoha orphanage. He survived Orochimaru's illegal human experiments with Wood Release many years ago. Seeing his strong vitality, I brought him to Root, until recently when he suddenly awakened Wood Release..."

"Is that so?"

Mitokado Homura's brow furrowed with age lines as he sighed, "It seems to be a very accidental event..."

Koharu Utatane's tone was no longer so excited: "I thought we could restore the village to the First Hokage's Wood Release bloodline limit. Those human experiments were ultimately too dangerous for the people involved."

"A is just an isolated case."

Danzo Shimura nodded slowly.

"..."

After finishing his thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe again and slowly uttered his first words: "It seems this child's Wood Release is very powerful. He can almost completely replicate the First Hokage's Wood Release ninjutsu. One day, he might very well become the next First Hokage!"

"Oh?"

The two Hokage advisors immediately became curious.

Mitokado Homura had never paid attention to the Wood Release ninjutsu recorded in the Book of Seals. After all, Konoha had never been able to restore the First Hokage's Wood Release. He subconsciously asked about it.

"Can this child become a ninja as powerful as the First Hokage?"

"Um?"

Danzo Shimura almost immediately understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's meaning and hurriedly said, "This child's Wood Release ninjutsu is nowhere near comparable to that of the First Hokage, Advent of a World of Trees..."

"Danzo, you are too limited."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo Shimura, seemingly explaining earnestly, "The Advent of a World of Trees technique isn't quite perfect yet... but the Wood Dragon Technique is different!"

"If his Wood Dragon Technique is as effective as recorded in the Scroll of Seals, and can even suppress Tailed Beasts, this child's Wood Release talent is far stronger than you imagine. It's a waste to have him doing those dark, trivial things in Root..."

"wait…"

Danzo Shimura's eyes widened involuntarily.

"That's right, Danzo!"

Koharu Utatane frowned and suggested, "Danzo, it's a waste to keep this child in Root. We should give him to Sarutobi..."

"..."

Danzo Shimura gripped his cane tightly.

Why does this sound so familiar? Why am I hearing the same things that I used to say to Hiruzen Sarutobi?
