Starting as a working person from Naruto

I remember in Chapter 44, it was I who killed Aburame Ryoma, right?

late at night.

Konoha Village.

root base.

The gatekeepers at the root base are still diligently guarding the base.

Suddenly, a pitch-black object was thrown in through the well at the base entrance. The two gatekeepers were startled and rushed over to check the situation.

"This is…"

"Aburame Ryoma?"

The two gatekeepers' expressions suddenly changed.

The thing that fell from the base entrance was the corpse of Aburame Ryoma.

Ryoma Aburame's entire body, even his head, was pierced by sharp wooden spikes. Dozens of wooden spikes protruded from the wounds, making it look as if a shrub had grown inside his body.

"This is…"

"Wood Release ninjutsu?"

The two gatekeepers immediately went to report to Danzo Shimura.

Ryoma Aburame was once Danzo Shimura's close bodyguard. Not only was he killed, but his body was also thrown into Root's base, which was clearly a provocation against Root.

The most troublesome thing is...

The killer is most likely Akihara Kagura!

After all, the gatekeeper of Root had just driven Akihara Kagura away, and Aburame Ryoma was killed by Wood Release. His body was thrown in, which was most likely revenge from that brat!

Upon seeing Aburame Ryoma's corpse, Shimura Danzo immediately concluded that it was Akihara Kagura who did it, because he had personally witnessed Akihara Kagura using this Wood Release ninjutsu!

Moreover…

Akihara Kagura was an extreme child!

The two gatekeepers of Root were ordered to drive away Akihara Kagura. Akihara Kagura happened to meet Aburame Ryoma, who was returning from a mission in Kirigakure. She simply killed Aburame Ryoma to vent her anger and take revenge on Root, which is very much in line with Akihara Kagura's style!

"Go and bring him back!"

A flash of fury crossed Shimura Danzo's face.

Kagura Akihara's killing of Ryoma Aburame is tantamount to provoking his authority. That brat doesn't think he can tolerate his insolence!

"..."

The members of the root group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although they dared not disobey Danzo's orders, at this moment they couldn't help but wonder, did Lord Danzo not want us to live?

Danzo Shimura, realizing the situation, leaned on his cane and coldly ordered, "Does anyone know where that brat is?!"

"..."

The group of Root ninjas dared not utter a sound.

They didn't know where Akihara Kagura was either.

Shimura Danzo realized once again that there was a problem with his questioning, because Akihara Kagura was not a native of Konoha, but an outsider whom he had brought into Konoha...

This is really troublesome...

Where could that brat be in the middle of the night?

Besides the Root Base, where else can that brat live?

"Everyone, split up and search!"

Danzo Shimura's face turned extremely grim. He said in a deep voice, "Once which class finds him, just keep him occupied. I'll be there immediately. I want to see that brat before dawn!"

It was in the early hours of the morning.

Akihara Kagura couldn't sleep.

While the Root ninjas were searching for him on a large scale, Akihara Kagura sensed that something might have happened in the village and used the [Darkness of the Ninja World] to investigate the situation of the Root.

Akihara Kagura saw Aburame Ryoma's corpse in her mind; only the [Wood Release: Wood Spike Technique] could create such a gruesome sight for that corpse.

In the blink of an eye...

As a master at framing others, Akihara Kagura immediately knew the reason for the sudden large-scale movement of the Root ninjas.

Someone used Wood Release to frame him!

There are only a handful of Wood Release ninjas in the entire ninja world, and the only person Shimura Danzo knows who can use the Wood Release: Wood Spike Technique is Akihara Kagura herself!

This is a case of someone being unfairly blamed on Akihara Kagura!

Akihara Kagura immediately wondered why she had been blamed for this. Every accusation in the ninja world didn't come out of thin air.

This ninja world…

There are actually people trying to shift the blame onto themselves?

All that's needed is to find out who else possesses the art of cutting.

The information brought by the memories of her past life is extremely important. Akihara Kagura knows that there are other people who can use this technique, a hidden mastermind in the ninja world.

A man who always wears a mysterious mask.

Official title: Mysterious Masked Man.

"This guy..."

"In Konoha?"

When Akihara Kagura secretly used the [Darkness of the Ninja World] to investigate the mysterious masked man, she was shocked to discover that this guy was hiding in Konoha Village, and even nearby!

Perhaps the struggles in Konoha were too peaceful, causing people to subconsciously forget the dangers lurking in the ninja world. Akihara Kagura was still planning to continue acting as a double agent between Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, but she had already forgotten that someone was watching everything that was happening in Konoha.

Furthermore, Aburame Ryoma's final destination was Kirigakure, which happened to be a major ninja village that had long been occupied and controlled by the mysterious masked man.

"Has this guy been in Konoha the whole time?"

Akihara Kagura's eyes narrowed slightly as she pondered everything that had happened that night: "He used the technique of cutting to kill Aburame Ryoma in an attempt to frame me, not to kill me... Was he trying to force me to defect? ​​To become his pawn?"

This is such a good thing...

Why can't we just say it directly?

The mysterious masked man could have just said it to my face. How could I, a working-class person, possibly refuse the temptation to work for a new boss?

They actually resorted to such despicable means!

There's no way we can logically escape this blame!

Akihara Kagura suddenly sat up straight, the small blanket covering her body hanging behind her like a cape as she flung her hand away!

Since I can't clear my name, I might as well just accept this blame for now and then figure out a way to get rid of it!

Anyway…

Write this down in your notebook!

No matter what, she couldn't miss her trip to the Anbu today, because for Akihara Kagura, joining the Anbu meant a new boss and a new welcome gift.

Coincidentally, there is a man in Konoha Village's Anbu that can be used. Akihara Kagura can use him to cause some trouble for the mysterious masked man.

"Feed".

Akihara Kagura took the initiative to approach a group of Root ninjas.

"Keep him occupied!"

The moment the Root ninjas saw Akihara Kagura, they didn't even wait for the little guy to speak before immediately drawing their ninja swords and scattering to surround him!

Akihara Kagura's fingers suddenly snapped together!

As the Wood Release chakra was activated, huge vines quickly sprouted from the ground and wrapped around the Root ninjas in the surrounding area!

One of the Root ninjas dodged the vines and swung his ninja sword at Akihara Kagura, only to be kicked away by her. A vine then bound the ninja, and the other Root ninjas were quickly subdued by the vines as well!

The squad leader of this Root ninja team was extremely defiant, stubbornly asking, "Kagura... sir, you killed Aburame Ryoma, and now you want to kill us too? We're here on Danzo's orders, and Danzo will be here soon!"

"Take me to see Lord Danzo."

Akihara Kagura manipulated the vines to lower the well-behaved Root Squad Leader down, and whispered, "I won't kill you again, lest I anger Lord Danzo once more."

"If Ryoma Aburame hadn't mocked me for being expelled from Root by Lord Danzo as soon as he returned to Konoha, I wouldn't have accidentally killed Ryoma-senpai."

"…yes."

The Root Division leader slowly nodded, echoing Akihara Kagura's words, "Aburame Ryoma misspoke; he truly brought this upon himself..."

After the Root ninja team and Akihara Kagura left, a mysterious masked man quietly appeared under a large tree, his voice sounding somewhat bewildered.

"Could it be... that I'm under an illusion?"

The masked man's voice held a hint of confusion: "Why didn't that brat argue? Why did he admit to killing Aburame Ryoma?"

The masked man felt his mind was a little foggy: "I remember, I was the one who killed Aburame Ryoma, right?"
