Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 483 You have a lot of guts, daring to look directly at the Sharingan.

Akihara Kagura.

This name is often followed by many suffixes.

A treacherous, cunning, and monstrous force.

Whether it's a major event in Konoha or the ninja world, Akihara Kagura will always get involved, and the course of many things is often slowly manipulated by his behind-the-scenes influence.

In front of outsiders, Akihara Kagura always has an arrogant demeanor, seemingly acting recklessly as if he has no brains. However, hidden beneath his surface is a terrifying scheme that plunges the entire ninja world into turmoil!

Everyone in the ninja world believes...

If it weren't for Akihara Kagura, there wouldn't be so many troubles in the ninja world, and everyone would definitely be able to live a very peaceful life.

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha remembered.

The night before arriving in this world, he attended the Five Great Nations Conference as the Hokage's assistant. Many people at the conference secretly mocked Akihara Kagura's despicable behavior, and even criticized Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, for writing a book to whitewash Akihara Kagura...

That old man…

Is it possible to whitewash someone like Akihara Kagura?

Which of the five great ninja villages hasn't suffered at the hands of Akihara Kagura?

just now…

I actually saw it for myself…

Perhaps this world would be without Akihara Kagura.

Uchiha Sasuke finally found the biggest problem in this world: the absence of Akihara Kagura is the biggest problem. What would a world without Akihara Kagura be like?

Was it Akihara Kagura's doing?

He wanted to see what the world was like without him.

Are you kidding me? Is there anything worse than the whole world being manipulated by one person?!

affim…

It will be very peaceful, right?

Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously thought that this ninja world must be pretty good.

Faced with the questioning gazes of his Team 7 teammates in this world, Sasuke Uchiha casually made up an excuse to appease them: "Akihara Kagura... is the name I gave to a ninja crow... it used to keep me company during training..."

"..."

The members of Class 7 did not suspect anything.

The name Akihara Kagura was completely unfamiliar, and since Uchiha Sasuke had never left the village, the boy seemed nonchalant when mentioning the name. It appeared that Akihara Kagura was indeed just the name of an ordinary ninja crow…

but…

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but start secretly observing everyone present, watching Naruto Uzumaki clamoring for more ramen, and Kakashi Hatake sitting lazily to the side.

A world without Akihara Kagura...

What will Kakashi-sensei and Naruto be like?

It seems there's not much difference?

Do not…

Still there.

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes suddenly became somewhat complicated.

With his experience as the third leader of Root, Uchiha Sasuke was no longer the naive boy he once was, and he immediately noticed some extremely subtle differences.

For example, in this world, Naruto Uzumaki is excessively noisy and desperately wants everyone's attention. He hopes that his companions won't ignore him, and even when Naruto Uzumaki finishes eating ramen and partes ways with everyone, his back view looks particularly lonely and desolate...

For example, Kakashi Hatake in this world is excessively carefree, even his eyes reveal a lack of motivation. He talks about everything with an indifferent attitude, as if living and dying are no different to him...

The crossroads of the village's main street.

Uchiha Sasuke stood in the middle of the intersection, watching his mentor and companions walk in different directions, his eyes growing increasingly complicated.

This sense of complexity…

To suffocate Uchiha Sasuke.

If I truly only had the mindset of a twelve-year-old, I probably wouldn't have noticed these things if I saw Kakashi Hatake and Naruto Uzumaki acting like this...

However, I could sense their emotions, and I knew some of the truth, and I knew why they were the way they were...

Naruto Uzumaki was ostracized by the village as a demon fox from a young age and never experienced any love. He was always alone, yet he was a naive fool who desperately wanted everyone to feel loved...

Kakashi Hatake lost his father at a young age, and at twelve, he finally had companions like Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara who could rely on him through thick and thin. However, Obito sacrificed himself to save him, and before dying, he asked Kakashi to take care of Rin. But Rin was killed by Kakashi...

Oh, right…

Kakashi Hatake in this world might not know the truth about Rin Nohara's death, nor should he know that Obito Uchiha is still alive.

In the real world, Kakashi-sensei only learned of Obito Uchiha's existence by chance, under the covert manipulation of Akihara Kagura…

Naruto Uzumaki is the same...

In this world, Naruto Uzumaki didn't receive Kagura Akihara's care, nor did he have Karin, his childhood neighbor, as a companion...

after all…

Karin was also brought back to Konoha by Akihara Kagura.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but think of Karin. He and Karin had always been evenly matched rivals, and he greatly respected Karin as his opponent. How was Karin doing in this world?

A world without Akihara Kagura…

Karin must be very strong too, right?

After all, that woman was once his biggest rival!

Besides cyanobacteria…

There are so many people and so many things...

Everything and everyone in the real world is inextricably linked to Akihara Kagura; the fate of everyone in the ninja world is under her influence…

I don't know...

How will the world move forward without Akihara Kagura?

When Sasuke Uchiha was feeling somewhat lost about the future of this world, an event occurred that brought him back to a state of calm.

After a long period of low-level missions, Team 7 received a C-rank mission: to escort Tazuna, a bridge-building expert from the Land of Waves, back to the Land of Waves!

This world…

Sometimes, the events that occur are the same as those in the real world.

Even without Akihara Kagura, the future course of the world seems to remain unchanged. In fact, they were still attacked by Kirigakure ninjas when they were escorting Tazuna!

Ding-dong!

Two shuriken flew towards Class 7!

Sasuke Uchiha instantly drew his ninja sword, twirling the two shuriken between the blades and flinging them in the direction they came from. The two shuriken returned along their original trajectories and struck the ambushing Kirigakure ninja!

"Truly outstanding..."

Kakashi Hatake's eyes darkened slightly as he offered a word of praise.

however…

Sasuke Uchiha parted the bushes, and his first words made Kakashi Hatake's eyelids twitch: "The people of Kirigakure are ambushing us, are they trying to start a war with Konoha?"

"It shouldn't be that bad..."

Kakashi Hatake glanced at his subordinates.

With just this bunch of oddballs, it's unlikely they would... but it's also possible they want to start a war. Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of the village!

But...but...

Something seems off?

Kakashi Hatake quickly dismissed the idea of ​​war, realizing he'd been misled by Sasuke's words. These two Chunin from Kirigakure, lying in ambush, certainly weren't there to start a war…

"Cough cough..."

Kakashi Hatake coughed a few times to bring his thoughts back to normal, then looked at Tazuna beside him and stated the truth: "These two wanted to attack us, it must be related to the target we're escorting, right?"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke also put away his outrageous ideas.

Do not…

It's not outrageous...

He was too used to speaking in his capacity as the Hokage's assistant and the leader of Root, and he liked to exaggerate things to force others to agree with his opinions...

This method...

I learned it from Akihara Kagura.

Sasuke Uchiha watched quietly as Kakashi Hatake extracted the truth about the Hidden Mist Ninja attack from Tazuna, his gaze drifting back to the present world.

"Sasuke-kun...Sasuke-kun."

You seem quite down.

Sakura Haruno stood beside Sasuke Uchiha, quietly praising the boy she admired: "Sasuke-kun is really amazing! He even managed to deflect that shuriken!"

"..."

A bitter smile flashed across Sasuke's face.

Oh…

It's just a low-level tactic...

"snort…"

Seeing the girl he admired smitten, Naruto couldn't help but loudly mock Sasuke: "That's just a low-level tactic. Sakura, I can do that too!"

"You idiot..."

Sasuke couldn't resist wanting to tap him on the head.

"Alright, you little brats..."

Kakashi Hatake clapped his hands, having learned the truth from Tazuna, and signaled his subordinates to assemble: "Mr. Tazuna is going to the Land of Waves to build a bridge. This mission is essentially a B-rank mission, and there will definitely be battles with ninjas along the way. Would you all consider accepting Mr. Tazuna's invitation…?"

"Of course I want it!"

Naruto Uzumaki nonchalantly waved his fist: "If Sasuke hadn't been so quick, I would have already taken down those two who were lying in ambush!"

"Oh, yes..."

Sasuke Uchiha rubbed his temples in exasperation: "You idiot, you're capable of anything. If you hadn't been too scared to move by their murderous aura, I would have believed you..."

"asshole!"

The group continued their journey amidst much bickering.

however…

Uchiha Sasuke, however, had already gleaned some information from the subtle clues in this exchange: the Konoha of this world was inferior to the Konoha of the present world…

Because Kakashi Hatake never mentioned the complex relationship between Kirigakure and Konoha, only stating that they were rival ninja villages…

Obviously.

Konoha doesn't hold a high position here.

Since there is no Akihara Kagura in Konoha here, naturally no one can capture the Mizukage on their own and force Kirigakure to become a vassal of Konoha.

The Leaf Village here…

It has become excessively decadent and corrupt.

but…

Kirigakure doesn't seem to be doing too well either.

Because they did not encounter any attacks from Hidden Mist ninjas along the way.

"I thought it was very dangerous!"

Naruto Uzumaki, carrying his small backpack, looked a little unhappy: "I didn't expect to arrive in the Land of Waves so easily. I still want to fight!"

"This going so smoothly isn't a good thing..."

Kakashi Hatake shook his head, his expression gradually becoming serious: "The enemy won't just let us complete the mission like this..."

Whoosh!

A powerful hurricane roared in!

A large ninja sword flew towards the group, and after being kicked away by Kakashi Hatake, it stuck straight into a large tree!

"The decapitation sword..."

Sasuke Uchiha recognized the ninja sword at a glance!

next moment!

A figure covered in bandages stood on the large ninja sword, tilting his head slightly as he looked down at a group of Konoha ninjas, his eyes cold and ruthless!

"Isn't this Zabuza, the rogue ninja from Kirigakure?"

Kakashi Hatake immediately recognized the newcomer.

In the ninja world, almost every village has a list of rogue ninjas and issues wanted notices, let alone a notorious rogue ninja like Zabuza Momochi!

"So it's the famous Sharingan Kakashi..."

Zabuza Momochi also recognized Kakashi Hatake's identity, but he didn't care about Kakashi's illustrious reputation, since both of them were Jonin!

"And he brought a bunch of troublesome little brats with him!"

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha gave Zabuza Momochi a deep look.

"Hey kid, what are you looking at!"

Zabuza Momochi stared back at Sasuke Uchiha with a furious expression. His murderous aura immediately spread out, but it did not make Sasuke show a trace of fear!

"Um?"

Zabuza Momochi looked at Sasuke Uchiha with some surprise and uncertainty. He saw Sasuke's eyes gradually turn crimson: "This brat... that's... the Sharingan?"

"yes…"

Sasuke Uchiha gave a mocking smile: "Perhaps I should really praise your courage, daring to meet the Sharingan's gaze. But that's all that's praiseworthy about you..."

"You little brat!"

A sense of unease flashed through Zabuza Momochi's mind!

"We'll kill you all first, then kill that old man!"

Zabuza Momochi, dragging his Executioner's Blade, charged toward Team 7, kicking Naruto Uzumaki into the water. While luring Kakashi Hatake to rescue him, Zabuza raised his hand and manipulated the water to surge up, trapping Kakashi in the water!

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

Zabuza Momochi, one hand planted in the water prison, maintained the water prison technique, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes: "As long as we can control Kakashi Hatake in time, the next step is to take down that old man Tazuna and we'll complete the mission. A bunch of brats can't cause any trouble..."

"That's not necessarily true..."

Zabuza Momochi could only see Kakashi Hatake's body curled up in the water prison, muttering to himself, "My subordinates' strength might exceed your imagination..."

"Hmph, are you kidding me?"

While controlling Kakashi Hatake, Zabuza Momochi nonchalantly glanced back at the battle of his water clones, sneering, "Just one water clone is enough to take down those brats and that old man..."

Zabuza Momochi's water clone was also incredibly powerful. He kicked Naruto Uzumaki away, who was trying to stop him, and then swung his Executioner's Blade at Sasuke Uchiha!

however…

Uchiha Sasuke's body did not move at all, yet he froze Zabuza Momochi's water clone in place, unable to move!

"This is…"

"Why can't I move..."

"Get your body moving!"

Zabuza Momochi's water clone was completely unable to move, and even his main body suddenly realized that something was wrong, feeling as if he was being pierced by countless nails!

"This is... the Golden Binding Technique?"

Zabuza Momochi finally awoke to the reality that he was still standing on the Executioner's Blade, and that this battle had never actually happened...

"You seem to be under an illusion spell..."

Kakashi Hatake sighed softly, the water droplets on his body bursting away as if nothing had ever happened: "From the moment we met you, Sasuke only glanced at you, and you were already trapped in a genjutsu..."

"I should say..."

"As expected of the Uchiha clan?"

Even Kakashi Hatake couldn't perform such a sophisticated illusion technique as effortlessly as Sasuke Uchiha; in fact, he himself hadn't seen a master of this kind of illusion technique in a long time.

"Go."

Sasuke Uchiha raised his head and stared at Zabuza Momochi, his eyes bloodshot. He directly used genjutsu to imply to Zabuza, "Zabuza, kill that person hiding nearby..."

"Is there anyone else?"

Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki were startled!

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi Hatake frowned slightly. This subordinate was far too powerful; it seemed as if he enjoyed toying with people's fates.

"Yes."

Zabuza Momochi's eyes slowly became confused.

Even though Sasuke Uchiha only uses the three-tomoe Sharingan, the power of those eyes is so strong that he can easily set up genjutsu suggestions. If he could, he could even make Zabuza Momochi fall into genjutsu suggestions forever!

next moment!

Zabuza Momochi swung his Executioner's Blade at a large tree, forcing out a beautiful masked figure hidden in the tree!

"There really is someone there!"

Naruto Uzumaki watched the battle with a look of utter astonishment!

"..."

Kakashi Hatake looked somewhat uneasy, but he simply stared at Sasuke Uchiha, who remained calm.

This subordinate's mentality...

Is it excessive coldness or excessive maturity?
