Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 49 The Mastermind Behind the Nine-Tailed Fox's Chaos

That splinter was timed perfectly!

Because this was a trap set by Akihara Kagura!

The wooden splinter that Akihara Kagura threw was aimed at the moment when the mysterious masked man released his body through space-time ninjutsu and was unable to resist!

The masked man looked down at the wooden splinter piercing his body, his voice low and somber, "I thought I'd never get hurt again in this fake world..."

How long has it been since you last got injured?

The last time you were injured was during the Nine-Tails' rampage, right?

The last time he was injured was when he tried to kill Naruto's father behind him; this time, he was injured to protect little Naruto...

This world is so fake that it feels ironic.

The mysterious masked man naturally believed that he was protecting Naruto Uzumaki, protecting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from being killed, and ensuring that the Eye of the Moon Plan would not go awry.

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"

Akihara Kagura raised her finger!

The wooden spikes inside the mysterious masked man's body instantly began to grow!

A bizarre scene suddenly unfolded: the splinter that had grown out of the masked man did not harm his body; in fact, it suddenly fell out of his body and onto the ground.

The mysterious masked man's body had just become transparent and blurred!

This is the mysterious masked man's space-time eye technique, which allows him to place his body within a divine space to avoid being harmed in the real world!

"A bizarre technique... and the Sharingan!"

Akihara Kagura's gaze fell upon the Mangekyou Sharingan revealed by the mysterious masked man, her expression gradually turning cold: "Uchiha clan member, state your identity! Why are you hiding here in the dead of night?!"

"You don't need to know who I am."

The mysterious masked man stared at Akihara Kagura and said coldly, "I'm here only to prevent the blond kid behind me from being killed..."

How could this brat have the nerve to ask such a question!

I'm here because of you, you crazy brat!

To frame the murderer, he even wanted to kill Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. A Konoha ANBU ninja was even more extreme than his own enemy!

"How do you know someone wants to kill Naruto Uzumaki...?"

Akihara Kagura narrowed her eyes slightly, staring intently at the mysterious masked man, as if trying to uncover the secrets he was hiding: "Even I, an ANBU member, know nothing about this..."

"Oh? You didn't know?"

The masked man's voice was somewhat chilling as he questioned the situation.

If it weren't for you brat suddenly wanting to kill the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, how could I have exposed my identity and rushed over? What is that bastard Kakashi Hatake doing, putting such a dangerous brat in the Anbu!

"Now I understand!"

"I'm from Konoha's Anbu, I'll protect him!"

"You're the one who's trying to hurt Naruto!"

Akihara Kagura sneered, then suddenly shouted, "Naruto Uzumaki, get behind me quickly! This guy might be an enemy!"

"what?"

Naruto Uzumaki was a little confused.

Without a doubt, in Naruto's mind, Akihara Kagura was definitely one of his own, and the blond-haired boy quickly ran towards Akihara Kagura's direction.

"Don't go over there!"

The masked man raised his hand and threw a black rod, stopping Naruto Uzumaki's movement: "Naruto Uzumaki, don't go near that guy, he wants to kill you!"

"An intruder has smeared Konoha's Anbu?"

"Has this world become too absurd?"

Akihara Kagura swiftly manipulated a vine to sprout from the ground, and the vine quickly grabbed at Uzumaki Naruto, seemingly trying to protect him!

"The very existence of this false world is absurd!"

The mysterious masked man instantly appeared next to Naruto Uzumaki and kicked him away from the vines, sending the blond-haired boy flying backwards!

The mysterious masked man doesn't believe Akihara Kagura!

In an instant!

Naruto Uzumaki saw the face of the mysterious masked man!

A red glint appeared in Naruto's eyes, and a violent crimson chakra instantly swept over his body, covering him with a chakra cloak!

Naruto Uzumaki stared at the mysterious masked man with a ferocious expression, as if he had lost his mind, and pounced on the mysterious masked man!

"Nine-Tailed Fox..."

"Still won't you learn your lesson?"

The mysterious masked man glanced at the irrational Naruto Uzumaki, then quickly raised his hand. In an instant, a black rod emerged from his sleeve and pierced the little guy's shoulder, pinning him to the ground!

The mysterious masked man has plenty of ways to deal with the Nine-Tails, let alone just controlling a young Jinchuriki who is covered in a little bit of the Nine-Tails' chakra!

"Now it's my turn to find this interesting, isn't it?"

Kagura Akihara tilted her head, seemingly very curious about the scene before her: "Why did Naruto Uzumaki react this way after seeing you? No, I should say, why did the Nine-Tails inside Naruto Uzumaki react this way after seeing you?"

"..."

The mysterious masked man clenched his fist tightly!

Since the Nine-Tails' rampage six years ago, the Nine-Tails inside Naruto Uzumaki has not caused any problems. But this time, his mask suddenly went berserk!

Now everyone knows there's a problem!

He was only trying to protect the Nine-Tails from being killed, but the Nine-Tails' rage unexpectedly exposed some of his past secrets!

"Let me guess..."

Kagura Akihara stroked her chin and began to work backward from the known results: "The Nine-Tails can't go berserk for no reason. The last time it went berserk... you were involved in the Nine-Tails' rampage, weren't you, intruder?"

"You're really smart..."

The masked man gave a reluctant compliment.

"Your Sharingan is pretty good too..."

Kagura Akihara returned the compliment with a compliment, then slowly continued, "The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can control tailed beasts. If I'm not mistaken, it was you who controlled the Nine-Tails six years ago..."

"Not bad either."

The mysterious masked man slowly nodded.

"You hate Konoha?"

Akihara Kagura suddenly started asking questions much faster.

"good."

The masked man did not deny it.

"You don't like this world either?"

Akihara Kagura seemed to be asking a meaningless question.

"good."

The masked man, however, felt that this question was very meaningful.

If Akihara Kagura continued chatting like this, the mysterious masked man wouldn't mind letting the little girl understand his thoughts, and even wanted to entice her to agree that the false world needed to be changed.

however…

Akihara Kagura's questions gradually became strange: "If we hate this world, we always need a reason. It seems your family members have all passed away?"

"good."

Before the mysterious masked man could explain to Akihara Kagura in detail that this world was a mistake, he was suddenly asked a question that reminded him of his grandmother, whom he hadn't thought about for a long time.

"Did you kill Ryoma Aburame?"

Akihara Kagura suddenly asked a question.

"good."

The mysterious masked man suddenly spoke the truth.

"Little brat..."

The masked man's eyes narrowed sharply, realizing he'd been tricked: "You deliberately distracted me just to find out about this?"

"I should say, this is the only question I can ask."

Kagura Akihara crossed her arms, her left fingers lightly tapping her right arm: "The one who once caused the Nine-Tails' rampage, you have too many secrets. Killing Ryoma Aburame seems insignificant, which is why I was able to ask you..."

"but…"

"It doesn't matter anymore..."

"After tonight, these things will no longer be a secret..."

Akihara Kagura's chakra surged rapidly, and vines sprouted from the ground: "Now all I need to do is entangle you, and then we just have to wait for the Anbu reinforcements!"

First update!

The best way to solve problems is to work backwards from the result!
