Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 59 Captain Kakashi, you know what I mean?

Konoha Archives.

The bookshelf was piled high with strange and unusual scrolls.

This wasn't Kakashi Hatake's first time here. When he encountered the first Wood Release ninja, Tenzo, he had sneaked into the archives to investigate, so he was somewhat familiar with the place.

This is Kagura Akihara's first time here.

Kagura Akihara had always known that no trace of Obito Uchiha could be found here, so she had no interest in investigating and just casually flipped through the documents.

"Kagura".

Kakashi Hatake suddenly stopped examining the scroll and looked at Kagura Akihara: "There should be some information here that you're interested in."

"What information?"

"Regarding the movement of materials in and out of some laboratories."

Kakashi Hatake tossed the scroll he was holding to Kagura Akihara, pointed to a row of scrolls in front of him, and continued, "Would you like to come and check it out?"

"Oh?"

Akihara Kagura became slightly more interested.

However, when Akihara Kagura took the scroll, she realized a problem: it was some trouble left behind by Orochimaru when he defected from Konoha.

[July 3rd, requires eleven experimental subjects, one ton of herbs for preparing human culture medium, twenty valves, and fifteen protective glass enclosures for experiments...]

[Delivered, Ding.]

[July 9th, we need five test subjects, one hundred test tubes, twenty beakers, one generator, and three hundred meters of wire...]

[Delivered, Ding.]

[On August 16th, we need sixty test subjects, one hundred test tubes, ten tons of herbs for preparing human culture medium, and sixty chakra test strips...]

[Delivered, Ryoma Aburame.]

[November 17th, requires ten ninja test subjects, one hundred test tubes, ten tons of herbs for preparing human culture medium, and a pair of Sharingan eyes...]

[Delivered. Sharingan not yet available. Aburame Ryoma.]

"Theoretically, there should be more information..."

Kakashi Hatake frowned and continued, "Orochimaru may have already considered defecting. He destroyed most of the data in the lab, leaving only these..."

There are only four documents left. Two of them have the name Aburame Ryoma on them, and two have the name Ding on them. These are people from the Root.

These data indicate that…

It seems that it has always been the Root members who have been sending experimental subjects to Orochimaru.

Akihara Kagura, seemingly oblivious, slowly said, "Four sets of documents, three of which require test tubes. That guy named Orochimaru has smashed quite a few test tubes..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake's eye twitched.

Is this kid focusing on something wrong?

"This is such a hassle..."

In fact, Akihara Kagura had already realized what was going on.

The reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi had Kakashi Hatake bring him to the archives to look up information was precisely so that he could discover Danzo Shimura's true colors!

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted him to discover that Danzo Shimura's Root organization had been providing Orochimaru with experimental subjects, and to realize that the tragic childhood he spoke of was caused by Danzo Shimura, so that he no longer needed to be loyal to Danzo Shimura!

pity…

Those tragic stories are all fake.

These so-called pieces of evidence that Shimura Danzo supported Orochimaru in conducting illegal human experiments are nothing to Akihara Kagura... Akihara Kagura herself is the biggest piece of evidence that Shimura Danzo and Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja Orochimaru are still colluding!

"This information seems to be very unfavorable to Lord Danzo..."

Akihara Kagura seemed a little unhappy and said casually, "There are only the two of us here, let's take these away first, they're not important materials anyway."

"The laboratory's archives cannot be taken away."

Kakashi Hatake shook his head, not allowing Kagura Akihara to destroy the evidence: "This is all evidence that Danzo Shimura colluded with Orochimaru..."

"Captain Kakashi."

Kagura Akihara sighed and said, "You should know, and the Third Hokage also knows, that I am utterly loyal to Lord Danzo, yet he still showed me this so-called evidence. Perhaps it was so that I would hand it over to Lord Danzo for his disposal?"

"..."

Kakashi Hatake frowned.

Why do I suddenly feel that what Akihara Kagura said makes some sense?

When Danzo Shimura sent someone to assassinate the Third Hokage, he was still forgiven by the Third Hokage. How much more so when he had only colluded with Orochimaru once?

"The Third Hokage meant well..."

Akihara Kagura sighed in a tone unbecoming of her age, waved her hand to collect the scrolls, intending to hand them over to Shimura Danzo in the future.

"Perhaps that's not what the Hokage meant?"

Kakashi Hatake's thoughts are rather complex.

Kakashi Hatake recalled how he was misled by Danzo Shimura and almost betrayed the Third Hokage, and it was in the Konoha Archives that he learned the truth.

What good intentions could the Third Hokage possibly have?

They clearly wanted to use this opportunity to make Akihara Kagura and Shimura Danzo turn against each other, right?

"Kid, aren't you angry?"

Kakashi Hatake, watching Kagura Akihara's actions, couldn't help but ask, "Back then... you were also sent to Danzo Shimura as an experimental subject..."

"What's the use?"

After putting away the scrolls of evidence, Akihara Kagura calmly said, "Actually, I noticed some clues. What I hated most was living those precarious days as a test subject when I was a child, not knowing when I would die..."

"but…"

"There's no going back now."

Kagura Akihara gave Kakashi Hatake a deep look and continued, "Even if Lord Danzo uses me as a tool for killing, I will never betray him. I will even be more ruthless than he wants. My origins dictate that I cannot leave Lord Danzo..."

"You are just an innocent child."

Kakashi Hatake sensed that the little guy was a bit slow on the uptake and reminded him, "Judging from this evidence, you were probably also an experimental subject sent to Orochimaru by Danzo Shimura, not to mention you've now joined the Anbu..."

"Captain Kakashi."

Kagura Akihara interrupted Kakashi Hatake with a cold expression, saying, "The headmistress of the Konoha Orphanage, Nonou Yakushi, is still under Lord Danzo's command. We are different. I cannot abandon someone more important to me for my own sake..."

"I've always wanted to kill Tianzang."

"It's not just to please Lord Danzo."

"She was also jealous of his carefree nature."

"He was also jealous that someone could take him away from the roots."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake remained silent for a while before burying himself in researching the information. He understood Akihara Kagura's predicament and the truth behind the kid's extreme personality.

If it weren't for Danzo Shimura...

Is this kid a sunny and kind person?

Even the threat from Shimura Danzo…

This little devil still harbors a kind heart.

While examining the scroll data, Kakashi Hatake pondered how he should report to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, about tonight's events, hoping that the Third Hokage would be willing to rescue Nono Yakushi from Root, so that Kagura Akihara could also be rescued.

"There is no trace of Obito here."

After reviewing all the information about Hashirama's cells, Kakashi Hatake looked at Kagura Akihara, who seemed somewhat distracted, and said, "I'll go report to the Hokage and request a mission for us to leave Konoha and conduct reconnaissance in Kirigakure."

"I want to go and rest for a while."

Akihara Kagura pretended to stroke her ninja tool pouch.

That ninja tool bag contained incriminating evidence against Shimura Danzo. Anyone who saw Akihara Kagura's actions could immediately tell that he was using the pretext of resting to meet Shimura Danzo.

First update

Akihara... isn't he a child from an orphanage?
