Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 96 Hints, I'm hinting, did you understand my hint?

Kakashi Hatake left without hesitation.

Uchiha Itachi tried to contact members of the intelligence department for help, but he couldn't reach them no matter what he did. He didn't expect the intelligence department members to leave the town so quickly.

Kabuto Yakushi and Nono Yakushi, the intelligence members from Iwagakure, had no time to think about anything else; both of them were preparing to figure out a way to carry out the mission in the Tsuchi River Canyon.

"Are we just going to do nothing?"

Karin wore glasses and looked somewhat confused and bewildered.

"I'm thinking."

Akihara Kagura leisurely picked up a cup of tea, as if she hadn't cared about her boss's life or death at all: "Can I not do this job? Can I delegate it to someone else? Can I do it tomorrow? Can I delegate it to someone else tomorrow?"

For example, right now.

Why don't you go and rescue Kakashi Hatake yourself?

Should we send Obito Uchiha to rescue Kakashi?

Should he go and notify Obito Uchiha to rescue Kakashi himself, or should he send White Zetsu to notify Obito Uchiha to rescue Kakashi?

It's just one thing, yet there are so many ways to accomplish it, and some of them don't even have any consequences. It's a kind of happy trouble that makes working people happy.

"..."

Karin doesn't understand Akihara Kagura's inner thoughts.

However, Karin was greatly shocked when she first heard the declaration of giving up.

Karin, not quite understanding, brought up her most pressing question: "If Lady Kagura doesn't do something, won't Mr. Kakashi die?"

"Then I'll go do something..."

Akihara Kagura sighed, realizing she couldn't ignore her system notification.

[System Notification]: [New task: Inform Obito Uchiha that Kakashi Hatake and Rin will be watching over his life from the Pure Land.]

This is really a difficult situation!

Can these words, once spoken, become my last words?

Obito Uchiha, that petty boss, would have to rush over to save him immediately, and might even have cursed Kakashi Hatake, saying things like he'd never die before him.

Using the properties of the [Darkness of the Ninja World], Akihara Kagura scouted out Obito Uchiha's location and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel to Obito's place.

fortunately.

Obito Uchiha was nearby, otherwise Kagura Akihara would have had to go find White Zetsu Awei first and have him run over to deliver the information.

As expected of Akihara Kagura's superior, Uchiha Obito is quite audacious.

After causing the incident in Iwagakure where the Five-Tails Jinchuriki attempted to assassinate the Third Tsuchikage, this guy kept an eye on the aftermath and never left the Land of Earth.

Even at this moment, Obito Uchiha seemed to be in a good mood, drinking tea at a roadside tea stall on the edge of the town. It was impossible to tell that this guy was the mastermind behind the chaos that had just disrupted Iwagakure.

"What time is it? How can you still be in the mood for tea..."

Kagura Akihara silently cursed in her heart, downed the tea in her cup in one gulp, and vanished from the spot in an instant, leaving Karin with only one sentence: "Stay here and don't move around, I'll be right back."

On the edge of the town.

A small tea stall by the roadside.

Obito Uchiha sat here, holding a cup of tea.

Akihara Kagura appeared beside him instantly, and even sat down the moment she appeared, grabbing a teacup for herself.

"The plan went smoothly, and I completed my mission well, didn't I? Kakashi Hatake has stopped investigating those two Akatsuki members and brought me and Itachi Uchiha to the Land of Earth."

After finishing her sentence, Akihara Kagura took Uchiha Obito's teapot, poured herself a cup of tea to moisten her throat, and said, "Have a cup of tea first. I'm so thirsty after rushing here... This tea tastes pretty good. Did you add some chrysanthemums?"

"You came here using the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Obito Uchiha corrected Akihara Kagura's mistake, then asked with a grim face, "When did you leave the Flying Thunder God mark on me?"

"The last time we met..."

Akihara Kagura replied nonchalantly, offering herself a reason: "That way, I can just come see you whenever I sense the Flying Thunder God mark on you. I didn't expect you to have the leisure to sit here drinking tea..."

Kagura Akihara probably guessed that her boss was unhappy with her behavior, so she took the initiative to pick up the teapot and pour him a cup of tea: "Here, let me add some water for you, let's have a cup of tea together."

"snort…"

Obito Uchiha snorted coldly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied but unable to voice his accusations. He could only reluctantly continue the previous topic: "Fine, our plan was good, and you did a decent job completing your mission, kid."

[System Notification]: [The mission has been completed, preventing Kakashi Hatake from uncovering the truth about Akatsuki by changing his investigation direction. Reward: Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique.]

[Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique (An earth-style ninjutsu that allows the user to penetrate underground.)]

Looking at her rewards, Akihara Kagura invited Uchiha Obito to raise a cup of tea, and casually remarked, "By the way, I have something to tell you. Kakashi is going to die here..."

"Cough cough..."

These words made Obito Uchiha unable to drink anything anymore.

Obito Uchiha suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Kagura Akihara, then turned his head back as if he didn't care about anything!

"Hmph, what does this have to do with me?"

Kagura Akihara calmly completed her task: "Before Captain Kakashi passed away, he gave me his last words: 'One day I met you, and he asked me to pass on a message to you. I saw you were in this town, so I came immediately to tell you…'"

I don't want to hear it.

Obito Uchiha slammed down the teacup.

He said that he and Lin would always be watching over your life from the Pure Land.

[System Notification]: [Tell Obito Uchiha that Kakashi Hatake and Rin will continue to watch over his life in the Pure Land. Mission complete. Reward: Lightning Release: Lightning Blade.]

[Lightning Release: Lightning Blade (By forming the hand seals of Ushi-Rabbit-Shin, Lightning Release chakra is concentrated into a high-intensity electric current in the hands, combined with the speed of a thrust to pierce the target. The Lightning Blade can be attached to a kunai for ranged attacks. This technique combines the nature and form transformation of Lightning Release chakra, allowing for free alteration of the technique's form and the development of more similar Lightning Release techniques.)]

Akihara Kagura felt this job was really easy.

With just a word, you can not only have tea to drink, but also a lightning release ninjutsu that you've always liked. If you develop this lightning release technique properly, you can create many useful techniques.

Perhaps this was a mission issued by Kakashi Hatake to deliver his last words, and it actually revealed one of Kakashi Hatake's signature ninjutsu. Could this boss be rich?

Where is he?

After hearing this, Obito Uchiha glared angrily at Kagura Akihara, his face darkening and turning cold: "Where is that piece of trash Kakashi now?"

Why should I?!

Why is Kakashi allowed to stay in the Pure Land with Rin?! It was that useless Kakashi who killed Rin with his own hands!

"They should be on their way to Iwagakure, right?"

Kagura Akihara poured herself another cup of tea and slowly recounted the truth: "Captain Kakashi refused to heed our advice and insisted on infiltrating Iwagakure alone. He wanted to get information about you from the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. Before he left, he left me that last message, and I felt I should tell you..."

"It's better that Captain Kakashi is dead."

Kagura Akihara leisurely teased Obito Uchiha: "I'm the only one from Konoha who has ever fought you. The next time they come to investigate you, I should be the one leading the team. My boss is dead, so I can get a promotion..."

While sipping tea, Akihara Kagura discussed Kakashi Hatake's legacy with Uchiha Obito: "Speaking of which, what about Captain Kakashi's inheritance in Konoha? As his former comrade, are you the beneficiary? Or as his current comrade? If all else fails, how about we split it equally?"

"..."

Obito Uchiha was absolutely furious with this subordinate!

He had initially thought Kakashi Hatake was too badly injured to be saved! But it turned out that Kakashi, that good-for-nothing, had only infiltrated Iwagakure to gather information!

of course.

An infiltration mission wouldn't be dangerous for Kakashi either.

The most dangerous thing is to extract information from the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

Obito Uchiha had recently controlled Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and knew very well that the guy was stubborn and loyal to Iwagakure. He would never miss the opportunity to capture Kakashi.

"Go and save him."

Obito Uchiha decisively issued orders to his subordinates: "Don't let that good-for-nothing Kakashi Hatake die here. Otherwise, the next time Konoha sends someone to investigate me, you might not be able to influence Konoha's actions. Don't expect to become the team leader; the Konoha leadership won't let an eleven-year-old child take charge..."

"I was originally going to share this good news with you..."

Akihara Kagura sighed softly, never expecting that this task would fall to her, let alone that she could find something valuable in this matter.

[System Notification]: [New mission: Head to Iwagakure Village and rescue Kakashi Hatake, who has infiltrated the village.]

This is a good start.

With such a bond between two bosses, many stories are bound to unfold, and you'll slowly unearth treasures from among them.

For example, the bond between Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi often led them to issue the same tasks, resulting in two different rewards for one job.

When you're looking for a boss in the future, try to build connections with your current boss. This will make it easier to get tasks and rewards.

"Alright."

Kagura Akihara put down her teacup with a hint of helplessness, and seemingly intentionally or unintentionally reminded him, "Captain Kakashi has been quite good to me too; he taught me quite a few techniques in Konoha..."

Akihara Kagura knew that rescuing Hatake Kakashi would be very simple; she could just use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go in and bring him out...

One trip back and forth.

The reward for rescuing Kakashi Hatake has been obtained.

Kakashi Hatake insisted on making it seem like he was infiltrating Iwagakure for information about Obito Uchiha, as if he wouldn't be able to come out alive after his adventure to meet the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

"The technique Kakashi taught you..."

Obito Uchiha's lips curled into a cold smile, immediately revealing his disdain for Kakashi Hatake: "That idiot developed a technique that even he himself couldn't control without the Sharingan. It almost killed him on the battlefield back then..."

"..."

Akihara Kagura glanced at Uchiha Obito with a somewhat speechless expression.

Who said I learned the Raiseki technique?

Although I have indeed just learned how to use the Raikiri!

but…

Is this the main point I wanted to make?

The key question is, why don't you, as the boss, provide benefits to your subordinates?

What's wrong with Obito Uchiha's boss? Is he unable to understand human speech, or has he become too reserved in his speech because he worked with Danzo Shimura for a while?

"I might be in danger if I go to rescue Captain Kakashi."

Kagura Akihara decided to bring up her difficulties and give Obito Uchiha another chance: "I want to learn about the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's Dust Release and Earth Release techniques, so that nothing unexpected might happen if I encounter the Tsuchikage when I infiltrate Iwagakure to rescue Captain Kakashi..."

"Don't you have the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Obito Uchiha glanced at Kagura Akihara with surprise, then continued, "Dust Release takes a long time to activate, enough time for you to escape with Kakashi Hatake using the Flying Thunder God Technique... Wait, can't Kakashi also use the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

If it weren't for the worry that Kakashi Hatake would use the Flying Thunder God Technique to hunt him down, he would have been hiding somewhere eavesdropping instead of sitting here drinking tea!

"Hmm..."

Akihara Kagura, recalling her previous deliberate ambiguity, took a sip of tea and continued vaguely, "Captain Kakashi has already grasped the core essence of learning the Flying Thunder God Technique..."

"That idiot hasn't learned it yet, has he?"

Obito Uchiha was always good at grasping the key points about his former teammates.

"I'm leaving now."

Akihara Kagura didn't answer, slowly putting down her teacup: "By the way, I'll tell you something. On my way to the Land of Earth, I discovered that someone named Orochimaru might be investigating the Akatsuki organization, and he even knows quite a bit..."

Kagura Akihara thought for a moment, then added, "Orochimaru has always believed that I am his experimental subject, a vessel for him. Has he guessed my connection to the Akatsuki?"

Orochimaru? Impossible!

Obito Uchiha's attention was quickly diverted.

As a former Konoha ninja, Obito Uchiha grew up listening to the legends of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. Orochimaru, a Konoha S-rank rogue ninja, can be considered a major figure in the ninja world!

"Only Jue and I know that you are my subordinate..."

Obito Uchiha frowned and asked, "If Orochimaru really has some unknown intelligence channels that have uncovered this matter, then we must eliminate him..."

"Could we invite him to join the Akatsuki?"

Kagura Akihara offered her suggestion, continuing, "After all, Orochimaru and I have a good relationship. He used me as a test subject, which is how I obtained the Wood Release bloodline limit..."

Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Obito and casually hinted, "Orochimaru even prepared a gift for me during the New Year. When I have the chance to see him, I should respectfully address him as Lord Orochimaru."

"In terms of strength..."

Obito Uchiha didn't understand Akihara Kagura's implication, but nodded to himself and said, "Orochimaru's strength does indeed meet the Akatsuki's recruitment standards."

This is something he shouldn't do.

After all, he was a senior member of Konoha Village, and he might not be willing to obey the orders of his junior. In a fight, Obito Uchiha felt that it might be a bit troublesome...

most…

Let Pain, the nominal leader of Akatsuki, do the recruiting.

Obito Uchiha believed that he had always been good at understanding human relationships. When he helped the elderly people in Konoha, he knew that some strong-willed and stubborn elders did not like the younger generation to tell them what to do.

Second update!

Four thousand words!

There will be another update tonight!
