Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 36 What did that bastard say to you?

"The Wood Release bloodline limit might not be of any use to the Eye of the Moon plan."

The mysterious masked man seemed to dislike the power of Wood Release, coldly stating, "I have also awakened the Wood Release bloodline limit, but I don't believe Wood Release is more powerful than the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"..."

That must be because your Wood Release is too weak!

The pitcher plant monsters were well aware of this, but they didn't intend to argue with the mysterious masked man. They knew that the mysterious masked man's Mangekyou Sharingan was indeed more powerful than his Wood Release.

"alright."

It seems that there are two wills within the pitcher plant monster.

The pitcher plant monster's black half-face moved slightly, and it spoke in a somewhat hoarse and gloomy voice: "We just happen to be in Konoha. Let's observe that kid's talent in Wood Release. The Eye of the Moon Plan needs a lot of powerful helpers. One more person is always useful..."

"Besides, I just went to the Forest of Death in Konoha to observe."

"Although we didn't see that brat use Wood Release, the forest still retains a rich life energy, proving that the brat's Wood Release was not useless."

"Alright."

"If that brat is really useful... a brat full of darkness and weaknesses is a piece of cake for me to deal with."

The mysterious masked man ignored the pitcher plant monster beside him, nonchalantly raising his hand and clenching it into a fist: "I have a pawn in my hand that can deal with him. With just a little trickery, I can make him deserted by everyone and have nowhere to go..."

"Oh?"

The pitcher plant monster became somewhat curious.

"Some time ago, I discovered someone sneaking into Kirigakure. It was Ryoma Aburame, one of Danzo Shimura's men, and I captured him myself."

The masked man spoke of his plan with an air of smug pride: "If I kill Aburame Ryoma with Wood Release ninjutsu and then have the body found by the people of Konoha, I can frame that brat Akihara Kagura..."

Theoretically speaking, this plan is somewhat simple.

If it were actually implemented, there would be a very high probability that the goal could be achieved, because there are not many people in the ninja world who possess Wood Release bloodline limit.

"The rest of the time is spent observing that brat."

The mysterious masked man finally nodded, then snorted coldly, saying, "I also want to observe how the seed I left behind two years ago is growing..."

"Uchiha Itachi?"

A strange smile appeared on the white half-face of the pitcher plant monster's head: "Back then, you personally killed Itachi Uchiha's teammate, causing that kid to awaken the Sharingan. To awaken the two-tomoe Sharingan on his first try, his talent is not bad..."

"So I spared his life."

The mysterious masked man nodded, speaking with an air of complete confidence: "That kid Uchiha Itachi has the potential to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. Just give him a little stimulation, and his Sharingan can advance even further."

"Hehehehe... What a coincidence!"

The pitcher plant monster's white half-face seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly became excited: "It just so happens that Konoha is holding the Chunin Exams, and Uchiha Itachi and Akihara Kagura are both participating!"

"According to the past rules of the Konoha Chunin Exams, during the third round of the Chunin Exams, Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi might very well clash on the field. Let's take this opportunity to observe that Wood Release brat and the Uchiha brat, and see who's stronger!"

"It's the Chunin Exams again...?"

The masked man's voice deepened.

Chunin Exams.

A topic that ninjas would never avoid.

Inside the Root organization's base, Shimura Danzo was also discussing the Chunin Exams, but when the old man mentioned the Chunin Exams, his face became so gloomy that it seemed as if water was dripping from it.

"First!"

Danzo Shimura was reprimanding Kagura Akihara, who had just returned to base: "You went too far during the Chunin Exams! Don't reveal your Wood Release bloodline limit so easily, and there's no need to waste chakra using powerful techniques!"

"…I see."

Akihara Kagura frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be fine if I didn't use Wood Release ninjutsu during the third exam?"

"..."

Danzo Shimura was so angry he almost vomited blood.

Use it when you shouldn't! Don't use it when you should!

Now that they've already started using Wood Release ninjutsu, what's the point of keeping it hidden?

"never mind."

Danzo Shimura waved his hand, somewhat helplessly saying, "Since everyone already knows, there's no need to hide it anymore..."

"oh."

Akihara Kagura nodded indifferently.

"Take the third exam seriously."

Seeing the boy's nonchalant attitude, Shimura Danzo said in a deep voice, "You and Uchiha Itachi are the best candidates this year, and you will definitely meet in the final round. Don't be careless when facing that brat; use Wood Release ninjutsu to defeat him!"

This exam has political significance.

If Akihara Kagura were to defeat Uchiha Itachi, the genius of the Uchiha clan, using Wood Release ninjutsu, it would make the Uchiha clan a little more sensible when facing the village's orders.

"I see."

Akihara Kagura nodded in agreement.

"There's one more thing..."

After discussing the Chunin Exams, Shimura Danzo and Akihara Kagura finally got to the topic that bothered them most: "After the Chunin Exams, you'll be transferred to the Anbu..."

Why?

Kagura Akihara asked curiously, "Aren't we Root members already part of the Anbu? Why are we being transferred to the Anbu?"

"They were transferred to the Anbu, which is directly under the Hokage's command."

Danzo Shimura coldly pointed out the difference, continuing, "Just as the Root members are loyal to me, the members of the Anbu are loyal to the monkey..."

"etc…"

Akihara Kagura's expression suddenly changed, and she looked up at Danzo in disbelief: "Lord Danzo, why did you suddenly transfer me to the Anbu? Is this... you don't want me to continue in Root... you don't want me to continue staying by your side?"

Kagura Akihara seemed completely unaware of what she had done, her eyes straining to convey shock and even anger: "Did someone report me to Lord Danzo? I've only been away from the base for a day..."

When Akihara Kagura got to this point, she tried to squeeze out two tears of grievance, but she couldn't manage to. She could only continue sadly, "If it's because of those guys, I promise you, I won't associate with those guys anymore..."

"It's not your problem!"

Danzo Shimura interrupted him somewhat impatiently.

Although it really was this kid's fault...

Isn't it because you went too far during the exam, you little brat?

but…

This kid's attitude is so pathetic...

They even still maintain their loyalty to themselves.

but…

It's not that I have no solution.

This child will also become a pawn he has planted in the shadows!

"A, there's no need to be sad."

Suddenly, Shimura Danzo slowly reached out and stroked Akihara Kagura's shoulder, asking somewhat casually, "After joining the Anbu, will you still obey my orders?"

"certainly."

Akihara Kagura nodded quickly.

If your boss asks this question casually, you need to be firm. In addition to answering quickly, you also need to show your determination!

but…

That's not enough!

The best way, of course, is to say bad things about your boss's mortal enemy!

Kagura Akihara frowned and said with some curiosity, "By the way, I inexplicably ran into the Third Hokage tonight, and he kept talking to me about Lord Danzo..."

"Um?"

Danzo Shimura's expression immediately turned ugly, and he said coldly, "What did that bastard... the Third Hokage say to you?"

Second update!

As long as we all curse Danzo together, we're good friends. Please read on, please add to your favorites, the rankings are starting to drop again...
