Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 43: Copper Coins Galore!

The Chunin Exams have come to an end.

This Chunin Exam was shorter than previous ones, but it was the most exciting one in Konoha's history. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, announced that the two had been promoted to Chunin.

Akihara Kagura, Uchiha Itachi.

While Itachi Uchiha's defeat to Kagura Akihara certainly displeased the Uchiha clan, Shisui Uchiha's powerful use of Susanoo saved the day and restored their honor.

Akihara Kagura didn't have time to care about these things.

After all, this exam involves the work of two people, which is a good opportunity for Akihara Kagura to learn more about the reward rules of this part-time worker system.

[System Notification]: The task of participating in the Chunin Exams as requested by Hiruzen Sarutobi has been completed. Reward: Skill [Konoha Fluid Technique].

[Konoha Fluid Techniques (Konoha Village's basic taijutsu, including basic taijutsu techniques such as Shadow Dance Leaf, Konoha Whirlwind, Konoha Gale, Konoha Rising Wind, Konoha Great Whirlwind, and Konoha Power Whirlwind, originating from Hiruzen Sarutobi's quest rewards.)]

Good guy!

This is a coin explosion!

They only gave us a bunch of physical techniques!

Perhaps because the task wasn't difficult, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even have any special requirements, only asking Kagura Akihara to participate in the Chunin Exams.

That doesn't make sense either...

This old guy must have wanted Akihara Kagura, a Wood Release ninja, to participate in the exam because he wanted her to help suppress Uchiha Itachi. However, being a politician, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't possibly openly express his thoughts.

No wonder Shimura Danzo always scolded him…

Kagura Akihara could only console herself that her close-combat skills were rather rudimentary, and this could be considered as making up for a weakness. It wouldn't be quite right for a Konoha Chunin not to know taijutsu.

With the powerful physical abilities granted by Hashirama's cells, this was like adding another tooth to a tiger...

In comparison…

Another superior, Danzo Shimura, was not a good leader either.

[System Notification]: The mission to participate in the Chunin Exams as requested by Danzo Shimura and defeat Itachi Uchiha has been completed. Reward: [Wind Release: Vacuum Blade].

[Wind Release: Vacuum Blade (Rank B Wind Release ninjutsu, which involves channeling Wind Release chakra into a kunai to form a sharp sword. Originating from a mission reward for Shimura Danzo.)]

The reward for this technique seems a bit misleading.

Akihara Kagura didn't even have a decent kunai.

If Danzo Shimura had followed his instructions, it wouldn't have been easy for a normal genin to defeat Itachi Uchiha. Kagura Akihara was able to win purely because of the power of her Wood Release ninjutsu.

After counting her rewards, Akihara Kagura leisurely returned to the Root base, planning to report to the Anbu the next morning.

result.

The two gatekeepers stopped him.

This time, the two gatekeepers were no longer afraid of Akihara Kagura; their attitudes were as cold as if Akihara Kagura were an outsider who had intruded into the Root base.

In fact…

Akihara Kagura is indeed an outsider.

"Akihara Kagura, you are no longer a member of Root."

The two gatekeepers stopped Akihara Kagura from barging in, saying bluntly, "Lord Danzo has already removed you from Root and ordered us to stop allowing you to enter and leave the base at will. If you want to see Lord Danzo, we can help you report it."

That's what they say...

The two gatekeepers were prepared for Akihara Kagura to break in, and even wondered if she would cause a scene, but they could not disobey Danzo's orders.

In fact, Shimura Danzo reprimanded all the members of Root, believing that they had failed to obey the will of Root and had even tried to "please" Akihara Kagura some time ago...

Is that trying to please...?

That was clearly forced respect!

At that time, that brat Akihara Kagura was using Danzo's name and was stronger than them. What could ordinary Root ninjas do? As a result, Danzo stopped pampering that brat and blamed them for all the problems.

No matter what...

The roots are finally back to normal.

This time, the two gatekeepers were very firm in their attitude towards Akihara Kagura. Even if Akihara Kagura caused trouble, they would no longer let the brat pass.

"I see."

This time, Akihara Kagura did nothing. She simply took a deep look at the dark base, then calmly turned and left.

Konoha Village.

The moon in the sky is still bright.

Akihara Kagura looked up at the moon. This moon in the ninja world wasn't the real moon, but a moon that had been created by humans.

Akihara Kagura lowered her head and looked down at the scenery of Konoha Village.

There are many people in this village, but none of them are his relatives. There are many houses, but none of them are suitable for him to live in.

Akihara Kagura found a park bench, lay down on her side, and decided to rest there for the night before reporting to the Anbu the next day.

The night in Konoha Village was a bit chilly. Akihara Kagura hugged her shoulders and slowly curled up. People always find a way to get through the night.

In a dark corner.

A mysterious masked man appeared silently.

The pitcher plant monster slowly emerged from the ground.

"It seems we don't need to do anything more..."

The pitcher plant monster's black half-face revealed a sinister and terrifying smile as it looked at Akihara Kagura lying on the recliner, its voice laced with mockery: "Is Shimura Danzo always this foolish? Leaving a loyal Wood Release ninja outside without a second thought?"

"Hmph, Konoha is full of idiots."

The masked man scoffed and continued coldly, "Those idiots always think they can control everyone..."

"What should we do now?"

The pitcher plant monster, its white half-face showing some confusion, asked curiously, "According to your plan, where would be the most suitable place to dispose of Aburame Ryoma's corpse?"

"You can leave it anywhere."

The masked man remained unfazed, coldly continuing, "No one will vouch for this brat; he can no longer explain himself clearly..."

"I really didn't expect this..."

The pitcher plant monster's black half-face grinned with amusement: "Our plan went so smoothly that we didn't even need to think too much..."

"That kid must be so desperate, right?"

"Having just been abandoned by Shimura Danzo, I now have to face baseless accusations that I can't refute, and I can't even find any evidence to prove my innocence..."

"Alright, let's begin."

The masked man, not wanting to waste any more time, ordered, "Let this brat see just how cruel this fake world can be!"

The words fell.

A spacetime vortex appeared around the mysterious masked man, and his body spun rapidly before disappearing from the spot.

After the mysterious masked man disappeared, the pitcher plant monster's body slowly sank into the ground.

The park remained silent.

It seems that those two people never came at all.

A little girl with her hair in a bun was passing by the park when she noticed a small homeless person on a park bench and was startled.

"Huh?"

However, the girl felt reassured when she saw that the other person was just a boy and looked to be no older than her.

"..."

"Although I often found strange things in the village since I was a child, finding a person is still too strange!"

The little girl with the bun hairstyle had her face all scrunched up.

The little girl eventually gave up on the terrifying idea of ​​finding a person, and instead skipped back to get a small blanket, which she then covered the ten-year-old boy with.

"..."

Akihara Kagura slowly opened her eyes, reached out and stroked the blanket on her body, quietly watching the departing figure of the little girl with the bun hairstyle.

"Kind people always have good luck."

"Looks like I'm really lucky today."

First update!

Tian Tian is such a kind person!

Although I'm just a casual fan of Tenten, I feel that she's the only girl among the Konoha 12 who doesn't have a romantic mindset!

Also, the author is a die-hard Orochimaru fan, believe me! If you don't believe me, take a look at "Starting as the Mastermind from Naruto," I'm a huge Orochimaru fan!
