Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 6 Your will doesn't quite align with that of the Root organization.

On the way back to Konoha.

Danzo Shimura always believed that Kagura Akihara was an obedient child. Children who were used as test subjects were usually frightened into being timid and obedient by the horrific human experiments.

result.

This little guy is an exception.

Throughout the journey, Akihara Kagura showed great curiosity about the outside world, and even asked them if they knew how to fish when they rested by the river.

fishing?

Only lazy people go fishing!

As the root that supports the darkness of Konoha, how could they possibly waste time on such matters? Even in the most desperate circumstances, they would only resort to spearfishing to supplement their food supply!

Danzo Shimura realized that this child might have a great curiosity about the world, and perhaps had never seen true darkness. He would need to nurture him properly after returning home.

Once the little guy has experienced the cruelty of this world, he will surely become obedient and sensible. Shimura Danzo felt that he was very good at raising children, especially good at turning a child with a slightly normal temperament into a tool for killing without hesitation.

however…

Akihara Kagura quickly changed his mind.

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"

Akihara Kagura used Wood Release to demonstrate a spearfishing technique by the river!

A wooden splinter emerged from the boy's palm and was thrust into the river, piercing a large fish over a meter long. The fish immediately began to struggle violently!

next moment!

The boy put his fingers together!

The splinter actually started to fork and grow back!

A dense cluster of wooden spikes grew out of the large fish's body, piercing it completely through, and the blood instantly stained the river surface red!

This Wood Release technique…

It looks extremely cruel.

"Lord Danzo, I caught a fish!"

Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo with a face full of joy.

The boy's smile appeared incredibly innocent and pure, yet it seemed exceptionally cold-blooded and ruthless in light of this bloody fishing method, as if killing was a pleasure for him.

This is a natural killing machine.

"Really..."

The old man gazed at the bloody scene before him, and slowly uttered a rare word of praise: "Exquisite Wood Release, a good child..."

Regardless of the boy's Wood Release bloodline limit or his attitude towards life, Danzo Shimura felt that he had truly found a promising talent, and all he needed to do in the future was ensure his loyalty to him!

Konoha Village.

The richest ninja village in the ninja world.

Danzo Shimura, worried that his whereabouts would be discovered and also wanting to see just how perfect Akihara Kagura's Wood Release talent was, hurriedly took the boy back to Konoha.

When Shimura Danzo returned to the village, he never liked to go through the main gate. Instead, he preferred to sneak out from the back of Konoha and open the sealing barrier to return to the Root organization's base.

As Akihara Kagura followed Shimura Danzo into a well and entered the Root organization's base, she was immediately enveloped in a gloomy and eerie atmosphere.

This boss…

Their style of doing things is too dark!

The entire root system is located deep underground.

Even though the Root organization's base has many classical pavilions and towers, some even luxuriously attached to the mountainside, it cannot change the eerie feeling under the darkness.

Bang bang bang…

The dull sound of knocking on wood echoed underground.

A group of people couldn't help but turn around and look at the boy who had suddenly knocked on the railing.

"First."

Shimura Danzo looked displeased, expressing his disapproval of the boy's actions, and said coldly, "What are you doing? Be quiet."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

After responding, Akihara Kagura explained, "I originally thought the railings would be made of stone, but they're actually made of wood. Lord Orochimaru mentioned it before..."

"Shut up!"

An angry glint appeared on Shimura Danzo's face as he fixed his gaze on the boy, his voice icy cold: "Kaku, from today onwards, completely forget Orochimaru's name!"

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Akihara Kagura agreed again and continued, "That person mentioned that the underground air is humid, and wooden buildings are prone to rotting."

"..."

Everyone present fell silent.

Danzo Shimura felt that he might have been too subtle in his words just now. He wanted to repeat himself so that the little guy would forget Orochimaru as a person, not just the name Orochimaru, but that would make him seem a bit too petty.

"I'm going to handle some official business."

Danzo Shimura shook his hand helplessly and instructed his subordinates, "Ryoma, arrange accommodations for him, make him understand the will of Root, and then take him to see me."

"Yes."

Aburame Ryoma nodded respectfully and looked coldly at the boy: "Follow me. Don't wander off. This base has many traps and forbidden areas."

"I see."

Akihara Kagura obediently followed behind Aburame Ryoma.

The base of the root tissue is very large.

The entire base resembles a giant well, with a group of tall, classical buildings clinging to the stone walls, connected by a series of covered bridges.

"A, this is your residence."

Ryoma Aburame led Kagura Akihara to a dormitory.

The room contained only a cabinet, a quilt on the floor, and a lamp in the corner, making it look somewhat empty.

"Hmm..."

Akihara Kagura glanced around her living quarters and made her request: "Please put a bed in my room. I don't really like sleeping on the floor..."

"no."

Ryoma Aburame shook his head and said coldly, "Members of Root don't need to have useless emotions or external feelings. All you have to do is accept the arrangements."

"..."

Akihara Kagura raised an eyebrow and asked, "This... are you my superior? Or rather, will you be my superior in the future?"

"No, and I won't."

Ryoma Aburame shook his head again and replied, "Danzo-sama is the only superior. Everyone's actions are based on Danzo-sama's orders."

That's the theory.

In fact, there are some unspoken rules within Root. As Danzo Shimura's close bodyguard, Ryoma Aburame's status is clearly higher than that of the other members.

However, the Root members had no other thoughts but the mission assigned by Lord Danzo. When did they ever care about the concept of superiors and subordinates?

"Now I transmit the will of the Root to you..."

Ryoma Aburame, oblivious to the boy's emotions, continued, "Members of Root have no names, no emotions, no past, and no future. They only have their mission in their hearts. What supports the great tree of Konoha is the will deeply rooted in us, the 'Root'..."

"What's your name?"

Akihara Kagura raised her first question.

"Aburame Ryoma".

"Doesn't this have a name? Aren't you a member of Root?"

"This is not a name."

Ryoma Aburame answered very quickly, as if he had already been brainwashed in a similar way: "Ryoma Aburame is my code name in Root. Lord Danzo was familiar with my past, so he chose my past name as my code name in Root."

"So you're remembering your past..."

Kagura Akihara seemed to have found a loophole and slowly said, "This doesn't quite align with the will of Root..."

Good morning!

Please add this to your favorites!

I changed the code name and reused "甲" because I discovered during my review that "乙" was already the root.
