Starting as a part-time worker from Naruto

Orochimaru's lips curled up into a smile.

Because he had also received news from Uchiha Itachi and even more detailed battle reports, Kabuto Yakushi risked being discovered by Scorpion and delivered a message to him, hoping to make an appointment for a meeting.

Orochimaru was just about to leave Akatsuki to meet Kabuto Yakushi, but he saw Uchiha Itachi first and smiled, "Is this considered a fellow countryman gathering?"

"It's really fate..."

Uchiha Obito chuckled.

"Orochimaru……"

Uchiha Itachi had long anticipated the appearance of Orochimaru.

Because Akihara Kagura told him about this and even asked him to help deal with Orochimaru in exchange for Akihara Kagura not harming Uchiha Sasuke.

"Let's go, Orochimaru."

The Red Sand Scorpion's Hiryu Amber crawled over, ignoring Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi, and said coldly: "Didn't you say that you stayed in the Sand Village for too long and fell behind in the experimental progress. Are you going to collect materials today?"

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Orochimaru caught up with Scorpion of the Red Sand and had no intention of continuing the small talk.

Orochimaru covets Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan, but he is more concerned about the news about Akihara Kagura. The title of the new generation of Ninja God is quite famous!

This time...

Orochimaru went out under the pretext of collecting experimental materials, with the purpose of secretly meeting with Kabuto Yakushi to pass on the message when Scorpion was not paying attention!

Deep inside the Akatsuki base.

Itachi Uchiha met the leader of Akatsuki.

Tendo Pain directly gave Uchiha Itachi a ring. This ring meant that he was an official member of the Akatsuki organization. The Akatsuki organization recognized Uchiha Itachi's strength.

Tendo Pain knew his junior fellow apprentice's strength very well, and praised him earnestly: "Escaping from Kagura's hands is enough to prove your strength..."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi didn't know how to answer, so he could only frown and look at Tendo Pain with the Rinnegan in front of him, to make sure that this guy was not speaking in a sarcastic way.

When Tendo Pain spoke, he was cold and serious: "Almost all the Akatsuki organizations have been defeated by Kagura, even me is no exception. For you, it is not a shame..."

"Yes."

Uchiha Itachi felt as if he was living in the shadow of Akihara Kagura.

"but……"

Tendo Pain did not reveal the identity of Akihara Kagura, because only the top leaders of the Akatsuki organization knew about Akihara Kagura's undercover identity.

Tendo Pain carefully introduced the basic information about Akatsuki: "Akatsuki's goal is peace in the ninja world. To this end, we are recruiting outstanding ninjas, regardless of their background and qualifications. Itachi of Konoha, welcome to join Akatsuki. From today on, you are Itachi of Akatsuki."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi put on the ring of Akatsuki, took out his kunai, drew a deep horizontal line on the ninja forehead protector, and put it back on his head.

"Have you all ever fought against Akihara Kagura?"

Uchiha Itachi asked casually, seeming to be curious about some of Akihara Kagura's past experiences: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little curious."

"It doesn't matter."

Tendo Pain didn't seem to care about his defeat, because he knew that the junior brother was one of his own: "The Akatsuki organization was almost destroyed by Akihara Kagura, which is not something that cannot be said. However, after joining the Akatsuki organization, we don't have to worry about his threats in the future..."

"why?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Tendo Pain and asked curiously, "Does the Akatsuki organization still have the power to deal with Akihara Kagura?"

"This is not something you should know now."

Tendo Pain shook his head and arranged a teammate for Uchiha Itachi, the S-rank rebel ninja Biwa Juzo from the Hidden Mist Village, as his partner in the Akatsuki organization: "From today on, you and Biwa Juzo will form a two-person team to carry out missions..."

"Yes."

Uchiha Itachi nodded and raised the question that concerned him the most: "Has Orochimaru...always been in the Akatsuki organization?"

Akatsuki organization...

It seems a little unreliable.

Uchiha Itachi thought that he had followed Uchiha Obito and joined an organization composed of S-rank rebel ninjas. He was a little surprised at the strength of this organization...

result……

Is the leader of the Akatsuki organization a bit naive? He actually said directly that the Akatsuki organization was almost destroyed by Akihara Kagura. Isn't he afraid that the new members will think you are too weak?

but……

Uchiha Itachi has truly witnessed the power of Akihara Kagura and would not think that the Akatsuki organization is weak. Being able to survive from that guy is a proof of his strength.

Uchiha Itachi was still worried that Akihara Kagura would hurt Uchiha Sasuke, and wanted to find a way to help deal with Orochimaru as soon as possible according to their agreement.

"Orochimaru?"

Tendo Pain thought of Orochimaru's hard work during this period, and rarely spoke: "Orochimaru was on a mission in the Wind Country before, and only came back from the Sand Village last month..."

In order to attract Jiraiya's attention, Orochimaru ate sand in the Sand Village in the Land of Wind for a period of time, which can be regarded as his dedication to the Akatsuki organization.

however……

Tendo Pain still won't believe Orochimaru.

According to the information reported by Scorpion, Orochimaru is not trustworthy. He still has evil intentions towards the Rinnegan and even wants to get information about Nagato from him.

Chapter 158: You are hostages, don’t come to me, the kidnapper, for help!

The land of rain.

A cave in the mountains.

Kabuto Yakushi is waiting here for Orochimaru to arrive.

After Orochimaru and Scorpion arrived at a town, they saw that Scorpion was obsessed with buying parts, so they took the opportunity to come here to meet Kabuto Yakushi.

"Lord Orochimaru."

When Kabuto Yakushi met Orochimaru, he was respectful and sincere: "I'm sorry, I have to meet with you to discuss something about Kagura."

Kabuto Yakushi carefully put forward his idea: "I can find a way to lure Akihara Kagura out. Lord Orochimaru, can you ambush and kill Akihara Kagura?"

"What happened?"

Orochimaru frowned.

"Kagura replaced Danzo as the leader of the Root..."

The first information that Kabuto Yakushi told Orochimaru made him immediately realize that something was wrong. What happened to his ally Danzo Shimura?

Konoha's Sky...

Why did it suddenly change?

How did Akihara Kagura become the leader of the Root?

Although Orochimaru guessed that Akihara Kagura was destined to become a high-ranking official in Konoha, he didn't expect that guy to be so fast. Instead of staying in the Anbu, he became the leader of the Root?

"Where's Danzo?"

Orochimaru still wants to continue using Danzo!

"Danzo has lost all his power."

Yakushi Kabuto's words made Orochimaru completely disappointed in Shimura Danzo, and he continued to add: "After Kagura became the leader of the Root, he once again took advantage of the orphanage's funding problem and hoped that Dean Yakushi Nono and I would re-enter the Root as spies..."

"Besides this, Kagura wants more. Since there are no ninjas in the Root who are willing to obey his orders, Kagura also hopes that Dean Nono will select a group of children who grew up in the orphanage and send them to the Root for training, so as to train a group of ninjas who are loyal to him..."

"..."

Orochimaru frowned and whispered, "It seems to be a story about a dragon slayer becoming a dragon... How long has it been since that little guy got power, and he has already developed ambitions because of power? What is going on?"

If Akihara Kagura really became like what Kabuto Yakushi said, and became a child lost in power and strength, would she really be willing to become his container?

Orochimaru's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

What the hell is going on here?

It has only been a short time since Kagura Akihara last met him in the Sand Village. Kagura even proposed to go back and see Kabuto and Nono to arrange their funeral arrangements...

How long has it been...

That child changed and became the leader of the Root, and forced Kabuto Yakushi and Nono Yakushi into a desperate situation!

That child’s mindset…

Isn't it a bit too heavy?

At first, he looked like he could sacrifice everything for himself, then he looked like he could sacrifice everything for Shimura Danzo, then he looked like he could sacrifice everything for Kabuto Yakushi and Nono Yakushi, and now he looks like he can sacrifice everything for himself...

Now, for the sake of power, Akihara Kagura is willing to let Kabuto and Nono Yakushi be spies and even harm the children in the orphanage. Is it really possible for that guy to sacrifice again for Kabuto and Nono Yakushi?

“It’s not because power breeds ambition.”

Kabuto Yakushi shook his head, looked at Orochimaru and said, "Kagura came for power. He never really thought about saving us!"

"All along, Kagura's goal has been to use me and Dean Yakushi Nono to create a trustworthy identity for him as a child of the Konoha Orphanage!"

"..."

Orochimaru fell silent immediately.

Orochimaru originally thought that Akihara Kagura had lost herself in power, but he didn't expect that what Akihara Kagura did was much more scheming than he thought. There was no need for Kabuto Yakushi to lie to himself about this matter, because this was a reminder for him to be careful of Akihara Kagura...

If Kagura is really like this...

It's not easy to deal with Akihara Kagura...

Orochimaru could only think of some sinister means to deal with him.

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi in front of him and began to think about how to deal with Akihara Kagura. He would undoubtedly have to use Kabuto Yakushi to try to deceive Akihara Kagura.

"pocket."

Orochimaru stared at Kabuto Yakushi and asked, "To you, the current Kagura is no different from Shimura Danzo, right?"

"In fact... he went even further than Danzo did."

Yakushi Kabuto clenched his fists weakly and lowered them, and continued in a low voice: "Dean Yakushi Nono is still struggling with this matter. Kagura used her, but she still feels guilty for losing Kagura, but she doesn't want to hurt other children because of this..."

"So you want to kill him with my help?"

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi, staring into his eyes.

"good."

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice: "I'm worried that if this continues, Dean Yakushi Nono may not live long... I hope Lord Orochimaru can find a way to kill Kagura."

"I don't want to kill the vessel I want most."

Orochimaru shook his head and rejected Kabuto Yakushi's proposal. It would be difficult for him to kill Kagura, and he didn't want to kill Kagura. He still wanted to take over Akihara Kagura's body.

"But he doesn't want to be Orochimaru-sama's vessel anymore!"

Yakushi Kabuto spread his hands and continued seriously: "When Kagura heard that I came to see Orochimaru, he even wanted to trick Orochimaru into coveting his body and lure Orochimaru to get Uchiha Itachi's pair of Mangekyō Sharingan for him..."

Kabuto Yakushi had to explain the seriousness of the matter to Orochimaru, and said with a worried look: "Kagura's strength is already very strong. Once he obtains the Mangekyō Sharingan and possesses the two most advanced bloodline limits in the ninja world, no one in Konoha or even the ninja world may be able to stop him!"

"that time……"

"Kagura would never want to become Lord Orochimaru's vessel. She might even harm Lord Orochimaru and use Lord Orochimaru's life in exchange for the position of Hokage! He is now using me and Dean Nono to help him secure his position as the leader of the Root!"

"say no more!"

In fact, Orochimaru understands the seriousness of the problem better than Kabuto Yakushi.

Is this something he doesn't want to stop?

Is this something he can stop?

However, Orochimaru knew Akihara Kagura's strength better than anyone else. That child was improving too fast. If he fought Akihara Kagura now, he would almost certainly lose...

This is not something that can be solved with an ambush.

Akihara Kagura's power exceeds the limits of what an ordinary ninja can reach. Even Tendo Pain is far from his opponent. Orochimaru does not believe that he can solve Akihara Kagura through an ambush. This requires more means.
