Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 58: People are mourning, but Kagura and Obito are conspiring

Behind the Konoha Village.

As a hero of the Konoha, Uchiha Obito had his own grave.

Since Hatake Kakashi couldn't find the body initially, he erected a cenotaph for Uchiha Obito in the village, right beside the grave of another companion, Nohara Rin.

"I'll go and pay respects to Rin myself."

When Hatake Kakashi arrived at the graveyard, he stopped Akihara Kagura's steps, seemingly afraid that Akihara Kagura might dig up Uchiha Obito's cenotaph.

This kid is not bad, but he is too extreme in his actions. Digging up Uchiha Obito's grave is something Hatake Kakashi felt Akihara Kagura really might do.

"Alright then."

Akihara Kagura could only stop at the edge of the forest.

The moonlight in the sky was bright.

Hatake Kakashi stood in front of two tombstones.

One was Nohara Rin's, and the other was Uchiha Obito's.

"Rin, Obito has been alive all this time."

Hatake Kakashi lowered his head, gazing at Nohara Rin's tombstone, and spoke softly about tonight's events: "Perhaps he has also visited you. Before, it was he who saved me, and this time, it should be my turn to save him"

At the edge of the forest.

Akihara Kagura, feeling something, quietly retreated under a tree, hiding his figure in the darkness.

"Why are you here?"

A dark figure stood under the tree, glanced at Akihara Kagura who approached, then looked back at Hatake Kakashi who came to pay respects.

"Of course, to dig up your grave"

Akihara Kagura's face revealed a light smile, saying, "Worthy of being the boss I've just sided with, such courage. I thought you had escaped"

This dark figure was Uchiha Obito.

Nobody expected that after just revealing his identity and causing such chaos in the Konoha, he didn't flee but instead hid again in the Konoha Village.

This time, Uchiha Obito had intended to speak in front of Rin's tombstone, as tonight he finally took off his mask.

However

Hatake Kakashi, that guy, has also arrived.

Akihara Kagura, this kid, followed too, and even had the audacity to meet with me almost right under Hatake Kakashi's nose!

"You kid"

Uchiha Obito's eyes revealed a hint of displeasure. He didn't like this kid much, but had to admit that the kid had guts.

Uchiha Obito, not caring that Akihara Kagura had just joined the company, immediately started asking about his work progress: "After I left, was there any movement in Konoha?"

"A little, but not much."

Akihara Kagura smiled and reported: "Captain Kakashi took the initiative to take on the task of pursuing you, and I am responsible for assisting him."

"Hmph"

Uchiha Obito scoffed disdainfully and began to belittle his old friend: "So it's you assisting him, it seems Kakashi's luck is still as bad as ever"

Hatake Kakashi's luck has always been poor.

Ever since he was young, people around Hatake Kakashi always kept leaving. And now, having Akihara Kagura by his side was just having a spy hiding in plain sight...

"Captain Kakashi's luck can't be that bad, right?"

Akihara Kagura smiled, not quite agreeing with Uchiha Obito: "Tonight, Captain Kakashi's life should start to rebound from rock bottom, and in the future, his life is definitely going to be on an upward trajectory"

"Alright, let's get back to business."

Uchiha Obito was noncommittal to this.

With you as a spy, how can Kakashi expect his luck to rebound?

"Alright then."

Akihara Kagura could only sigh helplessly and said softly: "I originally planned to tell you about what Captain Kakashi's information got a bit later."

"We are going to the Konoha Records Room to check the records of human experiments with Hashirama cells. There should be a lot of information in the Konoha Records Room, so I guess it will take some time to search!"

"This includes the records of Orochimaru's unauthorized experiments in the village before his defection. See if we can find any traces of Hashirama cells implanted in you during your time in Konoha..."

"Konoha's archives?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Obito sneered, "You don't really think you can find records of my transplant of Hashirama cells in the Konoha archives, do you?"

Such foolishness!

It's impossible to find out! Uchiha Obito knew very well that he did not receive the Hashirama cell transplant in Konoha, as the person who helped him with the transplant was an influential figure beyond the imagination of the entire ninja world!

"Hearing you say that..."

After shaking his head, Akihara Kagura suddenly looked up intently at Uchiha Obito: "There probably won't be any traces of you in the Konoha archives..."

"Hmph..."

Uchiha Obito didn't respond.

After all, Akihara Kagura had just allied with him tonight, and he couldn't fully trust this kid yet, naturally unwilling to reveal his secrets.

"..."

The two under the tree fell silent. Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Obito each turned their heads, looking towards Hatake Kakashi, who was still paying tribute to the tombstone in the distance.

Hatake Kakashi continued to talk about his future plans to retrieve Uchiha Obito, even mentioning Akihara Kagura in front of Nohara Rin's tombstone, completely unaware that his subordinate and his old friend were meeting right here.

This scene...

Inevitably it felt a bit eerie.

If Hatake Kakashi ever found out that Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Obito were conspiring together at this moment, it's hard to imagine what his expression would be...

"I should leave now."

Uchiha Obito's figure quietly entered a space-time vortex, coldly saying, "When I need you to do something, I will contact you. You'd better become a rogue ninja soon, and I will tell you the plans that interest you."

"Alright."

Akihara Kagura nonchalantly nodded.

This new boss wasn't much either, not only failing to discuss salary and treatment with him, but also lacking a work plan, and even expecting him to defect from Konoha.

This wasn't very good

Konoha is indeed a wonderful place!

I must find a way to let Uchiha Obito know the immense help a spy in Konoha could offer him, even if it means creating some trouble for Uchiha Obito!

After a while.

Hatake Kakashi came over, seemingly having adjusted his mindset after talking in front of his companion's tombstone.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It wasn't long."

Akihara Kagura's attitude became friendlier, and he even proactively offered some information: "While I was thinking here, I suddenly remembered something. Aburame Tatsuma was killed by Uchiha Obito, his last mission was in the Mist Village..."

"Is there a possibility that..."

"Uchiha Obito is hiding in the Mist Village?"

"..."

Hatake Kakashi's expression suddenly changed.

This news instantly reminded Hatake Kakashi of something.

If Uchiha Obito has been seeking revenge on Konoha for Nohara Rin's death, then he must also be targeting the Mist Village!

The Mist Village was the source of Rin's sacrifice!

Back then, the Mist Village implanted the Three-Tails into Nohara Rin, turning her into an uncontrollable and highly dangerous Jinchriki. This forced Rin to ask Kakashi to kill her, to prevent the Three-Tails from causing chaos in Konoha.

"Thank you."

Hatake Kakashi sincerely thanked Akihara Kagura, then continued, "If there are no records about Obito in Konoha's archives, then we'll infiltrate the Mist Village!"

"You're welcome."

Akihara Kagura smiled, leisurely adding, "Anyway, I'm your subordinate. It's only right that I help you. Consider it a thank you for the ramen you treated me to tonight."
