Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 61: Another Person Joining

The intentions of Shimura Danzo are crystal clear.

Due to the Uchiha clan's long-standing presence in Konoha, Shimura Danzo had to exhaust every strategy to seize a Sharingan, and he had already set his sights on Uchiha Obito, the rogue ninja.

Especially since Uchiha Obito possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Shimura Danzo believed that neither Akihara Kagura nor Hatake Kakashi would necessarily be able to deal with Uchiha Obito, who had the Mangekyo Sharingan. He estimated that it would take his own cunning and experienced intervention to stand a chance.

To take a step back

Even if these two had the opportunity to deal with Uchiha Obito, Shimura Danzo must be present to preemptively recover Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan.

Shimura Danzo instructed Akihara Kagura to remember to relay information, feeling gradually calmer: "This time going to the Mist Village, will you be accompanying Hatake Kakashi?"

"Yes."

"I will be monitoring him."

Akihara Kagura glanced at Shimura Danzo, who had regained his composure, and whispered, "The first time I came to Konoha, that guy displeased Lord Danzo. This time on the road, I will try to find an opportunity to kill him"

"I've always said, do not be too extreme in your actions."

Shimura Danzo couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "I've also told you, do not casually attack members of the Anbu. They are also part of Konoha, and besides, Hatake Kakashi is an excellent ninja... I am a magnanimous person, I won't take his offense to heart."

""

Akihara Kagura nodded insincerely.

"I've always liked Kakashi."

When Shimura Danzo said this, his face became somewhat serious: "He has a darkness in him that others cannot match. On the road, you can ask him if he would like to join the Root. In the future, I can help him spare Uchiha Obito's life"

"Alright!"

Akihara Kagura quickly nodded.

[System Prompt]: [New work task, invite Hatake Kakashi to join the Root, from the superior, Shimura Danzo.]

How can this superior always be daydreaming like this!

Discussing solely the difficulty of capturing Uchiha Obito, the entire Konoha Village has no effective means against Uchiha Obito. Yet, there he is, already planning for how to deal with him after his capture.

Moreover, Hatake Kakashi is the leader of the Anbu squad, a bona fide official in the ranks, and even has prospects of contending for the position of Hokage in the future. Yet, you want him to come to the Root Division and work as a temporary, unofficial member

"But"

Akihara Kagura thinks this task is somewhat challenging and decides to preemptively warn the superior to avoid Shimura Danzo truly believing that Akihara Kagura can accomplish this task.

"I am worried that Hatake Kakashi will not agree."

"Moreover, Hatake Kakashi might not believe that Lord Danzo can help him save Uchiha Obito's life"

"Oh?"

"Uchiha Obito"

Akihara Kagura glanced at Shimura Danzo, who remained seated firm as a mountain, and continued, "He is the culprit who caused the Nine-Tails disturbance in the Konoha six years ago."

Bang!

Shimura Danzo suddenly couldn't sit still!

"What did you say?"

""

Satisfied, Akihara Kagura lowered his head and continued, "When I met Uchiha Obito, he personally admitted to causing the Nine-Tails disturbance. However, Hatake Kakashi believes there might be doubts about this matter and wants to clear Uchiha Obito name. The Third Hokage didn't say much"

"Hmph!"

"Just as I expected!"

Anger filled Shimura Danzo's eyes, and he slammed his fist onto the desk, "The Uchiha clan is indeed the culprit behind the Nine-Tails disturbance!"

"Uchiha Obito possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan. It must have been him who did it!"

"The Uchiha clan, once they deviate in their thoughts, gain evil power and bring immense disasters to the Konoha!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Shimura Danz spoke coldly, "You go and rest first! I am now going to the Hokage's building to discuss important matters!"

"Is it about recruiting Kakashi?"

Akihara Kagura tentatively asked.

"..."

Shimura Danz fell silent for a while, then decided to leave the matter in Akihara Kagura's hands, "Uchiha Obito will certainly be executed! As for the others... handle it as you see fit!"

"Yes."

Akihara Kagura could only nod helplessly.

Since the boss had said to handle it himself at such a time, if there were any problems after recruiting Hatake Kakashi, then it shouldn't be this subordinate who takes the blame!

"Right."

Akihara Kagura remembered something, trying to clear his own name, "Lord Danz, about the matter with Aburame Tatsuma..."

"I don't care about such trivial matters."

Shimura Danz showed little interest in this matter and did not care whether Akihara Kagura wanted to clear his grievances, but simply instructed him, "Just remember one thing, do not kill recklessly within the village!"

"..."

How could this false accusation not be cleared?

Why did Shimura Danz, his superior, carry such a false accusation himself and still let his subordinate bear it too?

Never mind.

These are all minor issues.

Akihara Kagura could only watch helplessly as Shimura Danz went to the Hokage's building. This boss would run off to the Hokage's building at the slightest issue, unable to accomplish anything and still end up frustrated.

Anbu changing room.

When Akihara Kagura returned here, he planned to remove his Anbu gear and take the opportunity to wander around the village during his free time.

However, Hatake Kakashi could no longer wait.

Over the years, this was the first time Hatake Kakashi had been so proactive.

Hatake Kakashi received permission from the Third Hokage to leave the Konoha Village. Without even returning home to pack, he headed straight to the ANBU base to meet with Akihara Kagura.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"To avoid alerting Obito."

Hatake Kakashi, draped in a white cloak, spoke softly, "Obito has always concealed his identity, not wanting anyone to know he is still alive... With Obito's identity now exposed, he might eliminate any traces he's left behind."

Hatake Kakashi found them another reason: "The village has always needed us to gather intelligence on the Mist Village."

As Hatake Kakashi spoke of this reason, it sounded increasingly convincing: "The Mist Village is isolated from the ninja world, having long implemented a closed-door policy towards the Land of Water. Few have been able to obtain information from within. The Konoha has always lacked intelligence on the Mist, which is why I quickly received permission from the Hokage to leave the village..."

"..."

Akihara Kagura felt that Hatake Kakashi was making a lot of sense.

[System Prompt]: [New work task, assist Hatake Kakashi in gathering intelligence on the Mist Village, assigned by superior Hatake Kakashi.]

"By the way."

Hatake Kakashi, as if suddenly remembering something, spoke to Akihara Kagura, "I forgot to tell you, someone from the Uchiha clan will be joining us. We need to make a trip to the Uchiha clan district first."

After all, Obito Uchiha was also a member of the Uchiha clan.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, ordered Hatake Kakashi to summon Uchiha Fugaku to inquire about the situation. He proactively informed Uchiha Fugaku of some details about Uchiha Obito, including the still questionable issue of the Nine-Tails' disturbance.

After all...

The Nine-Tails' disturbance has always been a thorn between the Konoha and the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Fugaku immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and resolved to send people to investigate the whereabouts of Obito under the orders of the Third Hokage.

If this Uchiha Obito really was the culprit behind the Nine-Tails' disturbance, the threat would be no less than that of Konoha's Number one rogue ninja, Uchiha Madara. The Uchiha clan had already suffered enough from the defection of their former leader, Madara...

If the matter concerning Uchiha Obito really turned out to be true...

The entire Uchiha clan no longer needs to consider compromising with the higher-ups of Konoha
