Part Time Employee in Konoha-Chapter 214: Danzo is dead but still take the Blame

The people present mostly knew Tsunade.

Except for Akihara Kagura, who was secretly plotting a conspiracy against Tsunade.

Orochimaru was pondering over Akihara Kagura's words when he suddenly realized something. He had witnessed all the pain Tsunade had endured and knew exactly where her weaknesses lay.

"Kagura-kun, whom did you resurrect?"

"It wasn't me."

Akihara Kagura shook his head, denying involvement: "I only had Yakushi Kabuto resurrect a Jonin named Dan Katō from the village..."

"Dan..."

Orochimaru recalled the man who had long since passed away.

Dan Katō, Tsunade's former lover.

Dan was the first to support Tsunade in establishing a medical ninja system and aimed to become Hokage but died on the battlefield, leaving Tsunade utterly disheartened.

"Dan, is it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also remembered the Jonin but maintained his judgment: "Kagura, you don't understand Tsunade. She would never agree..."

Akihara Kagura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and continued, "Perhaps Tsunade the medical ninja would not agree, but Tsunade, who became the Fifth Hokage, might not refuse..."

"!!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Akihara Kagura in disbelief.

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly realized his error, and even Hashirama noticed that the young man named Akihara Kagura made a lot of sense!

If Tsunade were just a medical ninja, no matter how troublesome, she would never choose a forbidden jutsu like Edo Tensei; but if Tsunade were a Hokage, her thoughts might not be the same because at a critical moment threatening Konoha's safety, neither Sarutobi Hiruzen nor Hashirama, the Hokages, would refuse the art of Edo Tensei.

As long as it was to protect the safety of Konoha...

Any means were justifiable for a Hokage.

"Third Hokage, you still need to write a will."

Akihara Kagura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, suggesting proactively, "The content of the will should permit me to perform Edo Tensei, resurrecting including you, the past Hokages, to prevent your souls from being exploited by Orochimaru prematurely..."

"As for Lord Orochimaru, first help me excavate the Third Hokage's body, let the village elders know of your threat..."

After Akihara Kagura finished speaking, he looked towards Orochimaru: "Then, please trouble yourself and Yakushi Kabuto to create some problems for our future Hokage..."

"What if Jiraiya becomes the next Hokage?"

Orochimaru furrowed his brows, posing a hypothetical question.

"He won't."

Akihara Kagura shook his head, his gaze falling on the Fourth Hokage, Minato: "Fourth Hokage, please keep the Nine-Tails inside you quiet and do not leak any information, lest its other half faces any dire situations..."

"..."

Minato hesitated for a moment but suddenly remembered his son with Kushina: "That... May I see Naruto now?"

"If our plan proceeds smoothly..."

Akihara Kagura shrugged, then continued, "But don't worry too much, since Captain Kakashi is his teacher, I guess Teacher Jiraiya would also like to take him as a disciple..."

"..."

It seemed a bit more worrying now.

Minato remembered Kushina's instructions before she died.

However...

There would still be a chance to meet his and Kushina's child in the future.

Orochimaru glanced at Minato, pondering over Akihara Kagura's plan, and suddenly cracked a slight smile.

"It doesn't seem as bad as I imagined..."

If one were to speak seriously, apart from Akihara Kagura's extreme way of thinking, Konoha's collapse plan was actually more advantageous for Konoha.

Shimura Danzo was indeed dead.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen had died, he had also been resurrected, even bringing along other deceased Hokages, rightfully protecting the safety of Konoha. If it was to protect Konoha, the four Hokages might not reject the art of Edo Tensei.

It could even make up for Minato's regrets.

The higher-ups of Konoha knew that when Minato and Kushina sacrificed themselves, they left behind an orphan, Naruto. Now, Minato had a chance to meet his grown-up child.

Wait...

Orochimaru suddenly realized something!

So, what had he gained from this plan?

"Kagura-kun."

Orochimaru realized that he seemed to have gained nothing, having lost Shimura Danzo as an ally, and lost the First and Second Hokages, two powerful Edo Tensei subjects.

What had he really gained?

He knew the intelligence on Akihara Kagura? Knew that this bastard Kagura had been secretly colluding with the Akatsuki to persecute him? How come it seemed like he had been used by Akihara Kagura all along?

"This doesn't seem quite right, does it?"

Orochimaru looked at Akihara Kagura and inquired, "The things we discussed before Konoha Collapse Plan began, they still count, right?"

"Regarding the experimental funds, right?"

Akihara Kagura seemed to remember as if for the first time, nodding repeatedly: "Except I can't provide you with a position in Konoha, I can help you with everything else."

"But..."

"Lord Orochimaru..."

Akihara Kagura looked at Orochimaru, adding, "If your experiments yield results, Konoha must also share in your experimental achievements. No matter what, advanced technology is the path humanity must take..."

"You're right."

Orochimaru smiled, licking his lips.

Akihara Kagura shrugged. fre𝚎w𝐞bn𝗼v𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝗼𝚖

As a modern person, one could not ignore the progress of technology, especially since the ninja world also had chakra, an energy that could develop alongside technology.

After Orochimaru left, Akihara Kagura raised his finger, communicating with his Tendo Path, to have him lurk in Orochimaru's shadow to monitor his actions, lest Orochimaru hatch any cunning plans.

Because Tendō Shisui could use Akihara Kagura's chakra and was also enhanced by Akihara Kagura's curse seal, he could quickly use the seal to control Orochimaru if there were any movements.

Late at night.

The Root base.

Akihara Kagura returned here with a group of Edo Tensei Hokages and a group of Root ninjas. Hashirama and Tobirama noticed these ninjas possessing the dual Kekkei Genkai of Sharingan and Wood Release and immediately sensed something unusual about their chakra.

"Kid..."

Tobirama watched a Root ninja, suddenly looking at Akihara Kagura: "These test subjects seem a bit off..."

"Oh."

Akihara Kagura seemed to react for the first time, explaining: "These are survivors I rescued on the night of the Uchiha clan massacre. According to the founder of Root, Shimura Danzo's orders, they no longer have names or pasts, and can no longer be considered Uchiha."

"Survivors!"

Tobirama frowned, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Monkey, wasn't it said that the Uchiha clan had been exterminated? Only a guy named Uchiha Sasuke was left..."

"They're not Uchiha."

Akihara Kagura sighed, his eyes carrying a trace of innocence: "Although they have the blood of the Uchiha clan, they no longer carry the Uchiha surname..."

"Shimura Danzo liked the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan very much. I thought he would like the Uchiha clan, so I kicked out the trash he recruited and stuffed all these survivors into the Root that Shimura Danzo founded."

"..."

Tobirama clenched his fist tightly.

This damned kid, just because they don't carry the Uchiha surname, are not people of the Uchiha clan!

Moreover, how exactly did Shimura Danzo manage things? Not only did the Uchiha clan not perish, but he himself was used as a sacrificial pawn, and even his department was filled with Uchiha!

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat stunned.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know where to start.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought Akihara Kagura's actions tonight were already unsettling enough. Hearing that Root was stuffed with Uchiha made his brain feel a ridiculous sense of dissonance!

Shimura Danzo...

He must have died very restlessly, right?

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew his old friend's thoughts. Shimura Danzo was single-mindedly determined to destroy the Uchiha clan, but in the end, his department was filled with Uchiha!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was complicated as he hesitated to look at Akihara Kagura: "Old man, I remember the police force of Konoha was slaughtered by Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Itachi killed the people of the Uchiha clan, and even used the Tailed Beast Bomb to cleanse the Uchiha lands..."

"Wasn't I colluding with Uchiha Obito?"

Akihara Kagura shrugged, continuing: "Didn't the village send away the Fourth Mizukage Yagura on the eve of the massacre night?"

"I gave the information about the Fourth Mizukage Yagura to Uchiha Obito, letting Uchiha Obito capture the Three Tails Jinchuriki and give it to Uchiha Itachi."

"Uchiha Itachi couldn't find these survivors on the night of the massacre. He thought some people were hiding, so he directly used the Tailed Beast Bomb to cleanse the Uchiha lands, and everyone thought the bodies of these survivors were destroyed by the Tailed Beast Bomb..."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt his perception was overturned once again.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen felt his perception was refreshed time and again. Every time he thought everything was over, new "surprises" would pop up.

But...

Perhaps this was also a good thing. At least there was still the blood of the Uchiha clan within Konoha, not just Uchiha Sasuke alone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly remembered when Akihara Kagura asked for Uchiha Sasuke: "No wonder you always said, let Uchiha Sasuke join your Root, let Uchiha Sasuke meet his clan. I thought..."

"Root won't accept him."

Akihara Kagura shook his head, indifferently continuing: "I'm just continuing Shimura Danzo's ideology. Uchiha Sasuke is just a puppet controlled by his brother's fate. These survivors in Root are the real avengers."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while, then proactively spoke: "Kagura, Itachi is also a pitiful person. Everything he did was out of desperation..."

"Don't worry, Third Hokage."

Akihara Kagura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, smiling lightly: "I won't let his life be too easy. He even refused to save Captain Kakashi. I didn't actively kill him, I was already very merciful, wasn't I?"

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless.

After a long while, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "I was also pondering solving the Uchiha problem. I didn't expect that I, as the Hokage, couldn't do it, but you did... Maybe my choices were biased, I was always deceived by your extremities. Your heart carries that kindness, making you the most suitable candidate to become the Fifth Hokage."

"..."

Tobirama strongly disagreed.

However, Hashirama and Minato thought Akihara Kagura did a good job.

Although using Uchiha Itachi's methods seemed a bit underhanded, it successfully resolved the issue between Konoha and the Uchiha, preserving the Uchiha clan's Kekkei Genkai for Konoha, even if these Uchiha were loyal to Akihara Kagura.

However...

The higher-ups of Konoha were definitely carrying a black pot.

The deceased Shimura Danzo died somewhat stifled and wronged.

However...

Shimura Danzo's utilitarian value had not yet ended.

"Good opportunity to expand Root."

Akihara Kagura looked at Karin, instructing: "Karin, select another fifteen classes of people from the remaining survivors. I'll help them transplant the Lord First's cells, and publicly claim that Shimura Danzo handed all the dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas he had to me..."

"Isn't the number a bit off?"

Karin was an extremely cautious assistant, reminding: "Lord Kagura, originally Shimura Danzo, recognized a shortage of one hundred forty-three Sharingan, theoretically fifty-nine people. Fifteen classes are sixty people. Can the sixtieth person only use one Sharingan?"

"Why bother with these details now!"

Tobirama grumbled somewhat dissatisfiedly, interrupting Karin's words: "This kid has already become Konoha's strongest candidate. Will anyone question it? I actually want to see how these ninjas, born with both Sharingan and Wood Release, really perform..."

"No, still be meticulous."

Akihara Kagura shook his head, denying the Second Hokage Tobirama's disregard for details, instructing: "Simply screen them directly. I remember they all awakened Sharingan, right? Anyone under forty can directly be added to Root..."

"There are quite a few people."

Karin pushed his glasses, pondering over the Uchiha Kagura had rescued, some of whom had grown up: "Lord Kagura, if you conduct an assessment regardless of gender, you could also select over seventy people. If the number of Sharingan doesn't match, could someone guess there are other Uchiha living in this world..."

"Few people know these things."

Akihara Kagura had already devised a solution, continuing: "Then just forge a document from Shimura Danzo, claiming Shimura Danzo was secretly collecting Sharingan all along. These test subjects are all creations of Shimura Danzo, and Root is just the receiver. If anyone questions us later, we also have evidence."

"..."

The several Hokages present twitched their eyelids.

Tobirama's expression was particularly grim, looking sinisterly at Akihara Kagura: "Danzo is already dead. Do you still need to use /Bleam
