Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 168: Tell Kagura that I'll help him overthrow Hiruzen

Shimura Danzo was somewhat angry.

After much difficulty, he finally got a chance to make a comeback, diligently searching for traces of the Akatsuki organization outside, and even contemplating weakening the Mist Village's strength to help Konoha.

But then...

To be treated like this by Sarutobi Hiruzen?

To be inexplicably burdened with a false accusation?

Even if it was something Shimura Danzo himself had done, he didn't want to bear the blame, let alone for something he hadn't done at all. He had to go back and confront Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Shimura Danzo glanced at his personal guard, Yamanaka Fū, and ordered in a deep voice, "Fū, send the order down. We're going back to Konoha immediately!"

"Yes..."

Yamanaka Fū turned to leave.

This masked ninja with a dual Kekkei Genkai stopped him, commanding loudly, "You still belong to the Joint Pursuit Unit. Continue tracking Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi. The Hokage's orders are to only bring Shimura Danzo back."

Shimura Danzo's forehead twitches!

Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't allow his subordinates to return with him?

Did this mean he was to be without any subordinates by his side, and also never think of making a comeback to seize power again? Did that monkey bastard think of this in advance when he allowed him to make a comeback? Just to frame him at this time!

That bastard!

Daring to treat him like this!

And...

That monkey bastard conducting human experiments without telling him!

Even if he had been informed about it, letting him participate, Shimura Danzo would have felt better, perhaps even having a chance to gain that power.

Shimura Danzo stared hard at the group of masked ninja with dual Kekkei Genkai in front of him, all dressed in the unique uniforms of the Anbu and Root, all possessing the Sharingan he desperately desired, and the Wood Release he dreamed of.

"Let's go, Shimura Danzo."

The leading ninja with a dual Kekkei Genkai was not polite, coldly stating, "Anyway, once you return to the village, you won't live much longer..."

Shimura Danzo's expression immediately became even uglier.

"I'll go back with you."

This old man, looking at a group of fiercely staring ninja with dual Kekkei Genkai, could only follow them and leave first, but before leaving, he made a sign to Yamanaka Fū and Aburame Torune beside him: "Torune, Fū, you two continue to stay in the Pursuit Unit..."

"Yes."

Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū bowed their heads.

As the group of ninja with dual Kekkei Genkai left with Shimura Danzo, the last person in the team suddenly stayed behind, not looking at Yamanaka Fū and Aburame Torune, speaking to himself.

"According to Lord Kagura's orders, you will take Danzo from us, let Danzo attack the Mist ninja, hide him away, and in a few days, Konoha will issue a warrant for Danzo."

"Yes."

Aburame Torune nodded.

Yamanaka Fū followed Aburame Torune's lead and nodded.

After this group of people escorted Shimura Danzo away, Aburame Torune calmly said: "Lord Kagura ordered us to rescue Lord Danzo, and Lord Danzo was also hinting for us to save him. It seems everything is within Lord Kagura's expectations..."

"I'll go and gather some people."

Yamanaka Fū nodded, not quite understanding, but since he and Aburame Torune were united, all he had to do was follow Aburame Torune's instructions.

On the way Shimura Danzo was being escorted back to Konoha.

This old man still stubbornly dawdled, slowing down his return pace, also attempting to extract information from these dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas.

Unfortunately.

These dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas ignored Danzo completely, and there were even some with bad tempers. Once they saw Danzo slow down, they would directly bind his arms, just like the now-disbanded Konoha Police Force used to escort prisoners.

This was a complete disgrace to Danzo!

Since Danzo became the Hokage's advisor, even after being dismissed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"Are we not being polite enough to him?"

One of the dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas seemed a bit uneasy: "Shimura Danzo was once the village's Hokage advisor, after all, a high-ranking official in the village..."

"No need to be too polite to him."

However, another dual Kekkei Genkai ninja immediately responded, disdainfully saying: "After all, he's just the scapegoat found by Lord Hokage for us. If he doesn't take the blame, how can we appear in the village openly?"

This dual Kekkei Genkai ninja added: "After bringing him back for interrogation, he will be executed on the spot, to prevent this old guy from talking nonsense. Sacrificing his life for the village to gain stronger power can also be considered his sacrifice for Konoha."

"Monkey..."

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo wanted to curse, squinting his eyes.

However...

Did these guys really think they could bring him back to Konoha?

Shimura Danzo observed the people present. There were twelve in total, all with wooden spikes growing on their backs and Sharingan in their eye sockets, all dual Kekkei Genkai users, presumably not weak in combat.

Now, Shimura Danzo could only hope that Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū would bring people to rescue him soon...

Once these two subordinates rescued him, he would immediately lead people back to Konoha in secret, first trying to contact Uchiha and change the blame Sarutobi Hiruzen had placed on him!

At noon.

This squad was resting by the river in the Land of Rain.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A group of Wind Release ninjas combined their Wind Release ninjutsu, this powerful Wind Release technique instantly blew everyone away, throwing this squad into chaos!

Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū immediately led a group of former Root ninjas to surround them, launching a sudden assault on this squad!

This squad of dual Kekkei Genkai users seemed unable to react in time. Just as they were regrouping, they found that the enemy, who had launched the surprise attack, had already taken the opportunity to rescue Shimura Danzo!

"Lord Danzo!"

Aburame Torune cut the ropes binding Shimura Danzo's wrists with a single strike!

"Well done, Torune."

Shimura Danzo, moving his somewhat stiff wrists, took the cane handed over by Yamanaka Fū, and ordered in a deep voice: "Kill all these arrogant bastards."

"Yes!"

Aburame Torune quickly accepted Shimura Danzo's order!

However, the battle did not go as well as expected. Even though Shimura Danzo's subordinates were elite ninjas, they were far from being a match for this group of dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas!

"Are you defying Lord Hokage's orders, planning to desert and rebel?"

The leader of the dual Kekkei Genkai ninja spoke in a cold voice, issuing the order without hesitation: "Shimura Danzo intends to betray and flee. Kill him on sight, without mercy!"

A group of dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas charged forward like wolves and tigers!

One of them, wearing a mask, had his left hand transform into a vine to bind an enemy, while his right hand grew a wooden spike, stabbing into the enemy's chest!

"Wood Release: Piercing Spike Technique!"

The speed of the others was just as formidable!

In an instant, one of them immobilized an enemy with an illusion technique, while another swiftly plunged a wooden spike into the heart of this immobilized enemy!

This group of dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas, in their first battle, had already adapted to the battlefield carnage as if they had experienced chaotic battles before!

Indeed.

This group of dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas had considerable combat experience.

In the limited Tsukuyomi world provided by Akihara Kagura, these dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas accumulated a wealth of combat experience in the illusionary world, where they encountered enemies under Shimura Danzo's command most frequently!

"Take root, Fu, let's retreat!"

Shortly after the battle began, Shimura Danzo realized his forces were quickly collapsing and could only issue a frustrated order to retreat, leaving others to cover their escape.

"These guys..."

Shimura Danzo could only flee the battlefield first.

Aburame Torune followed closely behind Shimura Danzo, calmly suggesting, "We'll attack the Mist ninjas as Konoha and use the Mist to fight them."

"Good."

Shimura Danzo had no psychological burden regarding such actions.

Whether it was the pursuing dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas or the nominally allied Mist ninjas, Shimura Danzo felt no fondness towards them, and having them fight each other suited his wishes.

Shimura Danzo glanced back at his followers; he hadn't brought many people when leaving the Konoha Village, and many were killed in the initial encounter.

Others were left behind by Danzo to delay the dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas, preventing them from pursuing him.

At this moment, only his personal guards Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū were left by Shimura Danzo's side, the old man feeling a sense of nostalgia.

In fact, Shimura Danzo's forces had changed several times, with everyone being wiped out during the first attempt to surround the Akatsuki organization, leaving only Danzo to escape; attempting to steal Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Sharingan led to the annihilation of a group of Root ninjas due to Danzo's greed; now, to escape, Shimura Danzo felt that his forces were probably going to be killed by the dual Kekkei Genkai successors...

However...

This time wasn't as bad.

With Yamanaka Fū and Aburame Torune, his personal guards, still by his side, if anything happened to Yamanaka Fū and Aburame Torune, Shimura Danzo might really be on his own.

"Fū, lure out the ninjas of the Mist to fight those people."

Shimura Danzo planned to use Yamanaka Fū as bait and then said to Aburame Torune, "While they're occupied with the Mist ninjas, Torune and I will sneak back into the Konoha."

"Yes!"

Yamanaka Fū vanished on the spot.

"Lord Danzo."

Aburame Torune looked at Shimura Danzo, quietly advising, "This time, the one wanting to sacrifice Lord Danzo is the Hokage. Returning to Konoha now might be dangerous..."

"The actions of those people might trigger a war between the Mist and Konoha. By the time the war breaks out, the Hokage might no longer wish to sacrifice Lord Danzo."

"..."

Shimura Danzo fell silent.

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to push him out to take the fall and die.

If he only took Aburame Torune back to Konoha at this time, even if Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were willing to help, there was no guarantee that they could persuade Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If he didn't want to sacrifice...

Sarutobi Hiruzen only needed to order Akihara Kagura to take action directly, and he and Aburame Torune were definitely not Akihara Kagura's opponents, they could only wait to die!

At that time...

Wait, Akihara Kagura?

Shimura Danzo suddenly remembered that he still held leverage over Akihara Kagura, even though Akihara Kagura also held leverage over him...

But...

If the two of them could counterbalance each other...

Perhaps he could still get Akihara Kagura to help him!

"Torune."

Shimura Danzo was very clear on how to use others, especially in the internal strife of Konoha: "Find a way to sneak back to Konoha, meet Akihara Kagura, and tell Akihara Kagura that I want to meet with him, willing to help him fully ascend to the position of Hokage!"

"If Akihara Kagura wants to hand you over to Sarutobi Hiruzen, then tell Akihara Kagura that Sarutobi Hiruzen is conducting human experiments in secret, has already successfully created a group of ninjas with both Wood Release and Sharingan, and might not be willing to let him become the Hokage anymore!"

"Tell Akihara Kagura, that brat, even if he becomes the Hokage with Sarutobi Hiruzen's support, he can't control the power of Konoha and is ultimately just a puppet being manipulated and used by Sarutobi from behind!"

"I can help him overthrow the monkey!"

Shimura Danzo, when saying this, clenched his cane tightly, wanting to use it to firm his will: "I can help him truly gain the power of the Hokage!"

"Yes."

Aburame Torune could only quickly lower his head.

Although he didn't know why Lord Danzo thought Lord Kagura would help him, it seemed like there was nothing detrimental to Lord Kagura in this matter...

What is this?

A mouse asking the cat that mocks it for help?

However...

Aburame Torune didn't quite believe that Lord Kagura would still help.

Although Lord Danzo had reached this point today, it was all with Lord Kagura's help...

Shimura Danzo, watching Aburame Torune leave, was still a bit nervous inside. He pinned his hopes on Akihara Kagura because he still had leverage over Akihara Kagura.

Shimura Danzo had never thought of defecting, just hoping that he could return to Konoha, and took a deep breath saying: "Monkey, it's you who forced me into a corner, don't blame me for dragging you down with me if I have to fight to the death..."

On the other hand,

Yamanaka Fū did not disappoint Danzo's expectations.

Knowing that the group of ninjas with dual Kekkei Genkai were their own people, he simply went directly to notify them, letting them attack the Mist ninja camp as planned.

"We understand."

The group of dual Kekkei Genkai ninjas immediately agreed.

Hiding underground, White Zetzu Awei emerged, turning into Shimura Danzo's appearance, even holding a cane in his hand as if it was real.

"Cough cough cough..."

Standing among these people, White Zetzu Awei coughed a few times before continuing: "From now on, your time pretending to be Sarutobi Hiruzen's subordinates is over. Now you must pretend to be Shimura Danzo's subordinates, always remember your identity..."

"Yes."

The twelve Uchihas could only nod their heads.
