Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 205: Taking care of Lord Danzo till Old Age

Bastard!

Shimura Danzo felt a surge of anger rising in his chest!

This elder always believed that his forced defection from Konoha was a trap set by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he never expected it to be the handiwork of Akihara Kagura, that Bastard!

"It was you..."

Unable to regain his composure and rationality, Shimura Danzo glared somberly at Akihara Kagura in front of him: "I became a rogue ninja because of you..."

"Yes."

Akihara Kagura nodded, not denying his actions, and sighed, "It was actually quite troublesome to arrange this, to make Lord Danzo leave Konoha and enjoy some peace outside, I had to use quite a few people..."

"Not only did I have to frame you in front of the Hokage, but I also had to frame the Hokage in your presence, the most troublesome part was avoiding alerting others..."

"Bastard..."

"Don't be angry."

Akihara Kagura quickly tried to calm the nearly seventy-year-elder, fearing he might die of rage right there: "I did it for Lord Danzo's sake..."

Shimura Danzo glared at Akihara Kagura, grinding his teeth, filled with hatred as if he wanted to bite Akihara Kagura to death right there: "Framing and forcing me to defect, you call that considering my well-being?"

"But..."

Akihara Kagura pointed to a group of Uchihas and continued, "When these people were driven to a corner, they didn't even have a chance to defect..."

"The Uchiha were always a destabilizing factor in the village..."

Shimura Danzo's eyes narrowed slightly, not hiding his disdain for the Uchiha: "They wanted to start a coup in Konoha, they should have been dealt with..."

"It's you elders who forced them!"

An elderly Uchiha stood out, he was very old and had experienced much: "We abandoned Madara to stay in Konoha, only to find that the village elders were doing everything they could to eliminate the Uchiha..."

"The Uchiha clan is inherently evil..."

Shimura Danzo started with the old rhetoric.

"Are they really?"

Akihara Kagura glanced at the group of Uchiha, seemingly curious about Shimura Danzo's claims: "They've been quite obedient these past few years at the Root, doing whatever they were told, even when they were tasked with framing you, no one objected..."

Not only did they not object, but they were also very enthusiastic.

The Uchiha clan had hated the village elders to the core, especially after they learned from Shisui that Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Itachi had killed the entire Uchiha clan!

However...

These Uchihas were indeed obedient.

Maybe it was because of Shisui's leadership, maybe because they recognized Akihara Kagura's Sharingan, maybe because they had no home or place to go, maybe because there was no hope anywhere else, only here could they find refuge, these Uchihas did not cause trouble.

Shimura Danzo ignored the elderly Uchiha man, looking disdainfully at Akihara Kagura: "The Uchiha clan is naturally evil, sooner or later a dangerous person like Uchiha Madara will emerge, Kagura, you will regret this one day..."

"Now I am the head of the Root."

Akihara Kagura spread his hands, a strange smile appearing on his lips, his eyes faintly showing a striking crimson: "Lord Danzo, is there a possibility that I am that dangerous person like Uchiha Madara..."

"Akihara Kagura!"

Shimura Danzo looked at Akihara Kagura in disbelief!

All along...

Akihara Kagura had never revealed his Sharingan!

At this moment...

The elder realized something even more terrifying!

Akihara Kagura had never shown his Sharingan, this guy also carried Uchiha genes, and he was hiding more than he imagined!

What frightened Shimura Danzo even more was that what Akihara Kagura said was true, because he really was that dangerous person like Uchiha Madara, even more dangerous than Uchiha Madara, Akihara Kagura not only had the bloodline of the Sharingan but also the power of the First Hokage!

The most terrifying...

Was Akihara Kagura's scheming!

How could this guy endure not using his Sharingan!

"Really... I didn't expect..."

Shimura Danzo's fingers curled into his palm, staring at Akihara Kagura's crimson eyes: "I never noticed you had Uchiha blood... Orochimaru didn't notice this either, did he?"

"Of course."

Akihara Kagura nodded, then chuckled and shook his head: "However, Lord Danzo, I actually did use the Sharingan in front of you."

"..."

Shimura Danzo frowned in thought.

When...

Had he not noticed? It's impossible, he was very sensitive to the Sharingan, he couldn't have overlooked it!

"When?"

Shimura Danzo's brow furrowed tightly, unable to recall: "Could it be that you used the Sharingan on me and applied a genjutsu at that time..."

"Yes..."

Akihara Kagura nodded, his eyes gradually turning into a pair of peculiar Mangekyo Sharingan, smiling as he asked, "If nothing else, that must have been the most terrifying genjutsu you've ever experienced in your life, right? Do you still remember, Lord Danzo?"

"That time... It was you!"

Shimura Danzo looked at Akihara Kagura, suddenly remembering!

That time, he had just arranged his men, using Izanagi to take one of Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan, and then he was caught in a very terrifying genjutsu, losing that eye in the genjutsu world!

That time...

Shimura Danzo thought it was Uchiha Obito...

He never imagined that it was Akihara Kagura who had acted then!

"That genjutsu world was quite comfortable, wasn't it?"

Akihara Kagura spread his hands, smiling as he asked, "I carefully prepared and built that genjutsu world for you..."

"Bastard..."

Shimura Danzo, recalling his life of being continuously tricked in the genjutsu world, wanted to devour Akihara Kagura alive: "What else have you hidden from me, it was I who brought you into Konoha..."

"Then the first thing you did was erase my name."

Akihara Kagura's mouth curved in a sneer, unconcerned by Shimura Danzo's anger: "You just wanted to use me as a tool, the day you brought me into Konoha, I had already planned how to leave the Root..."

"So I immediately released a Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence that alerted the Third Hokage during my training in Wood Release, because I knew the Third Hokage would not allow a power beyond his control..."

"You!"

Shimura Danzo's angry eyes were bloodshot!

"Everything went as I had expected, I was assigned to the Anbu by the Third Hokage, thus escaping your control, but still not escaping the dangers you brought..."

Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo's bloodshot eyes and continued, "To be able to escape your control, I showed my value in front of the Third Hokage while inciting discord between you and the Third Hokage..."

"Because you both wanted to use me as a weapon..."

"However, people always have a greedy heart, owning a weapon in one's hands is enough, it shouldn't be handed over to others, so the Third Hokage naturally tried his best to free me from your control..."

Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo and continued, "As long as I slightly showed that you still had hopes of controlling me, the Third Hokage would never let you get close to me, to avoid contaminating his exclusive weapon with you..."

"Like when I liked to show up in front of Hatake Kakashi, I would handle the Third Tsuchikage and Fourth Mizukage for you, yet let Hatake Kakashi report to the Hokage Tower first..."

"But Hatake Kakashi and the Third Hokage never understood, I always deliberately avoided routes that the Root might detect, letting the Third Hokage always receive the information just in time to meet with the Kages of other villages..."

"The Third Hokage never understood, I would never be tainted by your control, he just needed to think I would be..."

"..."

By this time, Shimura Danzo had figured out why there was a period when Sarutobi Hiruzen forbade him from contacting Akihara Kagura...

That time...

Sarutobi Hiruzen indeed didn't want him to control Akihara Kagura anymore, even assigning him a mission to monitor the Uchiha, allowing him to temporarily let go of Akihara Kagura!

The origin of it all...

Turned out to be Akihara Kagura's meddling in between!

"Everything went smoothly after that."

Akihara Kagura looked at Danzo, continuing, "To make the Third Hokage think my strength was crucial for Konoha, I revealed Uchiha Obito's identity, personally capturing the Fourth Mizukage and Third Tsuchikage, all making the Hokage understand one thing, my power was strong, absolutely not to be sacrificed lightly, and killing me would also be troublesome..."

"Just right..."

"The threat from the Uchiha clan was growing..."

"To have more power to suppress the Uchiha, the Third Hokage would continually enhance my power, choosing a lesser of two evils... of course, I also behaved not like a poison, always appearing very dangerous yet safe."

"My danger was always towards my enemies."

"My safety was always towards my friends."

"I made the Third Hokage understand, I was the guarantee of peace and safety for Konoha, my presence allowed the Konoha elders to easily handle the crisis of the Uchiha coup."

"But that monkey doesn't know, you are the biggest crisis..."

Shimura Danzo squinted his eyes, looking at this group of surviving Uchiha, and said solemnly, "I am curious, what means did you use on the night of the massacre to save them, and even make people think they all died..."

"Uchiha Itachi."

When Akihara Kagura mentioned this name, all the Uchiha present were visibly angry, hating that traitor of their clan more than they hated the Konoha elders!

"Uchiha Itachi controlled the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, who left Konoha."

Akihara Kagura did not shy away from his past plans: "Uchiha Itachi would not understand, the reason he could obtain the Three-Tails was because of the information I delivered..."

"I guessed that when Uchiha Itachi wanted to kill his clan but didn't have enough time to search, he would definitely use the Tailed Beast Bomb to clear the Uchiha's clan land, perfectly covering my rescue of these survivors, and making people think they were buried under the Tailed Beast Bomb..."

"Of course."

"Even if Uchiha Itachi hadn't controlled the Three-Tails to release the Tailed Beast Bomb at that time, it wouldn't matter."

Akihara Kagura spoke leisurely about his backup plan: "I would use the True Several Thousand Hands to destroy the Uchiha's clan land, completely covering the traces of their disappearance..."

"Just right."

"That night, you also lost your power."

Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo, his eyes showing a bit of pity: "Just right when the news from the Mist Village came, I saw an opportunity, I finally had a chance to frame you, and also kick out those ninjas loyal to you from the Root..."

"So you let me take those people..."

Shimura Danzo stared at Akihara Kagura, he had been tricked at that time!

At that time, although he had gained many hands, he lost the complete surveillance of Akihara Kagura, letting this group of surviving Uchiha completely take over the Root!

"Yes..."

"They were too loyal to you."

"Just right you were short of hands, I simply gave them all to you."

Akihara Kagura did not deny it, continuing, "Even if you didn't want them, I would find a way to send them to the Anbu, to prevent them from interfering with my plans."

"As a result, you fell for it."

Akihara Kagura smiled, seemingly satisfied with Shimura Danzo's performance at that time: "You even took away two spies I had planted by your side..."

"Hmm?"

Shimura Danzo's eyes flashed, looking towards Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū: "Torune, Fū, you two..."

"They are my personal guards..."

Akihara Kagura spread his hands, signaling Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū to come to his side: "What does personal guard mean, I have specially reminded Lord Danzo, Lord Danzo should understand it more than anyone, right?"

"Lord Kagura."

Aburame Torune immediately stood behind Akihara Kagura.

"Lord Kagura."

Yamanaka Fū followed by Aburame Torune's side.

Akihara Kagura looked at the two returning spies, then looked at the lonely Shimura Danzo: "Lord Danzo became a rogue ninja, you two played a significant role."

"You... you even dared to betray me!"

"They were never loyal to you."

Akihara Kagura chuckled, continuing, "When you were in the Land of Rain, I sent people to pretend to be subordinates of the Third Hokage to clear your manpower, specifically leaving these two, just hoping they would influence you..."

"So that's how it is..."

Shimura Danzo perhaps reached the point of despair, his eyes somewhat lifelessly silent: "All these years, it really was you, manipulating my life from the shadows..."

"Not for long."

Akihara Kagura seemed not particularly proud, counting briefly before speaking: "I am only seventeen this year, Lord Danzo is almost seventy. When I first saw you, I had already planned how to care for you in your old /Bleam
