Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 5: New Superiors

Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.

Undoubtedly, it was the lifelong obsession of Shimura Danzo.

As for Danz's claim that only Konoha could use the power of Wood Release, everyone present knew it was merely a joke, and no one took it seriously...

This old man always spoke of doing everything for the sake of Konoha, but behind the scenes, he wished to hold all power in his own hands.

No.

Shimura Danzo wished to possess these powers himself.

If he could create a second Wood Release ninja...

It would mean that Orochimaru's technique was somewhat mature.

Shimura Danzo's heart burned with desire, perhaps he too could transplant Hashirama's cells, thus awakening the First Hokage Senju Hashirama's Wood Release Kekkei Genkai!

The old man's gaze sharply shifted from the boy to Orochimaru's face, immediately asking the question he most wanted to know.

"Orochimaru, does the awakening of Wood Release in this child mean that Hashirama's cells can now be successfully transplanted onto others?"

"No."

Orochimaru shook his head, dousing the old man's fervor with cold water: "The cell experiment on Kagura was a success, but it was a mere chance occurrence in the experiment..."

"Alright."

The old man's mood suddenly became somewhat displeased.

"However..."

Orochimaru's tone changed, a cryptic smile appearing on his lips: "I have found another experimental idea through this experiment, but I still need some precious experimental materials and a lot of funds"

""

Akihara Kagura looked at Orochimaru in surprise.

This success of Hashirama's cell transplantation was entirely because he possessed a feature of "Science of the Ninja World"...

Any human experiment on him, as long as it conforms to the theory of Science of the Ninja World, is bound to succeed, how could it possibly give Orochimaru any new experimental ideas...

Shimura Danzo, the investor, was not quite aware of the situation.

The old man's brows furrowed slightly, seemingly in difficulty, but eventually, he responded: "List what you need, I will try to arrange for it... I hope to see something satisfying next time."

"Next time for sure."

Orochimaru nodded, his smile growing wider.

"Then I will take him away."

Shimura Danzo waved to the boy, his old and sinister voice softened a bit: "Child... is your name Akihara Kagura?"

"Yes."

Orochimaru nodded again, pushing the boy's shoulder, smiling as he spoke: "Take good care of this child, I wouldn't want anything to happen to him, his body might still be useful for future experiments"

""

The young Akihara Kagura was being pushed towards Shimura Danzo.

"I understand," Shimura Danzo nodded in agreement.

Shimura Danzo reached out to pat the boy's head and after a moment of thought said, "From today onwards, you are a member of the Root... Forget your name, your code name is 'A'."

The boy's expression was instantly stunned.

Dammit...

Is the old guy living too long!

Akihara Kagura almost forgot about this! All members of the Root organization under Shimura Danzo are forced to discard their names and emotions, and live their entire lives only known by a code name.

However...

[System Prompt]: [You have a new superior (Shimura Danzo), a reward for new member joining, unlocking new features!]

[System Prompt]: [You have a new superior (Sarutobi Hiruzen), a reward for new member joining, unlocking new features!]

[Ninja in the Shadows (When the host needs information, they will receive the required content, a reward from the new member welcome package.)]

[Ninja Professor (When the host learns ninjutsu, any ninjutsu that conforms to the theory of ninjutsu will surely be learned successfully, a reward from the new member welcome package.)]

"Yes, Lord Danzo!" Akihara Kagura quickly agreed.

Although Shimura Danzo is not a good person, even wanting to change his name, the superior's welcome package is quite powerful!

Moreover...

Once becoming a subordinate of Shimura Danzo, one automatically joins the organization called Konoha. In theory, all ninjas of the Konoha Village are subordinates of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and thus receive another new member welcome package! Moreover...

These two features...

Whether it is the intelligence ability brought by [Ninja in the Shadows] or the learning ability brought by [Ninja Professor], all are urgently needed by Akihara Kagura!

Shimura Danzo is a good boss!

Akihara Kagura feels that being renamed is a small matter. When the time comes that Lord Danzo no longer wishes to live, he will find a way to leave a whole corpse for Lord Danzo...

Shimura Danzo does not know yet that the young man beside him has already started to think about his funeral. He waved his hand to indicate to two subordinates, planning to take Akihara Kagura and leave this place.

Before leaving.

Shimura Danzo seemed to think of something, suddenly turned back, and said to Orochimaru: "By the way, this base is no longer safe..."

"Hmm?"

Orochimaru immediately furrowed his brow.

This base, compared to other bases, has more complete experimental equipment and has always been well-organized due to Akihara Kagura, a modern educated transmigrator managing it, making Orochimaru want to use this base as a long-term stronghold.

"I have received a piece of intelligence"

Shimura Danzo's expression looked somewhat unpleasant, as if he was mentioning someone he didn't want to bring up: "In a small town near this base... your old friend has appeared."

"...I know."

Orochimaru immediately thought of a tall man with white hair.

Orochimaru's expression also became grim, he clenched his teeth and muttered, "That guy Jiraiya... really is a lingering..."

"Some have reported his whereabouts to me."

"Since you left Konoha, Jiraiya has been secretly investigating your whereabouts. He is as foolishly naive as your teacher, but both are troublesome for us."

Danzo, who never liked Jiraiya who had a somewhat similar temperament to Hiruzen, coldly said: "If there's a chance, it would be best to kill him to avoid further trouble."

"...I know."

Orochimaru's face immediately turned even more unsightly, and he said in a deep tone: "That Jiraiya... is not so easy to deal with..."

"I can leave Tatsuma here to help you."

Danzo pointed to a guard ninja beside him: "Tatsuma has been your old partner, you two..."

"No need."

Orochimaru coldly refused the suggestion, indifferently saying: "Jiraiya... that fool, has never been my match since ninja school..."

"Then I will be leaving first."

Danzo nodded his head.

"..."

Akihara Kagura stood beside them, somewhat speechless.

Lord Danzo is getting old, his eyesight is not what it used to be. Can't he see such a small thing?

Hoping Orochimaru could kill Jiraiya in this lifetime is like hoping you could kill the Third Hokage Hiruzen in your lifetime!
