Starting as a part-time worker from Naruto

Chapter 140: How come an enterprise like Akatsuki didn’t go bankrupt?

Salamander Hanzo has impressed many people.

The three former ninjas of Konoha admired him, the samurai of the Iron Kingdom respected him, and even Nagato, his former victim, now had to sigh at the magnanimity of Hanzo of the Salamander.

For the future of the Rain Country, this ninja demigod was willing to pave the way for Nagato at the cost of his own death, in exchange for the opportunity for Nagato to succeed as the leader of the Hidden Rain Village.

"This guy Hanzo..."

Jiraiya's expression was a little heavy.

Because in Hanzo of the Salamander, one seems to see the shadows of those sacrifices who once burned their lives for the future of the village.

After getting Nagato's promise that he would be the future successor of the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo of the Salamander finally left and returned to the Hidden Rain Village, using the title of Ninja Demigod to calm people's hearts.

After this interruption by Hanzo of the Salamander, Konan and Nagato no longer needed to discuss the affairs of the Akatsuki organization with Jiraiya, and planned to return to the new base of the Akatsuki organization first.

"..."

It was not easy for Jiraiya to ask him to stay, nor was it convenient for him to continue asking questions.

After all, it was Konoha's ninja Danzo Shimura who caused the tragedy that year. It was a blessing that these two disciples did not completely hate Konoha because of this.

The new base of Akatsuki organization.

When Nagato looked at Konan, there was some apology in his eyes: "I'm sorry, Konan, I made the decision on my own and let the Salamander Hanzo go..."

"It doesn't matter."

Konan shook her head and lowered her head: "Hanzo Salamander is willing to commit suicide to atone for Yahiko's death, and he has even been trying to atone for his past sins... As you said, even if Yahiko comes back to life, he will stop us from doing this."

When Xiaonan said this, her eyes slowly changed, and she mentioned what she was most concerned about: "Nagato, then should we consider giving up the war weapon plan? Just like Yahiko said, people can achieve peace through mutual understanding. Isn't this an example?"

All along, Konan didn't believe in Uchiha Obito, and naturally she didn't believe in Uchiha Obito's war weapon plan. She always wanted Nagato to give up this dangerous plan and stay away from Uchiha Obito.

"..."

Nagato was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Konan, even if we can guide people to understand each other like we did with Hanzo, and thus put an end to war, this speed is too slow..."

"My life will come to an end sooner or later. Who else in the ninja world will do the same as us?"

"No one else would want to make everyone in the ninja world understand each other. How far can we achieve it with the guidance of the two of us?"

to be frank.

Nagato did think about giving up this plan.

However, Hanzo of the Salamander mentioned that other major countries in the ninja world have been fighting in the Rain Country, and even he could not solve this problem. Nagato did not think that he had more courage and charisma than Hanzo of the Salamander to make others understand him. His only advantage was the plan of the Akatsuki organization.

Weapons of war.

Collect the tailed beasts, revive the Outer Path Demon Statue, and create the ultimate war weapon!

For the Hidden Rain Village...

Weapons of war must also be manufactured!

“Our plan fits the bill.”

Nagato turned around and mentioned Akihara Kagura: "The plan proposed by our junior fellow apprentice is even more extreme than the war weapon plan. At least our plan is already very mild. It will make the world feel the pain of war instead of destroying the world..."

"That guy... is indeed..."

Konan recalled Akihara Kagura's attitude in front of Jiraiya and sighed, "No wonder he is so confident that there will be no conflict between us and Sensei Jiraiya."

Nagato nodded, but suddenly he felt a little alert in his heart: "No, Kagura has joined the Akatsuki organization. His personality is too extreme. Maybe he wants to use the war weapons we will create in the future to destroy the world..."

"..."

Xiaonan fell silent.

This problem is really a bit of a headache!

It would be fine if weapons of war were in the hands of people who wanted to maintain peace, but if they were really obtained by Akihara Kagura, would that junior brother really not use them to destroy the world?

"He's still very strong."

Nagato thought of Akihara Kagura's terrifying fighting power, and also remembered his age: "He's not even that old at all. I can only hope that Master Jiraiya will teach him well..."

It’s really a bit outrageous.

A member of Akatsuki was even more extreme than him, the leader of Akatsuki. Even the thought of it made Nagato feel a little scared. He had to place his hopes on the guidance of Master Jiraiya, lest that member had evil thoughts and used Akatsuki's war weapons to destroy the world.

"..."

Xiaonan's eyes flickered.

This is an idea for the future.

All along, Konan didn't want to interfere with Nagato's thoughts. Her only hope was that her former companion could live longer.

no doubt.

Akatsuki's plan must be to collect the tailed beasts.

If something like this happened with the Five Great Nations, a battle would definitely ensue, forcing Nagato to use the power of the Rinnegan, thus losing more vitality.

If she wanted to persuade Nagato to give up the idea of ​​collecting tailed beasts to make war weapons, Xiaonan never thought that she could convince him, maybe she could use the little apprentice brother named Kagura...

If that junior fellow disciple's goal was to steal future war weapons and destroy the world, would Nagato not dare to collect the tailed beasts to make war weapons?

"correct."

Nagato looked at Konan who was lost in thought and asked, "Konan, did Orochimaru defect?"

"not yet."

Xiaonan shook her head and continued, "But there is too much ambition and greed in Orochimaru's eyes. He will defect sooner or later. We might as well take this opportunity to expel him..."

“We are still very short-handed.”

Nagato somewhat disapproved of Konan's way of handling the matter.

Although Nagato also understood the danger posed by Orochimaru, he was confident enough to suppress him. There was no need to drive Orochimaru out for such a trivial matter, right?

Just as Nagato was about to continue discussing with Konan, a figure teleported to the side of Tendo Pain, and a voice suddenly appeared in their ears: "Brother Nagato is right. If the news of Akatsuki expelling people gets out, how can we recruit people in the future?"

"Kagura!"

Xiaonan frowned slightly.

"Why are you here?"

Nagato glanced at Akihara Kagura and asked, "Won't Jiraiya-sensei be suspicious of you coming to the Akatsuki base?"

"Are you really Jiraiya-sensei's disciples?"

Akihara Kagura looked at them with some confusion in her eyes.

"..."

Nagato and Konan looked even more confused than he did.

Doesn't what happened tonight prove their identities? Jiraiya-sensei admitted it himself! How come they are not considered Jiraiya-sensei's disciples?

"Since you are Jiraiya-sensei's disciple..."

Akihara Kagura sighed quietly: "Have you forgotten how rich Jiraiya's nightlife is?"

"..."

Nagato's expression suddenly turned awkward.

"..."

Xiaonan's face turned slightly darker.

Apparently, their teacher did behave a little less than solemnly.

Akihara Kagura looked at them with a look of melancholy on her face: "In order to wait for you to meet him, Teacher Jiraiya stayed near the tombstone for too long. I have been wanting to go for a drink..."

"All right."

After Akihara Kagura finished speaking, she brought up the issue of Orochimaru again: "Let's continue talking about Orochimaru. It's really not a good idea to fire someone without Orochimaru knowing about it. It won't sound good if this kind of thing gets out..."

This kind of thing will be scolded to death!

At least if you want to fire Orochimaru, you should give him time to find a new job!

This is because there are not many news platforms in the ninja world. If Akihara Kagura was treated like this, she would definitely disclose everything about this company to prevent others from being cheated!

"good."

Nagato nodded.

"But……"

Xiaonan frowned again.

"So we can't let this matter get out."

Akihara Kagura raised her hand and made a knife gesture, as if she was chopping vegetables and melons: "If we get rid of Orochimaru secretly, he won't be able to spread this matter..."

"..."

Nagato's face darkened.

What on earth is going on in this junior brother's brain?

"..."

Xiaonan's eyes lit up.

This junior brother’s extreme ideas are sometimes quite good!

Originally Nagato thought that Akihara Kagura was on his side, but he didn't expect her to come up with an idea that was even more radical than Konan's!

Nagato looked at Akihara Kagura and sighed, "Come to think of it, aren't you really seeking revenge on Orochimaru for using you as a test subject?"

"I've stopped caring about it a long time ago."

Akihara Kagura shook her head, feeling that Nagato underestimated her own ability. "I am not a narrow-minded person. Orochimaru's disciple Mitarashi Anko also offended me in Konoha. When she was having a hard time, I even found her a part-time tutor job because we knew each other before..."

"..."

Nagato and Konan no longer questioned.

This junior fellow disciple does sound magnanimous.

"never mind."

"Since you are worried that I am taking revenge on Orochimaru, then I will offer another plan. Tell Orochimaru directly that he is a target to attract Jiraiya and me..."

Akihara Kagura was bored and proposed another idea of ​​her own. She continued nonchalantly, "Anyway, the Akatsuki organization isn't full of good people. Orochimaru will definitely understand. Just treat it as a test for him..."

"..."

Nagato and Konan looked at each other.

It seems that there really aren't many good people within the Akatsuki organization...

but……

Would Orochimaru really not be angry in this way?

Last time, they escaped from the Akatsuki base and used Orochimaru as bait, which made Orochimaru very unhappy. This time, they bluntly claimed that they wanted to use Orochimaru as bait to attract Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura...

Orochimaru's mentality...

Will there really be no change?

Akihara Kagura seemed to be able to guess their thoughts and took the initiative to say, "Why not just do this? Tell him directly that he is a bait. Orochimaru is one of the three ninjas of Konoha together with Sensei Jiraiya, so he will definitely not mind such a small matter..."

"alright."

Nagato couldn't think of any other solution.

This method of letting Orochimaru know the truth directly is at least much gentler than killing Orochimaru to silence him or directly expelling him...

The land of wind.

The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Rain are neighboring countries.

However, the climates of these two countries are completely different. The weather in the Rain Country is always gloomy and rainy, while the weather in the Wind Country is always hot and sunny.

The Kingdom of Wind is mostly endless Gobi Desert. The sun in the sky is so hot that it seems to melt people. It is a blessing to have a rock to block the sun.
