Starting as a part-time worker from Naruto

"You've been a tutor for two years."

Akihara Kagura acted like an adult and talked to Mitarashi Anko about the issue of sunk costs: "If you give up now, two years will be wasted. When they graduate successfully in the future, you will be completely free..."

"..."

Mitarashi Anko picked up the chopsticks angrily.

"correct."

Akihara Kagura looked at the still furious Mitarashi Anko and casually mentioned a name that stunned Mitarashi Anko: "I have some interesting news for you. When I was training with Jiraiya, I met Orochimaru. I heard that Orochimaru was your teacher in the past, and your teacher hasn't been doing well recently..."

"..."

Mitarashi Anko put down her chopsticks and slowly narrowed her eyes. She hadn't heard this name for a long time. She whispered, "Orochimaru... When I see him in the future, I will definitely kill him!"

"..."

Jiraiya, who had been standing outside the door, was speechless.

What kind of sin has Orochimaru committed?

"I wish you success."

Akihara Kagura sincerely congratulated Mitarashi Anko, and took this opportunity to teach her: "So you must be sincere when teaching students, otherwise the students will want to kill the teacher when they grow up. If you don't teach Karin and Naruto well, they will take you as an example and want to kill you like you wanted to kill Orochimaru. What should you do?"

"is it?"

Mitarashi Anko looked at the two little brats beside her with a smile.

"I won't kill Sister Anko!"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Anko Mitarashi, who was smiling but had murderous intent on her face, and quickly raised his arm to show his loyalty to the big sister who had been tutoring him!

"I...I don't have such an idea..."

Karin shook her head cautiously and whispered, "If someone wants to kill Teacher Hongdou in the future, I will save you..."

"Karin is so good."

Mitarashi Anko smiled and rubbed Karin's red hair, then patted Uzumaki Naruto's head and pinched his little face: "You little brat want to kill me, but it's a hundred years too early! Next time, you must continue to promise me that you will pass the exam..."

Mitarashi Anko still looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a smile, but a hint of murderous intent was looming: "If your grades go backwards, I will kill you first!"

"I know...I know..."

Uzumaki Naruto stammered out a response.

"What an extreme educational method..."

Jiraiya stood next to Ichiraku Ramen and shook his head helplessly. He did not disturb the gathering of his disciples and old friends, but hid in a place by himself.

It was not until Akihara Kagura finished eating ramen with them and watched Mitarashi Anko leave with Uzumaki Naruto and Karin that they found Jiraiya's location.

Just at this time, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen learned the news that Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura had returned to Konoha, and immediately sent the Anbu to order them to go to the Hokage Building.

The person who came to convey the order was none other than Hatake Kakashi.

After two years, Hatake Kakashi was still wearing a mask when delivering orders, and next to him was a purple-haired female ninja who was also wearing a mask.

Akihara Kagura and Jiraiya were buying pear juice when they saw them, and asked Hatake Kakashi casually: "It's been a long time since we last met, Captain Kakashi, would you like a drink?"

After Akihara Kagura finished asking, she looked at the purple-haired female ninja and continued, "Captain Kakashi, you have new teammates around you. Has my position in the Anbu been cancelled?"

"Akihara Kagura Chuunin."

A female ninja with purple hair wearing a mask seemed to remember Hatake Kakashi's teachings and whispered, "Please don't call the Anbu ninjas by their real names when they are on a mission."

"There's no need to persuade this guy."

Hatake Kakashi reluctantly interrupted his subordinates and looked at Akihara Kagura: "Your ANBU establishment is still there, hurry up and go to the Hokage Building with us first. The Third Hokage has been waiting for you, maybe it's something important."

Hokage Tower.

Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to be older.

This Hokage has been in power for too long, and the recent internal troubles in Konoha have exhausted him. When he saw Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura come in, his mood seemed to improve a little.

"Kagura has grown up a lot..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking a pipe, looking at Akihara Kagura, who had obviously grown up a lot. After casually greeting her, he said, "Kakashi, take Akihara Kagura to learn about the assessment task for the promotion from Chunin to Jonin..."

"Yes."

Hatake Kakashi nodded and took Akihara Kagura out.

"Hey, old man."

Jiraiya looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who seemed to know his teacher very well. He grinned and chuckled, "Are you calling us back so anxiously just to let Kagura be promoted to a jonin? Is the mission level of this little guy high enough?"

"This is a special promotion from the Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen has the power to select his own jonin, and he even has good reasons: "Kagura has made great contributions to the relationship between Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Rock Village. These contributions are enough for the little guy to be promoted to a jonin..."

Whether in times of war or peace, Akihara Kagura's strength and deeds are enough for Konoha to promote him to the position of Jonin.

In other words...

It would be strange if he wasn't promoted!

"Let's get down to business."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya, his eyes became particularly firm: "The Uchiha clan may rebel. Promoting Kagura to become a jonin is of great significance. It will let the Uchiha clan understand that the village leaders have absolute suppression over them in terms of force, and make them realize that their rebellion will not succeed..."

Regarding these things...

Sarutobi Hiruzen could not hide anything from Jiraiya.

Because as long as Jiraiya stayed in the village for two days, he could keenly discover that the atmosphere in the village was not right. Anbu ninjas frequently appeared around the Uchiha clan's territory, and the Uchiha clan's ninjas frequently gathered and even prepared their armaments.

"I should have known I shouldn't have brought Kagura back..."

Jiraiya shook his head and sighed. He didn't want his disciples to become tools and pawns of Konoha's top leaders, especially pawns used to suppress the internal forces.

"Jiraiya."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya and said solemnly: "This is to ensure the peace in the village. I issued a call to both you and Tsunade. Tsunade ignored my letter..."

"This is normal."

Jiraiya understood his old teammate's thoughts very well: "Let Tsunade treat the ninjas in the village as enemies? Tsunade is a medical ninja, there is no way she will agree to you..."

"but……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his disciples and continued in a deep voice: "The village must have an overwhelming force to face the Uchiha who may rebel, in order to promote a peaceful resolution of the problem between Konoha and the Uchiha..."

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was not a person who liked to suppress with force, but he absolutely could not do without force because force was the basis of negotiation.

Konoha has reached a fork in history.

Any power is extremely important to Konoha today. Sarutobi Hiruzen specially recruited his two disciples and many ninjas who were on missions outside.

If there was any mistake, the Uchiha clan's rebellion would cause huge losses and Konoha might be doomed.

It would be best if the Uchiha issue could be resolved peacefully...

If there are no more problems within Konoha by then, and given Konoha's current huge diplomatic advantage, there will be no external war.

Konoha will usher in a long period of complete peace.

“I hope it can be resolved peacefully!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood by the window, sighed softly, and ordered: "Don't leave Konoha for the time being, Jiraiya..."

"Forget it, I'm not interested!"

Jiraiya shook his head and frowned, "It's enough to let Kagura stay in Konoha. I have completed the task you gave me well. That little guy has already learned the fairy technique!"

"Oh?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up.

If that's the case, then that little guy Akihara Kagura can learn the more powerful magic techniques left behind by the first Hokage!

Thus……

Konoha will be more confident in solving the Uchiha clan's problems!

Even if the Uchiha clan really decides to rebel, there are still hidden Mangekyō Sharingan within the clan, and there are people in the village who can fight against them!

If the Uchiha clan really spared no expense and secretly captured the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, the Fourth Mizukage Karuta Yagura, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto, who lived in Konoha, then Akihara Kagura would have learned the fairy arts left behind by the First Hokage, which would be enough to solve these troubles!

Chapter 147 New superiors, new characteristics, light and shadow!

In a secret room.

This is where the Konoha jonin squad gathers.

The Konoha Jonin Class has great power, as they are the real high-level power of Konoha, and even whether the Hokage can succeed requires a vote of confidence from the Jonins.

The squad leader of Konoha's Jounin Squad is named Nara Shikaku, a ninja with an extremely high IQ. He is known as Konoha's genius military strategist and is always able to come up with the best strategies when encountering problems.

The squad leader of the Jonin squad sat in front of a desk. When he saw Hatake Kakashi and Akihara Kagura walk in, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Nara Shikaku is a smart ninja. He is very clear about the current situation of Konoha and understands why Sarutobi Hiruzen promoted Akihara Kagura to the rank of Jonin.

"Is there no place to sit?"

After Akihara Kagura came in, she frowned.

There is only a set of desk and chair in the room now, and Nara Shikaku is sitting there, looking like he is conducting an investigation. It seems that those who come to be investigated can only stand.

"..."

This is a real thorn!

Nara Shikaku couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't want to use his status and rules and regulations to pressure others, so as not to cause displeasure to the other party.

Compared to ninjas from other families, the Nara clan can be said to be a symbol of wisdom. Even in normal times, as long as they can achieve their goals, they will deliberately leave a way out for their competitors, not to mention a true Wood Release genius.

"Hey Hey hey……"

Hatake Kakashi once again sensed the trouble with Akihara Kagura, and sighed faintly, "You are the one taking the test..."

"You can sit here with me."

Nara Shikaku actually took the initiative to pick up the folder on the table, stood up with a pen in his hand, and wanted to give his seat to Akihara Kagura.

"never mind."

Akihara Kagura shook her head, still feeling a little weird: "Sitting there, it looks like I'm about to be investigated for some fault..."

"It's just a normal questioning."

Nara Shikaku was extremely polite, as if he had known Akihara Kagura's character for a long time. He smiled and explained, "This is a necessary conversation for the ninjas in the village before they are promoted to Jonin. I may need to ask some questions to determine whether you can be promoted to Jonin..."

"It's a test..."

Akihara Kagura seemed to sense some malicious intent, and waved her hand to leave: "This is too much trouble, so I might as well choose not to be promoted."

“I can choose not to ask.”

Nara Shikaku immediately added a sentence. His bottom line was very flexible. He even started writing his comments on the paper in front of him. He did not allow Akihara Kagura to refute him at all. He smiled sincerely and congratulated Akihara Kagura on her promotion.

"Congratulations on your promotion to jonin."

"Now you can go and re-register your ninja information."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake watched the whole scene and recalled that when he was promoted to a jonin at the age of twelve during the war years, it was not as outrageous as today.

"Thank you."

Akihara Kagura glanced at Nara Shikaku.

[System prompt]: [You have a new superior (Nara Shikaku), who will reward you with a gift package for new employees and unlock new features! ]

[Light and Shadow (When light appears, someone blocks the light, and a shadow appears, like a reflection of another world. The host can freely travel through the world in the shadow and can control the enemy's shadow to fight.)]

This feature is quite useful.

For Akihara Kagura, she can launch stealth attacks through shadows and control the enemy's shadows to use the enemy as puppets.

To put it bluntly...
