Starting as a part-time worker from Naruto

Danzo Shimura, the old man who had been working hard to return to power, now had to stay at home and grow flowers and drink tea. Although there were still some ninjas loyal to him in the Root, they did not dare to come to pay them a visit due to the strength of the new leader.

fortunately.

Shimura Danzo also has some friends.

Danzo Shimura had more free time, and from time to time he would invite Koharu Utatane and En Mitokado to contact these two Hokage advisors who could still exert influence, and by the way, get some information from them and seek opportunities for his comeback.

exactly.

Mizutomon En brought good news.

"After the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Karutagi Yagura, was controlled by Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan again, he returned to the village and chose to commit suicide..."

"The Hidden Mist Village hopes to form a joint ninja hunting team with Konoha to jointly investigate the intelligence of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito. I recommended you to Sarutobi..."

"Oh?"

Shimura Danzo's eyes flashed, and he quickly lowered his head, pretending to be nonchalant: "The monkey definitely didn't agree. He still resents me for taking the initiative in the Uchiha clan's affairs. Obviously, I am also considering Konoha and don't want him to make a difficult decision..."

"yes……"

Mitomon En nodded and continued, "That little guy Akihara Kagura also supports your comeback, and even plans to hand over some of the ninjas who are still loyal to you to you, Danzo, it seems that your influence is still great..."

"Humph, that little brat..."

Shimura Danzo still looked down on Akihara Kagura and said in a cold voice, "That brat has been eyeing my position and has long wanted to change the Root, but he doesn't understand the significance of the Root's existence in Konoha. Now that he's been beaten to a pulp, he's thinking of me?"

That was the root that I had spent decades to build!

How could the Root ninjas actually be loyal to him!

Danzo Shimura is very familiar with some shady tricks, and he does not hesitate to speculate about Akihara Kagura with malicious intent. That kid must want to take the opportunity to kick out the members of the Root. After all, he has the Konoha Orphanage behind him and can pick out reserve forces from the orphanage!

but……

This is beneficial to Danzo!

Because this will be his chance to make a comeback!

As long as he can make a comeback, he may have the opportunity to regain power in the future!

"pity……"

Shimura Danzo took a sip of tea, slowly put it down, sighed and said: "This year I am already over sixty years old. As a ninja, my dream should be to die on the battlefield, not to die at home..."

"I understand your idea."

Mitomon En looked at his old friend and said seriously, "If you want to join the joint pursuit ninja force formed by the Hidden Mist Village and Konoha, I can fully recommend you to Sarutobi. Your experience and qualifications are enough to serve as the captain of this pursuit ninja force..."

"If it was that young man Kakashi who represented Konoha, and the Hidden Mist Village sent someone with more experience, perhaps the captain of this pursuit ninja force would fall on the head of the Hidden Mist Ninja; if it was you, there should be no one more suitable to be the captain than you..."

This is also the reason why Mito Kado En was willing to recommend Shimura Danzo.

Although Kakashi Hatake, who was considered by Sarutobi Hiruzen, was also suitable, in the eyes of Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, Kakashi Hatake was too young after all.

If the Hidden Mist Village sent someone with more experience, when the two villages discussed the leadership candidate in the future, this joint pursuit ninja force might be led by the Hidden Mist Village...

In this case...

The ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village lead this pursuit ninja force. They will definitely put the reputation and interests of the Hidden Mist Village first in everything, which will inevitably damage the interests of Konoha.

The two advisory elders, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, always prioritize the interests of Konoha when doing things and do not want to see this situation happen.

exactly.

They also have a suitable candidate.

They are old friends of Danzo Shimura, and they know that this old friend is unwilling to be lonely, so they simply take the opportunity to recommend him, and also give Danzo Shimura a chance to return to the top level in the future.

During this period, Sarutobi Hiruzen always believed that the ninjas in the village would be dissatisfied with Shimura Danzo, so he let Shimura Danzo take this opportunity to go out and perform the mission and hide.

In fact.

When the entire Konoha high-level leadership is united, things are still very easy to accomplish. Sarutobi Hiruzen was also somewhat moved by Mito Kado En's lobbying, and Akihara Kagura had no objection and was even willing to provide support.

Anyway...

This is all beneficial to Konoha.

It is indeed more appropriate for Danzo Shimura to hold the power of this joint pursuit ninja force than for a Kirigakure ninja to serve as the captain of the pursuit ninja force, especially since one of the people they are tracking is a Konoha spy. At least if Danzo Shimura serves as the captain of the pursuit ninja force, there will be no accidental injuries.

"Then let Danzo be the representative of Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally made a final decision and turned to look at Akihara Kagura: "Kagura will select a group of ninjas from the Root to form the members of the Joint Ninja Pursuit Force."

"Yes."

Akihara Kagura had no objection and continued to propose the impossible: "If necessary, I can also join the pursuit ninja team..."

"No."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected Akihara Kagura's idea.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to send Danzo Shimura out to carry out the mission, and also to prevent Danzo Shimura from staying in the village and continuing to contact Akihara Kagura in the name of the founder of Root.

root base.

Akihara Kagura summoned two of his personal guards.

During this period of time, Yamanaka Fuu has been using the Root machine to help Akihara Kagura try to free the Root Ninjas from Shimura Danzo's brainwashing control. However, in addition to the machines, the Root Ninjas are more accustomed to being loyal to Danzo.

Shan Zhongfeng was worried that his work efficiency was not high enough, which made his boss Akihara Kagura dissatisfied, or that he doubted whether he was still loyal to Shimura Danzo...

"I'm thinking about a question."

Akihara Kagura looked at Yamanaka Kaze and Aburame Tone and asked softly, "If Danzo-sama betrays the Root and the village in order to regain power, will you continue to be loyal to him?"

"Of course it's Kagura-sama."

Aburame Torigane knelt on one knee.

The Aburame clan has always been very smart, and even though they have a low sense of presence, they never go the wrong way when it comes to important matters.

"..."

Shan Zhongfeng quickly followed Aburame Toune.

Although Yamanaka Feng is older than Aburame Qugen, he knows how smart Aburame Qugen is. The Yamanaka clan has always been good friends with smart people.

"I didn't ask you whether you were loyal to me..."

Akihara Kagura clasped her palms together and looked deeply at Aburame Torigane: "Torigane, is there something wrong with your answer?"

"Loyalty to Master Kagura means loyalty to the Root and the village."

Aburame Tone does not deny her mistakes, nor does she admit them.

"Where's Danzo-sama?"

Akihara Kagura asked again.

"To be loyal to Master Kagura is to be loyal to Master Danzo."

The words spoken by Aburame Tsuchiya were totally inconsistent with his age. He didn't look like a person who had never been to school at all.

"me too."

Shan Zhongfeng quickly followed up.

“Smart people always follow other smart people and do smart things.”

Akihara Kagura chuckled, praised his two subordinates in one sentence, and talked about serious matters: "The Hidden Mist Village and Konoha are about to form a joint ninja hunting team to hunt down Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito. Lord Danzo has been determined to be the representative of Konoha Village. He will transfer a group of people from the Root..."

"that time……"

"There should be many ninjas loyal to Danzo who will choose to follow him."

"..."

Aburame Tone lowered her head and didn't look at Akihara Kagura. She took the initiative to ask: "Lord Kagura, do you need us to kill those people?"

"Qu Gen, you are too extreme."

Akihara Kagura shook her head, feeling that her subordinates were too extreme: "You can be gentler in the future. At that time, you and Feng will follow them and choose to follow Danzo-sama. Help me monitor Danzo-sama's every move. With your strength, you will definitely be able to become Danzo-sama's close followers and even influence Danzo-sama's decision. Anyway, you have already learned the solution to remove the Tongue Eradication Seal. When the time comes, find a way to make a fake seal on your tongue to avoid being discovered by Danzo-sama and making him sad..."

"Yes."

Aburame Tone nodded and agreed.

As a smart man, Aburame Tone would not ask why. He could understand that Akihara Kagura must be afraid of his old boss Shimura Danzo, so it was normal for him to pretend to follow Shimura Danzo to monitor him.

"Yes!"

Shan Zhongfeng quickly nodded.

As a person who thinks he is not smart enough, Shan Zhongfeng believes that it is better to just follow smart people and there is no need to ask anything.

"I'll send someone to contact you."

Akihara Kagura waved her hand and signaled them to leave.

"Ah Wei, stay with them from now on."

Akihara Kagura softly summoned White Zetsu Ah Wei and instructed: "If they show signs of betrayal, tell me; if they don't betray, protect their safety in secret and monitor Shimura Danzo at the same time."

"I understand."

White Zetsu Awei nodded and continued, "Young man, should we tell Obito about Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village forming a ninja hunting team, so that he won't suspect us?"

"Of course."

Akihara Kagura's eyes dimmed slightly, and she sighed softly: "Although Obito has always been mean to us, he is still our superior after all..."

Chapter 163: Could you, Konoha, send Akihara Kagura instead of just an old man?

Shimura Danzo is very efficient.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen made the appointment, Danzo Shimura immediately became energized and rushed to the Root base, demanding that Akihara Kagura hand over all the Root ninjas to his command.

"Lord Danzo."

Akihara Kagura was not very satisfied and frowned as she said, "This is not in line with the results of the Hokage Building meeting. I can only hand over a group of people to you..."

"How about this."

Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo and took the initiative to suggest: "As long as there are people willing to follow you, how about making them your subordinates?"

"Oh?"

Shimura Danzo narrowed his eyes and stared at Akihara Kagura, and agreed nonchalantly: "A little kid who hasn't grown up yet cannot have leadership charisma. I wanted to save some face for you, but you'd better not feel too humiliated later..."

as predicted.

Just as Danzo Shimura had expected, Kagura Akihara summoned all the Root ninjas and let them choose whether to stay in the Root or join Danzo Shimura's army.

Shimura Danzo's dominance over the Root still exists, and most of the Root ninjas chose to join Shimura Danzo's army, which made Shimura Danzo very proud.

"Mountain Wind."

Akihara Kagura looked back at Yamanaka Feng behind him and asked, "If I remember correctly, I have always asked you to be responsible for removing Danzo's brainwashing control over the Root Ninjas. What is going on now..."

Akihara Kagura looked deeply at Shimura Danzo, and then looked at Yamanaka Feng: "Yanaka Feng, you actually didn't do anything during this period of time, right?"

"I'm sorry..."

A drop of cold sweat appeared on Shan Zhongfeng's forehead.

Shan Zhongfeng felt that his brain was not enough.

"It's probably because everyone wants to be loyal to Danzo-sama more!"

Aburame Tone took the initiative to answer on behalf of Yamanaka Fuu, and asked softly: "Lord Kagura, according to the agreement between you and Danzo, can Fuu and I also choose to join Danzo's army?"

"Will you also join the army of Danzo-sama?"

Akihara Kagura frowned and slowly stretched out his hand. A wooden thorn came out of his hand, and he seemed to have a murderous intention: "Qu Gen, you are my personal guards. You should understand what personal guards mean, right?"

"They are also Root ninjas."

Shimura Danzo stepped forward, patted Akihara Kagura on the shoulder, and signaled him to put away his murderous intentions towards Aburame Tone: "Don't be so extreme. According to our agreement, Tone and Fu should also be reassigned to my command."

"From today on..."

Shimura Danzo looked at Yamanaka Fuu and Aburame Tone, and took the initiative to take charge of the conflict between them and Akihara Kagura: "Fuu, Tone, you two are my personal guards now."
