Part Time Employee in Konoha (Completed)

Kabuto was somewhat puzzled.

After all, he had never seen such an arrogant root ninja before.

Akihara Kagura was really a bit surprising. He had just been saying that he had to obey the will of the root, but why did his actions seem to completely disregard the will of the root?

On one hand, he spoke of being forced to forget his name within the root organization...

On the other hand, because a root ninja addressed him by his code name, instead of his real name, he simply and decisively attacked his colleague...

"Lo-Lord… Kagura"

Kabuto hesitated but still respectfully addressed him, cautiously asking, "How is your life at the root... okay?"

"It's okay."

Akihara Kagura felt that his life was alright.

Akihara Kagura had been in the root base for nearly half a month, and basically, there were no mistakes, and he got along well with his colleagues.

Even if Akihara Kagura made a little mistake, the other root ninjas didn't really have the standing to tattle to Shimura Danzo in front of him, or to put it another way, tattling to Shimura Danzo was useless, and Danzo wouldn't scold Kagura for such a trivial matter.

After all...

Akihara Kagura spoke up for the sake of Lord Danzo.

Of course.

Akihara Kagura was doing okay.

The other members were not doing so well.

A few days ago, finally, a root ninja made a complaint, claiming that Akihara Kagura refused to obey their orders, had an extremely arrogant attitude when receiving orders, and even questioned whether the root members were conveying false orders...

As a result...

Akihara Kagura became even more arrogant.

"What if you are conveying orders in Lord Danzo's name falsely?"

"I will only listen to Lord Danzo, it must be an order that I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears directly from Lord Danzo."

"..."

Shimura Danzo was indeed a bit uncomfortable.

However, most members of the root wouldn't lie to Shimura Danzo, so they expressed Akihara Kagura's attitude of being loyal only to Shimura Danzo truthfully...

Loyalty spoken by others is obviously more credible than loyalty spoken by oneself, which made Shimura Danzo feel that it wasn't so bad after all.

Akihara Kagura is just a child with a stubborn personality. He doesn't have high demands, just hoping to personally execute the orders he gives...

But...

If this child only listens to himself...

It seems that this can also prevent the risk of this exceptionally talented Wood Release ninja being deceived and betraying himself, turning him into a blade that belongs only to him.

So...

Shimura Danzo gradually acquiesced to all this.

Who would refuse a person who only wants to be loyal to themselves?

"Let's go."

"Let's meet Lord Danzo."

Akihara Kagura looked at the Root ninja who was hung up, "If I find out you're lying, I will execute you immediately!"

"How dare I forge Lord Danzo's orders…"

This Root ninja felt humiliated and somewhat annoyed, "Never doubt the will of the Root, nor doubt our loyalty to Lord Danzo, kid. It's not only you who is loyally devoted to Lord Danzo…"

"I know, but I still don't believe it."

Akihara Kagura interrupted him, saying carelessly, "You're all just a bunch of guys who bother Lord Danzo, only reporting trivial conflicts among us to him…"

"You!"

This Root ninja felt infuriated!

For a long time, the Root ninjas thought they had been very tolerant of this kid, but this kid kept provoking their already insensitive nerves...

'...'

Kabuto stood by, somewhat stunned.

This boy seemed just like him, a forced orphan recruit into the Root organization, but how could he treat his colleagues in the Root organization so arrogantly?

However...

Kabuto quickly realized he was still too young.

At the Root base.

When Akihara Kagura returned with Kabuto, two guards stationed at the entrance of the base coldly turned their faces away, seemingly unwilling to pay attention to Akihara Kagura.

"Do you recognize him?"

Akihara Kagura stopped at the entrance, pointing to Kabuto beside him.

"..."

The two gatekeepers still did not want to pay attention to him.

"..."

Akihara Kagura didn't mind the attitude of these two people and continued indifferently: "Notify everyone, from now on, no one is allowed to bully him."

"...Understood."

The two gatekeepers still responded in a muffled voice.

"Uh."

Kabuto was somewhat at a loss and spoke softly: "Actually, it's not like anyone bullied me, I've always been out on missions..."

"You don't understand."

Akihara Kagura, acting as if he knew very well, started to criticize his colleagues: "These guys just think about suppressing and bullying their colleagues. If you resist them, they will snitch on you to Lord Danzo, they are all utterly despicable."

"..."

The two gatekeepers couldn't help but want to curse.

What nonsense is this kid talking about? Isn't it the other way around?

Who has been bullying whom all this time? How many people in the Root organization have not been deliberately bullied by this kid?

"I see they don't seem to dare to bully you..."

Kabuto, looking at the two gatekeepers trembling with anger due to Akihara Kagura, curiously asked: "How did you manage to make them not dare to bully you?"

"Very simple."

Akihara Kagura looked at the two gatekeepers, his face showing a smug expression: "As long as you bully them first, they won't dare to bully you."

"..."

What a ridiculous method!

Kabuto felt completely overwhelmed!

However, it seems that Akihara Kagura's method really works a bit. Every root ninja they pass by subconsciously avoids them.

"Do you know Kabuto?"

Akihara Kagura even provokes actively, in front of these root ninjas, acting as if Kabuto is his man: "Come over and take a look, remember this, and don't bully him in the future."

Akihara Kagura even grabbed a root ninja who didn't want to look at them: "Did you leave your ears in the dormitory? Can't hear me speaking? Take off your mask!"

"You kid, don't go too far!"

The root ninja took off his mask, his face full of anger.

"What did you call me?"

Akihara Kagura's eyes brightened.

"I…"

The other party thought for less than a second and chose not to argue with a child: "Lord Kagura, I must leave the base immediately to carry out a mission."

"Remember him well."

Akihara Kagura pointed to Kabuto next to him and instructed: "When you are on missions, take good care of him if you meet him."

"I will take good care of him…"

This root ninja looked at Kabuto and nodded, his expression a bit gritted.

Kabuto, looking at the other's expression, couldn't help but want to sigh.

Although Kabuto was very grateful for Akihara Kagura's intention to take care of him, he understood that Kagura's behavior would only bring him more trouble...

How could he establish himself in the root organization?

Originally, he might just be bullied, but now he might be secretly assassinated...

Akihara Kagura seemed not to understand this, just looking at Kabuto with joy: "Kabuto, they have all promised, they will take good care of you when they meet you, you will definitely be able to survive and see the Dean!"

"Lord Kagura…"

Kabuto suddenly stopped, quietly looking at the seemingly naive boy, and pushed his glasses: "Are you doing this on purpose? What is your real intention?"

"What do you mean on purpose or not… What other intentions can I have?"

Akihara Kagura waved his hand in disgust towards Kabuto, seemingly indifferent: "Do you think you can help me with anything? I just want to thank you for the help you will give me in the future…"
