Chapter 22: Chapter 22: The Cruel Plan
Kabuto's mood was somewhat turbulent.
Because he never thought he would receive such gentle love.
From the mouth of this young man, whose expression was full of hatred and jealousy, Kabuto had already received too much information, and his heart yearned even more for the Dean, who cared for him like a mother and was willing to give everything for him.
However...
Now was not the time for emotional turbulence.
What was most important now was to find out the young man's plan for revenge.
Only by learning about Akihara Kagura's plan for revenge, could there be hope to resolve the crisis that he and the Dean were about to face.
According to the information, Shimura Danzo was definitely planning to kill the Dean, and the young man Akihara Kagura was just involved.
If he could persuade the young man to give up those plans for revenge and join him in protecting the dean, that would be ideal.
While frowning and thinking, Kabuto tried to probe Akihara Kagura: "You've never met Dean, have you? Maybe it's because you left the orphanage too long ago?"
Kabuto seemed to find a direction and said: "There is another possibility, Lord Danzo secretly deceived Dean, telling the dean that you had already died long ago."
"Kagura, we are all children from the orphanage, we all understand the care of Dean, Dean would never abandon a child without reason."
"..."
This guy makes sense! If Akihara Kagura really was someone from the Konoha Orphanage, he felt that what Kabuto said was somewhat accurate. A few more words and he could be persuaded by Kabuto...
Unfortunately.
Akihara Kagura didn't want to play a villain who could be persuaded by others.
Akihara Kagura only wanted to play a child who had gone astray and could not turn back!
"Shut up!"
Akihara Kagura's palm suddenly reached out and grabbed Kabuto's neck!
The young man's eyes suddenly became fierce, pressing Kabuto against the wall, and said in a low voice, "Kabuto, do not disrespect Lord Danzo, or I will kill you right now!"
The young man looked contemptuously at Kabuto, who was powerless in his hands, and then slowly let go of him: "Hmph, I knew I should have killed you back at the training ground..."
"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."
Kabuto lowered his head and coughed forcefully a few times, his eyes flickering slightly and said, "Then why didn't you kill me? Lord Danzo probably wouldn't blame you."
"That would be letting you off too easily."
A photo sparked from the fingertips of Akihara Kagura, displaying the appearance of Kabuto, the very one that Akihara Kagura had seized in the training ground.
"Want to guess what I'm going to do?"
"This is your photo, the real you."
"Unfortunately, the Dean doesn't know who the person in the photo is. She only believes that this is an impostor of Kabuto, so she will only think you are a stranger."
Akihara Kagura twirled the photo with his fingers, casually speaking his plan: "I just need to deliver this photo to the Dean and under the name of Lord Danzo, order her to kill the person in the photo, and agree to let you leave the Root organization…"
"..."
Kabuto's face changed color.
Seeing the change in Kabuto's face, Akihara Kagura's smile deepened: "Only after our most respected Dean kills you will she realize the whole truth…"
"She will know that the person she killed with her own hands is the real Kabuto, the one she has always been concerned about!"
"..."
Kabuto's face turned pale.
Anyone would know what kind of blow this would deal to Yakushi Nono. Perhaps after she kills Kabuto, she might commit suicide!
It was a cruel plot.
In his past life memories, Akihara Kagura remembered that this fratricidal case was personally planned by Danzo, hoping for both Kabuto and Yakushi Nono to perish together. Unfortunately, the plan went awry.
Yakushi Nono did not recognize Kabuto. When she desperately tried to kill him, she was critically injured by a counterattack from Kabuto. With extraordinary learning abilities, Kabuto's combat strength far surpassed that of a regular medical ninja like Yakushi Nono.
However...
Kabuto recognized the Dean.
As Kabuto desperately tried to save the Dead, Yakushi Nono, but due to the fake photo, did not recognize him and treated him as a stranger. This dealt a great blow to Kabuto, making him feel his life was meaningless.
Now…
Akihara Kagura told Kabuto the truth about the self-destructive massacre in advance, even adding a bit of his own drama to it, creating a new and important bond between himself, Kabuto, and Yakushi Nono.
This way...
In the future, he would have the opportunity to use Kabuto.
Even if these lies are exposed, it doesn't matter. Akihara Kagura could simply confess and admit that he also saved Kabuto and Yakushi Nono...
According to memories from a past life, Kabuto is not an ungrateful person!
"My plan is all laid out to you."
Akihara Kagura patted Kabuto on the shoulder and continued with a smile, "Making someone kill the person they care about the most will definitely cause them pain, right?"
"You're telling me..."
Kabuto clenched his teeth in anger, staring at the young man in front of him, "You're telling me all this, aren't you afraid your plan will fail? I could explain the truth to the dean..."
"It doesn't matter."
Akihara Kagura spread his hands in a confident manner, "If you successfully recognize each other, she will be very happy to see you, right?"
"Then, after you tell her all the truth, at her happiest moment, I will kill you myself. After all, I just want her to taste the bitterness of pain."
Akihara Kagura didn't really care about these things and rarely spoke the truth, "I just need the result I want, the process leading to it doesn't matter."
"Kabuto."
"The moment I knew about you, your fate was already sealed."
...
Kabuto slowly bowed his head.
It must be admitted that Akihara Kagura indeed should have this confidence.
According to Kabuto's observation, all members of the Root organization were afraid to speak out under the threat of Akihara Kagura, proving that Kagura's strength should not be underestimated.
Moreover...
There was also the mysterious and unpredictable Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
However, if the young man before him was confident in killing him, then he and the Dean, Yakushi Nono might still have a chance to survive!
"Let's go."
"We'll go see Lord Danzo first."
Akihara Kagura took the lead towards the depths of the Root organization's base, casually warning as he spoke: "You better not talk too much in front of Lord Danzo, and don't show any disrespect, or Lord Danzo might have me kill you on the spot..."
"..."
Kabuto bowed his head in silence.
Of course, Kabuto wouldn't do anything unnecessary.
Now, Kabuto was very clear that what he needed most was to keep a low profile, find a way to meet with Dean as soon as possible, and tell the Dean about Akihara Kagura's story.
If possible, Kabuto hoped that the Dean and Akihara Kagura, the abandoned child, could resolve their misunderstanding and increase their chances of survival in the future.
