Part Time Employee in Konoha (Completed)

Aburame Tatsuma has an illusion.

Even though Akihara Kagura is just a new recruit to the Root organization, he feels like the boy speaks as if he is a leader in charge of personnel for the Root organization.

Himself...

Instead, feels like the new recruit coming for a job interview?

Aburame Tatsuma thinks there's something off about this exchange.

After pondering for a while, Aburame Tatsuma realizes he can't answer the questions posed by Akihara Kagura, nor can he interpret the Will of Root.

Unable to solve the problem...

He can only deal with the person who poses the problem.

Aburame Tatsuma simply refuses to entangle with Akihara Kagura and coldly says, "Kid, the affairs of your senpais are none of your business, just take care of your own issues."

"I just don't quite understand what the Will of Root represents."

Akihara Kagura looks at Aburame Tatsuma and poses a question, "With no past and no future, then what is my life?"

"Mission."

Aburame Tatsuma quickly answers the question: "You just need to focus on your mission, there's no need to ponder what your life is…"

"Then tell me…"

Akihara Kagura poses a philosophical question: "The tasks I will do in the future will become the past, then do past tasks have meaning? Do the tasks I have yet to do in the future have any meaning?"

"..."

Aburame Tatsuma falls silent.

This ninja from the Aburame clan understood the philosophical pondering posed by Akihara Kagura but eventually decided to choose the simplest way of handling it: "You just need to focus on your mission, there's no need to think about whether your tasks have any meaning…"

"..."

Akihara Kagura can't help but admire the others a bit.

"A…"

Aburame Tatsuma, fearing that this young man would pose another strange philosophical question, intends to completely cut off these messy thoughts with his words.

"You are a member of Root…"

"There's no need to think about these questions."

"What you need to do is to forget your name, your emotions, your past, your future, and just carry out the tasks given to you by Lord Danzo!"

"Okay, okay, I got it…"

Akihara Kagura nonchalantly agrees.

"I hope you can do it…"

Just as Aburame Tatsuma thought he had finally taken care of the trouble, a fist suddenly smashed into his abdomen, slamming him hard against the wall!

"I understand all that," said the young Akihara Kagura, twisting his wrist, his voice cold: "But... Aburame Tatsuma, who allowed you to call me by that name?"

"What..."

Blood spurted from Aburame Tatsuma's astonished face.

Whether from the standpoint of identity, strength, or even logic, Aburame Tatsuma couldn't figure out why this newcomer would ambush him?

Most importantly...

This kid's strength was enormous, and his speed was shockingly fast! Akihara Kagura's physical abilities were extraordinarily astounding, and Aburame Tatsuma didn't realize that Orochimaru relied on the Curse Mark to bind Akihara Kagura to avoid the young man's ambush.

Aburame Tatsuma, a Jonin ninja, was caught off guard and critically injured by the young man's ambush, his internal organs were even smashed!

"That name was given to me by Lord Danzo," Akihara Kagura said, walking up to the heavily injured Aburame Tatsuma, coldly explaining the reason for his ambush.

"From today onwards, remember this!"

"In this world..."

"Only Lord Danzo is allowed to call me by that name!"

"..."

Aburame Tatsuma could not understand the young man's line of thinking.

This kid...

Must be somewhat off!

Aburame Tatsuma spat out another mouthful of blood and said, "That's just a code name, and the only one you'll be able to use in the future..."

"But not one you can call."

Akihara Kagura shook his head, seemingly pondering for a while, and said, "If you come looking for me later, call me by the name I used in the past, after all, it's not like we haven't used past names before..."

"I understand... wait, that's not quite right..."

Aburame Tatsuma, looking at the young man standing beside him, decided not to be swayed by the young man's way of thinking and gradually began to think normally, 'This kid is still too arrogant, perhaps Orochimaru spoiled him too much before…'

Aburame Tatsuma slowly struggled to fall off the wall, clutching his severely pained abdomen, enduring the pain and said: "The newcomer... indeed needs... a lesson..."

A swarm of black bugs crawled out of his mouth!

This scene looked somewhat terrifying and scary!

This is a secret technique from the Aburame clan of Konoha, nurturing insects within the body and using them in battle.

"Kid, it's better to respect your senpais!"

Aburame Tatsuma controlled the insects to quickly entangle Akihara Kagura!

"..."

Akihara Kagura's face changed slightly.

Even small insects, when densely packed, can feel quite unnerving, let alone these strange species from the ninja world!

However...

Insects are just insects...

Pitifully slow...

Akihara Kagura stepped forward, swiftly evading the insects, and lunged toward Aburame Tatsuma, well aware of his frail body!

Boom!

The young man fist hit Aburame Tatsuma again!

This time, however, the feeling of the punch was light, almost like hitting air. And indeed it was, as Aburame Tatsuma's body instantly turned into a swarm of insects...

"Is this...insect clone?"

Akihara Kagura involuntarily widened his eyes.

"Secret Technique: Insect Sphere!"

In the blink of an eye, the swarm of insects completely surrounded Akihara Kagura's body, frenziedly biting at the chakra inside him!

Akihara Kagura was shrouded in a mist of insects, as if wrapped in a layer of black cloth. Aburame Tatsuma's real body slowly appeared, looking at the kid surrounded by his insects, and started to mockingly educate the newcomer.

"Kid..."

"Don't be scared of the insects..."

"As soon as I released the insects, I secretly created an insect clone..."

"Based on what I know about your age, at the start of a fight you'll only attack my body with fists and also don't know a lot of ninjutsu."

"Now..."

"Be a good boy..."

Aburame Tatsuma spread his hands, seemingly satisfied with the first lesson he provided to the newcomer: "The parasitic insects will soon devour all the chakra in your body..."

"Then tell your insects to work harder..."

Akihara Kagura's voice came out from the mist of insects, saying, "Aburame Tatsuma, haven't you ever fed them enough?"

"What's going on?"

Aburame Tatsuma furrowed his brows in surprise.

"This kid hasn't lost his ability to resist?"

"This kid's chakra...isn't it a bit too abundant!"

What surprised Aburame Tatsuma the most was that this kid's mental strength was too strong, not even slightly afraid of these dense insects!

"This is such a waste of time…"

Akihara Kagura extended his arm, watching some of the overfed insects fall off his body and spoke leisurely to conclude.

"Insects are just insects after all…"

"Insects should live hidden in corners…"

"Not arrogantly think that by sheer numbers, they can take down an enemy whose strength they can't even begin to imagine…"
