The mysterious masked man was a bit baffled.
"Why is Akihara Kagura's way of thinking so strange?"
Normally, when people are wrongfully accused, they try to defend themselves vigorously, and when they find themselves in a situation where they cannot vindicate themselves, they are forced to flee. But why is this Akihara Kagura taking the blame?
"Zetzu, follow them and see."
The mysterious masked man could only let the pitcher plant monster sneak underground to investigate what exactly was going on and why the plan to force Akihara Kagura to flee had gone awry.
"Okay."
The pitcher plant monster immediately sank down.
After this creature named "Zetzu" infiltrated underground, it followed a group of people to the root base and secretly hid underground, eavesdropping on the conversation between Akihara Kagura and Shimura Danzo.
At the root base.
When Shimura Danzo first saw the body of Aburame Tatsuma, he was furious at Akihara Kagura's audacity and immediately wanted to capture this kid to teach him a lesson.
Now, Akihara Kagura stood in front of him, even looking as if killing Aburame Tatsuma was a matter of course, as if he had done nothing wrong.
"Why did you kill Tatsuma?"
"I didn't like him when I was in the root, and he even mocked me for being kicked out of the base, even taunting me and saying that I was a traitor... I just wanted to teach him a lesson, but he insulted me as a traitor, and I killed him with one move."
"..."
Shimura Danzo fell silent.
What was going on with this Aburame Tatsuma?
Returning to the village without investigating the situation and mocking Akihara Kagura?
Shimura Danzo expelled Akihara Kagura from the root not because Akihara Kagura betrayed him, but because Akihara Kagura was taken away by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he could no longer trust Akihara Kagura as before. However, this kid was still a usable tool.
"You are too extreme!"
Shimura Danzo took a deep breath, suppressed his annoyance, and continued to scold: "I have long ordered you not to kill people at will in the village!"
"It's just Aburame Tatsuma..."
"It's not other people in the village, Lord Danzo can definitely deal with it..."
Akihara Kagura frowned and pointed to two gatekeepers of the root base: "When those two guys kicked me out, I also wanted to kill them, but I was worried about upsetting Lord Danzo and being completely abandoned by Lord Danzo..."
"Hmph!"
"You still know the severity..."
"You still know to let me deal with the trouble you caused..."
Shimura Danzo clenched his cane and said in a deep voice, "Luckily you threw Tatsuma's body into the root base. Once the Anbu finds Tatsuma's body…"
That would be a big trouble!
Luckily.
The person Akihara Kagura killed was from the root organization.
If Akihara Kagura had killed other ninjas in the village, Shimura Danzo would have had to negotiate with others, and it would have been difficult to cover up for this kid!
It seems like something is not quite right...
But Shimura Danzo felt as if there was nothing wrong.
Forget it.
The most important thing now is to make this kid change his fondness for killing. At least he must not kill people in the village indiscriminately!
This damn kid!
He is a sharp weapon, yet before he could use it to attack the enemy, he is hurt by the weapon in his own hand.
"You are joining the Anbu, you must not kill your colleagues at will!"
Shimura Danzo could only suppress his annoyance and coldly reprimanded: "Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a good person, he won't cover for you like I do!"
"Can I kill that traitor called Tenzo and Kakashi? What if they mock me for being kicked out by Lord Danzo?"
"No! They wouldn't do that!"
Shimura Danzo frowned tightly, feeling like he was speaking well of Tenzo and Kakashi. He quickly tried to clear his thoughts and finally brought up the main issue: "I remember, you are supposed to report to the Anbu today."
"Yes."
"Go then."
Shimura Danzo planned to send the young Akihara Kagura away first, warning him: "If you cause trouble again, I will send you back…"
"I won't!"
Akihara Kagura immediately interrupted Shimura Danzo.
Akihara Kagura knew that what Shimura Danzo wanted to say was to send him back to Orochimaru. Of course, the old man was just saying it casually, but this should not be said lightly...
Because...
There might be an eavesdropper around.
Although Akihara Kagura knew that the mysterious masked man was always near him, it was not convenient to meet the new boss at this time. He still had to cause some trouble for this new boss.
Job rules.
If a company needs you to join, the treatment you get from actively sending a resume and being headhunted is completely different.
After leaving the root base, Akihara Kagura went directly to the Anbu to report. After registering his information, he first received a set of complete Anbu equipment.
A set of kunai, a short ninja sword, along with matching shuriken, a set of gray Anbu armor, and a mask to cover the face.
Anbu changing room.
When Akihara Kagura came in with a pile of equipment, a dozen Anbu ninjas were waiting for him inside, each with a different expression.
"Kid, you're late."
An impatient Anbu ninja spoke up first, accusing him, "Everyone is here waiting for you."
"Is there a mission?"
Akihara Kagura glanced at him and then looked around at everyone present: "Or is it that your own abilities are too weak, and you are unable to complete the mission?"
"What did you say"'
Several Anbu on site instantly became furious!
"Don't be impulsive."
Hatake Kakashi stopped them, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.
This kid is really troublesome. On his first day on the job, he's already causing conflict with his colleagues. Who knows how much trouble he will cause in the future.
"Yeah, don't be impulsive…"
Tenzo quickly stopped his colleagues and said, "Akihara Kagura is a newcomer, we should be more tolerant of him…"
After finishing his words, Tenzo actively tried to make peace with Akihara Kagura: "Do you want to change your equipment first? You can put your things in the storage locker, there is an empty one there…"
"Right…"
"Almost forgot to tell you…"
"Kakashi-senpai assigned you to my team."
There are four teams in the Anbu, each team is divided into four groups, and each group has four people. Hatake Kakashi is a team leader in the Anbu, and Tenzo is the leader of one of the groups in this team.
"Oh?"
Akihara Kagura looked at Tenzo in front of him, a smile appearing in his eyes, and his attitude suddenly became friendly: "So, I'm your subordinate now? Sounds good."
