Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 84: Good Subordinate

This is an extremely crucial piece of intelligence.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Mizukage did not see the specific appearances of the adversaries, only remembering that they all wore black robes embroidered with auspicious clouds, likely subordinates of Uchiha Obito.

"..."

Akihara Kagura furrowed his brows in thought.

Akihara Kagura pondered deeply.

Akihara Kagura racked his brains.

Akihara Kagura knew who those two people were.

The leaders of the future's strongest rogue ninja organization, Akatsuki - the leader and the deputy, also knew that the Akatsuki organization was key to Uchiha Obito's future plans.

Akihara Kagura thought hard about the pros and cons, how he could quietly leak information about the Akatsuki organization to put some pressure on Uchiha Obito when, finally, his superior Uchiha Obito got back in touch with him from Konoha.

The New Year of the ninja world arrived.

Uchiha Obito came to Konoha.

This was his hometown, where the people he loved the most were buried.

Due to the leak of Uchiha Obito's identity, his status within the Akatsuki organization was greatly reduced, from a pathfinder of Akatsuki to a partner.

Uchiha Obito could only rely on his Mangeky Sharingan and unparalleled intelligence gathering ability to avoid being excluded from the core circle of the plan.

On the occasion of the New Year, Uchiha Obito, inevitably feeling a bit melancholic, planned to spend these difficult days in Konoha and also to meet Akihara Kagura, an important subordinate, to introduce him to future comrades.

In the forest behind Konoha Village.

Uchiha Obito insisted on meeting Akihara Kagura here.

When Akihara Kagura met Uchiha Obito, he also saw a half-black, half-white pitcher plant monster and a fierce white monster standing beside him.

Both Uchiha Obito and the pitcher plant monster wore black robes with red auspicious clouds, only the white monster seemed not to need clothes.

"This is Zetsu."

Uchiha Obito candidly introduced the half-black, half-white pitcher plant monster and then introduced the fierce white monster beside him: "This is White Zetzu, your future comrade."

"At least pair me with a person, right?"

Akihara Kagura raised an eyebrow, continuing: "Being in league with such monsters, I always feel what we're going to do might not be anything humane"

"Hehehe"

This entity named White Zetzu, white clone, said with a grin, "Don't worry, we were never good people anyway!"

"Then, here's to a pleasant collaboration."

Akihara Kagura walked towards this white clone, seemingly wanting to shake hands with it to symbolize future amicable relations.

Just as this white clone stretched out its hand, Akihara Kagura suddenly pulled its body at an angle with his right hand, and his palm seized its throat!

"White Zetzu... White Zetzu is going to die..."

This white clone struggled and stuck out its tongue.

"What are you doing, kid!"

Uchiha Obito looked at Akihara Kagura furiously, hurriedly grabbing Akihara Kagura's arm: "Kid, do you know how useful it is, how much help it can bring you?"

"The one who truly needs help is you, right?"

Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Obito and chuckled lightly: "Too bad, when I wanted to pass on the information, I couldn't find a way to contact you"

"That's why I sent it to help you!"

Uchiha Obito's expression was especially grim as he continued: "Whatever information you have, you can tell it, and it can directly find me"

"White Zetzu is my clone"

The Pitcher Plant Monster's white half-face said: "We have telepathy within a certain distance, whatever you want to say, you can tell it, and I will know its thoughts."

"Its disguise technique is so good, it can impersonate you and stay in Konoha on your behalf when you can't afford to be there."

"It won't disrupt your life; it can hide underground without eating or drinking, and you can summon it whenever you want it to do something."

"Isn't this just monitoring me?"

Akihara Kagura frowned and said discontentedly, "What if one day I find you all to be worthless and don't want to play with you anymore? Then you'll know, won't you?"

...

Uchiha Obito's eyelid twitches.

Even the pitcher plant monster felt somewhat speechless.

How could this kid so brazenly speak of betraying them!

"Our plan won't disappoint you."

The pitcher plant monster's dark half-face didn't show anger but instead gave a sinister smile: "If you really betray us, we will make sure you won't be disappointed then either."

"Are you planning to kill me then?"

Akihara Kagura raised an eyebrow, released the clone of White Zetsu, and instead grabbed Uchiha Obito's wrist, a leaf mark quietly imprinting on him: "Why not try and see if you can kill me?"

"Kid, don't get too cocky..."

Uchiha Obito's Sharingan slowly transformed into a Mangekyou.

Just as Uchiha Obito was about to activate his Mangekyou Sharingan technique, a statement from Akihara Kagura made him stop his thoughts immediately.

"Not long ago, I learned the Flying Thunder God technique from Kakashi."

Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Obito's Sharingan and continued, "I'm quite curious, which is stronger, your space-time jutsu or my newly mastered Flying Thunder God technique? How about we have another fight?"

...

Uchiha Obito was reminded of an unpleasant memory.

That year, Uchiha Obito, determined to become the shadowy figure behind the ninja world, relying on his Mangekyou Sharingan, single-handedly caused the Nine-Tails incident, and even tried to kill his own teacher, Namikaze Minato, only to be defeated by Minato using the Flying Thunder God...

Wait...

Uchiha Obito suddenly thought of something, staring intently at Akihara Kagura, and asked, "Did that loser Kakashi learn the Flying Thunder God technique?"

Damn it!

The Flying Thunder God technique could indeed compete with his own!

Uchiha Obito originally thought that with the Mangekyo Sharingan, he no longer needed to pay attention to Kakashi. However, to his surprise, Kakashi went on to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. Did he learn it specifically to counter him?

"..."

Akihara Kagura recalled Hatake Kakashi's somewhat worrisome progress in learning but deliberately blurred the answer to this question: "I learned the Flying Thunder God Technique together with Captain Kakashi, and I have already mastered this technique..."

"Hmph..."

Uchiha Obito snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with Kakashi learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, but could only vent his frustration here: "So what if he has learned the Flying Thunder God Technique now? A failure will always be a failure!"

Given the chance, he would test Hatake Kakashi's mettle to see what changes learning the Flying Thunder God Technique could bring!

Having once confronted Minato, who was skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique, handling Hatake Kakashi would be easy!

It seems Akihara Kagura understood his superior's thoughts and spoke slowly: "Captain Kakashi is still covertly tracking your whereabouts. He recently received new intelligence that among your subordinates, there is a man with bright orange hair and a woman with light blue-purple hair."

"Right."

"They wear the same clothes as you."

"..."

Those troublesome individuals!

Uchiha Obito gritted his teeth, remembering the woman with light blue-purple hair's attitude towards him. After discovering his true identity, she showed nothing but disdain and even doubted the plans he made for the Akatsuki organization.

At the turn of the New Year...

Why is it that all he hears are unhappy things?

Akihara Kagura is a good subordinate, kindly suggesting: "This time, why not consider eliminating those two subordinates of yours, to prevent Captain Kakashi from discovering anything else"
