Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 89: Fishing, not literally, but literally... Anyways it's philosophical

Akihara Kagura does not consider himself extreme.

A child raised by Orochimaru from a young age, it would be strange if his personality were normal!

As a child nurtured by Orochimaru, as a former subordinate of Shimura Danzo, and as the future cornerstone of the Akatsuki organization, Akihara Kagura's personality must become extreme.

Even...

Akihara Kagura must become even more extreme than them.

Only in this way, would these superiors not dare to assign him some important and arduous tasks, lest Akihara Kagura causes upheaval while carrying out his duties.

"Are you heading to the Rock Village?"

Orochimaru, aware of the commotion Uchiha Obito caused in the Rock Village, understood the purpose of this team's configuration: "Are you investigating information on Uchiha Obito?"

This route is the necessary path to the Land of Earth.

Orochimaru is well aware that Konoha, from top to bottom, does not wish for another war and naturally would not interfere in the war of the Land of Grass. If Konoha were to interfere first, it might provoke other major ninja villages to get involved.

"Yes."

Akihara Kagura nodded, mentioning the origin of this matter: "Because Captain Kakashi discovered that his teammate Uchiha Obito had come back to life, he has been tracking Uchiha Obito's whereabouts, wanting to bring Uchiha Obito back to Konoha"

"What a fool..."

Orochimaru's expression darkened.

Orochimaru thought of his own experiences during this period and felt a kind of empathy for the bond between Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi.

After defecting from Konoha, his former friend Jiraiya had been tirelessly tracking his whereabouts, earnestly trying to bring him back to Konoha.

Although Jiraiya had not caused any significant harm, he would always inexplicably infiltrate the laboratory, disrupting Orochimaru's experimental research.

"Hmph"

Orochimaru snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with such behavior: "When will these fools realize that what they are doing is futile"

"Is that person named Jiraiya still causing trouble for Lord Orochimaru?"

Akihara Kagura knew Orochimaru was cursing Jiraiya, seemingly inadvertently steering the conversation towards the Akatsuki organization: "I have found a way to deal with the trouble caused by Jiraiya"

"Somebody from an organization discovered my Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, secretly infiltrated Konoha to recruit me, claiming they could help solve the problem of Lord Orochimaru being pursued by Jiraiya"

"Oh? What organization?"

Orochimaru's gaze immediately sharpened.

Orochimaru did not care whether the other party could solve the Jiraiya issue, but was concerned about the organization that attempted to recruit and deceive his future vessel.

"Akatsuki."

Akihara Kagura became somewhat spirited, seriously recommending this future major villainous organization of the ninja world to Orochimaru: "Uchiha Obito is a member of Akatsuki, always claiming to be the de facto leader of the organization."

"An organization founded by Uchiha Obito"

Orochimaru immediately lost interest in the Akatsuki organization.

Although Uchiha Obito caused storms in the ninja world, utilizing the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, to control the Mist Village and even recently stirred up some trouble in the Rock Village...

But...

This is an organization of younger-generation rogue ninjas from Konoha.

Uchiha Obito's infiltration into Konoha was detected, and his conspiracies were thwarted by Konoha repeatedly. It seemed like a young man getting arrogant with a more powerful Sharingan...

Orochimaru believed he could cause a bigger commotion in the ninja world with just a little effort compared to Uchiha Obito; it's just that he preferred experimental research over causing disturbances.

"..."

Akihara Kagura immediately saw Orochimaru's lack of interest.

Now, Uchiha Obito being used as the face of the Akatsuki organization, his fame and status seemed too low, even lowering the organization's tone...

This shows the importance of having a notable figure in an organization, even if they're not actually useful, a name alone can attract people.

Perhaps the Uchiha name could deceive those with little insight, but Orochimaru, an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha, is all too familiar with the affairs of the Uchiha clan, those red-eyed folks couldn't even handle the challenges from Shimura Danzo!

"No need to bother with that organization anymore."

Orochimaru didn't care, his narrow eyes showing a dangerous look: "That Uchiha Obito has discovered your true identity..."

"I'll find time to gather information on the Akatsuki organization and Uchiha Obito, to completely eliminate him, to prevent him from causing you any trouble in the future, perhaps even obtaining a Mangekyo Sharingan as an experimental subject..."

"But..."

Akihara Kagura felt his superior was somewhat arrogant, trying to salvage the situation: "The organization's ability to gather information is excellent, they even found out I'm under Orochimaru, and my fight with Uchiha Obito, his abilities are also very strange, I worry that a conflict with them could trouble Lord Orochimaru..."

"Kagura."

Orochimaru affectionately patted his shoulder, interrupting him with a light laugh: "I will handle this matter, what you need to do now is to stay in Konoha and train well."

Orochimaru was somewhat impatient, as in the future when he needed to change bodies, he planned to take over Akihara Kagura's body, to give his old teacher, Hiruzen, a huge surprise!

"Alright."

Akihara Kagura lowered his head somewhat helplessly.

"Don't worry about me."

Orochimaru could understand the kid's concern for him, smiling to soothe his subordinate's emotions: "Jiraiya poses no threat to me at all..."

Orochimaru couldn't stay long, after assigning all tasks to Akihara Kagura, he quietly left.

After his superior left, Akihara Kagura watched his figure disappear completely, then slowly said, "Did you hear that? Awei, Lord Orochimaru doesn't want to join the Akatsuki."

"Then let's beat him up"

White Zetzu Awei's upper body slowly emerged from the ground.

"We probably don't need to intervene..."

Akihara Kagura leisurely sat down, picked up his fishing rod again, rebaited the hook, tightened the line, and cast the bait: "Orochimaru will take the initiative to approach the Akatsuki organization. In time, we will know whether Orochimaru or the Akatsuki organization is more worthy of our allegiance..."

"Are we going to do nothing?"

White Zetzu Awei's thoughts gradually aligned with Akihara Kagura's.

"Do you like to work?"

Akihara Kagura asked in return.

"No."

White Zetzu Awei quickly shook his head: "Although I don't know what else I should do, who would want to go out and work when they can lie comfortably underground?"

Akihara Kagura began to explain his theory: "Then do you believe that, regardless of whether we inform Uchiha Obito about this matter, Orochimaru and the Akatsuki organization are bound to clash? So why should we bother? Why waste our time and chakra?"

"You're right."

White Zetzu Awei quickly nodded.

"Go to Rock Village, keep an eye on Yakushi Kabuto for me."

Akihara Kagura took out a photo from his pocket.

Although White Zetzu Awei did not find out about the three scrolls Uchiha Itachi obtained from Shimura Danzo, Akihara Kagura could roughly understand from their interactions that Shimura Danzo was likely to make a move on Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nono.

At this moment, sending White Zetzu Awei to watch Yakushi Kabuto, and to see if Yakushi Kabuto has contacted Yakushi Nono, and whether Yakushi Nono has completely forgotten himself as a child of the orphanage...

No.

I'm not a child from the orphanage at all.

That was just a story I made up.

Akihara Kagura quickly shook his head, whether he was a child from the orphanage in the future depended on Yakushi Nono, wondering if the orphanage dean would experience any memory distortion because of his story.

"Go watch Yakushi Kabuto!"

Akihara Kagura narrowed his eyes and said softly, "I want to see how he's doing now, to see if he's been in contact with anyone recently... Maybe something interesting will happen to Yakushi Kabuto soon."

"Okay!"

"I love watching interesting events!"

White Zetzu Awei happily took the photo, having already eavesdropped on Yakushi Kabuto's affairs, and grinned, expressing his hobby: "I and my original self love to observe the stories happening in the ninja world!"

The photo was of Yakushi Kabuto.

This photo of Kabuto was actually tricked out of his hands by Akihara Kagura. Now, taking it out just lets White Zetzu Awei know his target.

The fishing rod on the river surface trembled.

Akihara Kagura quickly pulled up the fishing rod, and a fish about the length of an arm hung on the hook, constantly swinging back and forth on the hook.

The energy in the ninja world is abundant, and there are many big fish in the river. This fish is not considered very big in the ninja world, and perhaps it still has a long time to grow, but at this moment, it was caught by Akihara Kagura.

However, Akihara Kagura had no intention of letting it go.

"Good luck..."

With a composure that did not match his outward age, Akihara Kagura carefully removed the fish: "A fish that's been hooked can't be allowed to get wounded by the hook again."

"Kabuto is that fish."

White Zetzu Awei, looking at the photo of Kabuto, didn't quite understand Akihara Kagura's idea: "This fish doesn't seem to have anything special about it, just an ordinary person, right?"

"Some fish, well, grow big once you raise them."

Akihara Kagura patiently lectured White Zetzu Awei, then continued: "For now, we'll throw this fish into Orochimaru's pond, and everyone will raise it for a while."

Akihara Kagura hummed, a hint of confidence shining in his youthful eyes: "But this fish swallowed my bait, and after it grows up, it must belong to us."

"Then I'm off."

White Zetzu Awei quickly sank into the ground.

"Let's go, I'll fish for a while longer."

Akihara Kagura leisurely re-baited the hook and cast the line, the hook tracing a beautiful arc into the river: "The resources in the ninja world are really abundant, too many fish getting hooked, there's not even enough time to bait them, White Zetzu is starting to bite at empty hooks"
