Akihara Kagura

Akihara Kagura was a transmigator.

In his previous life, Akihara Kagura was simply Akihara, an incompetent wage slave.

After all, working a job was a hard way to earn money. Akihara just wanted to find something to do. He had a stable income and his life could be described as secure.

Employees who couldn't be tied down by money were always a hassle.

Naturally.

Akihara was always on the path between unemployment and employment.

After Akihara casually submitted his resume, a strange company sent him an interview invitation, hoping he could discuss the position with them.

Akihara agreed.

However, when Akihara woke up, he found himself in this world, having become a youngster named Akihara Kagura.

Akihara Kagura was one of the orphans adopted by Orochimaru. He had spent years in an experiment base, his main job being the cleaning of the base, and his secondary role as material for human experiments.

Fortunately, Akihara Kagura had activated the [Appreciation System for Diligent Work] on his person, which gave him a trait that allowed him to conduct human experiments.

The system's name was deceptive, but its function was very real.

As long as Akihara Kagura chose a superior and diligently completed that superior's tasks, he could obtain certain mission rewards.

If Akihara Kagura wanted to leave this world, there were only two options. The first was for this world to perish. If the company went bankrupt, he could definitely resign. The second was to find a way to be fired by this world and continue looking for work in the next.

Both seemed quite difficult.

Moreover, Akihara Kagura didn't want to leave immediately. This was a rare life experience. As long as he chose a superior, the system would also issue a New Hire Welcome Package.

Unfortunately.

The newly arrived Akihara Kagura could only choose Orochimaru as his superior.

Akihara Kagura drew a super trait called [Ninja Science] from the New Hire Welcome Package, which allowed him to survive the Hashirama Cells transplant human experiment, which had a mortality rate of over ninety-nine percent.

[Name: Akihara Kagura] [Gender: Male] [Age: 10] [Date of Birth: Konoha Calendar Year 43, April 4th] [Chakra Nature: Fire, Fu, Lightning, Earth, Water, Yang] [Total Chakra: SSS (Physical fitness greatly enhanced, strength and speed far exceed Regular Ninja, sensory ability improved, total chakra reaches the limit of a normal ninja, originating from Hashirama Cells transplant.)]

[Skills]

[Wood Style: Wood Clone (A clone technique evolved from the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai. When a Wood Clone is destroyed, it can transform into branches to entangle enemies. Furthermore, because Wood Release Chakra can serve as a source of life, Wood Clones are harder to distinguish from real ones compared to other clone techniques, even the advanced Shadow Clone Jutsu.)]

[Wood Style: Wood Substitution (A substitution technique evolved from the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai. Upon being attacked, the user can instantly swap with a wooden substitute.)]

[Wood Style: Wood Transformation (A transformation technique evolved from the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai. Using Wood Style, the user can transform into another person, making it harder to detect than ordinary Transformation Jutsu.)]

[Wood Style: Impaling Technique (The Wood Style Kekkei Genkai awakens, allowing the user to extend wooden spikes from various parts of their body. After piercing an enemy with a wooden spike, the user can perform hand seals to make the spike branch and grow further, impaling the enemy's body.)]

[Gene Modification Technology (By forcibly rewriting genes, special abilities can be etched into the genetic level, making it more convenient and safer than cell transplantation experiments.)]

[Traits]

[Instantaneous Healing (Superb self-healing ability, allowing the user to heal their body without hand seals, derived from Hashirama Cells transplantation.)]

[Wood Style Kekkei Genkai (The Kekkei Genkai of the legendary God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju. An extremely rare bloodline in the ninja world, not even inherited by Hashirama's direct descendants. Derived from Hashirama Cells transplantation.)]

[Ninja Science (When the host conducts human experiments, human experiments that conform to Ninja Science theory are guaranteed to succeed. Reward from the New Hire Welcome Package.)]

[Superior: Orochimaru]

It was obvious.

For the system, choosing a good leader was important.

Orochimaru's abilities as a superior were all about cutting-edge technology and ruthless execution.

Based on Akihara Kagura's observations, the system's mission rewards were distributed based on the superior's situation. His career in the ninja world would likely require him to switch jobs multiple times.

Just now, under the guise of losing control, Akihara Kagura tested attacking Orochimaru and found that attacking his superior posed no problem, and the system imposed no penalty.

Perhaps the system encouraged job-hopping?

After all, this kind of working-for-a-system seemed to require many superiors...

No, it should be said that this system, which squeezed its workers dry, definitely encouraged Akihara Kagura to work for more superiors.

Akihara Kagura also planned to find another superior in the ninja world because Orochimaru, as a superior, had questionable morals and was starting to covet his body...

"Kagura."

Orochimaru was unaware that the young man before him was already contemplating changing jobs and planning for the future. He needed Akihara Kagura to learn Wood Style ninjutsu.

"Next..."

"Let's go to Konoha."

"I have an ally in Konoha."

When Orochimaru mentioned his ally, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a strange smile. "Learning Wood Style Ninjutsu from him will also let me see how far you can go..."

"Besides that..."

"Go and monitor his alliance with me."

"Yes."

Young Akihara Kagura agreed, then looked up with some confusion, "Konohagakure, Lord Orochimaru's hometown?"

"...That's right."

Orochimaru nodded, his voice becoming a little careless. "Go and see my hometown. The scenery there is beautiful..."

However, the reminiscence in Orochimaru's eyes quickly faded. He grinned strangely and said softly, "One day, I will return."

"..."

Obviously.

Orochimaru had ill intentions towards his hometown.

Akihara Kagura remained noncommittal about this.

As a transmigrator...

Akihara Kagura knew a little bit about Konohagakure.

Konohagakure.

The most powerful ninja village in the ninja world, and also Orochimaru's hometown, located in the most prosperous Land of Fire. The highest leader of Konoha was the Hokage.

Orochimaru and his two friends were known as Konoha's Three Sannin. They had made great contributions to Konoha and had even almost become Hokage, but were unanimously rejected by his teacher, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the grounds of his heart being too dark...

This was unreasonable...

Which ninja in the ninja world was pure and good?

As a result, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi chose a man as warm and radiant as the sun to be the Fourth Hokage. One had to admire him...

Unfortunately...

Not long after the Fourth Hokage took office, Konohagakure erupted in the Nine-Tails' Rampage, which shocked the ninja world. The Fourth Hokage sacrificed himself to resolve the Nine-Tails' Rampage in Konohagakure...

However...

Orochimaru's opportunity did not come; instead, he faced a crisis.

The Third Hokage rejected all candidates, reassumed power, and discovered Orochimaru's secret human experimentation. He personally led the ANBU to capture Orochimaru...

Orochimaru had no choice but to defect from Konohagakure, becoming a wanted missing-nin. From a former hot candidate for Hokage, he became an S-rank missing-nin in the ninja world...

Orochimaru's heresy was the main reason, but his ally still in Konohagakure would definitely have to take some blame...

That ally...

was indeed not a good person...

Orochimaru wanted to send Akihara Kagura to that ally's side, but for Akihara Kagura, this was an opportunity to get a position within Konohagakure.

This was a position!

A position within the Five Great Official Organizations of the ninja world!
