Bonding Eye (Left), The First Mangekyo Sharingan!

Chapter 45: Bonding Eye (Left), The First Mangekyo Sharingan!

The Mysterious Masked Man was a bit bewildered.

Why was Akihara Kagura's thought process so strange?

When normal people are wrongly accused, shouldn't they try to defend themselves and then be forced to defect after being unable to explain? Why was Akihara Kagura actively taking the blame instead?

"Zetsu, follow him and see."

The Mysterious Masked Man could only have the Pitcher Plant Monster burrow into the ground to investigate the situation and figure out why the plan to force Akihara Kagura to defect had gone wrong.

"Okay."

The Pitcher Plant Monster immediately sank into the earth.

After the monster, named Zetsu, burrowed underground, it followed the group to the Root base and secretly hid underground, eavesdropping on the conversation between Akihara Kagura and Danzō Shimura.

Root Base.

When Danzō Shimura first saw Aburame Ryoma's corpse, he was furious at Akihara Kagura's audacity and immediately wanted to capture the brat and teach him a lesson.

Now, Akihara Kagura stood before him, even acting as if killing Aburame Ryoma was the most natural thing in the world, as if he had done nothing wrong.

"Why did you kill Ryoma?"

"I didn't like him when I was in Root. He mocked me for being kicked out of the base, and even called me a traitor like Kano... I just wanted to teach him a lesson, but he insulted me again, calling me a traitor, and I killed him in one move."

"..."

Danzō Shimura fell silent.

What was wrong with Aburame Ryoma's brain?

Instead of inquiring about the situation upon returning to the village, he went to mock a killing tool?

Danzō Shimura had expelled Akihara Kagura from Root not because Akihara Kagura had betrayed him, but because Hiruzen Sarutobi had taken him away, and Danzō could no longer trust Akihara Kagura as he had in the past. However, the brat was still a usable tool.

"You are too extreme in your actions!"

Danzō Shimura took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and continued to scold, "This old man already ordered you not to kill people indiscriminately within the village!"

"Just some Aburame Ryoma..."

"It's not someone else from the village. Lord Danzō can definitely handle it..."

Akihara Kagura frowned and pointed at the two guards at the Root base. "When those two kicked me out, I wanted to kill them too, but I was worried about upsetting Lord Danzō again and being completely discarded by him..."

"Hmph!"

"So you know what's important..."

"You know to let this old man clean up the mess you caused..."

Danzō Shimura clenched his cane and said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, you dumped Ryoma's body in the Root base. Once the Anbu find Ryoma's body..."

That would be a huge problem!

Fortunately.

Akihara Kagura killed someone from Root.

If Akihara Kagura had killed another ninja from the village, Danzō would have had to negotiate with others, and it would have been difficult to help the brat clean up his mess!

Something felt a little off...

Yet, Danzō Shimura felt like nothing was wrong.

Never mind.

The most important thing right now was to make sure this brat changed his habit of killing, at least not to kill villagers indiscriminately!

This damned brat!

He was clearly a sharp weapon, but before he could use this weapon to attack enemies, he had already wounded his own palm.

"You're going to the Anbu. You are not allowed to kill your colleagues indiscriminately!"

Danzō Shimura could only suppress his anger and coldly reprimanded, "Hiruzen Sarutobi is not a good person. He won't cover for you like this old man will!"

"Then can I kill that traitor named Tenzo and Kakashi? What if they also mock me for being kicked out by Lord Danzō?"

"No! They wouldn't do that!"

Danzō Shimura's brows furrowed tightly. He felt like he was speaking well of Tenzo and Kakashi. He quickly tried to clear his thoughts and finally got to the main topic. "I remember you were supposed to report to the Anbu today."

"Yes."

"Go."

Danzō Shimura intended to send the young Akihara Kagura away first and warned him, "If you cause trouble again in the future, this old man will send you back to..."

"I won't!"

Akihara Kagura immediately interrupted Danzō Shimura.

Akihara Kagura knew that Danzō Shimura wanted to say he would send him back to Orochimaru. The old man was clearly just saying it casually, but he couldn't just say it...

Because...

There might be another eavesdropper nearby.

Although Akihara Kagura knew the Mysterious Masked Man was always nearby, it wasn't convenient to meet the new boss at this time. He still needed to cause some trouble for this new boss.

Workplace rules.

If a company needs you to join, actively submitting a resume and being scouted by a headhunter are two entirely different paths to employment with completely different treatment.

After Akihara Kagura left the Root base, he went directly to report to the Konoha Anbu. After registering his information, he first collected a complete set of Anbu equipment.

A kunai, a short ninja sword, and matching shuriken, a set of gray Anbu protective gear, and a mask to conceal his face.

Anbu changing room.

When Akihara Kagura entered with a pile of equipment, over a dozen Anbu ninjas were waiting for him inside, each with a different expression.

"Kid, you're late."

An Anbu ninja, who had grown impatient waiting, spoke up first, accusing him, "Everyone is here waiting for you."

"Is there a mission?"

Akihara Kagura glanced at him, then surveyed everyone present, "Or are you all too weak to complete missions?"

"What did you say!"

Several Anbu present instantly became enraged!

"Don't be rash."

Kakashi Hatake stopped the few, feeling a slight headache.

This kid is really a big troublemaker. On his very first day on the job, he's already clashed with colleagues. Who knows how many more problems he'll cause in the future.

"Yeah, don't be rash..."

Tenzo quickly held back his colleagues and said, "Akihara Kagura is new, you should be more tolerant of him..."

After speaking, Tenzo proactively extended an olive branch to Akihara Kagura, "Do you want to change your gear first? You can put your things in the locker. There's still an empty locker inside..."

"Oh, right..."

"I almost forgot to tell you..."

"Senior Kakashi has assigned you to my squad."

The entire Anbu was divided into four divisions, each division overseeing four squads, and each squad consisting of four people. Kakashi Hatake was a division leader in the Anbu, and Tenzo was a squad leader in this division.

"Oh?"

Akihara Kagura looked at Tenzo before him, a smile appearing in his eyes, and his attitude suddenly became amiable, "So I'm your subordinate? That sounds pretty good."

First update, a bit late! Because I was struggling whether to meet Kakashi first or the masked man first
