Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 53: New Boss, Wish us Happy Cooperation

This kid...

Really cunning and calculating!

Uchiha Obito was somewhat inexplicably astonished.

Because according to the rules of the ninja world, there is no communication between a clone and the original body. The original only receives messages when the clone is released.

Did this little kid anticipate that this situation would definitely occur tonight, when the wooden clone was used as a trap and sucked into this alternative space?

This kid...

When did he find out that his Dojutsu was a spatial one?

Akihara Kagura's wooden clone seemed to guess Uchiha Obito's thoughts and asked with a smile, "You must be wondering how I deciphered your Dojutsu, right?"

"Yes..."

Uchiha Obito slowly nodded his head.

"Shush..."

Akihara Kagura's wooden clone put a finger to his lips, whispering, "Don't speak, lest others notice we are communicating here. I also need you to nod occasionally to signal to the original outside..."

"..."

Uchiha Obito could only nod.

Akihara Kagura, satisfied with Uchiha Obito's response, answered his query: "I just made a bold assumption that anything in the world, if not destroyed, cannot just disappear without reason; it must appear somewhere..."

"Now..."

"Let's get back to the main point."

"I will ask, and you nod or shake your head in response."

Akihara Kagura's wooden clone leisurely asked the first question, "You knew I wanted to kill Uzumaki Naruto to create trouble, so you have been watching me, right?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito nodded.

At that moment, Uchiha Obito felt a sense of dj vu.

"The second question."

Akihara Kagura's wooden clone looked at him and continued to ask, "Did you kill Aburame Tatsuma last night to drive a wedge between me and Lord Danzo?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito quickly nodded his head.

"You nodded too quickly; you're trying to deceive me."

Akihara Kagura's wooden clone was somewhat dissatisfied with this answer and continued, "It seems that killing Aburame Tatsuma was not to drive a wedge between me and Lord Danzo, but to force me to betray Konoha. You want me to become a rogue ninja, right?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito's eyes widened in shock!

"I guessed right."

The wooden clone of Akihara Kagura seemed very certain of its answer and continued, "Since you want me to become a rogue ninja, instead of killing me secretly, you must need me for something. Do you need the power of my Wood Release jutsu for some matter?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito's gaze became more serious.

"I already know."

The wooden clone of Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Obito very satisfied and continued softly, "If you really want me to be your ally, just nod your head lightly... An owner of the Mangekyo Sharingan actually needs such a strong helper like me, I'm already curious about what you're planning."

"..."

Uchiha Obito slowly nodded his head.

This kid really likes to boast!

If it wasn't for his secret Dojutsu being discovered by him, if it wasn't for this kid setting traps during the fight, he would only be a toy in his hands!

And...

What exactly is this kid thinking? Does he want to be a spy in Konoha? Or is it just a pure curiosity about the unknown?

No...

This is just a crazy person with an extremely radical personality!

Because this kid named Akihara Kagura even thought about killing Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, to cause big trouble, obviously he's not that loyal to Konoha!

Anyway...

As long as he can escape successfully tonight!

Uchiha Obito already knew Akihara Kagura's thoughts, and also knew that this kid's mind was not quite normal, and he could be a very useful ally in the future.

Uchiha Obito was just a little annoyed. This kid had exposed his true identity and discovered the secret of his Mangeky Sharingan.

"Right, my new boss."

"Don't think you've got a hold on me."

Akihara Kagura's wood clone seemed to have guessed Uchiha Obito's thoughts and continued: "If you leak the news of me secretly joining you, and do something unpleasant between us, I will tell others the secret of your Mangeky Sharingan"

"..."

Uchiha Obito's face darkened as he nodded slightly.

This secret wasn't really a shackle for him; it just brought a bit of trouble. Being more careful in the future would prevent him from falling into today's predicament again.

But...

How dare this kid talk to him with such an attitude!

He was just a kid, supposedly just a pawn to be used, yet this kid acted as if he were the one superior!

"Hmm?"

Akihara Kagura's wood clone noticed Uchiha Obito's displeasure, but didn't care and squinted his eyes, smiling to soothe his mood.

"Don't be unhappy..."

Akihara Kagura's wood clone's smile was somewhat warm, softly persuading: "You should be happy that you have planted an undercover agent in Konoha... I'm a very sincere person, at least I'm not attacking you now. Isn't my real body outside also not putting in much effort?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito still felt a bit stifled.

If this kid's Wooden Clone also attacked him, forcing him to deal in the real world only with the kid's real body and Hatake Kakashi, that would indeed be a big trouble...

As for the identity of an undercover agent...

Uchiha Obito didn't particularly care.

Because he could always eavesdrop on conversations through the pitcher plant monster.

"An undercover agent can be very useful."

Akihara Kagura's wooden clone smiled even more triumphantly. After achieving its purpose, it began to actively draw a big picture for its new boss: "Today you exposed your identity in Konoha, and Konoha will definitely search everywhere for your news. I happen to be a member of Konoha's Anbu, so I can pass on information to you at any time, letting you know Konoha's movements"

"Because I was the first to find your trail and delayed your departure, exposing your identity, the higher-ups of Konoha will definitely not suspect that I have any connection with you. They might even let me join the squad that is assigned to pursue you"

"Think about it"

"As long as I am an undercover agent for you"

"We can let the Konoha higher-ups know whatever you want them to know... What we don't want them to know, they will never find out!"

"..."

Such an undercover agent is indeed very tempting!

Uchiha Obito unconsciously nodded his head.

At this moment, he felt that what Akihara Kagura's Wooden Clone said made a lot of sense.

The only thing that made Uchiha Obito uncomfortable was that if Akihara Kagura really became a successful Konoha undercover agent, it was all thanks to the achievements gained from Obito tonight...

"Alright."

"Looking forward to our pleasant cooperation."

Akihara Kagura's wooden clone slowly sat upright, smiling and said: "What you should do now is to kidnap Uzumaki Naruto, making outsiders think you are the one who wanted to kill the Nine-Tails tonight, and take the blame for me"

Akihara Kagura's wooden clone slowly said: "You killed Aburame Tatsuma, making me take the blame. Now, wanting to recruit me as a subordinate and take the blame for me, it's only natural for me to have no grudges against you"

"Just right"

"After you leave, I can inform them about your secret involvement in the Nine-Tails disturbance. Anyway, this matter can't be hidden for long due to the Nine-Tails chakra riot inside Uzumaki Naruto, so it's better if I reveal it to gain more trust from Konoha."

"..."

Uchiha Obito didn't really want to nod anymore.

However, he also knew that what Akihara Kagura's wooden clone said was right.

"Contact me again after you leave."

Akihara Kagura's wooden clone slowly sat upright and said: "Now, use your most powerful Wood Release in battle. My main body will start to assist you in escaping Konoha"
