Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 54: Kagura :)

"Nothing should be wasted."

Akihara Kagura is a person who lives thriftily.

Even when Uchiha Obito was about to leave, he wanted him to use the Wood Release jutsu one last time in front of Hatake Kakashi to clear himself of the suspicion of killing Aburame Tatsuma.

Uchiha Obito, however, did not think about these things.

Because at that time, he just wanted to leave Konoha as soon as possible.

The real world.

Hatake Kakashi's battle was still fierce.

Even after so many years, Hatake Kakashi still seemed like that genius. If it weren't for the enhancement of the Mangeky Sharingan, Uchiha Obito might not be his match!

Unfortunately...

There are no what-ifs in the world.

Uchiha Obito's body was almost always in a state of intangibility, making every one of Hatake Kakashi's forceful attacks miss. Akihara Kagura's assistance didn't seem that powerful either...

"It's impossible to attack his body..."

Hatake Kakashi's forehead was dripping with a bead of sweat. No matter whether he used Taijutsu or Ninjutsu, he was helpless against Uchiha Obito's intangible state.

Especially when Uchiha Obito nodded his head from time to time, as if he was commenting on his growth over the years, perhaps also confident that Hatake Kakashi was completely helpless against him...

Of course, Hatake Kakashi didn't know that in this short period of time, Uchiha Obito had secretly hired someone in the Mangeky Sharingan alternative space.

After interviewing his new subordinate, Uchiha Obito quickly canceled his intangible state and returned to the real world, grabbing Hatake Kakashi's left wrist with one hand.

"Fool!"

"Hm?"

Hatake Kakashi was not scared but pleasantly surprised!

Swoosh!

A shuriken appeared in Hatake Kakashi's left hand. With a light flick of two fingers, the shuriken flew towards Uchiha Obito's shoulder!

As a genius ninja who participated in wars from a young age, Hatake Kakashi's shuriken-throwing skill was extremely proficient, a technique not easily learned by other ninjas!

"Is that all you're capable of?"

Uchiha Obito's palm was still gripping Hatake Kakashi's wrist, just entering an intangible state in an instant.

This is the terrifying aspect of Uchiha Obito's intangibility ability!

The moment the body is about to be attacked, it can instantly become intangible!

The cunning shuriken shot out by Hatake Kakashi, aiming to take advantage, passed through Uchiha Obito's shoulder like it was passing through air!

"You're a bit disheveled, Captain Kakashi"

Akihara Kagura's voice suddenly came from the side.

The young Anbu quickly flicked a wooden spike from his palm, stabbing towards Uchiha Obito!

Hatake Kakashi struggled out of his restraints and quickly retreated back to Akihara Kagura's side, wanting to discuss tactics: "Kagura, you take care of the attack, I will be responsible for..."

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Another voice interrupted Hatake Kakashi's thoughts!

Uchiha Obito quickly formed hand seals and spat out a huge fireball towards the direction of Hatake Kakashi and Akihara Kagura!

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

Hatake Kakashi quickly formed seals and released a defensive jutsu!

A wall carved with a dog's head emerged from the ground, blocking the fireball attack. The intense heat brought a gust of hot wind that blew through Kakashi's white hair!

"Hmph"

"Still the same old tactics..."

Uchiha Obito looked disdainfully at the old stone wall ravaged by flames.

The next moment!

Vines suddenly sprouted around him!

Akihara Kagura stood next to Hatake Kakashi, fingers clasped together, maintaining the Snake hand seal, frantically manipulating the vines to attack Obito's body!

"..."

Uchiha Obito looked towards Akihara Kagura.

The eyes of the young Anbu were still sharp, as if he was always the loyal Konoha ninja, making Uchiha Obito wonder if the interview scene he had just experienced was a dream, or if he was under a genjutsu?

However...

It was neither a dream nor a genjutsu.

Because Akihara Kagura suddenly tilted his head.

This action made Uchiha Obito realize that the other party was reminding him to act according to the agreement with his wooden clone, rather than entangling with Hatake Kakashi here...

Hatake Kakashi, this fool...

This guy doesn't even know that the kid who has been fighting alongside him has already chosen to side with him!

Uchiha Obito's palms also suddenly came together to form seals!

"Wood Release: Revolt of Hell!"

Thorny bushes grew out of the ground!

These thorns spiraled and grew rapidly, converging into large trees covered with thorns, turning this place into a land of thorns that no one could approach!

Akihara Kagura quickly retreated, avoiding the range of the Revolt of Hell!

Akihara Kagura even manipulated the vines, wrapping around Hatake Kakashi's body and retreating together, rescuing his captain from the threat of Revolt of Hell!

"Thank you..."

Hatake Kakashi thanked Akihara Kagura for his intervention.

Although Hatake Kakashi could have avoided the danger himself, this little guy was quick and had already saved him several times tonight... Although he always pretended to be tough and wanted to kill him, he was not sloppy when it came to saving people. Obviously, Akihara Kagura was not a hopeless child.

"You're welcome."

Akihara Kagura's face drooped, and he snorted coldly: "I'm just worried that if you die, it would be a bit tricky for me to kill him alone..."

"..."

Hatake Kakashi did not speak.

This kid really is stubborn!

Clearly, you're not a match for Obito, right? Weren't you just stalling Obito, waiting for reinforcements to come and help?

Akihara Kagura looked at the fierce and terrifying Wood Release: Revolt of Hell, seemingly unable to restrain himself from praising Uchiha Obito: "He can even use Wood Release, this technique is not bad. I should find an opportunity to develop it myself, this technique could definitely kill many people..."

"..."

Hatake Kakashi frowned.

What on earth had Uchiha Obito been through these years?

Why does he possess the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, how could an Uchiha have acquired Wood Release? It could only have been obtained through human experimentation, right?

Who made him undergo Wood Release human experimentation?

After hearing Akihara Kagura's words, Hatake Kakashi felt that Akihara Kagura's way of thinking was too extreme, completely neglecting another matter.

Hatake Kakashi slowly shook his head, voluntarily bringing up the topic: "Kid, do you still remember someone killed Aburame Tatsuma and framed you?"

"It's him!"

Akihara Kagura seemed to have just figured it out!

"He must be kept here!"

However, just as Akihara Kagura was quickly forming hand seals, seemingly wanting to stop Uchiha Obito, Obito's voice came through.

"If you take one more step forward"

Uchiha Obito, standing on Naruto, spoke coldly: "I'll kill Naruto. After all, this kid was lucky to have survived in the first place"

"Huh?"

Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Obito and scoffed: "Do you think I care whether that kid lives or dies? As if you would spare Naruto if we stopped. Isn't your goal tonight to kill Naruto?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito didn't want to look at him.

Uchiha Obito chose to look at Hatake Kakashi instead.

Hatake Kakashi quickly pressed on Akihara Kagura's shoulder, fearing that Kagura would provoke Obito: "Obito, don't be rash"

"No need for pointless talk!"

Akihara Kagura was still stubborn, speaking loudly: "Whether you kill that kid or not, you can't escape tonight. I still have a lot of chakra to delay..."

"..."

Uchiha Obito's palm quickly formed a wooden spike!

"Akihara Kagura, follow the orders of your superiors."

Hatake Kakashi quickly interrupted Akihara Kagura, turning back to Obito: "Obito, let go of Naruto, I will let you leave here."
