Part Time Employee in Konoha (Completed)

Rain Village.

Inside the Pentagon conference room.

After Tsunade finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.

Jiraiya noticed Orochimaru's breathing next to him had become heavier. He knew his old friend's dream well and didn't expect that his own student and Orochimaru's experiment would fulfill Orochimaru's dream of mastering all the techniques and knowledge of the ninja world.

"So..."

The Fifth Kazekage Gaara knocked on the table, drawing everyone's attention. His voice was calm, "For us, it just means that guy is even harder to deal with. He was already very strong anyway..."

"Not just that..."

"That guy's pace of destroying the world will accelerate."

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki glanced at everyone present and spoke in a deep voice, "According to the intelligence brought by Kurotsuchi, that guy mentioned that there is nothing left in this world he wants. He will accelerate his progress in destroying the world..."

"That's not good!"

The Fourth Raikage suddenly thought of something, and his body almost immediately stood up, "While we're still in this meeting, that bastard might have already left the Rock Village and is heading to the Cloud Village to capture B. That bastard wants to take the Eight-Tails!"

Since he wants to accelerate the destruction of the world...

That guy will definitely go to the Cloud Village to capture Killer B!

"Don't panic!"

Tsunade hurriedly raised her voice to stop the Fourth Raikage and persuaded him in a serious tone, "Rushing back now won't help. If that guy wants to capture the Eight-Tails, neither you nor the Cloud Village can stop him. The most important thing now is to prevent him from destroying the ninja world!"

"Tsunade, aren't you worried about the Nine-Tails?"

The Fourth Raikage glared angrily at Tsunade.

Although what Tsunade said was true, it inevitably made the Fourth Raikage a little upset!

Even if he couldn't defeat Akihara Kagura or protect that idiot B, he still wanted to do everything he could for his sworn brother!

Even if...

He knew it was futile!

"At least for now, we don't need to worry about the Nine-Tails' safety."

Tsunade shook her head, her expression very calm, "Uchiha Madara only lost the battle. He is outside the Konoha, and he will also participate in this war to stop Akihara Kagura..."

"!!!"

This news immediately shocked everyone present!

It must be said...

This news was indeed astonishing!

A legendary figure like that would join their side?

No wonder Tsunade wasn't worried about the Nine-Tails problem in Konoha at all. It turned out that such a high-level figure was guarding the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in Konoha!

"Alright."

Tsunade sighed and took the initiative to summarize, "Now we must quickly decide on one thing here. Forming a ninja alliance among the five great nations is the trend, and we must do everything possible to stop Akihara Kagura from destroying the ninja world, at any cost!"

"Before that..."

"Konoha will stop Akihara Kagura from collecting all the Tailed Beasts! Everything else you have can wait until after the war, and the Konoha will give up all the benefits Akihara Kagura has taken!"

"If we can't stop Akihara Kagura now, everything we're discussing here will be meaningless, and our villages will have no future!"

"This war is unavoidable for us!"

"And besides our great nations..."

When Tsunade said this, she looked at Hanzo of the Salamander, who was hosting the meeting, "Lord Hanzo has been contacting other countries during this period. The samurai of the Land of Iron, and the ninjas from smaller countries like the Land of Hot Water will also unite to stop the crisis of the ninja world's destruction!"

"Indeed."

Hanzo of the Salamander nodded and spoke in a deep voice, "I am well aware of Akihara Kagura's threat, having seen his combat firsthand. Unless everyone unites to find a way, we will only be defeated by Akihara Kagura one by one, allowing him to collect the Tailed Beasts and revive the Ten-Tails..."

"I also happen to know some information about the Ten-Tails..."

"Once Akihara Kagura successfully revives the Ten-Tails, a single strike from it will be enough to destroy a great nation. At that point, the ninja world will have no chance of resistance!"

"..."

The present Kage couldn't help but look at each other.

Now...

They had to admit that Tsunade and Hanzo of the Salamander were right.

In fact, they originally agreed with the proposal to jointly resist Akihara Kagura, but they wanted to take this opportunity to regain some things. If Tsunade was willing to make a promise, all the better...

If this continued...

It would only waste the urgent time!

The Kages of the other major villages nodded in agreement.

Seeing that they were finally willing to stop wasting time, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, "If everyone agrees, then we should quickly return and assemble the ninjas of our respective villages to form a ninja coalition capable of resisting Akihara Kagura..."

"Besides..."

"We should also maintain intelligence communication during this time and find out as soon as possible the strength of the sudden appearance of Akihara Kagura's White Zetsu army..."

"Agreed."

The Fifth Kazekage Gaara nodded.

"Agreed."

The Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi had no objections.

"Agreed."

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki nodded. The old man just wanted to end this meeting quickly and return to Rock Village to assess the village's losses.

"Agreed."

The Fourth Raikage A nodded solemnly. He also wanted to return to Cloud Village quickly, fearing that his sworn brother Killer Bee might be captured by Akihara Kagura.

"Agreed."

This was a voice that was very familiar to everyone present.

"Hm?"

Tsunade suddenly frowned! Many present did not have time to react.

Because in normal thinking, there were five Kages at the meeting, and it was normal to hear five voices agreeing.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru reacted the fastest! They quickly stood up, ready for battle! The Kages from other villages also became vigilant. Most of them had heard this familiar voice and immediately realized who it belonged to!

"Akihara Kagura!"

"That's Akihara Kagura's voice!"

"When did that guy sneak in!"

"Be careful!"

Hanzo of the Salamander was the first to alert them.

The old man was the first to notice the situation on the ground. He saw something strange and shouted, "The shadows on the ground are unusual!"

The meeting room was brightly lit.

This made the shadows on the ground very clear.

All the shadows in the meeting room began to move rapidly. Everyone watched this scene in alarm, knowing it was the enemy's tactic!

"Is it Toad Flat Shadow Manipulation?"

Jiraiya stared at the converging shadows, recalling the technique he had taught Akihara Kagura, but then he shook his head and said, "No, it's more flexible than Toad Flat Shadow Manipulation; it’s more like the Nara Clan’s secret technique..."

The shadows continued to move!

These shadows converged and finally formed a large, pitch-black door shape above the pentagonal meeting room, from which a figure floated out.

"Akihara Kagura!"

The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth and uttered the name of the intruder!

Everyone present immediately became alert, as the person they were here to deal with was Akihara Kagura. They would not consider the intruder a guest!

"Stay alert!"

Hanzo of the Salamander shouted loudly!

A group of Rain Village ninjas responsible for maintaining order immediately prepared for battle, even though they were likely the weakest among those present!

However...

These Rain Village ninjas showed no fear!

"No need to be nervous."

Akihara Kagura's body slowly landed on the ground, calmly observing everyone present, seemingly indifferent to the faces full of hostility around him.

"It seems..."

"I might not be quite used to this myself…”

Akihara Kagura extended his hand and slowly brushed his hair. "I spend most of my time at the Root, and this is my first time attending such a grand event. It seems the leader of the Root is indeed not suited for such occasions…"

The ninjas present remained extremely vigilant!

Although Akihara Kagura appeared very relaxed and calm, even seemingly joking, the ninjas present did not believe he was joking at all!

"I'm not quite used to this…"

Akihara Kagura extended his foot and lightly tapped the ground. "I remember Jiraiya-sensei taught me that when using hands is inconvenient, feet can be used to form seals. This little trick is quite useful at times…"

Before he finished speaking, a stone platform from the Earth Flow Wall technique rose directly beneath Akihara Kagura, allowing him to sit above and overlook everyone present.

The first thing Akihara Kagura did upon sitting was to express his gratitude to his teacher. "Jiraiya-sensei, thank you for teaching me this little trick…"

Everyone's eyes turned to Jiraiya.

"You…"

Jiraiya looked at his strongest student with a very complicated expression, not even knowing how to communicate with him.

All along…

Jiraiya thought this student was very obedient.

Now it seems…

This student's resolve is more steadfast than anyone's, or he would not have been able to inherit the will of the Uchiha clan and come this far.

No one's persuasion…

Could change Akihara Kagura's mind.

"Lord Orochimaru is also here…"

Akihara Kagura chuckled and brought up something. "I didn't receive your birthday gift this year. Did you forget?"

"Hahaha… At that time, I was imprisoned at the Root…" Orochimaru chuckled and began to chat with Akihara Kagura. "The most important thing about a birthday gift is the surprise. None of my actions can escape your notice, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to you. Why waste time preparing one?"

"What you say makes sense."

Akihara Kagura pondered for a moment and then nodded seriously. "You're right. I forgive you for the birthday gift this year…"

"Why waste time talking nonsense!"

The Fourth Raikage, naturally hot-tempered, had no patience for idle chatter with Akihara Kagura. His body instantly entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode. "Since you have delivered yourself here, let's end it now!"

"Lord Raikage!"

Tsunade hurriedly tried to stop him from acting rashly!

However, the Fourth Raikage moved extremely fast. He stood on the conference table in an instant, crushed it with one foot, and reached for Akihara Kagura in mid-air!

"Lord Hokage, this is a rare opportunity!"

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki clasped his hands and solemnly reminded Tsunade. "Now that the Five Kage are gathered here, we can use the power of the Five Kage to seize the opportunity to kill Akihara Kagura!"

"Indeed!"

The Fifth Kazekage Gaara nodded.

Even the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi agreed with the Tsuchikage's proposal!

This is a rare opportunity…

Usually, a single village's Kage would not be a match for Akihara Kagura, but with all the Kage here, they might have a chance if they act together!

These few people…

Represent the strongest Five Kage in the ninja world!

"Prepare to retreat."

Orochimaru planned to leave immediately.

If the Five Kage really intended to kill Akihara Kagura here, it would be suicidal. The most prudent action now is to escape immediately!

As expected.

Just as Orochimaru had guessed!

The Fourth Raikage's body rushed straight towards Akihara Kagura. Instantly, lightning appeared around Akihara Kagura's body, wrapping him like armor!

Lightning Release Armor!

The strongest defensive secret technique of the Cloud Village!

The Fourth Raikage's attack was instantly repelled!

The Fourth Raikage's anger grew even stronger. The Lightning Release Armor was his father, the Third Raikage's, most skilled defensive technique. "You dare use the Cloud Village's secret technique to defend against me!"

"Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!”

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, decisively unleashed his Dust Release!

Akihara Kagura raised his palm, and a white light shot out from it, instantly neutralizing the light of Ōnoki's Dust Release, making him suddenly alert!

The Tsuchikage swiftly moved to the side! 

Akihara Kagura’s white light of Dust Release instantly pierced through the Tsuchikage’s desk, turning both the desk and the floor into nothingness, causing Ōnoki’s heart to tighten!

His Dust Release... was actually defeated by this kid!

"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"

The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumī, spat out a thick acid, which rushed towards Akihara Kagura like molten lava!

“Still using such outdated techniques...”

Akihara Kagura shook his head at Mei Terumī’s technique, casually watching the acid corrode the Lightning Release armor on his body, and nonchalantly asked.

“Back then, Mist Village sent the corresponding scroll to Konoha, which described the Kekkei Genkai formed by combining earth and water chakra nature transformations. Do you think I read it?”

“Read it...” 

Mei Terumī responded with a frown.

“That’s even better...” 

Akihara Kagura raised his fingers, a mass of fiery red acid emerged around him, forming a water dragon that lunged towards Mei Terumī: “This way, you won’t be surprised when I use this Kekkei Genkai technique...”

Splash!

Mei Terumī looked in horror at the incoming acid water dragon!

In an instant, a mass of yellow sand transformed into a sand wall, blocking the acid water dragon. The sand was quickly corroded by the dispersed acid!

Akihara Kagura turned to see Gaara manipulating the sand and suddenly snapped his fingers: “Magnet Release, formed from wind and earth chakra, has always seemed like an interesting Kekkei Genkai to me since Sand Village sent over that synthesis scroll...”

Boom!

The ground suddenly cracked open!

The buildings in Rain Village were mostly made of steel!

Several steel rods burst from the ground, instantly breaking through Gaara’s sand defense under the force of the magnetism, binding Gaara’s body like iron ropes!

“Gaara!”

The Sand Village guards, Kankurō and Temari, rushed up, with Kankurō controlling his puppet towards Akihara Kagura, while Temari swung her fan!

“Puppet technique?”

Akihara Kagura curled his fingers, and black chakra strings shot out from his hand, instantly attaching to Kankurō, directly controlling his body!

This was a combination of Yin-Yang Release and the puppet technique!

“This...”

Kankurō raised his fingers in disbelief, as he manipulated his puppet, Crow, to attack Temari following Akihara Kagura’s movements!

“Kankurō!”

Temari couldn’t defend against her brother’s surprise attack!

Tsunade swiftly charged forward, smashing Kankurō’s puppet into pieces with a punch, saving Temari in the nick of time!

“Enough!”

Tsunade stopped her movements immediately, looking gravely at Akihara Kagura, and questioned in a deep voice: “Kagura... Akihara Kagura, what are you doing here at this time!”

“Probably...”

Akihara Kagura nonchalantly released the chakra strings in his hand, and smiled at Tsunade: “I was worried about the Hokage being troubled by others. As Konoha’s advisor, it’s only right to eliminate those who disobey the Hokage’s orders...”

“Don’t joke around at a time like this!”

Tsunade sternly interrupted Akihara Kagura, and said gravely: “Are you worried that the Five Great Nations uniting will ruin your plans?”

“Quite the opposite...”

Akihara Kagura closed his eyes, raised his fingers and shook his head: “This time, I’m here to urge you to unite...”

Akihara Kagura looked up at the sky, spreading his hands as if showing mercy: “I don’t want my last memory of the old era to be of a bunch of fools still fighting over meaningless things when the end of the world arrives…”
