Naruto: Assistant to the Hokage

Chapter 24: Chapter 22 - An Insidious and Cruel Plan to Kill Each Other



Kabuto's heart raged a bit.

For he never thought he would be loved so tenderly.

From the mouth of this teenager whose expression was filled with hatred and jealousy, Yakushido had gotten too much information, and his heart missed even more the Nono dean who had taken care of him like a mother, and who had gone to great lengths for him.

However...

Now was not the time for raging emotions.

The most important thing now was to find out the teenager's revenge plan.

Only by probing out Kagura's revenge plan could there be any hope of resolving the crisis that he and Yakushino Nono Dean were about to encounter.

According to the information that Kabuto possessed, Danzo must have wanted to kill Dean Nono, and Kagura, the teenager, was only involved in it.

It would be great if he could still persuade this teenager to give up those revenge plans and protect the dean together with himself.

Kabuto frowned in thought while trying to test Kagura, "You've never met Dean Nono either, have you? Maybe it's because you've been away from the orphanage for too long?"

Kabuto seemed to have found a direction and spoke, "There's also the possibility that Danzo-sama secretly lied to Dean Nono, telling her that you had died a long time ago."

"Lord Kagura, we are all children from an orphanage, and we all understand how much Dean Nono has taken care of us, and there is no way that Dean Nonoyu would ever give up on a child for no reason."

"..."

This guy had a point!

If Kagura was really some kind of Konoha orphanage, he had a feeling that Kabuto was being a bit accurate, and that a few more words would have been enough to be turned by Kabuto...

Pity.

Kagura didn't want to play the role of a villain who was persuaded.

He only wanted to play the role of becoming a child who had gone astray and couldn't turn back!

"Shut up!"

Kagura's palm snapped out to strangle Kabuto's neck!

The teenager's eyes steeped in ferocity as he pressed Kabuto dead against the wall and whispered, "Kabuto, don't disrespect Lord Danzo or I'll kill you right now!"

The teenager looked contemptuously at Kabuto, who was unable to resist in his hands, and slowly released him again, "Hmph, I should have known that I should have just killed you during the training ground..."

"Cough...cough cough cough..."

Kabuto lowered his head and coughed hard a few times, his eyes flickering slightly, "Then why didn't you kill me? Lord Danzo shouldn't blame you."

"That would be too cheap."

Kagura's fingertips flashed a picture of Kabuto's likeness, the very same one that Kagura had seized into his hands while at the training grounds.

"Want to guess what I'm going to do?"

"It's a picture of you, the real you."

"Unfortunately, Dean Yakushino Nono doesn't know who the person in the picture is, she only believes that the fake is Kabuto, so she'll just assume you're a stranger."

Kagura's fingers twirled the photo and spoke of his plan without a care in the world, "All I need to do is give the photo to Dean Yakushino Nayu, order her to kill the person in the photo in the name of Lord Danzo, and I'll promise to let you leave the Root Organization..."

"..."

Kabuto's face changed.

Kagura looked at Kabuto's face and the smile at the corner of his mouth grew even thicker, "When our most respected Yakushino Nono-san kills you, she will know all the truth..."

"She will know that the one she killed with her own hands was the real Yakushi Kabuto, the Yakushi-Kabuto she's been holding onto all this time!"

"..."

Kabuto's face turned pale.

Anyone knew how devastating this kind of thing would be to Yakushino Nono once it happened, perhaps it was possible that she killed herself after killing the real Kabuto!

This was a cruel plot.

From the memories of his previous life, Kagura remembers that this case of fratricide was personally planned by Shimura Danzo, who wanted Kabuto and Nono to die together.

Unfortunately, the plan went fail.

Yakushino Nono did not recognize Kabuto, and when she desperately tried to kill Kabuto, she was heavily injured by Kabuto's counter-strike, and Kabuto's extraordinary learning ability allowed him to fight far better than an ordinary medical ninja like Yakushino Nono could fight.

However...

Kabuto recognizes his dean.

While Kabuto is desperately trying to save his dean, the dean doesn't recognize him because of the fake photo incident and just treats him as a stranger, which immediately devastates Yakushido Kabuto and makes him think that his life is meaningless.

Now...

Kagura had told Kabuto the truth about this self-inflicted murder ahead of time, and even mixed in a little bit of his own drama in the middle of it, creating a new and important bond between himself, Yakushido, and Yakushino Nono.

In this way...

In the future, he would have the opportunity to utilize Kabuto.

Even if these lies were exposed, it didn't matter, why not just come clean and open up, Akihara Kagura had also saved Kabuto and Yakushino Nono... according to the memories of his previous life, Kabuto was not an ungrateful person!

"I've told you all about my plans."

Kagura patted Kabuto's shoulder and continued with a smile, "Having someone kill the one they're most attached to must be able to make her feel pain, right?"

"You tell me..."

Kabuto clenched his teeth and stared angrily at the teenager in front of him, "Aren't you afraid that your plan will fail if you tell me all this? I can tell the truth to the dean..."

"Doesn't matter."

Kagura spread out his own hands in a winning manner, "If you succeeded in identifying yourself with Dean Yakushino Nono, she would be happy to see you, right?"

"Then I'll kill you myself when she's happiest after you tell her all the truth, I just want her to taste the pain anyway."

Kagura didn't care about any of this at all, and in a rare moment of truthfulness, "It's enough that I only need the result I want, it doesn't matter how the process leading up to that result goes."

"Yakushido Kabuto."

"When I learned of you, your destinies were sealed."

"..."

Kabuto slowly hung his head.

What had to be admitted was that Kagura should indeed have this confidence.

Based on Yakushidou's observation, all the members of the entire Root did not dare to make a sound under Kagura's threat, proving that Akihara Kagura's strength could not be underestimated.

Not to mention...

There was also the mysterious and unpredictable Wood Release.

However, if the teenager in front of him was confident that he could kill him, he and Dean Nono might not have no chance of surviving!

"Let's go."

"Let's go see Lord Danzo first."

Kagura took the lead in walking towards the depths of the Root Organization's base, seemingly unconcerned as he opened his mouth to warn, "It would be best if you don't talk too much in front of Lord Danzo or show the slightest bit of disrespect in front of him, lest Lord Danzo make me kill you on the spot..."

"..."

Kabuto hung his head.

Of course he wouldn't do anything superfluous.

Right now, Kabuto was very clear that the most important thing he needed to do was to keep a low profile and find a way to be able to meet Dean Nono as soon as possible and tell the Dean the story of Kagura.

If possible, Kabuto wanted Dean Nono and Akihara Kagura, the abandoned child, to clear up their misunderstandings and increase their chances of surviving the future as much as possible.
