Konoha Village.

Two figures on a long journey walked into the village.

It was Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki, who had returned from several years of cultivation.

Naruto Uzumaki reached out and dropped his bag and stepped all the way up the pole, standing on a tall and stout pole overlooking the scenery of Konoha Village.

"I miss it so much..."

Naruto Uzumaki stretched out his arms, his face nostalgic for the scenery here: "There really hasn't changed much in the village!" ”

"Tsk..."

Jiraiya touched his chin.

"Naruto!"

Sakura Haruno, who had already become a slender girl, ran over with the three little ghosts of the Konohamaru team, they were all Naruto Uzumaki's little followers in the village, and at this time they had also become the village's shinobi.

"Sakura-chan!"

Naruto Uzumaki jumped off the telephone pole, and the joy of seeing his old friend immediately overflowed on his face: "Long time no see, Sakura..."

“……”

Sakura Haruno stares at Naruto Uzumaki, who has grown up.

The yellow-haired young man in front of him looked very calm, and he didn't look like he jumped out of his childhood at all, as if he had changed in two or three years.

"Brother Naruto, the art of seduction!"

Konohamaru proudly performed the seduction technique taught to him by Naruto Uzumaki, transformed into a black-haired woman who did not have an inch, and made a flying kiss to everyone!

"How?"

Konohamaru triumphantly showed off: "How's it going?" How about it, Brother Naruto, this is sexy and bewitching enough, right? ”

"Konohamaru, I'm not a kid anymore..."

Naruto Uzumaki chuckled like an adult, and persuaded softly, "Don't play this kind of ninjutsu, that kind of ninjutsu is too low-level..."

Konohamaru lowered his head in some disappointment, and a heavy atmosphere appeared around everyone, and they were all a little stunned by the passage of time.

Truly...

Little kids will grow up...

However, in the next second, Naruto Uzumaki's steady temperament disappeared without a trace, and he clenched his fists violently: "Your color seduction technique is too hot enough, let you see the new color seduction technique I developed!" ”

After saying that, Naruto Uzumaki planned to show Konohamaru the new color seduction technique he had developed in his cultivation!

Boom!

Sakura Haruno was so angry that she punched people away!

When it's very busy here, it's quiet on the other side.

Two hooded figures passed by them, and the two men seemed not interested in the farce next to them, and walked intently past the place.

"Huh?"

Naruto Uzumaki was bleeding from his nose, but he looked back curiously, as if a familiar face flashed, "Hey, wait..."

"Shh

Sakura Haruno raised her fingers and hurriedly stopped Naruto Uzumaki from provoking those two guys: "Don't talk, those two are wearing hooded cloaks and have the logo of the root on their backs, they are the ninjas of the roots, don't provoke them!" ”

"Roots?"

Naruto Uzumaki remembered Root and Akihara Kagura, and asked in surprise, "I remember if it wasn't Kagura's subordinates..."

"Yes."

Haruno Sakura's expression became solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "The current root is the most powerful department in the village, and even took over the power of the police force in the past, supervising all the ninjas in the village, and can directly arrest people at any time..."

“……”

Jiraiya's brow furrowed slightly.

"Let's go see Tsunade-sama first."

There was some worry in Sakura's eyes.

The other side.

Two hooded figures were still whispering to each other.

One of them took off his hood and asked with a chuckle, "Sasuke, how does it feel to see an old friend?" ”

"Hmph..."

The other person still refused to take off his hood, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he snorted contemptuously: "That guy... Sure enough, it's still an idiot..."

"Let's go, let's go back to the roots."

Yakushidou smiled and returned to the roots with Sasuke Uchiha.

Originally, they didn't need to pass through here, but they just happened to see Naruto Uzumaki and Jiraiya returning to the village, so they simply walked from here as well.

However...

Inside the root base.

When Akihara Kagura saw Sasuke Uchiha, he beckoned him to take off his coat, revealing the curse mark on the back of his neck: "Okay, you have passed the trial, let me see the curse mark that Orochimaru-sama left on you..."

"Huh?"

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Akihara Kagura with some curiosity.

All along, the curse mark has been of great help to him, able to greatly enhance the power of the spell, and Uchiha Sasuke did not feel the danger lurking in the spell mark.

"Eliminate evil seals."

Akihara Kagura stretched out his palm and injected his chakra into the curse mark, and the chakra of the curse mark immediately turned into a long snake and came out of it.

The long snake opened its mouth violently!

Orochimaru's body crawled out of this long snake, and when he saw Akihara Kagura in front of him, his eyes suddenly froze, and there was a faint speculation in his heart that was not very good.

"What's going on?"

Uchiha Sasuke's heart was shocked!

Because he personally killed the Great Snake Pill and devoured the Great Snake Pill's chakra, why can the Great Snake Pill be resurrected in this way!

"This battle is also a trap for Orochimaru-sama."

Akihara Kagura glanced at Orochimaru, who was standing next to him, and took the initiative to talk to Sasuke Uchiha next to him: "Because there is a curse mark on your body, Orochimaru-sama has never been killed by you, and it is lurking in your body, and the reincarnation of the corpse requires the consent of the caster to be perfectly reincarnated, and he can always hide in your body and wait for an opportunity to devour your body..."

"You guy, it's a good thing to ruin me..."

Orochimaru took a deep breath, filled with dissatisfaction with Akihara Kagura.

Because after Orochimaru failed to seize Uchiha Sasuke's body, he directly lurked in Uchiha Sasuke's body, and wanted to take away Uchiha Sasuke's body through Akihara Kagura's words, but he didn't expect to be pulled out by Akihara Kagura just when he hid.

“！！！”

Sasuke Uchiha was about to pull out his ninja sword.

"Alright."

Akihara Kagura pressed Uchiha Sasuke's palm and opened his mouth to order: "When I arranged for you to go to Orochimaru-sama's side, it was to prepare for the trial, I guessed this situation, so I asked you to kill Orochimaru-sama quickly and return to Konoha..."

"Wait..."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and swirled back and forth on the faces of Sasuke Uchiha and Kagura Akihara: "Kagua-kun, I have a question, I took Sasuke away from Konoha at the beginning..."

How do these two guys get together?

What exactly does Akibara Kagura mean by that arrangement?

"I arranged it in advance."

Akihara Kagura nodded, and did not deny the matter: "Sasuke was the one who arranged for him to agree to defect and serve as a spy by your side, and always report your whereabouts to me..."

"This is to prevent Orochimaru-sama from believing in Dou, so I arranged for Sasuke to be another assistant hidden by your side..."

"What a good idea..."

Orochimaru laughed angrily, but he didn't know what to say.

But...

Probably through a worse past...

Orochimaru's heart didn't feel so desperate.

"It's just a small gesture."

Akihara Kagura shook his head, raised his palm, reached out and slapped a curse mark of his own on Sasuke Uchiha's shoulder: "My curse mark should be safer than Orochimaru-sama's spell mark, you should be able to master it soon, the purpose of letting you leave Orochimaru-sama's curse mark is to avoid being suspected by Orochimaru-sama, you can adapt to it yourself, and ask others if you don't understand..."

"Yes."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded slowly.

"You go down first."

Akihara Kagura waved his hand at Sasuke Uchiha and took the initiative to say, "In the afternoon, I will arrange a trial for you, and then arrange a new mission for you..."

"Yes."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and made his request: "When can I go and kill Uchiha Itachi, that guy's information..."

"On the next mission, you might meet that guy."

Akihara Kagura's words made Uchiha Sasuke's heart tighten.

"Yes!"

A hint of fighting spirit appeared in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, as if he remembered something again, and continued: "There are two other guys in Orochimaru's base, Oni Lantern Mizugetsu and Shigego, I think those two guys are very suitable to be..."

"You can do it yourself."

Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Sasuke, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he drew a big pie directly at Uchiha Sasuke: "I heard that you and Xiang Phosphorus are going to compete for the position of the future leader of the roots, because you have completed this mission well, Sasuke, from today onwards, you have the qualifications to compete with Xiang Phosphorus for this position..."

"If you become the leader of the root in the future, you must also have your own team, but don't tell them in advance of the root, let them follow you!"

"Yes!"

Uchiha Sasuke's heart immediately had a bottom.

Now it seems that after his first mission, the leader of Akihara Kagura treated him differently, and even allowed him to participate in the competition for the position of future root leader...

"Alright, you go get used to the spell seals."

Akihara Kagura waved his hand to let Uchiha Sasuke leave here, and said softly, "Kazo has developed the spell mark to the extreme, don't fall behind your opponent." ”

"Yes."

Uchiha Sasuke's palm clenched suddenly.

The future position of the Root Leader must be in his pocket!

But...

The competitive pressure is not small.

Because Xiang Phosphorus was raised by the leader Akihara Kagura since he was a child, he showed a good talent when he was in the ninja school, and he has always been behind Xiang Phosphorus...

"Kagura-kun, your methods are getting more and more terrifying..."

After Orochimaru watched Uchiha Sasuke leave, he grinned and said, "I didn't promise anything, but I seem to have done a lot for him..."

"I've done a lot for him..."

Akihara Kagura shook his head with a smile, and his gaze fell on Orochimaru's body: "Of course, I have done a lot to help Orochimaru-sama..."

"Don't be so pretended."

Orochimaru sneered, not believing Akihara Kagura's words at all.

"Peace of mind."

Akihara Kagura hurriedly comforted his allies and said softly: "After Uchiha Sasuke kills Uchiha Itachi, I will not be involved in the affairs of you and Sasuke in the future..."

As long as...

At that time...

Orochimaru can still defeat Sasuke's words.

"Orochimaru-sama, an even bigger storm is coming."

Akihara Kagura looked at Orochimaru and said softly: "This wind and wave will flood the entire ninja world, if you want to leave the roots, I am worried that you may encounter accidents, it just so happens that you stay in the roots to rest for a while, if you want to do experiments, go to the pocket and fragrant phosphorus..."

Akihara Kagura sighed and said softly: "The ninja world has spread the news that you were killed by Sasuke, you are already in your fifties this year, you raised me at the beginning, and now it is my turn to provide for you..."

“……”

Orochimaru's narrow eyes flashed with coldness.

This bastard provides for himself?

Orochimaru is worried that he won't live to be sixty years old!

He is only in his early fifties, his body is still very strong, and he is not yet the age of retirement, and this guy wants to imprison himself in the roots!

"I mean really."

There was a hint of sincerity in Akihara Kagura's eyes, and she continued softly, "Because I received information about the Akatsuki organization, they are about to start the operation..."

"Xiao?"

Orochimaru's eyes immediately became vigilant, and he quickly thought of one more thing: "Wait, I remember that you guy and Nagato still colluded..."

"Hmm..."

Akihara Kagura nodded, sighed and said, "In the afternoon, I will go to the Hokage Building for a meeting, and in the evening, I will have to leave Konoha and go to the base of the Akatsuki organization, and discuss with Senior Brother Nagato about the implementation of the plan of the Akatsuki organization..."

"You have a lot of positions..."

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Orochimaru's mouth.

This smile is a satire on the collusion between Akihara Kagura and various forces in the ninja world.

"There's no way around it..."

Akihara Kagura reached out and picked up the forehead guard on the table and calmly put it on his forehead: "However, as long as the real plan is implemented, these burdens can be taken off immediately..."

First update!

Somewhat late!
