Chapter 36: What did that Bastard told you?

"Wood Release Kekkei Genkai may not be of much use against the Eye of the Moon Plan."

The mysterious masked man seemed not to like the power of Wood Release, and spoke coldly, "I have also awakened the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, and I do not think it is stronger than the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"..."

That must be because your Wood Release is too weak!

The pitcher plant monster knew this well, but did not plan to argue with the mysterious masked man. They knew that his Mangekyo Sharingan was indeed more powerful than his Wood Release.

"Alright."

There seemed to be two wills existing within the pitcher plant monster.

The black half of the face on the head of the pitcher plant monster slightly moved its mouth, and spoke in a somewhat hoarse and gloomy voice, "It just so happens we are in Konoha, let's observe that Wood Release kid's talent. The Eye of the Moon Plan needs a number of strong helpers, one more person is always useful..."

"Besides, I just went to the Forest of Death in Konoha to observe."

"Although I didn't see that kid use Wood Release, the forest still retained a strong life energy, proving that the kid's Wood Release is not useless."

"That's good."

"If that kid really is useful... A kid full of darkness and flaws, for me, is too easy to deal with."

The mysterious masked man did not look at the pitcher plant monster beside him, and carelessly raised his hand, clenching it into a fist, "I have a piece in my hand that can deal with him. Just a little trick, and he will be abandoned and have nowhere to go..."

"Oh?"

The pitcher plant monster became somewhat curious.

"Some time ago, someone sneaked into the Mist Village and I noticed it was Aburame Tatsuma, a subordinate of Shimura Danzo. I caught him with my own hands."

The mysterious masked man spoke of his plan with an unavoidably proud tone, "As long as I use Wood Release ninjutsu to kill Aburame Tatsuma, and then throw the body for the people of Konoha to find, I can frame it on that kid, Akihara Kagura..."

Theoretically speaking, this plan is somewhat simple.

If it really is implemented, there is a high chance of achieving the goal, because not many people in the ninja world have the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.

"The remaining time is just to continue observing that kid."

The mysterious masked man eventually nodded and snorted coldly, "I also happen to observe how the seed I left two years ago has grown..."

"Uchiha Itachi, huh?"

The white half-face on the head of the pitcher plant monster suddenly revealed a strange smile, "Back then, you personally killed Uchiha Itachi's teammate, awakening the Sharingan in that young one. To awaken the Two Tomoe Sharingan on the first try, his talent is not bad either..."

"So, I spared his life."

The mysterious masked man nodded, speaking with an air of having everything under control, "That young one, Uchiha Itachi, has the potential to awaken the Mangeky Sharingan. Just a little stimulation, and his Sharingan could evolve further."

"Hehehe, what a coincidence!"

The white half-face of the pitcher plant monster seemed to remember something and suddenly became excited, "Just perfect, the Chunin Exam is happening in Konoha, and both Uchiha Itachi and Akihara Kagura are participating!"

"It's the Anbu directly under the Hokage."

Shimura Danzo coldly pointed out the difference and continued, "Just as the Root division is loyal to me, the members of Anbu are loyal to the Hokage"

"Wait a minute"

Akihara Kagura's expression suddenly changed, almost in disbelief as he looked up at Danzo: "Lord Danzo, why suddenly transfer me to Anbu? Is this... you don't want me to continue in Root... don't want me to stay by your side anymore?"

Akihara Kagura seemed completely unaware of his own actions, his eyes desperately showing a hint of shock, and even a hint of anger: "Did someone complain about me to Lord Danzo? I only left the base for a day"

When Akihara Kagura reached this point, he attempted to squeeze out two tears of grievance but failed, continuing sadly, "If it's because of those guys, I can promise you that I won't associate with them anymore"

"It's not your fault!"

Shimura Danzo interrupted him impatiently.

Although it was indeed this kid's fault...

Wasn't it because this kid was too over-the-top during the exam?

But

This kid looked so pitiful

And still held loyalty to himself.

However

He wasn't without options.

This child would become his pawn in the Anbu!

"A, don't be sad."

Shimura Danzo suddenly reached out, touching Akihara Kagura's shoulder, and asked seemingly casually, "Will you still obey my orders after joining the Anbu?"

"Of course."

Akihara Kagura nodded quickly.

When a superior asks such a question casually, it means they need a firm attitude from you. Besides quickly responding, you also need to show your determination!

But

That's still not enough!

The best approach, of course, would be to speak ill of your superior's arch-enemy!

Akihara Kagura frowned, a bit curiously, "By the way, I ran into the Third Hokage tonight. He kept talking to me about Lord Danzo..."

"Hmm?"

Shimura Danzo's expression immediately turned ugly, and he coldly asked, "What did that Bastar... the Third Hokage told you?"
