Part Time Employee in Konoha-Chapter 17: Kabuto

Training Ground Nine.

Shimura Danzo remained confident.

However, Danzo soon realized a potential problem: he might face difficulties while teaching Akihara Kagura the Wood Release ninjutsu.

After all, the powerful Wood Release jutsus Danzo had encountered were mostly derived from the jutsus written by the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, in the Scroll of Seals.

But...

There was a significant issue.

When Hashirama performed his ninjutsu, many jutsus only required forming a single specific hand seal, the Serpent/Snake, or didn't need any hand seals at all

What to do now?

It seemed like...

He could only provide Akihara Kagura...

With the name of the jutsu.

Danzo remained very calm.

He calmly formed the Serpent hand seal.

Danzo calmly began instructing Akihara Kagura: "This ninjutsu is also one of the First Hokage's Wood Release jutsus. It also requires just the Serpent hand seal and directly activating your chakra..."

Danzo calmly added details from the scroll: "The effect of this jutsu is to transform the trees in the forest into a huge wooden dragon using the chakra within your body..."

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon jutsu!"

Danzo declared the name of the jutsu in a deep voice!

"..."

Akihara Kagura was completely overwhelmed.

What was this all about?

Was there any difference from when he was taught "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees"?

The same hand seal, the same teaching method...

Just a different name for two different ninjutsu?

Danzo, perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed, didn't directly ask Akihara Kagura if he had learned it but offered some comforting words to the young boy.

"It's okay if you don't get it right away."

Danzo appeared very composed and spoke softly, "This jutsu is harder than Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, you need to practice it slowly on your own..."

"Yes"

Akihara Kagura hesitated, finding it difficult to speak.

"This is not a matter of whether the jutsu is difficult or not!"

"It's your teaching method, Lord Danzo, that's problematic, isn't it?"

However, this bizarre teaching method... was actually recognized by the system!

[System Prompt]: [Ninja Professor] trait activated. The host possesses Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, chakra level at SSS grade, and is learning [Wood Release: Wood Dragon jutsu], which is consistent with ninja theory.

[Wood Release: Wood Dragon jutsu] successfully learned.

[System Prompt]: You have learned a new skill [Wood Release: Wood Dragon jutsu]

[Wood Release: Wood Dragon jutsu (Wood Release Kekkei Genkai Secret jutsu. The user uses their chakra as a life source to transfer chakra to the seeds of trees. Dense trees form a giant wooden dragon with spikes all over its body. It can entangle enemies, with a very strong binding force. Enemies entangled by the wooden dragon will have their chakra absorbed.)]

Although...

I have a learning cheat...

But...

Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say that I've learned it just like that?

After all, there are serious issues with Shimura Danzo's teaching method. If I can learn the Wood Dragon jutsu, it will definitely arouse Danzo's suspicion...

"I'll give it a try..."

Akihara Kagura raised his finger and asked softly, "Lord Danzo, is there a difference in the chakra activation method between the Wood Dragon jutsu and the Advent of a World of Flowering Trees?"

""

Shimura Danzo fell silent, thinking about how to answer.

After all, he neither possesses the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai nor knows these two Wood Release jutsus...

Akihara Kagura sensed that his question had put his superior in a difficult position and immediately thought of a way to remedy it. The best way was undoubtedly to provide his superior with an easy way out!

Akihara Kagura thought for less than three seconds, immediately corrected his question, and gave his superior a way out: "Lord Danzo, the Wood Dragon jutsu might be a bit difficult for me. Are there any other Wood Release jutsus?"

"There are!"

Shimura Danzo seemed to have found a way to step down.

Shimura Danzo immediately regained his confidence and said slowly, "Then I will teach you another Wood Release jutsu, also created by the First Hokage..."

As Shimura Danzo spoke, he subconsciously began to form seals according to what he had read in the Scroll of Seals, still the same Snake hand seal...

"..."

Shimura Danzo's fingers stiffened.

Even Shimura Danzo felt that his teaching method was somewhat excessive.

Shimura Danzo indifferently retracted his finger and scolded, "Practice well during this time. First master the Wood Dragon Jutsu I taught you, then I will teach you new jutsus..."

"..."

Akihara Kagura's expression suddenly turned bizarre.

This is teaching loneliness!

He didn't care about such an awkward way of teaching, so why was Shimura Danzo embarrassed?

After one night, Shimura Danzo's work suddenly became very busy.

Previously, Shimura Danzo had said he would personally train Akihara Kagura, but now he started to make excuses and let Akihara Kagura practice ninjutsu on his own...

After all...

Shimura Danzo also knew that his way of teaching was a bit outrageous.

Shimura Danzo didn't expect Akihara Kagura to learn much with his outrageous teaching method, but just had the members of the Root organization take turns monitoring him to prevent laziness.

For the time being, Shimura Danzo didn't want to meet Akihara Kagura, to avoid the kid asking more questions about Wood Release Ninjutsu.

Until the next time...

He would read the Scroll of Seals again and then answer the child's questions.

This kind of avoidance of subordinates' questions by a superior is not good for Akihara Kagura... If the superior and subordinate don't meet, it can easily lead to a crisis of trust.

But...

This was an opportunity for Akihara Kagura.

Perhaps he could use the excuse of not being able to learn the Wood Dragon Jutsu to get Shimura Danzo to help find the Scroll of Seals!

Naturally.

This situation was not friendly to the members of the Root organization.

With Shimura Danzo absent, Akihara Kagura was unrestrained.

The boy only obeyed Lord Danz's orders and didn't allow other members of the Root organization to call him by his name. Those who dared to refer to Akihara Kagura as "A" would be hung up on a tree.

This became a turn of suffering.

Until a spy, who had just returned to the Root organization's base to report, was ordered by a senior member to take on this difficult task - to go to Training Ground Nine and supervise "A"'s training.

Training Ground Nine.

The ancient forest still stood on this land.

There seemed to be something strange moving in the forest, as if one could always feel the terror that could engulf a person, and a young man wearing glasses cautiously entered the forest.

Whoosh!

A branch suddenly sprang out!

The young man quickly twisted and turned, trying to dodge the attack of the branch, while shouting, "A, I am here on orders..."

The attack of the branch paused...

The next moment, countless branches and roots sprang out!

The young man was instantly tied up and hung upside down on the tree!

A teenager's figure leisurely walked out, calmly approached him, grabbed his head, and asked, "Who told you to use the name given to me by Lord Danzo?"

"How should I address you, then?"

This bespectacled young man was somewhat slick.

"Call me Lord Kagura."

The teenager seemed not to care at all about the root's prohibition and continued to ask, "What's your name? Why have I never seen you at the base?"

"Kabuto."

The bespectacled young man calmly stated his full name.

"Yakushi Kabuto."
