Iwagakure Village.
Kabuto Yakushi's temporary residence.
Kabuto Yakushi and Kakashi Hatake sat on opposite sides of the table. The two looked at each other, each feeling that they didn't know enough about Akihara Kagura.
"Kagura and I are both children in an orphanage."
When Kabuto Yakushi said this, he hesitated for a while and continued: "When we were very young, Kagura disappeared for some unknown reason. Everyone thought Kagura was dead, including the dean and I. Completely forgot about him.”
Kabuto Yakushi told the truth.
However, Kabuto Yakushi believes that Akihara Kagura is indeed a child in the orphanage, but disappeared for unknown reasons and was forgotten by everyone.
"I know about it."
Hatake Kakashi really knew these things, and even took the initiative to help Kabuto Yakushi give the answer to the disappearance of Akihara Kagura: "During that period, children continued to disappear in the villages near Konoha. Later, even the children and ninjas in the village disappeared…"
Hatake Kakashi sighed and explained: "Because Orochimaru had been secretly conducting illegal Hashirama cell transplant experiments and abducted many children as experimental materials. The transplant experiment on Kagura was successful, and Successfully awakened Mu Dun..."
"That's true..."
Kabuto Yakushi shook his head helplessly, and continued: "Kagura doesn't think she was kidnapped, she always thought she was sent to the laboratory by the dean... But I know the dean, she will never take the orphan Send the children away from the hospital.”
"Maybe he's too young."
Hatake Kakashi took the initiative to defend his subordinates: "At that time, Kagura's mind was not mature yet, and she relied too much on you, so she was deceived by Orochimaru or Shimura Danzo, thinking that it was Yakushi Nonou who sent him Sent in."
"Maybe that's the case..."
When Kabuto Yakushi said this, he had to lament the strange fate: "After Kagura awakened the Wood Release, he stayed at the root to train. But at that time, we knew nothing about any of this. We didn't know what kind of life he lived. days…”
Kabuto Yakushi once trained his spy skills from the ground up.
Kabuto Yakushi knew very well what kind of life those combatants trained in the Roots lived since childhood. A group of children fought against each other, and only the winner could survive.
"Until five years ago..."
Kabuto Yakushi slowly began to trace the timeline of when he and Dean Yakushi Nonou entered the root, and speculated on Akihara Kagura's thoughts during that time.
"In order to fund the orphanage, Director Noonoyu and I joined the Roots. It was around that time that Akihara Kagura learned about our joining the Roots..."
Kabuto Yakushi recalled the hatred and jealousy on Akihara Kagura that day, and took a deep breath before continuing: "However, we have long forgotten Kagura, and we have never seen Kagura when we were at the root, and we have never I thought of him..."
"Mudun Xueji is top secret."
Hatake Kakashi gave a friendly reminder.
Even a talent of Yamato's level is regarded as a secret weapon by Shimura Danzo; let alone a wood escape genius of Akihara Kagura's level.
"but…"
Kabuto Yakushi slowly adjusted his glasses and mentioned something that made him panic every time he thought about it: "Kagura always remembers us."
"This is normal…"
Hatake Kakashi also understood this very well and took the initiative to answer this question: "Perhaps the life at the root is too depressing, and he will always remember the orphanage..."
"So…"
Kabuto Yakushi raised his head and stared at Kakashi Hatake, as if he wanted to get the answer from him: "Will he hate us for completely forgetting him?"
"..."
A layer of sweat broke out on Hatake Kakashi's forehead.
Hatake Kakashi and Akihara Kagura often perform missions together. He has heard Akihara Kagura explain his Ninja and seen Akihara Kagura save Koso in an extreme way. He determined that Akihara Kagura was There is still kindness deep in the heart shrouded in darkness.
However, Kakashi Hatake thought he knew enough about Akihara Kagura. After hearing Kabuto Yakushi's question, he couldn't help but add a question mark to Akihara Kagura's thoughts.
A child has been in a repressive environment since childhood, and his personality has been influenced by Shimura Danzo to the point where he only commits extreme murders. The only thing that can influence this child is that those who still feel that there is beauty in the world don't even remember him. Already?
"Kagura's personality is quite extreme."
Kakashi Hatake rubbed his brows and felt the difficulty of the matter: "No wonder you always thought he wanted to kill you... But that may not be the case. Maybe Kagura has forgiven you a long time ago?"
Hatake Kakashi recalled Akihara Kagura's words about wanting to kill Yakushi Kabuto, those words suggesting that he wanted to save Yakushi Nonou, and slowly organized his thoughts.
"Kagura has deep feelings for Yakushi Nonou. Although she always talks about wanting to kill you, the purpose should always be to get Yakushi Nonou out of the roots. Yakushi Nonou stays at the roots because of you. Yes, is that right?”
"That's another reason why Kagura wants to kill me."
Kabuto Yakushi's expression gradually became complicated, sometimes showing a hint of shame, sometimes showing a touch of bitterness: "Because the dean has been thinking about letting me leave the darkness of the root, but he has forgotten that there is a child from the orphanage who has stayed at the root since he was a child. , even he was exposed to more darkness and suffering than I was..."
"I got the dean's favor."
Kabuto Yakushi recalled Yakushi Nonou's preference for him, and he couldn't help but feel a touch of warmth in his heart, and quickly felt a sense of guilt: "However, the dean's love has not fallen on Kagura at all. The dean has long forgotten he."
"I see."
Hatake Kakashi immediately understood what Yakushi Kabuto meant, and sighed deeply: "It seems that Kagura's character is not that extreme, and he hasn't killed you yet..."
"Because he's going to end this in a more painful way."
Kabuto Yakushi doesn't seem to mind telling the truth to Hatake Kakashi, a person who actively seeks death. Maybe he also needs someone to talk to, maybe he also needs someone to give him answers.
Kabuto Yakushi spent very little time with Akihara Kagura. He had personally heard Akihara Kagura talk about his jealousy, and he had also seen Akihara Kagura's temperament.
Kabuto Yakushi knew that Akihara Kagura had a child-like nature, and he had feelings for Konoha Orphanage in his heart, but he also had deeper hatred and jealousy.
"Kagura has been planning for Dean and I to kill each other."
Kabuto Yakushi mentioned Akihara Kagura's plan and Shimura Danzo's conspiracy: "Because I left the dean at a very young age, the dean could only understand my life through photos. Shimura Danzo replaced the photos with fake ones. Yes, the dean doesn’t even know me now…”
"Shimura Danzo once mentioned that as long as the dean completes the last task, he will allow me to leave the roots. However, Kagura participated in this conspiracy and mentioned that the dean's last task should be to kill me, a stranger. "
Kabuto Yakushi followed this conspiracy and mentioned Akihara Kagura again: "Kagura has always known about this. He is jealous of the dean's preference for me, and hates the dean for forgetting him..."
Kabuto Yakushi sighed, seeming a little weak: "I have received a new task, and the dean should also have received the same task..."
"If nothing else happens, our mission is to kill each other."
"Now Akihara Kagura has personally rushed to the Kingdom of Earth. The purpose is to see the dean kill me with her own hands, and then tell the dean personally who the person she killed with her own hands is..."
"..."
This plan is so cruel and vicious!
Hatake Kakashi was silent and speechless. He really didn't know enough about Akihara Kagura. This kind of plan would not only kill people, but also kill people's hearts.
Perhaps what Akihara Kagura said all along about wanting to kill Yakushi Kabuto was all true, and that child did have a dark and extreme side in his heart.
"That's it..."
Kakashi Hatake finally understood why Kabuto Yakushi always thought that Akihara Kagura wanted to kill him. Anyone else would think so.
"I thought he always wanted to save you and Yakushi Nonoyu."
Kakashi Hatake shook his head and continued: "In order to rescue Yakushi Nonou, he has always wanted to return to the roots from the Anbu, wanted to continue to serve Shimura Danzo, and was still with Uchiha Itachi Competing for the position of future root leader..."
"That seems contradictory."
Hatake Kakashi raised his doubts: "If Yakushi Nonou really kills you under his control, even if he lets Yakushi Nonou leave his roots in the future, Yakushi Nonou will still hate him. Bar?"
Without waiting for Yakushi Kabuto's answer, Hatake Kakashi answered his own doubts: "No, this is normal, because no matter what he does, he doesn't care about other people's opinions. This guy can kill hundreds of people in the blink of an eye, but he won't explain that his original intention is to save people..."
"This matter is not without a turn, right?"
Hatake Kakashi looked at Yakushi Kabuto and asked proactively: "Since you already know these things, why don't you confess to Yakushi Nonou? As long as Yakushi Nonou knows that you are Yakushi Kabuto, this conspiracy will be useless. Bar?"
Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but become curious: "Speaking of which, when did you know about the conspiracy arranged by Shimura Danzo and Akihara Kagura? The conspiracy hasn't even started yet, and you have already fully understood it..."
"Kagura told me personally."
Kabuto Yakushi thought of the hateful young man and continued: "Because Kagura once said that even if I told the dean the truth, he would kill me with his own hands in front of the dean and let the dean taste the pain. …”
Yakushi Kabuto raised his head and looked at Hatake Kakashi as if he were an idiot: "Akihara Kagura is in the Land of Earth. Even if we crack this conspiracy, what's the use? Senior Kakashi thinks I'm sure Subdue him?"
"I'm not sure either."
Kakashi Hatake remembered the strength of his subordinates and reminded: "Last year we went to Kirigakure Village to perform a reconnaissance mission. Akihara Kagura used Wood Release to defeat the fourth generation Mizukage Goju Yagura of Kirigakure Village, and even He was captured alive and brought back to Konoha..."
"I remember... Gotachibana Yagura is also a three-tailed jinchuriki."
When Kabuto Yakushi heard about Akihara Kagura's achievements, his expression became more and more uneasy.
Kabuto Yakushi once lurked in the Kirigakure Village for a period of time. He was one of the few people who could survive the espionage in the Blood Mist Era. Naturally, he also knew that the Fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura was the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
What else could he do?
A Kage from one of the Five Great Nations' Ninja Villages, and even a Tailed Beast Jinchūriki, were all captured alive by Akihara Kagura using Wood Release. There was no way she could be his opponent...
"It seems that I can only think of other ways..."
Kabuto Yakushi sighed and reached out to pour himself a cup of tea.
"Something seems not quite right."
Hatake Kakashi felt that something was not right, but after listening to Yakushi Kabuto's story, he felt that there was nothing wrong: "It seems that there is nothing wrong. That guy Kagura has such an extreme personality and wants to kill you." It’s a normal thought…”
"Two more days."
Kabuto Yakushi recalled the mission time on the scroll that was getting closer and closer, and sighed softly: "The last time I saw Kagura, Kagura told me that it depends on me whether anyone can stop him from killing people. With luck, maybe we can only hope that the dean can convince him?"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi suddenly fell silent.
If it's so important, why wait until now to talk about it?
Kagura's brat's character, when she really kills someone, she doesn't ask for other people's opinions at all. Hundreds of grass ninjas kill them just as they say, without caring about the consequences!
Most of the time, Akihara Kagura's ideas are indeed extreme.
However, Akihara Kagura's thoughts are in a delicate state. It seems that this guy can kill or not, he will not kill if someone stops him, and he will not kill if no one stops him...
next time…
Try it yourself without stopping?
Hatake Kakashi quickly threw this idea out of his mind, because if he didn't stop him, that guy would definitely kill someone!
"Kagura really wants to kill you, so she won't say such things."
"Based on what I know about him, he likes to kill people, but he will never give up saving people. Even if he stays by Shimura Danzo's side, that child still has kindness shrouded in darkness in his heart."
Hatake Kakashi's eyes were fixed on Yakushi Kabuto, and he carefully asked: "Is there a possibility that Kagura told you these plots personally, not to kill you, but to remind you to be careful of Shimura? What about Danzo’s conspiracy?”
"But…"
Kabuto Yakushi couldn't believe it.
Because on that day, the jealousy and hatred shown by Akihara Kagura were too real.
"certainly."
"There is a greater possibility."
Kakashi Hatake revealed another thought of his subordinates: "Kagura wanted to take revenge on you for forgetting him, and wanted to take revenge on Yakushi Nonou for favoring you, so he participated in this conspiracy, but he didn't know how to do it. I want to kill you..."
"There are still two days left."
Kabuto Yakushi glanced at the calendar on the table: "I have to go to the Tuhe Gorge. I hope everything is as you said. Kagura is just reminding the dean and I to be careful of Shimura Danzo's conspiracy."
Kakashi Hatake asked the question he wanted to know: "Then can you tell me where the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki is?"
"You really don't value life..."
Kabuto Yakushi shook his head and sighed, and continued: "I don't know the specific location...but the place where the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki is imprisoned must not be a place where people gather."
"..."
Hatake Kakashi felt that he had wasted some time, but it could not be regarded as a complete waste.
"I go first."
Yakushi Kabuto put on his Iwa Ninja forehead protector and continued: "Be careful, Iwagakure Village is very strict. You'd better not hide in my residence. If nothing happens in Tuhe Canyon, I will still We must continue to lurk here.”
"..."
Kakashi Hatake had no choice but to accept the proposal.
Are these people with roots so ruthless for their mission?
In comparison, the little guy Akihara Kagura is a bit more humane.
"etc…"
"I almost forgot to remind him..."
Hatake Kakashi suddenly remembered something, there is always more than one danger!
However, when Hatake Kakashi chased him out, he found that he could no longer find Yakushi Kabuto.
"Don't ignore Shimura Danzo's threat. Akihara Kagura may not want to kill you, but Shimura Danzo must have the idea to kill you..."
First update!
The hidden line is basically buried!
