Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: New Boss, Looking Forward to a Pleasant Partnership

This little brat...

What a strong mind!

Uchiha Obito was somewhat inexplicably surprised.

According to the laws of the Ninja World, there is no communication between a clone and the main body, only when the clone is dispelled does the main body receive any messages.

Did that little brat anticipate that once the Wood Clone was trapped and absorbed into this space, tonight's situation would inevitably occur?

This little brat...

When did he find out that my Dojutsu was related to a space!

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone seemed to guess Uchiha Obito's thoughts and smiled as he asked, "You're wondering how I cracked your Dojutsu, right?"

"Yes..."

Uchiha Obito slowly nodded.

"Shh..."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone raised a finger to his lips and whispered, "Don't speak to avoid letting others notice we are communicating here. I also need you to nod from time to time to send signals to the main body outside..."

"..."

Uchiha Obito could only nod.

Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Obito with satisfaction and answered his query, "I just made a bold assumption that anything in the world, if not destroyed, cannot disappear without a trace and will reappear somewhere..."

"Now..."

"Let's get back to the main topic."

"I'll ask, you nod or shake your head."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone slowly asked the first question, "You knew I wanted to kill Naruto Uzumaki to cause trouble, so you've been watching me, right?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito nodded.

At this moment, Uchiha Obito found this scene somewhat familiar.

"Second question."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone looked at him and continued to ask, "Last night you killed Aburame Ryuma to create discord between me and Lord Danzo, didn't you?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito quickly nodded.

"You nodded too fast, you're trying to trick me."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone was not satisfied with this answer and continued to ask, "It seems that killing Aburame Ryuma wasn't to create discord between me and Lord Danzo, but to force me to betray Konoha. You want me to become a Traitorous Ninja, right?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito's eyes widened!

"I guessed right."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone seemed very certain about his answer and continued, "Since you want me to become a Traitorous Ninja rather than secretly kill me, there must be something you need me for, are you in need of the power of the Wood Release within me?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito's eyes turned somewhat grave.

"I already know."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone looked at Uchiha Obito with great satisfaction and continued softly, "If you truly want me to be your ally, just nod slightly... For someone who possesses a Mangekyo Sharingan, to need a helper as strong as me, I'm already curious about what you want to accomplish."

"..."

Uchiha Obito slowly nodded.

This little brat really likes to praise himself!

If not for his Dojutsu secret being discovered, if not for this brat laying traps during battle, he would only be a puppet in his palm!

Moreover...

What exactly is this little brat thinking? Trying to gather intelligence on him for Konoha? Or simply driven by a pure curiosity about the unknown?

No...

This is an extremely radical madman!

Because this little brat named Akihara Kagura even tried to create a big fuss by killing Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki, clearly, loyalty to Konoha Village isn't that strong!

In any case...

As long as he can successfully escape tonight!

Uchiha Obito already understood Akihara Kagura's intentions and also knew that this little brat's mind wasn't normal; he could indeed become a very useful ally in the future.

Uchiha Obito was just a little unhappy that this little brat had exposed his identity and learned the secret of his Mangekyo Sharingan Dojutsu.

"By the way, my new boss."

"Don't think you have leverage over me."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone seemed to guess Uchiha Obito's thoughts and continued, "If you leak the news about my secret allegiance to you or do anything that causes discord between us, I'll reveal the secret of your Mangekyo Sharingan Dojutsu to others..."

"..."

Uchiha Obito's face darkened as he nodded.

This secret wouldn't become his shackle, just a slight inconvenience, and with more caution in the future, he wouldn't fall into today's predicament again.

However...

How dare this little brat speak to him with such attitude!

Clearly, just a little brat, clearly a subordinate meant to be used as a pawn, yet this brat acted as if he himself were the one in the superior position!

"Hmm?"

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone noticed Uchiha Obito's displeasure but didn't care, squinting a little and smiling as he consoled him.

"Don't be upset..."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone's smile was somewhat warm as he gently advised, "You should be happy about having embedded a mole in Konoha... I am a person with great sincerity, at least I'm not attacking you right now, isn't the main body outside showing no effort at all?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito still felt a little stifled inside.

If this little brat's Wood Clone attacked him too, forcing him to deal with the brat's main body and Kakashi's conjoint efforts in the real world, it would indeed be a huge problem...

As for the identity of a mole...

Uchiha Obito wasn't particularly concerned either.

Because he could eavesdrop on information anytime through the Venus Flytrap Monster.

"A mole can be very useful."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone smiled even more radiantly, and after achieving his purpose, he started painting a grand picture for his new boss, "You've exposed your identity in Konoha today, and the Konoha will definitely hunt for your information, and I just happen to be part of Konoha Anbu, I can convey information to you anytime, letting you know Konoha's movements..."

"Because I was the first to discover your whereabouts, delaying your departure and exposing your identity, the high officials of Konoha would absolutely not suspect me of having any connection with you, they might even have me participate in the team that hunts you..."

"Think about it..."

"With me as the mole in the future..."

"Whatever you want the high officials of Konoha to know, we can make them know... Whatever we don't want them to know, they'll never find out!"

"..."

This kind of mole is indeed very tempting!

Uchiha Obito unconsciously nodded.

At this moment, he felt that what Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone said made a lot of sense.

The only somewhat uncomfortable thing for Uchiha Obito was that Akihara Kagura could indeed become a successful spy in Konoha, and tonight's achievements were all attributed to him...

"Alright."

"Here's to hoping for our successful cooperation."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone slowly sat up straight and said with a smile, "Now what you should do is capture Naruto Uzumaki and let the people outside think that you were the one who wanted to kill the Nine-tails tonight, taking the blame for me..."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone spoke slowly, "You killed Aburame Ryuma, made me take the blame once, and now you want to recruit me as a subordinate, so taking the blame once to clear any grudges in my heart is only fair..."

"Just so happens..."

"I can also inform them about the chaos you created with the Nine-tails, anyway, with the Nine-tails Chakra turmoil within Naruto, it can't be hidden for long, I might as well say it and gain greater trust from Konoha."

"..."

Uchiha Obito was a bit reluctant to nod.

However, he also knew that everything Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone said was correct.

"Contact me again after you leave."

Akihara Kagura's Wood Clone slowly sat up straight and said, "Now, use your most powerful Wood Release in the battle, my main body will start assisting you in escaping from Konoha..."
