Part Time Employee in Konoha

Chapter 2: Akihara Kagura

Akihara Kagura is a Transmigrator.

In his past life, he was also called Kagura, a not-so-competent employee. Working hard was hardly ever rewarding enough, and Kagura only wanted to find some work to maintain a steady income and a stable life. Such employees, unbound by money, were always a hassle..

Naturally, Kagura always walked the line between jobless and job-yes.

After casually sending out his resume, he received an interview invitation from a strange company, hoping he would come in for a discussion. He agreed.

However, when Kagura woke up, he found himself in a new world as a young man named Akihara Kagura.

Akihara Kagura was one of the orphans adopted by Orochimaru, spending his days in a research facility, primarily responsible for cleaning duties and part-time human experiment material.

Fortunately, Akihara Kagura had a system activated within him that "as long as one works hard, the boss will recognize it," allowing him to gain a characteristic for conducting human experiments.

The name of the system seemed fake, but its use was very real.

As long as Akihara Kagura chose a superior and diligently completed their tasks, he could receive certain task rewards.

If Akihara Kagura wanted to leave this world, there were only two choices: one is for the world to perishleaving the job if the company collapses; the other is to find a way to be fired from this world, continuing to look for work in the next world...

Both seemed quite difficult.

Moreover, Akihara Kagura didn't want to leave immediately. This was a rare life experience. By choosing a superior, the system would also provide a newcomer's welcome package.

Unfortunately,

The new Akihara Kagura could only choose Orochimaru as his superior.

From the newcomer's welcome package, Akihara Kagura obtained a super characteristic called "Science of the Ninja World," allowing him to survive in this highly deadly transplantation of Hashirama cells human experiment with a death rate of over 99% percent.

[Skills]

[Wood Release: Wood Clone (An evolution of the Kekkei Genkai of Wood Release, creating clones from wood. These clones can turn into branches to entangle enemies when destroyed; also, due to Wood Release chakra serving as a source of life, it's harder to distinguish these clones from the real body compared to other cloning techniques, even the more advanced Shadow Clone Technique.)]

[Wood Release: Wood Substitution (An evolution of the Kekkei Genkai of Wood Release, instantly substituting the user with a wooden decoy upon attack.)]

[Wood Release: Wood Transformation (An evolution of the Kekkei Genkai of Wood Release, transforming into another person using Wood Release, harder to detect compared to ordinary transformation techniques.)]

[Markless Healing (Exceptional self-healing ability, capable of healing one's own body without forming hand seals, derived from Hashirama cell transplantation.)]

[Wood Release Kekkei Genkai (The legendary Kekkei Genkai of the god of ninjas, Senju Hashirama, an extremely rare bloodline limit in the ninja world, even the descendants of Senju Hashirama are unable to inherit it, derived from Hashirama cell transplantation.)]

[Science of the Ninja World (When the host conducts human experiments, those that align with the principles of ninja science are guaranteed success, a bonus in the welcome package for new recruits.)]

[Superior: Orochimaru]

It's obvious.

For the system, choosing a good boss is important.

Orochimaru's ability as a superior is all about technology and tough tasks.

According to Akihara Kagura's observations, the system's task rewards are based on the superior's situation. His career in the ninja world might require him to switch jobs multiple times.

Just now, under the guise of losing control, Akihara Kagura tested attacking Orochimaru and found that there were no issues with attacking his own superior, and the system didn't impose any punishment.

Perhaps the system encourages job-hopping?

After all, this kind of labor system seems to require many superiors

No, rather, this exploitative labor system surely encourages Akihara Kagura to work for more superiors.

Akihara Kagura also plans to find another superior in the ninja world because Orochimaru, as a superior, has questionable character and has started to covet his body

"Kagura."

Orochimaru, unaware that the young man before him is already contemplating switching jobs and still planning for the future, needs Akihara Kagura to learn about Wood Release techniques.

"What's next..."

"Go to Konoha."

"I have an ally there."

When Orochimaru mentions his ally, the corners of his mouth curl into a strange smile, "Learn the Wood Release techniques from him and let me see how far you can go..."

"Also, keep an eye on him, my ally."

"Yes."

The young Akihara Kagura agreed, then looked up with some confusion: "Konoha Village, Lord Orochimaru's hometown?"

"...Correct."

Orochimaru nodded slightly, his voice becoming somewhat frivolous, "Go take a look at my hometown, the scenery there is beautiful"

However, the reminiscence in Orochimaru's eyes quickly faded, and he grinned strangely, whispering: "One day, I will return."

Obviously.

Orochimaru bears ill will towards his homeland.

Akihara Kagura is indifferent to this.

As a Transmigrator...Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Akihara Kagura knows a little bit about the affairs of Konoha Village.

Konoha.

The strongest ninja village in the ninja world, and also Orochimaru's hometown, located in the wealthiest Land of Fire, and led by the Hokage.

Orochimaru and his two friends are known as the Three Sannin of Konoha, who have made significant contributions to the village and were even close to becoming Hokage. However, his teacher, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, vetoed him due to his dark heart...

That's unreasonable...

Which ninja in the ninja world is pure-hearted?

As a result, the Third Hokage Hiruzen chose a man as warm and radiant as the sun to become the Fourth Hokage, truly admirable...

Unfortunately...

Not long after the Fourth Hokage's succession, the Nine-Tails' disturbance broke out in Konoha, and he sacrificed himself to resolve it...

However...

Orochimaru's opportunity did not come; instead, he faced a crisis.

The Third Hokage rejected all candidates, took charge again, discovered Orochimaru's secret human experiments, and personally led the Anbu to capture Orochimaru...

Orochimaru had no choice but to flee from Konoha and became a wanted rogue ninja, once a hot candidate for Hokage, he became an S-class rogue ninja...

Orochimaru's deviation was the main reason, but his ally in Konoha also had to bear some blame...

That ally...

Certainly was no good person...

Orochimaru wanted to send Akihara Kagura to that ally, which for Akihara Kagura was an opportunity to get into the ranks of Konoha.

This is about the ranks!

The ranks of the Five Great Official Institutions of the ninja world!
