Naruto: Assistant to the Hokage

Danzo-sama!

The Uchiha's gaze froze!

Itachi had heard this name before.

Once when he himself was accompanying Uchiha Shisui to participate in an escort mission, he met a seriously injured ninja, and from that seriously injured ninja, he learned that Danzo had done things that jeopardized the Konoha, and he was even besieged by Danzo's subordinates because of it, and in the end, that seriously injured ninja was still killed, and in order to avoid any strife in the Konoha, all of this was left unsettled.

Itachi later learned of Shimura Danzo's identity, he knew that Shimura Danzo held the status of Hokage close advisor, claiming a high position of power.

This Boy...

He's under Danzo-sama command?

How come all of Danzo-sama subordinates were a bunch of bad guys, this boy obviously looked about the same age as himself, and even this group of lower ninjas taking the exam had to be deceived!

"Why is your face so ugly?"

Kagura looked at Itachi face and suddenly laughed softly, "It seems that you also know Lord Danzo, and you seem to be a little dissatisfied with him?"

"No..."

Itachi shook his head quickly, his face slowly easing up, "I just don't quite understand a bit, why did you deceive them?"

"Hm? Why?"

Kagura bow his head, seemingly pondering the strange question, "I just wanted to reduce the number of competitors taking the exam a bit, so it's not strange to use a little bit of trickery, right? Aren't ninjas always willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals?"

"..."

Itachi was speechless.

This genius of the Uchiha clan only pondered for a second, and suddenly said, "But the village won't let this happen, there's no way that there's only two of us candidates for this Chunin exam, the exam should be delayed for a while now..."

"Tsk..."

Kagura looked at the empty room, and his mood seemed to become a bit more leisurely, "Maybe, but there are fewer people here, so I can relax a bit."

Hokage Building.

A screen was set up in Hokage's office.

These display screens were showing everything that had happened in the waiting area of the written examination for the Chunin Examination, and a group of Konoha executives were dumbfounded as they watched Akihara Kagura's godly maneuver.

"It's a very smart kid!"

Third Generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to laugh out loud, and even commented with interest, "It's amazing that this kind of thing could happen in the Chunin Exam..."

"Ugh..."

"That's not good..."

"What's wrong with this kid!"

"In that case, there will only be two candidates for the entire Chunin Exam!"

"This will make the village lose face in front of the other Shinobi villages!"

"How can this exam go on when there are even fewer candidates taking the exam than the examiners invigilating it! Someone must be sent to stop this quickly!"

The two Hokage advisors sitting next to each other discussed it in a chorus, these two didn't think that Kagura's maneuver was funny, but rather that this could cause chaos.

"What do you think, Danzo?"

Sarutobi asked as his gaze went to his old friend, "This is the kid from your class, what's his name?"

"Let's get someone to stop this first..."

Shimura Danzo coldly didn't want to pay any attention to Sarutobi's flirtation, and continued on his own, "Even when the best want to show off their power, they need someone to set them off a bit."

"And feet of thunder."

Sarutobi looked towards the group of Jonins Ninjas waiting for their orders and named Raïto, "You're the examiner for the first exam of the Chunin Selection, it's up to you to solve this accident."

"Yes."

Raïto stepped forward and nodded respectfully.

Raïto face still bore scars from the war time and looked a bit scary, but he was a man who spoke and acted somewhat gently.

"Although I think that there are only two candidates left in the entire examination room, and that would be in line with the significance of the Chunin selection, but ultimately, this is an examination that needs to be scaled..."

Looking at the Konoha executives present who seemed to recognize his proposal, Raïto continued, "I propose that Uchiha Itachi and Kou pass straight through to the second round."

"Among them, Kou deceived all the candidates, only Uchiha Itachi didn't fall for it, both of them are lower ninjas who took the exam alone, there should be no need to test their will on the last question, as for the other lower ninjas who were deceived and fell for it, reschedule the exam."

"Maybe."

Third hokage nodded in satisfaction.

"You right."

The two Hokage advisors also nodded in satisfaction.

"We are ok with that."

After Danzo, he reminded again, "And Sufficient Raïto, don't call him Kou in front of that child, just call him Akihara Kagura."

"Huh?"

Raïto glanced at Shimura Danzo with some confusion, and carefully inquired, "But on the list for the Chunin Exam, the name he wrote was Kou..."

"That's what he wrote himself."

Danzo was a little worried that Raito name for Akihara Kagura was causing trouble, and reminded, "Only I can address him as Kou. You can just address him as Akihara Kagura."

After all...

That kid was always prone to getting into trouble over a title.

However, on the Chunin Exam registration form, that child honestly wrote Kou. Danzo no longer wondered if that child didn't want to use the name Kou.

"Yes..."

Raïto could only agree.

Hokage building downstairs.

A group of shinobi were trying to find the notice of the new examination center.

However, this group of shinobi soon received the news that they had been tricked, and the group was about to curse, but instead they were scolded by the examiner.

"You can fall for such a simple transformation technique!"

The scar on the left side of his face trembled with anger as he looked at the group of lower ninja who were still trying to curse, "You group of examiners are truly the worst class that Konoha has ever had!"

"..."

A group of under-ninja didn't dare to say anything.

After taking Tenzo with him to finish his ramen, Kakashi, the flagpole, saw a group of lower ninja running by glaring angrily at him, and there were even some who wanted to get into a fistfight.

This group of shinobi...

Why were they hostile to him?

"Hey, calm down guys!"

Someone stopped this group of lower ninjas with a loud voice and scolded in a deep voice, "This is the real Hatake Kakashi Jonin ninja, you guys who were tricked quickly go back to the examination room!"

"Is something wrong?"

Tenzo inquired with some curiosity.

Raïto glanced at Kakashi, a little less than kindly, "A candidate named Akihara Kagura, transformed into the Kakashi-senpai, knocked out the Chunin test who was maintaining order, and drove away all of the Chunin candidates in the examination hall!"

"..."

Kakashi's forehead jumped.

What the hell was wrong with that brat? In the morning, he was still smearing the Anbu at Ichiraku Ramen, so how come it's only been a short while and he's starting to hold black pots over him again?

On the other side.

A group of lower ninja candidates were still hard at work catching up.

Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi had also learned of the news that they had passed the first round of the written exam without examination, and that they could rush to the location of the second exam early.

"It's a bit of a shame..."

Kagura seemed to still be a bit upset, "This was the only one that might have prevented me from passing the exam, and I still have a lot of cheats that I haven't used!"

"Cheating?"

Itachi was a little less understanding, as he had been a student since he was a child, and asked with some curiosity, "The written exams are all very simple...why do you need to cheat?"

"In this world, what you think is easy is hard for others."

Kagura glanced deeply at the Uchiha, as if to memorize the other's expression at the moment.
