“This is an internal matter of your clan.
When the village was founded, Lord Hashirama promised every clan that he wouldn’t interfere in internal clan affairs…
so…”
So, he could only take the beating for nothing.
“Your current residence was arranged by Lord Tobirama,” Akimichi Torifu added.
“Oh?” Shimura Danzo’s eyes lit up.
Everything…
seemed to be connecting.
No wonder people from the Shimura clan were nowhere to be seen in the original series.
Was it a case of “I’ll bear this grudge, and once I’m powerful, I’ll kill you all.jpg”??
Did I wipe out the Shimura clan myself??
Hmm, it’s very likely.
Shimura Danzo’s dark personality was probably caused by the repeated blows from everyone around him.
A person, especially a youth, is easily influenced in character.
To encounter such a massive upheaval at such a young age and face the dark side of society…
it would be a miracle if the person turned out well!
Also…
no wonder Shimura Danzo worshipped and respected Senju Tobirama so much; so that was why.
Senju Tobirama had provided help in his hour of need, making Danzo feel deeply grateful and swearing to follow him forever.
In that endless darkness, Senju Tobirama was Shimura Danzo’s light.
From then on, Shimura Danzo completely inherited Tobirama’s will.
Even after Tobirama’s death, Danzo tirelessly wanted to eliminate the Uchiha.
Senju Tobirama’s ideas of global hegemony and dominating the ninja world were also inherited by Shimura Danzo.
To hell with Senju Hashirama’s thoughts on peace!
“Good!
Good!
Good!” Shimura Danzo was so excited he could hardly contain himself.
Seeing Danzo’s excited state, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Akimichi Torifu were momentarily stunned, thinking: *Could those Shimura clansmen have beaten Danzo into idiocy?* They both cast pitying looks at him.
“My path to a counter-attack begins today!” Shimura Danzo ignored their gazes and pointed directly to the sky.
Think about it: he was nine years old, his grandfather died before he was born, his father died when he was a few years old, and he grew up under the cold eyes of his clan, suffering great humiliation.
He had mediocre talent, and his chakra nature was so tragic he only had the Wind attribute.
Aside from inheriting the surname “Shimura,” there seemed to be nothing noteworthy about him.
And suddenly, he had awakened the “Stronger While Sleeping System.” Oh crap, this was the textbook definition of a protagonist’s counter-attack template.
“I, Shimura Danzo, shall defy the heavens!” Shimura Danzo made a chuunibyou declaration with a dead serious face.
Sarutobi Hiruzen: “…”
Akimichi Torifu: “…”
…
After learning he had the protagonist template, Shimura Danzo was in a great mood.
He wasn’t even sleepy anymore and started humming a tune right in class.
“Today is a good day~♪, a good day, a good day~♪…”
“Danzo!” Teacher Yumiko looked over, her pretty face stern.
“Ah~ no need, Teacher, I’ll do it myself.” Shimura Danzo held out his hand, signaling Teacher Yumiko to save her breath and not finish her sentence.
The class watched as Shimura Danzo stood up arrogantly from his seat, walked with a swagger, and strolled toward the classroom entrance.
“A good day~♪, today is a good day~♪.”
As the door closed with a *click*, Shimura Danzo went to the hallway to stand as punishment of his own accord.
“This guy…” Teacher Yumiko glared at the door, gritting her teeth.
Her beautiful face was covered in frost.
She was furious!
…
After school, Yumiko stopped Danzo to give him a private lecture.
“Danzo, you should be clear about the trouble you’ve caused…” The sun was setting, and the orange glow of dusk shone through the window into the office.
Shimura Danzo stood before his homeroom teacher, listening to the lecture.
“Normally, I can tolerate the things you do, but this time…” A look of disappointment flashed in Yumiko’s eyes.
“You actually provoked the Uchiha clan.
Do you know what the consequences of doing that will be?”
Yumiko let out a sigh.
From now on, Danzo’s days would likely be difficult…
school bullying…
even pressure from colleagues after graduation.
Although sunlight can shine on the earth, it undoubtedly creates shadows as well.
“Hmph!” Danzo gave a cold snort, the fire of unyielding determination in his eyes.
“The Uchiha clan?
So what?
Does the Uchiha clan have the right to be tyrannical?
My strength is currently very low, and everyone looks down on me, but…” Shimura Danzo gritted his teeth, took a stance, and spoke a very famous quote from his previous life.
“Thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west bank—do not mock a youth for being poor!”
Hearing this, Yumiko’s body trembled.
As a person of the ninja world, where would she have ever heard such a famous saying?
Instantly, she was stunned by the aura Danzo emitted.
In this moment, Danzo’s small figure became exceptionally tall.
His whole being seemed to be glowing.
Could it be…
that she really had been wrong about him before?
“Teacher, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back now…” Shimura Danzo cupped his hands respectfully and turned to leave.
When he reached the door, he turned his head and explained: “…because I need to continue ‘sleeping’ to get stronger.”
“SHI!
MU!
RA!
DAN!
ZO!”
One moment Yumiko thought this child was a diamond in the rough, and the next she started throwing things.
“Waaaaahhh~~!!” Danzo didn’t know what had made this woman go crazy; he could only flee for his life.
…
Ten minutes later.
“Man, they say a woman’s heart is a needle at the bottom of the ocean.
I finally saw it today; her face changes faster than the weather…” Shimura Danzo, having escaped Yumiko’s pursuit, walked down the street.
He walked along the road, passing a small river and then a park.
About twenty minutes later, he arrived at his “home.” It was a very simple house located on the edge of Konoha, surrounded by trees and peaceful scenery.
According to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Akimichi Torifu, this house was arranged for him by Senju Tobirama.
Danzo, who had high living skills, had added a fence around it.
In Konoha, the one thing not in short supply was wood.
After enclosing a large yard with the fence, Danzo divided it into several areas.
He grew some vegetables and raised some chickens and ducks.
“Eat more, eat more…” Danzo threw prepared shredded vegetable leaves into the enclosure, watching the chickens and ducks run over to peck at them.
Afterward, he collected the chicken and duck eggs to use as food.
Danzo went to the field to pull a cabbage and get some taro, starting to prepare dinner.
He actually quite enjoyed this pastoral life.
“I just haven’t learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu yet…
it’s exhausting…” Danzo held two kitchen knives, performing a “Whirlwind Slash” like a tiger.
If he had the Shadow Clone Jutsu, he wouldn’t have to do all this work himself.
After finishing the cooking, eating, and cleaning in one go, Danzo patted his stomach as sleepiness washed over him.
He went inside and lay down on a reclining chair he had “borrowed” from someone else, and fell asleep…
In the spiritual world…
Shimura Danzo opened his eyes.
Within a spiritual universe as vast as the stars, rows upon rows of ninjutsu were arranged.
