It was no longer a question of whether it was “okay” or not.
To be able to invent his own ninjutsu at such a young age—Shimura Danzo’s talent immediately made the homeroom teacher, Yumiko, think of one person.
Senju Tobirama…
Before Yumiko could say anything, a student was the first to shout:
“Shimura Danzo, is this the ninjutsu you invented?
Does it have any use other than making people’s eyes dazzle for a moment?”
“Exactly, exactly!
Hahahaha!!”
In the classroom, the other students who had fallen victim to the technique immediately chimed in.
Soon, the classroom was filled with the sound of mocking laughter.
To the students, Shimura Danzo had merely played a low-level, petty trick.
“…”
Shimura Danzo smiled slightly and did not bother to defend himself.
Then, he let out a yawn, buried his face in his arms again, and went back to sleep.
This time…
no one disturbed him.
…
Shimura Danzo’s consciousness began to sink.
It wasn’t the sensation of ignorance that comes with ordinary sleep; deep within his consciousness, something was manifesting.
As the object appeared, Danzo’s mind became increasingly clear.
“It’s a different scene from the last time it manifested.”
Shimura Danzo gazed at the bizarre and colorful sights appearing before his eyes.
The last time he invented a ninjutsu, an exceptionally magical scene had appeared before him.
Shimura Danzo could be certain of one thing:
He could invent ninjutsu just by sleeping.
Or rather…
“I can get stronger just by sleeping?”
Shimura Danzo was stunned for a moment, then his heart filled with wild joy.
*Holy crap, this cheat is a bit overpowered.*
Think about it—is there anything more encouraging than the fact that you can get stronger just by sleeping?
In his previous life, Shimura Danzo had suffered enough from various types of “toxic chicken soup” for the soul.
Stuff like…
*Young man, as long as you work hard enough, you can be like me and inherit a hundred-billion-dollar family fortune~*…
and so on.
Shimura Danzo said…
NO!!!
Say NO to all toxic chicken soup!
Getting stronger by lying down was the true path!
Moreover, it was a cheat that perfectly matched his lazy personality.
Shimura Danzo…
picked his nose.
So, here came the question: did he need to give this cheat a name?
“The ‘Stronger While Lying Down’ System…
Hmm, save that.
The ‘Stronger While Asleep’ System…
The ‘I Want to be a Ninjutsu Scholar’ System…
The ‘Ninjutsu Creation’ System…”
Shimura Danzo began to ponder aimlessly.
Usually, at times like this, his brain would be exceptionally active, and he could feel his mind being utilized.
In other words, this ninjutsu creation cheat was linked to his brain’s computational power.
*Heh, it’s like a CPU or something.*
While Shimura Danzo was tinkering in his dreams, time passed in the real world.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was time for school to end.
The moment the bell rang, Shimura Danzo opened his eyes.
“A long-overdue new ninjutsu…”
A smile appeared on Shimura Danzo’s handsome face.
He had invented another new ninjutsu.
“Goodbye, Teacher!”
Shimura Danzo was the first to stand up, greeting the beautiful and moving Yumiko before making his getaway!
He was an “honor student” possessing the Will of Fire; of course, he had to remember to greet his teacher.
In truth, Danzo was already impatient to go home and experiment with his new ninjutsu.
“Hey!
Danzo!”
Behind him, Yumiko reached out, appearing to have something to say to him.
In her gaze…
the previous disdain and indignation were gone, replaced by a very complex expression.
After all, for a student everyone considered a “dead-last” to suddenly turn into a “top student”—that psychological gap was massive.
Compared to the other students who knew nothing, Yumiko, as a Chunin, understood even better just how outstanding Shimura Danzo was to be able to develop his own ninjutsu at such a young age.
This was a level of aptitude and talent that most ninjas would never reach in their entire lives.
…
Shimura Danzo’s figure quickly vanished as he headed down the corridor toward the school gate outside the teaching building.
Leaving the gate and turning left, Shimura Danzo hummed a little tune, naturally heading back to his own home.
At this time, Konoha was not yet as prosperous as it would be half a century in the future.
In this era, Konoha had only been established for a very short time.
As a versatile Naruto fan who had thoroughly read the official setting books—the *Rin no Sho*, *Hyo no Sho*, *To no Sho*, *Sha no Sho*, *Jin no Sho*…
along with the novels, manga, anime, and games—Shimura Danzo knew many things by heart.
In this era, Senju Hashirama was even still alive.
As he walked, Shimura Danzo looked up.
He looked at the towering, majestic mountain range behind the Ninja Academy.
On the peak, the Hokage Rock had only one person carved into it.
It was the face of Senju Hashirama.
That’s right, Senju Tobirama had not yet become the Second Hokage, which meant that Uchiha Madara had not yet had his fallout with Senju Hashirama.
In this world, the two strongest “Gundam pilots” were still in Konohagakure.
However…
it was getting close.
Shimura Danzo calculated.
According to the official timeline, Uchiha Madara’s defection would happen roughly this year…
After Uchiha Madara defected, Senju Tobirama would become the Second Hokage…
The new carving on the Hokage Rock would be added this year…
“Hey!
Stop right there!”
While Shimura Danzo was thinking about these things, he was intercepted.
He stopped in his tracks.
Standing before him was the brat who had said, “If you’ve got the guts, don’t leave after school”—and he had brought two lackeys with him.
“Do you three have some business with me?”
Shimura Danzo picked his nose, wearing an expression that said “I know you’re here to bully me.”
“Who the hell do you think you’re pretending for?!
Shimura Danzo, I said it during class—don’t leave if you have the guts.
Teacher Yumiko is so kind, yet you actually dared to bully her!”
*Heh…*
Shimura Danzo rolled his eyes.
He could tell with his toes that these three brats were in the throes of a first crush.
“The three of you like Teacher Yumiko,” Shimura Danzo said suddenly and seriously.
After all…
Teacher Yumiko was very beautiful, had a large chest, and because she was a ninja, her trained body was even more enchanting.
Who hasn’t had a first love?
Shimura Danzo expressed…
that he understood perfectly.
“Uh…
uh…”
The three brats looked at each other, their faces turning completely red.
“We…
we do like her…”
People in this world were quite simple.
“Bullshit!!” Shimura Danzo interrupted them sharply.
“You call that liking her?
You’re just craving her body!
You’re wretched!”
After delivering that famous line, Shimura Danzo turned and bolted.
“How dare you look down on us!
Get him!”
Feeling both ashamed and furious, the three brats charged forward with a roar.
It wasn’t that Shimura Danzo couldn’t beat them…
but rather, he wanted to be a standard “big bad guy.”
Immediately, Shimura Danzo entered a dark, narrow alleyway.
The three brats followed closely behind, refusing to give up.
“Hehe…
coming here makes this the territory of the ‘Darkness of Shinobi’…”
In the darkness, Shimura Danzo gave a wicked smile, turned around, and formed a hand seal.
New ninjutsu, activate!
“Shimura Danzo’s Cough!”
