After returning home, Danzo looked in the mirror and felt a strong urge to complain.
“Honestly…
I looked pretty handsome as a kid and in my youth…
why did I turn into a villain after reaching middle age?”
Danzo stared at his handsome self in the mirror, utterly perplexed.
“Is it really because Sarutobi Hiruzen made me angry by showing off every day?”
Danzo felt the cross-shaped scar on his chin.
Of course, this wasn’t for looking cool.
He had heard from Akimichi Torifu that he got this from being beaten by those bastards in the Shimura clan.
However…
“No problem, a man’s scar…”
Shimura Danzo felt quite good about himself.
Actually, at first, he had thought it was some kind of Shimura clan birthmark or something.
Oops.
After checking himself out repeatedly, Danzo was still a bit dissatisfied.
“If I had just gritted my teeth and held on, wouldn’t I have become a hero?”
For example…
in the future, upon meeting the protagonist of Naruto, he would first give him a kind smile and then say:
“Uzumaki Naruto-yo~, this old man feels that you are the best candidate for the Seventh Hokage.”
Something like that…
and then the The Loudmouth Fox would surely reveal a sweet, innocent, and brilliant smile and say to him:
“Grandpa Danzo is the coolest~~~!”
Yes, that kind of development.
Danzo thought about idle things.
This night, quite unusually, he didn’t fall asleep until very late…
…
The next morning, Shimura Danzo arrived at the Academy.
“Danzo, last night—last night I ran into a weird guy.
He had a girl’s head, but his body was like one of those muscular brats from Kumogakure…”
As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Danzo arrive, his eyes widened as he spoke to the latter about the encounter from the previous night.
The image of Moe Mountain had left him with a profound psychological shadow.
Setting aside the mental pollution caused by that appearance, there was also…
the other party actually said they wanted to cut off his little OO to “express ambition through a song”!
“Oh.”
Danzo crunched on a breakfast bun, looking perfectly calm.
The money for this was, naturally, scammed from Sarutobi Hiruzen the night before.
In the world of Naruto, the currency unit is the “Ryo,” and in the official Naruto guidebook *Hyo no Sho*, Kishimoto explained that one Ryo is approximately equal to ten Japanese Yen.
Besides credit currency like banknotes, there is also metal currency.
“Here, eat a bun first to calm your nerves, and have a cup of red bean soup to warm your body.
Look at how scared you are.”
Without letting him argue, Danzo handed a portion of the warm bun and red bean soup to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
“Thank you, Danzo, hehehe.”
The foolishly smiling Sarutobi Hiruzen took the food, looking at his best friend with a face full of gratitude.
He thought to himself, as expected of Danzo, being so concerned about him.
Looking at the food in his hands, Sarutobi Hiruzen was moved to the point of tears.
Because when he told this story to others, no one believed him!
Only Danzo didn’t mock him; he even comforted him and gave him buns bought from the most famous bun shop across from the ninja tool shop.
As for the red bean soup, it came from the dango shop.
Yes, that’s right—the specialty of the dango shop that Uchiha Itachi and Mitarashi Anko would frequently visit in the future.
“Stop thinking about irrelevant things…”
Danzo patted Sarutobi Hiruzen on the shoulder.
“Study hard and make progress every day.
You are the future of our Konoha.”
Danzo was the same age as Sarutobi Hiruzen, yet when these words came from his mouth…
there seemed to be no sense of contradiction at all.
After speaking, Danzo let out a yawn and went back to his seat to meet the Duke of Zhou in his dreams.
