This Danzo Is Weird!

In the shinobi world, in the Land of Rain—

As the battleground for the Fire, Earth, and Wind nations, this land has never been free from the shadow of war.

The rumbling thunder sounded like the unyielding roars of the fallen, while the endless rain felt like the tears of a weeping nation.

But no matter how broken the world becomes, someone will always strive to mend it.

Beneath the heavy clouds, an elderly man from Konoha used a simple tent and a single incandescent lamp to create a haven for wandering children.

"This is for you, Sakon."

"Don't snatch; here's yours, Kotetsu."

"Careful not to trip..."

The old man's face was half-covered with bandages, a cross-shaped scar on his chin. Despite his wrinkled visage, his gentle smile radiated warmth, much like a lighthouse in this storm.

The raggedly dressed children eagerly accepted the rice cakes he handed out, their faces lighting up as they bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you, Grandpa Danzo!"

"You're welcome! Hurry home now!"

Danzo smiled indulgently, his face brimming with kindness.

If this scene were witnessed by those who had perished under the hands of Root, their eyes might pop out in disbelief.

Yet at this moment, Danzo was genuinely enjoying himself.

Every time he handed out a rice cake, a familiar voice echoed in his ears:

"Detected Sakon's gratitude, received Skill Point *1."

"Detected Kotetsu's gratitude, received Skill Point *1."

"Received..."

That's right—this Danzo was a transmigrator.

About a month ago, shortly after arriving in the Land of Rain, Shimura Danzo suffered a severe illness, allowing a soul from Earth to quietly take over his body.

As a transmigrator, he naturally gained a cheat: The Good Person System.

Its function was simple: by earning others' gratitude, he could obtain their skill packs and skill points.

Skill packs included various ninjutsu, secret techniques, and unique abilities, while skill points could enhance physical attributes or skill levels.

This was why Danzo appeared in this nameless town in the Land of Rain.

A month ago, a fierce battle between Iwagakure and Sunagakure nearly wiped this town off the map.

After arriving, Danzo began providing free food to the children and treating the wounded.

He told the children fantastical stories, taught them about astronomy and geography, and even shared survival tips for living in a war-torn world.

As a result, he earned the respect of nearly everyone in town.

Who would have thought that the legendary "5.5th Hokage," "First Kunai to Pierce Susano'o," "Bridge Destroyer," "Sharingan Collector," "Uchiha Nemesis," and "Darkness of the Shinobi World," Shimura Danzo, would end up striving to be a good person?

Truly, life works in mysterious ways.

Danzo sighed deeply at the thought. Just as he was about to pack up for the day, a little girl came skipping over, handing him a small pink hairclip.

"Mummy Grandpa, this is a gift for you!"

Surprised, Danzo raised an eyebrow but smiled as he patted her head.

"Thank you for the gift. I hope you're happy every day!"

The little girl tilted her head, her dirt-streaked face breaking into a radiant smile.

"Hehe, Mummy Grandpa should be happy every day too!"

Looking at the hairclip in his hand, Danzo suddenly felt that this kind of life wasn't so bad after all.

After finishing his work for the day, he returned to his tent.

"Lord Danzo," a ninja wearing an animal mask appeared inside, kneeling respectfully before the old man.

Danzo frowned at the sight of the Root ninja.

"Ryoma, how many times have I told you? Don't kneel in front of me!"

Hearing this, Ryoma—the Root member of the Aburame clan—lowered his head even further.

　　"This order has already been conveyed to all other Root members, but please allow me to personally express my respect for you, Lord Danzo."

"Sigh, you're so rigid."

Danzo sighed, thinking Ryoma was probably a natural talent for formalities. At the very least, he'd start at a mastery level.

He pulled up a stool and finally asked, "What's the matter?"

Aburame Ryoma was a core member of Root. His personal appearance meant there was something significant to report.

As expected, Ryoma immediately said, "Hanzo of the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure, wishes to meet with you."

"So, that old geezer Hanzo couldn't hold back any longer?"

Danzo glanced through a gap in the tent at the children playing freely in the muddy ground. He sighed with some reluctance.

To be honest, he was growing quite fond of this peaceful life.

But clearly, given the current state of the world and his identity, such a life couldn't last. There were more important things he had to accomplish.

"I understand. Tell him I'll head to Amegakure soon."

"Yes."

Ryoma rose swiftly.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

"Wait."

Danzo called out to stop Ryoma, who was preparing to use a Body Flicker Technique.

He handed him a bowl of hot soup.

"It's cold outside. Drink this before you go."

Ryoma paused, clearly surprised. It was evident he hadn't expected such a gesture from his leader.

Nevertheless, he quickly removed his mask and downed the hot soup in one gulp.

The warmth spread through his body, making him feel energized.

"Thank you, Lord Danzo. I'll take my leave now."

This time, Danzo didn't stop him further. He patted Ryoma's shoulder and said, "Stay safe."

Ryoma lowered his head even more and, after expressing his thanks, disappeared on the spot. His departure was noticeably faster than usual.

"Detected Aburame Ryoma's gratitude!"

"Skill unlocked: Insect Clone."

"Skill Point ×1 obtained."

Ah, finally, he had unlocked Ryoma's skill pack.

Danzo leaned back in his chair, a faint smile playing on his lips.

With his remaining eye, he looked ahead at something invisible to others—a system interface.

It had to be said, as the Second Hokage's disciple and a Konoha elder, Danzo's starting skill set was quite formidable. His talent in Wind Release was exceptional, making him one of the few Konoha shinobi adept in that field.

Moreover, his expertise in sealing techniques was impressive.

This could be seen in:

The Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal used on Root members.

The Self-Curse Binding Seal used to control Sasuke.

The Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique that sealed an entire bridge.

In fairness, sealing techniques had a high learning threshold—not everyone could master them.

Of course, Danzo's most critical trump cards were the Hashirama Cells and the Sharingan implanted in his body.

The former granted him the Bloodline Limit Wood Release, which only the First Hokage could control.

Though he couldn't freely use Wood Release yet, having it was better than nothing—it could still serve as a hidden ace.

As for the Sharingan, Danzo hadn't yet transplanted an entire arm of Sharingan. For now, he had replaced his injured right eye with a single Sharingan.

Additionally, he had unlocked the Uchiha clan's forbidden technique, Izanagi.

All in all, Danzo's starting talents were solid.

No wonder he could become the Second Hokage's disciple.

Now, it was time to carefully consider how to allocate the 1002 skill points.
