Chapter 1

Reincarnation was real. I learned this truth the hard way. I also learned that gods have a wicked sense of humor. I am sure of it because there was no other reason why I got reincarnated into the world of Naruto as Shimura Danzo's son!

Dammit! of all the places I could have fuckin been reborn to why naruto?!

As if chakra youkais, child soldiers, and genocidal alien gods are not enough some cosmic entity decided to screw me over in more ways than one. Instead of being born in a relatively safe place like the Land of Lightning or Land of Iron, I was born into the Land of Fire of all places.

I would have preferred being reborn as a harem protagonist or a baker heck even a wolf-dog in one of those Isekai novels would have been better.

Yet here I am being taught by one of the antagonists of the naruto series how to kill at the age of 7 years old!

To make matters worse, my father wants me to succeed him as the leader of root in case he ever died...

Dammit, gods, why'd you got to make things harder than they already are for me?...

"Calm down me remember the words that you this far," I muttered under my breath.

Standing in a clearing with a bloodied kunai surrounded by a slew of large dead animals I was reminded of my code of living. There is no nobility on the battlefield. Whatever method you use be it good or evil It doesn't matter as long as you win.

This simple way of thinking has yet to be disproven. I doubt it will be ever disproven no matter what.

I felt a presence appear behind me. I was not startled as I recognized the chakra signature of my father.

"You have done well surviving the forest of death for 1 month 201." My father complimented. "Now do away with the adversaries I've brought and let's proceed to your next task." The words that came from my father's mouth were quick and I took a moment to properly grasp that it was an order.

Five shinobis that wore the Shimura clan insignia sprung from the trees above dashing towards me with the intent of ending my life.

My hands flashed through hand signs and I performed the great fireball jutsu. two of the enemies couldn't dodge on time as they were caught on fire, ignoring the screams of agony of the two my hands once again flashed through a different set of hand signs. The water around me turned blood red and rose up swallowing the remaining three. In the depths of my heart, there was a brief sense of guilt at what I had done to my fellow clansmen. But I squashed that thought with ruthless cold logic. I knew they were only following orders from my father but It would have been me in their place that had died if I had hesitated. The only reason I was breathing and they weren't was that I was stronger than them. Power was the fuel that would see to my life prolonged and I was invested in extending my lifespan in this second life by whatever means.

Luckily the gods above aren't all dicks and had gifted me with a very useful Dōjutsu called Ketsuryūgan. Which I had inherited from my mother who was a member of the Chinoike Clan. She was one of the Chinoike clan members who were forced to settle in the Valley of Hell. But after two years of living in that god-awful place, she decided to move and live in Konoha.

She would have lived a peaceful life had she not been seduced by my father. If only she hadn't met my father she would have still been alive...

"Ordinarily I'd say well done to you, but I noticed that you used your bloodline even though I forbade you from doing so." said Danzo coldly to me.

A painful sensation filled my body. By the time I came back to my senses, I was already on the ground with my head looking upward at the one who did this to me.

"See to it that all my commands are followed to the latter or next time I won't be so lenient do you understand me 201?" My bastard of a father said to me with cold unforgiving eyes.

"Yes...."

"Good now Follow me."

Danzo made a curt command and we exited the forest.

We took the long way route back home which gave me time to think.

Finally, the first hurdle in my life has been overcome which was to be skilled enough to not be cannon fodder.

So far, the Second Shinobi War hasn't yet finished. I have no idea when it would do so as dates were hardly mentioned in the anime or manga. The only way I could properly estimate a date was if the village started recognizing the students of the third hokage as sannin.

I put my thoughts aside for now as we arrive before a large gate that led to the Shimura clan compound.

"Welcome Back Lord Danzo and young master." the gatekeeper greeted me.

I silently nodded and followed my father inside the clan compound.

A few minutes later I was sitting before my father inside our home.

"I have observed your progress so far 201 and am satisfied with the results. Also, as your father congratulations are in order for your early graduation from the academy." My father spoke with a neutral face.

I gave a brief nod to my father's acknowledgment.

"Thank you but congratulations are unnecessary Father. My skills and achievements are only products of the help I received from you and my clan after all." I said as I look respectfully towards my father.

"Very humble of you. Many experienced sensors under me can sense that from the density and sharpness of your chakra. You have the potential to be the greatest tool that the hidden leaf village has ever produced. Continue to sharpen yourself more lest you become dull and end up like your mother 201."

The tone of the conversation became grim at the mention of my mother.

"Yes..." I gulped nervously as I truly understood what that meant.

Truly my father is scum. It was too bad that my mother from this world didn't take him with her when she departed to the afterlife.

"Due to you being a trainee of root you will be given access to more advanced techniques that are exclusive only to our village. Learn them and improve on them. Unlike the other trainees, I will be expending a lot of resources on you 201 do not fail me."

"I will not disappoint you, Father." I said kneeling in front of him.

"Good. Before you leave take this with you." said Father before throwing a scroll in my direction. I caught the scroll eyeing it curiously.

"It is information on the next mission I am assigning you along with your code name, it also contains the name of your partner who you will live and train with for 10 years. You are dismissed."

Looking at the scroll I couldn't help but gawk at the picture of my partner listed on the scroll.

"Why the hell is she in this world??!!…"
