Huhuhu! Today is the day!

Today is the day, yours truly, will finally taste one of the forbidden fruits of all weebs!

Umu,umu!

Today, yours truly, will fulfill the dream and desire of many virgin fat weebs. Many of them, right now, are just sitting and salivating on the pictures, of what I will have later.

But, not me, Na- uh! I will take the topping off and try it for my own pleasure.... Ah!~

Mhmm, you guessed it!

Today

Yours Truly,

Will go to ICHIRAKU'S for the first time !!!! [A/N: …..!]

*whistle*

It's been a few days since I finished my 'experiments' on the uninvited guests. It went well. I can soon start the next phase!

Also, the academy will start in 8 days. Which I am quite excited about!

So, I decided to visit the fine establishment, known as Ichiraku's Ramen.

Accompanying me was my most trusted minion, Fuzzy. And I could sense a few ANBU on the vicinity. But those are just side characters like the crows.

*Caw~* [A/N: Crow- sama has been offended!]

They were astonished for sure. Normally, you don't see a prince, walking through this run-down part of town.

You might be thinking, 'Won't the Oldie Moldi question me coming here? Won't he wonder how I even know about this place?'

Huhuhuhu!

This is why, my minion is so useful! And you guys said I don't need a minion. *Blah*

Also, the oldie is the reason, I refrained from venturing into this… Shi- *cough* under-developed part of town for so long.

The other day, I hinted my minion that my daily meals were too repetitive, and I wanted to eat something with more flavor.

Hearing his master's plea he rushed out!

Enthusiastically he did some digging, and came back with three restaurant recommendations. Not going to lie, I was impressed!

He hesitated a bit, when he talked about Ichiraku's, as it wasn't really befitting a prince to go there. But he complied with my order perfectly.

And the ANBU had bared witnesses of the events as my Minion ran through the whole village. Eating in different restaurants as if there were no tomorrow. Some even have mistaken him as a lost child of the Akamichis.

*Giggle*

But, that's not really important~

So, here I have been dining on the recommended restaurants, for the last few days. I did my best to use my skills, to increase their proficiency. While also searching for some self-preservation skills.

But no luck yet. So I pushed the thought in the back of my head.

[A/N: You sure there is still space there?]

And finally after an "appropriate amount of time", I am here to check out this, so called 'Best Pleasure' ramen joint.

If people didn't know any better, they might think it's that kinda store...

.

You might ask!

Why am I being like a teenager hiding his po*n about all this?

Well, for starters, I need to make sure that the Oldie Moldi doesn't think, I know things I am not supposed to.

Second, I need to keep my princely appearance. I can't afford to blow my cover so quickly. I am not some hot- blooded youth who would put it before they wrap it.

I'm constantly being watched. And that will remain so as long as I am in Konoha. One wrong step and I might not be able to do damage control.

Yes, I am being overly cautious.

Is it fun to be chased by everyone for your secrets? Yeee~ No, thank you! I don't have that kinda kink!

The other option is to stay cautious and become strong enough. Then flip all the people I want, without any repercussions!

I like the second option much better. Mhmm! Subscribe to that!

In any case, I can't easily be seen walking through this part of town. People will talk. And it will give Sarutobi more reasons to send 'extra support.'.

*Sigh* Politics…

But thanks to the <Gamer's Mind> keeping me from doing irrational things. I can calmly plan and act like a perfect little prince.

Well at least, according to the observing party.

I took a deep breath as I began to think about my reason for being so cautious.

Right now, I have many things. But I lack much more.

[A/N: This line has a deep meaning for Mitsu's character. It might even answer some of you, who are unsatisfied with him, not blasting every obstacle he sees.]

I have status, money and strength. But I lack the power of voice and the insurance of survivability.

I can't do as I please, as long as I can't ensure my survival.

[A/N: At the moment, he is still vulnerable. He can probably destroy most enemies solo, but he can't fight off an army, not even a group, without taking preparations.]

Yes, I have grown fond of my family. Especially my mother and sister. But, I won't let them stop me from reaching my dream.

My dream to live as I want! To become so strong that I can laugh as I face an army, with french fries in one hand and an umbrella on the other. Well, it's a draw between an umbrella and a hockey stick... but you get the gist.

So that I can get hit by S-Rank Jutsus and come out unscattered!

But that will take time… And at the moment I still have many years ahead of me!

This is my second life, here I want to enjoy myself. I have wasted so many years studying and struggling to become an engineer…

The amount of mental pressure I felt during the harsh years of studying, was excruciating…

And I could only find release while clubbing…

Many people became shut ins, during these sorts of situations. But I went the other way. I opened myself up.

I had fun. But I knew I was empty… The mental pressure was always there. The feeling of dread kept on haunting me…

I won't go through that stage again! I refuse!

This new life is for my enjoyment! And enjoy it, I shall!

.

As I was pondering about the past and my current situation, we arrived at the little rundown store.

And…

I was speechless…

Isn't this a forced plot? Hello?

OI SISSY! You are doing this on purpose, aren't you?.....

*Sigh*

The two people I was avoiding for the time being.

Are sitting together and enjoying ramen…

*Cringe*

Why the Frickidy Frick, the Dance Monkey, Hiruzen, and The One Eyed Loony, Danzo, sitting together and enjoying ramen?…

Maybe… Hiruzen is confronting him? He did find out that he was under a Genjutsu...

But then again, they are old friends to begin with, so it might not be too unusual.

I mean, I haven't taken an interest in the Old Pedo's life. So, I didn't know who he dated. And I have no rights to judge...

Then again, him dating Danzo would explain a lot… But that's just my wishful thinking.

*sigh*

I wanted to turn away,

But I knew they had both noticed my presence. So, I steeled myself and activated all my people skills.

"Good afternoon to you, Hokage sama! And etto~ sir, I believe we haven't met."

I jovially greeted the two sacks of bones…

While I very discreetly used <Appraisal> on Danzo. Well, not like they can notice me using appraisal. But it's a force of habit!

*Ding*

"Good evening to you as well, Mitsu- sama. Yes, you two haven't met before, this here is my old friend and a Konoha Elder, Shimura Danzo. And Danzo, this here is the third prince."

The oldie seemed relieved when I didn't recognise Danzo. Hmm? Did he think we were in Cahoots? Woooow! That hurts, old man… *Hypothetically clutching my chest*

Anywhoo~

The loony merely nodded without actually greeting me. If my skill didn't keep me calm, I would've surely shown a displeased face.

But I was able to stay calm, which caught the attention of the two Gramp tramps.

I could see a grandfatherly smile on Hiruzen. 'That is gross!'

He prolly misunderstood me being someone with a lot of control. It's good if he thinks that. Good job Monkeyman~

While Danzo had a weirder look…

It's the same look Naruto has when he sees Ramen.

*Shudder*

Danzo finally asked me, "What is a prince doing in these parts of the town?" The question seemed more like a test.

I smiled and answered his snarky remark, "Well, of course, even this prince, likes to indulge himself with good meals from time to time.

And seeing both of your lordships being here, I have a more favorable impression of this place.

A place where the leaders of our great village eat, can't be as shabby as it looks, now can it?

I believe my aide deserves some reward for suggesting such a splendid place."

I spouted some extra bullsh*t, so he could speculate whatever he wanted.

I could see Hiruzen's smile brighten. *sigh* this old man is too easy to please...

But suddenly,

I felt a tug on my mind. But <Gamer's Mind> worked it's magic. I noticed a slight red glow from underneath Danzo's bandages.

I couldn't believe this son of a brisket!! He actually tried to use Kotoamatsukami on me…

"…"

'HEY! <Gamer's Mind> LET ME GET ANGRY FOR ONCE! Gahhhhhh~' I screamed inside my head. But my outside appearance didn't change.

Still smiling normally, I took my seat. But my playful mood was gone.

[A/N: This will be one of the pushes that build our MC's resolve..]

He really did it this time! I need to pay him back a little.

So I started my act, "So, Danzo-Sama. Why do you have so many bandages around your head? Can you not heal your wound? Or …..

*Gasping a little in realization*

Or could it be that Danzo-Sama is *pretending to whisper.* PARTIALLY BALD?"

I could see the loony's face twitching and the monkey trying his hardest to not laugh. While I just stared at Danzo with childlike innocence.

I am sure, If I wasn't the prince he would have lashed out already, but right now he can only be displeased and suck it up.

Teuchi, the Chef, excused himself for a bathroom break. But we all knew he went out to laugh.

As for my minion..

Ummm…

Where is my minion?

I used my sensor ability to search for him, but he wasn't in range. He prolly got far away to laugh. Such a considerate minion!

Well, I should give him a raise.. Umu,umu!

But, that's unimportant at the moment.

I turned serious.

Now I need a plan to make this potty brain's life miserable.

So let's review the information I have,

[A/N: Sorry, from now it might seem repetitive. Here, I will explain some things that are relevant to the MC.]

1. I can't attack Danzo directly yet. I am not strong enough to face the whole 'Darkness of Konoha'. I can paste a shit load of skill on him and make him die of a brain explosion, but there are witnesses at the moment.

If I do anything today. Then even if the monkey has Naruto's common sense. I will be a huge suspect. As I have been near similar events.

I, for one, don't believe that Hiruzen doesn't know about my shenanigans. He for sure doesn't know how things happen, but he probably thinks I am pulling some pranks like Naruto. That's why he is merely scoffing it off.

That, sure as hell, won't be the case if his *possible boyfriend* friend dies.

2. I can't ask the old monkey for help. He may have doubts about Danzo, but he's still pathetic.

.

So what are my options? Hmmm... Can I take his wood jutsus and his cells?

For example, I know that Hashirama's cells are dead cells that have been transplanted, so I can probably transfer them.

He will not notice his cells missing, as he will lose memories of ever having them. Only a few people know about his experiments after all.

[A/N: The H. Cell is a dead thing and won't act like the previous diseases.]

But, maybe, if he goes back to the Snake Bastard. And asks about the cells, the snakey will prolly tell him he already planted them.

But having no memory and no cell to show proof. It will make him believe that the snake deceived him. It should cause them to fight.

As for the sharingan… I have tried before. And I can't take away active genes as they are treated as living.

How come Hashirama cells aren't active? Well, it's simple, they are dead cells and need the input of external chakra to re-activate the genes.

[A/N: Danzo in the canon needed to use extra chakra to activate the cells.]

With this, I can greatly weaken Danzo and make him fall out with The Snake bastard. And no one will know it was me. That is why I haven't revealed my skills to anyone.

In the Ninja world it's impossible to steal skills and cell memories directly from someone. You can at most be like Kakashi bro and copy the jutsus.

I will let him keep his sharingan for now. I know, I will get my hands on them sooner or later…

As, The Massacre is supposed to happen in about a year's time. So he shouldn't have his freaky friday hands yet.

So I deduced that, his Hashirama cells aren't the ones from his hand. It must be some random cell infusion on the testing phase.

But that is good for me.

I smiled lightly as Teuchi came back and everyone focused on the Ramen dude.

I quickly invoked Cut and took the Hashirama's cells and put it in one of my handy SS coins. Then proceeded to take the wood related skills.

I left the other skills, as I knew he will have a fall out with Orochi. And maybe the bastards can deal massive damage to each other.

Fortunately, no one noticed my slight change in behaviour. That's why it's so great to be treated as a non-ninja. People who think they are all powerful will let their guard down.

And Danzo as he lost his memories of ever acquiring the cells and wood release was acting normal. Well as normal as a one eyed man can act.

I looked at him and saw him grinning a bit. *Ew!*

Apparently, he was better than normal.

[A/N: He was probably happy that he used his Genjutsu on another royal.]

To which, I just flipped the bird. Inside my head of course.

I appeared calm on the outside.

But in reality, I wasn't.

I felt anger and was sated by my skills in an endless loop, but as soon as the two oldies said goodbye and left the stands. I started to calm down a bit.

I noticed, Danzo giving me an extra glance as he walked away.

.

.

.

I finally calmed down for real. I want to start the academy fast. So I have an excuse to increase my strength.

I was a modern man a few years ago…

I almost forgot I was in a dog kill dog world.

I was so blind. Damn it. If I didn't have the <Gamer's Mind> I would've been a puppet from today.

I wanted to shout out loud. I actually thought I was in a fun world. But today... I got a reality check.

I thought to myself, as I set new goals:

1. Start the academy and gain the strength to fear no one.

2. Get a piece of the power structure.

3. Get the power of voice on my side.

4. Tear Danzo a new one after goal one to three have been reached. If I can't finish these goals then I will do it the primitive way.

....

With my own fists.

No one can stop me. I will be the one standing at the top!

__________________________________________

[A/N: Hello there friends!!! This ends the First Arc: Reincarnation!, Damn I really wrote all this in 3 days… Anywhoo~ this chapter might feel a bit heavy and not as funny.

But, I believe a lot of questions were explained here. As well as, a turning point for Mitsu, as he gets a wake up call. I know some, maybe many of you would have thought the MC was a jackass.

Well you weren't wrong xDDDD *Syke*

But he has a past, and it is slowly being unravaled. Stay tuned to get a better grasp of the MC.

As for the romance. It will have to wait. I will not make my MC do perverted things before he even has his puberty. After that though… Will depend on how the story progresses. HEHE!

Hope, everyone has enjoyed the story so far. If some parts weren't funny or cringy I apologize, well umm foryourlackingsenseofMitsumor. *Cough*.

Anyways, please support me as you have, and I love interacting with you all! See you with next chapter.]
