Ch 5 : Danzo Shimura

After training, Tenma returned to his residence.

There was a time limit that he could spend in his system space, and it was limited to not more than three hours every day.

But different from usual, just when Tenma got out of his system space, an uninvited guest was already waiting for him.

" So there you are, brat. I've been waiting for you."

A middle-aged person with a bandage on his left eye was sitting in Tenma's living room.

However, Tenma was not afraid that his secret about his system would be discovered.

It was in the system's explanation at the very start. His system explained to him that no one would be able to recognize the presence of the system unless Tenma told them, and the system would help Tenma with situations like this.

Tenma said his greetings to Danzo and went to take a seat in front of him.

" It was rare to see you come here despite your busy schedule, uncle. What happen?"

" Humph, stop pretending, brat. You should know what happens."

Danzo said with a grumpy voice.

" Your first day at the academy, but you already made such a big scene."

' So it is about that. *Sigh* the teacher must have told the Hokage, and the Hokage told Uncle...'

Tenma held a helpless look in his heart. Still, for this uncle, who he rarely met, he still tried to look a bit innocent.

" Well, I'm just accepting their challenge."

"...."

As soon as the word came out, even the normally indifferent Danzo almost choked to death.

It was true that they were the ones that challenged Tenma at the start, but wasn't it you that later took the initiative to challenge the whole class and even beat Sarutobi's son?

Danzo's eyes twitched a bit at Tenma's answer. If he didn't hear the report directly from his subordinate, he would have believed Tenma's bluff just now.

But the next turn of events was going pretty unexpected for Tenma.

When he thought he needed to go and apologize to the Hokage, Danzo's hand suddenly went and patted him on the shoulder.

" Don't worry. You haven't done anything wrong."

" ??? "

" I have my own people observing you in school, and they have reported to me everything from the start till the end. You have done good. Those brats indeed need some teaching."

Tenma's reaction was pretty much speechless.

Was this his uncle, that was usually stern and grumpy? Why didn't he feel so bad right now?

Danzo also could feel that strange gaze that Tenma had at him, and he coughed unconsciously.

" *Cough* Don't think too much. After all, you are still my family. As long as you don't think what you've done is wrong or harm the well-being of Konoha, I will try to protect you as much as I can. Since I have nothing left to say, I should go now."

Along with that words, Danzo also left Tenma's residence.

But Tenma was still too dumbfounded to react.

Since coming to this world, he has always felt alone in this strange and new world to him.

And the only one that he could consider a close relative was Danzo.

That's why he felt so happy when his system connected him to the One Piece World and Sanji.

But now, seeing how Danzo protected him… Maybe it wasn't too bad to be reincarnated in this world.

At least he still had a relative that cared toward him, he thought.

Of course, this all could only be attributed to the fact that Tenma had not read Boruto's Dad Manga before. Or else, when he saw Danzo act like that, obviously, there would be only rising suspicion on his heart.

. . . . . . . .

As rays of the shining sun sheltered the whole Konoha, it declared the beginning of a new day.

The sun's warmth passed through the window and fell directly on Tenma's body.

After taking a bath, he ate the breakfast that he had prepared for himself before proceeding to go to the ninja school.

Albeit he didn't feel it was needed, last night, a Shimura clan member came and told him that it was necessary for him to graduate from the ninja academy. Else, he would not be able to receive anything during his adulthood.

"Today, we will practice one of the basic techniques, the transformation Technique."

"Let me first explain the process and techniques of the Transformation Technique, as well as the problems that may be encountered in the process of using it."

"Then, everyone might practice freely afterward."

"But please take notes. Because later, we will do a basic assessment."

Staying true to his words, after saying those, Tabata did really explain the transformation technique for about one hour.

Only then did he leave the class.

Tenma sat in the furthest seat in the class.

His strength yesterday had certainly attracted the attention of everyone else.

And today, they were waiting for what kind of spectacle Tenma would show them.

But unknown to them, Tenma, who looked calm and composed while listening to Tabata's lecture, actually was far from their imagination.

Because the main character, Tenma, actually was bathing in cold sweats now.

' Transformation Technique… What the heck is that? Does everyone in this world have the ability of Mane-Mane no mi?

Then how about brothels? What happened when you play with a woman, only to find that it was actually a man with transformation technique….'

Shiver actually went down his spine when he imagined that kind of thought.

Nonetheless, now was not the time for this.

It was a bit embarrassing to say, but even though he looked strong, Tenma's experiences in Ninjutsu were almost zero.

Heck, even the only reason that he was able to activate his chakra was because of the Shimura's clan elder threat.

After looking around for a while, he stopped on Rin, who was sitting not far from him.

There were actually a lot of other options. But from one glance, he could feel that Rin was the easiest to approach.

Clenching his fist, Tenma decided to play his part.

"Umm.. you over there!"

Rin heard Tenma, but she didn't actually respond. In fact, she was unsure whether Tenma really reached out to her, and was a bit late to respond.

But even after being ignored for the first time, Tenma didn't back down.

Pretending to be aloof, he continued:

"You.. you must have a lot of questions about the transformation technique, right? Don't worry. If you want, I will teach you."

This time, Rin turned around and stared at Tenma, a little surprised.

The other guys, especially Obito, were ready to butt in against Tenma's cockiness.

But before they could even do something, Rin felt something clicking inside her.

The face that Tenma displayed, though it had a cockiness on it, she could also see that Tenma was nervous. And it somehow reminded her of Obito.

This expression, Obito only displayed this expression when he was nervous.

' So that must be how is it.'

She just chuckled. Men were just like this. Their pride is way too high.

Still, Rin was a very kind girl, and against everyone's startled expression, she said:

" Sure, I'll be very happy too."

Then, she took Tenma's hand and brought him away from the classroom.
