This Danzo Is Weird!

"System, give me a boost!"

Danzo first chose Wind Release, the element he had always excelled in.

As soon as he made the decision, a large number of skill points on the system panel were consumed, transforming into a surge of power that erupted within his body.

His body, his muscles, even his cells were undergoing changes!

This transformation lasted for over ten minutes.

Afterward, Danzo reopened his eyes.

Now, his Wind Release talent had successfully risen from A+ to S-, officially stepping into the S-rank.

A flood of profound insights filled his mind.

The system's boost was like breaking through a thin layer of paper, allowing decades of accumulated experience to burst forth as countless inspirations.

He understood!

Everything made sense now!

Danzo's eyes seemed to be brewing a storm.

He suddenly raised his hand, and at his fingertips, Wind Release chakra rapidly gathered, forming a high-speed rotating air bullet that slammed into the opposite wall!

*Boom!*

Although it was just a small air bullet, the kinetic energy generated by its high-speed rotation directly pierced through the wall of Danzo's office.

And this was just a casual strike from Danzo.

This was the difference between A-rank and S-rank.

Just one level apart, but worlds apart!

Danzo deeply felt this difference.

In that attack, he had utilized the A-rank chakra shape manipulation he had learned from Minato.

The Rasengan, as the ultimate representation of shape manipulation, clearly showed that its creator, Minato Namikaze, had an exceptional mastery of shape transformation.

And now, Danzo had applied this mastery to Wind Release, creating this high-speed rotating chakra air bullet.

If Danzo could fuse this shape manipulation with his Wind Release nature transformation, could he create an even more powerful jutsu?

Something like the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, perhaps?

As a traditional Wind Release master, Danzo was eagerly looking forward to it.

After verifying the power of Wind Release, it was time for Wood Release.

Danzo closed his eyes again and fiercely allocated his skill points.

Once more, the skill points transformed into a surge of energy that erupted within his body.

His body underwent another baptism.

However, this time, there wasn't the same feeling of clarity as before.

After all, his understanding of Wood Release was still at a basic level.

Unlike Wind Release, which he had cultivated for decades.

But Danzo had a feeling that with his current talent, he could likely master many of the Wood Release techniques left by the First Hokage.

At A- rank, he could only use basic Wood Release techniques like Great Forest Technique.

Now that he was at S-rank, shouldn't he be able to use something like Wood Dragon Technique?

Unfortunately, these techniques left by the First Hokage were all inscribed in the Scroll of Seals, and no one could access them without the Hokage's permission.

Of course, Danzo had previously used his special status to take a few glances.

But with his talent back then, he couldn't comprehend the contents of those Wood Release techniques.

After much research, he had only managed to learn Wood Release: Wood Spear and memorized the Great Forest Technique, a imitation of the Deep Forest Emergence.

But Danzo wasn't too worried.

Even though he had argued with Hiruzen, given their relationship, borrowing the scroll again shouldn't be too difficult.

Moreover, due to the enhancement of his Wood Release talent, Danzo unexpectedly gained a special skill—

"Congratulations! As your Wood Release talent has reached S-rank, you have acquired the special skill Plant Manipulation."

"Plant Manipulation (A-rank): You can control the growth of plants using Wood Release chakra, and even alter their properties."

This reward made Danzo ecstatic.

He hadn't expected that reaching S- rank in Wood Release would also grant him an A-rank skill.

This was a huge win.

"Control the growth of plants, and even alter their properties?"

Danzo muttered the description of the skill.

As a transmigrator from a five-thousand-year-old agrarian civilization, the first thought that came to Danzo's mind when he saw this skill was—

Farming!

He had to farm!

At its core, the wars in the ninja world stemmed from resource imbalance.

Especially food imbalance!

Places like Konoha, with its fertile lands, naturally had no issues with food.

But what about other regions?

For example, the vast deserts of the Land of Wind, with only a few oases—how much arable land could there be?

They had to import large amounts of food from other countries every year.

Or the Land of Rain, where it rained constantly, with little sunlight, resulting in pitifully low crop yields.

Other countries were slightly better off, but not by much.

Only by controlling food could one control the people.

Therefore, Danzo planned to use this Plant Manipulation skill to cultivate crops and see if he could increase food production.

Additionally, he intended to use the Asura Path's abilities to combine with this world's knowledge and push forward Konoha's industrialization.

However, whether it was agriculture or industry, these things couldn't be achieved overnight. Even with the help of ninjutsu, it would likely take considerable time to make breakthroughs.

Fortunately, Danzo had transmigrated early enough.

There were still about twenty years before the Black Zetsu's "Rescue Mother" plot would unfold.

And the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan, ushering in the era of karma, was even further away—probably around thirty years.

Thus, he had plenty of time to develop.

---

The setting sun dyed the sky red, casting a golden veil over the layered rooftops of Konoha.

Atop the famous Hokage Rock, two boys, one tall and one short, were admiring the spectacular view.

"Is this Konoha? It's so beautiful!"

The five-year-old Kabuto couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Behind his round glasses, his little face was filled with hope for the future.

Standing beside him, Shisui affectionately ruffled his hair, saying with a hint of pride, "That's right. Now you're a part of Konoha too. This will be your home from now on!"

"Yay!"

At this moment, Kabuto wasn't as gloomy as he would later become, and he laughed heartily.

Shisui looked at his joyful junior brother and couldn't help but smile.

The traditional rivalry between senior and junior disciples didn't appear here. The two, with nearly a ten-year age gap, got along remarkably well.

"Are you two Danzo's disciples?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and a kind-looking old man emerged from the forest behind them.

Shisui's heart skipped a beat.

He hadn't sensed the man's approach at all.

Even in the village, such carelessness was unacceptable!

Shisui immediately began to reflect on his actions.

But when he saw the hat on the man's head, he relaxed.

"Greetings, Lord Hokage," Shisui said respectfully.

Seeing his senior brother bow, Kabuto also tried to act like an adult, saying in a childish voice, "Greetings, Lord Hokage."

This immediately made Hiruzen Sarutobi burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, good kids, no need for such formalities!"

He examined the two before him, his face full of kindness.

"Since you're Danzo's disciples, you're practically my own disciples too. From now on, just call me Uncle Hiruzen. No need to be so distant!"

Shisui and Kabuto exchanged glances.

The former was surprised that the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, could be so warm.

The latter was shocked, thinking, 'Damn, my teacher is this awesome? Even the Hokage treats him like a brother!'

In any case, no matter how heated their arguments were, Hiruzen wasn't the type to take his frustrations out on these two youngsters.

"You're Kagami's grandson, Uchiha Shisui, right?" Hiruzen asked kindly.

Shisui nodded.

"Danzo told me about you. He said you're a good kid who has inherited Kagami's Will of Fire. You must continue to uphold the Will of Fire and strive to help the Uchiha clan integrate into the village as soon as possible."

Hiruzen spoke with deep sincerity.

But this time, Shisui shook his head.

"Forgive me, Lord Hokage, but I cannot agree with your view. My teacher said that the Uchiha don't need to integrate into the village—they are already a part of it. What's needed is mutual understanding and tolerance with the rest of the village."

Hearing Shisui's words, Hiruzen was momentarily stunned, then chuckled awkwardly.

"Haha, my choice of words was poor. Danzo is right. The Uchiha have always been a part of Konoha."

When it came to political correctness, even Hiruzen couldn't afford to be careless.

To ease the awkwardness, he turned his attention to Kabuto.

"You're Kabuto, right? Danzo's youngest disciple. How are you finding life in Konoha?"

Faced with the Hokage's question, Kabuto tilted his head.

"Lord Hokage, I just arrived in Konoha today."

In other words, 'I haven't even experienced life in Konoha yet. How would I know if I'm used to it?'

"Haha, right, I'm getting old and forgetful…" Hiruzen rubbed his nose.

Fortunately, a voice saved him from further embarrassment.

"Hiruzen, what are you saying to my disciples now?"

Danzo's hoarse and low voice rang out, accompanied by his gloomy face.

As Danzo's closest old friend, Hiruzen immediately sensed that the old man was still upset.

"I was just looking after these juniors, as their uncle. Can't I show some concern?" Hiruzen said lightly.

But Danzo sneered, "I don't recall there being any senior or junior disciples when we became Lord Tobirama's students."

He looked Hiruzen up and down, continuing in a disdainful tone, "And you call yourself their uncle? Meeting your juniors for the first time and not even preparing a gift—is this how you show your care?"

Hiruzen was left speechless by Danzo's words.

Indeed, he had acted like an elder but failed to fulfill the duties of one, which was quite rude.

But the two had just argued, and both were in a face-saving mood. If he backed down now, wouldn't Danzo think he was weak?

In a moment of desperation, Hiruzen pulled out a short sword and a kunai from his pocket.

"Who said I didn't prepare gifts? These two chakra metal weapons are my gifts to them!"

Danzo looked at the two treasures in Hiruzen's hands.

The short sword was about the length of an adult's arm, while the kunai was of a common design.

The key point was that both weapons were made of chakra metal!

Chakra metal was known as the king of metals.

Due to its excellent chakra conductivity, it was the best material for crafting ninja tools.

But this stuff was thousands of times more expensive than gold of the same weight!

It was far beyond the means of ordinary ninjas.

Even the major clans in Konoha had to think twice before using it, at most crafting weapons mixed with chakra metal for their prodigies.

Pure chakra metal weapons? Rarely seen, let alone used.

Even the Shimura clan didn't have such items.

As a prodigy of the Uchiha clan, Shisui was currently using a short sword mixed with chakra metal, far from being a pure chakra metal weapon.

This showed just how much Hiruzen had sacrificed this time.

Danzo could even see the slight twitch in Hiruzen's lips as he handed over the items.

To be honest, Hiruzen was truly heartbroken.

These two items were gifts from Sunagakure, given to him privately to pressure Danzo and reduce the bargaining chips needed in negotiations!

Originally, he had planned to keep them for his grandson, but now he had run into this situation.

But there was no helping it. His pride as the Hokage was at stake.

The Hokage's dignity was more important than anything.

But while he cared about his pride, some people didn't.

"What are you waiting for? Thank your uncle," Danzo said coldly, though the resentment in his voice had noticeably lessened.

Shisui had initially been reluctant to accept such valuable gifts, but since his teacher had spoken, refusing would be inappropriate.

So he took the short sword and said respectfully, "Thank you, Uncle."

Kabuto quickly stepped forward, clutching the kunai, and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, Uncle!"

Hiruzen could only force a stiff smile. "As long as you like them."

Danzo curled his lip. "At least I didn't waste my time teaching Jiraiya and Orochimaru back then."

Hearing this, Hiruzen's face darkened.

'You dare bring up Orochimaru? If it weren't for you, maybe Orochimaru wouldn't have gone down that dark path!!'

But Danzo clearly didn't want to argue. After receiving the gifts, he turned and left with his two disciples.

Hiruzen quickly called out to him.

"Wait, Danzo! I have something to discuss with you!"

But Danzo wasn't in the mood to talk. He waved his hand dismissively. "Not today. Maybe next time."

As he watched Danzo walk away with the two children, Hiruzen suddenly remembered something.

Back when he was teaching Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, it had been like this too.

Not just them.

Even when he and Danzo were being taught by their sensei, it had been the same.

"Ah, getting old makes one nostalgic," Hiruzen sighed, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

---

Meanwhile, as they walked toward the Root headquarters, Kabuto suddenly said, "Sensei, I think that uncle from earlier wasn't very smart."

Danzo was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, he's not just 'not very smart'—he's a complete fool!"

In the distance, Hiruzen, who had been lost in nostalgia, suddenly stiffened.

"Danzo, you old dog! You've gone too far!"
