I Got Reincarnated As Danzo!?

The First Year of Konoha.

In the forest outside the village.

One Sword Style · Tiger Hunting

A flash of steel shone brightly, accompanied by a faint roar of a tiger, as a massive tree crashed down to the ground, raising a thick cloud of dust. As the smoke cleared, a boy with black hair slowly sheathed his sword.

"Well, the techniques provided by the system are pretty powerful, should be on par with B-rank ninjutsu," the boy said, casually holding a lollipop in his mouth.

"Hey, Danzo, you're outside the village too?"

Danzo turned to see a young boy, his face immature yet radiating determination.

"Ah, it's Hiruzen. I'm out here training and hunting," Danzo replied. The boy approaching was none other than Sarutobi Hiruzen, in his teenage years.

Danzo couldn't help but wonder, *Why is he looking at me like that? Does he think I'm dripping sweat from training? Just took a child's lollipop and was chased for eight blocks by the kid's parents! No wonder he thinks I'm a great ninja.*

Hiruzen, seeing Danzo drenched in sweat, thought to himself, *No wonder my father said I should look up to him. He's much stronger than me, but I'll prove myself today.*

Danzo smiled slightly at the thought. "You're quite the eager one, Hiruzen."

"I'm here to prove that I'm no worse than you!" Hiruzen declared, his determination clear in his voice.

Danzo nodded slowly, realizing this was inevitable. "Alright, let's have a spar."

Hiruzen suddenly bowed. "Danzo, please, fight me! I want to test myself against you!"

Danzo hesitated, about to refuse, but then the system notification popped up.

[Mission Triggered: "The Encounter Between Ye and Gen"]

[Description: "You will regret this!" "I will be Hokage!"]

[Trigger Task: Agree to Hiruzen's request and use the ultimate technique of Konoha Taijutsu in battle: "The Thousand Years of Pain"

Reward: Mastery of the three-body technique, 10,000 points]

Danzo thought, The system never misses an opportunity for trouble, but it's definitely useful.

"Well, we are family, after all. We built this village together. How about we settle this without a duel?" Danzo suggested, trying to avoid the fight.

But Hiruzen wasn't backing down. "Danzo, I'll pay you 1,000 ryo if you'll fight me!" He pulled out the money, showing his seriousness.

"Fine then," Danzo said, shrugging. "Let's make it official. First one to admit defeat loses."

Danzo drew his indestructible wooden sword, while Hiruzen pulled out a kunai.

Hiruzen eyed Danzo's wooden sword and asked, "Are you really going to fight with that?"

Danzo grinned. "It's not just any wood."

Before Hiruzen could reply, Danzo dashed forward, and the battle began.

The sound of steel clashing filled the air. Hiruzen, using his quick reflexes, formed five clones to surround Danzo from different directions. Danzo, however, easily cut down one clone with a swift swing of his sword and ignored the others.

"Damn it! How's your perception so strong?" Hiruzen cursed as he quickly performed the substitution technique and hurled a kunai at Danzo.

In mid-air, Hiruzen also cast a wind ninjutsu.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough

Danzo deflected the kunai with his wooden sword, then began preparing his own wind technique.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough

As the two wind techniques collided, Danzo's jutsu overwhelmed Hiruzen's with ease.

"I see your wind release skills are still at a beginner level," Danzo remarked.

But Hiruzen was undeterred. "It's not over yet!"

Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu

Hiruzen combined his wind release with fire release, launching a powerful fireball at Danzo.

Substitution Technique

When the flames subsided, Danzo was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a piece of charred wood.

"Nice move," Danzo said from his perch on a tree, drawing his sword again. "But it's going to take more than that to defeat me."

Hiruzen, determined to win, charged forward. Danzo responded with his own taijutsu.

One Sword Style: Swallow Return

A flash of light as Danzo's sword moved like lightning, cutting at Hiruzen. But before the blade could connect, Hiruzen dived into the earth using the earth release technique.

Earth Style: Hiding in the Ditch

Hiruzen emerged moments later, his arm wounded, blood dripping onto the ground.

"Still coming at me?" Danzo asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course!" Hiruzen growled, his resolve unwavering.

Danzo placed the sword back into its sheath, forming the tiger seal.

"This is the seal of the tiger. Wait, could he have learned B-rank ninjutsu already? That's impossible!"

Hiruzen, realizing what was coming, began to sweat.

Thousand Years of Pain (A/N: It's Different from Kakashi's One)

With a burst of speed, Danzo vanished and appeared behind Hiruzen, delivering a swift blow.

"Ahh!" Hiruzen screamed in pain, his body shaking, but his eyes held a spark of determination. *I'll get stronger.*

Danzo wiped his hand across Hiruzen's back as he lay on the ground. "Want to admit defeat?"

Hiruzen forced himself to his feet, blood dripping from his wounds. "I accept... I admit defeat."

[Mission Complete. Reward Issued.]

Danzo closed his eyes, savoring the sensation of his new mastery of the three-body technique, his system providing him with new insight. *It seems the time it takes to perform the technique is reduced with each level. At master level, could it be instantaneous?*

"Good work, system," he muttered. "More tasks like this, please."

[System Message: Special tasks depend on specific conditions. The system cannot influence the triggering events, but the host can add more witnesses to the scenes.]

Danzo grinned. "That's fine. I've got plenty more tricks up my sleeve."
