Uchiha Kagami looked at Danzo's overwhelming number of votes in stunned silence.
*"I didn't expect Danzo to be this popular… It seems he truly values peace and the village."*
Nearby, an Uchiha child, puzzled by the results, turned to his friend.
"Why does Danzo-sama have so many votes?"
A civilian child quickly responded, his voice brimming with admiration.
"Because Boss Danzo always helps us!"
"Yeah! He not only makes sure we have enough to eat, but he also taught us how to extract chakra!"
"He even taught us ninjutsu!"
The clan children in the area were immediately taken aback. Teaching the chakra extraction method and ninjutsu to commoners without approval? That was unheard of.
One of them, a boy from the Shimura clan, glared at Danzo and pointed an accusing finger at him.
"Shimura Danzo! How dare you share family ninjutsu without permission?!"
Danzo lazily lifted an eyelid, recognizing the boy as the grandson of the Shimura clan's elder.
'Ah, so that's why he's acting so arrogant. His grandfather must've been comparing him to me all this time.'
The commoner child who had spoken earlier shrank back nervously.
"D-Did I say something wrong?"
Danzo walked over, placing a reassuring hand on the boy's head.
"No, you did nothing wrong."
The elder's grandson clenched his fists. "Danzo! Are you even listening to me?!"
Instead of responding, Danzo unleashed a wave of killing intent, far exceeding that of a mere academy student.
The boy stumbled backward in fear, his previous confidence evaporating.
Before he could recover, Danzo finally spoke.
"First, now that we're all part of the same village, non-clan-exclusive ninjutsu should be shared for the benefit of Konoha as a whole. Second, the techniques I teach are my own original creations—along with the standard Academy Three Jutsu."
"You… created your own ninjutsu? That's impossible!"
Danzo smirked and turned to one of his students.
"Mizuki Yuma, demonstrate."
A cold-eyed child nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes, Boss Danzo!"
**Wind Release: Wind Cutter!**
A sharp gust of wind slashed forward, cleanly splitting a massive tree in half.
Silence fell over the group.
"…That's a C-rank jutsu," someone muttered in disbelief.
"Shimura Danzo actually created a C-rank ninjutsu at this age?"
"Sometimes… the gap between people is greater than the gap between humans and pigs."
"Boss Danzo is amazing!"
The elder's grandson paled further, unable to find a retort.
"Anything else?" Danzo asked, his voice calm.
Before anyone could answer, a crisp clapping sound echoed through the air.

A white-haired man stepped forward, emerging from the shadows.
The children instantly recognized him and bowed respectfully.
"Lord Tobirama!"
Even the normally stern and reserved Tobirama Senju was smiling.
"Danzo Shimura is absolutely right," he said, scanning the crowd. "From now on, Konoha must move beyond outdated clan mentalities. The village should come first."
Then, he turned to Danzo, eyes gleaming with interest.
"Shimura Danzo, would you like to become my disciple?"
Danzo's heart skipped a beat.
'This… This wasn't how things happened originally. In the previous timeline, I wasn't Tobirama's direct disciple—only a member of his guard squad. But now…'
A moment later, he made his decision.
"Teacher, please accept my respect as your student."
Without hesitation, he finalized their relationship before Tobirama could change his mind.
Tobirama chuckled and glanced at two civilian children standing nearby.
"If Konoha is to truly embrace the future, we must support civilian ninja development. That said…"
He turned to face them directly.
"Mitokado Homura, Koharu Utatane—would you also like to be my students?"
Homura and Koharu exchanged shocked looks before eagerly nodding.
"Yes, Lord Tobirama!"
Tobirama hummed thoughtfully.
'I should also consider taking in that Sarutobi kid… I'm not sure where he is now. And Kagami… a pity that he's Uchiha.'
With that, he addressed the three new students.
"In seven days, meet me at Training Ground Three at exactly 2 PM. I will personally assess your abilities."
"Yes, Teacher!" they responded in unison.
With a swift flicker, Tobirama vanished from sight.

Senju Isao walked up to Danzo, beaming.
"Boss Danzo! I can't believe you're going to be Lord Tobirama's disciple!"
A few feet away, a couple of small-clan ninja whispered amongst themselves.
"It makes sense for Danzo, but why those two commoners?"
"Just dumb luck, I guess."
Danzo caught some of the murmuring but ignored it. Instead, he raised his hand.
"Listen up, everyone!" His voice silenced the crowd. "Although I am your boss, I won't impose my ideas on you. Instead, I'm forming a **committee for self-governance.**"
The clan children immediately looked relieved. After all, if Danzo had the power to distribute ninjutsu freely, their own families might punish them just for associating with him.
Seeing no opposition, Danzo continued.
"Here are the committee members:
- Uchiha Kagami
- Hyuga Tenichi
- Senju Isao
- Akimichi Takakaze
- Sarutobi Hiruzen
- Mitokado Homura
- Koharu Utatane
- Aburame Keita
- Inuzuka Ren
"In addition, I will act as chairman. Any objections?"
"...No," the group responded.
One boy, a watermelon-headed child, clenched his fists in admiration.
*"He even includes people who opposed him? This is true leadership!"*
A single-ponytailed boy smirked, yawning.
*"He's covering all factions evenly. Smart move."*
Danzo clapped his hands.
"Alright. Meeting adjourned."
As the crowd dispersed, he let out a quiet sigh.
*"It's still the first year of Konoha. The concept of a united village isn't deeply rooted yet. People are still clinging to their clans."*
He looked down at his hands.
*"I need more power."*
Currently, even Kakashi would outclass him. The guy was a **Genin at five** and a **Chunin at six.**
Danzo scoffed.
*"I refuse to be weaker than that cheat code of a child."*
