I Got Reincarnated As Danzo!?

"Jin, put on your coat quickly! It's snowing outside."

"No, no! It's fine! I'm going to find Brother Danzo!"

Shimura Jin'i, wrapped in a red winter outfit but missing her thick outer coat, looked like a little red dumpling as she ran down the freshly cleared path toward him. Her small feet left prints in the thin layer of snow.

Not far away, a group of children from the Shimura clan were engaged in a snowball fight, while others played ninja games, their laughter echoing through the cold air.

Standing at the door of his house, Shimura Danzo reached out and caught a falling snowflake.

It was New Year's Eve.

Over the past year, the village had begun to stabilize—Konoha's ninja system was fully implemented, and the mission structure had been put in place. However, Danzo had heard that the other nations were beginning to form their own ninja villages.

"As expected, there are always smart people in this world… but since I'm here, I won't let them catch up so easily."

Yet, something nagged at the back of his mind.

Wait… something important happens this year…

His pupils shrank slightly as realization hit him.

The second year of Konoha… Uchiha Madara leaves the village!

Danzo's expression darkened.

Losing Madara would be a major blow to Konoha—his power alone was enough to tip the balance of the ninja world.

"If I remember correctly, Madara left because he believed Tobirama-sensei wouldn't let him become the Second Hokage…"

A smirk tugged at Danzo's lips.

Then the solution is simple—I'll make sure Madara doesn't leave.

He activated the Shadow Corps technique, summoning his trusted subordinate, Furukawa Kei.

Within moments, a figure emerged from the darkness, kneeling before him.

"Your humble servant greets you, my lord."

Lord? Danzo smirked at the title. He rather liked it.

"How have things been going over the past six months?" Danzo asked without turning around.

Furukawa Kei immediately responded with unwavering respect, "Thanks to your guidance, the **Black Shadow Corps** has secured a strong position in the black market. Especially now that your strength has reached the Chunin level, our forces have expanded to a hundred members, capable of assassinating Chunin-level targets."

Danzo nodded in satisfaction.

"And our business?"

"We are thriving! Thanks to the new commodities and ideas you provided, we're now earning nearly **one million ryo a day**!"

Danzo raised an eyebrow. "How much do we have in total? Could we buy a newspaper company?"

Furukawa Kei smiled confidently. "Of course! We could buy **ten** newspaper companies if needed."

Danzo let out a small chuckle, then waved his hand in command.

"Then buy **ten newspapers** and have them work overtime. Hire a skilled editor and publish a story about the friendship between the **First Hokage and Uchiha Madara**. Make sure it emphasizes their bond, their trust, and their shared dream for the village. The story must spread throughout Konoha as soon as possible!"

Furukawa Kei bowed deeply. "Consider it done."

Heh… let's see how things change now.

As he finished giving his orders, a series of light knocks came from the gate.

*Knock, knock, knock.*

"Brother Danzo, I came to see you!"

Furukawa Kei immediately vanished back into the **Shadow Realm**, leaving no trace behind.

Danzo walked over and opened the courtyard door.

Standing outside in the snow was Shimura Jin'i, her small face flushed red from the cold, but her bright eyes sparkled with excitement.

He smiled, reached out, and gently pinched her cheek. "Did you run here without your coat again?"

Jin'i giggled but didn't answer.

Danzo brushed the snow off her clothes and took her small hand, leading her inside. His large hand wrapped around hers, sharing his warmth.

From a short distance, Shimura Natsuka, the clan leader's wife, watched them with a fond smile. When Danzo greeted her, she snapped out of her thoughts and nodded in approval.

"Aunt Natsuka?" Danzo called.

"Oh, I'm fine," she said quickly. "Jin'i will be in your care for the morning. Train her properly, don't let her slack off."

Danzo chuckled. "No problem. I'll make sure she gets a proper workout."

The moment her mother left, Jin'i pouted. "Ugh… Brother Danzo, you have no idea how hard Mother trains me…"

"Hahaha, the outside world is cruel. If you want to protect your family, you need to train hard."

Jin'i crossed her arms and huffed. "I *know*, I *know*… But I want Toothless to train with me today! Can he?"

Danzo sighed. Being an only child in both his past and present life, he couldn't resist spoiling such an adorable little sister.

"…Fine, fine."

He bit his finger and pressed it to the ground.

Summoning Jutsu!

*Poof!*

A small dragon, about one meter long, appeared amidst a puff of smoke.

Toothless yawned lazily, stretched, and prepared to go back to sleep—until his half-lidded eyes landed on **her**.

Jin'i was already running toward him with open arms.

Oh no. Not her!

With a panicked leap, Toothless tried to escape, but it was too late. He was caught and dragged away toward the backyard training ground, leaving deep claw marks in the dirt.

Danzo smirked and turned his attention back to his own thoughts.

Danzo smirked.

With his current strength, he could take on Special Jonin-level opponents.

Meanwhile, in the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Kagami were on the verge of reaching Chunin.

Geniuses are still geniuses, after all.

But after my 'careful' planning, Madara shouldn't defect this time… probably.

Danzo chuckled to himself. "If Madara becomes the **Second Hokage**, then Sensei will be the **Third**, and I'll be the most handsome **Fourth Hokage**."

He suppressed a laugh.

With a quick series of hand seals, he created a Shadow Clone.

"Alright, you take care of Jin'i. I've got things to do."

The clone scowled as Danzo rushed out the door.

"…That bastard," it muttered.
