Naruto: Offend Entire Shinobi World By Strengthening Bonds

**Chapter 8: Kusanagi – The Special Reward Brought by the Final Bond**

"It's just a birthday present. Was it really worth a special trip?"

Shimura Gengetsu muttered but still opened the wooden box.

Inside lay a katana—slender, sharp, and gleaming coldly, as if it could slice through anything with ease. The hilt was wrapped in a snake-like skin texture to enhance grip.

Shimura's eyes widened. "Is this...?"

The Kusanagi Sword?

"Not bad," Danzo said coolly, though a trace of pride flickered in his expression.

"Orochimaru heard it was your birthday and asked me to give this to you. Consider it a gift from both of us."

Shimura Gengetsu fell silent.

Yeah, right. Like Orochimaru would just hand over the Kusanagi Sword out of kindness.

If he didn't know what kind of person Orochimaru was, he might have believed it. But even so, he was genuinely touched.

Danzo had either coerced Orochimaru or struck some kind of deal for this sword. Either way, the price wasn't small.

Whatever Danzo might be to others, at least to his grandson, he was sincere.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Danzo froze.

This was... the first time Shimura Gengetsu had ever called him "Grandpa," wasn't it?

—

[Host and Shimura Danzo's bond has reached Stage Three (Final Level). Reward: One Standard Jōnin Chakra. Special Talent Unlocked—"Ninja World Darkness."]

[Ninja World Darkness: The Host can hide within any shadow, with concealment comparable to the Mayfly Technique.]

—

Shimura Gengetsu was stunned.

Wait. Just calling him "Grandpa" was enough to max out the bond?

The two stared at each other for a long moment before Danzo cleared his throat to break the awkwardness.

"It's getting late. Go rest, Gengetsu. You have school tomorrow. And remember—don't lose to the Uchiha."

"Oh," Gengetsu nodded, picked up the sword box, and walked back to his room.

At the same time, he made a decision.

Dying just to seal a bridge? Too embarrassing.

Once he grew strong enough, he'd take over the Root. Danzo should just retire and enjoy his old age.

Sitting on his bed, Gengetsu played with the Kusanagi Sword for a while before reviewing his progress.

The gains were insane.

Before, he was just a talented first-year ninja student.

Now? His chakra level was on par with a Jōnin. He'd awakened two more chakra natures and obtained two new special talents.

Earth chakra wasn't a priority—unless he had genius-level affinity, he wasn't interested.

But Yin chakra? That was precious.

Yin was associated with illusions and spiritual techniques, creating something out of nothing. The Nara Clan's shadow jutsu, the Yamanaka Clan's mind control techniques, and even the Uchiha's Sharingan were linked to Yin chakra.

If he ever acquired the Sharingan bloodline, this would be crucial.

However...

His gaze drifted back to the Kusanagi Sword.

Right now, swordsmanship should be his main focus.

With his advanced wind-style nature transformation, his sword attacks could be as deadly as a Jōnin's ninjutsu.

And that Jōnin-level chakra reserve...

After testing it, he estimated it was around fifty times a Genin's chakra and five times a Chūnin's.

Still, it hadn't reached the standard unit of the ninja world—the "card."

Makes sense. Even Kakashi, who constantly burned chakra to maintain his Sharingan, wasn't at the absolute bottom of the Jōnin level.

Time to grind those bonds.

The rewards from second- and third-stage bonds were ridiculously powerful. Strengthening those ties would skyrocket his growth.

Gengetsu set a new goal—become the ninja world's ultimate social butterfly.

If he formed bonds with everyone, even a resurrected Sage of Six Paths wouldn't stand a chance.

The next day, Gengetsu headed to the Ninja Academy as usual.

Yesterday's incident—blowing up the target with an explosive tag—had spread through the upper grades.

Once people had an impression of him and he learned their names, their initial bonds were established.

More bonds meant more rewards.

After school, Gengetsu took Izumi back home for their lessons with Ebisu.

Technically, Ebisu was only being paid to tutor one student. But since he didn't dare haggle with the Shimura family, he had no choice but to include Izumi as well.

With his mother-in-law's buff and the combat talent of Uchiha Itachi, Gengetsu's rapid progress shocked Ebisu.

His mastery of Konoha's basic taijutsu had already surpassed most Genin.

At this rate, Ebisu feared he'd be out of a job soon.

For the first time, he felt worried.

Meanwhile, Izumi, the black-haired loli, wasn't thinking about any of that.

Her big, bright eyes sparkled as she watched Gengetsu in admiration.

'Gengetsu is amazing! And he's not even showing his full strength at school!'

'I have to work harder! I won't let him leave me behind!'
