Naruto: Dream To Immortality - Chapter 108

Chapter 108

…

I just turn around and look at Tsume… she has finally understood that wild hair doesn’t suit her at all. So she has straightened and let it freely flow down. Now she doesn’t look like the wild tomboy Tsume. She even has a soft smile on her face and stopped being a tsundere.

She has truly changed and m.a.t.u.r.ed a lot. She is a Chunin now, which is pretty good for her age group since not a lot reach Chunin in their teens… not impressive but it’s still better than Genin and now she also has a Giant Bat as her pet that she can summon. She should be able to reach Jounin level in her twenties.

She just sighs and then says with a tired voice. “Don’t worry too much. I will take care of the Clan while you are away. I won’t let any old man ruin anything that you have worked so hard to build.”

I just smile at her. She knows some of the stuff that is going on behind the scenes. Since I have been taking any talented orphans into the clan. And well… there is another person who would like those orphans to become his tools in his little secret boy band. This other person… is Danzo… since I also haven’t delivered anything or shown any progress on the promise that I made him about making a wood style user in a year in exchange for him giving me access to the Hashirama Cells…

So he started playing little political shadow games with me. It is true that Danzo is good at politics… for a ninja that is… but for a person like me who comes from the 21st Century… my little brother used to be better at them than Danzo… so within the first month of our little games I economically ruined the Shimura Clan. Closed all of its shops and its only source of income being it’s ninja… which are strangely dying a lot in the conflict.

The Hokage has decided to stay neutral during my Cold War with Danzo. And he better stay like that if he doesn’t want all of the civilians of the Sarutobi Clan to become beggars.

Anyway Danzo… like I predicted… has started to use his little Root Ninja to try and forcefully destroy my establishments. But he is so confident in his little trained puppets that he has forgotten that they are humans… you can NEVER turn a human into a puppet… or he will be used against you… I have six root members as my spies… what some people like them will do for you if you show them kindness.

I also easily took care of the Fuinjutsu that stops them from talking about Root to others. Also me literally having thousands of normal looking mosquitoes spying on his every move… even when he sh*ts… had definitely helped me a lot. I accept that I definitely am an absolute control freak and when I don’t  like something I change it not the other way around , I don’t like changing myself for others. Definitely terrible in a relationship…

He hasn’t even noticed that I have started having my clones assassinate his Ninja Clan Members as soon as they take any mission B rank or above. The way that they die is different every time, though they might start suspecting something… well they have already started suspecting that I am doing something but they have no proof so there is that. Though it seems like I will need to start moving my plan faster to the  elimination of Danzo. I can’t allow the 3rd Ninja War to start and give Danzo time to counter attack me. He needs to be eliminated NOW… Danzo is too dangerous to allow him to think of a good counter attack against me.

Also I poisoned all of his nephews… of course I made them look like some type of new natural sickness. He no longer has an air for his clan. I think that he probably noticed what I have done to his nephews… and I must say he has good self control… if he does even one careless move against me… he would already be dead… but I guess him picking a fight with me is already considered a dumb move made by Danzo. He thought that he could just use his political power as an elder to put me down. Well that is too bad for him…

He had tried a couple of times to poison my Clan’s water supply but I also already expected that so no one was hurt… and poisoned 97% of his Root Ninja as a warning to him. So now the Root Ninjas numbers are around forty and most of them are at Genin or Chunin level. I mean I just think… What would I do if I was in Danzo’s position… and that is why I don’t even take showers in my house in case of acidic water. And I have sent all of my ninja clan members in missions so even if Danzo somehow kills my civilian clan members I wouldn’t suffer any huge losses. Also I have mosquitoes spying on each of my clan members in case of a traitor amongst them or any of them being in danger while outside of Konoha.

Honestly this is like child’s play to me. People say that a cornered animal is more fierce… and some even use it as a metaphor that a cornered enemy is more dangerous…

But to me a cornered enemy is already dead… in my eyes Danzo is already dead… really the only thing keeping him and the Shimura Clan alive is the Hokage… he might act recklessly if Danzo suddenly dies… every Clan head knows the battle in the dark going on against me and Danzo. Of course there are some unspoken rules about not involving the rest of Konoha and causing a Civil War… but honestly that sounds more like one of Konoha’s problems than mine… so I already recruited most of the Clans in Konoha to my side.

I have also already hired some strong rogue ninja to kill any Shimura Clan member and they will be rewarded quite nicely if they do so… if Danzo decides to make the first move and make a move that has the slightest chance of causing a Civil War… then he will just give me a reason to kill him. Honestly I am just waiting for the inevitable wrong move that he will make so I can get rid of him and then make the Shimura Clan a subordinate clan of the Inuzuka… honestly that is their best outcome… well it is their only outcome where they aren’t completely obliterated.

Danzo really did a bad move… he should have known that I already hold Konoha’s economy by the throat… if I wanted I could put a little pressure in there and start choking Konoha economically.

Monopoly is such a good thing (for me)… especially when it’s not illegal. I would give Danzo and the Shimura Clan around a couple more months before they die out. Now I just should look out for any irrational moves from the Hokage.

….

After giving some instructions to Tsume on how to do nothing and just keep the clan going how it is. I even made a couple of clones to be here and notify me if something happens and I will be hore in a flash… literally…

….

Then I arrive at Konoha’s front gates ready to put another A Rank mission on my record. I really should start experimenting with the Byakugan when I return from this mission.

AUTHOR NOTE:

Some of you might have been worried about the MC because maybe he is in danger because of Danzo… and I just wanted to reassure you that he isn’t in danger… he IS THE DANGER. The MC is the scary guy behind the scenes not the other way around. He has won every encounter he has had with Danzo. Now all that he is waiting for it is for Danzo to slip and then the MC will break his neck. Also we see that he betrayed Danzo without a second thought, and the MC won’t keep his promises (as expected) if it doesn’t benefit him. After all, giving Danzo a wood style iser would be dumb.
