Danzo's Dark Dad Makeover Plan

[Viewing Warnings]

* If there are lots of things that aren't explicitly spelled out, I'm just going to make them up.

* There will absolutely be OOC moments!!! This is just a weird idea that popped into my head one day.

* Mainly, I want to see Danzo raising a kid. At heart, this is a child-raising story.

* Before Yume died, she was a big Orochimaru fan. She admired his pursuit of immortality so much that she eventually became his fan.

Hi, everyone! I'm a Chinese rabbit who has been reborn once. Here's a quick introduction to my current situation: I've become a character in a story, and not just any story, but a high-powered Naruto world where the death rate is sky-high. Luckily, I have a life-in-another-world System. Judging by the name, it should help me do my best to survive.

My family circumstances at birth: -1. My wonderful mother died in childbirth, so from then on, it was just my dad raising me. My father is Uchiha Kagami. He has five close friends and a wonderful teacher.

That's right, that disciple of Tobirama who died young. Dad! My dad! You can't abandon me! Just thinking about Danzo scares me!

"This is your Uncle Danzo. Your dad and he are very close!"

[Shimura Danzo's current affection: 15]

Uchiha Yuu, who had been pushed in front of Danzo, stared at him as he stared back. She turned to look at her dad. He was smiling happily. Then she looked at Danzo, who seemed a little stiff and awkward.

It's fine. It's just Danzo.

If his affection level is showing, I'll win him over even if he's a god!

Uchiha Yuu steeled herself. Don't worry, Dad. I'll work hard to raise the affection levels of your teammates and your teacher, and I'll do my best to get stronger! I'll try to keep the Uchiha from turning out like they do in the original story!

Kagami's daughter isn't like an Uchiha.

That was the verdict of his teacher and teammates.

Kagami thought so too. His daughter seemed to share his own unusual personality, the odd one out among the Uchiha. Yuu was affectionate and clingy, and she especially loved Teacher Tobirama.

Kagami happily thought that his daughter always wanted Teacher Tobirama to hold her as soon as she saw him, and cried when he left. She must have inherited that from me! After all, I love Teacher Tobirama too!

Once she could talk and express herself clearly, she was always asking to follow him around, saying things like, "Daddy, I love you most!" and "I love you, Daddy!" Kagami was on guard duty on the roof outside his teacher's window, wearing a mask, but he kept getting distracted thinking of his adorable daughter and couldn't help laughing out loud. His friend Danzo then pelted him with little stones.

'Come to my place tonight!'

Kagami signaled to Danzo in code. Yuu likes you too, Danzo!

'No!'

'Please! I'll buy you dinner!'

Danzo was happily looking after his friend's daughter. Sometimes, he had no idea what Uchiha Kagami was thinking. Kagami always interpreted Danzo's pranks as attempts to be friends, and kept following him around of his own accord, with his kid in tow. Well, this kind of life wasn't bad.

After a day's work, Danzo was comforted by a little kid giving him candy. He'd gotten just as good as his friend at drawing strength to keep going from an adorable child. Should he find himself a girlfriend?

"Thank you for taking care of me all this time. My daughter... I'm entrusting her to you, Danzo."

Why, Kagami?

Danzo returned to Konoha bearing the news of Kagami's death, like a bird of ill omen. The five of them went to Kagami's home and told Yuu. Looking into her Sharingan was like seeing Kagami again, gravely wounded and giving his life to hold off the enemy so Danzo could escape.

Without thinking, Danzo said, "Your father asked me to look after you. Don't worry, I'll carry out his final wish."

"Uncle Danzo, are you going to become Daddy Danzo?"

Shimura Danzo: !

[Shimura Danzo's current affection: 65]

Shimura Danzo, age twenty-five, unmarried, with one daughter, happily raising his friend's child.

Looking at the tiny girl who'd moved into his home because of what he'd said, Shimura Danzo tried and failed to understand the Uchiha thought process. Seriously, what's with your clan? How can you just hand your kid over to someone else to raise?

Uchiha: A Hokage's disciple is a safe bet!

"Daddy Danzo! I want more dango!"

"No. You've already had some today. Kids shouldn't eat too many sweets."

[Shimura Danzo's current affection: 80]

He firmly refused Yuu's request for dessert. Since raising a child meant buying a house, Danzo had moved out of his apartment and was calculating how much money he'd have left after paying this month's mortgage.

Kagami, how did you manage to raise a kid so effortlessly? If you haven't been reincarnated yet, please visit me in a dream and tell me how!

After finally learning to handle childcare with ease, Danzo came home early one day and saw Yuu giving her beloved dango to Hiruzen's disciple. She was at the age when young crushes started, but kids shouldn't get into puppy love.

Feeling his status in his daughter's heart had dropped, Danzo took it out on his teammate without mercy.

Shimura Danzo: Hiruzen, keep your disciple in line.

Orochimaru: Parents who meddle too much only end up annoying their children.

Theme: Love can change many things.
