With No Money or Connections, I Had No Choice but to Become a Ninja

What should you do after transmigrating into the Naruto world?

Make your strengths known in moderation, gradually earn the trust and promotion of your superiors, and, of course, aim to stay somewhere safe in the rear.

Of course, Sakakibara Toru would be delighted to meet important people who recognized his talents.

“Good morning, Lord Orochimaru!”

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. “Mm, just call me Teacher.”

What a lovely day. Lord Orochimaru is as radiant as ever.

“By the way, Toru, what's your goal? To become Hokage?”

Sakakibara Toru rubbed his chin. “If I had to say, I'd prefer something like Hokage's aide.”

Danzo was startled. “So that's the position you've had your eye on! It's not out of the question, as long as you support me becoming Hokage...”

This old geezer really knows how to dream.

A slow-burn growth story in the early stages, shifting to a behind-the-scenes story later on.
