Transmigrating into Danzo: In the Name of the Ninja

“By rights, a ninja of your rank isn’t qualified to investigate me!”

As Root expanded, Sarutobi Hiruzen sent someone to investigate the organization.

In Konoha Year 20, Senju Tobirama died in battle. Sarutobi Hiruzen took the position of Hokage, and Danzo woke up to find that another soul had taken over his body.

The scapegoat of the village?

Not even a dog would do it!

Danzo declared: “Power? I want it. The people’s support? I want that too. Strength? I want that as well.

I want it all.”

So when Danzo presented his reform plan for the Ninja Academy, Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly objected. “Danzo, you’re being too radical!”

Danzo immediately retorted, “No, Hiruzen, you’re the one with too little vision!”

When Sarutobi Hiruzen decided not to send aid to the Uzumaki clan, Danzo firmly opposed him. “The Uzumaki clan is Konoha’s closest ally. They’re comrades who can fight alongside us. If we abandon even our own allies, is there any point in the Will of Fire?”

When Hiruzen yielded and backed down in the face of war, Danzo sighed. “Without me, this village will fall apart sooner or later.”

He improved institutions, advanced technology, trained talent, transformed the way ninjas lived, and established a sacred land where ninjas could cultivate immortality...

One day, Danzo stood on the roof of the Hokage Tower as countless people below cheered wildly. He announced, “In the name of the ninja, let Konoha shine like the blazing sun!”
