Naruto: Offend Entire Shinobi World By Strengthening Bonds

Chapter 1: Madam, You Don't Want Your Son to Be Bullied in the Ninja School, Right?

Fifty-two years after the founding of Konoha.

It has been a year since the Nine-Tails Rebellion. The wounds caused by the demon fox are slowly healing, and the village is gradually regaining its prosperity.

"Madam, you don't want your child to be bullied at ninja school, do you?"

In the bustling commercial district, in front of a dumpling shop, the owner, Mrs. Mieko, stared at the little boy before her. He had black hair and black eyes, a handsome face, and a charm as delicate as the most exquisite doll.

She couldn't believe that such threatening words had come from his mouth.

The young woman smiled awkwardly. "Little one, if you don't have money, that's okay. Just go home, bring it next time, and—"

Before she could finish speaking, a chubby boy rushed out from the back room, crying and pleading with her not to take the money.

Mieko suddenly realized that the child wasn't lying!

In the end, at her son's insistence, not only did she waive the payment for the dumplings, but she even gave away a few extra tri-colored dumplings.

The little boy smiled in satisfaction. "Auntie, you're very understanding. Don't worry, I'll take care of your son at school from now on. My name is Shimura Gengetsu."

With that, the boy turned around, carrying his packed food, and disappeared into the crowd.

Mieko stood frozen for a long time before turning to her son, who looked relieved. Anxiously, she asked, "Taro, did that kid bully you at school?"

The child, Taro, shook his head weakly. "No, no… but Shimura is the grandson of the Hokage's assistant.

Anyone who offends him has a miserable time..."

Thinking of the students who had been beaten so badly that they didn't return to school for a week, Taro shuddered.

It was terrifying.

Not only did the teachers never scold Shimura, but they even praised him for his strength.

If his mother had taken the money today, wouldn't he have been the next one to be beaten?

The Hokage's assistant?

Mieko was stunned.

That was a powerful figure—Shimura Danzo...

No wonder.

Mieko was familiar with the surname.

Although she wasn't a ninja, she knew it belonged to one of the village's most formidable clans.

Shimura Gengetsu…

Mieko silently committed the name to memory.

For the sake of her son's well-being and their survival in the village, she decided that as long as Shimura Gengetsu visited her shop, she wouldn't charge him a single coin.

At the Same Time

[Ding——!]

[Congratulations to the Host for establishing a fear bond with Saiba Mieko and Saiba Taro, and receiving the rewards: 'Grandmaster of Meatball Making' and '0.1 Standard Unit of Genin Chakra.']

—

The system notification echoed in Shimura Gengetsu's mind. After seeing the reward, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

This system is really unreliable.

Shimura Gengetsu, a transmigrator who had arrived in the world of Hokage, had been reborn here.

The moment he was born, he saw a woman smiling gently at him—before closing her eyes forever.

His father had died on the battlefield while his mother was still pregnant.

A standard protagonist setup—orphaned at birth.

Unfortunately for him, though, he had a grandfather.

Shimura Danzo.

In this world, no matter how villainous someone was, there were always die-hard fans eager to redeem them.

Obito, the lovesick fool.

Madara, the war-hardened warrior.

Even the lone swordsman who slaughtered his clan had his share of admirers.

But Shimura Danzo?

Not a single one.

Instead, even those who redeemed other villains would shift all blame onto Danzo.

Not his fault, blame the old guy.

When Gengetsu first realized his identity, he felt his future was bleak.

But after a few days of lying in a nanny's arms, deep in thought, he had a revelation.

Maybe… this isn't so bad.

Compared to other transmigrators who found themselves in the Naruto world, his identity was actually pretty advantageous.

Look at all the overpowered characters—hadn't Danzo always tried to take them out the moment they showed potential?

Gengetsu didn't have to worry about that.

As long as he survived any assassination attempts from enemy villages, his childhood would be smooth sailing.

And when the Fourth Great Ninja War began, he had no real reason to panic.

Avoid the front lines, enjoy a dreamlike life in Infinite Tsukuyomi, and wake up to a world of peace.

Would there be a reckoning?

Impossible.

Naruto and Sasuke, as typical hot-blooded protagonists, wouldn't hold a grudge against him just because of Danzo.

Sounds pretty comfortable~

Having figured things out, Gengetsu let go of his unnecessary worries and fully embraced his status as the eldest son of the Shimura family.

In Konoha, the Hokage—Sarutobi Hiruzen—needed to maintain appearances.

Danzo? He wasn't Hokage, so he didn't care about appearances at all.

Because of this, while Sarutobi Asuma was strictly disciplined and clashed with his father, Gengetsu became the village's biggest second-generation elite.

The true prince of Konoha.

Compared to him, the prestige Konohamaru later enjoyed was nothing.

And as a transmigrator, he naturally had an advantage.

Since birth, a progress bar had existed in his mind.

Then, three days ago—on his sixth birthday—the system finally activated.

[The Strongest Ninja Bond System]

By forming bonds with others, he could extract their unique traits as rewards.

These traits could include chakra natures, special talents, chakra itself, or even mastered jutsu.

The depth of the bond and the strength of the person determined the quality of the reward.

Just now, by learning each other's names and leaving a strong impression, he had formed a basic bond with the dumpling shop owner.

If their relationship deepened, he could continue earning more rewards.

However…

Seeing that the boss lady's greatest talent was dumpling making, Gengetsu lost all interest in further interactions.

"Master, it's time for today's training."

A young man with an almost nonexistent presence, wearing sunglasses, appeared behind Gengetsu.

No one in the bustling street even noticed him.

Aburame Seiji—a Root ninja, with the strength of a Special Jonin and assigned as Gengetsu's bodyguard.

His partner, Yamanaka Ryo, remained hidden in the shadows—so well that Gengetsu had never even seen him.

"Got it," Gengetsu responded lazily, then walked into another shop owned by one of his classmates.

Using the same routine, he established two more bonds and received another free gift—a bag of round fans.

[Introduction to Round Fan Making, Standard Genin Chakra +0.1]

Satisfied, Gengetsu left the commercial district, carrying his dumplings and fans, and returned to the Shimura family estate.
