"Monster!"

"Why wasn't he dead yet?"

"Get lost!"

Under the dim sunlight, the young Naruto stood there blankly, looking at the hateful, hostile gazes surrounding him.

Tears filled his deep blue eyes, but he stubbornly held them back.

He stood alone in the middle of the street. Everyone kept their distance from him and despised him.

Naruto did not know what he had done wrong, or why these people stayed away from him.

But the crowd's words were like steel blades, stabbing straight into Uzumaki Naruto's tiny heart.

Feelings of loss and loneliness spread through him.

Beneath the shadow of a large tree far from the crowd, Danzo leaned quietly against the trunk, watching that familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

Uzumaki Naruto.

The protagonist of Eye Legend. The entire story of Eye Legend revolved around this boy.

"He looks so pitiful."

Danzo muttered to himself. At the purest and most innocent age, Naruto was suffering the cruelest treatment.

He had observed the little boy for some time, yet Danzo still could not understand how Naruto had developed such an optimistic and positive personality in the anime.

"Die!"

With a vicious curse on his lips, a child about Naruto's age picked up a small stone and hurled it at him.

Before he could dodge, the panicked Naruto was struck on the arm. The stone's sharp edges tore through his tender skin.

A little blood seeped from the wound, staining Naruto's clothes red.

"What bad luck!"

The adult beside the child frowned and spoke. After glancing at the others nearby, he coldly took the child's hand and left.

The people around them turned a blind eye to the scene.

No one cared about Naruto, who stood alone where he was, and no one felt sorry for him.

They did not look at him as though he were one of their own kind. Their eyes were filled with rejection and hatred.

"What a coldhearted sight." Danzo narrowed his eyes. Treating a child this way, yet no one felt shame or pity.

Did they think it was only natural?

But what happened next made Killing Intent flash even more sharply in Danzo's narrowed eyes.

The other children nearby saw this and began copying them. Their bright, innocent eyes searched the ground for pebbles, and they threw them one after another at Naruto as he kept backing away.

"That's enough. Stop them." Danzo spoke to the empty space around him, anger on his cold face. It seemed that because he was here, the Anbu hidden in the shadows had not acted.

"Yes."

A reply sounded through the air.

Judging by the voice, it could only be determined that it belonged to a man, but it was difficult to tell his age.

No figure appeared, but a clear sound of air being torn rang out. On the street before them, almost everyone froze in an instant like puppets on strings.

Genjutsu.

No matter how many times he saw it, Danzo always found this power far too wondrous.

Then, as the hidden caster altered these people's memories, everyone acted as though they had never seen Naruto in the middle of the road and dazedly resumed the work they had left unfinished.

The entire street was peaceful and bustling.

Only the lonely, somewhat bedraggled figure in the middle of the road silently left.

From beneath the tree's shadow, Danzo quietly watched Naruto's retreating back. With a sigh, he vanished.

More than ten days ago, a soul from another world had descended into Shimura Danzō's body and devoured his soul.

After adapting over the past few days, he had become familiar with all the memories Danzo should have possessed, but he had not been influenced by the original Shimura Danzō's ruthlessness and venom.

Seeing a confused young child treated this way, Danzo's heart was still deeply stirred, even though he knew the former owner of this body was heavily connected to it.

Looking at the young, handsome face in the mirror, Danzo felt intensely unfamiliar with it.

He had been here for some time, yet he still was not used to this face.

After transmigrating to this world, perhaps because a new soul had entered it, Danzo's body had become younger as well.

After reviewing this body's memories, Danzo immediately recognized this familiar world.

The world of Eye Legend was quite dangerous.

If events followed the plot, Shimura Danzō would be killed more than ten years later.

"Lord Danzo, the Third Lord has summoned you." A masked Root member came to Danzo's side, knelt on one knee, and reported.

"I know."

Danzo shifted his gaze away from the mirror and replied indifferently, as though he had expected this.

He had hidden away for some time to adapt to this body. It was time to meet his old acquaintance, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

When he had been observing Naruto earlier, Danzo had already sensed the feeling of being watched.

Telescope Technique?

He had forgotten about that.

Danzo did not react strongly. Although he had not been a politician in his previous life, he had often walked the line between life and death. He possessed at least this much mental fortitude.

By the time he left the Root base, the sky had already darkened.

Under the faint moonlight, four Root Ninjas crouched beside a sedan chair and waited quietly.

He had been in the ninja world for some time, but in his previous life, he had long been used to traveling by car. He was not accustomed to running everywhere like these people, so he had specifically ordered someone to make him a sedan chair.

Danzo strolled up to the sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and settled inside. The four Root Ninjas stood, steadily lifted the chair, and carried it.

Moving with perfect coordination, they raced across the rooftops toward the Hokage Building.

There was almost no swaying inside the sedan chair. Danzo reclined comfortably and reached out to tap the air.

A chat window resembling a QQ group appeared on a virtual panel that no one but Danzo could see.

"Good Person System."

This was the virtual panel Danzo had obtained after transmigrating, one that only he could see.

-- Main Attribute Panel Name: Shimura Danzō. Age: Twenty-one. Strength: C. Body: C. Speed: A. Spirit: A. Skills: Strength Amplification (Unactivated) Body Amplification (Unactivated) Speed Amplification (Unactivated) Spirit Amplification (Unactivated) Skill Points: 1 --

He had completely inherited the physical abilities of Danzo, the previous owner of this body. Although he currently could not regain Danzo's peak strength merely by reviewing his memories.

He still had the foundation from his previous life, so using thirty to forty percent of his taijutsu ability was basically no problem.

As for techniques such as ninjutsu and genjutsu, Danzo needed to relearn them from the beginning.

Looking at his sole Skill Point, Danzo considered which skill amplification he should unlock first.

As the name implied, the Good Person System required Danzo to become someone others considered a good person.

When others sincerely felt gratitude and admiration for Danzo from the bottom of their hearts, he could obtain Skill Points.

Using Skill Points, he could unlock and activate the four amplification skills in the skill panel, then continuously develop the paths of the subsequent skill tree.

Despite having been in this world for so long, Danzo had only made one person feel genuine gratitude and admiration for him.

That was why he had only one Skill Point.

"Lord Danzo, we have arrived at the Hokage Building." An emotionless voice sounded.

While his attention had been focused on the system, Danzo had unknowingly arrived at the Hokage Building.

~~~Quite a few people have mentioned the protagonist's background, so I'll briefly explain. He had no particular background in his previous life—I do not know what background he had either. In any case, he was incredibly capable and could do everything.

When I previously wrote an ordinary protagonist transmigrating, logically there had to be a period of mental adjustment. But many people thought the protagonist was stupid because of that process and dropped the story.

Now I write someone who can do anything, use a few passages to show that he was amazing in his previous life and adapted quickly, and why do people start guessing that he is the heir of some hidden family?

He has transmigrated already. His previous-life background is not important, right? As long as people know he is amazing, isn't that enough?
