Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Under the dark, heavy clouds, the glistening snowflakes grew larger and larger, adding to the oppressive atmosphere.

He arrived at his destination after walking for only ten minutes.

This is a mourning hall. When the family members outside saw Kagura arrive, they bowed in unison to her.

Kagura folded her umbrella, returned the greeting, and slowly walked inside.

Staring blankly at the black and white portrait in the center of the mourning hall, Kagura felt sadness for the first time since she transmigrated.

The person in the portrait is Uchiha Kagami, who was also the one who had always taken care of him.

Perhaps because he heard the news of the death of Jinjiao and Yinjiao, he, who was already weak after being seriously injured the previous year, did not make it through this year.

Looking at that familiar face, Kagura recalled all the little things that had happened before.

In the first few days after the transmigration, perhaps due to fear of the change in environment or worry about their future.

For those few days, Kagura practically locked herself in her room.

Finally, Uchiha Kagami rushed in and carried him out, having almost fainted from hunger.

When he finally accepted the truth and began to cultivate diligently, it was Jing who taught him the methods of cultivation.

Kagami is like an anomaly among the Uchiha clan. He is not as proud as the other clan members. Instead, he is like a sun, warming those around him.

So even though Kagura consciously distanced herself from the Uchiha clan, she became a unique friend only with him.

Kagura bowed respectfully three times to the front, then looked at the family members beside her.

Lady Kagami was dressed in a white Japanese-style dress, and her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.

Beside her, a little boy who was only three or four years old knelt down.

Looking at the little boy, he knew that this was Kagami's son, and the father of Uchiha Shisui, the original owner of the Kotoamatsukami ninjutsu.

After bowing to the mother and child, Kagura left.

Stepping out of the mourning hall and gazing at the dark, oppressive sky, Kagura took a deep breath.

Only then did he feel himself beginning to integrate into this world, experiencing the joys and sorrows that these characters, who were originally just characters in comics, brought him.

She shook her head, as if trying to drive the sadness out of her mind.

Kagura opened her umbrella again and walked towards home.

But as soon as he got to his door, he was surprised to find that the lights were already on.

Did I leave the lights on when I left?

Kagura muttered a question to herself and opened the door to her house.

"Happy birthday!"

As soon as he stepped through the door, a shower of colorful ribbons erupted in front of him as the celebratory voice rang out.

After tidying up the dandruff in his hair, he looked blankly at the three familiar figures.

It was none other than Team 7's teammates: Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru.

He asked in confusion:

"How did you get into my house? And what's your birthday?"

Tsunade replied with a smile:

"Oh, you didn't lock the door when you left, so we just came in."

We're naturally celebrating your 9th birthday!

"My birthday?"

This was the first time Kagura had ever known the date of her own birthday.

There was nothing he could do; when he transmigrated, the parents of this body had already passed away.

He also instinctively rejected other members of his clan, and even Uchiha Kagami, the only one close to him, didn't know the date of his birthday.

So, since he transmigrated, he has sadly never celebrated a single birthday.

Over time, he also forgot his correct birthday.

This time, it was only because Tsunade had written down his information when they were in school that she knew his birthday.

So starting yesterday, she teamed up with Orochimaru and Jiraiya to prepare a surprise for him.

But to her surprise, Kagura was so disrespectful today, refusing her request and leaving without giving them a chance to speak.

Undeterred, Tsunade naturally wouldn't give up, and she still brought the prepared items to Kagura's doorstep.

Fortunately, Kagura forgot to lock the door when she went out today because of the snow, otherwise Tsunade's original plan was to just force the door down...

Looking at his three smiling companions, and the table full of delicious food and cakes behind them.

Kagura's previously bewildered face slowly broke into a smile, and she looked sincerely at the three of them, saying:

"Thank you, thank you for everything you've prepared for me."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade smiled and took a step forward, grasping his hand and leading him behind her.

As he walked, he said:

"Come on, blow out the candles first, then try these foods."

We bought these with the rewards we earned from completing tasks, and we had to wait in line for a long time to get them.

"I paid for the food myself."

"What do you mean? I didn't buy the cake?"

.............

Amidst the commotion, Kagura looked at the cake covered in candles and blew them out forcefully.

Seeing the joyful look in his companions' eyes, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

“Mr. Jing, it seems I have found a group of very good companions.”

Time always flies when you're at a party, and the three of them left after eating and drinking their fill.

Looking at the somewhat empty room that had been cleaned, Kagura did not feel the loneliness she usually felt.

Looking at the remaining piece of cake in front of him, he was thinking about other things.

With his familiarity with the plot, perhaps he can change the tragic fate of these three people.

Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

However, the most important thing to change your destiny is to rely on your own strength.

With that thought, he summoned the One-Tailed Beast from within his body.

After two months, he has successfully increased the cultivation progress of the one-tailed fox from 43% to 56%.

When the progress exceeded 50%, he felt that he could summon the tailed beast inside his body.

Looking at the round, chubby Shukaku in front of her, about the size of a pet dog, Kagura smiled and pushed the remaining piece of cake over, saying:

"Come on, try this cake. I saved it especially for you."

The pure white tail let out a joyful howl, then lay down next to the cake and began to nibble on it.

Although the adorable creature in front of me is completely different from the ferocious Shukaku I remember.

There was no evil chakra, nor any ferocity that threatened to destroy everything.

The tail that emerged from his body looked like a pure white little angel; if it were taken out, it would probably win the hearts of many girls.

Even so, Kagura only dared to release it when she was alone.

There's no way around it; its appearance is still the same as Yiwei's.

Moreover, such abundant chakra would be difficult to avoid being detected by someone like Danzo.

After feeding it cake, Kagura played with it for a while before putting it back into her body.

Kagura stood up, stretched, and began making her bed in preparation for sleep.

There was no other way; in this place where there wasn't much entertainment, he had long since developed the habit of going to bed early and waking up early.

Late at night, Kagura, who was lying in bed, suddenly opened her eyes.

His eyes changed rapidly, transforming directly into the Sharingan form.

He didn't get up immediately, but instead looked warily towards the window.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside the window:

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

However, upon hearing that familiar voice, Kagura, who was initially just on guard, began to tense up.

Because he recognized the owner of that voice as their leader, Danzo.

Seeing no response from inside, Danzo continued, seemingly unconcerned:

"Kagura, get up immediately and prepare your luggage."

Gather at the village gate 15 minutes later.

This is an emergency; we're on an A-level mission!
