Become the God of Ninjas starting from Danganronpa.

"Everyone, please don't be nervous. I am Senju You from Konoha Village. You should have heard of this name before."

"Huh? Senju You?" The two were taken aback. It wasn't that they didn't know the name, but rather that it was so familiar that they were a little slow to react. "Isn't Senju You that loser?"

"I remember he seemed to have gone missing a while ago."

"Why would someone who's gone missing come here? Could they have been recruited as a spy?" With that thought in mind, the two guards reached for the shuriken at their waists.

It's no wonder they're so nervous; after all, this is a sensitive period, and it's always better to be cautious.

"You two need not be nervous. He escaped from the village on his own some time ago. We ran into him when we returned from our mission, so we brought him here for Lord Jiraiya to deal with." Might Guy immediately stepped forward and laid out the words that Dongfang Yao had told him beforehand, while also pointing to the ropes on Dongfang Yao's body.

The meaning is clear: he's just a bottom runner, and he's still firmly tied down, so there's no need to be too nervous.

The two guards exchanged a glance and then gave Dongfang Yao another thorough check, mainly to see if he was using any disguises such as transformation techniques.

The atmosphere relaxed only after confirming that Dongfang Yao was not faking it.

Although they haven't completely let their guard down, things aren't as tense as they were at the beginning.

"I'll go report to Lord Jiraiya. You all wait here." With that, one of the guards ran towards the command post.

Soon, the guard brought Jiraiya's orders: Might Guy and the others were to go to the scribe to check on the completion of the mission, while Dongfang Yao was taken to meet Jiraiya alone.

"It's alright, don't worry." Facing the worried looks from Matt Dai and the others, Dongfang Yao returned a confident gaze, and then calmly walked towards the command post.

"You are Senju You?" A bold voice rang out as soon as I entered the command post.

Looking up, I saw a tall, white-haired middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table. He wore a headband with the character "油" (oil) on it, and had two red lines under his eyes. He always had a cynical smile on his face.

This person is none other than Jiraiya, the master of the Child of Destiny, the Perverted Sage, the Liu Bei of the Ninja World, and the supreme master of the Way of Peeping.

"That's right, the real deal." Dongfang Yao stood calmly, his back straight like a javelin.

"You want to pursue Lady Tsunade, but you don't even know anything about her clan?" Dongfang Yao said.

"Well, it's definitely necessary to understand. But the Senju You I know is a boastful good-for-nothing, not a strong person like you." Jiraiya put away his cynical smile and looked at Dongfang Yao with a serious expression.

From the moment the boy stepped into the room, Jiraiya felt a surge of intense and passionate chakra, like the vibrant energy of nature.

This child is no ordinary person.

"You flatter me. I wouldn't dare call myself a strongman in front of Jiraiya, one of the 'Three Legendary Sannin'," Dongfang Yao said calmly.

"Your modesty seems a bit fake." Jiraiya chuckled, stood up, and walked over to Dongfang Yao, scrutinizing him closely. He would occasionally pinch his chest and click his tongue in amazement. "This physique, this chakra... kid, how exactly did you obtain this power?"

"You'll have to ask your friend Orochimaru for that," Dongfang Yao said, as a sharp wooden sword emerged from his shoulder and cut the rope.

"This is Wood Release? How could you..." Jiraiya was shocked to witness this. Recalling what Dongfang Yao had just said, he immediately understood the cause and effect.

"That guy used you for his first-generation adult cell transplant experiments?"

As one of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya's strength rivaled that of the Third Hokage, making his position within Konoha unquestionable. He was well aware of the village's long-standing desire to replicate the First Hokage's bloodline limit. However, previous attempts, undertaken entirely by volunteers, were halted due to the high failure and casualty rates. Unexpectedly, Orochimaru defied the village's prohibitions and secretly continued this forbidden research.

"Yes. That was a near-death experience. If I hadn't been lucky enough to adapt to the cells of the First Generation, I would be nothing but a pile of rotten flesh now." Dongfang Yao's voice was filled with intense hatred.

Jiraiya frowned, not asking how Dongfang Yao escaped from Orochimaru; he was only concerned with one other thing: "Why did you come back?"

Logically speaking, after being forcibly abducted by Orochimaru for human experimentation and nearly losing his life, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Dongfang Yao to harbor deep hatred for the village. But this guy actually ran back on his own—something just doesn't seem right!

"Is there even a question?" Dongfang Yao retorted righteously, as if he had been insulted. "Konoha was won by my ancestors who shed their blood and sacrificed countless lives. Now that it is facing danger, how could I, as a descendant of the Senju clan, possibly stand idly by?"

At this moment, Dongfang Yao seemed to be possessed by Prince Ming, and the Will of Fire was perfectly embodied in him, making him both righteous and evil.

Sensing the intense will in Dongfang Yao's words, Jiraiya was deeply moved. "Good lad! Good lad! As expected of a descendant of the Senju clan, you haven't let Tsunade down."

For the village's underdogs, awakening Wood Release was a meteoric rise, enough to make even the weakest of them become Special Jonin. Yet, despite possessing this power, Dongfang Yao's mind remained uncorrupted; he still wanted to protect the village. Such a character is beyond redemption.

"But... what are you up to now?" Jiraiya said, pointing to the rope on the ground.

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I disappeared without a trace before, and suddenly appearing in the camp at this critical moment is bound to arouse suspicion. Making myself look like this will probably put others at ease and prevent conflicts from breaking out and hurting others," Dongfang Yao said with a shrug.

"Heh, you're quite confident, kid." Jiraiya became interested. "What gives you that confidence? The cells of the First Hokage, perhaps?"

"I suppose so," Dongfang Yao said noncommittally.

"Just what level of strength does this kid possess?" Seeing Dongfang Yao's arrogant demeanor, Jiraiya became genuinely curious. After giving some instructions to his subordinates, he led Dongfang Yao to a hilltop near the camp.

"Lord Jiraiya, what's wrong with you...?" Dongfang Yao asked, looking puzzled.

"Of course, I'm here to test your strength." Jiraiya said with his hands behind his back, exuding the air of a master. "After all, Konoha doesn't keep idle people; you're here to do the work. Understanding the details of your abilities will make it easier to assign you tasks later."

"Oh, but..." Dongfang Yao said shyly, scratching his face a little embarrassedly, "I don't actually know much, and it's a bit rough."

"Hahaha, I thought it was something special. I'm Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin!" Jiraiya laughed, hands on his hips. "Kid, my strength is on a completely different level from anyone you've ever seen before."

"That's incredibly generous!" Dongfang Yao gave a thumbs up, letting out a long sigh as if he had truly let go of some burden. "Then I can go all out and get things done."

"That's right, bring it on!" Jiraiya said confidently and calmly, displaying the demeanor of a master.

"Okay." Dongfang Yao stood with his feet apart and his hands clenched into fists. Veins began to bulge on his forehead.

"Eight Gates Formation, open! Open!"

"Hmm?" Jiraiya blinked, sensing that something was off about the style of the scene.

He meant to test Wood Release, right?

"Open the door!"

"Open the gate of life!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what's this guy doing?" Jiraiya's forehead was sweating.

The smartest thing to do at this point would be to interrupt Dongfang Yao's spellcasting, but Jiraiya is a senior, and a highly respected member of the Sannin, so he really couldn't do something so shameful.

And this delay meant there was no chance left.

"Open the Gate of Injury!"

"Open the door!"

When the violent chakra stirred up gusts of wind, Jiraiya's eyes widened in disbelief.

"My goodness, what kind of creature is this?!"

"Senju Yao, please enlighten me!" Dongfang Yao's voice became hoarse and deep, carrying a strong sense of oppression.

"Wait..." Jiraiya was about to raise his hand to stop the match, but Dongfang Yao had already rushed over with a gust of wind and a wave of air.

"Holy crap! Young man, you have no sportsmanship!"

......

On the other hand, Matt and his team encountered some issues when they went to submit their mission report.

"Wait, wait, wait, I think I'm a little hard of hearing. What did you just say?" A Jonin who was in charge of assessing mission completion—let's call him Jonin A for now—picked his ear and looked at Might Guy in disbelief.

"I said, we encountered the Seven Swordsmen of Kirigakure," Might Guy honestly repeated.

"Seven people in total?"

"Yes, all seven of them. Is there a problem?" Might Guy asked, looking puzzled.

"This is a huge problem!" Jonin A slammed his fist on the table, furious. "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen, all of them present, that's enough power to overthrow a small country. And you four Genin, you managed to escape unscathed? Who would believe that?"

The other ninjas present also revealed mocking smiles.

"This perennial genin, has he really thrown away all shame just to get promoted to chunin?"

"Actually... it wasn't exactly an escape..." Might Guy was taken aback by the Jonin A's reaction, and his words were somewhat hesitant. "To be precise, it was a complete annihilation."

The Jonin A was about to take a sip of water when he heard this and spat out all the tea in his mouth, splashing it all over Might Guy's face.

Before he could even wipe the tea off his face, Jonin A grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. "Might Guy, this is a military camp, and this is wartime! Don't you know what the consequences are for lying about military intelligence?"

"Hey, my dad wasn't lying." Matt Kai couldn't stand it anymore and immediately stood up to support his father.

"That's right, we have evidence," Genma Shiranui and Ebisu said in unison.

Then, under the skeptical gazes of the crowd, they pulled out the scroll that sealed the seven ninja swords.

"Clang—"

When seven ninja swords appeared in the tent, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Information about the Seven Blade Swordsmen is no secret, especially their seven iconic weapons, which are widely known. The greatsword Samehada, in particular, is a living weapon that cannot be faked.

Since the sword is real, then the story of the Seven Blade Swordsmen being wiped out is probably also true.

"Grunt—"

The ninjas present all swallowed hard, utterly horrified. They looked at Might Guy and the others as if they were some indescribable monster, much to the delight of Ebisu and Genma Shiranui.

Hmph, let you guys talk bad about Uncle Dai.

"How...how did you do that?"

After finally calming his wildly beating heart, Jonin A asked.

"Actually, it's because of Uncle Dai..." Genma Shiranui was about to speak when he was interrupted by Might Dai.

"Actually, it's because of a boy, the genius boy Senju You!" Might Guy said with admiration. "He alone killed several members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in just a few breaths. His fighting strength is unprecedented in my life."

"Senju You? Who's that?" Many people were confused, but some recognized him, their faces even more incredulous. "That loser who doesn't live up to the name of Senju?"

These words immediately evoked memories for many people.

"No way, when did he become so amazing?"

"They couldn't even withstand a single blow from me, yet they managed to kill the Seven Blade Swordsmen? Are I stronger than all seven of them combined?"

The arena erupted in chaos, with everyone holding their own opinion. They preferred to believe that Might Guy could take down those powerful figures rather than that the kid could do it.

"It's true, that Mr. Yao is incredibly powerful." Genma Shiranui, Ebisu, and Kai were all trying to defend Dongfang Yao, but unfortunately, no one believed them.

And just then...

"Boom boom boom—"

The violent explosions and strong earthquakes caused slight chaos at the Konoha camp.

"What's going on? Have the enemies invaded?" Everyone left the camp and came to the open space, only to find that no one had invaded.

"No, the earthquake came from that hill." A Hyuga clan ninja used his Byakugan to sense the earthquake and pointed to the hill where Jiraiya and the others were.

"Who's there?" a Jonin shouted.

"It seems to be Lord Jiraiya, and a boy named Senju You who was brought by Might Guy and the others," a guard at the camp entrance said. Then, all the ninjas' eyes turned to Might Guy and his group, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Could it be that the boy was fighting Jiraiya-sama?"

The thought only flashed through their minds for a moment before everyone simultaneously suppressed it.

They preferred to believe that Jiraiya had encountered a powerful enemy rather than that the Senju brat had accomplished such a feat.

So, the genin present quickly discussed the matter and decided that some of them would stay behind to watch over the camp while the others would go to provide support.

But by the time they arrived, the fighting had already ended.

Everywhere they looked was devastation, as if it had been bombarded by heavy artillery fire. The deep and long trenches made their hearts pound, but there was no sign of the enemy.

Jiraiya, on the other hand, stood with his back to them, head held high and chest puffed out, exuding an imposing aura.

Seeing that Jiraiya was alright, the group breathed a sigh of relief, having found their leader.

"Lord Jiraiya, what just happened...?"

Jonin A mustered up the courage to ask a question.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just sparred with a junior. That's right, that's all." Jiraiya's voice came, carrying his usual hearty laughter. "You guys go back first, I'll be there in a bit."

But whether it was just his imagination or not, Jonin A felt that Jiraiya's voice sounded a little strange today, a little... unclear.

The group exchanged glances but said nothing, and then took their orders and left.

At the same time, he felt an unprecedented sense of awe for Dongfang Yao—that young lad had truly taken off!

After everyone had left, Jiraiya touched his face, which was now swollen, and gasped.

"You little brat, you really went all out!"
