Become the God of Ninjas starting from Danganronpa.

Chapter 61 Master...Master!

Thanks to Dongfang Yao's healing magic, the poisoned and injured Konoha ninjas recovered quickly and soon regained full consciousness.

When they learned from Rizashi that the person who saved them was actually Dongfang Yao, the group of people all showed complicated expressions.

They never expected that the person who had previously been timid and like a clown in the village would grow to such a level in such a short time.

Especially after hearing that Dongfang Yao had single-handedly defeated dozens of Sand Village ninjas and slaughtered them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, they were even more shocked. Looking at Dongfang Yao's handsome face, they felt as if a thick barrier stood between them.

Wood Release, Flying Thunder God Technique, swordsmanship as swift as wind and thunder...

Dongfang Yao was no longer the boy they could tease at will and who brought them joy.

"Master...Master..." Some commoner ninjas looked at Dongfang Yao with eyes full of awe.

Those Chunin and Jonin from prestigious families lowered their proud heads before Dongfang Yao and respectfully addressed him as "Mr. Yao".

"Hey, no need to be so polite, just call me Xiao Yaozi like before," Dongfang Yao said with a smile, seemingly not taking the previous incident to heart at all.

Dongfang Yao could joke, but these ninjas wouldn't take it seriously. It's common knowledge that having real strength but not showing it off is like wearing fine clothes in the dark—it diminishes the enjoyment by ninety percent.

These people who suddenly become powerful always hope that a villain will come and slap them in the face, so that they can settle old scores in a justifiable way;

And incidentally, put on a low-key yet elegant act.

They had already suffered enough on the battlefield and did not want to become Dongfang Yao's stepping stones.

Seeing that these cunning ninjas weren't fooled, Dongfang curled his lip in annoyance. "You guys are no good. You don't have the pragmatic spirit of a ninja at all. You should have a good spar with me to figure out my strengths and weaknesses."

What if I fool the Japanese and they conspire with me to deceive you?

"hehe..."

A group of Jonin and Chunin chuckled dryly, thinking to themselves, "Do you think we're all idiots? A whole bunch of Sand Village ninjas have been turned into sashimi and grilled. They're not blind, so why would they suspect anything?"

They knew Hizashi's strength and fighting style; he was far from capable of doing that. So they all looked up at the sky and chatted about things like, "The weather's really nice today," "Is your wife about to give birth?" and "Let's go back to our hometown and get married after this battle."

"Ahem, Mr. Yao, now that everyone is well, I think we should head back." Hizashi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly spoke up.

He had heard about Dongfang Yao's previous experiences. Young people are naturally proud and sensitive, and he probably harbored a lot of resentment. Logically speaking, he shouldn't get involved in this mess, but in the current perilous battlefield, it's better to avoid trouble.

"Oh, let's go then." Dongfang Yao didn't insist, and his willingness to stand firm relieved everyone. They quickly greeted each other and packed up to leave.

Kai, Ebisu, and Genma Shiranui witnessed this scene and were all captivated by it.

"Mr. Yao is amazing. Even the adults don't dare to raise their voices to him."

"Yes, they're all just kids, but the difference is huge."

"A true man should be like this! Ah, the motivation for cultivation is surging within me!"

The children's words made some of the ninjas look very annoyed, but because of Dongfang Yao's presence, they didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction and marched in silence.

However, they hadn't gone far when they ran into reinforcements sent by Konoha. The leader was also a member of the Hyuga clan—after all, those Byakugan eyes were just too distinctive.

As a result, both sides had sensed each other's arrival in advance, and no tragic incident of friendly fire occurred.

"Hizashi!"

"filial piety!"

When people from the same hometown meet, they may not be tearful, but they are all very excited.

"How are you? Are you alright?" Hyuga Takashi asked with concern. "Lord Orochimaru received your distress signal and immediately dispatched me with reinforcements. What exactly happened? How many enemies did the enemy send?"

"Alas, it's shameful to admit, but the enemy only numbered forty or so, yet they used a very troublesome poison. We were caught off guard and fell into their trap, almost..."

Hyuga Takashi's expression changed drastically. "What? Poisoned? Come on, let's go back to the camp and find those medical ninjas."

He was about to pull Hyuga Hizashi along when the other man grabbed him.

"If we really were poisoned, could we have survived?" Hizashi pointed to his face. "I'm all better now. I've been cured."

"Really? Who did it?" Hinata Takashi asked in surprise.

"It's Mr. You." Hyuga Hizashi uttered a name, which only confused Hyuga Takashi even more.

"Mr. Yao? This... who is he?"

Seeing this, Rizashi could only manage a helpless, bitter smile. The scene was so similar; when he heard the name Dongfang Yao, he couldn't connect it with the village's bottom-of-the-barrel villager.

Just as I was about to explain, I heard a burst of hearty laughter from the side.

"Haha, Yoko, when did you get into Mr. Hizashi's group? Did you cause him any trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Rizashi's expression changed. He turned around abruptly and saw a young man patting Dongfang Yao's shoulder while laughing and teasing him, displaying an incredibly bold and unrestrained manner.

"Asuma..." Hizashi's lips twitched, and he felt an urge to cover his face. "Why did it have to be this kid who rushed at us?"

"What's wrong?" Hinata Takashi leaned closer and asked in a low voice, puzzled by Hizashi's behavior.

"It's nothing..." Rizashi looked annoyed, but he had already made up his mind. He would step in and mediate as soon as anything happened, to prevent Dongfang Yao from acting too recklessly.

After all, he's the son of a high-ranking leader, so he can't help but take him seriously.

On the other hand, Dongfang Yao was a little confused by the sudden burst of laughter, looking at the burly man walking over.

With a full beard and a weathered look, yet acting as if he knew me well, I couldn't help but ask, "Who are you, sir?"

"M-Uncle?" The newcomer froze instantly, an indescribable oppressive aura surrounding him, which finally erupted: "Look closely, I'm Asuma, Sarutobi Asuma!"

He's just a teenager, how can you call him so old?

"Sarutobi Asuma?" Dongfang Yao paused for a moment, then remembered that there was indeed such a mature-beyond-his-years guy. If it weren't for his height, he could easily impersonate Hiyori's uncle.

"What's the matter?" Dongfang Yao asked.

"Hey, is this how you talk to your former boss?" Sarutobi Asuma said rudely. "Back then, you were begging me to take you on as a subordinate. It hasn't been that long, and you're already denying it?"

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

,

A series of gasps immediately filled the air, including those from Guy and his two companions, as well as a large group of adult ninjas behind Hizashi. They stared at Sarutobi Asuma in shock.

"Has he always been this brave?" Genma Shiranui and Ebisu looked at Asuma with admiration, as if they were watching a hero who single-handedly challenged the Demon King.

On the contrary, Hyuga Takashi's ninjas were very puzzled, not understanding why the people opposite them had such a ghostly expression.

Sarutobi Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, is known for having a habit of recruiting followers at school.

Under the spotlight, Dongfang Yao remained remarkably calm. He merely narrowed his eyes, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Oh, really? Are we that close?"

"More than just familiar? We're way too familiar!" Asuma exclaimed, spitting as he vividly described Dongfang Yao's situation back then. "Back in school, you were so bad at the game that you couldn't stand it, but you still loved to brag. You got beaten up by a bunch of people at school, and I was the one who saved you."

"Back then, I descended like a divine warrior, taking down three opponents with a single punch and kick, my power unstoppable. You were intimidated by my domineering aura, and immediately bowed down, clinging to my leg and crying, begging to acknowledge me as your boss. Have you forgotten?"

Dongfang Yao: He knew that his predecessor was a loser, and that his daily life was either being pranked or on his way to being pranked, but the dark history that Asuma mentioned still shocked Dongfang Yao to his core.

But he was already an excellent ninja, and he was not angry about it. Instead, he smiled slightly, showing his magnanimity and tolerance.

"Asuma, is that it? Sorry, I'm past that age."

"Bilibili..."

Although he wasn't the one directly under that gaze, seeing Dongfang Yao's peaceful and tolerant smile, Rizashi felt a jolt of electricity run through his body.

"Ah..." He was about to say something when he heard Asuma's righteous and stern tone.

"How can that be? Once the boss, always the boss! You're such a sissy, you'd fall over with the slightest push. If I hadn't protected you, you'd be pinned to the ground countless times."

Asuma's words astonished Ebisu and Genma Shiranui, and even made Hizashi close his eyes in despair.

There's no hope. Just wait to die. Goodbye!

Dongfang Yao smiled even more brightly when he heard Asuma say this.

"Sure, I happen to have something I'd like to ask you for a favor, boss."

"Sure thing, I'll take care of it," Asma said, patting his chest and making a grand promise.

"I've been feeling like there's something wrong with my cultivation lately, and I'd like to ask you for some guidance, boss."

"Hey, I thought it was something serious, this is easy. When we get back to camp, I'll practice with you properly." Asma readily agreed.

"It's alright, we're free right now, perfect for a little sparring." Dongfang Yao said, grabbing Asuma's shoulder.

Seeing Dongfang Yao's amused smile, Asuma immediately had a bad feeling. But before he could say anything, his body involuntarily flew up. In the blink of an eye, Hizashi and the others disappeared from sight.

"Hizashi...this..." Hyuga Takashi said with some concern.

"It's alright, that boy knows what he's doing... probably," Hizashi said.

Genma Shiranui and the other ninjas wanted to laugh but dared not, their faces turning red from holding it in.

"Uh...uh...oh—"

'

Suddenly, Sarutobi Asuma's rhythmic calls rang out from the woods, causing everyone to look on with strange expressions.

A few minutes later, Dongfang Yao appeared, carrying a pig's head. He leaped into the group, looking refreshed. "Sorry for the delay. Let's get going."

Hinata Takashi looked at the unconscious pig-headed boy on the ground, and his eye twitched violently.

The high-ranking leader's son was beaten up, so logically he should step in to resolve the matter. However, before he could even speak, the sir changed the subject, saying, "Let's go then."

On the way, Hizashi had already heard from Kai and the others that Dongfang Yao was now Jiraiya's disciple and also officially registered under the Third Hokage, highly regarded by the Konoha leadership. Therefore, the conflict between him and Asuma was at most a joke between juniors, and there was no need to take it too seriously.

So the group started again. Asuma Sarutobi was carried on Guy's back, shouting "Youth!" as he kept up with the group, brimming with boundless energy.

Soon, the group arrived at the gate of Konoha's camp. Before even entering, they saw an unexpected figure.

"Oh, Hizashi, you're back. I heard you were ambushed by Sunagakure. How did it go?" The speaker had pale skin, long hair that reached past his shoulders, and purple eyeshadow that extended from the corners of his eyes to the sides of his nose. Combined with his vertical pupils, he looked like a walking humanoid snake.

That's right, this is Orochimaru, one of the most popular villains in the Naruto series, nicknamed Snake Uncle.

Of course, Orochimaru hasn't betrayed Konoha yet; he remains one of the legendary Sannin, a highly respected and powerful figure in the village. Therefore, upon seeing Orochimaru, Hyuga Takashi and Hyuga Hizashi didn't dare to be negligent and immediately bowed in respect. As for the younger guys like Might Guy, they were even less likely to dare utter a sound in the face of such a legendary ninja.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, we were attacked by the Sand Village. They used poison, and we were initially at a great disadvantage." Hizashi reported the situation to Orochimaru in a measured tone, his voice somewhat low. However, his voice became much lighter towards the end.

"However, we later received support from Mr. Yao. Not only were we able to annihilate that Sand Village unit, but the poison in our bodies was also cured."

As he spoke, Hizashi moved aside, revealing Dongfang Yao behind him to Orochimaru's line of sight.

He was unaware of the feud between Dongfang Yao and Orochimaru; he was simply clinging to his own preconceived notions and wanted Dongfang Yao to gain more exposure with Orochimaru, the frontline commander. Given Orochimaru's clear-cut style of rewarding and punishing, he might even bestow upon Dongfang Yao a considerable reward.

Indeed, although in the eyes of some who dislike him, Orochimaru is cunning, treacherous, and ruthless in achieving his goals, this is not the case for ninjas like Hizashi who serve under Orochimaru.

Deeply scheming? That's called resourceful and shrewd.

By any means necessary? On the battlefield, you have to use any means necessary; that's called being professionally competent.

Didn't you see that thanks to Orochimaru's strategic planning, their storyline boasts impressive survival rates and mission completion rates?

Therefore, in Hijiri's view, it would be extremely beneficial for Dongfang Yao to build a good relationship with Orochimaru.

But Hizashi never expected that things would develop in a completely unexpected direction.

"Oh, isn't this Yao-kun? Long time no see." Orochimaru spoke, his voice wet and slippery like a snake gliding across the skin, giving many people goosebumps.

"Ah, I've missed you so much, Orochimaru... sir!" Dongfang Yao yawned, speaking very politely, but his eyes were not looking at a superior or an elder, but rather at a corpse.

Recalling the past, Dongfang Yao grinned.
