Mob without system in Naruto world

"Welcome back, Lady Tsunade and Lord Jiraiya..." - Homura and Koharu greeted them on the roof on top of the Hokage office, where you could see the Hokage faces carved in stone.

"Long time no see...what's with your faces, you two?" - the happy and excited Tsunade turned serious after seeing their unusual hesitation.

"That's...things got complicated and something unexpected happened..." - Homura

"How long are you gonna beat around the bush, just spit out what you want to say." - Jiraijya

"Lady Tsunade, someone else was chosen as the Fith Hokage instead..." - Koharu

"What?! Is this a joke or something?" -  a vein was bulging on Tsunade's forehead, and she exuded an aura of wanting to beat someone up.

"Please calm down, Lady Tsunade...let's listen first..." - Shizune

"Hmm, that's weird. It was you two who wanted either me or Tsunade to be the next Hokage, so I assume it wasn't your doing, right?" - Jiraiya

"Yes...it was Danzo. He unexpectedly moved suddenly. He fabricated some "evidence" of Sarutobi's last words and somehow convinced the Daimyo to get a puppet of his to be the next Hokage..." - Koharu

"So it was Danzo, huh...if this hardliner is in charge it will probably mean war..." - Jiraiya

"Unfortunately with the Daimyo agreeing, we didn't have a choice other than to accept. At least we could make Danzo agree on letting Lady Tsunade join the Konoha Council...we are truly sorry...Lady Tsunade...we know you returned to Konoha to be the next Hokage, but we ask you to stay and be in the Council, or else if we can't reduce Danzo's influence, there is no telling what he might do..." - Koharu

With every mention of the name Danzo, Tsunade's and Shizune's faces turned sourer.

"Hey, Pervy Sage, who is this Danzo guy?" - Naruto

"It's better for you to not know...by the way, who even is the next Hokage?" - Jiraiya

"A child, Nakamura Eiji." - Koharu

"WHAT?!!" - Naruto shouted in disbelieve.

"Hmm, this name sounds a bit familiar but I can't recall..." - Jiraiya

"It's the naked sword kid who ran away from a giant snake when we trained..." - Naruto

"..."

"Fuck!" - Eiji slammed his fist against a wall.

The surrounding people looked at him with strange gazes but decided it would be better to ignore him.

After waking up in a backstreet, he remembered everything that happened.

For the first time in this life, he felt true despair.

Up to this point, he always relied on his future knowledge for his safety.

Even facing scary opponents like Orochimaru wasn't that big of a deal in his eyes, because of that.

But now he was truly lost.

Something like that wasn't supposed to happen.

Furthermore, he knew how strong Danzo was and since he was trashed badly by Orochimaru, he knew how it would end if he tried to fight him.

But often strength isn't all in a fight between shinobis.

Information gathering and exploiting weaknesses such as family are often way more effective.

This kind of shinobi fight was completely new to as well Eiji.´, which made the situation even worse.

He knew one mistake and his parents might die.

It was like he was playing chess with a huge handicap, where just one wrong move would mean instant checkmate.

But all that wasn't even the worst thing in Eiji's eyes.

The biggest problem was Kotoamatsukami.

Since Danzo wants him to be his puppet, the best way would be to use Kotoamatsukami on him.

Eiji didn't know if the reason Danzo didn't use it, was because of Danzo underestimating Eiji and not wanting to waste it on him, or if it's because he can't use it right now.

Unfortunately, both options were bad for Eiji.

If Danzo underestimates him, it would mean that if Eiji makes any suspicious move, Danzo wouldn't hesitate to use it instantly, and if it's the second, it would mean that he needs to deal with Danzo as fast as possible!

And Eiji certainly wasn't keen on being under the control of Kotoamatsuukami, so playing Danzo's loyal dog wasn't an option.

So the only way was to either run away and abandon his parents, or killing Danzo.

Of course, he couldn't abandon his parents, so he started to think about how to kill Danzo.

The most logical choice was to get the help of someone strong.

Not only because he was currently significantly weaker than Danzo, but in the scenario that Danzo underestimates him and is able to use Kotoamatsukami when fighting, having someone next to him to disrupt it is a must.

Should he ask the elders Koharu and Homura?

No, since Danzo said that Eiji would be the next Hokage, it means they accepted it.

Those two wouldn't want to risk an internal war in Konoha and would just tell him that he is a shinobi and shouldn't do something which puts the village at risk.

Jiraiya and Tsunade?

If it was for Naruto they probably would, but Eiji wasn't close with either of them and they as well wouldn't want to risk an internal war for him, who they barely knew.

The same was the case for Kakashi or Guy.

In short, he was fucked.

But in his despair, a crazy idea suddenly emerged in him.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly smiled amused while thinking: "Hehehe, with this I would fuck up the future pretty hard, wouldn't I?"
