"I'm sorry Danzo-sama, we still haven't found where Sakumo sent his adopted son for treatment. Our ninjas have already visited all known doctors in the surrounding countries."
Sitting on his throne, Danzo looked in disappointment at his subordinate kneeling in front of him and asked him what was happening with Tsunade's adopted son.
(W.N. Is there a word I can use instead of subordinate? Or is this word appropriate?)
"Tsunade-sama's adopted child wandered around the house for a short time the other day and then returned home. We were able to find out that the boy's name was Yuta through a shopkeeper he came into contact with at the time. The shopkeeper was generally full of praise for him, and I also found out that he bought a large amount of alcohol and fresh meat from the shopkeeper."
Danzo let out a deep sigh at this and said that they would stop following them.
Danzo guessed that it was Hiruzen who had brought the boy to the village and caused Tsunade to adopt him.
Although Danzo was a little skeptical about this unknown boy with an unknown background, he cared more about Tsunade's mental health than he did about an unknown boy, as he would soon be taking over as the fourth Hokage. He had already seen with his own eyes in the previous battle that a skilled ninja and doctor like Tsunade could defend a line of battle almost single-handedly. Moreover, if Tsunade saw this boy as the last connection in her life, he could use this boy to manipulate Tsunade.
During the previous war, Hiruzen had lost a lot of favor in the village. The start of a new war right after the end of the previous one would make many people unhappy with him. As a result, a new election would take place and Danzo would be the most likely to become the next Hokage.
With this in mind, Danzo has been acting much less ruthless lately and making more public appearances. But Danzo was quite wrong.
With a new war underway, people were not going to force Hiruzen, at the height of his power, to resign his position as Hokage until the war was over. What would have caused this position to be given to a new person would have been the bad deal made by Sarutabi Hiruzen at the end of the third shinobi war.
___________________
Dinner was going on at Sakumo's house while Danzo was daydreaming about what he would do after his plans were realized.
Sakumo somehow managed to dodge his son's question, but he could see from the look on his son's face that he didn't believe him. Well, his answers to Kakashi about the status of Yuta's treatment were not really convincing, but Sakumo had been too busy lately to think about that.
"Kakashi, I'm thinking of signing you up for the ninja academy tomorrow, I'll have to go on a long mission soon so you won't be bored at home."
"The war is starting again."
Sakumo almost spit the food back out of his mouth when he heard his son talking about a new war.
"Ahem. Where did you hear that?"
Kakashi rolled his eyes. "The whole village is talking about it."
Sakumo wiped the corner of his mouth and sighed before telling his son the truth.
"Tis likely that a new war will begin. But don't worry, the previous war exhausted the five major villages, so this one will be short. Besides, Yuta is recovering in a country far enough away that he won't be affected by these wars."
Kakashi's eyes lit up when he heard that his little brother would be safe. Even though he had only spent a month with his brother, it felt so good to have a family member other than his father.
After the conversation, Kakashi agreed to sign up for school tomorrow with his father and the conversation ended.

Meanwhile, Yuta opened the wooden door in front of him as quietly as he could. Then, using one hand as a pair of binoculars in front of his right eye, he slowly poked his head through the door.
Over the past month, Yuta had taken photos of Tsunade in many different dresses and positions, earning silver-level rewards in return. Tsunade was a gold... or rather silver mine, of photogenicity. Each different position and dress combination brought a different reward.
But what if Yuta had managed to photograph the core of this mine, that is, without clothes...
When Yuta poked his head through the door with a smile, he immediately started taking photos one after the other using his talent.
The first photo was of Tsunade holding a wet and bubbling sponge, but she was covering her breasts with one hand while looking in her direction with the other. And her pose hides her important parts.
In the second photo, a giant sponge blocked half the picture. Tsunade's feet were the only thing visible from the corner of the sponge.
In the last photo, there was only a yellow, perforated substance.
Tsunade's voice telling him to get out filled the house as Yuta was thrown out of the bathroom with the exaggerated effect of the watery sponge hitting his head.
The sponge on his face slowly slid to the floor as Yuta heard the sound of the door closing hard. His eyes, which had just opened wide to take a photo, burned with soap suds from the sponge as he rushed downstairs and washed his eyes in the kitchen.
When Yuta got rid of the pain in his eyes, he called the system to see the photos he had taken and to check the awards he had received.
[ Photo being analyzed...]
[ Congratulations on catching a silver moment; Tsunade series special collection (censored version) ]
[ Photo reward; Random silver level curse summoning card ]
[ You caught a iron moment ]
[ You caught a iron moment ]
"Heh, so even this photo gets a silver-level award. Ha ha ha ha ha ha... Let's try one more time."
__________________________-
Yuta looked at the sponge in his hand and got an idea of how to avoid injury while taking a picture of Tsunade.
He climbed the stairs upstairs, full of confidence about his new plan, and returned to the bathroom door.
When Yuta reached out his hand to knock, Tsunade sensed his presence and smiled. Of course, Yuta was not aware of her behavior. He reached out his hand and gently knocked twice.
Tsunade praised herself, thinking that the boy who had acted like an ordinary baby a month ago was now making small efforts to be a pervert. Tsunade must have been a competent mother to raise him in a month.
When Tsunade didn't answer, Yuta assumed she was too busy to hear the door, so he opened it slightly and held out the sponge.
"Tsunade-sensei should I throw the sponge in?"
Sensei was the nickname Tsunade had chosen for Yuta. At first, Tsunade didn't want Yuta to call her big sister or mother, although maybe she would have let him call her big sister if she had known he would warm up to her so much.
"What took you so long to get my sponge back?"
"My eyes hurt since the sponge hit my face. That's why I couldn't find the bathroom. I still can't see anything."
Tsunade was worried when she heard his words because she knew the problems that could arise from the soap coming into contact with the eyes. "Wait there, I'll be right there."
"No need. It will pass in a moment. I'm throwing in the sponge."
When Tsunade moved to get her towel hanging behind the door, she saw Yuta quickly throwing the sponge through the gap in the door. When she immediately reached up to catch the sponge in mid-air, Yuta stuck his head out and took a picture of her with the system.
When Tsunade caught the sponge, she felt someone watching her and turned her head to see Yuta's hair disappearing in the doorway.
"You sneaky pervert! How dare you play with me! I'll finish you when I get out of the bathroom!"
[ Photo being analyzed... ]
[ Congratulations you've captured a golden moment; is true beauty really inside? ]
[ Photo reward: slash ]
Yuta ran out of the house, happy that he had gotten two good prizes in one day. Every time he took a successful photo during the past time, the rewards he received would either increase his statistic or give him a bronze-level summoning monster draw. Of course, he hadn't used any of his drawing rights until now.
Yuta ran out of the garden and hid in the garden of one of the houses on the street full of abandoned houses.
Thinking that Tsunade was still wearing her clothes, Yuta opened his profile to see the details of his new ability.

When he clicked on the skills tab in his profile, he saw that he had two skills.
After seeing the ten-shadow technique, Yuta ignored it in disappointment, then clicked on the slash skill with a little excitement.
[ Slash: The user makes an invisible slashing attack using cursed energy. The power of the ability depends on the amount of cursed energy the user has ]
As he read the description of the ability, Yuta was struck by a small piece of information about how to use it.
Yuta screamed with joy when he realized that the ability was indeed that of the character Sukuna from the jujutsu kaisen anime he had watched in his previous life. But a few seconds later he remembered the experience of acquiring the ten-shadow technique.
When he first obtained the ten-shadow technique, he thought he could summon Divine General Mahoraga, but after a short research, he realized that the ten-shadow technique was just the ten-shadow technique. He didn't have any of the summons used by the character Megumi in the anime.
If he wanted to summon a creature, he first had to incorporate that creature into the ten-shadow technique. So Mahoraga was never his, as he thought. Thinking that a similar situation could happen with the Slash technique, Yuta calmed himself and remembered that he was still an insect living in this world.
"Yutaaa!"
Hearing the distant voice, Yuta rolled his eyes and muttered that he had a more urgent problem to handle.
Tsunade's shouting tone was so loud that Yuta decided to avoid her for the rest of the day.
The moment Yuta clasped his hands together, a shadow emerged from under his feet and pulled him underground. Because he was one of the people who knew best that ordinary techniques could not escape a sannin.
Tsunade followed tracks in the ground that ordinary people would not notice, leading to the backyard of one of the houses in the old Senju neighborhood. From the footprints, Tsunade assumed that Yuta was behind the wall in front of her, and she calmed down and thought about how to punish him.
Wouldn't punishing the child she had raised for being a pervert be an admission of her own failure? Tsunade thought for a while about what she should do to make him a decent person again, but no solution came to her mind.
In the end, she attributed Yuta's transformation into such a pervert to the Jiraya who had come to her house for dinner last week. Surely Yuta must have learned to be a pervert from Jiraya.
Tsunade decided to punish Yuta until Yuta forgot Jiraya's teachings jumped over the wall and landed in front of Yuta. Unfortunately, Yuta had long ago hidden in the shadows of Konoha, heading for a forested area where there would be no humans.
_____________
In the woods above the mountain where the heads of the former Hokage were carved, the shadow of a tree suddenly began to take on strange shapes.
After the shadow of the tree moved to the right and left for a while, the shadow widened and spat out a small boy.
Yuta stepped out of the shadow and raised one hand to block the sunlight falling on him. Ever since the day he became a curse he had been bothered by sunlight, as if he was allergic to it, it even appeared in light sources other than sunlight, but it was always strongest when he was in contact with sunlight.
Yuta stopped bothering about it and started to check his surroundings with his eyes. After all, he had no other way of controlling his surroundings.
After looking around for a while, he made sure as much as possible that there was no one else around and decided to use his long-awaited summoning draws first.
Thinking that it would be more proper to start with the bronze level, Yuta used one of the bronze drawing rights.
After Yuta used his draw, nothing happened and some information came into his brain. After Yuta digested the information, a system screen appeared.
[ Are you really sure you want to use your bronze level summon draw right? ]
[ Yes ] [ No ]
Yuta hesitated as he looked at the system screen. Because after each draw, he would find himself in an arena where he would fight the creature that came out of the draw. Depending on the outcome of this battle, the creature from the draw would either obey his words completely or not. Either way, he could summon this creature into battle at any time, but the creatures he could not defeat will have free will to help him or not.
For example, if Yuta takes Sukuna out of the draw, they will both find themselves in an indestructible arena. If Yuta succeeds in defeating Sukuna, Sukuna will become a summoned beast that obeys him in everything. If Yuta loses the battle, when he releases Sukuna from the ten-shadow technique, Sukuna will have free will for a while to do whatever he wants. Of course, since Sukuna's life depends on Yuta, he probably won't kill him, but he might try to take over Yuta's body.
Fortunately, the system helps Yuta in two important things.
The first important thing was that one vs one ended when one side was mortally wounded, and after the battle was over, both sides would emerge uninjured.
The second important thing is that no matter how powerful the summoned monster is, it will lie unconscious inside the ten-shadow technique unless Yuta decides to remove it from the ten-shadow technique.
After hesitating for a while, Yuta decided that the thing that would come out of the Bronze level, the lowest level draw right, would be at a power level that he could easily surpass in the future, even if it was stronger than him.
If he could not defeat this cursed beast, he would wait until he was strong enough to defeat it in the future, then he would take it out of the ten shadow techniques and kill it.
In addition, the ten-shadow technique could be used outside of the lottery to make contracts with ninja monsters. Yuta was sure he could use the same thing for future curses that he had failed to defeat in the past.
As Tsunade began to worry that she couldn't find Yuta, Yuta closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and clicked "yes" on the system screen.
Yuta's shadow technique activated against his will and swallowed him. In the next moment, Yuta found himself in an area surrounded by a wall of darkness. The area was strangely bright, with nothing but rocks beneath his feet.
As Yuta tried to figure out what was going on, he was confronted by a system screen that told him that the battle would begin in three seconds. No matter how much Yuta looked around, he couldn't see anything.
"Hey hey, isn't it a bit much for a Bronze-level curse to be invisible?"
Yuta made a few inaudible protests and then watched as the countdown ended and as the number reached zero, a humanoid figure appeared on the other side of the field. Apparently, the reason he couldn't see it was not because it was invisible but because it hadn't arrived yet.
Yuta looked carefully and saw that the person in front of him was more than just a humanoid figure. She was no different from a little girl.
The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked around, but she seemed unable to see anything. When Yuta saw her open her hands and point them at him, he raised his fists and shielded them in front of him, and immediately Yuta's fists began to burn red fire. This was nothing but Yuta's special cursed energy. But apparently, the girl could not see her surroundings and was trying to hold on to something around her.
The girl must have been frightened because after a while she started to cry, looking around for something to hold on to.
Yuta started to approach the girl, wondering if she was called by an ordinary person because the level of drawing was so low. After Yuta took a few steps forward, some system screens appeared where he had just been, unfortunately, Yuta was only looking towards the girl and couldn't see the system screens.
[ Draw result: Low level demon ]

They eat humans and have much more advanced physical qualities than ordinary humans, as well as eating humans instead of sleeping to replenish their energy.
