Naruto Tenseigan Reborn: Toneri's Time-Traveling Romance

15

Toneri strode with purpose through Konoha's streets, mind churning with ambitious plans now that the village's upheaval left openings to exploit. Chief among them - establishing his power and status befitting the destiny he pursued.

No more bowing obedient like a dog to the whims of so-called superiors. He was a scion of the great Otsutsuki clan! Bearer of the exalted Tenseigan! Once full strength returned, none could stand equal.

First he must craft a new persona and reputation surpassing the unremarkable wartime field promotion to mediocre chunin rank. Something suiting the rare gifts granted by providence.

But such image overhaul required care not to trigger suspicion. No, better begin slow with visible reliability and talent. Let the fools misjudge him a loyal soldier ant, rather than the patient queen incubating deadly genius.

Soon they would grasp his quality and gravitate helplessly within orbit. But now, to shine by accumulating missions and renown. A spotless service record would smooth his inexorable elevation through the ranks.

Arriving at the assignment hub, Toneri bowed in courteous greeting, playing his role flawlessly. "Gracious superiors, this humble one requests any available task serving the village good," he intoned mildly.
