Hiromi had an idea, he wanted to lead the Uchiha out of this small village called Konoha.
This world was too twisted.
Why should ninjas risk their lives while those stupid daimyo enjoyed the fruits of their labor?
Yes, Konoha was the military force of a nation. The Hokage of Konoha could even stand on equal footing with the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and it seemed like Konoha had the advantage.
However, he had one question he wanted to ask: Konoha's Hokage provided the fighting power, but what did the daimyo of the Land of Fire provide?
Money? With fighting power, why worry about not having money?
Order? What kind of order could there be when people were fighting wits and courage within the village?
Power? The daimyo did not value ninjas, viewing them as disposable pawns who could sacrifice themselves for them.
So, the question arose: why did the position of daimyo even exist?
Just because the ancestors of those stupid daimyo, generations ago, were daimyo?
Or was it that the system of a nation and a village was too different?
If that was the case, then divide and rule, find someone capable to help govern, and create an experimental zone.
If that didn't work, why not just hire a daimyo?
Why should a daimyo be placed above ninjas who possessed absolute combat power?
Even Madara didn't go and wipe out this bunch of stupid pigs, why?
Look down on them? Or was it that one only feels uncomfortable when they start taking a dump on your head?
Take the current situation, for example: the Fourth Great Ninja War. Although this war wasn't long and didn't affect many civilians, during the Third Great Ninja War, how many families were broken?
But what about the daimyo?
Living in luxury, enjoying themselves to the fullest.
Why?
No matter how hard Hiromi thought, he couldn't understand it.
Those Daimyo curse ninjas as trash and useless all day, yet ninjas can only endure it with a forced smile.
How lowly!
If Shimura, Sarutobi, Mitokado, and the Utatane clans are the bloodsuckers of Konoha, then the Daimyo are giant, ugly bloodsuckers clinging to all ninjas, even more disgusting.
He didn't want to continue with such a lowly status.
Hiromi looked ahead, a portion of the Kirigakure army had escaped. The Konoha ninjas pursued them to press their advantage.
Meanwhile, the Hyuga clansmen stared intently at a Kirigakure ninja named 'Ao,' chasing him like mad, disregarding everything else. Not until they gouged out the Byakugan from under his right eyepatch did the Hyuga clansmen give up the pursuit.
The Kirigakure front was over, Konoha had won.
The Konoha ninjas returned with endless cheers, every face filled with a brilliant smile.
Only Hiromi's gaze remained dark and uncertain.
Kakashi, who was becoming increasingly familiar with him, felt a chill. He felt as if Hiromi wanted to kill someone.
—
Kumogakure's Raikage was killed, and not one in a hundred of the army remained.
Kirigakure's Mizukage was gone, and countless ninjas defected.
The Iwagakure army was defeated, and the Tsuchikage retreated gloomily.
The Fourth Great Ninja War, which the world had fretted over, came to an anticlimactic end in less than a week.
As the three fronts returned to Konoha, the villagers cheered incessantly.
"As expected of Shikaku-sama!"
"The Uchiha are too strong!"
"The Tyrant of Konoha!"
In this war, the most brilliant performer was Hiromi, causing many villagers who worshipped the strong to forget everything from before and chant the Uchiha name.
The Uchiha were all smiles. After all, those who hated the Uchiha had been slaughtered by them. After getting rid of some pests, the air in the village became much fresher.
The two Hokage Advisors, Koharu and Homura, stepped forward.
"Good work. Rest well tonight, tomorrow the whole village will celebrate."
Shikaku had just started to smile, intending to politely decline. After all, he knew the state of the village's finances, there was no money for a celebration. He only hoped to squeeze something out of Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure to fill the deficit.
But just then, many among the villagers began to shout.
"It's all thanks to Advisor Homura and Advisor Koharu for understanding us!"
"The whole village celebrates together!"
"Advisor Homura and Advisor Koharu are so wonderful!"
"Yeah! They are the best!"
Shikaku's smile froze.
Some of the ninjas behind him lowered their heads, their expressions somber.
Some forced awkward smiles.
But even more were happy, shouting along with the villagers: "Advisor Homura! Advisor Koharu! Advisor Homura! Advisor Koharu!"
It was as if they were the ones who had led everyone to victory.
Seeing this, even the Uchiha Clan Members, who hadn't cared much at first, had their faces darken.
I've seen people stealing credit, but never before even entering the village.
"Fuck! We fought our lives out, and they steal our credit with just two sentences?"
"Dammit! Let's go wipe out their clans tonight!"
"Just release a Tailed Beast into their Clan Grounds!"
"Great idea!"
The Uchihas grew excited, their Sharingan emerging and flashing with bloodthirsty light.
"Great, my foot!"
"Who's opposing it! Such a good—" That Uchiha clan member turned around in anger, but seeing Hiromi, he was instantly embarrassed.
"Good what?" Hiromi narrowed his eyes, staring at him.
His tolerance for the Uchiha clan's stupidity had reached its limit. Being arrogant when you have strength is a capability. Being arrogant without strength is just stupidity.
He, Hiromi, had the strength. He could wipe out their clans and didn't care if others knew.
After all, the worst consequence would simply be making the world his enemy. He had that confidence.
But that didn't mean this group of clan members could go around being arrogant using his name. He wasn't there specifically to clean up the Uchiha clan's messes. If they made him this unhappy, he might as well wipe out this clan himself first.
The Sharingan in Hiromi's eyes flickered.
The clan member stared down by Hiromi broke into a cold sweat, feeling an intense life-or-death crisis.
The surrounding clan members fell silent. Even the nearby ninjas noticed, not daring to speak, gulping in fear and unease.
Silence reigned in the immediate vicinity while cheers erupted outside, creating a bizarre and oppressive atmosphere.
