Such a shinobi world is truly deformed.
Uchiha Yuzuru's gaze grew cold.
In this supernatural world, those who possessed power ought to enjoy everything. Regardless of what others thought, he had absolutely no interest in daimyos or their ilk.
If they dared to go against his will, he would simply kill them!
The Raikage Building, Office of the Raikage.
The Third Raikage, Mabushin, and Dodai were discussing how to utilize the reparations from Konoha Village.
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru enter, Mabushin and Dodai immediately stood up. "Lord Yuzuru."
They admired this young man from the bottom of their hearts—the one whose immense power had single-handedly catapulted Kumogakure's strength to the peak of the shinobi world. Without Uchiha Yuzuru, the ninjas of Kumogakure would never have enjoyed their current prosperous lives.
The Third Raikage asked curiously, "Yuzuru, is there something you need help with?"
"In the Land of Lightning's Valley of Hell, the Chinoike clan is still imprisoned, correct?"
"They possess the Ketsuryūgan Kekkai Genkai. It would be a terrible waste not to utilize such power."
"I want to bring them back to the village."
When Uchiha Yuzuru finished speaking, the Third Raikage, Dodai, and Mabushin were all stunned.
They had never expected Uchiha Yuzuru to suddenly make such a request.
Kumogakure had few Kekkai Genkai, so they had always thirsted for ninjas who possessed them. The Second Raikage had once petitioned the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, hoping to release a few talented members of the Chinoike clan, but he was sternly refused.
Consequently, Kumogakure had preferred to plunder children with Kekkai Genkai from across the shinobi world rather than consider releasing the Chinoike clan from the Valley of Hell.
Now that Uchiha Yuzuru was proposing this, it put them in a difficult position...
"Yuzuru, why do you suddenly want to release the Chinoike clan?"
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, the Third Raikage recalled the conversation they had shared in this very building that day.
Uchiha Yuzuru's goal was to change the current structure of the shinobi world and establish a single, unified nation.
He had been shocked for quite a while back then.
If it was for that objective, then Uchiha Yuzuru's reasoning was understandable. After all, to unify the entire shinobi world, Kumogakure's current strength was far from sufficient.
Seeing the Third Raikage hesitate, Dodai and Mabushin asked curiously from the side, "Lord Raikage, what is this matter Lord Yuzuru speaks of?"
The Third Raikage glanced at Uchiha Yuzuru. Seeing no objection from him, he said in a deep voice, "Yuzuru wants to unify the shinobi world and establish a Grand Unified Nation."
"What?!"
Mabushin and Dodai both dropped their jaws in shock.
Unify the shinobi world?
That was a bit too insane, wasn't it?!
Seeing their reaction, the Third Raikage looked as if he had expected it. He, too, had been unable to recover from the shock for a long time when he first heard the news.
One had to realize that even they, who usually considered themselves quite radical, only ever aspired to lead Kumogakure to become the strongest shinobi village...
After a long while, Dodai licked his dry lips and asked Uchiha Yuzuru, "Lord Yuzuru, do you really intend to unify the shinobi world?"
Uchiha Yuzuru nodded with a calm expression. "That is correct. The current shinobi world is filled with tragedy."
"I will establish a new order and realize true peace."
Only by unifying the shinobi world could he develop safely, strengthen the Uchiha clan, and continuously acquire various powerful bloodlines.
Kaguya Otsutsuki, Isshiki Otsutsuki, Momoshiki Otsutsuki...
And that legendary Otsutsuki God!
If he could not obtain power that surpassed them, Uchiha Yuzuru would never be at ease.
It could be said that from the moment he awakened his memories, his goal was no longer limited to this mere shinobi world.
"Leaving aside the fact that we must possess enough power to crush the other shinobi villages, just the Daimyos..."
"They would never agree to us doing this."
Even though war erupted in the shinobi world every so often, the daimyos would never sit idly by and watch one faction become dominant. To them, the current situation where ninjas kept each other in check was the ideal state of affairs.
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru let out a few cold chuckles. He looked at Mabushin and Dodai. "Since just now, you keep saying 'Daimyo, Daimyo, Daimyo'..."
"But this is what I am going to do. Why should I need to ask for their opinion?"
Once Uchiha Yuzuru finished speaking, the Third Raikage, Dodai, and Mabushin froze in place once again.
The Daimyo was the ruler of the country. Shouldn't one seek the Daimyo's opinion on such matters?
Seeing their expressions, Uchiha Yuzuru spoke directly. "Powerful ninjas taking orders from a daimyo—that is a deformed system to begin with."
"The fact that the shinobi world has become like this is inextricably linked to those parasites who hold positions without doing any work."
"Eliminating the daimyos was originally part of my plan as well."
"So..." Uchiha Yuzuru looked at the three men, who were now shocked into numbness, and spoke slowly. "No matter what we do, there is no need to care about the so-called Daimyo."
"If he has an opinion, I will go and kill him."
"When death descends, the Daimyo and those nobles will understand that we are not lowly tools; we are the masters of this land!"
As his voice fell, the entire office went silent.
After a long while, Dodai spoke in a voice that had turned somewhat hoarse. "If we kill the Daimyo, the other daimyos will definitely not sit back and watch. We will become the enemy of the entire shinobi world."
"Hahahahaha..."
Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but laugh aloud. "Dodai, what do you think I am trying to do? Becoming enemies with the entire shinobi world is only a matter of time."
Dodai fell silent after hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words.
Matters regarding the future fate of the village were no longer something he could decide.
The Third Raikage looked straight at Uchiha Yuzuru and asked in a deep voice, "Yuzuru, are you confident?"
"If we follow your plan, we will likely face the powerhouses of the entire shinobi world!"
"Hmph! Mere gravel, not worth half of me."
Uchiha Yuzuru's pitch-black eyes transformed into the crimson Mangekyo Sharingan, his tone filled with confidence. "These eyes of mine can help me achieve anything."
"Good!"
The Third Raikage laughed heartily and patted Uchiha Yuzuru heavily on the shoulder. "Actually, I've been annoyed with the Daimyo for a long time. That bunch of bastards only considers their own interests and doesn't care about whether we live or die."
"Besides..." The expression on the Third Raikage's face became somewhat agitated. "My favorite thing to do is fight against the strong!"
His body was trembling not from fear, but from excitement.
With the power Uchiha Yuzuru currently displayed, perhaps they could really do it!
Becoming revolutionaries who surpassed Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara—just thinking about it made his blood boil!
Seeing the Third Raikage agree, a smile appeared on Uchiha Yuzuru's face as well.
Among all the Kage, only the Third Raikage would agree to such a crazy plan.
For this alone, he would rewrite the Third Raikage's fate.
Seeing the two of them, Dodai and Mabushin exchanged a glance and smiled bitterly.
One Third Raikage was already radical enough, and now there was an even more radical Uchiha Yuzuru...
What else could they say? They could only go crazy along with them.
"Alright, today's matters are classified top secret. You are not to leak a single word to anyone."
"Yuzuru, I'll write you a warrant right now. Go to the Valley of Hell and bring the Chinoike clan back."
"Alright."
As the Third Raikage was writing the warrant, Mabushin couldn't help but tease, "Lord Yuzuru, your personality is truly similar to Lord Raikage's. You always like to use force to solve problems."
Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head and retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. I always use my wisdom to solve problems."
"Is that so?" Mabushin laughed. "But the things you want to do clearly rely on force."
"That is because my wisdom tells me I should use my force to solve the problem."
"Hahahahaha..."
The Third Raikage was amused and immediately nodded in agreement. "That's right, actually, I'm the same."
After joking for a while, Uchiha Yuzuru took the Third Raikage's warrant and walked out of the Raikage Building.
He had heard that the Chinoike clan's Kekkai Genkai was very similar to the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. Did that imply the Chinoike clan were also descendants of Indra?
If his guess was correct, then after obtaining the bloodline power of the Chinoike clan, his spiritual power might receive a massive boost, just as it had when he obtained the Yotsuki clan's bloodline.
Land of Lightning.
There were no clouds in the sky, yet a roaring sound like thunder rang out incessantly.
Uchiha Yuzuru wore clothes bearing the Uchiha clan's fan crest, with a long sword slung across his waist. His long black hair danced in the wind, and his pitch-black eyes looked even deeper against his fair skin.
He walked alone on the road, blue arcs of electricity occasionally flashing across his body.
"After unlocking the Yotsuki clan's bloodline, tempering my body with Lightning Release is even more seamless than before..."
Uchiha Yuzuru felt the changes in his body, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
The next second, the sound of a thousand birds chirping rang out, and Uchiha Yuzuru's right hand was wrapped in a massive amount of lightning.
"I've completely mastered Chidori and its derivative, the Chidori Stream. Combined with the Sharingan, it can display excellent power in combat. When I get back, I can teach the cultivation method to the clansmen."
Uchiha Yuzuru dispersed the Chidori in his hand. With a thought, a sky-blue chakra ball immediately appeared in his palm.
Next, I should research the nature transformation of the Rasengan.
Cultivating as he walked, Uchiha Yuzuru arrived at a landscape that resembled a Gobi desert. Looking around, everywhere was weathered rock and towering rocky mountains.
Hardly any plants could be seen.
Combined with the never-ending thunder in the sky, it gave one the feeling of being in hell.
"To be imprisoned in a place like this for hundreds of years... being able to survive shows they are truly tough."
Uchiha Yuzuru stopped at a canyon. Outside the entrance were a dozen or so stone houses built from rock.
Dozens of Cloud ninja blocked Uchiha Yuzuru's path, speaking coldly, "Ahead is a forbidden area. Do not approach."
Uchiha Yuzuru didn't say much; he simply took the Third Raikage's warrant from his chest pocket and threw it over.
Moments later, the dozens of Cloud ninja were all kneeling on one knee. "Greetings, Lord Yuzuru!"
"You may return to the village."
Hearing this, the lead Cloud ninja said, "Lord Yuzuru, those guys inside are very dangerous. Do you want us to stay and help you?"
"No need."
Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand and walked unhurriedly toward the canyon.
The space at the very front of the canyon was very narrow, only allowing enough room for one person to pass.
