"By crushing their combined army, every sand ninja will tremble and step aside when they see a Konoha ninja from now on!" Tobirama Senju declared with immense pride.
"But you still didn't manage to break into the village itself, did you?"
Tobirama gritted his teeth. "With this victory, I will not withdraw my forces until Sunagakure pays us reparations of ten billion ryō!"
"If you had conquered the entire village, everything in it would belong to Konoha anyway. Why bother worrying about mere money?" Aoi Ren's words were shocking and earth-shattering.
"You actually want to completely destroy and wipe out Sunagakure?!" Tobirama froze, his mouth hanging open in shock. "Do you understand what you are saying?!"
"I know exactly what I'm saying. It's you who doesn't understand!" Aoi Ren sneered disdainfully. "In this world, there can never be true peace between nations, or between villages!"
Tobirama's expression turned instantly grave. His voice dropped to a cold warning. "Do you realize what you are implying? Do you want to drag this world back into the Era of Warring States?"
"No. I am simply saying that perhaps true peace can only be achieved through total unification!" Aoi Ren stood up abruptly.
"Some things are not achieved by talking... they are achieved by doing!"
"You just want to start an even bigger war!" Tobirama frowned in disapproval. "Konoha has fought continuously. Right now, we need time to recover and rebuild..."
"Hmph!"
Aoi Ren scoffed in contempt. As the victors, were their losses really worse than the defeated side? This so-called "need for rest" was nothing more than weakness and misplaced sympathy...
"Weakness cannot bring peace!" Aoi Ren shook his head with a smile.
"How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan? What I want... you could never understand."
With that, Aoi Ren turned and walked out...
Only after leaving the Senju compound and calming down did Aoi Ren realize he had been too impulsive. He had said far too much to the traditional and stubborn Tobirama.
Yet he did not regret it. Because today, he had finally found his true purpose...
He had come to this world. What was he really here for? Was it just to win over beautiful women and defeat strong opponents?
In the end, what meaning would that life hold?
Today, he finally faced his true heart. As a modern man from Earth, there was always a grand ambition hidden within him!
To unify the entire Ninja World!
Throughout the original story, the theme of peace was constant. A common enemy, Akatsuki, forced the Five Great Villages and Nations to work together, creating a temporary peace.
But what happened once the story ended? Once the common threat was gone... would they really remain friends forever?
The answer was no.
People fight for profit. Where there is gain, there is conflict. Where there is conflict, there is war...
Only a single, unified nation could end the cycle forever!
For the first time, Aoi Ren understood what he truly desired. He wouldn't just be Hokage. He would become Mizukage, Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Raikage. Until he was the only Kage left standing in this entire world!
Lost in thought, Aoi Ren walked out of the gate. But he never expected someone was waiting for him right there.
"Young Patriarch! You are finally out!"
Kurama Shishin's face was wrinkled into a huge smile like a blooming chrysanthemum. He grabbed Aoi Ren's arm and tried to drag him away.
In broad daylight, a creepy old man pulling a cute little boy while making strange noises...
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
A passing housewife couldn't stand it any longer. She swung her rolling pin and charged over.
"Let go of that boy! If you want to do something, come at ME instead!"
"..."
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the aunt patted her belly heroically. "Even though it was a mistake, you can come find me anytime! I always have time for you!"
Once she left, Aoi Ren shook his head helplessly. "I am really not from the Kurama clan. What will it take for you to believe me?"
"I don't believe you! I will never believe you!"
Kurama Shishin clung to his legs, weeping dramatically. He hinted heavily, "Our clan possesses ancestral properties and wealth worth nearly ten billion ryō! It is all waiting for you, the Young Patriarch, to manage..."
Shishin was determined to stick to him like glue. But that fortune of nearly ten billion ryō...
It really was incredibly tempting!
