Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

Sasuke raised his head.

The candlelight shone brightly on the ceiling.

After witnessing the Soul Society's "Real World," he realized how distorted the ninja world truly was.

Despite possessing considerable productivity thanks to the power of chakra, the people's way of life remains in an ancient and primitive stage.

Those in high positions seem to have a morbid obsession with this extravagant lifestyle built with countless human resources and manpower.

These famous figures before us are especially so.

A huge crystal chandelier swayed overhead, and oil lamps flickered.

Bright light shone on the five daimyo, making their luxurious silk garments gleam.

Compared to their surroundings, the corner where Sasuke was standing appeared exceptionally dark, with only natural light filtering through the broken window.

They ran away...

The daimyo of the Land of Fire stared blankly, his voice trembling.

Their last hope, the arrogant Madara Uchiha, actually ran away after uttering just a few words.

Without the slightest lingering attachment, they didn't even glance back at these "high and mighty figures."

Sasuke emerged from the shadows.

"You...you stay away!"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire cried out in terror, his obese body kicking backward repeatedly.

"Damn Uchiha Madara!" the daimyo of the Land of Lightning cursed.

He trembled, trying to salvage the situation through negotiation: "What...what do you want? We can talk!"

"Standing before you are the supreme rulers of the five great nations! We possess the greatest wealth and land in the world!"

He stretched out his hand, trembling, "As long as you let us go, whether you want money, land, or women, we can satisfy all your desires!"

"To fulfill all my needs?"

Sasuke stopped and looked at these rulers, who were behaving so disgracefully, and smiled slightly.

“Your name…” he said softly, but with a strange contempt in his voice, “Even at a time like this, you still have to bring up this empty title?”

"What use is it now?"

The famous figures were stunned.

They all opened their mouths wide, but couldn't utter a single word.

Sasuke looked at them, his sarcasm deepening, and slowly raised the "Indra" in his hand.

The black blade reflected a chilling light in the candlelight.

"You...you want to kill us?!" The daimyo of the Land of Water screamed as he looked at the sword. "You'd better think about the consequences!"

"We are daimyo! Rulers blessed by the gods! If you kill us, you will have completely offended the five great ninja villages!"

"Those ninjas will never let you go!"

"Even on the verge of death, you still cling to such naive illusions." Sasuke looked at him. "Don't you understand what's really going on?"

The daimyo lowered their heads, their bodies trembling violently.

Now that things have come to this, how could they not see it? They just don't dare to believe it, and they don't want to believe it.

Even if you're unwilling to admit it.

They also had to face the cruel reality that the title of "Daimyo" had long lost its value for those powerful "ninjas".

After they and their companions die, will the five great ninja villages seek revenge?

I'm afraid not.

Not only will it not happen, but after I die, those ninjas who have been hesitant and indecisive will probably jump out from the shadows immediately.

They will raise the banner of "justice" and charge to the front lines, becoming the primary contributors to "breaking the old ninja system".

Use the blood of famous figures to dye their new era's official hats and plumes red.

"I've been deceived!"

The Fire Country Daimyo suddenly scrambled to his feet, disheveled, eyes bloodshot, and roared like a madman, "He was deceived by that guy named Uchiha Obito! And those despicable ninjas!"

"You...you deceived us!"

He was extremely angry and extremely desperate.

Everything was originally under my control.

He thought that as long as he exploited the conflicts between the ninjas and their loyalty to the daimyo, he could sit back and watch these tools kill each other, just like before.

But suddenly, all of this became a mirage.

Now he has finally figured it out.

Why do those ninjas of Konoha, who clearly have the power to refuse to serve me, still allow themselves to be manipulated in the appointment of "Kage"?

Even Kakashi, that guy, only chose to resign rather than rebel.

the reason is simple.

Those people chose the safest "ending".

The "ninja system" that has existed for thousands of years is deeply rooted in the blood of those people.

They dare not easily break free of this cage, nor do they have enough courage to face the uncertainties of the future.

Most importantly, they don't need to break it.

They, a group of daimyo, had foolishly declared war on Uchiha Sasuke.

Regardless of who wins or loses, there will eventually be a result.

If they were lucky enough to win, and even a monster like Uchiha Sasuke couldn't break the "ninja system," then they would have no reason to continue causing trouble and should just maintain the status quo.

Their abilities speak for themselves; a powerful family remains a powerful family, and they are still the pillars of the ninja world.

If Uchiha Sasuke wins.

The "ninja system" was broken, the old ruling class disappeared, and they were also direct beneficiaries.

As for being stripped of his "Shadow" status, this minor loss of reputation is nothing compared to the benefits of truly controlling his own destiny.

"Heh..." The Fire Country Daimyo laughed bitterly, tears and snot mingling together. "So, we were the clowns all along..."

"Your own eyes are clouded, yet you blame others."

Sasuke coldly interrupted his self-pity, "As a daimyo of a country, you have such a pampered and irresponsible personality."

"It's disgusting."

The kaleidoscope in his eye sockets spun rapidly, and the daimyo of the Land of Fire froze, his eyes instantly losing focus.

In his mental world, the once magnificent Daming Mansion collapsed instantly, turning into a boundless sea of ​​blood.

Countless wronged souls crawled out of the sea of ​​blood; they were ninjas and civilians who died in wars throughout the ages.

They reached out their rotting hands, grabbed the obese body of the daimyo tightly, and dragged him little by little into the stinking pool of blood.

"Aaaaaahh ...

In reality, the daimyo of the Land of Fire started yelling and waving his hands wildly in the air.

Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, nostrils, and eyes, making him look extremely miserable.

The other four daimyo looked on with even greater horror at the sight.

"no, do not want......"

The daimyo of the Land of Water collapsed to the ground, his legs giving way beneath him, an overwhelming stench emanating from his groin.

The physical incontinence makes this fear even more tangible.

"Please! Spare me! I'll do anything you ask!" The daimyo of the Land of Earth knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately.

But Sasuke showed no mercy.

The four of them, with their eyes wide open, died one by one in the illusion.

A series of cautious noises came from outside the house.

They were the ninjas who had followed them all the way but dared not attack them.

The unexpected turn of events inside the house shocked and terrified them.

But duty called, so they gritted their teeth and joined in.

"W-What happened?!"

"Lord Daimyo?!"

Several daring ninjas broke down the door and rushed in.

A horrified uproar erupted instantly, and the ninjas, their faces ashen, retreated in panic.

"call--"

A gust of wind blew in through the broken window, stirring up dust from the ground and whipping the ninjas' heads as they rushed into the house.

On the ceiling, the oil lamps that were originally bright were extinguished one by one by the strong wind.

The light dimmed rapidly.

Along with the death of the daimyo, it heralded the end of an era.

"Ninja system..."

Sasuke watched the last flickering candlelight fade and sheathed his long sword.

"This is the end."
