(Dear readers, please understand the author's hard work and give this book a 5-star rating!)

Inside the Hokage's office, sunlight streamed through the half-open blinds, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

Fugaku Uchiha sat behind his large desk, his fingers tapping lightly on the surface.

His voice was low and restrained, as if he was trying his best to suppress some kind of emotion: "Mitsubin, you are the most outstanding genius in our Uchiha clan. I have high hopes for you, which is why I promoted you to the position of head of the security department."

He slowly stood up, placed his hands on the table, and his voice gradually turned cold.

"But your performance at the meeting today disappointed me. Publicly opposing me only makes others think that there is discord within the Uchiha clan, which undermines our prestige."

Uchiha Mitsunori remained calm, his black uniform accentuating his tall and straight figure.

He looked directly into Fugaku Uchiha's eyes, showing no sign of backing down: "I have reasons to object."

Fugaku Uchiha's pupils contracted slightly, and a vein throbbed faintly on his forehead: "What reason?"

Uchiha Mitsumine's voice was calm and clear: "I ordered Kakashi to assassinate Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, so I have to protect him."

The air froze instantly.

Fugaku Uchiha's face suddenly darkened, and his fingers tightened sharply, causing the teacup on the table to jump.

Tea spilled onto the document, spreading out in a dark hue.

His voice was almost forced out through clenched teeth: "What...did...you...say...?"

Uchiha Mitsunaga remained calm: "I said, Kakashi's actions were at my behest."

But this lukewarm response only fueled Fugaku Uchiha's anger.

His breathing quickened noticeably, and his voice still trembled: "Why did you do this? And... such an important matter... why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand?"

Uchiha Mitsunori replied calmly, "Because I knew you wouldn't agree, I had no choice but to act first and inform you later."

"you......!"

Fugaku Uchiha slammed his fist on the table, scattering the documents all over the floor.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but his eyes remained sharp as a knife: "Then tell me, why did you kill them?"

Uchiha Mitsunaga's eyes were sharp as knives as he slowly spoke:

"First: Before the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha had 24163 ninjas, but now there are only 6652 left. The reduction in short-term missions will not affect the overall situation at all."

Fugaku Uchiha frowned even more, suppressing his anger and not interrupting.

"Secondly, I let the Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mito clans leave Konoha with their wealth in order to build a reputation for 'Konoha treating ninja clans well.' With this reputation, we can easily recruit other ninja clans to join us and quickly restore our strength."

Fugaku Uchiha touched his forehead, seemingly considering the validity of this reason.

"Third: I had Kakashi assassinate Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado so that the ninja world would know... that betraying Konoha comes at a price."

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes flickered, clearly indicating that he also agreed with this reason.

"Fourth: I let the four clans leave with their wealth, and at the same time spread the news that 'they possess a great deal of wealth' throughout the ninja world. The deaths of Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were a signal to those greedy people... They can also steal this wealth."

Fugaku Uchiha's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and he even paused slightly in his breathing.

"Fifth: Before the establishment of ninja villages, ninjas were merely the black gloves of nobles, obeying orders. But after the establishment of ninja villages, ninjas banded together into military groups, and the daimyo instinctively rejected us. He won over the Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mito clans in order to suppress Konoha."

Uchiha Mitsumine's voice suddenly turned icy cold: "I had Kakashi kill them to tell the Daimyo... that the people he chose are completely unreliable."

"sixth......"

Upon hearing Uchiha Mitsunori spout a long string of reasons, Uchiha Fugaku felt a surge of annoyance.

His eyes were complicated, and his voice was tired and helpless: "Alright, Sanfeng, let's end this here."

Uchiha Mitsumine nodded slightly, his expression serious: "Yes, Hokage-sama."

Fugaku Uchiha's gaze was deep, carrying a hint of warning: "Next time you have a plan like this, tell me in advance."

"clear"

After speaking, Uchiha Mitsunori slowly walked out of the room and gently closed the door, leaving only Fugaku in the office.

He stared at the spilled tea and murmured, "Sanfeng, this kid... is more dangerous than I thought."

......

The Fourth Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha, ordered that Kakashi Hatake be classified as an A-rank rogue ninja and placed on the wanted list throughout the ninja world.

The news was quickly delivered to Daming Prefecture.

Inside the magnificent council hall, the daimyo of the Land of Fire reclined on a soft couch, toying with an exquisite jade fan in his hand.

There were four ninjas in front of him, representing the Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mito clans.

The elder of the Utatane clan cried out in grief and indignation, "Lord Daimyo, clan leaders Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were brutally murdered by the Konoha traitor Kakashi! Please bring us justice!"

The Daimyo lazily raised his eyelids and lightly tapped his palm with his jade fan: "Oh? Didn't Konoha already designate Hatake Kakashi as an A-rank rogue ninja?"

The Mito clan ninja gritted his teeth: "But this is far from enough! Fugaku Uchiha is clearly just going through the motions! He has no sincerity whatsoever in severely punishing the murderer!"

The daimyo chuckled lightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd: "So what do you want me to do? Send troops to attack Konoha?"

Everyone paused for a moment, then fell silent.

The daimyo closed his jade fan and said leisurely, "Since your four clans have chosen to submit to me, you should understand that what I need are pawns who can share my burdens, not burdens who only know how to cry and complain."

Upon hearing this, the four clan leaders lowered their heads and remained silent.
