The Village Hidden in the Leaves.

Five years ago, since Uchiha Madara left the village, Senju Hashirama did not succumb to despair. Instead, with the cooperation of his brother Tobirama, he governed the village in an orderly and prosperous manner.

He continuously improved the policies of the shinobi village, using the funds invested by the official government of the Land of Fire as seed capital to heavily invest in the construction of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Tobirama even established the Shinobi Academy to cultivate high-quality shinobi.

Regardless of family bloodlines or social status, any child capable of condensing chakra, even commoners, could receive formal shinobi education.

Simultaneously, the Village Hidden in the Leaves also dispatched shinobi to accept mission requests from various parties, thereby obtaining substantial mission rewards and driving the economic growth of the Land of Fire.

With ample financial resources, the Land of Fire could allocate funds for military expenditures, maintaining a large number of shinobi in the Village Hidden in the Leaves as national military forces. Combined with its unique geographical advantages, the Land of Fire swiftly became the country with the strongest comprehensive power in the world.

Without exception.

At this moment, in a training ground within the forest of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

Figures darted through the forest, accompanied by occasional crisp metallic clashing sounds, indicating that a battle was underway. The rapid and dense breathing suggested that there were more than two people involved.

With two muffled grunts, two youths simultaneously flew out from the tree canopy, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"It's not over yet!"

A spiky-haired youth emerged from a hidden corner, forming hand seals and shouting, "Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

He expelled a thin, transparent line of wind from his mouth, which shot straight into the tree canopy!

Leaves fluttered chaotically as a cool voice emanated from the canopy, "Danzo, you've been hiding until now just for this move?"

Danzo tilted his head, and the wind line from his mouth slashed diagonally like a long blade, instantly splitting the tree canopy in two, severing branches and leaves in unison.

A youth leaped up from the tree canopy, the sun blurring his silhouette, leaving only a shadow.

A flash of frustration crossed Danzo's face—he had missed his target.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Claw Red!"

Immediately, Danzo's eyes were illuminated by flames as dozens of burning fireballs flew out from the shadow!

"Uchiha Kagami! Don't underestimate me!"

Danzo growled, changing his hand seals and thrusting out both palms, "Wind Release: Air Slash Wave!"

Wind pressure gathered in his palms, expelling bullet-like air currents. Under the impact of this force, the fireballs swayed precariously, extinguishing one after another in the surging wind.

However, Danzo did not show a relieved expression, for he saw that within the extinguished flames, spinning shuriken were revealed!

"Not good!" he exclaimed.

"Buzz!"

In the air, countless hidden threads materialized. The shuriken paused briefly in front of Danzo's face before shooting back into the bushes like a flock of birds returning to their nest, landing in the hands of the youth.

The youth landed sideways, his black robe fluttering in the wind. He stood with his back to the crowd, hands clasped behind him, the prominent "Uchiwa" clan emblem on his back clearly visible.

"You've lost," Uchiha Kagami stated indifferently.

On the ground, a pineapple-haired, monkey-faced youth struggled to get up, unwilling to concede. "I... I can still fight!"

"Hiruzen, I've already held back," Kagami's voice was cool and detached. "The gap between a Jonin and a Chunin isn't something that can be bridged by numbers."

"Hmph, as long as I can still move, I haven't lost!" Sarutobi Hiruzen glared, leaping up from the ground. He drew a kunai and charged straight toward that back.

"Fine then, let me show you what the true power of the Uchiha is..."

As the kunai drew closer, Uchiha Kagami remained motionless. Without any extra movement, he simply turned his head and glared.

In his crimson pupils, three comma-shaped tomoe rotated slightly. Like a kite with its string cut, Hiruzen fell to the ground with a thud, motionless.

"What!" Koharu Utatane and Danzo Shimura exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with disbelief.

'This bastard... he's been toying with us all along...' Koharu pushed up her glasses nervously, 'If he wanted to, he could have ended the fight in an instant!'

"Is this... the power of the Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan?" Danzo stood frozen in place.

At that moment, Kagami walked over to Hiruzen, bent down, and picked up the kunai, placing it horizontally against Hiruzen's nape.

"That's enough. If this were a battlefield, you'd already be dead twice over," he said. "Whether it's ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu, I can crush you all with ease."

Danzo pressed down on his trembling right hand, forcing himself to remain calm. "Even so, you still won't gain our recognition!"

Kagami frowned slightly. "I've already agreed to all your demands. I was promoted to Jonin, and you challenged me. I accepted, whether it was a gauntlet or a group fight. Must I lose to you for it to count?"

"Talking like that is too arrogant. We're not that weak!" Danzo snorted coldly.

"I know you don't like me, but we're all part of Konoha. We need to get along. Only by uniting can Konoha grow stronger. I truly..." Kagami sighed softly, "truly want to be friends with all of you."

"Friends? What are you thinking? Your Uchiha clan produced that traitor, and yet you dare to dream of integrating with us?"

"Wh... what?" Kagami suddenly fell silent.

Danzo, as if remembering something, grew more animated, as if this could restore the dignity he had lost in defeat.

"That's right! Five years ago, your traitorous brother defected from Konoha, killing so many comrades, including Jonin from our Shimura clan. That debt, Uchiha Kagami, you can never repay!"

Kagami's voice grew low. "Say that again."

"Hmph, I said, your damn traitorous brother—ugh!"

The sound of wind rose and fell. A kunai pressed against Danzo's throat. It was so sudden that Danzo didn't even react. All he felt was a blur before his eyes, a pain in his neck, and the tip of the kunai piercing his skin.

Warm blood seeped out, quickly covering his neck. The wind blew, chilling him to the bone.

Uchiha Kagami slowly leaned down, his crimson eyes swirling with an indescribable ferocity. A cold aura transmitted through the kunai, causing Danzo to shiver involuntarily.

"I will personally bring him back to the village! That is the sole motivation that has driven my relentless training to this day!" Kagami whispered into Danzo's ear, word by word. "Until then, don't you dare spread rumors!"

"Thud!"

Danzo collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide with shock, gasping for breath.

"Uchiha Kamihane..." Koharu lay sprawled on the ground, letting out a long breath, her voice tinged with lingering fear. "That guy is ridiculously strong. That night, he killed 16 Jonin. Even Tobirama-sama was helpless against him, wanting to bring him back..."

She looked at Uchiha Kagami, her tone softening. "With just Jonin-level strength, it's probably not enough..."

"Tobirama-sama has recognized my resolve and agreed to take me as his personal disciple. As long as I can master that jutsu..."

Uchiha Kagami gazed into the distant sky, the crimson sunset casting a golden glow over his eyes. That was the direction of Konoha's entrance.

"Brother, no matter where you are, no matter the cost, I will personally... bring you back to the village!"
