In just a few years, it could leave every other village far behind!!
It might even trigger reforms in other countries. No one wanted to stand by and watch Konoha grow dominant on its own, continuing to develop without restraint.
If that happened, who would be able to stop Konoha when it moved against them in the future?
Konoha was already incredibly strong, having beaten the other nations until they could barely fight back. With a god of slaughter like Uchiha Ronglin there as well, no one even dared provoke them. If they kept developing under this model, wouldn't Konoha eventually soar to the heavens?
Thus, under the threat posed by Konoha, the other villages would certainly undertake some reforms.
Either the Daimyo would increase the power in their hands and raise the funding allocated to the villages, or they would also choose to integrate proactively, merging the villages of the major nations with their countries as a whole and developing with all their strength. Otherwise, they could never be a match for Konoha.
At the current rate of development, Konoha would only grow stronger and stronger, while the other villages could only accumulate strength slowly. Given enough time, problems would inevitably arise.
More importantly, Konoha's ruler, Uchiha Ronglin, was not someone who would sit still.
What if, with absolute strength on his side, he chose to expand?
Don't think this was mere fantasy. Ronglin truly did intend to expand.
He would continuously expand into the surrounding territories. When that time came, the small countries near Konoha would be the first to suffer. Of course, Ronglin could not possibly annex so many small countries all at once.
The impact would be too great. He would take them one at a time, finding excuses that left others speechless before sending troops
