"Revolution! Let the entire Ninja World completely break free from the shackles of the daimyō's supremacy and the rule of the nobility.
Let all shinobi no longer gamble their lives for missions, and let the common people of the Ninja World live without war.
Let everyone have food when they are hungry, a home when they are cold, a doctor when they are sick, and support in old age—this is my goal!"
As his words fell, the office fell completely silent.
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell upon Tianyi, enveloping his entire body in a warm halo.
Nara Shikaku stood beside the desk, his eyes widening slightly as Tianyi's silhouette reflected in his pupils.
At that moment, Tianyi seemed to be glowing, an intangible radiance shining from within.
That light was impossible to ignore, making people hold their breath without realizing it.
Shikaku was the Nara Clan's genius strategist, one of Leaf Village's calmest and most rational minds.
Yet at this moment, he felt a surge of heat rush from his spine to the top of his head. It was the long-forgotten passion of his youth, like when he had first stepped onto a battlefield.
Tsunade sat behind the desk in silence for a moment, then suddenly slammed her palm onto the tabletop.
Bang! Her lips curled into a bold smile.
"Hahahaha! Excellent! My disciple, Tsunade, is truly different!
Grandfather! You were wrong to distribute the Tailed Beasts back then. For decades, the entire Ninja World has paid a tremendous price for that single act of kindness.
And now, my disciple has gone further than you ever did. Hahahaha, Tianyi, go ahead and do whatever you want! I'll bear the burden of being your support!"
Tianyi gave a slight bow, the corners of his lips rising. "Thank you, Master."
