Uchiha Hikari? Who Was She? The Protagonist of a Fanfic???

Ensei Uchiha rather admired Madara Uchiha's decision. Naturally, he would not interfere with the establishment of the Land of Rain... No, it should now be called the Land of Dawn.

But while Ensei Uchiha did not care about any of this, the ninjas of the Ninja World were unwilling to accept it.

Likewise, the daimyō who were about to be swept into the dustbin of history were unwilling to accept this reality.

Minato Namikaze brought news of the daimyōs' bounty. It was a public bounty, not one aimed solely at Ensei Uchiha. The requirement was to destroy the newly founded Land of Dawn.

The reward was more than ten times the value of the materials Ensei Uchiha had requested before.

Converted into cash... it was probably over 36 billion!

Not expensive. Just the equivalent of around ten thousand Asumas.

This money was probably half the wealth of the five daimyō of Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning, and Earth, along with rewards in status, reputation, and other areas.

"I'm not going. Whoever wants to go can go! If all these ninja things died off, I wouldn't shed a tear."

Ensei Uchiha rejected Minato Namikaze's proposal without hesitation. Minato had not asked him to fight Madara Uchiha head-on, only to put on a show.

But... he was not going anywhere!

"Ensei, the materials in your laboratory were all bought with funds allocated by the daimyō of the Land of Fire."

"You can't disrespect the daimyō too much. Otherwise, the funding for the next phase..."

Minato Namikaze was in a difficult position, but he still had no choice but to explain.

Ensei Uchiha answered in an indifferent tone.

"It's fine. If he won't give it to me, I'll take it myself! He's afraid of Madara Uchiha. Do you think he'll be afraid of me?"
