This was a question directed at the Third Kazekage. Even though he was known as the strongest Kazekage, he still had to lower his head before the Land of Wind. The young man before him had the power to influence the situation in the Land of Wind. One careless move, and Sunagakure could be destroyed.
The pressure had shifted to the Third Kazekage. Helplessly, he glanced at the daimyo before finally saying something against his heart:
"His Lordship the Daimyo is mistaken. I see a horse."
The ninja who had just been standing beside Uchiha Yuu stared in astonishment. But soon, one ninja chose to stand behind Uchiha Yuu. The Third Kazekage was their leader; if even he had chosen a side, what about the ninja beneath him?
"It seems His Lordship the Daimyo was mistaken."
Uchiha Yuu watched the other man's face flush red, unsure whether it was from anger or fear. At last, like a deflated ball, he slumped into his seat and said mournfully:
"It is indeed a horse. I was mistaken."
Yuu had effortlessly crushed his resistance. Being a daimyo was not merely about the power in one's hands; it also required support from all sides. With neither the nobles nor the ninja willing to help him, he could only resign himself to becoming a puppet.
Everyone's gaze fell upon Uchiha Yuu. From this day forward, he would likely be the uncrowned king of the Land of Wind.
The corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably. It was a perfect finishing touch.
Everyone present whom Uchiha Yuu looked at lowered their heads slightly in respect.
Of course, this was only the preliminary work. Having become the greatest power in the Land of Wind, he would no longer need to rely on another's status to get things done.
