"I think Shikaku Nara truly seemed to have changed his mind. He sincerely wanted to pledge himself to the Uchiha Clan."
Uchiha Shisui looked hesitant. After considering it again and again, he finally spoke.
Uchiha Kyu glanced at him and smiled faintly. "Are you here to speak on his behalf?"
Uchiha Shisui lowered his head respectfully.
"I would not dare. I merely wished to state my own judgment. Whether it is right or wrong is entirely up to the clan head."
Uchiha Kyu waved his hand with an unconcerned smile.
"The Nara Clan has survived until now by sticking together, withdrawing in time, and placing their bets decisively."
"No matter what Shikaku Nara chooses, it does not depend on our approval, but on his own performance."
Uchiha Kyu spread out a map of the world and drew a red circle around the Land of Fire.
"The Land of Fire is already entirely in my grasp. Do you all think that I will slow down next and peacefully develop the Land of Fire?"
Uchiha Kyu raised his head to look at Uchiha Shisui, letting out a cold snort.
"Could it be—" Uchiha Shisui cried out in surprise.
"That's right, just as you think. People cannot stop moving forward. Even development can be carried out through war."
"Once we stop advancing, many internal problems will emerge. By the time we have dealt with them, the enemies outside will already be prepared and waiting for us."
"The next targets we will conquer are these small nations, as well as the Land of Wind."
Uchiha Shisui lowered his head to look at the map and sighed in amazement.
"I imagine no one could have foreseen the clan head's plans."
"As long as we are fast enough, they will have no chance to react."
