Konoha: After the Diary Was Exposed, the Kunoichi Fell Apart

Maybe Madara had been right after all.

"Naruto, what are you going to do?"

Tobirama Senju asked.

"I told you. I'm going to overthrow the Ninja Village System and establish a unified nation."

"Ninja will no longer depend on the daimyos. The daimyos will depend on Ninja."

"I'll build roads and connect every part of the Shinobi World, so resources can flow freely between them."

"I'll keep all power in my own hands. Anyone who opposes me gets wiped out."

Naruto Uzumaki outlined his plan in a few simple sentences.

He had no detailed plan for any of it yet, just a general idea.

As for the specifics,

he would have to get the experts to flesh them out later.

Tobirama Senju's brow remained furrowed.

"That won't work."

"Naruto, your idea sounds good, but there may still be plenty of problems."

"The biggest one is that, even if you unify the entire Shinobi World, people won't accept a ruler who lacks sufficient prestige."

"And unless every successive ruler commands absolute respect, the Shinobi World could quickly splinter again."

"Ensuring that every ruler commands that kind of respect is practically impossible."

Tobirama Senju spoke gravely.

In some ways, the unified nation Naruto Uzumaki wanted to build would be even harder to achieve than the Ninja Village System.

Naruto Uzumaki smiled at his words.

he revealed something that left everyone there utterly stunned.

"There's no need to worry about who will rule the Shinobi World."

"Because..."

"No matter how many years pass, the Shinobi World will have only one true ruler from now on: me, Naruto Uzumaki!"

Immortality? Orochimaru was thrilled, Tsunade attacked, and this "wave" was worth it!

At Naruto Uzumaki's words,

Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Orochimaru, and Tsunade all gaped in shock.

From now on,
