Uchiha Shunichi stood atop the tallest roof of the Daimyo's Mansion, looking down over the city that had now been completely brought under control.
From entering the Land of Wind to taking over the capital, it had taken only a week.
There had not even been a proper battle.
That was the crushing force brought by absolute strength.
"Hokage-sama's gaze had long since reached farther ahead."
Shunichi thought to himself.
"And we are the sharpest blade in his hand, clearing away every obstacle before him."
Inside the Hokage's Office, Uchiha Yao slowly closed the last scroll concerning the new city's plans.
Outside the window, Konoha was flourishing with life.
At the construction site in the western district, thousands of Hidden Sand Village prisoners of war, watched over by Konoha ninja, sweated profusely as they turned patch after patch of wasteland into the foundations of the new city.
The spoils of war were being converted, in the most direct way possible, into Konoha's visibly growing strength.
Just as Uchiha Yao's gaze left the map, a cold voice that only he could hear sounded in his mind.
