"Kazuma, tell me, can you bring the Land of Fire a resounding victory?"
"From Hiruzen to Minato to Tsunade, the Land of Fire has waited far too long for this victory!"
Having calmed down, the Daimyō tossed his treasured sword aside, returned to his chair, and looked across at Kazuma.
"I will surely achieve a decisive victory!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Kazuma immediately spoke:
"Uchiha Xuantou is greedy for wealth and women, while I have neither desires nor cravings. That is my first advantage."
"Konoha and Xuanyin are divided into two camps, while my subordinates and I work as one. That is my second advantage."
"Xuandou has no advantages, while I have two. That is my third advantage."
"Three advantages lead to victory in every battle, so I am certain to win this war!"
He held his head high and thrust out his chest, his eyes full of smug satisfaction.
He already had complete confidence in victory!
Even if his opponent were the Sage of Six Paths, he could guarantee that he would not lose.
"Still, you would do well not to grow too arrogant, Kazuma."
The Land of Fire's Daimyō nodded in satisfaction, his eyes full of approval, then offered a warning:
"Xuanyin managed to conquer the Land of Iron, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Earth in succession... they must have exceptional strengths."
"Even with a ninety percent chance of victory, you must not overlook the remaining ten percent chance of defeat!"
"You would do well not to let your guard down!"
"I think so too. Thank you for bringing me to my senses, Lord Daimyō. Even the slightest possibility of defeat must be taken seriously. We must never give the Uchiha a chance to turn the tables."
"You truly have thought of everything, my lord!"
