Konohagakure.Inside the Hokage Office.
Uchiha Mirai glanced over the development plan for Konoha that Nara Shikaku had drawn up and couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.
Having a Nara as an advisor was truly invaluable.
No matter the situation, everything was handled with meticulous precision.
Even though Shikaku initially had no concept of a modernized city, after a simple explanation, he quickly grasped the idea and adapted it into a practical, feasible strategy.
"Shikaku, you've done well."
"How are the preparations for the Five Kage Summit?"
Shikaku accepted the document from Mirai and responded calmly,
"The other villages have already been notified. As long as you decide on a date, the summit can be held at any time."
Mirai nodded. "Set it for one month from now."
"Understood!"
After receiving his orders, Shikaku quickly left the office.
Mirai glanced around at the busy figures, including Kurenai Yuhi, and let out a bored yawn.
Once the Five Kage Summit was over, he would pass the Hokage title to Minato.
As for himself…
He would become the first—and only—Emperor of the Ninja World.
Stepping out of the Hokage Office, Mirai decided to visit Orochimaru and check on the progress of the experimental facility.
It had been some time since he had given Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan to Orochimaru, and he was curious about whether the mass-cloning project had been resolved.
"Hokage-sama, please wait!"
A gentle voice called out from behind him.
Turning around, Mirai saw Shizune running toward him, carrying Tonton in her arms.
Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "Shizune? What is it?"
She hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Hokage-sama, I need to talk to you about Lady Tsunade's debts."
Hearing this, Mirai's brow arched slightly.
It seemed Shizune still wasn't aware that Tsunade was already his. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come all this way just to discuss something like this.
After thinking for a moment, Mirai said, "Shizune, you don't need to worry about Tsunade's debts. In fact, she already—"
"I know!" Shizune suddenly interrupted, her tone serious. "Hokage-sama, you're too kind."
"That's exactly why I can't just stand by and let Lady Tsunade take advantage of you."
"She… she has no intention of repaying her debts."
Mirai gave Shizune an amused look. "Are you tattling on Tsunade?"
Shizune froze for a second, then shook her head vigorously. "No, no! I—I just want to repay her debts on her behalf!"
"Oh?" Mirai smirked. "You're rich?"
Shizune shook her head again. "I don't have money, but I can work for you as your personal maid."
"You can do whatever you want with me."
"My only request is that you don't resent Lady Tsunade or drive her out of Konoha."
"She has wandered for so many years and suffered enough."
Mirai let out a helpless chuckle. "You really leave me no choice."
Now he understood—this was just a beautiful misunderstanding.
Shizune didn't know about his relationship with Tsunade, so she worried that Tsunade's inability to repay her debts would lead to her being banished from the village.
Realizing this, Mirai said with a slight smile, "Shizune, then come with me."
"I'll teach you some skills that a maid should have."
"You have to learn properly."
"After all, you wouldn't want to see Tsunade's reputation ruined if she were thrown out of Konoha, right?"
Shizune nodded solemnly. "I understand, Hokage-sama!"
With a lamb walking straight into his den, Mirai wasn't about to refuse.
Besides, Shizune had already been on his list from the beginning.
With her joining, his secretary team would only grow stronger.
Handling ninja world affairs would become even more efficient.
Sigh…
Everything was for the sake of the ninja world. A little extra effort on his part was worth it.
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Under Mirai's orders, the Five Kage Summit was held in Konoha.
Fifth Kazekage Pakura, Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, Fifth Raikage Mabui, and Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi all arrived with their respective guards.
The moment they saw Uchiha Mirai, all four of them respectfully bowed.
"Mirai-sama."
Mirai waved a hand dismissively. "Since everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point."
"The purpose of this summit is to establish the future structure of the ninja world and to discuss certain hidden threats to our safety."
"Take your seats."
At the massive round table, Mirai sat at the head, while Mei Terumi and the others quietly awaited his speech.
Though the ninja world had yet to be fully unified, the Five Great Nations were already under Mirai's control.
It was only a matter of time before the smaller nations were conquered one by one.
Mei Terumi, Pakura, and the others were eager to know just what kind of world this man intended to create.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Mirai spoke.
"The Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Earth have all submitted to me."
"I have decided to unite them into a single empire—the Divine Nation."
"I will be its supreme ruler—the Emperor."
"Under the Emperor, the Five Kage will serve as regional governors, each overseeing one of the five territories."
"The specifics will be explained to you later by Nara Shikaku."
Mirai briefly outlined his vision for the empire.
The framework was still rough, but it was enough for now.
All he needed to do was propose the idea—his subordinates could refine it over time.
After all…
There was no need to worry about rebellion, dissatisfaction, or power struggles.
No matter how flawed the system was, absolute strength made all opposition irrelevant.
Given enough time, he trusted Shikaku, Mabui, and the others to craft a system that would sustain the empire efficiently.
"Mirai-sama, we will do our utmost to support your plan."
Seeing Mabui and the others obediently agreeing, Mirai continued.
"In the coming days, I will gradually conquer the smaller nations. You must be prepared to take over administration at any time."
"Additionally, select some talented researchers from your own countries. To address future threats, I need to establish a large-scale scientific research division."
Hearing this, Ōnoki and the others exchanged puzzled looks.
"What exactly are these future threats you speak of?"
"What is the hidden truth you promised to reveal at this summit?"
"And… why go through all this effort to unify the ninja world?"
Looking at their confused expressions, Mirai's voice turned solemn.
"The ninja world has always been on the brink of destruction."
"To understand why, we must go back to ancient times…"
