Uchiha Yuzuru's dark eyes held a profound depth.
They had encountered many similar incidents on their journey.
He wasn't a saint, but the education he received before transmigrating prevented him from turning a blind eye to all of it.
In the current ninja world, people at the bottom lived in constant misery.
While his goal was to become the strongest and achieve immortality, he didn't mind improving the current state of the ninja world along the way.
Perhaps the order he would establish in the future would also have its flaws, but at least it wouldn't be plagued by rampant bandits and people treated like fodder.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Yuzuru spoke to Hatake Sakumo, "Sakumo, it's not just these ordinary people."
"Even ninjas live precarious lives every day."
"For missions, today you kill me, tomorrow I kill you."
"Hatred continuously perpetuates, eventually evolving into war…"
"Just like a cycle, endlessly repeating."
"No matter how I think about it, I can only come up with four words…"
Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo asked in a deep voice, "Which four words?"
Uchiha Yuzuru's aura erupted, and he said coldly, "Slay to end slay!"
Hatake Sakumo was silent for a moment, then looked at Uchiha Yuzuru seriously and said, "Yuzuru, I understand your intentions."
"From now on, I will follow your orders and establish a new order with you!"
Uchiha Yuzuru patted Hatake Sakumo's shoulder and nodded.
With these words, even if they went to war with Konoha in the future, Hatake Sakumo definitely wouldn't be soft-hearted.
Calming himself, Uchiha Yuzuru turned to look at Hatake Kakashi behind him and suddenly asked, "Kakashi, why is your face red?"
"You didn't happen to see something you shouldn't have just now, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Hatake Kakashi's eyes darted nervously, and he stammered, "I, I, I definitely didn't see anything!"
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled, "But I haven't even said what I was asking about yet…"
"No matter what it is, if I didn't see it, I didn't see it."
Seeing Hatake Kakashi's guilty expression, Uchiha Yuzuru took out a book and quietly slipped it into Hatake Kakashi's hand.
"Be careful when you read it, don't let your father find out."
Hatake Kakashi curiously flipped through a few pages, then immediately hid the book in his embrace.
"Hahahahaha…"
Uchiha Yuzuru laughed several times.
Although there was a suspicion of corrupting a child, interacting with characters from the original work like this was truly interesting.

Kumogakure.
Raikage Building.
Raikage's Office.
The Third Raikage looked at Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Kakashi, asking incredulously, "Yuzuru, you really managed to 'abduct' Hatake Sakumo?"
Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow, "The person is standing right in front of you, can't you see for yourself?"
Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage burst into laughter, patting Uchiha Yuzuru's shoulder vigorously, "Yuzuru, you are the lucky star of our Kumogakure."
Hatake Sakumo's strength was recognized by all ninja villages; even with the Third Raikage's strong personality, he had once reluctantly issued the order to "unconditionally abandon missions if encountering Konoha's White Fang."
Now, such a powerful individual was actually willing to bring his son to join their Kumogakure… it was simply like a dream!
First the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki orphans, and now Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Kakashi… were those guys in Konoha really out of their minds?
Shaking off the thoughts in his head, the Third Raikage said to Hatake Sakumo, "Sakumo, you can settle down in Kumogakure with peace of mind. If anything comes up, just find Yuzuru, or you can find me too."
The Third Raikage's attitude eased Hatake Sakumo's long-held worries.
After all… among the ninjas he had killed, there were quite a few elites from Kumogakure.
After a brief chat, Uchiha Yuzuru and Hatake Sakumo left the Raikage Building.
Walking on the street, Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but say, "Yuzuru, I never imagined you'd have such great authority in Kumogakure."
Just thinking about how the Third Raikage and Uchiha Yuzuru interacted earlier, Hatake Sakumo felt somewhat incredulous.
As an outsider who had sought refuge, it was one thing for the Third Raikage not to discriminate against the Uchiha clan, but he was even calling Uchiha Yuzuru 'brother'… his boisterous manner was completely different from the Kage he knew.
One had to know that while Hiruzen Sarutobi always appeared affable in public, his private demeanor carried a heavy pressure.
Even he often felt the pressure.
If he were to join Konoha as a rogue ninja, he would probably have to go through the interrogation room, wouldn't he?
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly, "People with great power won't care about these trivial details."
"Because they are confident in their ability to control everything."
"And in Kumogakure…" Uchiha Yuzuru pointed to the ninjas in the training ground, "as long as you have enough strength, you can gain their recognition."
Hatake Sakumo looked in the direction Uchiha Yuzuru was pointing and saw many Uchiha clan members.
They were mostly surrounded by Kumogakure ninjas like stars around the moon, and Hatake Sakumo heard that they seemed to be lining up to schedule sparring matches.
Such a scene, even in Konoha, he had never witnessed.
"It seems the Uchiha clan is living very well in Kumogakure…" Seeing Hatake Sakumo's expression, Uchiha Yuzuru proactively explained.
"When our Uchiha clan first arrived in Kumogakure, the clan members initially had the same concerns as you, but later they found that such worries were completely unnecessary."
"Kumogakure's style is to revere strength, and most of their personalities are boisterous and straightforward."
"As long as you have strength and are willing to blend in with them, they are willing to accept you."
"There isn't so much scheming here; you'll live a more relaxed life from now on."
This was also the reason he chose Kumogakure in the first place.
Uchiha clan members were arrogant, but that was directed at those weaker than themselves.
And coincidentally, from the perspective of Kumogakure ninjas, such a personality was perfectly normal. What was wrong with being a bit arrogant if you had strength?
If the weak couldn't even tolerate that, then they should work hard to become stronger!
Coupled with the power of the Sharingan, which made Uchiha ninjas almost invincible in one-on-one combat at similar power levels, it further solidified the Uchiha ninjas' position in the hearts of Kumogakure ninjas.
Moreover, when carrying out missions or fighting enemies, Uchiha ninjas always charged more fiercely than them.
They spoke their minds and didn't like to beat around the bush… So, in just over half a year, the Uchiha clan had already integrated with the Kumogakure ninjas.
Not making friends with an Uchiha ninja would even be met with ridicule.
That's right.
In current Kumogakure, befriending an Uchiha ninja had even become something worth bragging about.
If Uchiha Yuzuru were to summarize it, it would be: leaving the big umbrella of Konoha, only to find that there was no rain outside at all!
Just as Uchiha Yuzuru and Hatake Sakumo were chatting idly, A suddenly appeared before them.
"Hatake Sakumo, fight me! I will personally return the defeat I suffered on the battlefield to you!"
Looking at the battle-hungry A, Hatake Sakumo unconsciously looked at Uchiha Yuzuru.
Uchiha Yuzuru spread his hands, "This guy has always been like this. Either you let him keep provoking you, or you beat him into submission like I did."
As soon as he finished speaking, A retorted, "I wasn't beaten into submission by you; I just temporarily feel that my strength hasn't surpassed yours yet."
Uchiha Yuzuru ignored A and merely added to Hatake Sakumo, "It seems beating him halfway into submission also works."
"…"
