Shortly after the Three Kage Summit Meeting, the border of the Land of Fire came under simultaneous attacks from the Lands of Lightning, Earth, and Water.
However, Konoha had already anticipated this.
Moreover... with cooperation from Sunagakure ninja, they achieved considerable battlefield success.
Poison and puppets inflicted heavy casualties on Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Mist Village forces alike.
Many ninja cursed loudly at this situation.
They accused Suna's ninja of lacking backbone, calling them a group of traitors who had forgotten their ancestors.
They accused Suna's ninja of failing to resist invasion — instead of fighting back, the so-called victims were actually aiding the aggressors...
Regarding this, Suna's ninja scoffed contemptuously.
Although it hadn't been long since the merger between the Lands of Fire and Wind, they'd already experienced its benefits.
With full support from the Land of Fire, infrastructure in the Land of Wind improved significantly.
Especially in Sunagakure — it was practically transformed completely.
Ninja incomes soared, and missions became increasingly safer...
One could say the overall happiness of the people in the Land of Wind had significantly improved.
And in the foreseeable future, their lives would only keep getting better and better.
Under such circumstances, whoever tried to disrupt this status quo would become their mortal enemy!
Therefore, in battlefields, Suna ninja often fought with greater determination than Konoha ninja...

In Konoha Village.
Hokage's Tower.
Hokage's Office.
Uchiha Mirai sat comfortably in an office chair, facing a desk piled high with mountains of paperwork.
On either side of the desk stood Minato Namikaze, Shikaku Nara, Hiashi Hyūga, Tsunade, Kushina Uzumaki, and others.
Except for Mirai Uchiha, everyone else wore serious expressions ready for battle.
Minato Namikaze spoke first: "Mirai, with Kumogakure, Mist, and Iwagakure declaring war against us simultaneously, to stabilize the situation, I think we should deploy Anbu to the battlefield as well."
Kushina Uzumaki followed up: "Even though I've lost the Nine-Tails, I can still help somewhat."
Hiashi Hyūga solemnly said: "Lord Hokage, the Hyūga Clan is willing to go through fire and water for the village!"
Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, Tsume Inuzuka, Shibi Aburame, and others successively offered suggestions.
Everyone eagerly discussed defense strategies and tactical responses.
After a while, they seemed to suddenly remember Mirai Uchiha's presence, turning their gazes toward her, already slightly dozing off.
Minato asked: "Mirai, what do you think about our discussion just now?"
Mirai Uchiha groggily blinked her eyes open and stretched lazily: "I think there's no need to discuss all this nonsense."
"Leave the war to me. I'll handle it."
"Just like back when we fought Sand, there's really no need to worry so much."
When Mirai Uchiha spoke, everyone was taken aback and turned their eyes toward him.
Did Mirai mean...
He would face the three strongest ninja villages in the Ninja World alone?
This...
It sounded absurd, but upon further thought, perhaps it wasn't impossible after all.
After all, Mirai's strength truly defies all logic.
"Alright, you guys don't need to worry about the war anymore."
"The Fourth Great Ninja World War? I'm enough for that by myself."
With a wave of Mirai Uchiha's hand, the seemingly important meeting came to a dramatic end.
Only after Mirai left the Hokage's Office did Minato Namikaze and the others gradually regain their senses.
They exchanged glances, their faces filled with complex emotions.
They felt something entirely different from what they experienced when Hiruzen Sarutobi was still Hokage.
If today's Hokage were still Hiruzen, let alone facing other ninja villages alone,
Even getting him onto the battlefield would probably be impossible.
He would surely give another impassioned speech about the Will of Fire, then sit back and watch them fight on the Frontline.
Shikaku Nara couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Having such a Hokage really puts our minds at ease."
Since Mirai Uchiha took power, he felt his brain might actually gather dust from disuse.
No matter what situation arose, overwhelming strength could simply plow through anything.
Strategies, plans... none of it needed consideration anymore.
Minato Namikaze, Hiashi Hyuga, and others also wore expressions of deep admiration.
Now that's what a true Hokage should be!
What reason could they possibly have not to devote their lives to following someone like this?

Land of Lightning.
Kumogakure.
In a lake nestled among mountain ranges surrounded by cliffs,
A figure resembling lightning dashed forward—Fourth Raikage A had arrived.
Meanwhile, Killer B, rapping while holding a pencil and notebook, began humming cheerfully with animated dance moves:
"My brother suddenly appears, escape plan doomed again; running away looks weak, standing ground means battle intense—but this time I'll make my brother's legs tremble!"
"Gogyā Gurugyā~"
Seeing Killer B assume an attacking stance, A scoffed coldly, "B, I didn't come here to cause trouble this time."
B blinked in confusion, scratching his head in bewilderment: "Eh?"
A exhaled deeply, his voice grave: "Mirai Uchiha has launched The Fourth Great Ninja World War, and our Kumogakure is one of his targets."
"
"To protect the village, I've decided to release you from the Raiko Ravine."
After saying that, A raised his fist. "Aniki, let's fight side by side like we used to."
B was taken aback for a moment, then extended both middle fingers in a mocking gesture. "Aniki, your angry exterior hides a coward's heart, trembling in fear of Mirai Uchiha. I suggest we throw in the towel to avoid being secretly mocked by others."
A vein twitched on A's forehead. He smacked B's back of the head. "Will you just answer yes or no?"
B's fist met A's fist. "Aniki, I've been waiting for this day a long time."
Seeing the smile on B's face, A paused for a moment.
Memories of their once unspoken understanding resurfaced.
After a while, A smiled slightly. "Then let us kill Mirai Uchiha together!"
———
Kumogakure.
Above the village.
Mirai Uchiha's figure slowly appeared above, looking down at the densely packed Cloud ninja below with a slight smile on his face.
These were all walking sources of attribute points!
Just then, the Cloud ninja also noticed his presence, and chaos immediately broke out below.
"Quick, look! Who is that guy up there?"
"Intruder alert! We have an intruder! Hurry and notify Raikage immediately!"
"It must be Mirai Uchiha. Only he has the ability to fly..."
"Evacuate the villagers! Make them take shelter underground!"
Mirai Uchiha coldly watched the panicked Cloud ninja scrambling below, gradually revealing his will.
"My name is Mirai Uchiha."
"You have one minute to decide: surrender or..."
"DIE!"
