Take Konoha's White Fang, Sakumo Hatake, Kakashi's father and former leader of the Anbu. A Kage-level ninja so powerful and accomplished that he threatened the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule, and Danzo Shimura's position. Rumors and public pressure drove him to take his own life.
Then there's Shisui Uchiha, a genius of the Uchiha clan. With his Mangekyo Sharingan, he had Kage-level combat prowess—especially with his terrifying ability, Kotoamatsukami. Tragically, this prodigy fell to Danzo's ambush, with one of his eyes stolen.
Itachi Uchiha, turned into a blade for Konoha's higher-ups, slaughtered his clan and defected from the village. Sure, he was heavily brainwashed and lost much of his humanity, but there's no denying he was a Kage-level powerhouse.
And don't forget Hizashi Hyuga, Neji's father and leader of the Hyuga branch family. His strength likely rivaled his brother Hiashi's, yet his death was almost laughably tragic. The Third Hokage's weak leadership cost Konoha another great ninja.
Then there's Tsunade, who left the village in despair. Orochimaru, who defected after his human experiments were exposed. Jiraiya, wandering the ninja world in search of his friend and the prophesied child. And Fugaku Uchiha, the clan leader from the same era as Minato Namikaze, who likely awakened his own Mangekyo Sharingan.
All of these people were either near Kage-level or outright Kage-level in strength. Yet they're either dead or gone. And let's not forget the Uchiha clan's annihilation—Konoha's top combat force, wiped out.
Looking back, it's hard to say the Third Hokage and Danzo did much good for the village…

Hirofumi Ito's thoughts wandered. He'd meant to talk about giving Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki a surprise, but his mind drifted to Konoha's fallen heroes.
After hearing Hirofumi's words, Sasuke and Naruto fell silent. Despite their quirky personalities, they weren't idiots. They could tell Hirofumi wasn't just talking about getting stronger with money. The real surprise—the secret he hinted at—was something big. If it got out, it could bring Hirofumi a ton of trouble.
Sasuke didn't press for details. Instead, he stood up and walked into his room. Moments later, he returned lugging a huge chest.
"Hirofumi, whatever you're planning, I trust you," Sasuke said. "I'm looking forward to this surprise you mentioned. I inherited the Uchiha clan's entire fortune, but the most valuable parts are the land and buildings. In terms of cash, this is all I've got—five hundred million ryō! I kept a bit for daily expenses, but you can have all of this. The estate and buildings could probably fetch another five or six hundred million if sold. And there are some ninjutsu scrolls that could bring in more cash. If you need it…"
Sasuke trailed off, implying he'd sell the estate or scrolls if Hirofumi asked.
But Hirofumi cut him off. "That's enough, Sasuke! I didn't expect you to trust me this much…"
Hirofumi was genuinely moved. Sasuke was willing to sell off the Uchiha clan's legacy for him? If Hirofumi didn't repay that trust by giving Sasuke a perfect family in the future, he'd never forgive himself. He also vowed to do everything he could to change the tragic events looming ahead.
"What're you talking about? We're friends, aren't we?" Sasuke said, striking a cocky pose. "Besides, I don't need all this money. A couple hundred million for pocket change is plenty."
"Don't worry, Sasuke!" Hirofumi grinned. "I'll make sure you get a huge surprise in the future. I know what your goal is, and I know the pain you carry."
Sasuke assumed Hirofumi meant helping him get revenge. "No need. I'll handle my revenge myself. That man… I'll kill him with my own hands."
"No, that's not what I meant," Hirofumi clarified. "I believe you'll get your revenge, but I'm talking about something else. It's too early to get into it now, but trust me, you and Naruto will find out soon enough. It won't take long!"
Staring at the chest overflowing with ryō, Hirofumi's heart raced. With five hundred million as startup funds, he could summon five Kage-level ninjas! And the best part? He could extract one ability from each of them.
Sure, he could opt to summon fifty elite jonin instead, but five Kage-level ninjas were the better deal. Elite jonin were strong, but even a hundred of them couldn't take on five Kage-level powerhouses. Someone like Uchiha Madara could wipe out fifty elite jonin without breaking a sweat. And if Hirofumi could summon Hashirama Senju? That'd be the jackpot.
After finishing his talk with Sasuke and Naruto, Hirofumi placed his hand on the chest of ryō.
"System! I want to recharge!"
[Detected: 500 million ryō. Recharge all?]
"Yes!"
[Recharge successful! Congratulations, host, for gaining 500 million wealth points!]
[Summoning System
Host: Hirofumi Ito
Wealth Points: 500,000,000

"System! Use the 500 million wealth points to exchange for five gold summons!"
[Congratulations, host! Exchange successful! Gold summons increased by five!]
Hirofumi watched as his panel updated—the 500 million wealth points vanished, and the gold summons count jumped from zero to five. He could now summon five Kage-level ninjas.
Sasuke and Naruto's eyes widened in shock.
"The money… all that money… it's gone!" Naruto shouted, grabbing the chest and shaking it. Not a single ryō remained inside.
