Seeing Karura's nervousness, Uchiha Yuzuru reined in his aura, returning to his gentle demeanor.
He asked curiously, "I remember you have a younger brother, right? Did he come with you?"
Karura's heart skipped a beat.
Had Uchiha Yuzuru already known about this?
She didn't dare to hide anything and could only truthfully say, "Yashamaru is still in Sunagakure."
Uchiha Yuzuru nodded and suddenly asked, "If we face Sunagakure ninjas in the future, will you attack them?"
Karura glanced at Uchiha Yuzuru, remaining silent.
After a while, she said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Please rest assured, I am now a Kumogakure ninja, and I will never do anything to betray Kumogakure."
"Even if they threaten your brother's life?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Karura stood up and, for the first time, plucked up the courage to look Uchiha Yuzuru directly in the eyes: "Lord Yuzuru, are you still planning to attack Sunagakure?"
"Yes," Uchiha Yuzuru had no intention of hiding it and went straight to the point. "I want to unify the entire ninja world, and this is unavoidable."
"Eh?!" Karura's mouth dropped open in shock. "Unify the ninja world? You're not joking, are you?"
"Many people will die that way."
Uchiha Yuzuru said indifferently, "Currently, the ninja world experiences a Great Ninja War every few decades, and countless people die in these wars."
"If the ninja world can be unified, wars will no longer occur."
"Killing is for less killing."
After he finished speaking, seeing Karura still looking like she couldn't accept it, Uchiha Yuzuru didn't continue the discussion.
He simply said, "When you go out on missions with Kushina and the others in the future, you can take a look at the current Land of Lightning."
"If the ninja world is unified, I can mobilize all of its resources."
"Even in barren lands like the Land of Wind and Sunagakure, people will be able to live prosperous lives."
Watching Uchiha Yuzuru's retreating figure, Karura fell into deep thought.
Before coming here, she had thoroughly researched Uchiha Yuzuru's information.
After leading the entire Uchiha clan away from Konoha, he decisively settled in Kumogakure.
He won two wars, demonstrating unparalleled power.
He openly killed a Daimyo, not only getting away with it but also inspiring other countries to follow suit... All these things were enough to show that Uchiha Yuzuru was a person who dared to dream, dared to act, and had the ability to realize his ideas.
Now that he said he wanted to unify the ninja world, it was definitely not an idle boast.
If Uchiha Yuzuru truly put his ideas into action, then even for the future of Sunagakure, should she not make some plans for what was to come?
Karura's thoughts raced, and in the end, she could only forcibly suppress the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
No matter what, Sunagakure had abandoned her, and she would live as a Kumogakure ninja from now on.
As for Sunagakure's affairs, she would help if she could.
If she really couldn't help, then she could only try her best to ensure Yashamaru's safety.
She would have to work hard to prove herself in the future.

Uchiha Yuzuru wasn't too concerned about Karura's inner thoughts.
He believed that after living in Kumogakure for a while, Karura would understand what the correct choice truly was.
Ultimately, she was just a discarded pawn; what loyalty could she truly have to Sunagakure?
After coming out, Uchiha Yuzuru had a meal with Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina.
Both of them were excellent cooks, and the food they prepared was delicious.
During the meal, Uchiha Yuzuru told them about Karura, and Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto had no objections.
After a few days of getting along, they had also sensed Karura's inherent kindness.
Being teammates with such a person was a reassuring thing.
After finishing their meal, Uchiha Mikoto went to wash the dishes, while Uchiha Yuzuru intended to take the opportunity to 'deal with' Uzumaki Kushina.
However, before he could make a move, Uchiha Obito's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Big Brother Yuzuru, I know you're in there, open the door!"
Uchiha Yuzuru opened the door in annoyance and ruffled Uchiha Obito's hair vigorously a few times: "Why aren't you at the ninja academy? What are you doing here?"
Uchiha Obito adjusted his goggles and said with a smile, "Big Brother Yuzuru, the ninja academy is off today."
"I came to ask you for something."
Uchiha Yuzuru asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Teach me ninjutsu!" Uchiha Obito's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. "Big Brother Yuzuru, you don't know, ever since Kakashi went to the ninja academy too, everyone has been ignoring me."
"I want you to teach me some powerful ninjutsu, and then defeat Kakashi in front of everyone!"
As Uchiha Obito finished speaking, Hatake Kakashi's voice came from behind him: "Obito, you're truly despicable."
"Senior Yuzuru, please also teach me some ninjutsu."
Whether it was his father's usual teachings or the stories about Uchiha Yuzuru that had been circulating in the village recently, Hatake Kakashi was filled with admiration for Uchiha Yuzuru.
If Senior Yuzuru personally taught him, his strength would definitely improve further.
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru hadn't even spoken yet when Uchiha Obito became displeased.
He pointed at Hatake Kakashi's nose and said, "I'm Big Brother Yuzuru's little brother, so it's only natural for me to learn ninjutsu from him. Why should Big Brother Yuzuru teach you?"
Hatake Kakashi was stunned for a moment, thinking that Uchiha Obito made a lot of sense.
After thinking for a while, Hatake Kakashi suddenly reached into his embrace and pulled out a book: "Big Brother Yuzuru, this is Jiraiya's latest new work. I'll give it to you."
Uchiha Yuzuru's expression changed. He turned his head to glance at Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto in the courtyard, then put the book away: "Kakashi, don't give me things like this in the future. I read the Spring and Autumn Annals!"
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's righteous expression, Hatake Kakashi scratched his head: "Senior Yuzuru, but you were the one who gave me a copy..."
"I only give these books, I don't read them."
Uchiha Yuzuru interrupted Hatake Kakashi and then walked towards the training ground outside.
"Today, I happen to have some time, so I'll teach you two a secret technique."
"Yay!"
Uchiha Obito jumped up happily, and Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little excited, quickly following him.
Seeing the two of them, Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Under his influence, the entire ninja world had completely deviated from the original plot's trajectory.
Although his plan was slowly being completed, he also lacked some foresight, which had both advantages and disadvantages.
In the future, he still had to work hard to improve his own strength.
As Uchiha Yuzuru was pondering, Uchiha Obito excitedly asked from behind, "Big Brother Yuzuru, what secret technique are you going to teach us?"
Uchiha Yuzuru didn't turn his head and said indifferently, "Chidori and Rasengan."
