[To my dearest friend Asuma]

[Be wary of the clan-based, aristocratic control of the village's defenses... As far as I know, both the Konoha Military Police Force and the Konoha Guard Force, their external and internal authority, have fallen into the hands of the Hokage advisor, Gojo Kaigetsu...]

[He has also established his own personal guard. The entire village's defense is practically monopolized by Gojo Kaigetsu, placing the safety of the village in the hands of a single individual. This is extremely dangerous...]

Chiriku stopped writing, seething with anger. After a moment of thought, he added two more lines:

[Today, I bid farewell to the village to journey to the Daimyo's estate to participate in the selection process for the Twelve Guardian Ninja. The dark forces at play within the village bring tears to my eyes, and I scarcely know what to say.]

[I only hope that the village will prosper in the future and that its systems will be further improved.]

Chiriku set down his pen and placed the letter in an envelope.

He had prepared two letters for this journey. One was intended for Elder Danzo, and the other for his close friend, Asuma.

Today's selection process had thoroughly disheartened him.

He had believed the Uchiha clan genuinely desired change, but it turned out they were merely consolidating power within their own clan.

Out of over two hundred Konoha ninja applicants, only ten were accepted

Chiriku saw through the Uchiha's scheme.

He had heard that after he stormed out, one of the Sharingan-wielding ninja summoned a ninken to register for the position...

The esteemed Uchiha clan, the esteemed Hokage advisor, were openly engaging in nepotism and corruption... The village had fallen into the clutches of dark forces.

Commoners like him, without background or Kekkei Genkai, had no chance of advancement and could only leave the village to participate in the selection process for the Daimyo's personal guard.

As for the village's future, it could only be left to people like Elder Danzo and Asuma, those with influential connections, to change it.

"Sigh..."

With a heavy sigh, Chiriku packed his belongings.

Gazing through the window at the myriad lights of the village, he fell into deep thought.

'Does such a village even need to exist? Why do we need a Hokage? Why not have the Daimyo establish a specialized organization to govern the village? The Hokage is unnecessary; the true power of the ninja should reside with the Fire Daimyo...'

...

"Extra! Extra! 'Konoha's War Shinobi' is now playing!"

"Watch now and get a chance to win a temporary Konoha Green Card!"

The winds of "Konoha's War Shinobi" finally reached the shinobi world. Paved by the Land of Fire's cash, nations big and small opened their arms (or legs, as the original text suggests), allowing the Will of Fire to infiltrate their minds.

"Konoha's War Shinobi" premiered in Konoha and would be simultaneously released across the Four Great Nations in the following days.

Of course, there were places untouched by Konoha's influence.
