Danzo Shimura.
In Shinra's mind, without a doubt, if there was a reason why the Uchiha Clan was destroyed, it was all due to this bastard.
Using his status as one of the elders of the Konoha Village, Danzo kept hunting those powerful ninjas in the Konoha Village like a rabid dog. As long as one had the possibility to become a Hokage, he would destroy that someone as if he wouldn't allow any existence that was so powerful in the village, making this village become weaker and weaker.
Meanwhile, Sarutobi, the Hokage and also the leader of this village, due to Danzo's relationship with him, acquiesced to all that Danzo had done as if he had no choice before he let out a helpless sigh, then blamed himself for being unable to do anything until everyone felt bad for him for blaming himself, and then once again maintained his pure and kind image.
The two of them were villains, but Sarutobi was smarter as he was like those politicians, who could package himself as the righteous and just despite all the vile things that he had done.
Still, Shinra also knew that the Uchiha Clan members also couldn't be called good people, especially when they were all overbearing and looked down on the weak. Their faces were so arrogant, and they always appeared haughty. Moreover, he knew well that all of them had mental disorders, which made it hard for them to integrate into the village.
As leaders, they definitely weren't good, but as soldiers, Shinra knew that they were perfect.
Regardless, no matter how bad the Uchiha Clan members were, not every one of them was evil.
Like any other humans, some were bad, but some were good.
How could they even massacre the children, too, and take out their eyes?
Yes, for the higher-ups, especially for the Hokage and Elders, the Uchiha Clan was a trouble, but even so, there must be other ways to solve this problem instead of extinction.
So, Shinra knew well that there must be another way for his revenge instead of killing everyone in this village. Frankly, if he wanted to, he could easily erase this village from the world.
While the Konoha Village might be known as the strongest ninja village in the world, it was just a village within the Land of Fire.
Within the vast territory of the Land of Fire, the Konoha Village was just a small part of the territory.
"In the end, it is a problem of mindset."
After a ninja gained their power, instead of using it for production purposes that would benefit humanity, they became weapons, and relied on the commissions given by the one who hired them to live.
Had any of them thought there was a better way to live?
Or, did they think that living as weapons was more fulfilling?
Or was it part of a conspiracy so that all ninjas would kill each other and die quickly instead of living a long life?
Regardless, Shinra walked around Konoha Village with ease without fearing anything, especially since it had been a while since he had been in this village, and he had to say, after living in the world of Kengan and the world of Naruto, this village seemed so cramped.
Frankly, his action was reckless, especially when there were barriers that surrounded the village, reminding the ninja that intruders had come, but for him, it didn't really matter, especially since this barrier was as good as nothing, as many enemies often passed the village without being noticed.
Nevertheless, as he had left the mark with the Mato Mato no Mi, he wasn't in a hurry to chase after those ninjas who dressed like an Anbu since he knew that it would take a while for them to return to the place that he had been waiting for.
Yes, instead of an Anbu, a direct special squad directly under the Hokage, those people came from the Root, the special squad that worked in the dark and worked under Danzo directly, the one who had caused the death of all members of the Uchiha Clan except for Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.
When Shinra thought of this man, he felt that this man was a coward since even if Danzo often said that all ninjas should sacrifice themselves for the village, when it was his turn to sacrifice himself, he would just run away.
In this village, despite being a bastard, many people would cry if Sarutobi passed away, but what if it were Danzo?
Many people would laugh happily, and because of this, Shinra knew that he shouldn't become the villain.
No matter how shitty this village was, without a doubt, it was the first attempt for the ninja to stop their war and end their cycle of hatred by joining together to form a village. While the shape wasn't perfect, since they still relied on the commissions and thought of themselves as nothing but tools for the masters of this land to strengthen their rule, he knew that no one was perfect.
Yet, even if he wanted to have revenge, he couldn't become the villain.
Yes, he had to be on the side of justice and righteousness, just as Sarutobi could do many vile things, yet be seen as a saint.
Shinra knew what he should aim for instead of living like Danzo, Itachi, Obito, and many other villains, who could only hide in gutters like dirty rats.
More importantly, why should ninjas be living in the dark instead of basking in the sun under the glory?
Why were only the nobles, daimyos, and wealthy groups able to live in peace without being afraid of war, yet the ninjas still became tools to fight for their interests?
Regardless, Shinra knew that instead of killing everyone for his revenge, he should think more deeply, in a more roundway bout way, especially when he felt that it was just a shame to kill all of them.
The value of all the people in this village and even the world was immense!
Whether it was ninjas or normal people, they could become his laborers, workers, or even slaves. When they die, they could become nutrients for the earth, or they could just sell their organs.
Yes, Shinra wouldn't be as wasteful as the World Government, which would just kill people for fun.
People are resources.
Instead of wasting them for fun, they should be used in more beneficial ways, like how capitalists squeezed the value of someone till they no longer had any value.
The best way to get revenge in this village was to do what he had always done, and that was to colonize this world.
"Did Mangkyou Sharingan cause me to think so extreme like this?"
Well, at least, his methods were far better than Itachi, who killed all of his family members, Danzo, who wanted to make all the ninjas in this village as weapons, or Obito, who just wanted to escape from reality.
At least, in his methods, some people could get their happiness and hope.
"Well, if that's the case, everything is clear."
When he thought so, he also knew what kind of methods he should use, and that method was—
"I have to become the Hokage!"
With that thought, he changed his plan to kill Danzo since there were better ways for him to use this bastard.
Like Sarutobi, who could control this village as if it were his own, by using Danzo.
If Sarutobi could use Danzo, then why couldn't Shinra do the same?
