My name is Uchiha Cang. I was once Konoha's brightest genius, but I was made a scapegoat by the higher-ups in a conspiracy. The moment Minato Namikaze's kunai pierced my chest, I felt no anger, only complete clarity. If this rotten Konoha has no place for me, then there is no reason for this so-called “Will of Fire” to continue existing. After faking my death and escaping, I resolutely crossed the border and knocked on the gates of Iwagakure, carrying all my cunning and ambition with me. Thus began my very own era as the mastermind behind the scenes.
Faced with the astonishing bargaining chip I offered, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, displayed the mettle of a top-tier politician. He overruled all objections and poured the village's resources and highest-level ninjutsu archives into my hands without reservation, even entrusting me with the hopes of the entire village's rise. With the foundation of a great nation as my base, I pulled the strings from behind the scenes. Not only did I turn the unruly Deidara into a fanatical follower, I also devised a terrifying system of tactics that crushed the opposition with overwhelming superiority. When the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out ahead of schedule, I led Iwagakure's army, armed to the teeth, as it smashed through Konoha's gates. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo knelt in despair amid the ruins, while I merely looked down at them and sneered, telling them that the reckoning had only just begun.
