It doesn't sound like such a fundamental change but when you realize the authority and power individual villages and the clans leading them have had over the series, it's a big deal. The daimyo may fund the villages but the villages and their shinobi have all the power and events like the Konoha Crush as well as events where members of the Akatsuki take down entire countries by themselves despite being a small group show how dangerous shinobi generally are left uncontrolled as a whole. They are disparate and often at odds, at sometimes their battles like with Fourth Shinobi World War reach apocalyptic levels. I want a villain who wants to put a stop to all that using the very authority that shinobi like to ignore in favor of power.
