Chapter 81

Daimyo: Appointing Junichi Uchiha as the Fifth Hokage!

"Yes." The attendant withdrew.

Soon, after being thoroughly examined and confirmed to be free of poison or other traps, a letter was delivered to the daimyo.

The lord glanced at the sealing wax, and after confirming that the envelope was intact, he opened it.

There was only a thin piece of paper inside.

There were only a few lines of text written on the paper.

—The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

—The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

—The Third Hokage, disciple of Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

—The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

—The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade?

—The current head of the Uchiha clan, Junichi Uchiha.

……

「!?」

Daming's eyes narrowed immediately.

"Your Highness?" the attendant asked anxiously.

"It's nothing." Daiming closed the paper, his expression calm, but inwardly he was in turmoil.

He understood what the Uchiha clan meant.

Konoha Village has become the Konoha of the Senju!

This wasn't a big problem. The Senju clan founded Konoha, so naturally they could hold the position of Hokage and pass it down from generation to generation.

Just like in the Land of Fire, the positions of daimyo and court nobles are passed down from generation to generation internally.

But the problem is, this is a thousand hands.

Ever since Hashirama Senju, these guys have been yearning for unrealistic ideals of peace and have disregarded his name in many matters.

The one-country-one-village system gradually degenerated into a state-within-a-state system.

Faced with a hidden village that disobeys orders, is uncontrollable, and even does not identify with the daimyo but identifies with the so-called Will of Fire, the daimyo feels as if he has a fishbone stuck in his throat.

He also has to hold his nose and provide huge amounts of military funding every year.

"interesting……"

The daimyo tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, his expression thoughtful: "I've always heard that the Uchiha are naturally arrogant, look down on others, and are often played for fools."

"I never expected that the current Uchiha clan leader would have such foresight?"

"They saw right through my worries!"

"No wonder Hiruzen Sarutobi and the elders were both defeated..."

Daiming fell into deep thought.

He knew about the coup that had occurred in Konoha Village a month ago.

Such a commotion couldn't be hidden.

One of his guardian ninjas, Sarutobi Asuma, even asked him to intervene and stop the Uchiha.

But he refused.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is very good at dodging and weaving away his requests.

The name was filled with disgust.

Eight years ago, if it weren't for the fact that it didn't matter who was chosen, he wouldn't have agreed to Hiruzen Sarutobi returning to the Hokage position.

"If the Uchiha want to fight, then I'll go along with it." The Daimyo suddenly laughed. "The fiercer you fight, the better."

The Thousand Hands faction is still too powerful.

He wanted to find a balance.

"Someone come here!"

The daimyo immediately shouted, "Bring me my seal and imperial edict! I want to issue a decree to appoint the Fifth Hokage!"

The attendant, who had been keeping a low profile, bowed and acknowledged the order, then withdrew with a look of surprise on his face.

soon.

A blank imperial edict was taken over.

With a smile on his face, the lord personally picked up the pen and wrote the words, then affixed his official seal.

"Give it to that Uchiha ninja; he knows what to do." The daimyo dried the imperial edict and handed it to his attendant.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The attendant quickly sealed the document and left with the imperial edict.

"At tomorrow's court assembly, I will announce this matter to my ministers," the daimyo said. "Have the Ministry of Internal Affairs select someone to represent me and present a gift to the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."

"Yes, Your Highness." Another attendant noted this down.

……

……

The next day.

As soon as I woke up, I stretched my muscles and bones.

clap clap clap!

With a crisp sound, his body seemed to awaken like a beast, his heart pounding powerfully, pumping out large amounts of blood with each beat.

In the sunlight.

He has a tall and slender build, with streamlined muscles that exude explosive power.

He resembled a leopard, exuding a dangerous aura.

Good morning, clan leader.

Elder Xiongji came to visit early in the morning, his face full of excitement, and presented a bright yellow edict with both hands.

"The daimyo's edict was delivered last night!"

"Really?" Junichi smiled, took it, and opened it to take a look.

As expected, he was appointed as the Fifth Hokage.

This result was exactly what he expected.

Back then, Hashirama Senju, with his unparalleled strength in the ninja world, earned the title of God of Shinobi, and even his granddaughter was bestowed the title of "Princess" by the daimyo.

Therefore, Tsunade is also respectfully called Tsunade-hime.

The suffix "姬" (hime) in ancient Japanese specifically referred to a princess.

However, ninjas were considered lowly by the nobility.

A lowly ninja possessed earth-shattering power, changed the world order, and spearheaded the establishment of a one-country-one-village system.

If you were a daimyo, what would you think?

It would be strange if I didn't have any ideas!

How can I allow others to snore in my own bed?

The one who hates Hashirama Senju the most is definitely the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

This is human nature.

"Chieftain!"

Just then, another member of the tribe ran over quickly.

"Chieftain..."

The clansman first bowed, catching his breath, before speaking: "The village's Jonin have suddenly decided to hold a meeting of all Jonin!"

"They want you, Chieftain, to participate!"

"They even said they'd vote on the Fifth Hokage at the meeting!"

Upon hearing this...

Zhun-yi immediately smiled, waved the imperial edict in his hand, and looked at Elder Xiong-ji: "What a coincidence."

Elder Xiongji smiled as well: "They would never have guessed that you, the clan leader, had arranged everything all along."

"Haha, let's go, Elder Xiongji, let's go attend this meeting of all Jonin." Junichi took the imperial edict and went out with a smile.

Elder Xiongji followed with a smile.

Only the clansmen who came to report were completely baffled.

This edict was sent back directly last night through the reverse spirit communication of the Ninja Cat Clan.

Few people in the clan knew about it.

……

……

Konoha Auditorium.

A large group of Jonin gathered here.

The group talked excitedly.

"It's Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama!"

"Great, they're back!"

"Finally, I can escape the shadow of the Uchiha clan."

"That prospective clan leader is too ruthless."

"Yes, we can't let such a ruthless person become Hokage."

"This is not in accordance with the Will of Fire!"

Voices could be heard from all directions.

All eyes frequently fell on the two people at the very front of the crowd.

Especially Tsunade.

They had received hints that the Fifth Hokage would be Tsunade.

However, Tsunade had never handled or presided over political affairs before, so she definitely needed help. But the "person" who was supposed to help was lying in the hospital.

Or suffer the ultimate humiliation in the dungeon.

Because of Sarutobi's situation, the Nara clan closed their doors to visitors and gave up their positions as advisors.

This means the high-level positions are vacant!

Everyone understood the significance of it, and longing gazes were fixed on Tsunade's retreating figure.

Tsunade is their path to heaven!

"Wow, it's so lively here."

Suddenly, a young voice rang out in the auditorium.

All sounds of communication disappeared.

Everyone squinted, watching with apprehension the black-haired young man who walked in through the door.

Uchiha is accurate!
