Naruto the Genius

Chapter 269 Actively Prepare for War
As soon as he took the position of daimyo, Naruto played a trick of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Looking at the trembling courtiers below, Naruto smiled and said, "I have just become a daimyo. Even I cannot say for sure that I can be a good daimyo, let alone you. As long as you promise not to have any second thoughts in the future, I can forgive you for the past."

As soon as Naruto said this, everyone below breathed a sigh of relief. The methods Naruto had demonstrated before were too terrible, and no one could guarantee that they would pass. In fact, Naruto was also very clear that if everyone was caught, it would only backfire. As long as he dealt with a few leaders and showed his own methods at the same time, it would have a great deterrent effect on the rest. Not pursuing their previous affairs was also a certain grace.

In the final analysis, as long as the political situation is stable, the Daimyo does not need to do so much. Naruto will not do everything himself, and many things can be safely handed over to his subordinates. Because, for these ordinary people, the Sharingan is simply cheating, so they dare not have any thoughts of disloyalty. As long as this point is excluded, there are still many capable people in the Land of Fire.

Not long after other countries received the news that the Fire Country's Daimyo was killed, they discovered that the Fire Country was on the right track at an incredible speed. They had originally wanted to use this opportunity to do something, but now they had to give up. In general, Naruto became the biggest beneficiary of this incident, and he became the Daimyo of the Fire Country at a very small price.

With this identity, Naruto can do things much more conveniently. He can do whatever he wants in the Land of Fire. Even if Konoha Village wants Naruto to complete some tasks, the format is completely different from before. Before, it was just arranging tasks, but now it has to ask the daimyo for help. Tsunade's change in attitude made Naruto a little embarrassed. She repeatedly emphasized that in Konoha, just call the name.

Although the internal situation was temporarily stable, there were still many crises from the outside. Shortly after the Five Kage Summit, Konoha received a message: "The Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Water have united to form a ninja coalition." This matter was expected, but it was unexpected that it would happen so quickly. Konoha was fine, after all, it had fought one against three in the previous battle and did not suffer any losses.

However, the Sand Country was completely panicked. The country was weak to begin with, and now that they were united, the Sand Country would definitely be in extreme danger. Even if the daimyo of the Sand Country was a bit of an idiot, he knew the seriousness of the matter and soon came to Naruto to discuss the matter of the coalition. For Konoha, while dealing with Akatsuki, they also had to deal with the other three major countries, and the situation was not optimistic, so Naruto agreed to form a coalition with the Sand Country.

On the second day after the two countries formed the coalition, the leader of the Iron Country, Mifune, also came to Konoha. Tsunade, as the Hokage, met him directly. Naruto, the Daimyo, also happened to be with Tsunade. As soon as Mifune met, after a simple greeting, he said directly: "Hokage and Daimyo, we, the Iron Country, hope to join your Konoha camp." Tsunade did not agree to him immediately, but asked him: "Why? Why do you want to join forces with our Konoha?"

Mifune said: "Akatsuki's plan is too terrible. If they are allowed to complete it, it will be a disaster for the whole world. It is such a critical moment, and those guys are still arguing over personal grudges. In the end, I am afraid that only Konoha can resist Akatsuki. Although this is a matter of the ninja world, as samurai, we cannot sit idly by."

Tsunade said, "In that case, I have no objection. You can see what the Daimyo says." Mifune looked at Naruto and said, "I never thought that you would become the Daimyo of the Land of Fire so soon. Congratulations, Naruto. No ninja has ever served as the Daimyo of a big country. You are the first." Naruto said, "The main reason why I became the Daimyo is for the peace and stability of the Land of Fire. I agree with the idea of ​​forming a coalition."

Mifune said: "In that case, we will form an alliance with the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, and the Hokage will be the leader." Tsunade said: "At the Five Kage Conference before, it was just because the words of the Raikage were a bit too much. In fact, I am more than sure that I can be a good leader. This matter is still to be discussed." Mifune said: "I have discussed with the Kazekage before, and it is most appropriate for you to be the leader. At this critical moment, I hope you, Hokage, will not refuse!"

Naruto said, "In that case, Lord Hokage, just agree to it. The entire Fire Nation will fully support you." Seeing that Naruto and Mifune said so, Tsunade nodded and said, "In that case, I agree to become the leader of the coalition. However, I also hope to get your full support." Mifune nodded and said, "Don't worry, both I and the Kazekage will fully support you. If the Hokage has no other opinions, then let's settle the matter first, and we will discuss the battle plan later." Tsunade also nodded in agreement.

A few days later, a command post was set up in Konoha to command this war. In addition to the Hokage and the Kazekage, the intelligence team composed of members of the Yamanaka clan and the think tank composed of ninjas who are good at command, such as Shikaku, were responsible for commanding here. However, at this time, Naruto had no intention of using the power of Chunlai Villa, in case it aroused suspicion.

While Konoha was preparing, Kumogakure and their coalition were also preparing, but the Raikage was the leader. Even though they were united, they were still not the focus of Naruto's attention. What Naruto was most concerned about was the movements of Akatsuki. If nothing unexpected happened, the masked man was already producing a large number of White Zetsu, and it was estimated that the number of trees had reached an astonishing level.

Just as Naruto guessed, the masked man had already started to create the Outer Path Statue since the declaration of war. The masked man was actively preparing for the battle, and a man in a robe appeared in front of him. It was Kabuto Yakushi who already possessed the power of Orochimaru. Seeing this man, the masked man was not very happy. While preparing for the battle, he asked, "How did you find this place?"

Kabuto Yakushi said, "As a subordinate of Orochimaru, I once joined Akatsuki. Moreover, I once served as a spy for Akatsuki and lurked on Orochimaru's side. For a spy like me, finding a base is not a difficult task." The masked man said, "As a traitor of Akatsuki, why are you here?" As soon as they met, the atmosphere between them had become extremely tense.
