Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 133 Tsunade is the best choice
In a secret room in the capital of the Fire Nation, Miyashiro En handed the information about Konoha's actions to several people present.

Seeing the sweat gradually dripping down their foreheads, he couldn't help but pick up the teacup beside him and take a sip, smiling slightly, "Are you all ready?"

"This……"

These little nobles of the Fire Nation hesitated and looked at each other for a moment. One of them wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed helplessly.

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice."

……

Tsunade stared at the daimyo's corpse indifferently, listening to the shouts of killing and the angry rebukes of the daimyo's mansion guardian ninja, and all kinds of thoughts kept emerging in her mind.

Does she really not understand these things?
She understands...

With the death of the Fourth Hokage, it is impossible for the Fire Nation and Konoha to reconcile. The contradiction has emerged, and the future will be a superficial unity.

Maintaining stability is useless. Here in the Fire Nation, the one country, one village system can no longer be maintained.

Konoha needs an explanation, and this explanation requires the daimyo to pay with his life.

And the person who can do this is only her, and only her.

Only with her identity can she quickly unify the Land of Fire after killing the Daimyo.

No one else can do it...so, this responsibility must be shouldered by her!

Thinking of this, Tsunade looked at the sky covered with dark clouds and whispered: "From now on, there will be no distinction between Hokage and Daimyo in this country. I am Hokage, and also... Daimyo!"

Deep within Daming Prefecture, several figures stood in a sea of ​​corpses and blood, listening to the faint shouting and screaming coming from afar, with complicated expressions on their faces.

"Among the five great nations, the Fire Nation is the most special. It is the birthplace of the one-nation-one-village system. Logically speaking, the maintenance of the system here is the strongest among all the great nations."

A ninja walked out from the darkness and said in a low voice:

"However, my brother's existence provides a buffer between Konoha and the Land of Fire."

That person is Tsunade.

If she becomes Hokage, everyone in Konoha will recognize her.

Apart from the vested interests, most people in the Land of Fire would not object to her becoming a daimyo.

Because she is the descendant of the person who created the one country, one village system, and is the granddaughter of the God of Ninja, her special political status allows her to take over the positions of Hokage and Daimyo at the same time!
She is the best choice, the best candidate for the transition from the one country one village system to the next system!
So when Tsunade chose to confront the daimyo and take a stand against the system, Shikaku and other ninjas did not stop her, nor could they stop her. They could only start making preparations secretly.

"Tsunade can't have children, and the position of Daimyo will not be passed down through blood. Then the inheritance of the position of Daimyo will probably be similar to that of Hokage. It may even pay more attention to the opinions of the people than the position of Hokage. Only those who are recognized by everyone can take up the position."

Senju Tobirama sighed in a complicated manner.

"Her ascension to the throne will allow the daimyo's inheritance to be changed directly from bloodline to election."

And at that time, the people who were looking at the Daimyo were people from a country, not just a village in Konoha.

Therefore, when electing a daimyo, it is even more important to take into account opinions from all sides.

And there is the precedent of Tsunade overthrowing the daimyo. If the daimyo in the future makes the wrong choice and turns out to be a "tyrant" who commits all kinds of evil, his fate can be imagined.

Among the group of ninjas, Wu had a complicated expression, "Is this the system that Hinata Yu wanted? The supreme ruler of the country is not hereditary, but elected by the people. At the same time, through this military coup, tell the future rulers that other powers can be appropriately let go, but the military power must be in their own hands!"

"Maybe." Senju Tobirama sighed, "Many people always put Tsunade in the position of maintaining the one country, one village system, but Hinata Yu did not, so the situation has come to this point under my nose."

He guessed that Hinata Yu would use his own and the Fourth Hokage's death to ignite the conflict, but at first he only thought that Hinata Yu wanted to make the conflict between Konoha and the Fire Country more prominent and let the situation reach this point in the future. He didn't expect that the other party would do it in one go.

In fact, Tsunade's performance did not seem like the backup plan that Hinata Yu had prepared.

A person who spends all day in the casino, a granddaughter who would be a loser in his mind as a Hokage, turned out to be Hinata Yu's ultimate weapon to destroy the one country, one village system, and the future "empress" of this country... He had never thought about it before. Tsunade's performance was too deceptive, and he didn't expect that she would take over these responsibilities in the end.

"Your granddaughter didn't have any real power before, right?"

Gui Deng Huan Yue scratched his head and frowned:

"Although she is a consultant, she spends all day in the casino, so all the work of contacting the ninja clans is done by Hinata Yu. This... is indeed hard to imagine that she will be the one to finish it in the end."

"Ah."

Senju Tobirama nodded helplessly, narrowed his eyes and said: "Shikaku thinks that it is Hinata Yu who is strengthening his power, but we know that he does not need it, he has better means."

Wu sneered, "It seems that Hyuga Yu intends to keep Tsunade away from contact with the ninja clan and avoid being tainted by politics. Because of this, she can gain the recognition of those rebels at this time, and her identity can also convince those ninja clans."

The Fourth Hokage, Shikaku and others believed that Tsunade was a stability-maintaining faction and a staunch defender of the one-country-one-village system. They defined this position without asking Tsunade's opinion.

As a result, because of Hinata Yu, Tsunade never had the opportunity to show her position in front of the ninjas below. She was a true neutral, or "lying flat" person.

In the eyes of civilian ninjas, Tsunade is different from Shikaku and can be won over because she has never shown any desire to maintain stability.

This impression led Tsunade to easily unite those ninjas who wanted revenge in this incident.

The decision she made was barely acceptable to the ninja clan.

The granddaughter of the first Hokage doesn't want the one country, one village system anymore, so what else is she insisting on? Tsunade's credibility is better than Danzo's, right?

Even further considering, if the Daimyo and the Hokage had the same inheritance system, the Ninja Clan might be able to reach a higher level.

So, Konoha rebelled under Tsunade's leadership, encountering almost no resistance. Tsunade's position and identity completely integrated all of Konoha's power.

The Fire Country Daimyo instantly became the biggest loser.

"Now that I think about it, there was a period of time before when Hinata Yu forced Tsunade to handle government affairs, causing Tsunade to complain frequently. Was this a preparation for this time?"

Senju Tobirama lowered his eyes.

Tsunade always says that she is not the Hokage and that she shouldn’t do those jobs herself, but what she is going to take over next is more than just the Hokage’s job.

But Tsunade can make such a choice, I think she must have been prepared. I hope she can hold on...

Under the gaze of several other people, there was a hint of relief in Senju Tobirama's complicated expression.

They can understand this.

Those who break the ancestral rules are considered unfilial descendants in the eyes of others, but Senju Tobirama is different.

He was the one who established the system together with the first Hokage.

If future generations only know how to maintain, but do not understand that things change with time, and then fall in front of new reformers, Senju Tobirama will be disappointed.

Someone like Tsunade, as the biggest beneficiary of the current system and the descendant of the person who created the existing system, is able to make the decision to abolish the system. That's something for the elders to be proud of, isn't it?

Wu and Gui Deng Huan Yue both understood this idea.

Because they are the second generation of Kage.

They are all witnesses and participants of the one-country, one-village system, and they are also the reformers who led the ninja world from the Warring States period to the one-country, one-village system!
As fellow reformers, they understand.

——The choice of the times belongs to the people of this time!
