Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

Rain fell from the sky, extinguishing the remaining fire.

Amid cheers and gratitude from the crowd, Haneda walked step by step toward the main hall.

Ministers encountered on the road all took detours, not daring to get too close to Haneda.

The Daimyo Prefecture caught fire last night, and the fifth patriarch arrived this morning.

Everyone knows whether the arson attack in Daimyo Prefecture was related to Haneda.

Amidst the hushed whispers of the ministers, Haneda led Shikaku to the relatively well-preserved main hall.

At this moment, the daimyo, still shaken, sat on a throne resembling a dragon throne.

He noticed Haneda approaching, and instinctively climbed over the dragon throne and hid behind it.

He looked like he was terrified of Haneda.

"Daimyo, I, the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Haneda, have arrived. Why haven't you come to see me?"

Haneda strode into the center of the main hall, a place where all the ministers could see him clearly.

Despite his fear, the lord peeked out from the dragon throne.

He knew all too well what had happened last night.

A terrible woman broke into the mansion and set it on fire.

Anyone who tried to attack her was steamed into a dried corpse – it was terrifying!

Another person, wielding a large machete, gestured towards his neck, casting an illusion on him.

He saw Haneda's devilish face again!

The lord looked fearful and said:

"I'm here, I'm here! Don't kill me! I, the daimyo, will use all the resources of the nation to win the favor of Konoha!"

"I really won't do it again! Fifth Boss!"

All the ministers witnessed firsthand the daimyo's pathetic and incompetent performance.

Some were disappointed with the daimyo, some glared at Haneda, and some even had opportunistic ideas...

Haneda ignored the daimyo and glanced at the reactions of the many ministers.

He nodded in satisfaction, clapped his hands, and a deer was carried up by Root ninjas:

"The Daimyo has been attacked by a terrorist organization. As the Hokage of Konoha, I have come here to express my condolences."

An honest minister corrected Haneda's mistake: "Lord Hokage, are you mistaken? This is a deer."

Yuda squinted and laughed, "I think you have presbyopia. This is clearly a horse."

Haneda pointed at the deer and scanned the hall:

"Gentlemen, tell me, is this a deer or a horse?"

The ministers on either side fell silent for a moment.

Although most of them obtained their official positions through hereditary succession, the elders taught them how to choose sides from a young age.

They knew all too well what the Fifth Generation leader was trying to say.

But some stubborn and loyal ministers still stood up, glaring angrily at Haneda, and said with youthful spirit:

"The affairs of the Daimyo Prefecture belong to the Daimyo and to his loyal retainers. You are merely the Hokage of Konoha!"

"I said he's a deer, so what?!"

Haneda came to demonstrate, showing no intention of letting the other side have its way.

He drew his Dawnbreaker sword from his waist, pointed it at the minister who dared to step forward, and said:

"Would you like to test the sharpness of my treasured sword?!"

"My sword has never been less effective!!!"

The minister drew his sword and pointed it at Haneda.

This scene not only stunned many silent ministers, but even Haneda was momentarily dumbfounded.

Three years later, after Zabuza, this is the first person who dared to point a sword at him.

And he wasn't even a powerful ninja!

Tear it apart! !

A flash of light, and a head fell to the ground.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Haneda, sword in hand, looked at the daimyo:

"Your Excellency, what is the punishment for insubordination?"

"Death penalty, death penalty, death penalty!" Daming said from the bottom of his heart as he watched the head fall in the blink of an eye.

Since the person is already dead and has no value, we might as well please Haneda and get rid of this plague god as soon as possible.

Haneda glanced around at the ministers in the hall and asked again:

"I said this is a horse, what do you all think?"

Even loyal ministers who stood up for the daimyo were abandoned by him, and the other loyal ministers were already disheartened by this.

Moreover, the daimyo himself stated that those who commit treason will be sentenced to death.

Anyone who dares to object could be executed on the spot by Haneda, who is the Hokage.

But some loyal and fearless ministers stood up and shouted:

"Bah! You traitor! As the Hokage, you interfere in national affairs. Do you even deserve the title of Hokage?!"

A flash of light, and another head fell to the ground.

Haneda smiled and said, "Is this a deer or a horse? Why don't you all step forward and tell me?"

The majority remained silent, while some speculators also concluded that this was a bull market.

They undoubtedly earned Haneda's approval and praise.

A few minutes later, after those who were to be sent to their deaths had done so, and those who were to make their statements had done so, Haneda announced:

"As the Hokage, I take responsibility for the arson attack on the Daimyo's residence!"

"I will investigate this arson case thoroughly, uncover the truth, and restore justice to Daming Prefecture!"

…………

Chapter 251 The Daimyo's Conspiracy

After leaving the daimyo's residence, Haneda ordered Root to summon all those who had previously expressed their desire to join him.

In a luxurious hotel in the capital of the Land of Fire.

Haneda crossed his legs, raised his wine glass, and looked at the trembling ministers.

After everyone had arrived, he made no move to speak.

The silence made the ministers feel oppressed.

They were all disillusioned with officialdom and now hoped to climb up to Haneda so they could advance further.

They could tell that Haneda intended to use the daimyo as a puppet.

For this purpose, Haneda will inevitably purge those retainers who support and are loyal to the daimyo.

These people are often high-ranking officials, and the positions they vacate will definitely be given to Haneda by those who support him.

But now Haneda has gathered them together, yet he says nothing.

This made them very anxious, since they had already expressed their stance and taken sides in Daming Prefecture.

They had no other choice.

A young minister, Honda Tadakatsu, asked with trepidation:

"Lord Hokage, why have you summoned us here?"

Haneda swirled the wine in his glass and smiled:

"What you think in your hearts is what I will do."

After applying enough pressure, Haneda stopped arguing.

He snapped his fingers, and several ninjas wearing animal masks appeared instantly, kneeling on one knee in the living room.

"Tonight, I will violently purge all those who oppose me."

"The Daming Prefecture has remained silent, but that doesn't mean they won't take action."

"You should know who is truly loyal to the daimyo, right?"

"Write these people down in this list, including their official positions and residences."

Honda Tadakatsu asked in a low voice:

"What will happen to them, Hokage?"
