I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

He didn't take the actions of the daimyo of the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost to heart.

After all, they aren't the real protagonists today.

Yun Ting turned his gaze to the first daimyo of the Land of Fire.

It's clear that the other party is very happy today.

Despite his persistent coughing and the foundation on his face not being able to conceal his true weakness, the daimyo remained excited and cheerful throughout the celebration. Afterwards, the daimyo, displaying the magnanimity of a great nation, bestowed numerous rewards upon the two daimyo.

After the celebration ended, as is customary, the daimyo of the Land of Fire should give a final speech.

However, as the other person continued to cough and seemed unable to recover, the group could only wait.

However, when the daimyo suddenly coughed up blood, all the officials from the Land of Fire present were extremely worried.

Will this turn a joyous occasion into a tragedy?

Fortunately, the former recovered quickly.

This brought a sigh of relief to everyone in the Land of Fire.

Just then, the daimyo of the Land of Fire coughed lightly and said weakly, "Cough cough! As you all can see, I'm afraid I'm no longer able to handle the affairs of the Land of Fire in my current state."

“My son is still a child, and cannot yet bear the responsibilities of the daimyo of the Land of Fire. Fortunately, with the daimyo of the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost as witnesses, I have decided…”

Upon hearing this, the people of the Land of Fire realized that the daimyo was entrusting his son to a regent at this time and place. They immediately straightened their backs and listened attentively to see who would become the regent.

However, the result that followed left many who had been full of anticipation speechless, as the daimyo ultimately announced:

"I have decided that the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire will handle all affairs of the Land of Fire for the time being until I reach adulthood."

"Therefore, I will create a separate position for the Fourth Hokage, second only to the Daimyo."

"His name is... the Shogun!"

Chapter 127 Shogun

The words of the Fire Country Daimyo struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving many present dizzy and disoriented.

For a moment, the entire scene fell silent.

This situation lasted for at least two minutes.

Until an old man dressed in magnificent court robes, who looked as if he were about to die, roared with all his might, as if using his last breath:

"No! Absolutely not! Even if you, Daimyo, want to entrust a high-ranking official with a position, you should choose a high-ranking official from within the country as is customary! You can't let the Hokage of Konoha take over the power of the Land of Fire!"

These words immediately jolted many people present awake, and they all became indignant.

Soon, the entire scene became as lively as a bustling market, with everyone chiming in and out.

"The Hokage is in charge of the Land of Fire? This is unprecedented in the Land of Fire and even in the entire ninja world! This absolutely cannot be allowed!"

"The Hokage already possesses formidable military power; if he were to also seize control of the Land of Fire's political power, that would be disastrous!"

"The one-country-one-village system was established by the previous daimyo and the First Hokage. How can the Hokage overstep his authority?"

"Even if one were to entrust the young emperor to a high-ranking and respected minister, it should be done so!"

"With the daimyo's wisdom, shouldn't he have been able to foresee the negative consequences of doing so?"

"This is truly illogical. Is Your Excellency perhaps so tormented by illness that you have lost your mind and uttered such words?"

"..."

The crowd discussed the matter excitedly.

In the end, many people even stepped forward together, begging the daimyo to rescind his decision.

As the protagonist of the incident, Yun Ting, who was mentioned by the daimyo as someone who would assist the Land of Fire in all matters, remained silent for the rest of the time, except for a timely expression of "surprise" at the beginning.

At this moment, seeing many people asking for books, he merely watched coldly and added these people to his account.

joke!

If these people can easily turn the tide, then all the preparations he made before would have been in vain.

As expected, the daimyo, whose mind had been altered by Kotoamatsukami and who had completely sided with the Cloud Court, stated firmly:

"You have all witnessed the Hokage's abilities. Without him, there would have been no great victory against the Cloud Ninja, nor would the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost have been brought into the Land of Fire. Although this war is over, the crisis of the future still exists. In addition, my health is poor and the children are ignorant. In order to prevent turmoil in the Land of Fire, we need a strong person like the Hokage to step forward and coordinate everything."

"My decision is non-negotiable! The Fourth Hokage of Konoha will assume the position of Shogun and assist in handling all affairs of the Land of Fire."

"Yun Ting, come here and receive your orders."

When Yun Ting was called, he stood up leisurely.

The officials who had previously been indignant and refuted the accusations immediately turned their attention to this, repeatedly offering their advice:

"Hokage, the system of one country and one village not interfering with each other was proposed by the first Hokage of Konoha, your ancestor! As the one who inherited everything from them, you cannot lead the way in going against it!"

"The Land of Fire is rife with affairs, and Hokage, you already have enough to handle with Konoha. It's best not to get involved here as well."

"Lord Hokage, please reconsider!"

"Lord Hokage..."

Seeing that persuasion of the daimyo was ineffective, these people could only turn their attention to Yun Ting.

They didn't know if the daimyo was delirious from illness, but they were very clear that if this order were to be carried out, their political acumen would naturally allow the Yunting to become too powerful to control.

Especially since this Fourth Hokage in front of him was far less docile than previous Hokage.

Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, they need to stand up and do everything in their power to stop it.

However, what happened next was quite unexpected.

Before Yun Ting could say anything, several people who had been silent until now, besides those who had spoken earlier, suddenly jumped out to refute him:

"His Hokage is exceptionally capable. With him in charge of all affairs in the Land of Fire, we should feel even more at ease!"

"Rules don't have to be immutable. The right approach is to adapt to reality and change when necessary. So what if there's no precedent? If it's needed at the moment, why not make changes!"

"Rather than letting you old fogies who hold positions of power in vain, it would be better to have the Hokage come down!"

"Konoha has grown rapidly over the years, and the various policies formulated by His Hokage have played a crucial role. If he were to come to the Land of Fire now, he would surely be able to help the Land of Fire develop rapidly as well. If it were you, the Land of Fire might still be stagnant for who knows how long!"

"Besides, it's not like the Hokage isn't willing to relinquish power. Didn't he mention waiting for the Daimyo's youngest son to come of age?"

"I support the Hokage to become the Shogun and take charge of all affairs in the Land of Fire!"

"..."

The situation took an immediate and dramatic turn for the worse.

Seeing that the Fire Kingdom officials, whose numbers were not much fewer than their own, stood in support of Yun Ting, the group that had first spoken out in rebuttal exchanged bewildered glances, saying in disbelief:

"You! You..."

They never expected that someone would betray them from the side they were supposed to be on.

This put them at a significant disadvantage.

Yun Ting, who had been watching this unfold, was not surprised.

He didn't do nothing during those years.

For example, secretly cultivating forces within the Land of Fire that align with the Leaf Village, using a carrot-and-stick approach to win over those who are terrified by the destruction of the Left Minister's faction, or those who have intricate interests with the Leaf Village and are unwilling to leave.

He alone cannot securely control the Land of Fire.

Besides the many talents he has cultivated in Konoha over the years, many people from the original government of the Land of Fire are also indispensable.

That's how we ended up in this situation.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire is now in a position of power, and the officials of the Land of Fire are divided in response. The tide has turned, and there is no room for those who dare to object.

Ultimately, Yun Ting accepted the appointment as the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

He didn't play the game of declining three times.

There's no such tradition in the ninja world, and he has no interest in it.

Thus, Yun Ting, appointed by the daimyo, became the de facto ruler of the Land of Fire, both legally and morally.

Compared to brute force, this would undoubtedly allow him to take over everything in the Land of Fire more smoothly.

In the following period, if anyone is dissatisfied with his actions and wants to take action, then the nature of their actions can be directly defined as treason.

It feels so good to stand on the moral and legal high ground.

At this moment, after watching the people of the Land of Fire bow to him with either joy or resentment, Yun Ting smiled slightly and glanced at the few who had been the most stubborn.

It's obvious that these people are very dissatisfied with the status quo and will definitely take action next.

He not only didn't stop it, but was actually looking forward to it.

Let's make a scene! The bigger the better!

It would be best to contact everyone, including those in Konoha!

That way, he can catch them all in one fell swoop!

......

The name of the Shogun has never appeared in the entire ninja world.

The fact that the daimyo of the Land of Fire said this was naturally influenced by the Cloud Court.

The reason Yun Ting uttered this term was naturally because he was thinking of the relationship between the Emperor and the Shogun in his previous life.

The situation is similar for the next part, so using "shogun" here is quite fitting.

As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean.

As the first Shogun of the Naruto world, Yun Ting ignited this fire the day after he took office.

Without any delay, the many leaders who had previously argued at the celebration were all forced to resign.

Those who held high positions collapsed, while those waiting below were naturally overjoyed.

Soon, many of the officials who had previously supported Yun Ting were promoted.

This is the greatest benefit of a successful political stance.

Yun Ting did not proceed steadily in purging the forces opposing him, but rather took a large step forward without sparing any effort, and was straightforward and direct.
