Daimyo picked up the letter, read it carefully again, and a smile returned to his face.

He knew that Uchiha Haneda's succession to the position of Hokage without a clear master-disciple relationship lacked legitimacy.

Letting himself go to Konoha was in the hope that he would be recognized as the Hokage.

The daimyo also vaguely felt that Uchiha Haneda came to power through a coup.

You know, it's almost impossible for an Uchiha to succeed to the throne of Hokage without unconventional means.

The Daimyo intends to strengthen the control over the Ninja Village like the Wind Country, so he said:

"Is that so? Then let's go to Konoha. We haven't been there for a long time."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen is really something. He didn't even tell me that he was going to elect the Hokage."

…………

Konoha Village,

After succeeding the Hokage, Haneda assigned all the affairs of the village, big and small, to his four elders.

As Hokage, he only needs to make the final decision and control the overall direction of Konoha.

This form is similar to the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, and all decisions made by the elders must be nodded by him before they can be passed on.

In this way, Haneda saved most of the time handling official business.

He only needs to spend some time signing in the morning, afternoon and evening.

It is impossible for Haneda to adopt the political style of the seventh generation, who personally handled all matters big and small.

He also has a bloodline network plan to prepare for promotion to the Six Paths.

As for the reforms after succeeding the Hokage, Haneda needs to first deal with the nobles who have been engaged in politics for generations in the Land of Fire.

Konoha's economic pillar, namely the mission system, is highly dependent on the nobles of the Land of Fire.

Missions are provided by wealthy nobles, and ninjas need money to survive.

This is just enough to satisfy the livelihood of an ordinary ninja.

Departments like the Ninja School, Anbu, and Sealing Class have almost no revenue, and each of them is a big spender.

The agency fees that Konoha collected from the missions could only satisfy one or two departments.

Not to mention Konoha's external wars.

That's why the village needs funds from the daimyo every year to meet the operation of various departments.

Haneda was heavily dependent on the daimyo just to keep the village running.

Reform requires more massive funding and requires making changes to the existing political system.

This is bound to harm the interests of the daimyo and nobles.

Of course, the profits they lose will be transformed into the results of Haneda's reforms.

From the moment Haneda decided to reform, the daimyo and the nobles behind him became his enemies.

The arrival of the daimyo was planned by Haneda.

He needed to announce to the whole world that the Hokage of Konoha had a higher status and power than the Daimyo.

Half a month later, under Asuma's arrangement, Konoha was decorated with lights and the streets were cleaned tidy.

Envoys sent by daimyos from various countries and representatives from ninja villages all gathered in Konoha.

The new Hokage of Konoha has appeared, and he is the famous Uchiha Haneda in the ninja world.

They need to obtain information about Konoha's current situation.

For this reason, even the Hidden Cloud Village, which had been humiliated by Haneda, sent ninjas to collect information about the changes in the upper echelons of Konoha.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Haneda crossed his legs and sat in the Hokage chair, drinking tea and supervising Shikaku's work.

At this time, Kakashi walked in.

He glanced at Shikaku who was working hard, then glanced at Haneda who was relaxing and contented, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Haneda took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Kakashi, what's the matter?"

"The ANBU has informed that the Daimyo is arriving. Do you want to meet him in person, Haneda?" Kakashi asked.

"Let him wait outside and tell him that I have important things to deal with." Haneda said.

When Shikaku heard this, he put his pen down hard on the document.

The sound was very loud, but Haneda was not deaf.

He noticed Lu Jiu's resentful look, and laughed a few times in his heart, but his expression remained normal as he said:

"Elder Lu Jiu, have you processed all the documents? If you have, please place them on my desk."

"Not well." Lu Jiu gritted his teeth.

Seeing this scene, Kakashi couldn't help but turned his back and laughed secretly.

He remembered that he often threw work to Shikaku, and his smile became even more happy.

Lu Jiu took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down.

After finishing the documents in his hand, he looked up at Haneda:

"Hokage-sama, it's almost time. It will have a bad impact if we let Daimyo-sama wait outside any longer."

"Let him wait."

Haneda glanced at the time. Only a few minutes had passed and he was still leisurely drinking tea.

He also hoped that the daimyo would have a very bad impression of him and then target him.

This way, Haneda had a legitimate reason to fight back.

Kakashi and Shikaku looked at Haneda strangely. They originally thought that Haneda was simply lazy and didn't want to move.

But now it seems that Haneda may have other plans.

Kakashi was very familiar with Haneda's style, and he immediately realized that Haneda had other ideas about the Daimyo.

Most likely he wanted to suppress the Daimyo, but fortunately, in the invisible confrontation between the Hokage and the Daimyo, he had the upper hand.

And Shikaku, with his intelligence, guessed that Haneda wanted to suppress the daimyo.

But the problem is that Haneda invited the daimyo to come to Konoha and crown him in the presence of dignitaries from various countries.

As a result, what Haneda is doing now is completely contrary to the meaning of the coronation!

What exactly does Haneda want to do?

…………

Chapter 247 Coronation Ceremony

At this time, outside the Hokage's office.

The daimyo waited in the living room for a long time and urged Haneda many times, but he didn't see Haneda come out.

This was the first time since he became a daimyo that someone dared to make him wait so long.

Even the Sandaime and the Fourth Hokage would not be so rude.

His face was full of dissatisfaction.

"You haven't come yet? It's been half an hour. Even if you're constipated, you can still hold it in for half an hour, right?!"

The daimyo waved his fan, venting his anger.

He even forgot his usual manners and said rude words.

The Anbu ninja gritted his teeth and explained:

"Daimyo-sama, Hokage-sama is dealing with an urgent matter right now. He will be there soon. He will be there soon."

The daimyo said impatiently:

"How many times have you said this? Either ask the Godaime to give a specific time, or come out and see me directly!"

Asuma, who was in charge of welcoming the daimyo, couldn't help but retort:

"Brother Haneda has something urgent to do. Just wait for me. Why are you so angry?!"

"I am the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!!"

"My brother Haneda is the Hokage of Konoha. What's so arrogant about you?"

Just when the daimyo was about to educate his son on behalf of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Haneda and his two companions came out.

Haneda glanced at the daimyo and smiled:

"Let's go first. I've asked Asuma to arrange the coronation ceremony."

"Anbu people have already notified the residents of Konoha and envoys from various countries to come and watch the ceremony."

"please."

Haneda bowed slightly. The daimyo glanced at the still respectful Haneda and snorted coldly.

"Your elders are so uncultured. What about Xiaochun, Yan and the others?"

Haneda smiled and said, "They have already resigned."

Suddenly, outside the Hokage Building, there was a loud clamor of gongs and drums, and a large crowd of people were talking. Haneda then said:

"The time is just right. It's time for the coronation ceremony."

"Isn't it too early?" A minister behind the daimyo frowned and asked.

At this time, envoys from various countries walked in from outside.

The daimyo noticed that the daimyo of the Wind Country had arrived and held his folding fan in front of his mouth:

"Forget it, everyone is here, let's go up first."

The minister became even more confused, but since the daimyo had already spoken and people who were watching the ceremony had arrived, he did not dare to ask any more questions.
