Chapter 226 Orochimaru, you will definitely regret this!
The replacement of the daimyo is not a trivial matter in the entire ninja world. This is not an ordinary daimyo's succession, but a change of the daimyo's inheritance.
The allies of the Fire Nation will definitely send people to congratulate, and the daimyo of the other four major countries will also send people.
Before the succession ceremony, the daimyo of the Fire Nation had almost handed over all power to Kahn. This was witnessed by many people, especially before the daimyo made this decision, it had been checked by many people and was not under control, etc.
It's not that Sarutobi Hiruzen and others don't have the means to check the daimyo's physical condition, but all the control techniques in the ninja world are inseparable from chakra; and when it comes to testing chakra, neither the Yamanaka clan nor the Hyuga clan found any abnormalities from the daimyo.
With the relationships that Sarutobi Hiruzen has maintained in Konoha for so many years, it is relatively easy to ask the elders of the Hyuga main family to borrow a branch family guard without being known by Hyuga Hiashi. For a large family like the Hyuga, even if the patriarch supports Orochimaru, the elders of the main family will maintain relationships in other aspects to be comprehensive.
But whether it will be discovered by Orochimaru is another matter.
In Konoha Village, Orochimaru even held a special meeting of jonin regarding the succession of Kahn as the daimyo.
He and Kahn have discussed privately many times, and the two have reached many consensuses. The purpose of holding the jonin meeting is to convince others.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also came to attend this meeting, but his face has always been very ugly. It has not been long since Orochimaru became the fourth Hokage, and he is the only one left from the previous generation.
Utatane Koharu was detained because of the disorder in the financial account book. The Utatane family was not sealed, and an unknown huge amount of 200 million taels was found and confiscated; no one in the Utatane family was engaged in business, and there were few ninjas. When Orochimaru asked Utatane Koharu how she saved the money, she hesitated and could not answer.
Mito Kado En also withdrew completely. No Konoha ninja would approve of what he did, and staying would only waste his face.
As for Danzo, he has been labeled a traitor. Seven Anbu teams and seven Jonin teams, plus Namikaze Minato and others, are searching for Danzo and his Root. At least in the Land of Fire, he can't stay. Moreover,
under the management of Orochimaru, even if the Root escapes from the Land of Fire, it will become more and more difficult in the future. Sarutobi and the four tribes of Ino, Shika and Chou may not be willing to take huge risks to help Danzo. If Orochimaru catches them, they will also be in danger.
"Except for those who are outside and cannot make it back in time, almost everyone is here."
Orochimaru came to the conference room, looked around, and then said directly: "The Fire Country has changed its new daimyo, and the new daimyo's succession ceremony will be held in two days. Konoha will also send a congratulatory team. I won't go this time, so..."
"Wait a minute, Orochimaru... Fourth Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly interrupted Orochimaru, and then said: "This is too suspicious. How could the Fourth Hokage change the daimyo so easily, and..." "
In fact, Nawase should be the first to receive the news. In the absence of an heir to the daimyo's mansion, Nawase should be the most suitable person to inherit the daimyo." When
Orochimaru said the news, most of the Jonin in the conference room looked at Nawase who was sitting in the front with slight surprise; after the Cloud Ninja retreated, Nawase returned to Konoha, but he had a bad encounter with Tsunade, and when he came back, Tsunade had just left for not long.
Noticing that the people around him and Sarutobi Hiruzen were all looking at him, Nawaki had no choice but to nod and say, "It's like this, both the Daimyo and my sister asked me about this, but I'm not interested in the position of Daimyo, so I rejected the Daimyo's proposal."
So that's how it is!
The jonin in the room nodded silently after hearing this. It seems that the Daimyo had been considering this matter for a long time, and the action some time ago was the last helpless choice.
Orochimaru laughed hoarsely and continued, "Besides, Sarutobi teacher, you have checked many times, invited the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, and used the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan. You should be able to confirm that the daimyo is not controlled by others."
The next second, Hyuga Hiashi immediately stood up and bowed to apologize, saying, "Hokage-sama, as the head of the family, I didn't know that the clan members left the village. This is my dereliction of duty."
"I don't care about this matter, Hiashi, and it's not bad for Sarutobi teacher to check it out. Then, Sarutobi teacher, have you found out that someone has tampered with the daimyo?" Orochimaru
's question made Sarutobi Hiruzen look very ugly, but since Orochimaru knew about
this matter, he naturally knew the result. Sarutobi Hiruzen finally said helplessly, "No discovery." Whether it was him or Jiraiya, there was no gain from the poisoning of the daimyo's heir and the minister of the Land of Fire.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya probably never dreamed that it was the daimyo himself who did it.
Orochimaru smiled silently, his expression seemed to be mocking Sarutobi Hiruzen, making his nails under the table almost dig into his flesh.
"Then the congratulatory team this time will be led by Nawase. Hiashi-kun and Yasiro-kun, some people from your two clans, plus Uzumaki Kushina, will go to the capital of the Land of Fire together."
Then Orochimaru looked at Nawase again and said to him, "Nawase, today you will ask Hiashi-kun for advice. From today on, you will work in the Hokage Building."
This is almost a decree that Nawase is the next generation of Hokage, but none of the jonins objected.
Nawase's military exploits are really great. From before the Third Ninja World War to the previous confrontation with the Cloud Village, he has almost always been on the battlefield, and his wood escape ninjutsu also has the power to destroy the world.
In the entire Konoha Village, there are not many people who can compete with Nawase for the position of the Fifth Hokage. Namikaze Minato is of the same generation as Nawase, but the gap between him and Nawase is getting bigger and bigger. Although he has the title of Golden Flash, he has not faced the military exploits of the Five Kages directly.
"Yes, Hokage-sama." The people who were called by Orochimaru responded directly.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen said anxiously: "Fourth Daeme, should we reconsider the matter of Kushina? After all, she is Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Konoha Village will not put the daimyo's wife under house arrest. Teacher Sarutobi, no need to say more. I am the Hokage now!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned slightly blue. After hearing what Orochimaru said, he could no longer help but stood up and shouted: "Orochimaru, you will regret it!"
After that, Sarutobi Hiruzen left the Hokage Building in anger. If this continued, the Sarutobi clan would surely be cut by a blunt knife and slowly decline. It seems that he must think about what Danzo said.
The daimyo succession ceremony ended quickly. After the ceremony, all the guardian ninjas pledged allegiance to Kahn. The previous daimyo died directly after the ceremony, without holding on for a minute.
The rest of the daimyo Minamoto no Rai moved out of the daimyo's mansion after the ceremony, and cleaned it thoroughly inside and out.
However, Kahn had no intention of living here. He had asked Shennong to drive the Sky Ninja Fortress, that is, the Sky City, to the Fire Country Capital. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, the Sky City will be the new daimyo's mansion. The
Fire Country Capital can also be expanded. A completely own capital, even in the biochemical world, there is no such feeling. Although Umbrella's power is huge, it is not strictly speaking a country.
The Fire Country will definitely face a huge transformation in the future.
Media, Internet and heavy industry are the directions for the development of the Fire Country in the future. In addition to the Kahn Chamber of Commerce, all businessmen involved in these industries can get official development subsidies from the Fire Country. There
are also arrangements for Konoha Village. The current Konoha is too far away from the Fire Country Capital. Kahn plans to build several acropolises around it while expanding the capital, so that Konoha as a whole can be moved to the vicinity of the capital.
Only by gathering together can it be better developed and regulated. Although Konoha is almost equal to the Fire Country, at most the daimyo is one reputation higher than the Hokage; but starting from Kahn, Konoha will be a military force under the command of the Fire Country in the future.
After the Daimyo succession ceremony, Kahn specifically talked to Nawase and Hyuga Hiashi about this matter. As Tsunade and Kushina's relationship, and Orochimaru and Kahn's friendship, Nawase and him are naturally very close. Kahn
also treats Nawase as his brother-in-law.
The losses caused by the relocation will be subsidized by Kahn merchants; and there are also considerable benefits after being close to the capital, business and exchanges will be more prosperous, and Konoha will no longer be the relatively closed state it was before.
Nawase and Hyuga Hiashi are somewhat tempted by this. After all, the Hyuga and other ninjas have only been rooted in Konoha for sixty years, and many businesses are in other places. Whether to relocate or not is not a big deal for them, and this is obviously a good thing, they have no reason to refuse.
However, this is not an immediate action. The plan will be launched after the expansion of the capital of the Land of Fire and the development of roads in the Land of Fire.
As a daimyo, Kahn talked about many things with Nawase, Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Yashiro, and recorded ten documents before he finished talking about the things between the Land of Fire and Konoha.
The most important thing for Nawase is the official commission from the Land of Fire. Starting from next month, the number of missions from the Land of Fire may quadruple, but more than 80% of them have nothing to do with killing people. They are mostly about changing dirt roads and diverting rivers.
Nawase may also have many missions related to afforestation.
"Damn it, I lost it all in one afternoon."
Tsunade recalled the gambling game just now indignantly. She was obviously sure to win, but she was disappointed. The 3 million ryo that she had just borrowed from an acquaintance of the Senju clan was lost soon.
Now the money she has is only enough for one meal and one night in a hotel, and it is not enough for breakfast tomorrow.
"Do you still need to borrow money? Although we are all from the same clan, it always feels a bit bad to always look for the same person."
Tsunade was still having a headache about where to get the money. In addition to looking for patients all over the world for treatment, she could only borrow some money from those from the same clan who were doing well. "By the way, I heard from Hanako that Miwa is nearby, let's go find her ."
Kawaki Miwa was one of the first people to follow Kahn, and was also one of the first few people Tsunade introduced. Now she manages a huge dessert business, with an annual income of nearly 10 million taels, and it is still rising.
"Hey, long time no see, I didn't expect you to leave the village too!"
Just when Tsunade was thinking about borrowing money from Kawaki Miwa, a person sat down opposite her and spoke familiar words. After Tsunade looked at him, she recognized the person in front of her, so she immediately said unhappily,
"You are really brave to appear in front of me, Jiraiya!"
