Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

"Okay, got it."

He responded calmly.

No? Gone? ???

The daimyo's envoy was stunned!

With the government funding reduced by more than half, if Hiruzen Sarutobi were here, he would probably turn pale and complain that the funds were simply not enough, pleading with the daimyo to increase the amount.

However, Namikaze acted as if nothing had happened.

This was completely different from what Daimyo had expected.

"What, didn't you hear me clearly?"

Namikaze Mirai repeated a sentence.

Although her sapphire blue eyes were smiling, there seemed to be a chilling undercurrent in them that made the daimyo's envoy tremble.

"Okay, I understand."

"I will relay this truthfully to the Daimyo!"

The envoy dared not linger any longer and left in a cold sweat.

Chapter 91. His name is famous. How many divisions does he have?

Seeing the daimyo's envoy fleeing in a panic.

The members of the Anbu in the Hokage's office exchanged glances, each seeing the tension in the other's eyes.

One of the secret agents mustered up the courage to ask.

"Lord Hokage, isn't what you're doing...?"

The daimyo is the supreme ruler of the Land of Fire, the person with the highest status in the Land of Fire. Namikaze Mirai's actions undoubtedly offended the daimyo.

If the Daimyo holds a grudge and makes things difficult for Konoha...

"It doesn't matter."

Namikaze Mirai remained remarkably calm.

They were so indifferent to it that they didn't take it to heart at all.

Some are even looking forward to what will happen next.

Daimyo was something he planned to eliminate.

Without any military support, they can dominate the ninja villages simply by relying on annual government funding.

This was something he found incredibly incredible.

The ninja village is essentially a mercenary organization of the daimyo, with the daimyo providing annual financial support—a seemingly reasonable relationship.

However, it has a fatal flaw.

The difference in military strength between the two is too great!

With the power of the ninja village, they could easily plow through the Land of Fire hundreds of times, and the samurai hired by the daimyo would have no chance against them.

Faced with a chasm-like gap in strength.

This fragile employment relationship is like trying to tether an elephant with a fishing line.

Absurd and illogical.

In ancient China, the imperial family often felt uneasy because their generals held considerable power and influence.

In the ninja world, however, there seems to be no such concern at all.

After some thought, Namikaze guessed that there might be two reasons.

First, there is the class consciousness deeply rooted in the ninjas' bones. The rule of the aristocracy over the ninjas is a natural and irresistible power relationship.

There seems to be absolutely no "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" here!

Secondly, ninjas do not engage in productive activities.

Without the support of the daimyo, the ninjas' standard of living would drop drastically, allowing this unreasonable relationship to continue.

Namikaze Mirai has absolutely no interest in the aristocratic system.

Under his rule, Konoha will also engage in production activities and become self-sufficient.

A formal name is optional.

After thinking it over.

Namikaze Mirai pondered for a moment.

"Bring Kakashi here."

……

The home of the Sarutobi clan.

The once prosperous and invincible Sarutobi clan is now in a state of utter desolation.

In the clan's territory, the few remaining clansmen were in low spirits, and the entire territory looked lifeless at a glance.

There was absolutely no vitality to be seen.

Compared to the thriving Uchiha clan territory next door, it was a world of difference.

In a mansion room, Hiruzen Sarutobi sat at a low table, his sallow face covered with wrinkles and his back hunched.

He looks much older than when he last appeared in public.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, sitting across from each other at a low table and drinking tea, both had sorrowful expressions and looked distressed.

Since Mirai Namikaze became Hokage, all of them have lost their jobs.

Namikaze Mirai is too domineering!

They were not given any chance at all.

Faced with the threat of death, early retirement is the only option they can choose.

After all, their old friend Danzo's grave is now covered in grass that's two meters high.

"Hiruzen, if this continues, what difference is there between us and being dead?"

Looking at her aged face reflected in the teacup in her hand, Koharu Utatane said in an almost desperate voice.

During her forced retirement, her body and soul seemed to be decaying.

His entire being exuded a stench of decay from the depths of his being.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to his old friend's words, a shadowy light flickered in his cloudy eyes.

"Don't worry, Asuma is acting as a lobbyist for the daimyo. With the daimyo's support, we are not entirely without a chance."

"Is this happening?"

Xiaochun's eyes lit up immediately when she turned to the next room.

Mitokado Yan, who was standing next to him, immediately showed a look of surprise.

The Daimyo is the highest ruler of the Land of Fire.

They also control Konoha's annual finances.

The development of Konoha is inseparable from the Daimyo.

With the support of a powerful figure, their situation might change dramatically.

Koharu's heart pounded as she turned to her new room.

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of the low table, he became even more amiable.

Unexpectedly, Hiruzen made such a big move without saying a word.

"I originally intended to use this to prevent him from becoming Hokage, but I didn't expect him to act so quickly!"

A sense of resentment surfaced in his voice.

Hiruzen Sarutobi still finds it difficult to calm his turbulent emotions.

Riding on the prestige gained from the war, Namikaze Mirai instigated more than half of the Konoha ninja clans to stage a coup against him.

Just recalling those scenes in his mind sent chills down Hiruzen Sarutobi's spine.

Fortunately, with Asuma by the daimyo's side, the situation wasn't too bad.

A hint of a smile appeared in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

Judging by the time, Namikaze Mirai should have already received the daimyo's letter.

……

Hokage Room.

Kakashi knelt down in front of Mirai Namikaze.

Speak respectfully.
