Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 418 Not giving them any chance at all!

Unfortunately, the methods were sufficient, but the country's strength was insufficient, so it was all in vain.

Yuya sighed. If Yahiko were in one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, there would be no problem with him doing this, and the village would definitely support him wholeheartedly.

However, the truth is...

This guy's Rain Country is far too weak.

With such weak strength, why play like this? Aren't you afraid of backfiring on yourself?

or……

Does that brat Yahiko have a next plan?

Forget it, nothing is more important to Youya right now than finding his next successor.

For Yuya, choosing a successor is of paramount importance and must be done as soon as possible.

Not selected...

How could he slack off?!

Okay, just kidding, but we really need to make a decision quickly.

The transfer of power is a process.

Take Sunagakure for example.

Even though everyone in Sunagakure knows that the next Kazekage is Rasa, the power transition between Granny Chiyo and Rasa will take at least two or three years, or even three to five years.

Such a long period of time naturally allowed Rasa to become familiar with everything that the Kazekage needed to manage.

The same applies to other villages.

As for Yuya...

Because there is no heir, he has no way to hand over the reins.

Sometimes, You Ya really wants to just give up and let his wife have the position.

Unfortunately, after learning that Yua had this idea, Tsunade ran away to her parents' home overnight.

That's true; the Hokage position now is definitely not as coveted as it used to be.

With a sigh, Yua made a conclusion about the situation in the Land of Rain:

"Konoha will not participate in the affairs of the Land of Rain. Come and report to me when Sunagakure and the Land of Hot Springs have really gone to war."

Nara Shika also raised an eyebrow.

It's quite unusual that You Ya would choose to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

He thought that You Ya would smile sinisterly and say that this was a good opportunity, while simultaneously telling everyone to keep the peace and selling weapons to both sides.

Youya is extremely skilled at doing this kind of thing.

As a result, Nara Shika and the others are now quite adept at handling this matter.

However, since Youya has already made his decision, all they need to do is nod in agreement.

After that, You Ya continued reading the next report.

A report from Mito Menyan.

Nagato Uzumaki wants to apply to establish a university in the Land of Whirlpools.

You Ya raised an eyebrow.

Nagato is really smart.

The fact that Konoha Village uses the Land of Whirlpools as its first line of defense is certainly controversial within the Land of Whirlpools.

Whether Nagato saw this problem or not, You Xi didn't know. All he knew was that Nagato seemed to really want to break free from Konoha's control.

Well, that's understandable. Anyone with a bit of backbone would never want their country to be occupied by troops from another country and have their power usurped.

Mitokado Homura's title of "Emperor Emeritus" wasn't just a title; he actually wielded real power!

Of course, that's just a saying; it's almost impossible for the Land of Whirlpools to completely hand over power to Konoha.

Nagato probably knew this, so he likely intended to have Konoha station troops in the Land of Whirlpools, but he wanted to reclaim the related political power.

You Ya smiled. These children, after growing up, aren't there some outstanding individuals among them...

Um?and many more.

Yuya found herself seemingly...

Have you discovered a blind spot?

These kids, like Sarutobi Asuma—though Sarutobi Asuma is now in his twenties, there's no doubt that he's still a child to Yua—even though he doesn't want to be Hokage…

But what if we send them to confront Nagato and Yahiko?

Theoretically, they shouldn't refuse, right?

It's not like I'm asking you to be a Hokage who works himself to death; I'm just asking you to manage a local force. Are you going to refuse all of that?

With that thought, Youya immediately came up with another idea.

In the previous life, the ruling body of the Daiying Empire was the parliament, and the so-called royal family was more symbolic than anything else.

Their power lies more with the parliament.

You Ya felt that this system seemed to have some potential.

The Sarutobi, Shimura, Hyuga, Uchiha, and other clans each selected a representative to form the Konoha Council, and then worked together to develop the village.

Well……

Well, in today's context, such a system is a bit too idealistic.

Putting everything else aside, the Sarutobi, Shimura, and Hyuga clans haven't disbanded. If a council system were implemented now, these three clans would fight tooth and nail for their own interests in no time. What would be the point of talking about economic development, population explosion, or unifying the ninja world then? They would have to start killing people to stabilize the village.

This system is certainly not without its merits.

If clans like the Hyuga, Shimura, and Sarutobi were to be disbanded and integrated into Konoha like the Senju clan, then profiting for Konoha would be profiting for themselves.

We won't be afraid that they won't do their best at that time.

The crux of the problem is...

These families haven't disbanded...

Damn it, I've gone too easy on them all these years.

You Ya thought bitterly to himself.

The advantage of having a unified voice is that if another outstanding ruler like Yua emerges, Konoha will definitely be able to take off instantly.

But look at this new generation; they'll do anything to avoid becoming Hokage.

This generation is probably doomed; let's wait for the next generation.

Yuya has enough time to wait for another generation, but since he has thought about the parliamentary system, he feels that, strictly speaking, this system is more stable than relying on one person to be the Hokage.

Even if someone like Danzo occasionally appears, the others should be able to handle it.

Hmm... that doesn't seem right either. If the parliamentary system is established, then the highest-ranking member of parliament, whether out of personal or public interest, would certainly not allow himself to be in a dangerous situation.

If another bastard like Danzo were to emerge and wreak havoc on Konoha, and the other council members refuse to intervene, either for personal gain or out of concern that if they deal with him, others might use the same methods against them, then Konoha would be utterly finished…

It can only be said that every system has its advantages and disadvantages.

but……

Having more options is always a good thing.

You Ya thought about it for a long time, and finally wrote down the system.

Nagato's suggestion...

Let's put it on hold for now.

However, we can't just leave them completely silent.

……

The next day:

Nagato Uzumaki, the newly appointed Minister of Construction of the Land of Whirlpools, received a reply from Yua.

The letter lavished praise on Nagato's proposal.

Nagato completely ignored these polite words and flipped directly to the last page, where he saw what was written:

[...In conclusion, while your suggestion is excellent, I believe that since Konoha already has a university, why build another one in the Land of Whirlpools? If the Land of Whirlpools has talented individuals who are willing and capable of studying university-level knowledge, Konoha would very much welcome them to study at Konoha's university.]

Nagato clutched his head, feeling a headache coming on.

That's really true...

They're not giving us any chance at all...
