Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 56 Great Name: You Be the General

He became the daimyo of the Land of Fire at a young age, but he was not interested in power, and his only requirement for the Land of Fire was to preserve its territory.

The only thing that remained etched in his heart was the night his father died helplessly, which showed him just how painful it was to be plagued by illness.

After becoming a daimyo, although most of his desires were fulfilled, the fear of death remained in his heart; although he had been free from illness and disaster for decades, he still could not resist the approaching old age.

"Yo-suke, you really are no ordinary person. I'm starting to believe that dream."

After a moment of silence, the daimyo looked at Shirakumo Yosuke again, a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "So, what can you give me?"

"I am confident that I can live to be 120 years old and healthy. Although I cannot achieve that now, I am confident that I can."

Baiyun Youjie said calmly, "The limit of human lifespan should be around 110 years, but the ninja world has a lot of cells, which cannot be explained by his previous life's knowledge."

Moreover, given his abilities, Shiraku Yosuke believed he could research a method for achieving longevity.

Orochimaru, at seventy, is just like a young man. He possesses omniscience, yet he can't do it? He'd be better off with a purple clay pot!

"If you trust me, Daimyo, you'll see results within ten years. But this is in exchange."

"You have quite the nerve, Yosuke-kun. You're only nine years old. Why are you talking to me about exchanging things?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire sneered, covering his face with his folding fan, and continued, "If I were to ask the Third Hokage for you, he would surely not refuse. Do you have the strength to resist now?"

"Please don't do that. It won't threaten me, and you might be the first one to get hurt, Your Excellency."

After saying this, Shirokumo Yosuke glanced at Kazuma, calculated for a moment, and then dismissed his previous idea. He said calmly, "If you had arrived three days earlier, you could have threatened me. And would the Third Hokage have given you the same promise? If so, you could have gone to him."

Shirokumo Yosuke turned to the side and gestured with his hand.

"Hehehe"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire turned his head away guiltily and chuckled. His guilt wasn't because he was frightened by Shirakumo Yosuke's words, but because of those eyes.

These were the most profound eyes he had ever seen; under Shiraku Yosuke's gaze, it seemed nothing could escape his notice.

This feeling is awful, just like in my dream!

The daimyo of the Land of Fire vaguely remembered that in his dream, he felt both fear and anticipation towards Yosuke Shirakumo, fearing those eyes that could see through everything.

I escaped the dream after waking up, but now I see it again.

"The Third Hokage doesn't have much patience, and if you're not resolute, Daimyo, you probably won't get what you want."

Shirakumo Yosuke urged again in a calm tone. These words made the hesitant daimyo make up his mind. He closed his folding fan, clapped his hands, and said, "Alright, Yosuke-kun, I support you."

"According to the agreement between my grandfather and the First Hokage, the Daimyo's office could establish a shogun position to discuss military operations with Konoha. This was proposed by the First Hokage, but my grandfather trusted him and therefore did not appoint anyone."

When the daimyo spoke of events from decades ago, Shirakumo Yosuke had already "seen" them; he was simply waiting for the daimyo to grant him the position of general.

A nine-year-old general may seem a bit unusual, but this is a position in the daimyo's prefecture, and the daimyo can appoint him if he is determined.

Moreover, Konoha is not without 12-year-old Jonin. In Konoha, Jonin is a position that allows one to participate in important village decisions.

"Within ten years, I can meet your needs, Your Excellency."

Shiraku Yosuke began by saying, "On the condition that you support me."

"Before coming to Konoha, I was already thinking of taking a gamble, but after seeing you, Yosuke-kun, I feel that I can't lose this gamble."

After the daimyo finished speaking with a smile, he said to Kazuma beside him, "Kazuma, please invite the Third Hokage and the others in."

"Yes, Lord Daimyo."

Kazuma withdrew the excited look he had been giving Shirakumo Yosuke and quickly invited in Hiruzen Sarutobi and other high-ranking officials from Konoha, as well as the accompanying ministers from the Land of Fire.

After everyone was seated, the daimyo, covering his face with a folding fan, chuckled and said, "Third Hokage, I had a very good chat with Yosuke-kun just now, and we reached an agreement."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, puzzled, asked, "What agreement?"

"The agreement between the Daimyo Prefecture and Konoha stipulates that the position of shogun can be placed in Konoha to participate in war affairs."

The daimyo said slowly, "After speaking with Yosuke-kun, I have decided to grant him the position of general and give him full authority to handle matters related to Konoha on behalf of the daimyo's estate."

"What? A general?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned, speechless with shock at the news, but quickly recovered and asked, "Daimyo, what are you saying? Why is the Daimyo able to establish a shogunate in Konoha?"

Mitokado Homura, who was standing on the other side, seemed to remember something, so he quickly got up and went out for a while, and soon returned.

He was also holding a rather old scroll in his hand. This was the First Hokage and the Daimyo's residence. He opened it before and after arriving at Hiruzen Sarutobi's body and saw that this clause was indeed in the agreement.

When Konoha and Daimyo signed the agreement, these children were only five or six years old, so naturally they were unaware of it.

Later, due to the Daimyo's trust in Hashirama Senju and the fact that Tobirama Senju had managed Konoha Village so well, thus enhancing the power of the Land of Fire, this agreement was never mentioned again.

However, the fact that it was not mentioned does not mean that it did not exist. This time, the fact that the patriarch brought up the agreement again is in accordance with the provisions of the agreement.

Moreover, this was proposed by Hashirama Senju. Given Hashirama Senju's personality at the time, it was perfectly reasonable for him to even give away the Tailed Beasts to other ninja villages for free and to have the Daimyo's office establish the position of Shogun within Konoha to discuss war matters.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others simply couldn't accept it. They could grit their teeth and accept the position of general, figuring they could just ignore it when the time came. But if the general was Yosuke Shirakumo...

A nine-year-old child?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane exchanged glances, each understanding the other's thoughts and attitudes from their eyes.

"Your Excellency, please reconsider."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said firmly, "Even if it's an agreement, there has never been a nine-year-old general in the ninja world. Your Excellency, please find someone else."

"There can be a twelve-year-old Jonin, but not a nine-year-old Shogun? Does the Daimyo's office require the Hokage's approval to appoint officials?"

Shirakumo Yosuke said calmly, then turned to look at the three ministers of the Land of Fire who had come with the daimyo, and continued, "Minister Hirahara, Minister Yoshikawa, and Minister Nobunoga, did you three obtain the Hokage's permission before assuming your positions?"

The three ministers remained silent upon hearing this, but their expressions were not good; the Daimyo Prefecture and Konoha Village jointly contributed to the Land of Fire, but the two remained independent of each other.

Konoha doesn't listen to the Daimyo's opinion when selecting Jonin, so there's no reason why the Daimyo should listen to the Hokage when selecting people for office.

In name, the Daimyo's office is slightly superior to Konoha. The selection of the Hokage should take into account the Daimyo's office, not the other way around!

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others' expressions changed slightly. Although Konoha was relatively assertive when dealing with the Daimyo in many matters, they still didn't have the idea of ​​tearing down that facade.
