I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 150 Chapter 152 Dog Gongfang

"So, how about becoming my dog?"

Although this sentence is a question, it has the tone of an imperative or command.

To be honest, Uchiha Naruto really liked the cleverness and courage of this stray yellow dog and had already planned to take it away.

"Let me treat you first."

Naruto Uchiha's palm extended a phantom blue claw from a distance of half a meter and pressed it onto the little yellow dog's head.

The wound from being hit by a rock healed in no time.

Feeling the pain suddenly disappear, the little yellow dog tilted its head, somewhat confused, and scratched its head with its short legs.

"Woof."

The little yellow dog looked at Uchiha Naruto with its wet eyes, wagged its curly tail, and grinned with a fawning smile.

This stray yellow dog is probably between semi-adult and adult. It has a round head with wrinkles on its forehead and a protruding, black, wet muzzle. It looks like a pug, but its bloodline is definitely not pure.

"That fawning smile might even have Shiba Inu ancestry."

Naruto Uchiha himself had never owned a dog and didn't know much about dog breeds, but it didn't matter. He wasn't going to raise a purebred dog to show off; he just wanted to use it as a tool to hunt down the remnants of his organization.

"Once you eat my dog ​​food, you're my dog."

Uchiha Naruto decided to give the little yellow dog a little treat, so he took out a small bag of individually packaged dog food from his pocket.

This is the smallest and cheapest bag of dog food he bought at a pet store he passed on the way. The bag of dog food, about half the size of his palm, is 30g and cost him 100 yen, which is enough to buy two bags of instant noodles.

"Woof!"

When the little yellow dog saw Uchiha Naruto take out dog food, it immediately barked excitedly and then sat there obediently, its tail wagging like a propeller.

Naruto Uchiha looked at the ground and found it to be quite dirty; it wouldn't be very clean if he just lay down on it.

He opened his palm, used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic technique) to create a stone bowl, placed it on the ground, and poured the dog food into it.

The little yellow dog looked at the dog food in the stone bowl, then raised its head and looked at Uchiha Naruto with expectant dog eyes.

Naruto Uchiha was somewhat surprised. This little yellow dog seemed to be trained. It had protected the little girl before, which showed that it was very friendly to humans. It was probably not a stray dog ​​that grew up on the street, but was abandoned by its owner.

"Come on, eat up, slurp slurp—"

"Woof woof woof!"

The little yellow dog immediately came running over, buried its head in the stone bowl, and began to feast.

30g of dog food isn't much; even small dogs need two or three bags to feel full.

The little yellow dog wolfed down its food, quickly finishing it all. It then licked the stone bowl clean, seemingly still wanting more.

After the little yellow dog finished licking the stone bowl, it looked up at Uchiha Naruto, who spread his hands to indicate that there was nothing left.

Although the little yellow dog was a little disappointed, it still wagged its tail and ran energetically to Uchiha Naruto's feet.

The stone bowl behind him began to crumble and disintegrate, turning into a pool of yellow sand.

"It's really filthy."

Naruto Uchiha squatted down and patted the dog's head, a look of disgust on his face.

He looked up at the sky and saw that the crow was still circling above, so he knew that there was no one nearby.

"Water Release: Bubble Waves"

Naruto Uchiha formed a hand seal and blew a continuous stream of bubbles from his mouth, rinsing the little yellow dog.

The summoned creature, the giant crab, that Pain summoned used this technique to wash away Jiraiya's toad oil.

Naruto Uchiha controlled the power as much as possible, reducing it to the limit, just enough to cover the little yellow dog.

After the washing was finished, the little yellow dog ran far away, turned its body to shake off the water droplets from its fur, and then ran back.

"Woof woof woof."

Now that it's clean and fresh, it looks much cuter.

Uchiha Naruto angrily rubbed the dog's head and then scratched the little yellow dog's chin, making the little yellow dog whimper comfortably.

"Stick out your claws."

Upon hearing this, the little yellow dog sat down on the ground and put its right front paw up. Uchiha Naruto pinched its paw and couldn't help but laugh.

"I've said it before, once you eat my food, you're my dog."

Although a small bag of dog food wasn't enough to fill the dog's stomach, Uchiha Naruto still declared with righteous indignation:

"Now that you've accepted my dog ​​food, the contract is formed. From now on, you're my dog!"

Naruto Uchiha picked up the little yellow dog from the ground, a wicked smile on his face.

"Let's start by giving you a name, how about Inuyasha?"

The little yellow dog tilted its head, panting with its tongue lolling out, a fawning expression on its face.

"Don't you like it? Then call it Sesshomaru?"

The little yellow dog stuck out its tongue and licked the back of Uchiha Naruto's hand, wagging its little tail in a very ingratiating manner.

"Not satisfied with this one either? Neither of these two imposing names are good enough? Then let's just call you Dog General!"

"Woof!"

The little yellow dog suddenly let out a soft bark.

Do you like the name "Dog General"?

Uchiha Naruto knew, of course, that the little yellow dog couldn't understand human speech, so he smiled and said:

"But these names are really too cringeworthy, it wouldn't look good if people heard them. Admiral, General... I've decided, I'll call you 'Tsunayoshi'!"

The fifth shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate was named Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, also known as Inu-kubo (shogun).

The most famous thing Tokugawa Tsunayoshi did during his reign was to issue the "Edict of Mercy for Living Beings," which is considered a bizarre and infamous event throughout history.

The "Order of Compassion for Living Beings" forbids people from killing, abusing, or abandoning any animals, not even mosquitoes. Dogs are the most targeted animals in this order.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi had difficulty conceiving. After losing his son, he sought advice from the monk Ryūkō. Ryūkō replied, "The lack of offspring is the retribution for many killings in a previous life. If you wish to have an heir, the best course of action is to abstain from killing. Moreover, the Shogun was born in the year of the Dog, which is the most auspicious time for you to love dogs."

Under Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's strict orders, every household had to register their dogs, feed stray dogs, and take their dogs to the vet when they were sick. Even if ordinary people saw two dogs fighting on the street and did not stop them, resulting in the dogs being injured, they would be sentenced to prison.

What was even more outrageous was that the Tokugawa Shogunate later spent a huge sum of money to build a stray dog ​​shelter, which at its peak housed more than 40,000 dogs, costing 36,000 taels of gold in annual fees.

The stray dogs at the shelter were fed a daily meal of white rice, three kinds of soy sauce, and one serving of food. To put it bluntly, these stray dogs ate better than the ordinary people at the time.

The roaming stray dogs caused great trouble for the people, and public resentment was boiling. People directly cursed Tokugawa Tsunayoshi as the "Dog King," and even an underground organization emerged in Edo to secretly kill dogs to vent their anger.

With the death of Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the Edict of Mercy for the Living was abolished, and a nationwide frenzy of retaliatory dog ​​killings ensued.

"Tsunayoshi, Tsunayoshi, this is the name I've decided on."

Uchiha Naruto thought the name was pretty good, and he grabbed the little yellow dog by the scruff of its neck and started making empty promises:

"Tsuna, you're still not full? No pain, no gain. Whether you can enjoy a good meal depends on your efforts from now on!"
