The Guardian Ninja are elite ninjas who protect the Daimyo.
It was already the strongest military force in Daming City.
Even they couldn't stop that person; the garrison soldiers, spear in hand, dared not approach.
It's more like... a welcoming procession.
The servant opened the door, Enichi Sōjun, trying to appear calm, opened and closed his folding fan.
"Lord Uchiha Kagami, I apologize for not greeting you from afar."
Kagami Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly and twitched his nose.
A... aura of the dead.
Nodding in acknowledgment, Kagami Uchiha said calmly, "Nice to meet you, Daimyo."
"I have something to announce. Please summon all the princes and ministers, Your Majesty."
Enichi Sōjun's face was grim... This guy... just because I didn't reply to his letter, he wants to dismiss me?
Recalling Tobirama Senju's instructions, Enichi Sōjun sighed helplessly.
"I understand. Someone, please seat the Uchiha Clan Head in the honor."
The two sat facing each other, waiting for the ministers and princes to arrive.
Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere any longer Enichi Sōjun was the first to speak.
"What exactly does Kagami-kun want to do?"
Taking a sip of tea, Kagami Uchiha casually said, "Since you're disobedient, I'm going to change to a more obedient daimyo."
This nonchalant tone made it sound like they were discussing changing a pet's leash...
Enichi Sōjun suppressed his anger. "Kagami-kun, the change of a daimyo in a country is an extremely complicated matter..."
"Konoha is now in dire need of reconstruction, and I am willing to fully support Lord Kagami in rebuilding Konoha..."
"Quiet down, let's wait for everyone to arrive."
Kagami Uchiha looked up at Enichi Sōjun and slightly parted his lips.
"The kind of talk Tobirama Senju taught you?"
!!
Enichi Sōjun was so frightened that he staggered, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Tobirama... The Second Hokage has been dead for many years, Kagami-kun is joking..."
Kagami Uchiha ignored him and looked at the strangely dressed men who walked in through the door.
The oldest looks to be in his thirties, and the youngest looks to be in his teens.
Some of them seemed to realize something, their eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement.
Most of the noble sons of the daimyo reside in the Daimyo's Residence and arrive earlier than the ministers.
As time passed, the ministers in charge of Heian-kyō arrived one after another.
The Grand Minister, the Minister of the Left, the Minister of the Right, the Minister of the Center...
Like the daimyo, these ministers were also subject to a hereditary system.
That's how the Shinobi World is: the son of a daimyo becomes a daimyo, the son of Hokage becomes Hokage, and the son of a scapegoat becomes a scapegoat.
The problem is too deeply entrenched to be solved...
"Heh, Kagami Uchiha, you also find it boring, don't you? This bunch of trash actually stands above you."
Sukuna laughed.
"You can kill all their guards, and then they will worship you as a god!"
"Isn't that what a daimyo is like? This guy should be equivalent to royalty."
Kagami Uchiha ignored Sukuna.
"Kagami Uchiha, all the ministers in Heian-kyō have arrived."
Enichi Sōjun no longer held back, knowing that he was going to be dismissed from his position as daimyo anyway.
But it doesn't matter. With my power, even if my son takes over, I can still hold the reins of power.
Once this madman leaves, everything will return to normal.
The ministers, sitting in a circle, were very nervous. The lord sat in the main seat, while the young men whispered among themselves.
Kagami Uchiha glanced around and spoke calmly.
"I'm sure you all knew the situation before you came, so I won't introduce myself."
"Konoha, as the guardian of the Land of Fire, is in the midst of the Third Shinobi World War, yet it deliberately withholds financial aid. That shouldn't be the case."
A minister in charge of finances rose shakily. He had already been informed, and although he was reluctant, he still forced himself to speak.
"Kagami-sama, we allocated 900 million ryo to Konoha at the beginning of the year, and then added another 300 million ryo in supplies... We really can't come up with any more..."
"However, since you have come in person, we will also make a gesture. Even if we have to tighten our belts, we will still provide 500 million taels to support your reconstruction!"
Kagami Uchiha listened quietly without saying anything.
Sudden.
"Speaking of which, this was originally a civil war in your Konoha. It's unreasonable for us to fund the reconstruction."
A square-faced minister stood up; he looked resolute and decisive, and was tall.
This is the Minister of Military Affairs, and the Chief of the Village and Town Guard Force within the Land of Fire.
Known for his tough style, he even dared to challenge the Third Hokage in the past.
The room fell into a deathly silence.
All eyes were on Kagami Uchiha, eager to see how he would react.
"You're quite good; you're someone who dares to speak your mind."
Kagami Uchiha gently tapped the table.
Brush!
Shinkwa and Genko Body Flicker Technique, their Sharingan flashing red light.
Before they could even figure out what was going on, Shinkwa swiftly brought down his blade, and a fine head fell to the ground!
Wheel wheel wheel wheel...
The sound of the Minister of Military Affairs' head rolling could be clearly heard.
Silent as a cicada in winter.
"But I don't need a fool like you."
Kagami Uchiha slowly stood up, his tone calm.
"You're all a bunch of useless people, but I don't have the time or interest to deal with you."
Kagami Uchiha pointed at the Minister of Finance: "From now on, you will be the Daimyo. Keep the accounts clear and send all income to Konoha."
"I?"
The Minister of Finance was a thin, middle-aged man with a goatee, who pointed blankly at himself.
Enichi Sōjun could no longer contain himself, slammed his fist on the table, and angrily pointed at Kagami Uchiha.
"Kagami Uchiha! How dare you!!"
"His name is a descendant of the emperor, a lineage spanning a thousand years! He is of divine blood!!"
"How dare you act so perversely! Aren't you afraid the Shinobi World will rise up against you?!"
Kagami Uchiha didn't even bother to give this idiot a disdainful look.
"The bloodline of gods?"
"Only families whose bloodlines are passed down through bloodlines can be called the bloodlines of gods."
He turned away indifferently.
Uchiha Shinka, followed by more than a dozen Uchiha.
He raised his hand and waved it; the final verdict was delivered.
"Clean it up."
"From now on, this place is in your hands, Elder Shinka."
"Clear!"
Kagami Uchiha walked along the road, having no interest in seeing the dead bodies of the Daimyo clan.
In his view, the so-called great name was nothing more than a mascot.
Anyone can become a daimyo; you can even pull a prostitute off the street and have her do it, and she might even do it better.
This position has absolutely no sacredness about it.
Kagami Uchiha would not indiscriminately slaughter the weak, but he would also not allow a group of weak people to point fingers at him.
On the way back, night was about to fall, and lanterns were hung on the streets.
The area was bustling with people coming and going.
The turmoil in Daimyo's Residence did not affect their lives.
The girl, who had met Kagami Uchiha briefly during the day, had a sudden flash of interest.
She was not particularly attractive among the courtesans, and had no clients yet.
"Young man, have you finished your business?"
"Can I have a drink with you, sister?"
Kagami Uchiha took out a few silver coins from his sleeve, pulled the woman's hand, and placed them in her palm.
His warm and gentle smile made the woman forget to speak for a moment.
"You're very beautiful, but unfortunately I'm not old enough to drink yet."
"Maybe next time, see you later."
By the time she came to her senses, the boy was already gone.
