Inside the main hall, Kyosuke and the Daimyō sat side by side, while Princess Anzai Eri respectfully offered them a cup of tea.
"Kyosuke- sensei, please have some tea."
He smiled as he took the teacup, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp. From that moment on, he officially accepted the little princess as his disciple.
To solidify their relationship, the Daimyō suggested that the little princess become his apprentice, a suggestion Kyosuke did not refuse.
The collaboration between the two sides would bring many benefits, not to mention that he already had plans to try leading a team and training new talent.
Not only him, but Tobirama, Hashirama, and Madara will all become instructors for Genin, which can be seen as setting an example for other ninjas.
None of us big shots mind the hard work, but anyone who dares to resist leading the class is disrespecting the three of us.
My son counts as one, and now there's Anzai Eri too, so it's not a big deal.
As a princess, she will not need to go to the battlefield in the future; she only needs to be given enough strength to protect herself.
Of course, Kyosuke absolutely could not allow the two of them to be too weak; at the very least, they couldn't lose Tobirama that little bastard Tobirama.
The Third Hokage and Pot Kage, the Danzo, from the original work, are two kids whose talent is beyond doubt.
If we don't put in some effort, we might actually be suppressed by others in the early stages.
Looking at his smiling son and little princess, Kyosuke said seriously, "Be prepared, your lives won't be as easy as before."
"Since you have chosen me as your master, you must be prepared to accept the corresponding consequences."
"My disciples must never be inferior to others."
"Yes!" the two little ones answered in unison, then exchanged a smile.
"..." Kyosuke clicked his tongue, feeling somewhat superfluous.
As for the Daimyō next to him, he had a big smile on his face, seemingly very happy to see this scene.
That night, the two bigwigs from the Land of Fire had a long talk.
They discussed people's livelihood, military equipment, and the best candidate for the first Hokage.
"The Hokage Position belongs to none other than Kyosuke." The Daimyō's voice was firm and resonant, his attitude clearly stated.
Seeing this, Kyosuke no longer concealed his thoughts and frankly expressed them.
In the coming period, Konoha will become increasingly reliant on the Daimyo's Mansion's financial assistance.
At that time, the Daimyō's influence will increase, and may even have some impact on Hokage Position.
At that time, Kyosuke will need his full support.
"It's a deal." The Daimyō was quite shrewd, knowing he had no room for negotiation with the God of Shinobi.
In particular, this God of Shinobi's methods were astonishing, and his style of doing things was rather insidious and ruthless.
Although both sides seemed to be having a great time and appearing as if they were already family, the guests and hosts were clearly enjoying themselves.
If he dared to switch sides and support the Senju, the Daimyō was quite certain that he would soon face some unknown accident.
At that time, the daughter will soon take over and continue to provide unreserved support to her teacher, Kyosuke.
Daimyō hasn't lived enough is naturally unwilling to die young. If you support me, I would definitely support you to take the throne with all my might.
Some things are best left unsaid.
Having received a satisfactory answer, Kyosuke returned to his room with a smile, just in time to receive the intelligence handed to him by his subordinate.
In order to boost the ninjas' enthusiasm for training, the Senju Clan Leader Konoha to have a friendly sparring match with the Hyuga Clan Leader.
This news immediately caused a sensation throughout Konoha, with everyone expressing their desire to come and watch. Tobirama even built a large Fighting Arena specifically for this purpose.
This was the precursor to the venue for the future Chunin Ninja Exams.
On that day, countless people attended to watch the battle, and in front of many witnesses, Hashirama and Yayoi in a fight that was full of theatrical flair.
In the end, Yayoi lost by a small margin, but she showed no signs of weakness on the field.
No one expected that Yayoi Hyuga's strength had actually increased to a level comparable to Wood Release.
A few discerning people knew that this was Hashirama sacrificing his own reputation to fulfill the wishes of the Hyuga Clan Leader.
Of course, Yayoi's strength is beyond doubt. Once Tenseigan Chakra Mode, she immediately possesses Super Kage Level combat power.
Many people speculate that Yayoi at this time may have surpassed Hyuga Tennin's strength back then.
Whether this is the truth or not, no one but herself knows.
Seeing that the exhibition match was well-received, the village held a second high-level meeting that afternoon.
At the meeting, Yayoi Hyuga officially received the title of Konoha Elder, becoming the fourth Elder after Kyosuke, Madara, Hashirama.
His power and prestige rose rapidly, almost to the point where the Clan Leader had to look up to him.
Given her personal strength and the power of the Hyuga Clan, it's not surprising that she was appointed as an elder.
The only thing that puzzled everyone was that Yayoi was clearly on the Senju's side, so why didn't the Uchiha react at all?
Madara Uchiha has always been assertive; he doesn't seem like the type to be bossed around.
It can only be said that there was perhaps some exchange of benefits between the two parties.
Indeed, the Senju Clan paid a considerable price to ensure Yayoi's ascension to power.
Concessions were made on various aspects of the interests, and promises were even made that the party would never interfere in matters related to the ninja academy.
From now on, the Ninja Academy will become a place dominated by the Uchiha, and a large portion of the graduating students will naturally develop a favorable impression of the Uchiha.
The Senju weren't unaware of the drawbacks of doing this, but in order to place their own people at the highest levels, they couldn't care less about the consequences.
With Yayoi acting as a Yayoi and balance, the Senju were able to truly rival the Uchiha.
When the time is right, it will be easy to infiltrate the ninja academy.
Promise?
That's something only children believe; adults only consider the pros and cons.
"Things are getting more and more interesting." Kyosuke burned the letter and said calmly, "Give the order to set off back to the village tomorrow."
"Yes!"
The next day, the Uchiha left behind their first batch of "Twelve Guardian Ninja," and then the Family's large group set off.
As Kyosuke's student, the cute and lively Anzai Eri naturally followed in the group.
The Daimyō originally intended to arrange for maids to accompany and serve him, but considering that it might offend Kyosuke, he decided to give up on the idea.
"Never mind, it's good for my daughter to gain some experience."
His worries turned out to be completely unnecessary. Throughout the journey, Anzai Eri was very lively and showed none of the pampered nature often associated with princesses.
"Teacher, look! I can use the Transformation Technique now!"
"Good."
"Yuto, look, haven't my Shuriken improved?"
"Oh, that's really good."
Not only Yuto, but other members of the clan also took good care of the adorable little princess, and occasionally even patiently corrected her mistakes in cultivation.
With his clansmen helping to look after him, Kyosuke was happy to have some free time. However, it seemed that fate was deliberately working against him, and soon, the large group was greeted by an uninvited guest.
"Uchiha Kyosuke?"
"Very well, I'll take your head." That's what the visitor said.
