Ying Yue felt helpless when he heard those words.
These ministers did not care at all about the nation's long-term stability. They only wanted to preserve their own power and wealth.
The ministers' reactions made Ying Yue understand that the privileged class of the Land of Fire would never easily change their methods of exploitation. Touching their interests was harder than touching their souls.
The daimyo was moved by the ministers' words. Clearly influenced by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind being killed by rebels, he had become deeply wary and fearful of rebellion.
He turned to Ying Yue and said, "Ying Yue, you are Konoha's future Hokage and the strongest ninja in the Land of Fire. In that case, I hope you can take on the task of suppressing these rebellions."
The daimyo announced that Uchiha Ying Yue would be appointed "Grand General," granting him full authority to handle rebellions within the Land of Fire.
This appointment meant that Ying Yue would not only have to deal with Konoha's internal affairs, but also bear responsibility for military suppression throughout the Land of Fire.
The daimyo continued, "I know you are a man of wisdom and foresight, but the current rebellions in the Land of Fire have already threatened the kingdom's stability. I believe that with your strength, you can quell this unrest."
Although Ying Yue did not agree with solving problems through violent suppression, he understood that this was not the time to openly oppose the daimyo and his ministers.
He knew that this task involved the Land of Fire's complicated politics and conflicts of interest, and there was virtually no room to argue against the daimyo's order.
Ying Yue ultimately accepted the daimyo's appointment, quietly planning how to preserve peace and stability while minimizing unnecessary bloodshed.
