The daimyo of the Land of Fire quickly received the news: Tsunade had returned to succeed as Hokage.
He had no objections to Tsunade becoming Hokage.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was that Orochimaru had actually returned to Konoha alongside Tsunade and Jiraiya.
Although the daimyo could not interfere with Konoha's administration or the selection of its Hokage, he could still offer his opinions.
When Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru had competed for the position of Fourth Hokage, not only had the people of the village favored Minato Namikaze, but even the daimyo had considered him the more suitable choice.
Orochimaru was far too uncontrollable. Anyone could see his ambition; there was no doubt about that.
Therefore, the daimyo of the Land of Fire was deeply dissatisfied with Orochimaru's return to Konoha.
On top of that, Danzo had actually been captured by Konoha's people, which displeased the daimyo even more.
Danzo had been the daimyo's partner. Many matters in the Land of Fire had been handled through him.
Politics and rule were bound to be filthy, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was not nearly as dark-hearted as Danzo.
There were many matters the daimyo could only entrust to Danzo. He had originally thought Tsunade, because of her gender, would be easier to control, but it seemed Tsunade had her own schemes as well.
Still, none of that was important. Konoha was simply too important to the Land of Fire, and Orochimaru's return could be considered a good thing.
The Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning had grown increasingly aggressive in recent years.
If Konoha's strength continued weakening at this rate, the Land of Fire might no longer be able to maintain its position as the greatest nation.
The Land of Fire possessed the most fertile land in the entire Shinobi
