Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

Chapter 282: Shogunate Era

The capital of the Land of Lightning fell completely under the fierce offensive of the rebel soldiers. The original ruler, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, was killed, and the entire country fell into unprecedented chaos.

The Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village realizes that the ruling system of the Land of Lightning has collapsed and that quick action must be taken to stabilize the situation.

The Fourth Raikage summoned the top leaders of the Hidden Cloud Village and declared a state of emergency in the Land of Lightning.

They decided to support the son of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning to ascend to the throne in order to restore the legitimacy of their regime.

However, after investigating, they learned that the sons of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning were also killed in the uprising, leaving Ai and the Hidden Cloud Village with increasingly limited options.

Faced with the dilemma of no one to take over, Ai decided to emulate the shogunate system of the Sand Village in the Kingdom of Wind and establish a new political structure.

Although this means losing direct control over the Kingdom of Thunder, in order to stabilize the situation, Ai chooses to temporarily take over the governance of the Kingdom of Thunder.

At the same time, he began to look for a distant relative who was related to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, hoping to support him to become the new Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

After some searching, Ai found a relatively distant relative - an underage nobleman who had no intention of inheriting the daimyo's throne, but became the last hope after all the heirs died.

The newly appointed daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder is named Lei Guang. He is only sixteen years old and has no political experience. He has become the nominal ruler.

However, the real power still lies in the hands of the Fourth Raikage Ai and the officials and great nobles of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Ai knew that this situation could not last long, and he had to find a way to give the new daimyo a certain authority.

Ai began to tutor Lei Guang, teaching him how to handle government affairs and relations with the nobles in order to shape his image as a daimyo.

However, the establishment of the shogunate system made the influence of the Hidden Cloud Village more significant, and many officials and nobles came to rely on the decisions of the Fourth Raikage Ai.

As time goes by, the Shogunate era of the Hidden Cloud Village begins to gain popularity.

Although Lei Guang was nominally a daimyo, his actual control over government affairs was minimal.

The Fourth Raikage Ai took advantage of this and planned a series of reforms to ensure that the Land of Lightning would gradually restore order under the control of the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, the transition of power was not smooth.

Some nobles from the former Land of Thunder were dissatisfied with this situation and secretly plotted against Ai and the Hidden Cloud Village.

They hoped to establish a great noble family to rule over the Kingdom of Thunder, and were unwilling to accept the rule of a small noble family.

In the power struggle in the Land of Lightning and the governance of the Hidden Cloud Village, Ai realized that the shogunate system he established needed to be continuously consolidated.

In order to prevent the unrest from happening again, Ai decided to further strengthen his ties with the major ninja villages to ensure the safety of the Land of Lightning.

At the same time, the aftermath of the uprising is still spreading in the ninja world, the idea of ​​resistance is beginning to grow in various countries, and the future of the Land of Lightning is still full of uncertainty.

Ai knew that although the situation had been temporarily stabilized, the real challenge had just begun.

With the defeat of the Five-Nation Coalition against the rebels and the rebellion of the Lightning Country soldiers, the daimyos of various countries gradually realized that the existing decentralized system could no longer effectively suppress the rebellion.

Under the pressure of reality, they had to rely on the power of the ninja village again and almost entirely hand over the country's security and military defense to the ninja village.

This change is not just a transfer of power, but also a profound upheaval in the overall structure of the ninja world.

The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Lightning, which were the first to implement the shogunate system, quickly stabilized under rebellion and internal and external pressures.

After the Third Kazekage of the Land of Wind implemented the shogunate system, he successfully concentrated the country's military, economic and political power under the shogunate, and the power of the opposition was quickly suppressed.

After the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was killed by the rebellious soldiers, the Fourth Raikage Ai quickly established the shogunate system and temporarily took over the ruling power of the Land of Lightning.

The ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village became the main force of the shogunate, helping the Land of Lightning to stabilize the situation and regain control of the country's lifeline.

This centralized governance model greatly enhanced the country's ability to suppress rebellion. Daimyo and Kage of other countries saw the benefits of this system and followed suit.

The third Tsuchikage of the Land of Earth, Ohnoki, inspired by the successful experiences of the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning, also proposed to the Daimyo of the Land of Earth to establish a shogunate system.

Ōnoki pointed out that decentralized rule made it easy for rebels to escape repression, and only through the shogunate system could the country's resources be unified and deployed to respond in the shortest possible time.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth accepted Ōnoki's suggestion.

Under the persuasion of the surrounding noble officials, he realized that his own strength was unable to cope with the increasingly rampant rebellion, and the centralized management model of the ninja village could quickly mobilize a huge military force.

Soon, the shogunate system was established in the Land of Earth, and the third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki, was appointed as the shogun, taking full control of the country's military power.

At the same time, the Third Mizukage of the Water Kingdom also followed the model of the Wind Kingdom and the Lightning Kingdom and asked the Daimyo of the Water Kingdom to establish a shogunate system.

With the constant persuasion of the Mizukage and the support of the ninjas, the Daimyo of the Water Country finally agreed to this change.

The shogunate system was officially established in the Water Country. The Mizukage was given more military and political power. The civil unrest in the Water Country was also effectively controlled under the implementation of the shogunate system.

As one of the most powerful ninja villages in the ninja world, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, Uchiha Kagezuki, naturally did not want to lag behind in this matter.

The Daimyo of the Fire Nation had always been in awe of Shadow Moon. After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Shadow Moon successfully suppressed the catastrophe brought by the Nine-Tails with his powerful strength and calm command, and restored order in Konoha Village.

The daimyo knew that Shadow Moon's power was an important guarantee for maintaining national security.

Against this background, Uchiha Kagezuki proposed to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to establish a shogunate system, pointing out that this system could maximize the integration of national resources and deal with external threats and internal rebellions.

The Fire Nation Daimyo carefully considered Shadow Moon's proposal and finally agreed.

With the support of Konoha Village, the Fire Nation quickly implemented the shogunate system.

Not only did Kagezuki serve as Hokage, he was also given the title of "Shogun," further consolidating his control over the Fire Nation.

Yingyue was very clear that the establishment of such a system would not only contribute to the stability of the country, but would also enable Konoha Village to have a greater say in the politics, military, and economy of the entire Fire Country.

Through the shogunate system, he can allocate resources more efficiently, ensure the interests of Konoha Village, and at the same time strengthen his position in the ninja world.

As the shogunate system was fully implemented in the ninja world, the Kage of the major ninja villages gradually stepped out from behind the scenes and began to participate substantially in the rule of the country.

The power that was once dispersed among the nobles and daimyo was gradually concentrated in the hands of the ninja villages.

The Ninja Village not only gained control of military command, but was also able to exert increasing influence in economic and political affairs.

Although the daimyos of each country are still the rulers of the country in form, in practice, the Kage of the ninja village have become the real ones in power.
