Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

The Fire Country daimyo paused in wiping his sweat, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that Uzumaki Mito asked me to do something that went against my principles, but when I heard that it was just a matter of choosing the Hokage, I immediately relaxed.

"Isn't he the Hokage? Who should be trusted? They are all serving the Country of Fire!"

"and……"

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire secretly glanced at the box full of banknotes and secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen only comes to visit this daimyo once a year when he is spending money on the military, but he has never done anything good!"

"Mito-sama is different. He knows my difficulties and is a loving elder who cares about the younger generation!"

The Fire Country Daimyo was thinking in his mind, but there was a troubled look on his face.

"Mito-sama!"

"But did the Sandaime do anything that dissatisfied you?"

"As far as I know from this junior, although Sarutobi Hiruzen is not as good at managing the village as Tobirama-sama, his reputation in the Land of Fire and Konoha is pretty good."

"If there is no big mistake and the title of Third Hokage is revoked rashly..."

"It's hard for me, this junior, to explain to the people of the Fire Country!"

Passing the steps to Uzumaki Mito's feet, the daimyo kept urging in his heart.

"Quickly find a reason to convince me. As long as there is negative information about Sarutobi Hiruzen and money, everything will be easy to discuss."

With a vague expectation in his eyes, the daimyo looked at Uzumaki Mito with a troubled expression, his eyes quickly passing over the box.

Mito shook his head and chuckled, without revealing the daimyo's little thoughts. He turned to Orochimaru with a smile and nodded slightly.

Orochimaru stood up knowingly and took out a stack of forms filled with handwriting from his arms.

"This is some information I collected while I was the captain of Konoha's ANBU. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty the Daimyo."

The Fire Nation daimyo nodded slightly, and the guard behind him stepped forward to receive the information and placed it respectfully in front of the daimyo.

After unfolding the information, the daimyo glanced at it and frowned slightly.

The information was laid out in tables. The first page detailed the total amount of funds distributed by the Fire Country to Konoha every year.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire felt a pang in his heart as he looked at the rows of numbers numbering in the tens or even hundreds of millions.

This is all his money!

Shaking his head slightly, he put the first page aside and continued reading.

The second page contains more content, listing the annual allowances enjoyed by civilian ninjas and family ninjas without family property.

The daimyo looked at the inconspicuous numbers behind the list of ninjas and felt no emotion at all.

Turning to the next page gently, Liao Liao's paragraphs recorded the annual income and expenditure of the Sarutobi clan, and...

The Sarutobi clan went from being an upper-middle-class family during the Warring States Period to a huge family with nearly a thousand serving ninjas in just a few years.

This number even exceeds the combined number of ninjas from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, making them the well-deserved top family in Konoha Village.

The Fire Country Daimyo's pupils shrank, and he turned to the previous page to compare the treatment of ordinary ninjas. His cheek suddenly twitched, and he slapped the information in his hand onto the table with a snap.

"This bastard actually dares to embezzle the military expenditures issued by the Kingdom of Ink and Fire and use it to develop his own family?"

"What a huge appetite!"

Mito sighed, not paying attention to the daimyo's angry actions.

"I never thought that Hiruzen would do such a thing after becoming Hokage."

Orochimaru looked at the daimyo with a smile, and took out another piece of information and handed it over.

"Lord Daimyo, here are some of the dirty tricks used by Hiruzen Sarutobi to suppress other ninja clans and weaken the power of the Fire Nation during his reign."

"Would you like to take a look?"

The Daimyo of the Fire Country waved his hands angrily. What does the suppressed ninja have to do with him?

The most important thing now is that his money was used by Sarutobi Hiruzen to support private soldiers!

Look at those expensive drugs, chakra conductive metals, various training materials...

That was all paid for with the money he saved through frugality!

Why do I, as a daimyo, have to declare everything I want to spend money on? Why could he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, use various reasons to use his own money for public benefit?

Looking at the series of shocking numbers, the Daimyo became increasingly angry as he thought about it.

"good!"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you spent my money, but you made it hard for me to live a good life, and you don't want to live a good life either!"

"Let someone else take the position of Hokage!"

The Fire Country Daimyo stood up and looked at Mito Uzumaki with firm eyes full of anger.

"Mito-sama!"

"It seems that the third generation is indeed not a qualified Hokage!"

"Juniors will convene a high-level meeting of the Fire Nation to depose Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Third Hokage!"

"only……"

The daimyo suddenly thought of a question and glanced at everyone. He asked somewhat hesitantly:

"Does Mito-sama have any good candidates to succeed the Fourth Hokage?"

"Junior, the position of Hokage was successfully conferred on the next Hokage!"

Mito was about to reply when he seemed to sense something. His eyes lit up and he shook his head at the Fire Country Daimyo.

"He's already here!"

"I, an old man like me, will not participate in what happens next!"

"You young people, please share your feelings!"

The Daimyo of the Fire Country was stunned when he suddenly saw a heroic young ninja appearing next to Uzumaki Mito at some point, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.

"Mito-sama, who is this?"

Mito patted Nousuki's arm with a loving smile on his face.

"This is Hashirama and I's grandson, Tsunade's younger brother Naoki."

The daimyo's eyes were a little uncertain, and he said hesitantly:

"Mito-sama, is this too hasty?"

"With his age, if he takes over as Hokage, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance..."

Mito slowly closed his eyes under the daimyo's astonished eyes and stopped talking.

A smile appeared on Naoshu's face, and he stretched out his hand to form the seal of the wooden clone.

"Crash!"

A series of sounds of wood colliding sounded in the conference room, and behind the daimyo and every noble official of the Fire Country, a wooden clone of the rope tree appeared at the same time.

The ninja guarding the daimyo was startled and was about to step forward to protect the daimyo's safety. The wooden clone of Rope Tree instantly appeared behind him and pressed the wooden thorns produced from its palms against his neck.

The slightly stinging touch made the body of the guard, who had never experienced life and death, freeze in place, and he no longer dared to move at all.

"Bold! How dare you..."

"Wood escape?"

The Daimyo of the Fire Country thought that the rope tree was going to attack him, so he opened his mouth in panic and wanted to scold him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a wooden thorn on the guard's neck. The daimyo's expression tightened and he asked in shock.

Naoki waved his hand and dispersed the wooden clones, and nodded to the daimyo with a smile on his face.

"Don't be afraid, Daimyo. I'm just using the wooden clone to make a little joke."

"Your Majesty the Daimyo, you won't mind, right?"
