I am the strongest Hokage of all time

The Konoha Ninja Kingdom was established, but the daimyo was not abolished and remained.

Although the daimyo lost power, his status remained high.

Lake Biwa still lives in a palace in Kyoto.

It's just that this is no longer the political center of the Fire Nation.

After the establishment of the Konoha Ninja Kingdom, he seemed to be forgotten by everyone and stayed away from the whirlpool of politics.

This is what Lake Biwa wants to happen.

Originally, Biwako didn't want to be a daimyo, so Hiruzen forced him into this position.

Now that he is unemployed, he can from time to time visit hospitals run by Daming Mansion as a medical ninja.

Such a leisurely life is what Lake Biwa wants.

One month after the founding of the Konoha Ninja Kingdom.

The Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen came to see the Daimyo.

This meeting was very formal, after all the Hokage was the leader of the country and the daimyo was the nominal ruler.

The meeting between the two must be a major event at the national level.

Hiruzen came to Kyoto from Konoha.

We arrived in front of Lake Biwa and sat opposite Lake Biwa.

"Hiruzen, long time no see."

Biwako said softly.

Hiruzen smiled and said, "I just met him a month ago."

"But it was the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China and we didn't have time to talk."

"Now that the country has been established, many major events have been almost finalized. Only now do I have time to see you again."

"The main purpose of coming here is to inform you of future changes in national affairs."

Lake Biwa said she was all ears.

Hiruzen said: "As you have seen this month, all national affairs, big and small, have been transferred from the Daming Mansion to the Hokage Building."

"To be honest, the country's territory has expanded several times now, and the workload of carrying out such reforms at this time is extremely heavy."

"But I did it because I wanted to do it once and for all."

"Now the Hokage is the leader of the country and is responsible for the governance of all citizens, including civilians and ninjas."

“It really puts a big workload on me.”

"Fortunately, I established the Konoha Cabinet to help deal with major matters."

"In addition, there is the Konoha House of Representatives as the important legislative body of the government."

"The Konoha House of Representatives is divided into the upper house and the lower house. The upper house is composed of Konoha's jounin, and the lower house is elected. Citizens of Konoha shinobi country who are over [-] years old are eligible to elect and be elected as the lower house. Member of the House.”

At this time, Biwako said: "This system has never been seen in the ninja world. Is this really feasible?"

Hiruzen said: "Whether it works or not, this needs to be proven in practice."

"Let's talk about our relationship next."

Biwako raised his eyebrows, seeming to be attracted by this topic.

"First of all, the nominal ruler of the country is still the daimyo."

"After all, this system has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, and any rash changes will inevitably affect the stability of the country."

"So the retention of the daimyo is inevitable."

"It's just that the daimyo is no longer the actual ruler of the country."

"The original officials from the upper and lower levels of the Daimyo Palace have also been replaced by the Konoha Cabinet and Council."

"The first constitution of the Konoha Ninja Kingdom was also officially promulgated yesterday. The constitution only gave the power of daimyo, but not the power of governance."

"The power of governance will be returned to the Hokage, as well as the Cabinet and the Council."

After learning that he had completely lost power, Biwako said relaxedly: "This position was not what I was pursuing."

"It makes me feel a lot more relaxed now."

"Having said that, although I have no objection to this, can the officials below accept it?"

Hiruzen said calmly: "So what if they can accept it? So what if they can't accept it?"

"Konoha now has the strongest power in the ninja world. Can those nobles who only ride on the heads of the common people have the ability to resist?"

"As early as the war that broke out when you became a daimyo, I let them know how powerful ninjas are."

"The replacement of nobles as the ruling class by ninjas is the progress of the times, and they have no ability to stop it."

Biwako couldn't help but nod. During the past few years as a daimyo, she had a deep understanding of the shortcomings of the entire national system.

Now having ninjas rule the country might really make the country a better place.

Biwako asked again.

"What about our newly occupied territories? Will the same system be implemented?"

Hiruzen replied: "Of course, these parts are part of the Konoha Ninja Kingdom just like the original Fire Kingdom."

"But can they really accept such a big change?"

Lake Biwa is still a little confused.

Hiruzen waved his hand and said, "All of them who had the guts to resist had already died during World War II."

"Those who are left now are aware of current affairs and will not resist change."

The two of them chatted about important national affairs for a long time.

After Hiruzen informed Biwako of everything, Hiruzen took the initiative to change the topic from national affairs to private matters.

"By the way, Lake Biwa, do you have any plans to get married?"

Biwako was slightly confused: "Marry? To whom?"

Hiruzen smiled hoarsely: "It's not a question of who you marry. If you don't get married, who will the position of daimyo be given to in the future?"

After pondering for a moment, Biwako said: "Perhaps in a dozen years, the country will no longer need daimyo."

"At that time, my position as a daimyo will disappear."

"Anyway, I have no plans to get married and have children."

Hiruzen also thought about it for a while before saying, "That's it, I won't force you."

"It's just that I think the country still needs daimyo as a link to maintain it."

"How about this? I'll let my youngest son be your adopted son."

"In this way, there will be an heir to the position of daimyo."

Biwako was slightly surprised and said: "Your youngest son? I remember his name is Sarutobi Shinnosuke, right?"

"Are you willing to give me a son?"

Hiruzen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's what I said. Accepting you as a foster mother does not mean that you deny me as your biological father."

Lake Biwa nodded and said, "It seems like this is the only way."

Hiruzen said: "I'll call Shinnosuke over later and ask him to be your adopted son."

In this way, the young Sarutobi Shinnosuke became the heir to the Daimyo position.

A few days later, a confused Shinnosuke came to Kyoto.

It was winter at this time, and Shinnosuke was wearing a long blue scarf around his neck. Biwako recognized it at a glance as the one he had knitted for the young Hiruzen many years ago.

"You...are really father and son, you look so much alike..."

Lake Biwa sighed inwardly, feeling a strange emotion in her heart.

"Auntie... no, um, foster mother is fine."

Shinnosuke greeted slightly awkwardly.

Biwako said: "Can you... call me mom?"

"Mom? But I already have a mother."

"How about this, how about I call you little mom?"

Shinzhizukedai also came up with a new opinion.

"Mom? Not bad."

Biwako said.
