Chapter 257: The First Imperial Meeting

Danzo was angered and left again, and the third generation felt so happy.

Because of Utatane Koharu's serious illness, even though Sarutobi Hiruzen found out that Mito Kado En's death was closely related to Shimura Danzo, he had to temporarily suppress the matter and re-employ him.

However, this matter weighed on Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart like a thorn, which made him want to pull it out every time he thought of it.

So he has been looking for someone to replace Danzo, otherwise he would not have come up with the ridiculous idea of ​​letting Xuanwu lead the Root today.

After calming down, the Third Hokage stood up and turned to bow slightly to Senju Senso on the throne. After all, he had already acknowledged her status as a daimyo. No matter what happened in the past, he still had to show proper courtesy to Senju Senso. Then he said, "Your Excellency, Daimyo Wencheng, please call in all the important ministers so that we can start the imperial meeting."

Qianshou Xiancao had just become a daimyo for less than a day, and his head was still dizzy. He cast his eyes on Xuanwu and found that he nodded implicitly, so he said: "Oh, oh, okay, let's get started."

After getting the promise from the Senju Herb, the Third Hokage waved his hand, and the door of the council hall opened again. A group of officials filed in, and the first formal imperial meeting during the reign of Daimyo Bunsei began.

...

After four hours of friendly negotiations, the meeting ended and all aspects of Konoha and the government's affairs were basically finalized. Everything else remained the same, with the following main differences.

First, in order to cope with the increasingly tense situation in the ninja world, the Daimyo agreed to Konoha's military expansion plan, and the extra funding gap would be borne by the government.

Second, the amount of combat supplies such as blades, large equipment, and detonating tags purchased from the Artisan Ninja Village and the Fuma clan will be doubled each year, and the additional costs will be borne by the government.

Third, Konoha set aside a separate piece of land in the village, and the Fire Nation allocated funds to build a newest laboratory for Konoha, with Orochimaru as the director of the laboratory and Akimichi Genbu as the deputy director.

Fourth, since everyone in the palace had died, the daimyo's expenses were temporarily reduced.

Fifth, the selection of the new Twelve Guardian Ninjas will be subject to the opinion of the Hokage, which means that the armed forces directly under the daimyo will no longer completely belong to the daimyo himself.

To sum up, the Fire Nation will provide greater support to Konoha in the future, and both military aid and material aid will be greatly increased.

The patriarchs of all Konoha families fully support these decisions. The increase in military spending and material aid means an increase in their annual funding. It would be strange if they don't support it. This is the benefit of having the position of daimyo in your own hands!

The Third Hokage was even more supportive. Damn it, when he wanted to ask the Daimyo to increase military spending before, he was never happy about it. Every time he had to beg and plead for just a little bit. How many times had Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to throw the Daimyo into the toilet and drown him, and then drain him out of the sewer!

Now, it’s easy to deal with the things that the previous daimyo was determined not to agree to.

Sarutobi Hiruzen became more and more satisfied with the new daimyo.

However, compared to the good mood of the ninjas, the mood on the government officials' side was a little low.

But the daimyo had already agreed, and they had no other choice. Alas, before, these stinky soldiers were at best on an equal footing with them, but now, the daimyo had been directly replaced by someone else, and the feeling of suddenly becoming inferior was quite unpleasant.

Looking at these dejected officials who filed out, the Third Hokage felt happy again: Be so arrogant, keep on being so arrogant, you were very arrogant before, you even confronted a dignified Hokage like me, which made me lose face, I have disliked you for a long time, now you know the difference between the big and small kings, you are a bunch of little losers.

The other Konoha high-ranking officials felt similarly. In the past, influenced by the rules set by the first Hokage, Konoha had absolute power but could only tolerate the government in every way. This time, they finally got rid of their anger.

After all the officials left, the Third Hokage also stood up and said goodbye to Senju Senso, "Your Excellency, Daimyo Bunsei, we can't stay long. There are still a lot of things to do in the village. We'll leave first."

Senju Senso replied: "Okay, then I won't keep you, Hokage-sama."

The Third Hokage nodded slightly to Senju Senso, then turned around and said, "Everyone, it's time for us to leave. Xuanwu, Minato, until the people I send arrive, you two will stay here to protect Lord Wencheng. If something unavoidable happens, Minato, use the "Flying Thunder God Water" to return to Konoha and inform me."

Xuanwu stood up and assured: "Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, as long as I am here, no villain will be able to harm Daimyo Wencheng in the slightest."

Minato nodded in agreement.

The Third Hokage floated up and flew in front of Xuanwu, patting his shoulder, "I am still very confident in your strength, that's it."

After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen flew straight out of the Council Hall, followed closely by the others.

When Jiraiya heard that he was going to leave, he immediately summoned a toad and asked him to summon him back to Myoboku Mountain.

Orochimaru looked at Xuanwu with a warning look and left. The meaning was self-evident.

The Pig, Deer and Butterfly trio stayed until the end.

Qiu Dao Ding Zuo came over and said with a silly smile: "Hehe, Brother Xuanwu, I came here in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything delicious. When you return to Konoha, remember to come to my house. I will treat you well. You see how thin you are now, not like Qiu Dao at all. And..."

Ding Zuo came up to Xuanwu and whispered, "I'm telling you, my mom made a lot of your and Tsunade's favorite braised beef, and she didn't let me eat a bite, just waiting for you to come back."

Xuanwu suddenly realized that he had been waiting for him here for a long time.

"Don't worry, I'll go back to see Aunt Sanae after I finish my work here. By the way, I bought a piece of jewelry for Auntie, so you can take it back this time."

Xuanwu said this and took out a plain white gem necklace from his ninja tool bag and handed it over.

Ding Zuo took a look and found it really beautiful!

He took it in his hand and promised, "Okay, I will definitely bring it to you, hehe."

What I was thinking was: If I give such a beautiful necklace to my beloved son, wouldn’t it be, hehehehe…

While Ding Zuo was daydreaming, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi also came over to greet Xuanwu.

"Brother Xuanwu, long time no see." Multiply by 2.

"Long time no see. You've all grown up now. Where are Qingshui and Yu? Why didn't they come with us?"

Hai Yi said speechlessly: "You know Qingshui's personality. He was lazy to begin with, and he has become even worse since he started dating someone. He has started to enjoy his retirement life relying on the various shares you gave him. Yu has also followed suit. The two of them don't care about us at all now."

Shikaku also nodded frantically to express his dissatisfaction, "Yes, Brother Xuanwu, you must have a good talk with them when you go back."

Xuanwu thought to himself, there’s no need for me to ask those two guys.

He laughed and said, "Ahahaha, no problem, no problem. These two guys really went too far."

Lu Jiu didn't dwell on this matter too much, and immediately said apologetically: "Brother Xuanwu, I'm very sorry that I couldn't speak for you directly just now, I..."

Xuanwu patted his shoulder and interrupted, "Shikaku, what you did just now was right. Even if the relationship between our three families is so close that we can wear the same pants, we can't show it too much in public. In particular, we must follow the opinions of the Third Hokage or Shinnosuke. Choza is too reckless. You must keep an eye on him for me in the future."

"Hehe, Brother Xuanwu, just don't mind it."

Xuanwu withdrew his hand and said to the three people: "Okay, let's stop reminiscing for now. The Third Hokage and the others have gone far away. You should hurry up and follow them. If there is anything, we can talk when I return to Konoha."

"Take care, Brother Xuanwu. We're leaving first."
