Tsunade gave Nawaki a speechless look.
Did this show-off really need to be in such a hurry?
However, as Kazuki's teacher, and Nawaki's older sister, what else could Tsunade do?
Of course, she chose to support them.
She stood up directly and shouted loudly, "Those who offend Konoha, no matter how far, shall be annihilated!"
"Those who offend Konoha, no matter how far, shall be annihilated!"
"Those who offend Konoha, no matter how far, shall be annihilated!"
Since the most authentic inheritor of the Will of Fire said so, then Kazuki's words were undoubtedly also a part of the Will of Fire.
Konoha was changing!
It was foreseeable that Kazuki, unlike Hiruzen, would bring immense changes to Konoha, and if nothing unexpected happened, Konoha would expand externally.
Thinking of these possibilities, many people's hearts couldn't help but fill with anticipation.
Only by making the cake bigger could they share more benefits.
Kirigakure and even the Land of Water, which were still half-dead, were prime targets. If it weren't for the Tailed Beast and the Land of Water's full support, Kirigakure would probably have fallen out of the ranks of the Five Great Nations.
If Kazuki completely conquered Kirigakure and the Land of Water, making the Land of Water Konoha territory, what a great benefit that would be.
If possible, they actually wished that other villages would declare war on Konoha, so they could hope for Kazuki to unleash Susanoo and slaughter his way through the various nations.
"So, who is in favor of me becoming the Fourth Hokage, and who is against it?"
Seeing that most people agreed with his words, Kazuki scanned everyone and said in a deep voice.
Under Kazuki's Sharingan gaze, let alone those who were on good terms with Kazuki and wanted to gain benefits from him, even Ryoma and those who had a poor relationship with Kazuki, did not voice any objections at this moment.
"Very good, it seems that Kazuki becoming the Fourth Hokage of Konoha is everyone's unanimous wish. Then, in the afternoon, have someone report this matter to the Daimyo."
Just as Hiruzen was about to continue speaking, Kazuki waved his hand and said, "No, there's no need to report to the Daimyo. Let the Daimyo come to see me on his own accord."
"Whoa!"
Kazuki's words caused an uproar. From Kazuki's words, it seemed he completely disregarded the Daimyo.
Not going to pay respects to the Daimyo, but instead demanding that the Daimyo come to see Kazuki on his own accord?
Wouldn't this be too arrogant?
However, considering that Kazuki was an Uchiha, it seemed that everyone could understand. After all, Uchiha were all insane, which everyone could understand. Even if Kazuki was influenced by the Will of Fire, he still couldn't change his arrogant Uchiha nature.
Most people didn't know what kind of backing the Daimyo had. Seeing that Kazuki seemed to be targeting the Daimyo and the nobles, they couldn't help but feel eager to try.
If they could truly act against them, the Daimyo and the nobles' interests would belong to them in the future, which would be a huge supplement for Konoha.
Hiruzen gave Kazuki a helpless look, let out a bitter laugh, but still said, "It's not impossible. I will write a letter to the Daimyo."
"Then I'll trouble you, Third Hokage." Kazuki looked at Hiruzen with a gentle expression.
Hiruzen was taking some responsibilities upon himself. However, Kazuki did not refuse Hiruzen's kindness.
If someone was good to him, he just needed to remember it, why refuse?
"Then, let's find a time to prepare for the Fourth Hokage's succession ceremony."
Hiruzen stood up, gazing at everyone, especially glancing at Ryoma a few more times, warning him with his eyes.
"Yes!"
...
"Afterward, for your Hokage succession ceremony, do you want to invite people from other villages?"
After the meeting ended, a group of people gathered in the Hokage Office, and Koharu finally asked Kazuki.
"Call them." Kazuki said directly, crossing his arms.
"After all, it's a Hokage succession ceremony. It's best to call the Daimyo and others too. If anyone doesn't come, then we'll just attack them."
"Go to war right after becoming Hokage?" Hiruzen frowned.
He felt that going to war immediately after becoming Hokage would be bad for Kazuki's reputation. He himself was someone who cared deeply about his reputation, and he hoped that Kazuki's reputation, even if not as good as his own, wouldn't be too bad.
"All under heaven rush for gain, all under heaven hustle for gain. As long as I can provide enough benefits to everyone, they will all support me, and as for those from other countries, if I don't give them benefits, they will all curse me. This is unavoidable." Kazuki spread his hands.
"Ultimately, it's all for benefit. Whether it was the First or the Second Great Ninja War, it was all like this. Ultimately, Konoha controlled a large amount of resources, and they coveted the Land of Fire's resources, wanting to obtain more. They believed Konoha didn't have enough strength to protect all of it, so war was inevitable."
"Indeed, war is like that. I don't know what the world was like before Chakra became widespread, but according to the Senju clan's records, ever since the birth of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, wars have been constantly ongoing. At first, it was the war between Senju and Uchiha, and then all the clans were dragged in. It can be said that the Ninja World has been in bloody conflict for at least a thousand years." Tobirama crossed his arms and analyzed to the others.
"However, according to our previous analysis, the bloody conflicts in the Ninja World were very likely the Sage of Six Paths's plan. This was for the entire Ninja World. If you unify the entire Ninja World, will that truly be good? Without war, the Sage of Six Paths's plan would be difficult to continue, wouldn't it?"
In Tobirama's heart, the Sage of Six Paths was cruel, but everything he did was for the entire Ninja World. The current environment of the Ninja World was much better than a thousand years ago. At least their deaths would become nourishment for the entire Ninja World.
"This planet is actually not small, but outside the Five Great Nations, it's a blur, mainly because too much life force was absorbed by the Ten-Tails back then. Fortunately, the Sage of Six Paths found the correct method to restore vitality to the Ninja World. Unfortunately, even after a thousand years, only this much has recovered. The Land of Wind is still a desert, and we still need to continue working hard."
Kazuki said with burning eyes, "What do you think of me taking over the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind? Sending water from the Land of Rain to the Land of Wind, would that accelerate the recovery of the Land of Wind?"
