Senju Takuya looked at the daimyo and asked calmly.
To him, this daimyo of the Fire Nation, the most powerful country in the ninja world, was just a plaything that could be killed easily.
"..."
"You die!"
The daimyo suddenly shouted loudly.
Immediately afterward, twelve ninjas rushed out from behind him.
"Snort!"
"The Guardian Twelve Shinobi, each one possessing the strength of a Jōnin. -"
"If we work together, we will be invincible."
"Despicable ninja, go to hell!"
The daimyo sneered a few times, with a smile of success in his eyes.
Did you really think he was scared just now?
He was just stalling for time.
Now that the twelve Guardian Shinobi are protecting him, who in the entire ninja world can hurt him?
You actually want to make him surrender?
Stop dreaming!
Although he heard what the daimyo said about "despicable ninjas," the Guardian Twelve Shinobi showed no expression at all.
In their hearts, they seemed to have already accepted this title.
Under the daimyo's order, the twelve ninjas directly surrounded Takuya.
Seeing this scene, a proud smile appeared on the daimyo's face.
Although he looked down upon these ninjas, he had to admit that sometimes these brainless guys were relatively easy to use.
"Konoha Shinobi, for offending the daimyo, you have committed a serious crime."
"Today, let us join forces to punish you."
The leading ninja said coldly.
The other ninjas all assumed an offensive stance.
"So, is this your confidence?"
Takuya smiled.
Guardian Twelve Shinobi?
Each one has Jōnin's strength?
If they work together, they will be invincible?
These guys are willing to flatter the daimyo. They really know how to exaggerate their own abilities.
"Snort!"
"Laugh, let's see how long you can laugh."
Seeing the disdainful smile on Takuya's face, the daimyo became angry again.
As a daimyo, he certainly would not go out of his way to understand the strengths and weaknesses of a group of "tools."
In his eyes, Jōnin are already the top fighting force in the ninja world.
Even if Takuya is very strong, can he still surpass twelve Jōnin?
"Attack!"
After receiving the order from the daimyo, the twelve Guardian Shinobi immediately launched an attack on Takuya.
They launched attacks from different directions at the same time, without any blind spots at all.
Seeing this scene, Takuya stood there without even intending to dodge.
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated.
For a moment, the nearly 100-meter-tall Susanoo towered into the sky.
The tall and magnificent palace seemed very small in front of Susanoo.
"What... what is this?"
"It's a lie. Is this also the power that ninjas have?"
"No..."
Looking at the towering Susanoo, everyone present could not help but swallow their saliva.
The terrifying aura that was constantly exuding made it difficult for them to even breathe.
The Twelve Guardian Shinobi were even more horrified.
In order to please the daimyo, their attack just now was their full strength.
But, the attacks of the twelve of them did not leave any trace on this huge demon statue.
"Look, what is that over there at the palace?"
"Devil! The devil has arrived!"
"It's so scary, everyone, run away."
"Is this God coming to punish His Highness the Daimyo?"
Susanoo's appearance also attracted the attention of everyone in the capital.
Looking at Susanoo, who was like a demon, everyone took a deep breath.
What exactly happened?
Why did the devil suddenly appear in the palace?
What did the daimyo do?
Everyone's mind was full of doubts.
Inside the palace, Takuya crossed his arms and stood on Susanoo's forehead.
With a thought in his mind, Susanoo raised its leg high.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the whole earth shook.
Just one blow...
The twelve Guardian Shinobi, who were considered invincible by the daimyo, all died tragically at Susanoo's feet.
"Killing a chicken with a bull's-eye."
Takuya muttered.
These so-called Guardian Shinobi were weaker than he thought.
They didn't even last a single move
At this time, the daimyo was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his whole body shaking, and even his pants were wet.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Takuya dismissed Susanoo.
"I agree with your request!"
"I promise you whatever you say."
"From now on, you have the final say in the Fire Nation."
Before Takuya could speak, the daimyo knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
This daimyo, who had been pampered since he was a child, was really scared now.
The terrifying demon statue just now was like a god in the sky, and it was simply not something that humans could deal with.
"I like your current attitude very much."
"But it's too late."
Takuya smiled slightly and waved the long knife in his hand.
Click!
The daimyo's head was chopped off.
Seeing this scene, everyone still alive on the field knelt on the ground with a plop.
Seeing that no one dared to defy him anymore, Takuya asked people to bring the daimyo's descendants back.
Six people in total.
There were four boys and two girls.
Takuya did not hesitate and killed all the boys.
The remaining two girls were kneeling on the ground, shivering.
"What are your names?" Takuya asked.
"My name is Yukimi, and my sister's name is Yukino," the older girl answered, suppressing her fear.

"Now, I give you a chance to live. How about it?"
Looking at the two girls, Takuya said calmly.
"Please give me your orders," Yukimi said immediately.
"You come back to Konoha with me, and the other one stays here to succeed the daimyo," Takuya pointed at Yukimi and said.
"We will obey your orders."
After seeing Takuya's cruelty, Yukimi had no intention of resisting at all.
Even though her father and brothers were killed by the man in front of her, she had no thought of revenge.
Just now in the harem, she also saw the demon statue with her own eyes.
A strong person with this kind of power would make the wisest choice to obey.
"Very good."
"You are much smarter than your father."
Takuya nodded with satisfaction.
After a brief chat, Takuya asked people to summon all the people in power in the capital in the name of the daimyo.
After cleaning up some "stubborn" guys, everyone knelt in front of him and expressed their surrender.
And Yukino, under the witness of everyone, successfully inherited the title of daimyo and became the ruler of the country.
The day after Yukino became daimyo, a series of announcements were made to enhance the status of ninjas.
For a time, the entire ninja world was in shock.
Daimyo surrenders to Hokage...
This kind of thing shocked everyone.
Considering that Yukino was only a teenager, Takuya asked Hatake Sakumo to bring some "shadow" ninjas to the capital.
Help Yukino control the entire Fire Country.
After stabilizing the situation, the country of fire will be completely in Takuya's hands.
Next, all you need to do is transform the Fire Nation into what you want step by step.
After finishing what he should do, Takuya stayed in the capital for a few more days and had a good time with Tsunade and Kushina.
After having fun, he took Yukimi, Tsunade, and others towards Konoha.
---
It is worth mentioning that when Tsunade and others saw the "noble and elegant princess" groveling in front of Takuya, the last trace of awe for the daimyo disappeared in their hearts.
Turned out, this group of people who claimed to be superior to others would show such subservience in the face of absolute power.
When Takuya returned to Konoha Village, he received a very grand welcome. Almost all the villagers and ninjas in Konoha Village came to the entrance of the village, cheering for him, shouting words like "Long live Lord Takuya!"
"Takuya-sama, we have all heard about your deeds. Thank you so much!" one boy said excitedly, with tears in his eyes.
His father had died to protect the nobles but was criticized as "a piece of trash who can't even make tools." He hated those superior guys. Why can't ninjas be respected? However, as he grew older, he gradually recognized the reality: ninjas are tools. This was a fact recognized by the entire ninja world. It was a tradition that no one could change. But, when he heard that Takuya made the high-ranking daimyo bow their heads and surrender, he was stunned. Ninjas will be respected in the future!
"It was Lord Takuya who allowed us ninjas to find our dignity. No matter what happens in the future, I will stand firmly behind Lord Takuya!" a kunoichi shouted.
After becoming a ninja, her self-esteem had been trampled on by others time and time again. She worked hard on missions but did not receive any respect. Once, her employer even tried to force her to have sex. When she refused, she was called a "foolish fool." She wanted to stand up and resist but didn't have the courage. Takuya helped her do it. She didn't know how much pressure Takuya had to bear to have the courage to make such a choice. But she knew that no matter what happened in the future, she would firmly support Takuya!
Not just the two of them, all the ninjas present were excited. In this era, ninjas were called "tools" and had no status. Takuya gave them dignity. How could such a person not be respected?
"Husband, you are so outstanding. I really married the right person," Kushina said with a happy smile on her face as she sat on the carriage, watching the cheers of the crowd. Mikoto's eyes were also filled with admiration. Pakura looked even more brilliant. Even Tsunade, who usually talked back, was held obediently in Takuya's arms at this time.
In an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, Hiruzen looked constipated. When he was Hokage, he was often made things difficult by the daimyo. Sometimes, to get more financial support, he even had to grovel. But now? Takuya solved it with force. The highest status the daimyo who submits to the Hokage. No one would have dared to think of such a thing before, right?
Amid cheers, Takuya returned to the clan. Mito took Nono and others out to greet him in person.
"Little Takuya, what you did is really good. If I had met you when I was young, what would have happened to Hashirama?" Mito said happily as soon as she saw Takuya.
Back then, when determining the one-country-one-village system, she turned a deaf ear to Hashirama. However, Hashirama was too stubborn and refused to use force against the daimyo no matter what. He also said that for thousands of years, there had been no reason for ninjas to attack their employers. Slowly, the status of ninjas became lower and lower. But little Takuya changed all that. How could she not be happy?
"Hahaha...Grandma Mito, please stop teasing me. After traveling for such a long time, let's go back and have a meal first."
Takuya laughed a few times and led everyone toward the clan territory.
Looking at the extremely luxurious clan's land, Yukimi couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise. She never imagined that there was a more luxurious place in the world than the palace.
A few more days later, the Hokage succession ceremony also officially began. Takuya couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought that he was about to become Hokage. Becoming Hokage, leading Konoha Village to become the most powerful ninja village in the entire ninja world, and unifying the entire ninja world had always been his dream in his previous life.
Arriving in the backyard, Takuya couldn't help but be startled when he saw the elegant and beautiful Yukimi.
Pretty! It's so beautiful!
Now Yukimi was wearing the clothes unique to the princess of the Land of Fire. The yellow silk and exquisite embroidery made her look gorgeous. The bunted hair was also covered with precious gold ornaments and gems. It matched the aristocratic temperament cultivated from childhood. Even Takuya, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was a little surprised at this time.
"Takuya-sama," Yukimi bowed slowly to Takuya.
"Ahem... are you all ready?" Takuya came back to his senses and asked calmly.
"Everything is ready," Yukimi said respectfully.
At first, Takuya agreed to keep her and Yukino, with one of her requirements being that she wear a princess's costume and personally hand over the Hokage hat at the Hokage succession ceremony. This was also a public expression of the daimyo's surrender to the Hokage.
"That's good. Let's go," Takuya said and walked out. Yukimi walked towards the Hokage Building behind him, surrounded by a group of servants.
"Grandma Haori, can you hurry up? We're going to be late," Kushina said anxiously to an old woman who was threading needles.
"Don't rush! It'll be ready soon," the old woman, called Granny Haori, slowly adjusted her reading glasses and continued to carry out the work at hand unhurriedly After some time, just when Kushina's red hair was fluttering and she couldn't help but get angry, Granny Haori finally completed her work.
"First Generation, Second Generation, Third Generation... I sewed all their Hokage cloaks myself. There can't be any mistakes in something so important..." Granny Haori kept mumbling. However, Kushina didn't have the patience to listen anymore. She picked up the Hokage cloak and rushed out of the room.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mito wore a rarely seen gorgeous outfit. This was what she wore when Hashirama became Hokage. Now, to express her importance, she wore it again. Tsunade led a group of sisters and followed Mito with their children in their arms. Today was a very grand day for the clan!
Mikoto also specially found a camera to take pictures of today's scenes as a souvenir.
In Konoha Village, the villagers all spontaneously held up banners and walked in groups towards the Hokage Building. In the ninja world, the Hokage succession ceremony is always the grandest event. Not to mention, today's successor to Hokage is Takuya, who is admired by countless ninjas.
