"I heard the Hyuga Clan is already preparing for him to take over, so befriending him is a good choice." Koharu advised Kazuki.
"Even though you are very powerful, and perhaps no one in the current Ninja World is your match, it's impossible to manage a village well without help from others."
"Yes, I understand, aunt Koharu." Kazuki had no complaints about Koharu on this point.
He knew this was Koharu's concern and advice for him.
"The Hyuga, Uchiha, Sarutobi, and Ino–Shika–Chō are all the top clans in Konoha. You don't need them all to work for you, but at least you need to ensure they don't reject you."
After a pause, Koharu continued, "However, compared to Kagami and the others, you are much luckier. There are actually not many obstacles left for you to become Hokage. The biggest obstacle might be the Daimyo."
"The Daimyo? Actually, the Daimyo is the least of my worries." Kazuki shook his head slightly.
"If they are willing to cooperate, then they can have a good life. If they are not sensible, then they can't blame me. Their hidden trump cards, while somewhat tricky, are not entirely insurmountable. I believe other villages, upon seeing our successful move against the Daimyo, will not remain indifferent."
No Ninja Village truly likes the Daimyo.
Koharu nodded slightly and said, "If you are confident in dealing with the Daimyo, then there's not much more I can say. You are a mature child, and I believe you can maintain your sense of proportion. After all, for us, Konoha is more important than our own lives. For the past few decades, we have been fighting for Konoha."
"I know."
Kazuki didn't care whether Koharu had any selfish motives or not. Ultimately, she was one of his own. As long as she didn't go too far, he wouldn't say much. After all, if you want others to follow you, you have to give them benefits.
You can't genuinely believe the Will of Fire can save everything, can you?
Kazuki himself didn't believe it.
"I just don't know how Hiruzen will deal with Danzo this time." Koharu sighed again, then said.
"Who knows?" Kazuki's eyes flickered slightly.
Mito's life was nearing its end recently. Madara also knew that Mito might not have the energy to envelop all of Konoha with her good and evil perception. Perhaps because of this, recently, Kazuki had encountered many White Zetsu within Konoha, but he had not found all of them. He also didn't know what Madara and the others were preparing.
"Oh, by the way, the Konoha Military Police Force has been a bit unruly lately. I think it's necessary for you to take over the Uchiha Clan as soon as possible." Following that, Koharu sighed helplessly.
"The city guard, well, they're always unpopular." Kazuki shook his head noncommittally.
"Once I become Hokage, the Konoha Military Police Force will no longer need to exist. The Second Hokage, out of fear of the Uchiha Clan and also to not embarrass the Uchiha Clan, established the Konoha Military Police Force, but this created a rift between the village and the Uchiha."
"Abolish the Konoha Military Police Force?"
Koharu instinctively wanted to object, but just as she was about to speak, she realized that the young man in front of her was an Uchiha.
This made her unable to speak. It seemed that once Kazuki became the Uchiha clan head and then Hokage, their previous policy of isolating the Uchiha would become unnecessary.
Is there any need to isolate the Hokage's clan?
"Yes, Konoha will need reforms then." Kazuki's eyes deepened.
"At that time, I will need your support."
"If it benefits Konoha, I will support it. If it's too reckless, even if you are Kazuki, I will object." Koharu looked at Kazuki with a serious expression.
She was serious about this. You could say she was afraid of death and loved money, but you couldn't deny her love for Konoha. At least during her time as a Konoha elder, she was very competent. In this regard, she did much better than Danzo and Homura.
"I know." Kazuki's eyes grew even deeper.
He would later convey some of his thoughts. It was time for some different ideology to spread throughout the Ninja World.
No matter who you are, as long as you are willing to resist the Daimyo, I, Kazuki, can acknowledge you.
This is a true warrior!
If you don't even dare to challenge the rules of the world, what kind of warrior are you?
Those rogue ninja even dared to assassinate their own Kage, but why were there so few who dared to act against the Daimyo?
Ultimately, they just hadn't broken out of their own mindset.
…
The next day, Kazuki got out of bed, yawned, and was about to wash up and go to Mikoto's place for breakfast.
Recently, Mikoto had been in charge of his breakfast, and even Kazuki's home had been taken over by her. Cleaning, laundry, and everything else were handled by her.
Mikoto indeed had the demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother. In this regard, she was much better than Kushina.
As for Rinka, that young lady never lifted a finger.
At this moment, Kazuki sensed that his Flying Thunder God Mark had been activated. After silently sensing the location of the Flying Thunder God Mark, he knew that it was the Flying Thunder God Mark he had given to Hiruzen earlier, which Hiruzen had activated.
This was something he had specifically given to Hiruzen before Hiruzen left Konoha. He was worried that Danzo would become desperate and attack Hiruzen. He hadn't expected Danzo to actually make a move.
Kazuki immediately put on his clothes, and with a flash, his figure disappeared from the room.
