Chapter 207
After that, the question of the Fifth Hokage was completely closed.
During the discussion, Hiruzen did not raise any objections, whether it was strength, supporters, or the merits of Yeruashi, all of which were far beyond what he could deal with right now.
The change of the Hokage takes some time, first you need to inform the Daimyo of the Land of Fire about this and only then you can hold the inauguration in Konoha, but in fact, Yeruashi already has all the powers of the Fifth Hokage.
Even before the official inauguration ceremony, Yeruashi had already shown that he was radically different from the Fourth Hokage, without hesitation resorting to the harshest measures!
First order...
Disbandment of the Anbu!
The current Anbu Konoha can be considered the personal forces of Hiruzen, there are almost all the supporters and most loyal followers of the Third Hokage. The Anbu needed a long study and a gradual clean-up, but Yeruashi was too lazy to do anything like that.
The order to disband the Anbu was met with strong objections from the followers of Hiruzen, but these objections were meaningless in the face of the Yeruashi and the clan leaders.
The Anbu has always had great power and authority.
Much higher than the rest of the departments.
Even shinobi of large clans can be directly transferred to the Anbu, without the need to obtain permission from the family, so the dissolution of the Anbu was unanimously supported by all the heads of the clans.
In fact, the Anbu is a means of maintaining the power of the Hokage, allowing him to hold the position firmly, regardless of the circumstances, but Yeruashi does not need something like that.
The deterrent effect of the giant fox lying next to Konoha completely surpasses all of Anbu's powers.
The disbanding of the Anbu was done in a few days, followed by a purge of the Shinobi who continued to stubbornly support Hiruzen.
In just ten days, all the most ardent supporters of the Third Hokage were eradicated, which deprived Hiruzen of the last power and marked his retirement.
For these few days.
Hiruzen seemed to have aged ten years.
Yeruashi didn't feel any remorse because of this, because his father's death was connected to the upper layers of Konoha, including Koharu and Homura.
At the same time, after the purge of Hiruzen's supporters, many vacant positions appeared in Konoha. Yeruashi was already ready for this, starting to fill them with talented Shinobi selected from the large Konoha clans.
Hiruzen had a policy of suppressing large clans.
But Yeruashi doesn't need it.
His terrifying personal strength provides absolute stability to the Hokage's status.
Yeruashi had no intention of controlling the power and influence of the clans, and if any of the clans were too bold, he could just go and have a heart-to-heart talk with the fox.
Shikaku Nara was appointed assistant to the Hokage, responsible for handling Konoha's daily affairs, Shinku Yuhi was put in charge of Konoha's finances, he took over the management of the matters left behind after Koharu and Homura were suspended...
So gradually there was a distribution of the vacant positions.
Yeruashi was fully entrenched in the post of Hokage, even before the official announcement and inauguration.
...
Hyuga Clan territory.
Today, the Hyuga Clan held a celebration.
Today, a month has passed since the birth of the daughter of the Head of the Hyuga Clan, as in the case of Sasuke, a holiday was held, to which numerous high-ranking officials of Konoha arrived.
In the room.
Yeruashi held the baby in his arms with a smile: "Not afraid of me at all, it seems only a little shy...what did you call it?" The head of Hiashi.»
Hinata sucked on a tiny finger and looked shyly at Yeruashi, but she didn't get scared or cry when she was in the stranger's arms.
It was a perfectly normal reaction.
Yeruashi, who has the Body of a Sage, radiates a very soft and calm natural energy, giving the unconscious infant an instinctive sense of intimacy and peace.
"We have already thought about it, but we have not made a final decision.»
Hiashi smiled, " Hanabi and Hinata, which of these names do you think is better suited?»
"Hmm...Hinata's name sounds very nice.»
Yeruashi smiled and handed Hinata Hiashi.
Hiashi gently picked her up.
Once in her father's arms, Hinata lost the atmosphere of natural energy and immediately began to cry, at first Hiashi tried unsuccessfully to calm her down, and then he handed her over to his wife and looked at Yeruashi a little awkwardly: "She was always scared and cried in my arms from birth, you are the first person, except for her mother, in whose arms she behaved so calmly.»
"She's just scared of your sullen face.»
Yeruashi smiled, not saying anything about the natural energy, and left the room.
With the birth of Hinata, Konoha Twelve is now fully assembled, with the exception of those from civilian families, Haruno Sakura and Rock Lee, who was supposed to be born last year, Yeruashi has not heard anything about them yet.
Yeruashi was of course invited to the birthday celebrations of all the heads of the big clans, but he didn't dare to be too idle and usually refused, spending most of his free time cultivating the Sage's Body and practicing the Thunder Gate.
On the street.
Seeing Yeruashi come out, all the guests present at the feast immediately rushed to greet him. Although Yeruashi has not yet officially become a Hokage, but after the Daimyo of the Land of Fire did not express any objections to his candidacy, this news quickly spread throughout Konoha.
There are ten days left until the inauguration ceremony and the official formation of Yeruashi as the Fifth Hokage, but his face is already being carved on the Hokage Rock.
"Lord Yeruashi.»
"Lord Hokage.»
Some Shinobi already treated Yeruashi as a Hokage.
Hyuga Hiashi was standing next to Yeruashi.
Yeruashi's arrival at the celebration of his daughter's birth means that he pays great attention to relations with the Hyuga Clan, in addition, during the last reallocation of positions, he gave the Hyuga Clan almost complete control over the perception department.
The authority and influence of this department is very great. At first glance, it seems that the task of this department is simply to send Shinobi to the border, to control the movements of enemy forces, but in fact, the perception department is also responsible for monitoring the movements inside Konoha.
The transfer of such important responsibilities undoubtedly demonstrates Yeruashi's trust and attention to the Hyuga Clan, combined with this visit to the celebration, it is safe to say that the Hyuga Clan will actively develop in the future.
It was only a bit of a pity that the eldest son of the Head of the Uchiha Clan became a disciple of Yeruashi.
Therefore, the Uchiha clan, as before, has a higher status than the Hyuga Clan, in addition, now they not only control the Konoha Military Police, but also formed a special elite squad, reporting directly to Yeruashi, he took on some of the duties previously assigned to the Anbu.
It seems that the Hyuga Clan will have to go through a very long and thorny path to surpass the Uchiha Clan and become the first clan of Konoha.
