No.
This person is far more extreme than Shimura Danzo.
Even Shimura Danzo wouldn't shout for killing in such a meeting; at most, he'd cast a fierce and intimidating look to silence everyone.
"Kagura..."
Tsunade sternly stopped Akihara Kagura.
"Lady Tsunade."
Akihara Kagura glanced at Tsunade, puzzled, and continued, "Is Lady Tsunade stopping me because she wants to cover up the crimes of the noble ministers?"
"..."
Tsunade was immediately at a loss for words.
"Well, the matter of killing will be discussed after the meeting..."
Mitokado Homura quickly interjected, taking the initiative: "The purpose of this meeting is to elect Konoha's Fifth Hokage. We propose Lady Tsunade to serve as the Fifth Hokage..."
"Does anyone have any objections?"
Akihara Kagura looked around at the noble ministers present, repeating Mitokado Homura's words: "We propose Lady Tsunade as the Fifth Hokage. If anyone has a different opinion, please speak up, as the appointment of the Hokage must ultimately be sanctioned by the Daimyo..."
"..."
None of the noble ministers dared to speak up.
This woman, Tsunade...
Killed her creditor and now has brought a killing god to force her way!
No one would think this was Akihara Kagura acting on his own, as he's always protecting Tsunade's interests, and Tsunade happens to be his supervisor...
"It seems there's no opposition..."
Akihara Kagura scanned the room, his gaze falling on the Daimyo.
"Kagura, let me speak."
Tsunade rubbed her forehead, deeply realizing how much help this Hokage assistant could bring her and how much trouble it could also cause.
"Please don't mind Kagura's jokes."
Tsunade looked at the noble ministers present: "If you have any objections, feel free to voice them; I can address your doubts regarding Konoha and the Hokage..."
"Then may I ask..."
A minister who clearly didn't quite understand spoke up.
Clang!
The sound of sheathing a sword was so sharp!
That it caused everyone present to shiver!
The minister immediately became humble, cautiously asking: "I would like to know when Lady Tsunade will hold the Hokage succession ceremony..."
"..."
Tsunade fell silent.
The Daimyo covered his face with a fan, not daring to speak.
The meeting ended with everyone on edge, and all the noble ministers of the Land of Fire knew that the newly appointed Fifth Hokage was not someone to be trifled with; none dared to object to Tsunade succeeding as the Fifth Hokage.
However...
The appointed Tsunade seemed not too pleased.
Yet...
This ordeal wasn't over.
After the meeting ended.
Everyone planned to leave immediately.
Akihara Kagura stopped everyone from leaving, proactively asking: "Can't this meeting last a bit longer? Our people haven't delivered the charges against those few, and if I kill now, it might seem like undue killing of innocents?"
"!!!"
Everyone present was somewhat shocked!
"Wait..."
The Finance Minister of the Land of Fire looked at Akihara Kagura, somewhat incredulous, and quickly asked: "Didn't we raise no objections to Lady Tsunade succeeding as the Fifth Hokage?"
"That's a different matter."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, proactively reminding them: "Your attitude towards Konoha today wasn't respectful enough, and I suspect you might withhold Konoha's financial budget or even hinder us during wartime, especially now when Konoha is about to enter the stage of war with the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village..."
"!!!"
This statement was like a bombshell!
Many people present turned their gaze towards Akihara Kagura!
"I wasn't aware!"
Tsunade was shocked and looked at Akihara Kagura incredulously.
"Why initiate a war?"
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire looked at Akihara Kagura, a bit baffled.
"Why not initiate a war?"
Akihara Kagura seemed even more amazed than them, looking at them in surprise: "The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village colluded with Orochimaru to assassinate the Third Hokage, shouldn't they be punished?"
After Akihara Kagura finished speaking, he looked at the two Hokage Advisors: "The two Hokage Advisors have also agreed to initiate a war against the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village..."
"This..."
Mitokado Homura hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
Utatane Koharu nodded, more decisive than Mitokado Homura, saying softly: "Regarding Sarutobi's sacrifice, we do need to punish the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village, our former allies, but it's too early to talk about this now; those villages have constantly been sending envoys for negotiations..."
"Then it seems like negotiations could solve the problem..."
Tsunade touched her chin, pondering thoughtfully.
"Even if negotiating, necessary punishment for the two villages is required."
Akihara Kagura shook his head and casually mentioned the two Hokage Advisors: "This is also the opinion of the two Hokage Advisors; the Third Hokage's peace policy in the Ninja World has predictably become inappropriate; we need to make some changes..."
"This..."
Mitokado Homura hesitated again, not knowing how to proceed.
This time, Utatane Koharu also hesitated for a moment before nodding again: "We did discuss this matter, and at the time, Kagura's arguments made sense..."
"We'll discuss it when we get back."
Tsunade nodded, interrupting Utatane Koharu's words.
"Then I'll kill them first..."
Akihara Kagura immediately stood up, drawing his ninja sword.
"No, no, no!"
A group of ministers from the Land of Fire quickly extended their palms, signaling Akihara Kagura to sit down: "We can sit down and discuss slowly, talk here about punishing the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village; war is ultimately not a trivial matter..."
The meeting room suddenly became bustling.
This group of ministers from the Land of Fire whispered among each other, discussing the possibility of war with the two villages, financial support seemed feasible.
Perhaps seeing the Hokage assistant from Konoha and the two Hokage Advisors supporting war made them think Konoha had already decided to wage war against the two villages; they occasionally sneaked glances at Konoha's ninjas, surprisingly not questioning the war but discussing the resulting issues and situations they might face during it.
"..."
Tsunade watched this scene, feeling a headache.
Tsunade looked at Akihara Kagura but saw him merely listening with interest to the ministers' discussions, then looked at the two Hokage Advisors who only frowned, not raising any questions.
"Is there something not quite right?"
Tsunade rubbed her forehead, feeling her first day as Hokage was full of trouble; even without the Hokage ceremony, she had to face the possibility of war.
Especially...
The two other villages already want negotiations.
Don't these guys know the harshness of the Ninja World Wars?
As someone who experienced the sorrow of two Ninja World Wars, Tsunade didn't want to initiate another war at this moment, especially since she wasn't particularly clear about Konoha's situation!
"Stop arguing!"
Tsunade looked at the noisy ministers, punching the table, which shattered into pieces, silencing everyone.
Tsunade glanced at Akihara Kagura and the two Hokage Advisors, commanding in a deep voice: "We'll discuss the matter of war when we return. I'm the Hokage!"
"This... can be done."
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu exchanged a glance.
Because Tsunade's proposal aligned with their thoughts; they were forced to agree to Akihara Kagura's bold statements but could borrow this chance to delay.
"Agreed."
Akihara Kagura nodded, unexpectedly going along: "The Root is also preparing the offerings, and tomorrow I should be able to use the Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect several Hokages, then we can have the deceased Third Hokage speak..."
"After all..."
"The Third Hokage is the victim of this turmoil."
