In the end, Minato agreed to become Toneri's guard captain.
As for other members of the escort team, they need to continue to be screened.
Therefore, now he is said to be the captain of the escort team, but in fact he is the only commander in chief.
Originally, Toneri was hesitating between the two positions of ANBU Captain and Guard Captain, but in the end he chose to make Minato the Guard Captain.
From his own point of view, he would rather not have a particularly powerful being in the ANBU than have a being in the ANBU that he may not be able to control.
The Anbu and the Roots, in Toneri's plan, must become two departments that he can control 100%.
What does it mean to have 100% control?
Just like the roots now.
After all, the ANBU is still interspersed with the presence and influence of too many members of Konoha's large and small families, so Toneri plans to draw one or two relatively powerful beings from the roots to manage the ANBU.
Not to mention turning Anbu into the same existence as Genbu, at least you are much better than you are now.
So the captain of the escort team is definitely the most suitable position for Minato.
At the critical moment, he can directly use the Flying Thunder God technique to drag Toner away and escape.
After the celebration meal to celebrate Minato's successful return from the battlefield, he and Kushina went to live their own world.
Toneri and Lingxiang also returned to the cattery where they had been locked up for some time.
The cattery has been cleaned again in the past few days and can be reopened at any time.
Now that Toneri's status as Hokage has influenced him, the sound of the cattery will probably get better and better.
And what Toneri had been waiting for for a long time, the psychic beast scroll was finally snatched back by Xiaolan and the others.
At the same time, a giant white fighting ninja cat named Nekomata was also presented.
This cat is special because the end of its tail is forked, so it looks like it has two tails, but it is not.
Its size is also the largest cat that Toner has ever seen. It is the largest cat except Erwei. If its body is completely enlarged to the limit, it can even be comparable to Erwei.
He is very fast, can freely control his body size, possesses chakra, and can freely use chakra and some special ninjutsu.
In head-on combat, he is comparable to a Jonin, and ordinary ninjas are really no match for him.
If it weren't for Xiaolan and the others who could use the tailed beast's chakra and become even more powerful, they might not be able to conquer it.
In addition to this, there are also all the ninja cats in Nekomata Castle. There are at least hundreds of ninja cats who can only use chakra well and can also speak human words.
Although his personality is somewhat bad, he is still a strong force. I believe that with the "kind" teachings of Xiaolan and the others, they should be able to correct their bad habits.
He and Reika came to the woods outside Konoha.
Looking at Xiaolan and the others with different shapes in front of them, which contain the chakra of the tailed beasts, and the huge white ninja cat Nekomata who is lying on the ground obediently with a look of "I am very good".
Toneri unfolded the huge psychic scroll directly on the ground and looked over it bit by bit from the beginning.
Nekomata's name is clearly mentioned above, but he is not the ninja cat signed at the beginning of this scroll.
"Oh, I have recorded a lot of cats, but let's start from the beginning." Toneri directly erased all traces on the scroll.
For a moment, Nekomata felt slightly panicked, because he clearly felt that all connections between himself and his subordinates had disappeared.
Toneri then left his own name in the first place of the scroll owner, where the name of an Uchiha clan member was originally written.
Then a strange feeling came over me.
Just like when he left his name on the scroll in Longdi Cave, he had a feeling.
But compared to how I felt then, I feel clearer now, as if I have mastered everything.
"You are so beautiful, it's your turn." Sheren said silently in his heart.
A blue and black kitten appeared on his shoulder.
Seeing this cat, the cat lying on the ground trembled again, and even put its head firmly on the ground.
The more powerful the cat, the more he can feel the almost instinctive suppression from Erwei.
What comes out is a little tsundere, but the result is the same.
Under Shiren, the psychic beast left his mark on the number one spot.
Later, Xiaolan and other cats also left their own marks on it, and finally Nekomata.
In this way, the basic construction of this cat psychic beast is almost completed. The next step is to gradually expand the number and types of cats recorded on the scroll.
In some races, as long as the first one signs the contract, all the descendants can be channeled.
"Xiaolan, I'll leave it to you to leave everyone's mark on it. Those ninja cats must pass the test and correct their bad habits before they are allowed to be recorded on it."
"good."
Finally, Sheren left the mark of Lingxiang in the column of contractors.
In this way, Lingxiang became the first signee of Toneri, another cat telepathic clan, and could theoretically channel any psychic cat recorded on the scroll except Erwei.
Like Xiaolan and the others, plus Nekomata, they have a proper Jonin-level combat power, which will definitely be of great help to the user.
By combining the intelligence system that Toneri laid down from the beginning and Nekomata's Ninja intelligence system, his intelligence capabilities will be even more powerful.
Another thing has been solved and I feel refreshed.
As for the place where this cat psychic beast race will live, he has already arranged it, which is located in the northernmost area of Tian Country near the sea.
Because it is close to the sea, it can be self-sufficient in food. At the same time, Tian Country is under Toneri's control, so it is not easy to be discovered.
This psychic beast race has just begun to be established, and there is still a long way to go. Supplementing the list and number on the scroll is only the first step, because Toneri has already controlled a large number of cats, so this is the simplest step.
step.
If you want to become a powerful psychic group that can compete with Miaomu Mountain, Ryūchi Cave and Shigu Forest, the most critical thing is the use of natural energy, that is, the use of fairy chakra.
What has an advantage over them is that Xiaolan and the others contain tail chakra, which is natural energy.
As long as other cats can start to try to contact and use it, we can initially build a group with a very high growth limit.
As for being able to compete with Myoboku Mountain, Ryūji Cave and Shigu Forest, it probably cannot be achieved in a year or two.
After dealing with these, we entered a period of comfort.
Because the war with Sunagakure Village and Iwagakure Village is over, most of the Konoha ninjas who were outside have returned, so the whole of Konoha suddenly became lively again.
The busiest streets are crowded with people every night.
Only after experiencing the arduous war period can we understand how hard-won peace is and how hard it needs to be cherished.
With more people, there are more things to do, and various tasks begin to appear. Konoha is in a state of rapid recovery.
As Hokage, Toneri is of course busier with his affairs, but fortunately, he has a shadow clone to help with government affairs. At the same time, Toneri also recruits Nara Shikaku, which is called training, but in fact it is just a coolie.
For example, the simplest but most numerous D-level tasks and C-level tasks, Toneri directly gave him full authority. He was only responsible for the arrangement of S-level, A-level and B-level tasks. The total of these three levels of tasks,
None of them have as many D-level missions.
Nara Shikaku was so busy that he couldn't even touch the ground every day, but he shared a lot of pressure on Toneri.
Toneri's body has been hiding in the laboratory under the Konoha cattery, doing some relatively secret experiments, trying to increase the content of Senju Hashirama cells in his body, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing his body.
Only by strengthening his body can he bear the weight of the only reincarnation eye in his hand.
Only by using the Rinnegan can you truly come into contact with the power of the Six Paths level, and then you can barely have a certain combat effectiveness in front of the Six Paths Madara and Otsutsuki Kaguya who may appear in the future.
But this leisurely time did not last long.
After the daimyo of the Fire Country learned that Konoha had replaced the Hokage and that the new Hokage had made great achievements on the battlefield, he remembered that he, as the daimyo of the Fire Country, had never seen this Hokage.
He didn't even acknowledge it personally, so this Hokage wasn't even considered Hokage.
Therefore, the Daimyo of the Fire Country sent an envoy to Konoha to summon Toneri, the newly appointed Hokage, to meet with the Daimyo in the capital of the Fire Country.
I originally thought it would be after the war was completely over, but since the Fire Country Daimyos were summoned and there happened to be nothing particularly important right now, Toneri didn't mind taking a walk.
After calling Ryoma to the base, Terai left Konoha and rushed towards the capital of the Fire Country.
To be honest, Toneri has been in Konoha for so long that he has seen a lot of capitals from other countries, but he has never seen the capitals of the Fire Country.
This is a good time to visit and experience it.
There is also the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, which is just a good way to see how different he is from the Daimyos of other countries.
Now that Konoha is almost under his control, there is no need to worry about someone sneaking up on him without Danzo.
And with his current strength, not many people are sure to defeat him.
In less than a day, before nightfall, we successfully arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Fire.
It has to be said that there is not only a big gap between big countries and small countries, but also a big gap between big countries.
Needless to say, the capital of the Country of Fields is simply the gap between a big city and a small town compared to the capital of the Country of Fire.
Even the Kingdom of Water is quite different from the Kingdom of Fire.
You can see the towering wall even before you get close.
After getting close, there were large groups of soldiers patrolling around the city wall.
If it weren't for Sheren's rather special status, he would probably have to go through some interrogation.
The capital of the Land of Fire is almost the largest city in the ninja world.
The overly weird technology tree in this ninja world makes this city feel a bit like a metropolis in the steam age.
Because the sun was setting when we arrived, many of the bars and dance halls with lively entertainment were already open, which made it feel like people were living in a state of drunkenness and wealth.
In the era that Toneri lives in today, we already have televisions, but they were not born for a long time, and even electricity was not yet popular in many places.
But Shiren obviously didn't want to pay too much attention to this.
Not long after he entered the capital of the Kingdom of Fire, several powerful ninjas appeared in front of him.
These ninjas all wore a white strip of cloth on their waists, with a red word "fire" embroidered on it.
These ninjas are somewhat famous in the entire ninja world.
The Twelve Ninjas who protect the Land of Fire.
The Twelve Guardian Ninjas are the twelve elite ninjas responsible for protecting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. They are a private and independent force directly under the Daimyo. They are very powerful and their symbol is the loincloth with the word "Fire" on their waists.
This is the personal armed force completely controlled by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
In Toneri's memory, his disciple Asuma will join this organization in the future and become one of the twelve guardian ninjas who protect the daimyo, which is why his bounty is as high as 35 million.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Hokage of Konoha are nominally subordinate.
But in fact, the relationship between the two parties is not so harmonious. One party controls the power, and the other party controls the justice and economy. Of course, there is a certain contradiction.
The twelve guardian ninjas are an organization established by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to defend Konoha.
Twelve elite jonin, to put it bluntly, are not necessarily opponents to ordinary shadow-level experts.
Especially among these elite Jonin, there are several who have the power to reach the level of Kage.
For example, in the future, Jilu and Sarutobi Asuma will be very strong.
With the strength of these twelve protective ninjas, the average small hidden village may not be able to withstand their attack.
And as the Fire Nation has a long history, it has not only ninjas, but also many powerful warriors. These people are also one of the most powerful places in the Fire Nation.
"You are the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, right? The daimyo has been waiting for a long time. Please come with us." There were six ninjas present, and the leader was a woman.
The Twelve Ninjas of the Guardian are all ninjas, but none of them wear forehead protectors that represent their status as ninjas. Their only symbol is the loincloth around their waists.
Six people vaguely surrounded the three Toneri in the middle. Judging from their appearance, they probably didn't take Toneri as the Hokage seriously at all.
They are ninjas who belong to the daimyo side. In their hearts, Naruto is a person whose existence is unnecessary. Whether it is the Land of Fire or the Hidden Leaf Village, they should be in the hands of the daimyo.
So naturally he didn't have a good look towards Sheren and the others.
They don't have a good look on themselves, and Shiren certainly won't tolerate them.
"Lead the way." He said calmly.
The six ninjas couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard the way this man spoke.
The few of them looked at each other, didn't say anything more, and just flew towards the Daming Mansion.
Don't stop even if you leave others behind.
He wanted to see what kind of person this great name from the Fire Country was.
The speed of their feet became faster and faster, and Ryoma and Terai followed behind Toneri silently, turning a blind eye to the six ninjas next to them.
Entering Daming Mansion, you can feel more presences carrying chakra aura.
The little tsundere appeared on Toneri's shoulder.
"Toneri, there are six more like the six next to us. They are not weak, but there are still many people with strong auras but weak chakra fluctuations." Erwei reminded.
Shiren nodded and said nothing.
After twisting and turning, he entered a room with a long table, and sitting at the head was none other than the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
One looks very white and slightly fat, with an unfolded fan-like headdress stuck behind his head. He holds a small fan in his hand, covering half of his face, and is fanning it gently.
On both sides of the table, there were two rows of tables, one side of which was full of people. They should be ministers with considerable power from the Country of Fire, such as the Minister of Finance and so on.
The row of seats on the other side was empty.
"Daimyo, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha has arrived." The ninja who led before bowed slightly and said.
In fact, she was not needed. After Toneri came in, the Fire Country Daimyo's eyes kept falling on Toneri.
"Those six auras are all around this room." Little Tsundere promptly reminded.
"Oh ho ho, this young guy must be the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, right? He is indeed young and promising," the daimyo said in a very exaggerated tone.
The voice was very sharp, sounding like a eunuch.
"Daimyo, I am the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. I have kept you waiting for a long time." Toneri said without being humble or overbearing, and walked to the first seat on his right.
Terai pulled out a chair and let him sit down.
Seeing Toneri's appearance, several ministers from the Fire Country across from him began to whisper.
It's just that they didn't expect that their way of speaking, which seemed to lower their voices, would actually sound like they were speaking with their throats open in front of Toneri.
The content is nothing more than a few.
Why do you look so young? How can you be so trustworthy? How dare you be so rude to a famous person and other trivial issues.
The daimyo's expression remained unchanged, his small fan covered half of his face, and his eyes scanned Toneri from top to bottom with an appreciative look.
In an instant, this look made Toneri's whole body goosebumps stand up, and he felt very bad.
"I heard that the Fourth Hokage made a splash on the battlefield some time ago and gained a lot of face for our Fire Nation." The daimyo's words seemed to be full of praise for Toneri, but his voice could not tell what he meant.
Happy or unhappy.
"Thank you Daimyo for your praise. All this is for the Country of Fire and Konoha."
Sheren is quite tactful and knows that if things can be solved by talking, don't do anything unless you can't help it.
"So, the war should be over soon?" Daming's eyes flashed with thought.
"Yes."
"Then this way, Konoha's financial expenditure won't be so big, right?"
Hearing this, Toneri frowned, and he understood what the name of the Fire Country wanted to do.
Want to cut Konoha's financial allocation?
Seeing Toneri frowning, sitting directly opposite him was the current Minister of Finance.
Yin Yang said angrily: "Our Fire Nation's expenditures in the past few years have been too great. If it continues like this, I'm afraid our Fire Nation won't be able to hold on for too long.
In my opinion, now that the war is over, some departments may not be that important anymore.
How about cutting funding?!"
After hearing this, regardless of the content of the words, this sinister tone was unacceptable to Shiren, let alone his words.
Toneri's Mangekyō Sharingan couldn't help but spin.
He suddenly raised his head and glared at the Finance Minister opposite.
"I'm talking to the Daimyo, how can you interrupt?!"
boom
The chair of the Finance Minister directly opposite Toneri was instantly shattered and exploded, and he flew out upside down with bleeding from his orifices.
Swish Swish Swish
Twelve figures appeared in the room, their auras all aimed at Toneri, taking out their ninja tools or assuming attack postures.
Ryoma, who was standing behind Toneri, opened his arms. Several clouds of black mist emerged from his sleeves and collar, floating around his body. If you looked closely, you could see tiny flying insects.
On the other side, Terai also pulled out the long knife from his back, and a trace of blue lightning danced on the long knife.
For a moment, the conference room, which originally looked pretty good, became tense.
