Chapter 207 (1/2)
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.
In fact, the Anbu is a means of maintaining the power of the Hokage, allowing him to hold the position firmly, regardless of the circ.u.mstances, 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.
