That night!
While Uchiha Shin was favoring his harem of imperial consorts, the Kage of the major ninja villages were also sleepless.
"Uchiha Shin has declared himself emperor!! Should I follow suit?!"
After reading the intelligence, Rasa was excited but didn't lose his reason, instead falling into deep thought!
He was quite different from Uchiha Shin.
Uchiha Shin single-handedly seized the position of Hokage from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After that, he successively defeated Danzo, the Daimyo's Mansion, and Kumogakure.
It could be said that his prestige was established through one battle after another.
His power was also absolute. Since he succeeded the throne...
But Rasa was different.
He hadn't achieved any remarkable results.
Even the attack on the Daimyo's Mansion was pushed forward by the interest groups of Sunagakure, who were jealous of Konoha's gains.
Moreover, when attacking the Capital of the Wind, he wasn't as unstoppable as Uchiha Shin, defeating the Daimyo's Mansion single-handedly.
Instead, he fought the Daimyo's Mansion for three whole days.
Relying on a powerful ninja army, he defeated the Daimyo's Mansion's ninja and samurai army.
In this war, he might have had some credit, but it wasn't significant.
Therefore, he had a premonition.
If he declared himself emperor!
Many people in Sunagakure would probably oppose him!
Because the imperial system was like the Daimyo system.
It was a hereditary rule!
If Rasa were allowed to become emperor, passing it down from generation to generation!
It would mean that others would never have a chance at the Kage position again, remaining subjects for generations!
This was something they would not allow!
However, Rasa was not prepared to give up just like that.
"No matter what, I have to try!"
Rasa's gaze became firm!
Soon, Rasa convened a Sunagakure Jonin meeting.
"Just today, Uchiha Shin declared himself emperor in Konoha!"
Rasa said in a deep voice.
"Declared himself emperor?!!"
Although this world operated under the Daimyo system, they were not unfamiliar with terms like emperor.
For a moment, everyone frowned.
So what if Uchiha Shin declared himself emperor?
What did it have to do with them?
Could it be that seeing him become emperor, you also have such thoughts!
"So, Lord Fourth, what exactly are you trying to say??"
A Jonin asked tentatively!
"We must keep up with Konoha's progress, so I am preparing to ascend the throne and declare myself emperor!!"
Rasa said in a deep voice.
"My Land of Wind has its own national conditions. How can we be like Konoha in everything!"
"I object!!"
As soon as Rasa finished speaking, the whole room was in an uproar, and then one person stood up abruptly, bluntly opposing Rasa's declaration as emperor.
"I also object! Our Sunagakure is fine as it is now, there's no need for an imperial system!!"
"Rasa, if you become emperor! What about us? Do you want our families to be your subjects for generations? Are you worthy?!!"
At this time, a clan head slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily!
"If Uchiha Shin can do it, why can't I? The Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, Inuzuka, and other clans are willing to honor Uchiha Shin as king, so why aren't you willing!"
Rasa said coldly.
"Pah, you are worthy of being compared to Uchiha Shin? When Uchiha Shin rose, he first killed the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and wiped out the three major clans. Then he killed Danzo, eliminated the Daimyo's Mansion, and finally killed the Fourth Raikage, captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and defeated Kumogakure!"
"Which time did he not take the lead, establishing his unshakeable position through battles!"
"Rasa, what great achievements have you made!"
"Who have you killed??"
That clan head scolded Rasa mercilessly.
"I can kill you right now!"
Rasa slammed the table and stood up, glaring at the clan head!
"I'm afraid you can't do it!!"
The clan head sneered.
The next moment, countless people stood up, standing on the same front as him.
"You..." Rasa had thought there would be resistance, but he didn't expect it to be this great.
The number of people who stood up directly to oppose him reached thirty percent.
The remaining seventy percent, although not openly opposing him, few were willing to let him become emperor.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room became tense.
Ahem!!
At this time, Granny Chiyo coughed.
"Why don't you all listen to this old woman's opinion?"
Granny Chiyo spoke up.
"Granny Chiyo, you are a senior of our Sunagakure, we are willing to listen to your opinion!"
Hearing this, everyone glanced at Chiyo and immediately expressed their stance.
"In that case, Granny Chiyo, what brilliant idea do you have?"
Rasa asked in a deep voice.
"A king's land has always been won by himself, but you clearly don't have that kind of merit and strength."
"In that case, if you want to ascend the throne, you need support!"
"Let's vote. If more than seventy percent of the people present agree to you becoming emperor, then you become emperor. If not even seventy percent agree,"
"you'd better wash up and go to sleep!"
Granny Chiyo said in a deep voice.
"Good, in that case, let's vote. Those who agree with me becoming emperor, please raise your hands!"
Rasa's voice fell.
A rustling sound was heard, but only a sparse few raised their hands.
Just a dozen or so ninja raised their hands in agreement.
And those who raised their hands were almost all his confidants.
The remaining more than eighty percent of ninja did not agree to Rasa becoming emperor.
Looking at this scene, Rasa's face was ashen.
"Rasa, you see the result!"
Granny Chiyo said.
"Hmph!"
Rasa snorted coldly.
"Since this is everyone's opinion, then so be it!"
After speaking, Rasa left the meeting room without looking back!
Meanwhile!!
Iwagakure!
"Father, Uchiha Shin has declared himself emperor in Konoha. Do you have any thoughts of becoming an emperor?"
After receiving the news, Kitsuchi immediately came to Onoki and asked.
"Do you really want me to become emperor?"
Onoki frowned and looked at Kitsuchi.
His ambition to become emperor was not great.
He grew up in the hidden village, became the Tsuchikage, and was already satisfied. Now he had also seized the power of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, controlling both military and political power.
At this point, he had no greater ambition.
If he had to find one, it was that he wanted to surpass Konoha and become the world's number one, not to become an emperor.
"Yes, father. If you become king, then the Land of Earth will forever belong to our Kamizuru clan!"
A trace of ambition also flashed in Kitsuchi's eyes.
"Have you forgotten how we destroyed the Daimyo's Mansion??"
Onoki shook his head!
"Times have changed! It has become more realistic, more bloody!"
"If you don't have strength, you might be overthrown by others tomorrow."
"Ending up like the Daimyo's Mansion, with the whole clan exterminated!!"
"Then why does Uchiha Shin dare!!"
Kitsuchi said unwillingly!
"Look at how old he is now! Only sixteen! Calculating based on Hiruzen Sarutobi, he has at least fifty years of peak period!"
"Moreover, behind him are the Uchiha, and the Uchiha clan has never lacked geniuses!"
"In Konoha, who can shake his throne!"
Onoki shook his head.
"Are we just going to give up this opportunity like this??"
Kitsuchi said unwillingly.
"If you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight! I am old and won't last many more years, and your strength is not enough."
"You can't hold onto the position of emperor!"
"Give up this unrealistic idea!"
Onoki shook his head!
In fact, with his prestige in Iwagakure, there would be absolutely no problem if he wanted to ascend the throne and declare himself emperor.
There would definitely be no awkward situation like Rasa's.
However, he was still clear-headed.
He knew that the throne was not so easy to sit firmly on.
Even if he could sit firmly, his descendants might not be able to.
After all, with the fall of the Daimyo's Mansion, the strong of this world no longer believed in the divine right of kings!
They only believed in whether their fists were hard enough.
And his descendants had mediocre talent and insufficient strength.
Forcing his way onto the throne would only harm his descendants.
Kumogakure!
The Fifth Raikage, Darui, had just succeeded to the position, and his foundation was not yet stable.
At this time, he only wanted to secure his position as Raikage as soon as possible, not thinking about ascending the throne as emperor.
When Mabui came to ask him what he thought, he just replied faintly: "Keep everything as it is!"
