Walking through the alleys of the clan, Shigeru arrived at Hagoromo Zenitsu's house.
The second elder, Zenitsu, is now in charge of punishment and external intelligence for the family. Therefore, Shigeru's idea of supporting the puppet must be discussed with Zenitsu.
Of course, there's another reason, and that is that, of the entire Hagoromo clan, Zenitsu is the one he can truly trust.
This is not to say that Shigeru suspects other members of the family of being spies or traitors, but Shigeru's idea of supporting a puppet daimyo almost defies the public order and good morals of this world.
Once he expressed this idea, basically every member of the Hagoromo clan would tell him to drop the idea.
On the other hand, Zenitsu, who received the talent points for subordinates years ago, after so many years, his preference for Shigeru has almost reached its limit.
Whenever Shigeru proposes an idea, Zenitsu will support it unconditionally. From this perspective, Zenitsu is truly unique.
Therefore, Shigeru's dangerous idea of supporting the daimyo as a puppet must be discussed with Zenitsu.
After knocking on the door, a woman opened it.
"Hello, I'm here to see the second elder."
The woman nodded. "Hello, young patriarch, please come with me."
After saying that, the woman turned around and walked back into the courtyard, and Shigeru saw this and followed her.
At that moment, perhaps sensing Shigeru's arrival, Zenitsu left the room.
"Zenitsu-San." Shigeru smiled and waved.
Hagoromo Zenitsu also immediately replied, "Young clan leader."
Shigeru said, "I have something to talk to you about, let's go in and talk."
Hearing this, Zenitsu's expression tensed, and he immediately took Shigeru and entered the room.
After closing the door and sitting down, Zenitsu took the initiative and asked, "Young Patriarch, what's going on?"
Shigeru got straight to the point. "I plan to unify the world and achieve peace. However, to simplify things, I decided to support a daimyo as a puppet. Do you have any suggestions?"
"That?"
Even Zenitsu was stunned for a moment after hearing Shigeru's words.
After reacting, he looked at Shigeru with some uncertainty and asked, "Support a daimyo like a puppet?"
Shigeru nodded "That's right!"
After confirming that he had heard correctly, Zenitsu didn't reply or question, but instead began to think seriously.
Seeing this scene, Shigeru nodded silently in his heart.
As expected, this kind of matter must be discussed with someone so loyal. If he seeks out his father, Ryokawa, the other party might try to convince him to give up the idea and not drag the Hagoromo clan down with him to be buried with him.
After more than ten seconds, Zenitsu raised his head and said, "Young Patriarch, this plan to support the puppets may not be feasible."
"Oh yeah? Why?" Shigeru frowned slightly.
Zenitsu explained, "According to the information I have on hand, no matter how small the power of the daimyo is, they will not be at the mercy of others. The weak-willed daimyo died long ago in this war-torn world, and the remaining great names are people of high intelligence or with strong personalities. No matter what kind of people they are, they will not be willing to be manipulated."
At that moment, Shigeru couldn't help but remain silent. What Zenitsu said seemed to make sense.
"How about we use a genjutsu to slowly hypnotize him?" Shigeru asked.
Zenitsu shook his head. "No matter how brilliant the genjutsu is, there's a chance they'll see it, so using genjutsu isn't a good option."
Zenitsu's words made Shigeru think again.
Supporting a weak daimyo is not possible, and using genjutsu will easily lead to failure, so what should we do?
!!
Suddenly, Shigeru had another idea, "Can we create a name ourselves?"
"What do you mean?" Zenitsu was confused.
Shigeru said, "Since we can't find a daimyo with a weak personality, and the use of genjutsu is prone to failure, then why don't we find an ordinary, reliable person and allow him to take a place as daimyo?"
After hearing Shigeru's thoughts, Zenitsu couldn't help but light up his eyes, this was a good idea.
However, he then thought of another question, "But now, all the valuable places already have daimyo."
Being a daimyo doesn't mean you can just find a place to allocate land and say you're a daimyo.
If you want to become a daimyo, you must first have a certain number of subjects and, second, a city. Only when the position you occupy is valuable can you be considered a daimyo.
Today, most valuable land around the world already has an owner. Therefore, it's unrealistic to simply find an empty plot of land to occupy and become famous.
However, at Zenitsu's question, Shigeru waved his hand and said, "It's a simple matter, let's just take one."
Hagoromo Zenitsu "…"
The topic was discussed.
Theft is not to be undertaken lightly. If someone discovers that the Hagoromo clan is seizing territory to establish their own daimyo, other daimyo will likely join forces and hire Senju and Uchiha to destroy them.
After all, as long as you're not a fool, you'll take the strongest measures to stop those things that threaten your government.
Therefore, its operation must be carefully planned.
Finally, after a period of discussion, the two finalized the plan to seize land and establish a famous name.
In a nutshell, this plan is divided into three main steps.
The first step is to find an ordinary, low-key member of the Hagoromo clan and let him carry out this plan.
After all, daimyo are ordinary people and do not possess chakra, so they must find a common clan member.
The second step is to find a suitable daimyo and find a way to have him name the Hagoromo clan member as his successor.
The third step is to kill the daimyo and make the Hagoromo clan member the new daimyo.
Although this plan seems simple, the details are still difficult to address.
For example, they now need to find a suitable ordinary clan member to be the daimyo.
This common clan member must not only be bold and careful, but also have a good brain. Otherwise, if he encounters someone who is a little clever, he'll easily cause trouble.
