Hokage Master

After Shin's death, all of his clones were sent to be re-educated by Kabuto Yakushina. In fact, Naruto believed that it would be easier to kill everyone, yet the expression "no person - no problem" quite perfectly demonstrated his outlook on life. But only because of Sasuke and because of the strange logic of these kids - everything was resolved so well. It is amazing how easily they accepted the words of some stranger, and even followed him. Although, in the end, the Hokage still considered it a good acquisition, albeit potentially dangerous. A whole army of Sharingan owners could do something. In addition, Sasuke still took a few eyes from Shin's body, so there were not so few trophies from this battle.

Too bad the battle was too boring. Now all hope is on Ōtsutsuki.

Naruto planned to use the Chūnin Exams not only for fun, but also to make some moves against the "allied countries". The Council of Five will come earlier, naturally, but it will only be the first step. After the Ōtsutsuki defeat all the Kage, something much more interesting can be done.

After dealing with the Shin clones, the Hokage left Sasuke and moved on to his own business. The Uchiha had to meet with his family, and he decided not to refuse this opportunity. In a certain sense, Naruto insisted on this, and he also became the unwitting reason for the upcoming meeting. Still, Sasuke wanted to find out something about the changes in his friend and talk to Sakura about it. The Hokage himself refused to chatter on this topic, on the way he already told this annoying Uchiha a lot about the future and his Elements. In the end, simply citing business, he went home. He didn't even leave a clone in Konoha. In addition, it was time to meet his daughter at least once, so Sasuke had to agree. Although, he was obviously itching to move in search of traces of the Ōtsutsuki and find out the truth of Naruto's story. He really wanted to figure everything out, but since it turned out to be useless to interrogate a friend, he had to verify everything personally. He started with Sakura, oddly enough...

Capturing the Hidden Village... Every ruler's dream.

For the first time, Naruto was lucky. Konoha successfully tucked under his arm. Although, it could hardly be called luck, rather, a combination of circumstances. The very position of Hokage obliged him. But since the next objective required the capture of another village, he had to choose wisely. Fortunately, the situation allowed a lot, so that he knew literally every target, every ruler of any of the Hidden Villages, and all the more clearly identified every important link in the government of these villages. Starting from the Kage and ending with the heads of the clans, Naruto has long had a clear list of people suitable for submission.

With some villages, everything could not be so difficult. For example, with Iwagakure. Still, Kurotsuchi ruled her, and she, after all, was originally his target, regardless of position.

The beautiful and intelligent Tsuchikage... How could Naruto miss out on a woman like that? Only by subordinating it, he would practically have got the whole village into his hands, and there the entire Land of the Earth is within easy reach. It was God knows what was going on in the Land of Fire, but the other Kage kept the Daimyo in a tight grip. In essence, the control of the Hidden Village is the control of the whole country.

But the Hokage did not look for easy ways. Firstly, he was going to subdue Kurotsuchi a little later, just like Terumi Mei, and secondly, he wanted to test his submission jutsu in practice. For this reason, he was going to choose a weak village with a male leader - brainwash him and have a good practical experience. No wonder you spent so many days working on this jutsu? He liked to subjugate and corrupt girls, but he wanted to entertain himself in other ways. For this reason, Naruto abandoned the old goal - the Village Hidden under the Moon, because of its kunoichi ruler, and chose a different goal - the Village of the Hidden Rock!

The target was located between the Land of the Wind and the Land of the Earth. A very convenient position, since it is not so difficult to get to it. That is why, literally in a matter of hours, the Hokage crossed hundreds of kilometers and ended up in a rocky area, not far from Ishigakure.

Stopping in the center of the gorge, on a ridge of sharp rocky spikes jutting right out of the ground, Naruto lowered his strength and removed the veil of chakra. Finally, he arrived.

"Ha… Just a couple more kilometers to the west and I'll be there."

He chose the village Hidden in the Rock for a reason. In fact, this goal is not too difficult, but it fit well with his plan. As practice in Konoha has shown, subordination points can be obtained directly from the most important figures in the village, namely, representatives of the clans and the Kage himself. At least Naruto was sure of it. The case with Ino allowed him to draw certain conclusions, and although he was going to test them in his time on Tsunade and Tsuma, he did not want to delay and decided to arrange a test on a simpler specimen.

For this reason, Ishigakure was convenient to conquer, unlike other villages in which the number of clans and other strong and respected representatives complicated the work.

In the past, it was the factor of strength and reputation that caused doubts, because the Hokage was not clearly sure whether such individuals as Guy or Kakashi would give points. Without a doubt, in the Inuzuka clan, Tsume is much more respected than her son, but in terms of strength, she is definitely inferior to him. From this side, her submission could decide the distribution of points. In Ino's case, it was Sai who was definitely stronger than his wife, but was not the main representative of the clan. Therefore, due to these circumstances, it cannot be taken into account. Besides, even if Tsume succeeds, it won't answer the question about Kakashi. The clan is important, there is no doubt, but is it one of the main conditions? Can a huge reputation remove the need for clan affiliation?

In any case, the fact remained that Ino gave him points of subjugation of the village, not being the head of the clan and inferior in strength to Temari. At the same time, from the blood representatives, being the heir and the strongest among the relatives of Yamanaka, she was in the highest position of strength and reputation. Although, to some extent, this is debatable, given that many elders are also quite respected, but even they would give her their vote in any of the votings. For these old people, she was the undisputed leader. Naruto didn't doubt it at all.
