#118 - Chapter 118: A tyrant? A fox demon named Daji beside the daimyo?

"Since you understand, let's go to the council chamber then."

Naruto finished speaking and turned to walk in one direction, and Koyuki hurriedly followed.

Soon, the two arrived at the council chamber.

Koyuki sat in the main seat, while Naruto and Sasuke stood calmly on either side.

In fact, Koyuki's heart was still somewhat conflicted at this moment.

Although she had confirmed that Naruto possessed a 'mind-reading' ability, others were unaware of it.

If she killed them directly in front of everyone, it would more or less affect her reputation as a monarch.

But then she thought,

Which is more important, reputation or life?

Which is more important, reputation or Naruto?

Anyway, as long as it doesn't harm the people, it's just a little reputation, what does it matter?

As an actress, Koyuki's greatest pride isn't her acting skills, but her mental fortitude!

She wasn't the kind of actress who debuted at her peak.

When she first started acting, she received a lot of criticism from others.

Especially regarding her inability to film crying scenes, which was always criticized!

However, with the huge success of the 'Princess Gale's Adventure' series, she became a well-known actress, and since then, no one has ever questioned her acting skills!

'The Self-Cultivation of a Monarch' once said that a monarch must have their own authority! What they say is law!

As the monarch of the Snow Country, Fūka Koyuki, why should I care about other people's criticisms when doing the right thing?!

Before long,

the palace guards, maids, and even the kitchen cooks were all summoned to the council chamber.

Everyone didn't know what Koyuki was going to do, but no one was too worried.

After all, Koyuki had always played the role of a gentle monarch.

Such Fūka Koyuki was more like a princess than a monarch!

Gentle, kind, and completely incompatible with the position she now inherited.

However, they soon realized their mistake!

Koyuki was a gentle monarch, that was true, but Naruto was not a gentle bodyguard!

He listened to the inner thoughts of these servants one by one, and sure enough, he discovered several traitors!

After calling those people out, Naruto killed them without saying a word.

This scene startled everyone!

They thought Naruto was going to kill them all, but fortunately, Koyuki spoke up to appease them, telling them that these people were spies who had been discovered and that she wouldn't kill people indiscriminately, which calmed them down.

But Naruto then grabbed a few more people and killed them, which immediately stirred up the emotions of those people.

Especially the captain of the Third Guard, who looked at his subordinates being killed 'for no reason', his face filled with anger.

"Why? Why kill them?"

"If you can produce any evidence, I have nothing to say, but you have no evidence and yet you kill people again and again!"

The captain of the Third Guard pointed at Naruto and questioned him.

"I don't need evidence to do things," Naruto said indifferently, his tone flat.

"Don't need evidence? Heh, what great authority you have!"

The captain of the Third Guard stepped forward, knelt on one knee, clasped his fist, and said to Koyuki, "Great Daimyo, do you also think so? If you also think so, then please forgive this subordinate for resigning from the position of guard captain!"

"This......"

Koyuki was a little at a loss, encountering this situation for the first time.

At this time, Naruto said lightly: "Are you threatening the Daimyo?"

The captain of the Third Guard's face suddenly changed, and he quickly said: "This subordinate dares not, this subordinate just......"

Before he finished speaking, Naruto kicked him away, slamming him heavily into the wall, causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground!

"Captain!"

The other guards quickly went to check on his condition.

It could be seen that this captain of the Third Guard was a very good elder brother.

But... Naruto didn't need such a charismatic and loyal subordinate!

In the next two years, he wanted to turn the Snow Country into his private domain.

Such a person in the Daimyo's mansion would only bring him trouble.

"This place really doesn't need a guard captain as weak as you, considering that you didn't have any rebellious thoughts, I won't kill you, you can leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto heard the inner thoughts of some other people, so he added, "Those who want to leave with him can also leave, don't think the Daimyo's mansion lacks you trash who don't even know when enemies invade!"

"You!"

Someone wanted to refute, but the captain of the Third Guard endured the pain and stopped him.

"He's right, we are the guard team but we can't protect the Daimyo at all, what's the difference between staying here and being trash?"

"Captain!"

"Let's go!"

There is no thirty years east of the river, no thirty years west of the river.

For a samurai like the captain of the Third Guard, his strength at this age was already his peak.

He used to be just a guard in the Daimyo's mansion, and after more than ten years, he had only gone from being a guard to being a guard captain.

Even if he was given another thirty years, he would at most go from being a guard captain to being an old guard captain.

After driving away the captain of the Third Guard, Naruto looked at the remaining people.

Then he pointed to one of the men who looked relatively rough and said, "You will be responsible for the security of the Daimyo's mansion from now on."

"Me?"

The man was first overjoyed, but soon realized one thing, Naruto was not the Daimyo!

He had no power to appoint!

So the man looked at Koyuki again.

Koyuki nodded belatedly, "It's you, what's your name?"

"Thank you, Great Daimyo! This subordinate is called Sasaki!" Sasaki was overjoyed.

"Someone......"

Koyuki rewarded Sasaki with some things and officially appointed him as the new guard captain.

Then she looked at Naruto and whispered, "Lord Naruto, are there any more spies?"

"No, let the remaining people leave," Naruto said.

Koyuki breathed a sigh of relief,

more than sixty people came to the council chamber, and Naruto killed more than twenty!

She was really worried that Naruto would kill everyone!

But if it weren't for Naruto, she would never have imagined that so many people in her house wanted to put him to death!

But on the other hand, if a third betrayed her, doesn't that mean that two-thirds are still loyal to her?

Looking at these subordinates who were loyal to her, Koyuki was also happy in her heart, and directly asked people to take some money from the treasury and reward them.

On the one hand, to appease their frightened hearts, and on the other hand, to reward their loyalty!

Money is the best tool to buy off workers!

After cleaning up the mansion, the next step was to clean up the noble families!

In the next two days, Naruto used the same method to summon those noble families to the Daimyo's mansion.

All those who had two hearts were exterminated, leaving no one alive!

The brutal rule once gave Koyuki the reputation of being a foolish and tyrannical ruler.

Naruto was called a being similar to Daji (a mythical fox spirit), and was demonized in the hearts of some Snow Country people!

However, as the Snow Country became stronger and stronger and the residents' lives became better and better, these voices gradually disappeared!

For ordinary people, as long as their lives are good, what does it matter if there are a few Daji around the monarch?

Does it affect their monthly salary of three thousand?
