Chapter 421 Distinguish between public and private affairs
How can we do such a thing justly?
Ceremony is the most effective method. The sense of ceremony, vanity, pomp, etc. are not important. First, everyone must know that Gaara has succeeded the Fifth Kazekage.
Without a "widely publicized" succession ceremony, how would everyone know that the village already had a leader?
There are so many rumors floating around, who knows if the word-of-mouth successor to the Kazekage is false?
Those who oppose Gaara are probably trying to wait for change; as for Chiyo, it is already the limit to support Gaara to the throne, do they still expect her to protect him?
Gaara's efforts deserve such a reward, and it's a good gimmick for him to continue his father's unfinished business.
Whether this boy, who is less than fourteen years old, can secure his position as the Fifth Kazekage depends on his own abilities.
With Markey's help, there shouldn't be much of a problem, but there are a lot of people waiting to see the joke.
In the ninja world, there is no such thing as "the master of the country's doubts", but the principles are the same. Looking at the many "shadows" of the five major ninja villages, none is as controversial as Gaara.
After a long silence, Gaara said with a hint of hope:
"This is just the beginning! I also expected difficulties..."
"Then what?"
Daimaru asked with interest,
"Want me to find a way to help you convince others?"
Gaara shook his head slightly and said:
"Don't be anxious about this, be patient and work hard, and everyone will naturally agree with me..."
"Then what's your problem?"
"I...suddenly discovered that there seemed to be no one available..."
If you want to do something, you will definitely be too busy as a mere commander. Apart from Temari and Kankuro, as well as Maki who is fully supportive, and Daimaru who is "half a family member", there are almost no direct subordinates.
Temari and Kankuro should be able to rest assured that Daimaru would probably not refute Gaara's reputation. Maki was also trying his best, but could Gaara really mobilize Maki's subordinates freely?
It is estimated that most of the subordinates brought out by Daimaru would be full of doubts about Gaara without Daimaru's approval.
Daimaru, who started from scratch, had a lower starting point than Gaara, but he already had some capable subordinates.
"I probably understand what you're thinking..."
As a new member of the Kazekage position, he has no power in his hands, so he wants to gather some "direct relatives" to support himself. This is understandable, but when asked about Yu Daimaru, it seems that he has made something wrong.
"What should I say?"
Daimaru thought for a while and then said seriously,
"As the village chief of Sunagakure Village, my position is somewhat different from that of us small leaders in the village..."
"you mean?"
Gaara frowned slightly.
"As the 'Kazekage', you are the 'leader' of all the villagers, and you possess the 'great righteousness'. You don't need to use favors, righteousness, and circumstances to gather power like the leaders of various factions, elders, and ninja army leaders. You only need to let yourself The position of the 'Kazekage Fifth Generation' is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people will naturally attach themselves to it. Just choose the talents you want! In addition..."
Daimaru smiled and said,
"After you perform your duties, you won't have time to think about these trivial matters..."
Do you really think it is easy to manage a ninja village of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people?
There are countless things that require Feng Ying to make decisions every day. Procedures such as stamping have to be done by secretaries, otherwise no matter how "diligently" they are, they will not be able to keep busy.
Nowadays, some powerful forces can only "grasp the big ones and let go the small ones" and entrust others to manage some unimportant things.
Those seniors who traveled through time and became emperors, generals, and ministers, besides taking care of all kinds of things, they could also pay private visits to understand the public sentiment, do business to make money, open factories, research firearms, steam engines, guide the construction of railways, build warships, and single-handedly promote the industrial revolution. It is true that Don’t know how time is managed.
Nowadays, the ninja world has entered the steam age. It is so difficult for Daimaru to build a power plant and a fresh water treatment plant. This is only with the help of the extraordinary power of ninjutsu.
Now that Daimaru has gained some understanding, he finally understands that thinking about how he can micromanage after becoming the "boss" in his humble body is just a daydream.
One person can't play it. No matter how strong or smart he is, he really doesn't have time to sort out all the threads.
The more powerful and intelligent you are, the more painful it is, because a bunch of losers can't keep up with your own pace. Those people even think that their immediate boss has a brain problem, and the ready-made boss can't be a good one.
Personal efforts are of course important, but the process of history must also be considered. Without a matching environment, even the dragon-slaying technique cannot be used.
In fact, as long as the position is stable, many people who "learned civil and military skills and sold their goods to the emperor's family" will flock to them, leaving the biggest bargaining chips and power unused, thinking about "the tiger's body will shake" every day, and the civil servants and generals will bow to you. In fact, It's so stupid.
Serious things are good, but getting entangled in trivial matters will only lead to a small loss. What's more, if you have been a "hands-off shopkeeper" for a long time, the people who hold the power may have the idea of "taking their place."
"I can't do anything now?"
Gaara was a little disappointed. Although he said he was not in a hurry, in the end, it was normal for a young man to be anxious to prove himself.
Daimaru smiled and patted Gaara on the shoulder:
"First be a Kazekage who meets other people's expectations. Before long, there might be surprises..."
The "Battle for the Kazekage Fifth Generation" has now entered a new stage, and Gaara's superior force will no longer be able to help him much.
"The time has come to test your political wisdom. Isn't this the opportunity you have dreamed of?"
After pondering the meaning of Daimaru's words, Gaara nodded. Becoming a Kazekage is just a means. After reforming his past, contributing to the village is what Gaara truly wants.
This time, although the chat was not as clear-cut as before, it was still somewhat helpful.
"I can become a Kazekage, and I would like to thank you for your help..."
Daimaru waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"It's not that I'm being modest, I just did something trivial..."
From the beginning to the end, Daimaru only talked a little bit. If Gaara himself failed to live up to his expectations, no matter how many ideas the dog-headed military commander came up with, it would be useless.
"You don't want to worry about these troubles, so you want me to be the Kazekage?"
"Not at all!"
Daimaru replied,
"There are some things that it is inconvenient to do as a Kazekage. That position is too sensitive to be watched by a large number of interested people. Not only that... in short, it is very complicated!"
Being cheered before going out, being protected by the guards overtly and covertly, being lazy when sleeping, and having bodyguards standing at the door. This kind of life seems very majestic, but it is also too restrictive.
At that point, it becomes difficult to distinguish between private matters and "state affairs."
