Chapter 429: I Am the Hokage!
Jiraiya's jaw dropped like a duck egg:
"You... you... You really control the daimyos of the five great nations! How dare you?"
Orochimaru smiled faintly: "Why not? If ninjas can be controlled, why not these daimyos?"
"They're also human, these daimyos don't have more heads than we do... What's so surprising?"
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment before finally calming himself down.
He is still a traditional ninja, naturally opposed to actions of rebelling against superiors, so this shock indeed took some time to digest.
However, the situation is already like this, Jiraiya had no choice but to accept it.
"So, the daimyos of the five great nations are already under your control?"
"Correct."
"Then, what about the United Empire you deliberately established?"
"Exactly."
