He was elected by the nobility as Komerobi´s successor.The nobility doesn´t elect the heir of the kingdom in regards to descendants of a current Daimyo, but first they evaluate the qualities of the candidates of the several dynasties and bloodlines of the nobility. Yashida was specially chosen for his military mindset, as the nobles saw the hidden village of Konohagakure, falling onto anarchy, unruly antics and a gravely chalenging the crown´s authority.

## Background

Yashida was born into the Taiyoken dynasty, a family known to have bounds to the Shogunate with members often joining this military faction´s army and becoming Samurai.

Yashida was sent to Iron Country by the time he was 14, and was sponsored by the Shogun himself. He became his squire and student, and later on he adopted the local religion of chakranism and the Bushido ideals.

These conflicts shaped the stubborn and patriotic personality of Yashida, always wearing fire country´s symbol and emblem during the conflicts. He was known to be fierce and unforgiving while he fought, his Samurai subordinates even saying that when he was in combat, he was the "other Yashida" a "demon in a man´s body".

## "Kingdom come"

Even though Yashida was aiming for a full Samurai career, the now seasoned Laido master was contacted about the demise of Komerobi and the nature of it. He ignored at first the notification, knowing his place was with the Shogunate. Yashida was then contacted again, by the nobility and their decision to elect him as the future ruler of the Kingdom.

He heard the call of his home nation, the emblem he carried to battle and the homeland he shouted about while he cutted his enemies in half. He decided and patriotic left his duties in the Shogunate, and retired from the military.

After the funerary service of Komerobi, Yashida was crowned the absolute monarch of Fire Country. His first action as a ruler was to issue a surprise chuunin exams, to evaluate the state of the village in regards to the potential officers.

The ruler has orchestrated a reformation of the kingdom known as the "Phoenix restoration" which targets to improve justice, security and organization of the shinobi ranks and to link them to the royalty of Fire Country. It will also grant the Daimyo more influence in the village´s structure and laws. Yashida has also aimed to expand and transform Konohagakure soon.
