Well Kiba definitely couldn't stand it. send the Hokage as a mongrel? He must receive a very expensive bill for his mission. I doubt that Kiba would waste his Shinobi potential in fighting for a daimyo or in a low-paying job. Rather introduce and will expand mass education to many other areas of activity (medicine, construction, agriculture, science, etc.) shinobi have a lot of potential not only in military affairs. Of course, basic military training is essential in such a world, but I think it's just compulsory education in a shinobi academy for everyone, with a further choice of direction, and not throwing 12 year olds into battle.
I love when a Naruto fic show a glimpse of the Background Politics... and not making the easy-way route of considering the Daimyos dumb and useless just because they don't understand the intricacies! Are you boosting Samurai too? I always though they were very underpowered and not given enough development. If they were that useless, I don't think they would be kept as bodyguards anymore.
