1. Which village are you applying this Kage/Village Head for?

Iwagakure

2. What is the name of the candidate you are applying for this position?

Shizuka

3. How did your candidate become recommended for the position? (Be extremely detailed in this section, as it is quite important for the outcome of the application)

Kurotsuchi is a lot of things, but her desire to protect and serve Iwa is first and foremost to her mind. Shizuka came to possess many of the abilities her forefathers had with new ideas and applications that revitalized some of the fight spirit of Iwa. Kurotsuchi would believe Shizuka would come to possess a superior ability to lead the village in this new era of the world than what she could do with more efficiency. As such, she would have Shizuka succeed her by appealing to her similar sense of defending Iwa first and foremost.

4. Upon attaining the position, what has your candidate done within the position for the village? (In terms of economical, political and militant advantages or progress for the village)

Iwa will enter an era of isolationist policies. While they won't cut off the outside world entirely, as they will still need certain imports and would attend Kage councils as a show of good faith to the villages, Shizuka would try and get more of the needs of Iwa in her own lands before dealing with others as to maintain peace in Iwa. More of the shinobi missions will become increasingly exclusive to the Land of Earth. For military advantages, she will capture Son Gokū for Iwa once again primarily as a means of increasing the mountain fortifications of Iwa. She would keep Son under wraps however to avoid the public eye as to keep him as an ace in the hole should something go wrong.

I may also consider a route similar to Raido in Tenmou (iirc) that she may consolidate Iwa's Tsuchikage and the LoE Daimyou-ship into one rule, but I'll think on that a bit more.

5. From this point in the Fanon Canon Revolution timeline onward, what plans does your Kage/Village Head have in order to improve the state of the village on the international stage? (Alliances, investing in further technology, investing in strengthening the military, etc)

She will maintain loose alliances with the villages to maintain steady relationships as to avoid having to go to war. However, she will begin to back her military out of foreign situations over time as she becomes more and more into maintaining the peace of the LoE as opposed to the whole continent.
