What Does the Ninja Academy Actually Teach?

Tsunade was appointed Hokage of Konoha only because she was appointed in a time of crisis. She did not want her grandfather's life's work to go to waste, nor did she want Dan and Nawaki's dream to be shattered.

However, Hinata's two reform proposals gave Tsunade hope.

Tsunade wants to make a big impact and change the landscape of the Ninja World, just like her grandfather Hashirama Senju, to contribute to peace in the Shinobi World.

Simply put, Tsunade has become arrogant.

Now that Konoha's two new plans have made a good start, Tsunade is eager to implement the next plan, to completely change the way ninjas live, so that the hard-won peace in the Shinobi World can continue to be maintained.

Tsunade's thinking has actually been limited by the profession of 'ninja'.

The Ninja Academy only became a six-year program in recent years; it used to be a three-year program, or even shorter.

What do Ninja Academy teach?

He taught ninjutsu, how to fight, and all knowledge related to combat.

But they don't teach economics, politics, law, or anything related to people's livelihoods.

In this situation, can you still expect a ninja to change themselves?

Ninjas only know how to fight and kill. Once they are separated from these things, they might become bandits, mountain robbers, or outlaws...

Because most ninjas simply didn't know how to survive normally, since no one had ever taught them these skills.

However, Hinata's mind was not limited by the profession of 'ninja'.

In Tsunade's opinion, this might be related to Hinata's upbringing and personality.

The Hyuga Clan is a ninja family, but they are also nobles of the Land of Fire, especially the Hyuga Main Family, which often considers themselves nobles.

Hinata, who grew up in this environment, may have a broader way of thinking.

At least that's what Tsunade thought, so she could only consult Hinata about plans to reform Konoha.

Seeing Tsunade's hopeful gaze, Hinata cautiously said, "Then... then let me think about it some more?"

"Kindness!"

Tsunade nodded and solemnly instructed, "You don't need to come to the Hokage Building for a while, but your position as Hokage's secretary will remain for the time being. If you have any new ideas, come to the Hokage Building and report to me."

"Hinata! What we are doing is for the peace of the entire Ninja World."

"This is no small matter, and I hope you will take it seriously... Hinata, I'm counting on you!"

Hinata was made nervous by Tsunade's attitude. Hinata, saying, "Leave everything to me!"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence in the office, Hinata tentatively asked, "Then... then I'll head back now?"

"Kindness!"

Back at the Hyuga residence, Hinata's first action was to lie down on her small bed and take a long nap.

Hinata almost died from exhaustion these past few days filming the movie.

Hinata had to take care of everything by herself. At first, she found it novel, but after a while, she found it incredibly boring.

Hinata slept from noon until late at night. She got up, went to the kitchen to find something to eat, took a hot bath, and then went back to Hinata to continue sleeping.

Hinata didn't have the energy to think about the task Tsunade had given her until the next morning.

Konoha is ultimately a military force of the Land of Fire, and there are other ninja villages in the Shinobi World besides Konoha. Considering the possibility of external enemies, all plans must be implemented without affecting Konoha's combat strength.

This one point alone makes many ideas impossible to realize.

If we also consider the Land of Fire, some of the country's mineral resources have absolutely nothing to do with Konoha.

The Daimyo is in charge of the politics and economy of the Land of Fire, and this 'economy' includes commerce, mining, and all other economic matters.

Furthermore, given that Jonin only know how to kill, it's unrealistic to expect them to engage in business.

Taking these factors into account, we cannot limit our focus to the Land of Fire.

In fact, the seabed also contains many precious mineral resources, but the technological capabilities of the Ninja World are limited, and ordinary people simply cannot develop the ocean's resources.

Moreover, some resources are simply unusable without the necessary technological advancements.

But if we use the power of ninjas to explore and mine, will it be possible to develop the resources in the ocean?

Hinata felt there was still hope.

In this way, the Five Great Nations will focus their struggle on the sea.

When nations are in conflict, ninjas have a chance to prove themselves, and their strength will not stagnate due to laziness.

The ocean is not under the jurisdiction of any state, so even Daimyo cannot interfere with it.

However, domestic merchants and nobles could participate in this under their private identities.

With ninjas battling on the high seas, wealthy merchants and nobles had no choice but to hire ninjas for protection.

"I really am a super genius."

Hinata was somewhat smug.

Konoha can use its military strength to control the resources of the sea, and Konoha Ninja can be employed by wealthy merchants and nobles within the country.

Other ninja villages, having found new sources of income, have been able to restrain themselves from minor conflicts, preventing these conflicts from escalating into war.

However, there is a challenge involved.

Once the ninja villages have more funding, a new Arms Race will inevitably follow, with major Shinobi Village frantically expanding its military power.

Once all the ninja villages have absorbed the new resources, it may be the beginning of an even larger war.

However, considering the Fourth Shinobi World War, perhaps all of this could have been avoided.

Once the Fourth Shinobi World War ends, the relations between the Five Great Shinobi Villages will ease, and all conflicts can be discussed at the negotiating table instead of resorting to force.

With that in mind, Hinata took out paper and pen and began to draft a new plan.

Using the power of ninjas to develop the sea, many ninja techniques can actually be utilized.

Especially Yamato's Wood Release, which can destroy a sea base with a single strike.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan is practically a divine tool for resource exploration.

Therefore, the Hyuga Clan is capable of getting a share of the profits in this matter.

Regarding the Konoha Hospital Branch, Hyuga Hiashi has already had some of the Hyuga Clan's ninjas reassigned to become medical ninjas.

The Hyuga Clan has the funds and the ability to build cinemas throughout the Land of Fire when it comes to making movies.

Konoha is a large power composed of countless small forces. The Hyuga Clan only needs to get a share of the pie. If they want to take the lead in everything, they will only arouse everyone's jealousy in the end.

Busy from morning till afternoon, Hinata rushed to Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga's study with her newly completed plan.

'Bang bang bang!'

"Come in!"

Hyuga Hiashi was dealing with clan affairs when he saw Hinata and asked with a slight puzzlement, "Hinata! You rarely come here on your own initiative. Is there something you need?"

Hinata placed the plan on the table in front of Hyuga Hiashi and said proudly, "Father, do you think this plan is feasible? Is there anything that needs to be added?"
