The Final Show of Force
To be honest...
While Hinata's vision of the future sounds appealing, most people feel bewildered and uncertain about the new world Hinata of until they actually see it.
The ideal is good, but it is actually very difficult to implement.
The implementation of the new system will inevitably affect the interests of the old system.
Hinata may be able to forcefully implement her new system with absolute power, but will those whose interests are affected really be willing to submit to Hinata?
Too many questions leave people feeling lost, fearful, and even helpless.
Modern people know that commercial taxes are a major national tax, but why did ancient times emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce? Some dynasties even implemented various unreasonable systems to suppress merchants.
That's because productivity was too low in ancient times.
In ancient times, even when the entire nation worked together to cultivate the land, some people still went hungry. Under such circumstances, if commerce were to be vigorously developed, the country would truly run out of food.
Hinata is in a similar situation now.
Hinata's ambitions are enormous, almost completely negating the current way ninjas live.
During the era of the ninja village, Jonin could earn millions of ryo for completing an S-rank mission.
However, if it were to become a salary system, no matter how rich Hinata is, it would be impossible to pay Jonin a monthly salary of several million ryo.
It's often said that money is just an external thing, but in life, we can't live without it—we need it for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. That's just reality; we can't live in a dream world, can we?
In the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, you can have anything you want.
But in the real world, life is just that realistic.
The fifteen people present, besides Hinata, were either Kage in charge of a ninja village or Kage guards assisting the Kage in managing the village. After listening to Hinata's speech, all sorts of questions immediately popped into their minds.
To be honest, Hinata's words sounded very inspiring. The establishment of a unified new world and the new way of life for ninjas were all described by Hinata in a very beautiful way.
However, upon closer inspection, there are too many problems.
Unfortunately... no one dared to ask!
The four Kage turned their gazes to Tsunade ...
Gaara is a young man, and although he also values the preservation of Sunagakure, he is more accepting of unification.
The Fifth Raikage, A, didn't have much of a say. The Kumogakure was almost destroyed, and he could only go with the flow.
The Kirigakure and the Iwagakure are still powerful, making them the two most difficult villages to deal with; it might even require force.
However, Ōnoki was cunning and shrewd, and he wouldn't easily voice his opposition in front of Hinata.
Upon receiving the 'signal' from the four Kage, Tsunade looked at Hinata and asked with a stern face, "Hinata, are you serious?"
"Um!"
Hinata nodded. "Everyone, let's begin the vote!"
"Who's in favor, and who's opposed?"
After a pause, Hinata suddenly added, "However, you can rest assured that since Konoha has invited you all here, I will not take action against you until you have safely returned to your respective villages!"
Five Kage: "..."
No one can feel safe from this statement.
Is there any difference between making a move now and making a move after we return to the village?
It's simply a matter of more or fewer people dying.
Can one person fight against an entire village?
Orochimaru and Pain have already provided proof to those present.
"Cough cough!"
Ōnoki asked first, "If the Shinobi World is unified, the Daimyo is overthrown, and the ninjas rule... then how should the Five Great Shinobi Villages be arranged?"
"Hmm... let's form a parliament!"
Hinata and said, "The ninjas from each village will definitely have to be reorganized and the original Five Kage will form a council to be responsible for negotiating and handling national issues."
Unifying the Shinobi World was just a passing fancy for Hinata, but after Hinata calmed down and thought about it carefully, she felt it wasn't very meaningful.
Whether in the Shinobi World or the universe, strength is the most important thing.
"The ninjas are responsible for maintaining order in various cities."
"Although we don't need to carry out missions, we still need ninjas to maintain world peace, and there is no need for bandits and robbers in various places to continue to exist."
"Hmm..."
"As for the issue of taxation, we can discuss it in detail after the parliament is formed."
Hearing Hinata's words, the Kage- Kage Level 'big shots' felt a little relieved.
Since the goal is to unify the Shinobi World, overthrow the rule of the Daimyo, and have ninjas govern, then professions such as 'emperor' and 'son of heaven' will inevitably emerge.
Needless to say, Hinata will definitely take this position.
However, if the Five Kage form a parliament to assist in handling national affairs, at least this generation of Five Kage will not lose too much power.
But the ninjas from each village must be dispersed and reorganized...
It's conceivable that within one or two generations, different factions might still exist among the various ninja villages. But as time goes on, even if talented individuals emerge from once-small minor Shinobi Village, they may still have a chance to enter the council.
Currently, everything remains theoretical. The Five Kage are still based on their respective villages, and they naturally worry that the talents in their own villages will not be able to succeed them.
Having a boss above you isn't scary; what's scary is when the interests of your own small group are harmed.
In fact, the Five Kage haven't quite come to their senses yet, nor have they been able to see the overall landscape after the unification of the Shinobi World.
The ensuing struggle for interests may turn into a conflict between commoner ninjas and clan ninjas, as well as a struggle between different ninja clans.
As for the village...
Once the concept of unification takes root in people's hearts, the circles that were once divided by ninja villages will naturally transform into circles divided by clans.
And this process may only take a little over a decade.
Konoha has only been established for a little over sixty years, yet it has already become deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"Uh-huh!"
Hinata looked around and said calmly, "Actually... if everyone could bring their own perspectives into the unification of the Shinobi World, perhaps many problems could be solved."
"Um?!"
Five Kage looked puzzled at first, but quickly lowered his head and began to think.
Although the villages fought each other endlessly, were there ever any peace within each village itself?
See the big picture in the small details!
If education is addressed properly, perhaps in one or two generations, the ninja village will become a thing of the past.
What's the point of the Konoha Ninja Academy? Does it teach the Three Jutsu?
Wrong!
The purpose of the Ninja Academy is to brainwash the new generation of ninjas and make them identify with the Konoha Village.
Everyone here is intelligent; with just a few words of guidance, they will immediately understand Hinata's meaning.
Faced with an irresistible force, most people would choose to yield.
Of course, there are also a few who will choose to fight to the end for the sake of their beliefs.
For example: Ōnoki!
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Ōnoki had served Tsuchikage for decades. While the other villagers of Iwagakure could choose to surrender, he, as the Tsuchikage, had long been determined to die fighting.
"Is nobody saying anything?"
Hinata was getting a little impatient.
If it weren't for wanting to reduce the bloodshed, Hinata have closed the door and released Sasuke long ago.
To be fair, Hinata felt that her conditions were not harsh and were also very beneficial to the ninja community.
With such overwhelming strength, these people still dare to dawdle.
"Tsunade- neechan, you'll definitely support me, right!"
Hinata turned her gaze to Tsunade.
