Into the History Textbooks

Since none of the 800 people read this, I'm mentioning it here.

1. Sometimes, illustrations corresponding to the current chapter will appear in the author's notes; please check them yourself.

2. If there's anything you want to see, you can use gifts to "whip" the poor author and they'll "smother" you with more content.

3. I absolutely hate low-quality images.

Simply put, it's all the same, like eight hundred faces all looking identical. I've played with that stuff before, and I've used it in my own workflow.

But without a final line art, without simple bisection, even simple coloring, and even with complex coloring just to achieve a certain effect, all of these images (yes, I mean all of them) are very difficult to work with.

Just like using an adult text assistant, if no one checks or modifies it, then it's a complete mess.

Let me be frank: the image library doesn't contain the image that people want, and it's unlikely to encompass everything in the future.

The human brain is so strange; I still wonder how my own brain works.

If you could simulate this, that would be wonderful! Come and take my place at work, school, meals, and sleep! I really find human thought processes so strange and bizarre. I'm so fed up with not wanting to get up from my seat, giving up work time, not wanting to take off my clothes, not wanting to prepare a towel, not wanting to adjust the water temperature, and not wanting to shower because the water tank temperature keeps dropping!

Ahem. Let's get back to the main topic.

I'm someone who's done some adult content, a fairly skilled illustrator, and a semi-writer, so I know what I'm doing.

A is always just a supplementary tool; you can use it to polish things up, or to add a finishing touch, but do you want to make money with it?

Sorry, but at least you need to have my skill level, the kind that can actually be hand-crafted.

I think many, many people have already seen A's fatal flaw and are starting to get tired of it.

Perhaps these problems can be solved in the future, and some talented individuals will be able to bypass them and create high-quality works (like that robot ostrich, it's so amazing, there's really nothing to criticize).

However, 'a' is ultimately just a supplementary tool.

So in my posts, at least please don't use those bean-shaped faces, okay? Give me something more sophisticated! I'm begging you! Wow, when I saw that exaggerated frowning picture... *%￥#@

That's an insult to Kishimoto's hands!

Please, please don't insult Kishimoto's hands! Although his plots are terrible, his hands are the hands of God, and I won't allow you to insult them!

Above!

Konoha erupted in cheers. Everyone raised their arms and cheered. People who had worked together or teamed up with each other found their teammates and hugged each other. Children jumped and skipped around.

Even the Daimyo stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

Hashirama smiled as he watched all this, and when the thunderous cheers gradually subsided, he continued to speak.

"Then, please allow me to describe the next steps in the plans for the Konoha Special Administrative Region."

"This plan is a joint decision made by us and His Daimyo the Daimyo." Hashirama aside and bowed slightly, and the Daimyo nodded in acknowledgment. "It's the first Five-Year Plan. Our CEO will now provide a detailed explanation of its contents."

Ban stepped forward, unfurled a scroll, and read it aloud.

He unfurled the scroll, his calm voice carrying across every corner of the square.

"Based on the current situation in Konoha, and after discussions with His Daimyo, we have formulated our first Five-Year Plan. The plan's objectives are as follows--"

"Firstly, infrastructure construction. Within two years, all roads in the village will be paved, and the main road connecting to the official road of the Land of Fire will be opened up."

"Establish a water supply network covering the entire village, set up centralized water collection points in Commercial Streets, Training Grounds, ethnic minority areas, and public areas, and gradually achieve piped water access to households."

"Within three years, the Konoha Central Hospital and its affiliated medical clinic will be built, and a team of Ninja medical personnel with basic medical knowledge will be trained."

"The Konoha Ninja Academy will be built within five years, open to children of all races and commoners. Admission will not be based on birth, but only on aptitude and character."

"Secondly, the economy and industry. Establish a mission distribution system for Konoha, set mission levels and reward standards, and ensure that mission allocation is fair and transparent."

"Encourage all ethnic groups to open shops, and provide tax reductions or exemptions for Merchants who move into the Commercial Street in the first year. Establish Konoha agricultural experimental fields, with the Senju Clan providing improved seeds and farming techniques."

"Develop civilian applications of Ninjutsu, including projects such as Sealing Jutsu for food preservation and storage, Earth Release infrastructure projects, and Medical Ninjutsu for treating external injuries."

"Achieve food self-sufficiency within five years, and quadruple the number of Merchant on the Commercial Street."

Thirdly, institutional development.

"Establish the Konoha Ninja Code, clarifying Ninja behavior norms, mission execution standards, and reward and punishment Regulations."

"Establish Council of Clan Representatives, with each ethnic group electing one representative to hold monthly meetings to discuss village affairs together."

"Supervisory Committee shall be established, with supervisors from various ethnic groups taking turns to oversee the allocation of tasks, financial revenue and expenditure, and the appointment and removal of personnel."

Fourth, defense forces. Establish the Konoha Military Police Force, with Tobirama Senju as its commander-in-chief, which includes regular patrol teams, emergency response teams, and intelligence analysis groups.

"Members will be selected gradually from various ethnic groups, with the ultimate goal of having no fewer than three hundred people in each team."

"Conduct a full-element defense drill once a month and a cross-ethnic joint exercise once a quarter."

"At the same time, a military cooperation mechanism was established with the Daimyo's Office of the Land of Fire, clarifying wartime command authority and mobilization procedures."

Fifth, livelihood security. Establish Ninja compensation system, provide compensation to those who die in the line of duty, and have their children raised by the village until adulthood.

"Establish Ninja promotion assessment system, hold Chunin and Jonin selection exam once a year, make the results public, and promote the best candidates."

"Establish civilian employee positions in Konoha to ensure that Ordinary People can also have enough to eat and wear."

"Within five years, we will achieve a 100% enrollment rate for school-age children in the village, and a re-employment rate of no less than 70% for those Ninja commit cruel acts."

The scroll was put away. Ban raised his head, his gaze sweeping over every pair of eyes in the audience.

"The above five points constitute the core outline of Konoha's first Five-Year Plan. The detailed implementation rules will be posted within three days, and representatives of each clan can consult the full text at the Hokage Building."

"If there are any objections, please raise them in the council meeting— Konoha belongs to Konoha, and every decision should withstand scrutiny from everyone."

The audience was unusually quiet; no one spoke.

Ban blinked, intending to quietly retreat, when a sudden uproar arose.

"Eh?! Lord Madara?!"

"That's Madara Uchiha?!"

"Holy crap! I can't believe my eyes! Pinch me!"

"Lord Hashirama was already so handsome, but I didn't expect Lord Madara to be even more handsome! Wow--"

Spot:...

He wore an expression of disbelief.

Are these people out of their minds? Is that even the point?! Shouldn't they be praising the good policies?! Why are they commenting on my appearance?!

Ban left the stage in a huff.

He now understands why Izuna persuaded him to cover his face when he was little; this world that judges people by their appearance is hopeless.

Hashirama amused and exasperated, patted Madara on the back. Tobirama was desperately trying to suppress his laughter, while Izuna...?

He nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Yeah, you have good taste! I also think Brother Ban looks really handsome today! No wonder he's Brother Ban!"

Madara sighed, "Izuna, our goal today is to put your idea into practice, but my looks have stolen the show. What's going on?"

Izuna gave him a sly smile, "It's good that you've been overshadowed. It makes everyone overlook the meaning behind it, so it'll be hard for you to refuse when you're actually assigned a mission."

Hashirama said strangely, "I don't think it's very likely that anyone would refuse to carry it out, right?"

"Not refusing to carry out orders and not wanting to carry them out are two different things." Izuna raised his head. "Look at those Envoy over there; they've already noticed the problem."

Hashirama glanced at the Envoy and noticed they were whispering to each other. They seemed to be on better terms than before they arrived, apparently having developed a mutual respect after going through some shared experiences.

"What was just read out sounds fine, but there are actually many areas where there's room for maneuver," Izuna said. "For example, the Konoha Code. It establishes Ninja conduct guidelines, mission execution standards, and reward and punishment Regulations."

"At first glance, it seems fine, but the hidden meaning of this rule is that any Konoha Ninja must first abide by the Clan Rules, not the clan rules."

Hashirama listened and slowly nodded.

"For example, the Council of Clan Representatives sounds very fair."

"However, the scope of 'jointly discussing village affairs' is not defined. Which matters need to be discussed in the council? Which matters can the Hokage decide directly? These are not written down."

"In other words, the council is an advisory body to the Hokage, not a decision-making body. Its role is to give each clan a voice, but the final decision-making power rests with the Hokage."

Tobirama raised an eyebrow, surprised that Izuna, whom he still considered a child, could think of such a thing.

"And then there's the Supervisory Committee system. That sounds like it has a lot of room for manipulation, doesn't it? It seems like you can use it to your advantage whenever it's your turn."

Izuna held up one finger, "But the inspectors are on rotation. This year it's the Senju, next year the Uchiha, and the year after that the Hyuga. Once a round is completed, the files and cases accumulated by the Supervisory Committee will form a complete set of precedents."

"By then, the Supervisory Committee will no longer be a mouthpiece for various clans, but a standing body with independent standards of judgment. Its power will not originate from any particular clan, but from Konoha itself."

"This is a gradual process of consolidating power from the various ethnic groups," Tobirama said.

"That's right." Izuna turned to look at him, "But it didn't fall into the hands of the Hokage alone. It fell into the hands of the system."

"Each of these detailed rules seems mild on its own, even like concessions to different ethnic groups, but when put together, they are a different story."

"They make up a machine, and no single part can change the direction in which the machine operates."

Tobirama leaned against the railing, and after listening to Izuna's words, his eyebrows slowly rose as he looked Izuna up and down.

Is this still the same naive and innocent girl I know? She can actually explain the details I filled out in a very logical and fluent way.

Tobirama's mind flashed through images of Izuna's daily life.

He lay on the table complaining of being tired, snatched Madara's Three-Colored Dango, was lifted up and spun around by Hashirama, teased the child, teased the cat, and was teased by the cat.

He certainly has profound thoughts and unique insights in some areas, but are they so insightful that one can see through his calculations?

As expected, it has to be Izuna. Even though he's from another world and doesn't like to use his brain, his thinking is still very quick.

Izuna noticed his gaze. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Tobirama looked away.

Izuna blinked. "Shouldn't it be your turn to give a speech?"

Tobirama with his lips in that direction.

Izuna looked in the direction he indicated.

Ahead, Tobirama's Shadow Clone stood on the edge of the rooftop, reading from a script with a blank expression.

The sunlight on the rooftop was perfect; the Shadow Clone spoke clearly and rhythmically, indistinguishable from the real person. The only noteworthy thing was that a commotion arose again below the stage.

It seems everyone is quite curious about our new image.

Izuna looked at the Shadow Clone on the stage who was reading the script in a serious manner, and then turned to look at the real body who was standing with his arms crossed, raising an eyebrow at him.

"I give up. You even leave this kind of thing to your Shadow Clones." Izuna said, opening the Shitty Map, then looked at Tobirama with a strange expression. "You really don't think you're human, do you? So much stuff, aren't you afraid of collapsing from exhaustion?"

Tobirama said, "I'm just a little tired at most, and only today. I've never overused Multi Shadow Clone in the past. Accumulated fatigue will affect my fighting stance, and I'm not that stupid."

Hashirama quietly looked away after hearing this.

The speech given by the Shadow Clone on stage was concise and to the point.

As the commander-in-chief of the Guard Corps, Tobirama was in charge of all combat-related matters, so there's not much to elaborate on in that regard.

The specific organization of the defense forces is what Ninjas are most familiar with, as it has already been implemented before: Ninja rank division, four-person squad system, mission levels and acceptance conditions, and the distinction between internal and external teams, etc.

The Shadow Clone finished reciting the last sentence on stage without any emotion before leaving.

Polite applause rang out from the audience.

Izuna straightened up and adjusted his collar.

It was his turn to become the half-baked Foreign Affairs Department minister.

Although Izuna was still a little intimidated by public speaking, he had already had one experience, so he was at least less afraid.

He licked his lips and began, "Gentlemen, I am Uchiha Izuna, the current Minister of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Konoha Special Administrative Region."

"Next, I will announce the future foreign policy of the Konoha Special Administrative Region."
