After witnessing the bizarrely stylized Ninja Technology Tree, Jingū Kiraku could not help but feel intense anticipation for the upcoming Policy Tree.
Very soon, at Jingū Kiraku's will, the Ninja Policy Tree slowly unfolded before him.
Unlike the intricate and tangled Technology Tree, the Policy Tree looked comparatively simple and clean.
It did not have nearly as many branches as the Technology Tree. It appeared more direct, more linear:
One Country One Village System: Unlocks the Ninja Village prototype. All loyalty increases by 20%, Production Value increases by 20%.
Mission Ranking System: Establishes a complete mission system. Completing each mission grants corresponding Technology Value and Culture Value. Allied units' training speed increases by 10%.
Elder System: Unlocks the special Ninja Village Elder unit. This unit's training talent increases by 50%, training speed increases by 50%, and gains the skill Revenge—
When a Ninja Village Elder dies, the village may declare war without suffering any negative effects, and all units gain increased strength.
Ninja School: Unlocks the Ninja School building. Allied units within this building's range gain 20% increased training talent and 20% increased training speed.
Anbu System: Unlocks the ANBU spy unit and the Anbu Ninja combat unit. This unit's overall strength increases by 25%.
Medical System: Unlocks the Ninja Hospital building and the Medical Ninja healing unit. All units' recovery speed increases by 20%.
Barrier System: Unlocks the Sealing Team Ninja unit and gains the Village Barrier skill.
Summoning Beast Alliance: Unlocks the Summoning Beast combat unit. All units' affinity with Summoning Beasts increases by 50%, and three additional Summoning Beast contract slots are provided.
Seeing this, Jingū Kiraku paused for a moment.
Everything above consisted of policies and effects from the Ninja Village era. What came next was the real main event.
Because after completing the above policies, the civilization represented by the village would enter its next stage—
The Imperial Era!
During this era, the civilization would unlock policies such as Ninja Empire, Bloodline Limit Protection Law, Tailed Beast Deterrence Theory, Summoning War Act, Jinchuriki Worship, and Tailed Beast Weaponization Process.
And just like the Technology Tree, the Policy Tree's style became equally bizarre in the later stages.
This was mainly reflected in things like Immortality Technology Ethics, Infinite Tsukuyomi Execution Order, Quantum Unit Formation, and so on...
Though he had been mentally prepared, when Jingū Kiraku saw the Ōtsutsuki Human Rights Protection Act at the very end, he still could not help sucking in a cold breath—
Could this system actually think he would use a cigarette butt to burn Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's skin rash on the far side of the moon?
Or burn the Sage of Six Paths?
Tsk, wasn't this getting a little too carried away?
Jingū Kiraku could not help rubbing the space between his brows. He had to admit, the impact this system had brought him was simply too great.
If he had not been a transmigrator, he probably would have crashed here for several hours.
But getting hit by a truck and transmigrating had already happened, so burning an Ōtsutsuki with a cigarette butt was not impossible either...
Right?
After successfully accepting this setting, Jingū Kiraku finally let out a slow breath.
Then he shifted his gaze to the Wonders section.
To Jingū Kiraku's disappointment, this section was almost entirely bare black silhouettes.
It was generally divided into three parts: constructed/discovered wonders, unconstructed/undiscovered wonders, and constructible wonders.
For now, both the constructed/discovered wonders and constructible wonders sections were completely blank.
As for the unconstructed/undiscovered wonders, they were all black silhouettes representing "locked."
Of course, that did not mean the system had provided no useful information.
From those black silhouettes, Jingū Kiraku still managed to recognize a few things based on his understanding of the ninja world.
For example, the three giant heads of a certain ninja-world superpower—
The Hokage Rock Faces!
And that bond-themed landmark of the same ninja-world superpower—
The Valley of the End!
Other than that, he could not recognize anything else.
Jingū Kiraku let out another soft breath, then exited the Wonders section.
The next second, his field of vision began rising at tremendous speed.
Immediately afterward, a super map large enough to encompass the entire ninja world appeared before him.
Most of the map was shrouded in dense shadows and fog, with only simple names visible.
For example, the Land of Fire in the east, the Land of Wind in the west, and the Land of Earth and Grass Country in the north.
The only place clearly and brightly displayed before Jingū Kiraku was the Land of Rain, sandwiched between three major countries.
As he focused his gaze on the Land of Rain, the map immediately enlarged.
The region's terrain and landscape instantly unfolded before Jingū Kiraku.
Only then did this newly appointed Amegakure Leader gain an incomparably direct understanding of the Land of Rain's geographical environment.
And of... why the Land of Rain was shrouded in constant drizzle year-round.
As Jingū Kiraku shifted his gaze toward the southwest of the Land of Rain—
A massive protrusion cut abruptly across the northeastern border of the Land of Wind.
It was an enormous, towering mountain range, forcibly separating the Land of Wind from the Land of Rain and forming a natural geographical boundary.
It was this mountain range that firmly blocked the moisture from the northern ocean, causing it to continually accumulate over the Land of Rain and form thick rain clouds that never dispersed.
It also created the reality of flooding rains in the Land of Rain while the Land of Wind remained an endless desert.
Jingū Kiraku continued looking from north to south.
Due to the excessively abundant rainfall, a massive inland lake had formed within the Land of Rain.
It was so vast that it could even be called an "ocean," and it lay directly south of Amegakure.
This also resolved a question that had puzzled Jingū Kiraku for many years—
How Jiraiya had sunk into the sea in Amegakure.
Beyond that, as this vast lake flowed rapidly southward with the terrain, it formed thousands of rivers of every size.
They created those fertile grain-producing regions throughout the Land of Rivers and brought them abundant fishing resources.
This was also how the Land of Rivers got its name.
At the same time, the Land of Rain also possessed a crucial transportation route.
To the north lay the Land of Earth, to the east the Land of Fire, and to the southwest the Land of Wind.
It was also connected to a host of smaller countries, including Grass Country, the Land of Birds, and the Land of Rivers.
It was a vital transportation hub for commercial and military development!
It could be said that whichever of the three surrounding great powers controlled this place would hold the timing and initiative for launching war.
And the Land of Rain's martial prowess was rather mediocre to begin with.
It had finally produced someone like Hanzō the Salamander, only for him to get beaten senseless by Konoha.
With all these factors combined, it was only natural that the Land of Rain had become an imperial battlefield.
But...
All of that would change with his arrival.
A startling light shone in Jingū Kiraku's eyes, as though he intended to cut through the layers of cloud and mist blanketing the Land of Rain.
