Ying Yue's previous life had been in an era of peace, with technology and social systems far more advanced than those of the Ninja World.
The ideas and institutions of modern society were worlds apart from the chaos of the Ninja World.
Uchiha Ying Yue decided to draw on the lessons of history from his previous life, especially the formulaic approach of the great man from 150 years ago who had saved the Divine Land from collapse.
"Peace can't be maintained through the sacrifices and compromises of a few people. It requires fundamental change and a solution to the root causes of social conflict." Uchiha Ying Yue silently pondered.
He understood that the turmoil in the Ninja World stemmed not only from conflicts between the great ninja villages, but also, more deeply, from an imbalanced social structure, scarce resources, and people's endless pursuit of power.
Uchiha Ying Yue decided to push for change from the bottom up, rather than rely on traditional top-down rule.
He wanted every ordinary person to become a guardian of peace, instead of relying solely on the protection of a powerful individual.
He wanted the civilians of the Ninja World to shed their fear of and dependence on ninja, and truly become the masters of this world.
"To change this world, we must first change people's way of thinking at its root." Uchiha Ying Yue resolved.
He decided to start with education, spreading knowledge and raising people's level of literacy.
Only when people possessed enough wisdom could they see the true nature of the world and remain rational and clearheaded when faced with the temptations of power and resources.
Uchiha Ying Yue knew the road ahead would not be easy.
Both ninja and Feudal Lords would resist his reforms fiercely.
Still, he wasn't afraid.
