Ten years had passed since the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Uchiha Qingfeng had long since mapped out the framework for the Ninja World's development. Over the past decade, everything had proceeded in an orderly fashion. With countless precedents in national governance to learn from, they had bypassed those detours and gone straight to the point. Everything was moving in a positive direction.
According to Uchiha Qingfeng's plan, all national affairs were handed over to the "National Affairs Processing Center," an institution composed of the forcibly retired "daimyō" and "village chiefs." It was referred to as the "State Affairs Center" for short. A new position, "Director of the State Affairs Center," had been established but remained vacant for now, so that whenever disputes dragged on without resolution, someone would be able to make the final decision.
