"Take in as many of these refugees as possible."
"They suffer the most in war."
Xia Le sighed.
"Yes."
Ida nodded solemnly, recalling how he had once fought someone to the death over a single meal.
"How is construction of the Ninja Academy coming along?"
Xia Le asked another question.
Lately, he had been responsible for developing the Hidden Rain Village, throwing himself into the work with considerable enthusiasm.
Watching a gloomy, lifeless village become prosperous, lively, and beautiful was undoubtedly deeply rewarding.
"The workers are building the walls and school grounds. They expect to finish in a little over ten days!"
Ida spoke with a smile.
"Ten days?"
"And how is Sakumo coming along with the teaching materials?"
Xia Le asked again.
"They're already finished. Our introductory textbooks are even more detailed than Konoha's. Besides the Three-Body Technique, they include detailed explanations of chakra control, its applications, and more."
"They also teach basic ninjutsu for all five chakra natures, all D-rank!"
Ida spoke excitedly.
For introductory textbooks taught at a Ninja Academy to include D-rank ninjutsu was simply incredible.
None of the ninja villages in the Five Great Nations did anything like that.
Ninjutsu was an extremely important resource for every village and powerful clan, and access was strictly controlled, especially for commoners. Unless a talented ninja found a teacher, ordinary ninja had little at their disposal beyond hand-to-hand combat honed through life-and-death struggles, the Three-Body Technique, and similar skills.
The Hidden Rain Village's design and construction of its Ninja Academy, however, were entirely different.
The elementary school trained genin, the intermediate school trained chunin, and the advanced school trained jōnin. Above the advanced level, there was also a special advanced level.
This special advanced school taught ninjutsu considered forbidden to ordinary ninja, even jōnin, with textbooks personally written
