Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 192 Institutional Reform

"reform!?"

Everyone looked at Jin with puzzled expressions. What was there to reform? Wasn't it just about building cities, restoring the Land of Rain, and finally rebuilding the Rain Village?

There's nothing that needs to be changed; just proceed step by step.

Even Kakuzu and Hanzo couldn't figure out what Kin was thinking; they couldn't think of any way to reform the enemy.

"First," Kim said, holding up one finger.

"Abolish the ninja system."

Jin's words exploded like a tidal wave in everyone's ears. Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, their minds blank for a moment, unable to think.

If the ninja system is abolished, what will they do?

Are they going to become wandering ninjas?

"You want to disband us?"

Hanzo couldn't help but ask.

For them, isn't it just about abolishing the ninja villages of the Land of Rain?

Although Amegakure disappeared in the great war, it cannot be completely wiped out; that is their root.

"Let me finish speaking first."

Jin stared at him coldly; the barren thoughts of these ninjas were simply unbearable for him.

However, since they were treated as tools, even those few shadows could not escape the restricted mindset.

Hanzo could only awkwardly shut his mouth.

The young man in front of me is now in charge.

"Canceling the ninja system doesn't mean you have to leave. The Land of Rain will establish an army, and you will all have to join it."

The group of Rain Ninja looked at each other.

Is this a war with whom? After all, armies are only formed during times of war.

But Jin didn't stop; instead, she continued to speak slowly.

"The army does not represent war, but exists to protect the Land of Rain at all times."

"To be precise, we can eliminate the system of accepting missions from others and hiring employees. You can simply train and prepare for battle, or establish special units to help with things like city construction."

"Then where will we get the money to live?"

Someone couldn't help but ask a question.

After all, their money comes from missions, so this would be equivalent to cutting off their source of income.

In all ninja villages, others hire ninjas, with the village taking the lion's share and the ninja taking a smaller share.

Moreover, the Little Ninja Village has quite a few missions.

Although the five great ninja villages are renowned, their labor costs are exorbitant.

Small ninja villages are cheaper, so most people prefer to go to small ninja villages. Only those who are rich and powerful will choose large ninja villages first.

Of course, because the prices in small ninja villages are low, ordinary ninjas don't earn much money and can only make ends meet.

However, because they are small ninja villages, robberies of employers sometimes occur, causing many small ninja villages to lose a large number of customers.

They can barely make ends meet.

"The Rain Kingdom will give it to you." Jin wasn't angry, but explained, "The money and houses may not be as much as what you get from a single mission, but they will be provided to you every month to support your basic needs."

"Ninja tools will also be provided to you in another way."

These words made Kakuzu's expression turn ugly; how much money would that cost?

Even the most extravagant spendthrifts wouldn't do this.

"The money might not be enough."

Kakuzu chimed in.

If we follow Jin's idea, then the 500 million will just be wasted and won't have any significant effect.

Listen to this: you get paid without doing any tasks, and the money isn't even coming from him.

"The Rain Country will collect taxes, from commerce to housing and transportation, from the people of the Rain Country and foreigners. Only a small portion will be collected, but as long as the number of people is large enough, it will not affect the people of the Rain Country and a considerable amount of money will be collected. This money will be used to maintain the military's expenses."

Kakuzu frowned and calculated for a moment, then realized it seemed feasible and relaxed.

Everything else is fine, as long as it doesn't involve money, Kakuzu has no objections.

At this moment, Hanzo couldn't help but speak up again.

"That's the daimyo's duty. We've overstepped our bounds."

"I can be a famous name."

Jin looked intently at Hanzo.

It made everyone gasp in shock.

This is quite outrageous; the great names in this world are all about bloodlines.

Ninjas would never dare to even dream of such a thing.

And the Daimyo of the Land of Rain is still alive.

"Just find any dead nobleman with inheritance rights and put it on my head."

Hanzo fell into deep thought; Kim's method was feasible.

Although it is indeed a rebellious method, don't forget it.

It was the daimyo of the Land of Rain who abandoned them first.

Then they naturally don't need such a great name.

just.

Hanzo looked at Jin and fell silent.

He has created a new river that has never been seen before.

Just as the First Hokage established the ninja village, is the world also about to undergo a new transformation under his leadership?

I suddenly thought about Kim's character.

Forget it.

He's probably overthinking it. How could such a shameless person do something like that?

"I'll make the arrangements."

They've never even considered it, but that doesn't mean they can't do it.

Hanzo could find a way that even the Daimyo of the Land of Rain couldn't refute, forcing Kin to choose to inherit.

Again.

It was because he abandoned the Land of Rain first.

"That..." a ninja raised his hand and couldn't help but ask.

"What do we do in the army every day?"

"Train, train, and train some more."

In this world, ninjas rely entirely on their self-discipline for training. Ninjas are generally on standby at all times, but the ninja villages don't care what you do or even have any requirements.

Kim continued, "During military service, we are provided with three meals a day, accommodation, and fixed holidays each month. We are not allowed to go out outside of holidays."

"Prepare for battle only if ordered to do so."

"Furthermore, within the military, I will implement a merit-based system, based on monthly performance or combat achievements."

"Or, if I have more time, I will arrange practice battles, and earn merit points based on the performance in the battles."

"These merits can be exchanged for all ninjutsu here, including all the ninjutsu possessed by the Five Great Nations, and I can even customize ninjutsu for you personally."

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped.

It must be said that Kim's proposal was very tempting to them.

Putting aside ninjutsu, just the structure of the army was enough to entice them.

Being able to stay in the army without risking their lives and receive a monthly allowance is incredibly fortunate for the ninjas of their small village.

Even a powerful figure wouldn't do something like this, where food, drink, and expenses are all provided.

The ninjas from the great ninja villages would find these restrictions too harsh, because they are already very strong and their missions are not very dangerous.

In the small ninja village, missions are all done with their lives on the line.

As for the latter one, not to mention them, even Hanzo was very tempted.

Their strength is limited precisely because their ninjutsu is insufficient.

Furthermore, Hanzo did not believe that Kim was lying; the fact that he dared to say such a thing must mean that he truly possessed it.

"This is the reform."

"The rest is what we'll discuss."

"You have three days. Meet here in three days."

"Now everyone else disband!"
