May 1st is a very ordinary day in the world of Naruto.
But starting from today, from this May Day, May 1st will be given a completely different meaning.
On May 1st, the founding ceremony of the Kingdom of Light was held in Konoha.
Before seven o'clock in the morning, most of the villagers in Konoha Village, whether ninjas, ordinary villagers, or even outsiders who live here temporarily, have already gotten up excitedly.
Under the leadership of the Fourth Hokage Kizaru, Konoha has established a great cause that has not been seen in thousands of years, which makes every villager spontaneously feel proud.
At seven o'clock, the sun had just risen halfway up and the sky became bright. Many villagers put on gorgeous dresses and walked out of their houses with smiles on their faces.
On the streets, regardless of whether they were familiar with each other, people greeted each other warmly, and the atmosphere of joy permeated the entire village.
In the central area of Konoha Village, Kizaru got up early, wearing the Hokage royal robe, standing on the rooftop of the Hokage building with a smile on his face.
Behind him stood the shadows of the former five great ninja villages, Hanzo from the Land of Rain, and the first, second, third, and third generation Hokages.
Of course, at such an important moment, Kizaru's uncle Danzo was also with him.
From the time he returned to Konoha to prepare for the founding ceremony, Danzo seemed to have changed into a different person, smiling every day, like a kind uncle.
Danzo's behavior is reasonable, after all, all his lifelong dreams have been realized by his nephew Kizaru.
"It seems that everyone is very happy!" Looking at the scenery of the village below, looking at the happy crowd, and listening to everyone's happy voices, the smile on Kizaru's face became a little wider.
"We have created a great cause that has never been seen before in the world. It is normal for the villagers to be happy!" Danzo said with a smile.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, standing next to Danzo, had a pipe in his mouth and nodded with a smile.
"I hope this time, we can truly bring peace to this world." Hashirama and his younger brother Tobirama stood side by side and said sincerely.
"Everyone, please don't relax too much. Be careful of Uchiha Madara's potential attack." Tobirama was also very happy today, but his calm and rational thinking kept him as vigilant as he should at all times.
"Uchiha Madara! If this guy dares to come and cause trouble today, we must keep him!" Since merging into Konoha, the first three generations of Raikage feel that they are capable again and have much more confidence in what they say and do.
"We must eliminate the hidden danger of Uchiha Madara! I suggest that after the ceremony, we can concentrate our forces to search and capture Uchiha Madara!" Ohnoki did not have a good impression of Uchiha Madara, a bastard.
"Other than the Fourth Hokage, who else can deal with Uchiha Madara? Do you want the ninjas below to search for Uchiha Madara because you want them to die?" Chiyo looked at Ohnoki and asked.
"Are we just going to leave Uchiha Madara alone?" Onoki asked unhappily.
"The Fourth Hokage has his own arrangements. You old guy, just take care of yourself and take care of yourself." Chiyo said in a slightly sinister tone.
Obviously, Chiyo has always kept in mind the actions of two shadow figures from a certain village who made matters worse in the past few years.
Onoki was furious at Chiyo's words. He looked at this vicious woman unhappily, "What I just said was just a suggestion to the Fourth Hokage. I'm different from some people. I just take money and don't do anything.
My conscience can’t bear it.”
"You two, today is a big day, so don't argue. I have already made arrangements for Uchiha Madara. He won't make any big moves in a short period of time." Turning to look at the two people behind him, Huang
The ape said with a smile.
Under Kizaru's mediation, the two stopped arguing and smiled at Kizaru. After Kizaru turned back, he glared at each other fiercely, then tilted his head and shifted his gaze.
Kizaru in front did not pay attention to the small movements of the two people behind him. The second Hokage Tobirama and the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen were silently paying attention.
Now that Konoha has just annexed other shinobi villages and countries, the Kage who actively surrendered and formed an alliance were treated very favorably, and were given the position of elders.
Facing these former Kages, the current elders of Konoha, Tobirama, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo are all very concerned and vigilant, fearing that these guys will join forces to make some small moves in private.
The conflicts and quarrels between Ohnoki and Chiyo, whether intentional or unintentional, are what Tobirama and the others want to see.
These new Konoha elders have great or small power. If they really do not care about life and death and cause some things in private, it will be easy to deal with them, but the subsequent impact will be more troublesome.
These former shadows do not represent them alone. Behind them, there is the support of a large number of former Ninja Village ninjas.
These former ninjas and villagers from other villages who had just joined Konoha were all watching with wide eyes, wondering whether Konoha could treat them fairly.
At this time, if someone is restless and does some mindless things, and the top management of the village fails to handle it, it may lead to alienation and conflicts among the ninjas in the newly merged ninja villages!
"Everyone, it's getting late, let's go down first! After a while, we should go to the square." Sarutobi Hiruzen took off his pipe and said with a smile.
"It's almost done, let's go down!" After being reminded by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kizaru followed.
As soon as Kizaru spoke, everyone present echoed in agreement and left the rooftop together.
In the square across the street from the Hokage Building, Konoha's ninjas have set up a high platform and hung banners.
At this time, many villagers had come to the square, and basically all the ninja clans in Konoha were already standing in the square.
If Konoha replaces the Fire Nation, annexes major countries, and establishes a unified country, who will be the biggest beneficiary? These ninjas can be ranked at the forefront.
From the time Kizaru entered the upper echelons of the village until he became the Fourth Hokage, these ninjas who stood up to support Kizaru early on can be said to have enjoyed the greatest benefits of the reform.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! A research project of Konoha Research Institute, all ninja clans basically have shares, and they can get a lot of profits every year.
Now that the world is unified, wars and battles in the future will be significantly reduced visible to the naked eye. Under such circumstances, these leaders of the ninja clan must also consider the future of themselves and their clansmen.
In the past, everyone made a living as a ninja and evaluated the merits of their clan members based on their contribution to tasks.
Now, there has been news from the Fourth Hokage that there will be reforms to the ninja profession.
Collect and reorganize ninjas into the army. Ordinary ninjas will no longer have military functions and can only accept non-military and legal civilian mission entrustments.
After learning this news, ordinary civilian ninjas were fine. The missions most of them usually accepted were basically civil tasks such as guarding, transporting supplies, and doing work.
The village's reform of the ninja profession has not had much impact on civilians.
But this change has a huge impact on the ninja clan!
Why are the Ninja clan called the Ninja clan? Why do they enjoy certain rights and preferential treatment in the village?
The fundamental reason for this is that they have made great contributions to the village's external wars and missions by relying on their family's ninjutsu and good strength.
Rights and obligations are equal. In a military group like Ninja Village, if you want to get preferential treatment, you must show your value and ability.
It is self-evident why the Hyuga clan is called the wealthy clan of Konoha, and why it has received preferential treatment from successive Hokages.
Because they inherit the boundary white eye, they can play an extremely huge reconnaissance role in missions and wars, especially wars.
Now that the Kingdom of Light has been established, if the Hyuga clan wants to continue to maintain their status as a powerful clan and continue to have a certain say in the upper echelons of the village, then they must show their value.
If there is no more war in the future, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan will have to shine in more fields.
After learning the news of the change, the Hyuga clan also responded immediately, and the elders of their clan and branch families held an intra-clan meeting.
During the meeting, the Hyuga clan clarified three key points.
First, the Hyuga clan firmly supports the Fourth Hokage Kizaru's reforms against ninjas.
Second, the ninjas from the Hyuga clan must do their best to stay in the army after Konoha's reform to ensure the military influence of the Hyuga clan.
Third, the Hyuga clan must carry out its own internal reforms. Members of the clan must strive to learn and develop in scientific research, medical and other fields to ensure the influence of the Hyuga clan in the Kingdom of Light.
It is a very rare thing for the Hyuga clan to be willing to carry out self-reform. From a side perspective, it is also the Hyuga clan that feels the pressure from the outside world.
This pressure does not come from the top management of Konoha, but from the ninja clan that merged with other ninja villages, as well as the civilians whose base has increased significantly.
In the past, just one Konoha ninja village could give birth to many talented civilian ninjas.
Now, the territory of the Kingdom of Light basically occupies the entire continent and all the offshore islands.
In such a vast territory, among the countless civilians, how many talents will be born?
In particular, the Fourth Hokage Kizaru is also preparing to gradually launch a literacy campaign nationwide and vigorously develop agriculture and education.
Let all citizens have enough to eat and afford education. This is the slogan that Kizaru clearly shouted in the documentary he directed.
The Hyuga clan is not sure how many geniuses will be born among these educated civilians? How many resources will these geniuses seize?
They are only certain of one thing: in such a unified country, in a country without war, the invisible competition will become more and more intense in the future!
If you want to ensure the status and interests of the family in the future, you must work hard from within the family. The family cannot raise waste, even the clan!
If the members of the Zong family want to ensure the inheritance of the Byakugan and prevent the White Eye from leaking out, they cannot join the army, so they should stay in the village and study scientific research and medicine.
In short, from now on, people in the Zong family can no longer enjoy the family's benefits for free, they must learn to work.
The internal reform of the Hyuga family is a microcosm of the ninja clan in the village.
Under this great change that has not happened in a thousand years, in the newly unified country of the Kingdom of Light, all the ninja clan who have inherited a certain size and can still maintain a certain size understand that they are also going to change.
If you don't take the initiative to seek change, and you don't work hard to improve yourself, then I'm sorry, the ninja clan who joined from other villages are still waiting for you to go down, so that you can easily rise to the top.
There are only so many key positions in the village. If you are not capable, there will be many people waiting in line behind you.
The Sanshouyu clan behind Hanzo, the Taketori clan of Kirigakure village, the Yuki clan, the Oniden clan, the insect-riding clan of Iwagakure village, the family behind Onoki, the Yagamitsuki clan of Kumogakure Raikage, and other families,
They were all gearing up to look at the mid- to high-level positions in various departments in Konoha.
In order to accommodate these talents from the ninja clan, the village not only created many new departments, but also expanded the existing departments.
All these trends indicate that the future of Konoha and the future Kingdom of Light will become more and more complicated.
The ninjas who understand this are forming alliances externally and reforming themselves internally.
The Uchiha clan held a clan meeting at the family shrine, at which they reached a collective decision to develop into the military in the future.
For the Uchiha clan, which advocates fighting and advocating the strong, the military may be the most suitable stage for their development.
Opposite to the Uchiha is the Nara clan. The Nara clan reached a consensus after conducting internal meetings and communicating with the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans.
In the future, the development focus of the Nara clan will be concentrated on the village management department and the scientific research department. In terms of the military, except for the staff department, the Nara clan will not have any influence.
The other two families, the Akimichi clan, will develop into the military, while the Yamanaka clan will develop into the intelligence and espionage agencies.
The three tribes of Pig, Deer and Die hope to maintain the previous cooperation model and jointly complement each other through development in different fields to ensure the interests of the three tribes.
In addition to the above-mentioned ninja clan, the other ninja clan in Konoha basically position their future development direction in Konoha's army.
This choice is very normal!
After all, for hundreds of thousands of years, most ninjas have made a living by taking on missions and earning bounties.
For these ninjas, training and fighting have been engraved in their heritage.
Compared with other fields that are unknown and have not yet been accumulated, it is more familiar to continue to make a living in the military profession.
At the same time, perhaps because of the pressure brought by the ninja clans in other villages, the connections and relationships between the various ninja clans in Konoha have become closer.
In the square, the Konoha ninjas present were basically standing in the same direction.
Not only the ninja clan, but also the ninjas of Konoha basically stand together in groups.
When Kizaru led the village's senior officials to the square and onto the high platform, what he saw was that almost all the ninjas and village representatives from each village stood together in groups.
The various ninja villages can't be said to be clearly divided. At least they are incompatible with each other.
This situation made the smile on Kizaru's face lose a bit.
