Chapter 532: Future Planning

"It seems I'll have to turn to the Five Great Nations," Shishou thought.

Faced with the challenge of popularizing chakra extraction techniques, Shishou immediately considered the Five Great Nations.

Katsuyu, who was beside him, suggested, "Why don't you just unify the world directly?"

With Shishou's current power, unifying the world and establishing a theocratic government would be a simple task.

However, Shishou shook his head and said, "And then what? After unifying the world, we'd still need people from the ninja world to manage it. My companions and I can't spend all our time on governance; we'd have to rely on the people of the ninja world to manage themselves."

"Dividing them into separate nations that check each other's power is actually more convenient for me to control."

"Otherwise, if everything were unified, those in power would inevitably develop ambitions they shouldn't have."

"While it wouldn't cause me much trouble, it would still be a nuisance, wouldn't it?"

Power is something that, once acquired, leads to a desire for more. Although he could easily unify the ninja world into a single nation, a few thousand years later, those in power would undoubtedly seek even more.

Moreover, if a nation lacks external conflicts, internal ones are bound to arise, and social classes would solidify faster. The rich would get richer, the poor would get poorer, and the common people would lose any hope of rising through the ranks, leading to increased tensions.

In such a scenario, the unified nation would eventually split, resulting in significant civilian casualties.

Given this, it's better to maintain the current system, where the Five Great Nations oversee the ninja world, generally maintaining peace. His Moon Palace would retain its detached and superior position, ready to strike down anyone who stirs up trouble, thus preserving long-lasting peace.

"Balance of power, huh," Katsuyu nodded, understanding Shishou's reasoning.

Next, Shishou began summoning the lords of the Five Great Nations under the name of the Moon Palace.

When they learned that the Moon Palace intended to spread chakra extraction techniques to every person in the ninja world, all five nations collectively opposed the idea.

Currently, the ninja forces of each nation already gave them enough headaches. If everyone gained the ability to use ninjutsu, the resulting conflicts would undoubtedly be even more numerous and could even threaten the lords themselves.

Shishou understood the concerns of the Five Great Nations.

If everyone had access to chakra, public safety would likely deteriorate, and the cost of governance for the Five Great Nations would skyrocket.

It would be like his previous life in America, where the lack of gun control led to daily shootouts.

However, Shishou had a solution.

Chakra isn't like guns, which anyone can use. Mastery of chakra requires six or seven years of training in a ninja academy.

Even then, most ordinary people would only be able to use basic techniques like the Clone Technique or Shurikenjutsu, making them only marginally stronger than regular people.

During those six or seven years, the Five Great Nations could strengthen the students' ideological education, continually teaching them to value peace and prohibit private duels.

So all Shishou needed was for each nation to establish a comprehensive security system and rapidly enhance their law enforcement teams, ensuring that public safety would be adequately managed.

At the same time, to fully integrate chakra into everyone's lives in the ninja world, Shishou planned to create a robust promotion system and framework.

This system would be based on the ninja ranking system and contribution points.

In Shishou's plan, the Moon Palace would introduce a ninja ranking and contribution system to the ninja world.

In this system, individuals could be evaluated based on the amount of chakra they possess, determining their ninja rank.

The ranks would range from the lowest level of Ninja Apprentice, followed by Genin, Elite Genin, Chunin, Elite Chunin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, up to Kage.

In this system, anyone who achieved the corresponding rank would receive rewards from the Moon Palace, such as money, ninjutsu, and more.

For example, reaching Genin rank would earn 500 ryo, achieving Elite Genin would earn 1,000 ryo or a C-rank ninjutsu technique.

This would encourage everyone in the ninja world to engage in training.

Additionally, Shishou planned for the Moon Palace to collaborate with the nations to issue corresponding ninja rank missions, allowing everyone to complete tasks for monetary rewards and contribution points based on their rank.

For instance, donating a Genin-level amount of chakra would earn one contribution point, while completing a C-rank mission would earn five contribution points.

Individuals could then use these contribution points to exchange for various items from the Moon Palace.

For example, if someone wanted to learn a C-rank ninjutsu, they would need 25 contribution points. If they didn't have enough points, they would have to work hard on missions or diligently extract chakra to trade for points.

Of course, to ensure the collection of chakra, Shishou would adjust the number of missions based on the amount of chakra collected.

The more chakra collected, the more missions there would be. If less chakra is collected, the number of missions would decrease, ensuring a steady supply of chakra.

Among the rewards available for contribution points, Shishou planned to include items that ordinary people would dream of obtaining.

For example, resurrecting a specific deceased person, extending one's life, or even receiving a White Zetsu wife.

With such incentives, he doubted anyone would resist the urge to diligently extract chakra.

Moreover, Shishou intended to integrate the ninja ranking system and contribution points into every aspect of life in the ninja world.

For instance, if you wanted to open a multi-million ryo company, you'd need to be at least a Jonin.

To become a famous celebrity? Chunin is the minimum requirement.

Want to work in a factory? Sorry, we only hire those with at least Genin-level qualifications.

Out of money for food? One contribution point earned from donating chakra can get you three days' worth of meals, so start extracting chakra right away.

Of course, Shishou knew that implementing these changes would take time. It wouldn't happen overnight; it would take at least a century, spanning several generations.

But as an immortal being, he had all the time in the world.

As for the lords of the Five Great Nations, they didn't know what to say about Shishou's plans.

Because if Shishou were serious about implementing these changes, the Moon Palace's existence would increasingly threaten the Five Great Nations.

In response, Shishou used Kotoamatsukami to control them all.

Afterward, the Five Great Nations began preparing their respective ninja villages for expanded academy enrollment, as per Shishou's wishes.

Shishou didn't plan to immediately popularize chakra extraction techniques. Instead, he intended to start with the younger generation and gradually implement the change over time, ensuring a stable transition.

At the same time, he ordered the Five Great Nations to accelerate the second wave of immigration efforts, preparing to fill every corner of the ninja world and further develop the population.
