Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future

"Minato, I will always support you!"

Kushina hugged Minato from behind and gently leaned against him.

"Thank you, Kushina."

Minato held Kushina's hand and responded affectionately.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, I'm still here! Minato, just go for it, I will always support you!"

Jiraiya, whose emotional intelligence was close to zero, immediately interjected with the same warm smile.

As a fellow orphan, he didn't need to worry.

Anyway, there was no need to take a stroll later; why not follow Minato and endure the hardships? Let's see if Minato can completely change the ninja village system and the entire ninja world!

"Sensei, thank you."

"Just that the education reform is fine. There's always a way to internally restrain those ninjas. But with economic reform, I worry it might be easy to separate from the Land of Fire and cause a war?"

Jiraiya became worried again.

He still preferred romance; he didn't want to see scenes of war breaking out and people being destroyed.

"I know. So I want to use a gentler method to gradually eliminate the village's dependence on the Land of Fire. Once the village can maintain more than half of its self-sufficiency, even if the Daimyo Mansion realizes it, there will be a way."

"But what if the Land of Fire incites other countries and ninja villages to confront Konoha?"

Jiraiya's thoughts were still limited by the cognition and worldview he had built since childhood.

His thinking was almost comparable to the brainwashing of Danzo.

This was unimaginable.

As a ninja, he was completely against the Daimyo.

Minato was slightly better; he had been to Konoha at the end of the Warring States Period and the beginning of Konoha, and had seen Madara's dismissive attitude towards the world, not taking the major countries and Daimyo seriously. Naturally, his respect for the Land of Fire and the Daimyo had diminished.

He knew even more that they had used ninjas and enslaved them.

"I will show no mercy to anyone who dares to attack Konoha!"

Minato spoke harshly, so much so that even the Fourth Raikage could not withstand the Bijudama. He wanted to see which ninja village could stop him.

Frankly speaking, except for Madara and Obito who hid in the darkness, Minato no longer regarded the other major ninja villages as significant threats.

"That makes sense! With you here, the other major villages may not dare to take the initiative to cause trouble."

Jiraiya smiled happily and felt lighter.

"That's right. I haven't been pleased with those high nobles for a long time. Many dangerous and deadly missions have been issued by them."

"When they lie in a drunken and wealthy state, they encourage ninjas to fight for their lives."

"These leeches should have been dealt with a long time ago!"

Kushina was equally furious.

Recalling the destruction of the Uzushiogakure Village, it was highly likely that some major countries were involved in that destruction.

Except for her being brought by Konoha and Mito.

None of the remaining members of the Uzumaki Clan joined the five major countries, and they all fled to small countries and villages to save their lives, which was one of the best pieces of evidence.

"Sir, do you know that the tragedy in the Land of Whirlpool is related to those major countries?"

Kushina looked at Lux hopefully, eager to get an answer.

This had always been a pain in her heart, buried for years and hard to overcome.

If she hadn't met Minato and become the Jinchuuriki of Kyuubi, she might have sought revenge alone.

"The tragedy in the Land of Whirlpool is related to several major countries!"

Lux affirmed.

He didn't know who was behind the destruction of the entire Uzushiogakure Village. However, it was certain that all the major countries were closely involved.

The Uzumaki Clan mastered many Sealing Techniques and was at the peak of core Sealing Technique technology, almost on par with the five major villages.

Only a few major villages could destroy such a powerful ninja village overnight.

There might even be some that collaborated!

Moreover, everyone knew that the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Techniques were so powerful that they could easily seal Bijuu.

The unfortunate Uzushiogakure Village thought that after marrying and forming an alliance with Konoha, they could sit back and relax.

It was a pity that they still underestimated the dangers of human hearts.

"It really was them! What about the Land of Fire?"

Kushina looked pained and felt very uncomfortable.

"Kushina, don't worry, I will give you an explanation. If it is discovered that the Land of Fire was involved in this in the future, I will never tolerate it!"

Minato hugged Kushina and promised gently yet firmly.

This was not only his promise to her but also because he didn't want Kushina to expand her hatred towards Konoha and Naruto.

Just stop this hatred on her own!

Lux continued: "Kushina is right. In the eyes of those great powers and nobles, you ninjas have never been treated as humans."

"Minato, do you know why every ninja village holds the Chunin Exam so grandly?"

"To improve the overall quality of Chunin, to filter out unsuitable Genin so they don't take risks seeking death, and to strengthen communication with other ninja villages."

There are many benefits to the Chunin Exam, and Minato only chose a few key points to explain.

"You're right. But why is the Chunin Exam open to the outside world, and why are nobles and representatives from various countries invited to observe it? If we held it privately and then announced the rankings, the effect would be almost the same, right? We could also keep some special ninjutsu secret to avoid becoming targets if leaked."

Minato was surprised and said hesitantly:

"Watching the competition in public can enhance one's prestige to a certain extent, right?"

"Yes, and that's also wrong."

"The reputation and strength of the five major villages are not shown by the Chunin Exam. This is a brutal baptism of war. The five major villages are the ones that can survive. If you really want to showcase your strength, why not hold a Jonin competition?"

"What is called the Chunin Exam is more about serving the nobles from various countries, so that the wealthy know which village is strong, and they can come to that village if they have a commission in the future."

"After each competition, this is one of the reasons why the powerful people in various countries never treat ninjas as humans."

As a ninja, you are in the middle of the game.

It is difficult to self-realize. But if you jump out and watch, it will become clearer.

Ninjas are caged in a large cage to fight, with tens of thousands of people watching, and there are even price records from the nobles.

Isn't this equivalent to a Colosseum and a slave trading place?

Come on, let me see.

Which family's black slave is stronger, whose black slave is better at fighting.

From now on, I will order to hire or buy someone's black slave!

"Ah? This…"

Minato, Jiraiya, and Kushina looked at each other.

Does it sound like that?

The Chunin Exam, which is valued by all ninjas, is like a group of naked dancers posing on stage for sale?

Only that on one side they sell beauty, and on the other side, they sell ninjutsu and lives.

There is hardly any difference in essence!

Economic independence can lead to personal independence.

Children who rely on their parents' financial support are not qualified to rebel, just as ninja villages and ninjas relying on major countries are not.

"So that's it, there's still this factor."

Minato nodded while thinking.

The more he thought about it, the more fearful he became, and he felt that the Land of Fire's control over Konoha was so deep that it reached a terrifying level!

"But, working hard for rewards is normal, right?"

Jiraiya frowned in confusion, still unable to turn around.

He was a lecherous old man traveling around the country, able to make money by writing books, scamming food and drink, very powerful, and having no family burdens.

Of course, one cannot understand the heavy burdens that ordinary ninjas carry.

Even as strong as Kakashi, he was severely injured and lay in the hospital for several days. After leaving the hospital, he couldn't rest for a moment and was immediately thrown into the next mission.

This was no longer simple labor dispatch; it could even be regarded as a kind of capital alienation for ninjas.

"Sensei, I also feel that ninjas should not be reduced to mere killing tools with great power."

"Minato, do you want to cancel the Chunin Exam? That's too radical."

"I…"
