January 1, the 61st year of Konoha, the beginning of the new year.
Last year, especially in the second half of last year, the ninja world was in turmoil. Three of the "shadows" of the five major hidden villages died. The position of the wind shadow has been vacant until now because of Ye Cang's return to the Sand Village and the scandal of the previous wind shadow Rasa.
Relying on the identity of "the hero of the Sand Village" and many middle-level ninjas who admire him, Ye Cang has quickly established or restored his prestige, while Gaara's popularity has plummeted due to the scandal of his father. At present, Ye Cang is more likely to become the fifth wind shadow!
In addition, the fifth generation of Hokage eventually fell on the head of the orphan of the Uchiha clan, and part of the truth of the genocide incident that year was revealed, which really blinded many people's eyes...
The "autistic" Kirigakure ended the blood mist policy, and the "fifth generation of Mizukage" who came to power was also surprising.
The major event of the same level as the "succession of the new shadow" of the two major hidden villages is the establishment of the Northern Alliance.
When Konoha's focus shifted to the Land of Rain again, and the Land of Earth was forced to sink part of its energy into the quagmire of the Hidden Rain Land, the Northern Alliance, which was based on the Land of Field and connected many northern powers, was established!
And right from the start, a vigorous war for the unification of the north began. With the intervention of the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Thunder Village, it still quickly pacified the north, becoming a super power with a territory and population no less than the five major countries, and a number of ninjas slightly less than the five major hidden villages.
The most important thing is that the tough policy of the integration of the Ninja Country has been thoroughly implemented in the Northern Alliance, and after the unification, the policy of "Ninja registration" and "entry and exit certificates" was immediately started...
Many forces in the north in the form of families either moved out in advance, or accepted the new regulations, or... were crushed under the concentrated sweep of the alliance ninjas!
Although this move caused the ninja families in the five hidden villages to begin to resist the Northern Alliance, it finally cleared the obstacles for the regional implementation of "chakra civilianization"...
On January 1, the 61st year of Konoha, the Northern Alliance, which had basically eliminated internal troubles, officially announced that the northern countries would fully communicate with each other and reorganize the "Renewal Federation", which means "everything will be renewed".
In the same year, the "Federation Calendar" was implemented in the north, which was the first year of the Federation.
There were no countries or ninja village organizations within the Federation. Counties were uniformly established as local administrative regions, governed by the Supreme Council, and the "Federation Army" composed of ninjas was stationed in fortresses near the main cities of each county.
Some of the former nobles and officials of the various countries who were in office but did nothing were dismissed, and some practical people continued to serve in administrative affairs. The former royal family had fiefs of one county at least and three counties at most, and only had the right to eat and not interfere in administration. The former kings were all representatives of the counties to temporarily calm people's hearts.
Just when the officials of the five major countries were not ready to express their dissatisfaction with the large-scale abandonment of the royal families of various countries by the ninja organizations, the Northern Alliance... no, the Renewal Federation was constantly making big moves, almost leaving the five major countries no time to ask for punishment!
On January 15, the Renewal Federation officially announced that after the cancellation of the Ninja Village, the official organization of the Renewal Federation would no longer undertake commissioned tasks. At the same time, bandit suppression, pursuit of criminals, and ensuring the safety of caravans in the Federation were directly written into the scope of the duties of the Federation Army.
In the previous half a month, the Federation has indeed been taking practical actions to prove that this is not a joke!
The Federation Army no longer separates ninjas and ordinary militias. Genin and Chunin are also placed in the grassroots security militia. The general regional banditry has completely lost its depth under the cooperation of various places and the encirclement and suppression by multiple parties...
What makes countless Northland bandits shudder is that the Fenghuoshan bandits, one of the three major mountain strongholds in the Northland, who rely on the geographical advantage and do not even take the small ninja village seriously, were directly strangled by several elite ninja-level ninjas. The geographical advantage is useless in front of the absolute strong, and no one is left alive!
For a time, bandits in various places either disbanded or fled to other countries...
Not only did the Federation no longer accept "mission commissions", but ninjas from other ninja villages entering the Federation territory were also required to obtain a permit before entering. Violators were wanted for illegal entry.
At first, many caravans were worried that doing so would affect safety, but gradually found that there were no major bandit problems in the north, and there were official "trains" running in the north. Although the freight was not cheap and the tax rate was higher than that of other major countries, it was actually easier to do business in general... However,
for the Renewal Federation, it first abolished the countries, then abolished the ninja villages, and now even the mission system has been uprooted. I don't know how many people in the entire ninja world sneered when they mentioned the "Federation New Deal".
On February 1, the real "blockbuster" just hit!
The "Renewal Alliance" officially announced that practicing chakra is a right given to everyone by the Six Paths Sage, and freely refining chakra is the innate right of everyone, which is sacred and inalienable. At the same time, the chakra refining method is promoted throughout the territory.
Even in remote areas where few people can read, special ninjas are sent to teach, ensuring that at least one person in every three neighboring households has a basic grasp of the common sense of chakra refining and is willing to answer questions for neighbors.
At the same time, various improved crop seeds are released, with short maturity and high yield. In addition, ninjas from all over the country will assist with special agricultural tools driven by special chakras...
While increasing the yield, the convenience of chakra is also promoted to increase the interest of ordinary people in refining chakra. At the same time, the increase in crop yield is also the basis for the emergence of chakra owners!
As for the middle ninjas and the jonins, they also took advantage of the fact that the war had not started, and used ninjutsu such as earth escape and water escape to open up a large amount of wasteland and lease it to civilians for cultivation...
Although the rent and production taxes are higher, because of the surge in total output, if chakra is not refined, every household can ensure a large amount of surplus food for a year.
At the same time, a large part of the purpose of high taxes is used to reward those who successfully refine chakras!
On March 1, when the high-yield crops matured, the Federation issued a bill to encourage chakra extraction. Those
who successfully extracted chakra to the level equivalent to ninja school graduates and ordinary ninjas must report to the Federation, and there are also generous rewards, and special farm tools can be rented at a low price. After completing
the chakra level assessment, you can enjoy federal benefits every month.
In addition, there are level 4, 6, and 8 assessments that tend to be physical and mental cultivation, and there are additional benefits after passing.
All you have to pay is that the registered chakra owner must attend classes nearby every month and receive ideological education...
Of course, few people know at this time that the so-called "level 4, 6, and 8 assessments" refer to "after the body has been transformed and equipped with special chakra armor, it can withstand the same chakra burst as the Nine-Tails in the four-tail, six-tail, or eight-tail state" level survey...
In other words, those who have passed the level 8 assessment are all strong in thought, able to accept the lofty goal of "changing the ninja world", and after human body transformation and external assistance, they can quickly exert the strongest reserve army of artificial Jinchūriki!
Even ordinary chakra owners who have passed level 4 or 6 can be armed as jonin or elite jonin level fighters after the war begins.
Of course, no civilians have been able to pass the test yet. However, some of the ninjas from the original ninja villages have passed the CET-4 and CET-6 exams...
When the Federation just announced the "Chakra Refining for All" and produced a large number of high-yield crops, all the countries were caught off guard!
The reason why they did not react immediately was that the seeds of high-yield crops soon flowed to the surrounding major countries and spread to the entire ninja world...
"Seeds" cannot be kept secret for a long time. They are easy to get and anyone can touch them, so the Renewal Federation did not want to keep them secret from the beginning.
Therefore, the major countries did not think that the Renewal Federation could rely on the inexplicable "Chakra Refining for All" decree to gain any huge advantages.
Along with the seeds, the "Chakra Refining Method" also flowed into the people of various countries!
Most of the senior officials of the major hidden villages believed that the "refining method" alone was not enough to train ninjas...
Even if those mud legs had chakra, they could not even do the basic three-body technique. Could they be considered ninjas?
At most, they were stronger than ordinary people and could use chakra farm tools!
As for the chakra farm tools to increase production?
Those farm tools can also be bought in the Renewal Alliance. Although they are not cheap, they are not unacceptable...
Therefore, they do not think that the "Chakra Refining for All" of the Renewal Alliance will bring much benefit to it.
However, the five hidden villages have different reactions to the "Chakra Refining Method" flowing into the people of their country!
