Chapter 468: Nine-Rank System
In Ino's plan, the Nine-Rank System is a system and a ritual.
What is the essence? The essence is still that whoever has the bigger fist has the right words.
She also mixed a lot of Zuo Lengchan's ideas of merging the Five Mountains into the Nine-Rank System . Relying on deception, she first got everyone under a set of rules, and then gave the Kage of the other four ninja villages the title of "Hokage Half-Sleeves", let them adapt for a period of time, and then started to merge. She picked the weakest ones, and Sand Village and Mist Village were more suitable.
Jiraiya took Ino's outline and asked, "Who is this Otsutsuki clan? Is it the Sage of Six Paths?"
Ino said excitedly, "Yes, the contribution of the Six Paths Sage is greater than the sky. Without the Six Paths Sage, there would be no Ninja World today. The old man's mind is broader than the ocean, and his wisdom is more majestic than the mountains. His footprints are all over the Ninja World, from the western foot of the mountains to the end of the ocean. The descendants who have received his kindness are more numerous than the stars in the sky."
Jiraiya: “.”
Tsunade: “.”
This is talking about your father, right? There is no one around, is it necessary to brag so much? This is just a draft, we can discuss it later, Jiraiya, continue to read it.
The Otsutsuki clan is classified as the best of the nine grades, which is the first grade. Now, there is no Otsutsuki clan within the atmosphere, so this column is empty, and no family will be able to reach this level in the future. The position of the first grade is just honorable, but has no practical effect.
The Senju clan made great contributions to the establishment of Konoha Village. Hashirama Senju and Tobirama disbanded the Senju clan and dispersed its members throughout the entire Konoha Village. They hoped to eliminate the stubborn disease of the ninja family bit by bit by setting an example themselves. However, the fact is that the Senju clan disappeared, while the ninja family remained the same. This move was obviously a wrong one.
Ino believed that Tsunade could rebuild the Senju clan, and later classified the Senju clan as the second grade.
The Uchiha clan, who were as famous as the Senju clan, were a bit troublesome, so she specifically noted that if the Uchiha clan performed great merits, they could also be ranked as second rank.
Who are the remaining Uchiha now? Itachi is one, Sasuke is one, and Sakura is considered a spiritual Uchiha, at most half.
Itachi was going to die soon, and even if they were given a high rank of the second rank, they wouldn't be able to develop much power.
Speaking of which, Ino's first and second rank are both very weak. Does the Otsutsuki need the gold and silver treasures of the ninja world? Do the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan need the ninjutsu of the Leaf Village?
In fact, the real theme only appears in the third chapter.
Sarutobi, Hyuga, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, they are all in the three grades.
These are the top parts of the pyramid.
If the ninja world is unified in the future, the families of Temari, Mei Terumi, and Kurotsuchi can also be classified into this level.
That’s it for the top three grades.
In the middle three ranks, that is, upper-middle, middle-middle, and lower-middle ranks, there are even more ninja families.
The Inuzuka, Aburame, branches of some large families, and ninja families from other ninja villages are all included in this scope.
The lower three grades are mainly aimed at civilian ninjas.
The Nine Ranks is a hierarchy from low to high, and Zhongzheng is a means of selecting talents. The power of Zhongzheng will be placed in the hands of the Hokage, which is equivalent to giving up most of the benefits to the ninja family. The Hokage still firmly controls the personnel power.
The Nine-Rank System is also linked to the existing ninja ranks in the ninja world.
A ninja of the middle third rank can directly serve as a Genin when entering a ninja village to work, and a ninja of the upper third rank can start as a Chunin when entering a ninja village.
Jiraiya studied it for a while. He liked the part about eliminating war, but he was still confused about the rest. "Well, according to your system, what about the Hokage? How will the future Hokage be selected?"
Ino whispered, "I think it is more appropriate to select the Hokage from the top three ranks. If we unify the ninja world, there will be no so-called ninja villages. We are all one family. If Mei Terumi makes great contributions in the future, she can be the Hokage."
The existing Hokage selection system actually has big problems. The Hokage candidates must be from the so-called "Hokage line". Back and forth, there are actually only a few candidates, and the promotion channel is so narrow. How can it be possible to unify the ninja world?
Jiraiya couldn't help but think of Mei Terumi's graceful figure. He shook his head vigorously to get rid of these strange thoughts. Even if Zabuza became Hokage, he would not choose Mei Terumi. The Kirigakure betrayed the alliance, which was too much harm to Konoha.
"What if a civilian ninja wants to become Hokage?"
Ino pointed at Tsunade and said, "Hokage also needs the support of his family. If he is indeed a civilian ninja with outstanding strength, then I think he can marry into a family of the upper third rank. For example, a certain immortal from Myoboku Mountain can marry into the Senju family, and then he will be considered a second rank ninja."
Tsunade snorted proudly: "I don't want him."
Jiraiya pondered for a moment. The Nine-Rank System definitely had its good side. At least it made clear many of the regulations that were previously implicit.
Before, he asked Kakashi, Ino and others to carefully create a few C-level and D-level ninjutsu for civilian ninjas to exchange. In fact, it was the same approach, that is, he wanted to give more ninjutsu to civilian ninjas.
Now Ino's system has brought huge benefits to the ninja families, but at the same time, the five major ninja villages have been merged into one, and the knowledge of ninjutsu has been gathered together. The civilian ninjas will have a wider range of choices. They can choose the puppetry of Sand Village and the ninjutsu of Kumo Village. With more choices, it is definitely much better than the leftovers that Konoha had before.
In addition to the secret techniques and bloodline limits of the major families, many low-level ninjutsu can be further opened up. Ninja families are busy gaining territory in the entire ninja world and expanding their influence. They have no time to care about civilian ninjas. If they are indeed outstanding talents, then three or five people forming a family can also allow the family to step into the ranks of the middle three grades.
Jiraiya thought about it for three days but still couldn't make up his mind, so he still used the old method and asked for help from Myoboku Mountain.
After listening to his troubles, Fukasaku and Shima looked at each other, and then Fukasaku nodded helplessly: "Jiraiya, I think this is a good idea."
Jiraiya: “???”
What's going on? Myoboku-san used to be very secretive about what he said and did, but why is he so direct now? Does the Child of Prophecy have such a big influence on you? Fukasaku was in a dilemma, but the Great Toad Sage made it clear that he wanted his support, so what could he do? He looked thoughtful at first, then nodded seriously: "Actually, I think we can give it a try, maybe it will work?"
This is the fundamental system. Is this just a “trial” thing?
Jiraiya felt a little dissatisfied with Myobokusan's attitude.
Fukasaku knew he was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
The Six Paths Sage cares about the entire ninja world. It is his only support and the collection of all his beliefs. He doesn't care about a particular ninja or a particular ninja village. As long as it can make the ninja world better, he will support it.
