Chapter 235: The Messiah of the New World
Chapter 235: The Messiah of the New World
Noticing the obvious reluctance on the faces of those present, Naruto did not attack them head-on, but simply explained:
- I want to assure you that although the clan system will disappear, no one will cancel your kinship and ties, as well as the age-old traditions of your ancestors. The only thing I mean by "disbandment" is your own order and isolation from the whole village. Like any family, you will retain the basic rules, views on training, but you will lose the ability to form your own shinobi, except in certain situations. Of course, you will also not be able to dispose of the military forces and resources belonging to your clan, because all your property will go to the state.
Naruto looked at Temari intently and added:
- Some of you can still continue to fulfill their duties and take part in military development, the production of weapons, but all this will be strictly controlled not by your clans, but by the state. Any member of your clan will be equal before the law, like any ordinary shinobi, this also applies to the heads of families, any of those present. As for your power over people of your kind - they will be minimal. Turning to Hiashi, Naruto added frowningly:
- None of you and your elders will have the right to punish and harm members of your clan as it was before, after all, all that will bind you is blood and surname, common traditions and upbringing, but not clan dogmas. No seals on relatives and division into branches. All members of your clans will be able to choose their own future, and as for secret techniques and other things, we will discuss this after. In the end, it's not easy for you to come to terms with the fact that all your power will disappear and your clan will become just a big family.
Naruto nodded with a sigh.
- I can understand this, but in my opinion, it is impossible to create a nation and solve its needs, continuing to stray into groups defending their own interests, and only barely acting for the good of the country. You and I must think about the good of the whole Country! We are responsible for it, whether you like it or not. I would even say that someone is responsible for the entire continent and this entire planet. Although, I still plan to discuss some of my ideas at the next Council of Five. The military organization should become integral, although militarization is not canceled, but its basic principles will change, especially with the formation of a complete country and the ways of its development. Regarding this, I have a couple of ideas, Shizune will give you the documents for a more detailed acquaintance with all my ideas. The Will of Fire will be rebuilt not only on shinobi and our entire caste of mercenaries, but on every inhabitant of the country. The so-called partnership and mutual assistance, self-sacrifice for the good of the Village will be transformed into heroic deeds in the name of the homeland. In general, I think you will understand the concept once you are familiar with the data.
Naruto nodded to Shizune, to which she immediately responded with a short nod, then pulled out a scroll and printed out a stack of documents. Quite quickly, everyone in the hall began to familiarize themselves with a dozen pages written personally by the Seventh Hokage for the future formation of the state. Naturally, he wrote only theories and his views, short ideas on the methods of reform. He in no way considered himself an economist, a great politician, but rather a person with knowledge and exemplary ideas. Only using logic and his memories, he could build an approximate development plan, but in no case could he accurately calculate the route of movement. This is precisely why advice was needed, after all, it is impossible to win without pieces on the board. One way or another, you need to move someone, manage and act, take steps, make mistakes, win.
Naruto was not too worried about the details that his supporters would try to implement, all he wanted was to implement his own ideology that he could personify. Present an unattainable truth, and then, its main personification in the person of one person! In religious concepts, there has always been someone who is considered the most significant figure, not equal to the deity, but rather his personification on the land of mortals. This is what Naruto wanted to achieve, to become the most important figure in the hearts of these people, the only way to achieve absolute control.
All those ideological ideas one way or another influencing the minds of the masses, he was still able to recall, at least Konoha already had an authoritarian system of government, all that remained was to remove the clan system, change the will of fire to something more extensive and thus influence the people in the village, and then and throughout the Country! Of course, Naruto also introduced revolutionary footnotes, attempts to change people's perceptions and make them hope for the greatest Revolution with the support of the Land of Fire, whose flame should spread throughout the world and make ordinary oppressed people rise up! Of course, if everyone has the right to become part of a free and equal country, and even with the support of the shinobi, won't ordinary people cheer up and believe in a new world order? This is what Naruto was aiming for, he wanted to make these people feel the brightest emotions! Liberty! Justice! Equality! Brotherhood! Unity!
And only he will become the personification of all their dreams and aspirations! Naruto Uzumaki will become the messiah of the new world! After all, people love with all their hearts to deify the real, the person behind great accomplishments. It is worth changing the world and giving millions a choice, justice, as each of them, like fanatics who saw hints of divinity, will become even more devoted.
In words, everything is simple, but in practice ... Naruto naturally could not create a banal cult and force people to worship him. Everything should pass as imperceptibly as possible, but at the same time ruthlessly, in the spirit of the Totalitarian Leader with incredible strength and determination! It is not easy to create your own cult from an ideological background, created to strive for true social equality, it requires intelligence, power and tremendous willpower!
