After all, it's impossible to ask the various clans residing in Konoha to donate their ancestral ninjutsu, right?
No matter how you think about it, you won't get anyone's support.
However, Madara took some EC-level ninjutsu scrolls as a foundation and also acquired the "Great Fireball Technique," which the Uchiha were most skilled at.
It was also proposed that if there were any outstanding geniuses, each family would have the right to take them as apprentices.
Once they've become apprentices, what they should be taught next is no longer anyone else's business.
Many people initially opposed this approach.
However, Tobirama Senju, who stepped forward to explain the situation, convinced most people to agree.
Ban's move was to divide people's choices of aspirations.
They could either live their lives as ordinary people, or become ninjas and be chosen to embark on a new life.
Given the current size of Konoha, as long as one becomes a useful ninja, one's livelihood is guaranteed.
This recommendation process lasted for several years, and while the results were not particularly outstanding, it did cultivate a number of useful talents.
So much so that when people see ninjas carrying timber, tending fishponds, and using ninjutsu to cultivate the land, they often feel that times have changed.
The definition of a ninja has been separated from "production" in combat.
Those who were truly unable to perform such "delicate work" were assigned to the "security team".
They were responsible for escorting shipments or trading with ninjas in other areas.
But everyone also knows that the ninjas haven't stopped fighting.
Instead, they only become "killing" ninjas when necessary.
The establishment of Konoha was inevitably hindered by obstacles.
Putting everything else aside, the "unification" initiated by Madara and Hashirama alone caused immense suffering to many ninja clans.
You either join Konoha, or you'll have to take the beating and then make your stance clear.
Except for a very few madmen, most ninja clans were "forced" to relocate to Konoha.
Although their lives improved afterward, this put their minds at ease.
At least the security management here is very good, so there is no chance of any chaotic incidents.
Now, Izuna's job is to find new "ninja clans" and villages and persuade them to join.
In order to prevent the recurrence of the "Five Great Nations" in future generations, Madara was determined to recruit all the ninjas from various regions to Konoha.
Ordinary people don't need to worry about it at all. As long as the construction and living conditions in Konoha are done well, why worry that they won't come to join us on their own initiative?
If we can make Konoha the only pure land during the Warring States period, people will have to come even if they don't want to.
Moreover, the "Land of Fire" is a vast and resource-rich country, and it has no shortage of locations.
It can accommodate as many people as they come.
Due to their harsh treatment of ninjas, outsiders are actually somewhat worried.
But at least it won't indiscriminately kill innocent people, so it won't cause excessive panic.
Of course, none of this was without its challenges. Various ill-intentioned individuals caused trouble and sought revenge, but they were ultimately suppressed by Madara and Hashirama.
There is no ninja in this world who can defy the two of them.
"Is this right here?"
Looking at the small village before me, the houses were even riddled with holes, but the peaceful tranquility spoke of peace.
"Sir, the villagers have all been gathered here."
After waiting for a while in the vast open space, Izuna glanced at the people in front of him with their various expressions.
He could sense the presence of ninjas inside, so he became more vigilant.
"I am Uchiha Izuna from Konoha."
"We are currently seeking people who are willing to join us."
"As you probably know, even non-ninjas can live quite comfortably in our area."
"The land and houses you now possess will be restored to you in full."
"Those who wish to join can register with this Nara Shikaku."
This wasn't the first time he'd given such a speech, and he observed the situation with caution.
"Of course. As for ninjas, they must be brought under our jurisdiction."
Izuna's gaze fell on a woman with long black hair, and he was slightly taken aback.
picture.
so similar.
My first thought was that Izuna was like this.
this woman
He looks so much like his brother.
He could tell that the other person was a ninja, but he didn't sense any obvious hostility.
"What if I don't want to?"
Realizing that Izuna's words were directed at her, the woman spoke up.
"Then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Depending on your attitude and behavior, Konoha will take appropriate action."
This is truly an "extreme" approach.
They gave ordinary people a choice, but not ninjas.
Ordinary people might be tempted to go to Konoha because they yearn for a better life there.
The ninjas either joined voluntarily or were hunted down.
As Konoha grew stronger, no single ninja clan or individual could resist their "atrocities".
It's almost impossible for anyone to stop this situation from taking hold.
When anyone tries to join forces and imitate their methods, they are easily defeated by Madara and Hashirama.
As a result, in the vast ninja world, only "Konoha" has begun to take shape as a "country".
"I understand, I will join."
Holding the child's hand tightly, and staring at the headband on Izuna's forehead, the woman responded in a deep voice.
Although she didn't want to leave the village, staying there would only attract their pursuit, which wasn't the life she wanted.
Konoha ultimately formed a massive wave of change that she could not resist.
Of course, it was also because she heard that ninjas who joined Konoha would not be imprisoned or deprived of their freedom that she was willing to give up resisting.
If Konoha is a "hellish" place, it will inevitably provoke resistance from others.
.........
"Lord Hokage, the eastern front has been completely secured."
"After the publicity, 403 villagers came, including 13 individual ninjas and several ninja clans, including Kaguya and the Minazuki clan."
"Hmph, Hashirama did a pretty good job."
Upon hearing the report, Ban began to view his actions in a different light.
"I didn't expect you to bring so many ninjas."
Itama shook his head, already able to picture his older brother beating someone up and laughing with his arm around the person's shoulder.
Since Madara said to Hashirama that day, "If someone outside disagrees, fight him first, and maybe his attitude will change," that guy had an "enlightenment."
"You're not hurt, are you?"
After that, you could often hear Hashirama saying such things to people when he went out.
But every time Hashirama went out to persuade people, he always brought back quite a few.
I don't know whether I was convinced by his eloquence or by "physics".
"They're going to delineate new residential areas again."
Tobirama sighed, unsure of what to say.
There are many people, but we're not afraid of that, since my older brother is happy to do the house building work.
I'm afraid there might be malicious people inside, waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble.
If that happens, their guard team must respond as quickly as possible.
"So, you said before that the ninja groups in the Northeast were putting up a fierce resistance, right?"
Setting the scroll aside, Madara asked Tobirama beside him.
"The teams we sent out were all defeated, just as you predicted."
