Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 127 How was Runren forged?

Uchiha Makoto had already decided where to send those cruel and ruthless people.

That's a ninja school and a movie company.

Needless to say, ninja academies are a great option, and for cruel individuals, becoming a teacher at a ninja academy is definitely a good choice.

Moreover, a group of wounded veterans who have retired from the battlefield, even if they are just low-level genin, would be more than capable of teaching a group of greenhorns at the ninja academy.

The latter's film company, of course, did so for publicity.

For plans like cultural invasion.
Uchiha Makoto had actually had this idea for a long time, but the timing wasn't right before, so he had only been making small-scale attempts.

The old guard from the Warring States period is still around. For them, "if you can't compete, you will die" is not just an empty phrase. They are a group of highly patriotic individuals who can easily accept great power chauvinism.

Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the great victory and let Akatsuki take a formal step forward. By relying on newspapers, novels, defectors, and movies to spread the doctrine of light, we can strive to leave the impression that Akatsuki ninjas are handsome men and beautiful women, and that they are fighters who fight to protect the peace of the ninja world.

Consistent output.

Xiaoren can be equated with justice.

In this war, Uchiha Makoto had already tasted the benefits. With this title, everything became much easier. Even in a premeditated sneak attack, countless scholars would stand up to defend Akatsuki.

Of course, this is only one of the benefits.

Most importantly, it can attract more funds and bring more talent to Akatsuki. Akatsuki itself recovers quickly, so it has more funds. Backed by the Land of Fire, it can accumulate more advantages. This snowballing effect will eventually lead to the ninjas voting with their feet and being the first to snatch away Konoha's new generation of talent!

"Xiaolaiwu?"

"Making a movie"

"Wouldn't it be beneath our dignity if we ninjas did this kind of work?"

Makoto Uchiha revealed some of his thoughts to Shinji Uzumaki, and he could understand why Makoto wanted to send the cruel and ruthless to the ninja academy as a teacher.

After all, this is a respectable and prestigious profession.

However, when it came to asking ninjas to "neglect their duties" and make movies, Shinji Uzumaki was limited by his own thinking; he only felt that Makoto Uchiha's ideas were extremely unorthodox.

As a veteran ninja, Shinji Uzumaki was well aware of the lives of those small ninja factions and those wandering ninja in the ninja world. They had neither reliable sources of missions nor a good reputation accumulated over the years. However, in order to make a living, they sometimes had no choice but to take on some gray-area missions.

Robbing people on the street, working as a thug for gambling dens, collecting debts for loan sharks—these are definitely not respectable professions.

There are also even worse ninjas, whose strength is so weak that they don't even want to collect debts for the Yakuza.

Ultimately, he chose to become a stuntman, doing stunt work that ordinary people cannot do.

In short, only a bunch of low-level ninjas would do something like this.

Doing these low-class jobs

What kind of future can a ninja have?
Akatsuki Village and the Uzumaki Clan are not minor forces in the ninja world; they are renowned and influential powers.

A ninja! He should look like a ninja!

If someone forgets their primary duty, they are destined not to become an excellent ninja!
"."

"They really are as old-fashioned as I imagined."

Uchiha Makoto was speechless for a moment, but fortunately, he had already overcome the obstruction of the conservative faction of the Akatsuki clans and had developed a certain immunity to it. The old ninjas from the Warring States period were really difficult to communicate with.

Constantly talking about what ninjas did... what? Are they still ninjas then?

There is also a hierarchy of contempt among ninjas in the ninja world. The highest level is naturally Jonin, who often undertake S or A-rank missions. Completing a single mission can earn them millions of ryo, allowing them to become famous and make a name for themselves in the ninja world. Their income can also put them in the upper class. All others are heretics!
It is well known that for devout believers, heresy is more hateful than paganism.

To some extent.

Ok.

Makoto Uchiha was a heretic, a complete and utter heretic.

He can even get ninja academy students to neglect their studies and occasionally go to construction sites to work as extracurricular activities, doing things for free, without paying them, all under the pretext of training their taijutsu. Isn't that heretical?

The commoner ninja had no objections.

Their parents didn't have any objections either.

After all, their parents are ordinary people with little experience, and they generally believe that the school must have its reasons for doing so, and that listening to the school's arrangements is definitely the right thing to do!

However, the ninja clans actually had objections.

They didn't send their clan members to the ninja academy to be free laborers; they could only complain about it in private because of Uchiha Makoto's status.

Of course, Makoto Uchiha did this not just to freeload off the students' labor, but more importantly, to subtly change the mindset of the new generation. Being a ninja is just a job; you can do any kind of work!

It's important to understand that this era wasn't just about a single ninja village.

It was also an industrial age!

Since the end of the Warring States period.

The economy has been growing rapidly in recent years, and all sorts of cutting-edge technologies have inexplicably emerged in the ninja world.

According to the technology shown in the storyline, by the end of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's reign, the information technology revolution had already begun.

It can be said that in just forty or fifty years, the ninja world has gone through three industrial revolutions.

Makoto Uchiha had been actively contacting these nobles and wealthy merchants in the ninja world, and knew far more than the average ninja. The laboratories under the control of these nobles and wealthy merchants were also quite capable, after all, when it came to making money, their reactions were always swift.

New capitalists are investing and increasing production everywhere.

Hayek's immense power silently enveloped the entire ninja world.

Capital is coming.

The big one is coming!
Since times have changed, the heavy burden on the shoulders of the Sengoku ninja must be shed.

The Akatsuki Village was bound to experience a period of rapid development after the war, so naturally they would do whatever was profitable and promote whatever could expand their influence.

In short, we must do everything possible to improve all the indicators of Akatsuki Village.

It emphasizes pragmatism.

The final interpretation of the Will of Light rests with you.

Lord Guangying completely disregarded the strange and peculiar principles inherent in Sengoku ninjas, as long as they were loyal. He believed it was essential to make the most of this rare period of peace and accumulate more power.

The older generation can no longer be changed.

Uchiha Makoto also had no intention of continuing to entangle with this group of old Sengoku veterans.

The post-war baby boom will provide him with enough new generations to replace the older generation of ninjas.

Although the battle between Akatsuki and Kumogakure was large-scale, it was at most a localized war. Since the era of the ninja villages, the ninja world had been relatively peaceful overall. The post-war baby boom had already occurred. Except for the tragic Kumogakure, whose life was rather miserable afterward, most ninjas were accumulating wealth. If their children could live peacefully and smoothly, that would be the greatest hope of their parents.

This endless, cesspool of mutual slaughter is a world that Uchiha Makoto will eventually have to end himself.

Even the most rigid ninjas cannot suppress their pursuit of a happy life. If they can stay in the village and make money peacefully, who would be willing to risk their lives to make a living?

Uchiha Makoto had many thoughts running through his mind, but he had completely given up the desire to debate with Uzumaki Shinji, and simply said directly:
"Your thinking is too extreme. I'm not going to argue with you, Shinji. I just want to ask you one question!" "To do it or not to do it? Give me a straight answer!"

"I'll do it!"

Shinji Uzumaki, on the other hand, was quite self-aware.

He had long realized that he could no longer keep up with Uchiha Makoto's way of thinking. It didn't matter if he couldn't understand, he could just follow along. The Akatsuki would definitely not betray his ally.

It's just about making movies.

While it may indeed be a loss of ninja dignity, the Akatsuki village has personally intervened, and the Uzumaki clan has even gone all in with the Akatsuki on such a dangerous matter as war, so it doesn't really matter.

"Ah, not bad."

Uchiha Makoto nodded.

He knew this was the ninja tool mentality at work; under the influence of this outdated ideology, ninjas had an innate obedience to their superiors. Although the ninja code of conduct made them instinctively refuse to engage in any profession outside of ninja missions, the Shadow Lord had ordered them to change!

Clearly, low-level code like the ninja tool theory has a higher priority.

Even the worst things have their good side!

"Cheng, what should our first film in Xiaolaiwu be about?"

"It's not simple yet."

"Ninjas should make movies like the war films we're good at. For example, based on the war between Akatsuki and Kumogakure, we could tell a story about Akatsuki being forced into war, and how a mother in Akatsuki had several children who went to the battlefield. But because of the cruelty of war, her children were killed one after another within a month, leaving only the protagonist, Chunin Pain."

"But Pain was very unlucky because the friendly forces from Konoha were slow to provide support (emphasis added), and he was surrounded by the vicious Cloud Ninja. So his superiors sent a small team to rescue him, but they all died in the battle. Pain survived, and the movie is called 'Saving the Chunin Pain'."

Shinji Uzumaki pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"It does sound good, although it's not very realistic. I'm afraid only ordinary people would believe such a story. How could something like this, a mere Chunin, be possible?"

"Shinji, don't forget why our Akatsuki village started this war!"

"It's all about seeking justice for the few Chunin who died!"

"And is there more ninja than ordinary people in the ninja world? We are targeting the entire ninja world; they are the main audience for the film. The hearts and minds of the people are on our side. Only such a film has meaning in its production."

Uchiha Makoto couldn't help but laugh.

As a time traveler, he had many excellent scripts in his mind. He could easily adapt some ninja world stories to local contexts.

However, his choice of this script as his first major hit was not arbitrary.

After a few years of rest and recuperation, everyone can actually save up some money, and this script is enough to attract the attention of ordinary people.

The director can go to the Land of Fire to find an excellent director. As for polishing the plot, the most important thing for war films has always been the depiction of war scenes. This is difficult for ordinary film crews to reproduce, but it is too easy for the Akatsuki Village.

A group of veterans who have been on the battlefield can recreate authentic war scenes.

They can effortlessly pull off all sorts of high-difficulty scenes, including shuriken shooting, explosive tags, and ninjutsu clashes. Their acting skills are beyond question; no one understands ninja warfare better than them!
Several sets of combined punches are enough to make ordinary people who have never seen ninja wars exclaim with excitement, which should easily extract a sum of money from their wallets.

the most important is.

It's all for promoting Akatsuki!
This movie can resonate with all the lower-level ninjas in the ninja world.

Although Jonin may only serve as background figures in some battles, they are undoubtedly high-ranking members of the entire ninja world. They are a very rare group of people, and every Jonin can be called a genius.

The largest groups in the entire ninja world have always been genin and chunin, who form the cornerstone of the ninja world.

They are the lowest strata of society.

Nobody usually pays attention to it.

Among the high-ranking members of the ninja village, they are pitiful creatures who can be abandoned and sacrificed at any time.

They were treated as consumables.

Their lives are not lives at all.

But
These people are actually living life to the fullest!
Caring for the underprivileged ninjas has always been a false proposition.

After all, who cares about consumables?
Will Konoha care?

For the sake of peace in the ninja world, the first to be sacrificed were actually genin and chunin!

Otherwise, Hashirama Senju would have personally intervened to take down those Kumogakure black demons immediately.

Which ninja village is the most humane?

They are most compassionate towards the lower-class ninjas.

Who would really care about them?

Not just talk, right?
no doubt.

The answer is already there.

That would naturally be the Akatsuki Village under the leadership of Master Kage.

Although the movie's plot contains fictional elements, everyone knows that Makoto Uchiha, enraged by the deaths of three Chunin, launched a war against the Hidden Cloud Village.

This is how Makoto Uchiha promoted himself.

He himself has put his own ideas into practice, and can be included in the standard template of the unity of knowledge and action.

How did Runren become so skilled?

Isn't it just a matter of gradually undermining the foundations of the other ninja villages?
"hiss"

Shinji Uzumaki smacked his lips.

He's not really an idiot.

Now I think I understand what Makoto Uchiha meant.

"Should we drag Konoha into this together?"

"Don't worry, it will happen, it will happen."

"I will definitely involve Konoha. After all, the movie is based on reality, and I will definitely portray Konoha's behavior in this war in its entirety. Of course, I will be extra careful."

Have you ever heard of "low-level red, high-level black"?

Never heard of it.

"It's good that you haven't heard of it."

Uchiha Makoto laughed, a laugh that was unusually happy.

Shinji Uzumaki sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. However, he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
