From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

No one in this world is omniscient.

Even with his foresight, Kevin couldn't have known about the Ten-Tails' anomaly beforehand.

From the moment he appeared in this world, the butterfly effect, a storm that originated in the Rain Region, spread throughout the entire world.

The Akatsuki organization disappeared due to the changes in Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan.

Hidan from the Land of Hot Water, Kakuzu from Takigakure, and Deidara from Iwagakure—one sacrifices his life, one digs out people's hearts, and the other specializes in massive explosions.

These three were extinguished before they could even make a ripple in the revolutionary army's wave of liberation.

Because of the Uchiha clan, Itachi became the Fourth Hokage's right-hand man and a valuable assistant to Shisui, the captain of the Anbu.

Before Kisame betrayed the regime, he and Mei Terumi became part of the new generation under the new ideology because of Kevin's appearance. Among them was Juzo Biwa, who was later found by Mei Terumi.

The Akatsuki organization no longer exists, and the five great ninja villages have also undergone tremendous changes in recent years.

Its domineering presence has stirred up a wave powerful enough to overturn the old era.

With the fall of the Daimyo's prefecture, wars between people ceased, and the five great ninja villages held the Five Kage Summit and participated in an expanded meeting.

Policies are being implemented, and problems are being addressed.

Technological advancements have led to increased productivity. With the removal of the obstacles posed by nobles, this world, imbued with supernatural energy, has witnessed tremendous technological innovations.

Resources are gradually becoming more abundant, and people can already see the dawn approaching.

But the flapping of a butterfly's wings does more than just that...

The Ōtsutsuki clan's surveillance has always been present, as has the Ten-Tails, a bomb capable of destroying the entire world.

Kevin's existence made it impossible for Kaguya Otsutsuki to be unsealed, and the two important pawns, Obito and Nagato, were changed, thus allowing Black Zetsu to set his sights on a new pawn.

The new pieces prompted Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to make his move.

With such a perfect fit, it was impossible for Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had been hiding for thousands of years after being tricked, to refuse.

The development of technology has also spurred the research team behind Isshiki Otsutsuki, and many fragments of the Otsutsuki god's genes have been developed.

At this moment, White Zetsu finally came into contact with a living Ten-Tails, a Ten-Tails that had not been sacrificed.

The changes in the world are also driving changes in the Ten-Tails.

Thus, the source of the disaster was born.

……

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

Kevin exhaled and said, "Because each town has a security force, they have the power to fight back against the attacks of these Ten-Tails split entities."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiu asked in confusion, "Judging from the report from the Shuhuo Town garrison, the garrison alone is not enough..."

Before he could finish speaking, Minato Namikaze interrupted him.

"The root cause lies in Konoha. Shuhuo Town is close to Konoha, so the number of Ten-Tails clones that you mentioned is much greater than in other towns."

Minato then looked at Kevin and said, "There's just one thing I don't understand. The Nine-Tails and the Three-Tails both came with me to the expanded meeting. In this situation, those androids and the cloned Danzo were seen as threats, but those monsters... seem to only know how to kill."

After a moment's thought, Kevin replied, "You're right. The Ten-Tails' split form exists solely for killing. Because of its lack of self-awareness, it needs to kill to evolve from chaos into thought and intelligence... because it needs to find the meaning of its existence."

What is the meaning of existence?

In the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze and the others all looked at Kevin.

Regarding the past of this world, the legends from thousands of years ago, the Ninja Clan, the Otsutsuki, the Ten-Tails, and the Goddess of the Rabbit, these are all pieces of information that I only learned after you told me.

The secrets of this world have been revealed, exposing the existence of all enemies. Among them... is even God.

"The Ten-Tails, capable of converting the energy of the entire world into chakra, initially had no meaning of its own existence. Violence and chaos were all that it was."

Kevin paused, then looked at the group: "The fact that it can convert all kinds of energy in the world into chakra proves the diversity of the Ten-Tails. As for the smaller Ten-Tails that split off, they need to be replaced by human thoughts in order to find their own meaning of existence."

"And when faced with an overwhelming horde of monsters, the deepest bond in people's minds will ultimately be their target, the target they want to kill."

"The town of Shuhuo was attacked, and at the cost of so many lives, a pair of Rinnegan were evolved. They were transformed from life energy, Haki, flesh and blood, and so on."

As soon as the words were spoken, a rough outline of information about the Ten-Tails' split forms was formed in the minds of the group.

The clearer the intelligence became, the more shocked everyone became.

The Ten-Tails, acting as a conduit, has developed its own thoughts, making it even more difficult to deal with than the Otsutsuki clan.

If a massive number of Ten-Tails clones were to emerge, how many people would die? And how many Rinnegan would be evolved?

At this moment, Minato Namikaze asked, "The power of the Rinnegan shouldn't be limited to just repulsive and attractive forces, right?"

Kevin nodded slightly: "Yes. If it's just gravity and repulsion, but the intervals between activations are limited, it's not that difficult to deal with, and therefore it doesn't reach the so-called leap to a higher level of life."

"The size of a town, coupled with the fact that it didn't take long to evolve before it attacked Konoha, means that... the abilities awakened after the Rinnegan was opened have not yet been truly acquired."

Kevin then looked at Shikaku, who seemed to want to ask something, and said, "Don't ask me what my ability is. Just like the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, when people awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, the abilities they gain are different because of their different emotions and obsessions."

"Madara Uchiha once awakened the Rinnegan, and his ability was called Limbo: Border Jail - Unobservable Clones."

Unobservable?

For a moment, everyone in the office was stunned.

The inability to observe is not just because it cannot be seen, but because it is a clone that cannot be detected by hearing, smelling, or seeing.

Minato: "Sir, where's your Observation Haki?"

Kevin replied, "Yes, while Observation Haki also originates from hearing, Haki restrains chakra, so it can naturally be used for perception. However, so far, most of the Revolutionary Army's security forces have awakened Armament Haki, and very few have awakened Observation Haki."

In an instant, everyone realized the importance of domineering presence.

Without Haki, they have no chance of winning against enemies like the Otsutsuki or the Ten-Tails' split forms, relying solely on chakra.

Even the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique, no matter how fast it was, was useless.

Only domineering power can rise above everything else.

Shikaku let out a breath, feeling somewhat emotional.

If it weren't for the Fourth Hokage's insistence on offering philosophy classes under the guidance of his teacher several years ago, Konoha probably wouldn't have been able to weather these two crises so smoothly.

As the person in charge of a series of affairs in the village, Nara Shikaku naturally knew how the Fourth Hokage had managed to easily capture the three androids who had attacked.

Thinking of this, Shikaku said, "The Hokage brought back three clones of the enemy before. Perhaps we can obtain the genetic fragments of divine arts from their bodies."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui, the captain of the direct ANBU unit, frowned.

On the Jonin team's side, Hyuga Hizashi, Kakashi, and Uchiha Obito, who had just returned together, all had slightly changed expressions.

Before the others could speak, Jiraiya, who had been sitting loosely, sat up straight and looked at Nara Shikaku.

"Extract a fragment of the Otsutsuki god's genes, and then what? Open up a voluntary testing program? Transplant the fragment, select test subjects whose genes are compatible, and thus obtain that power?"

"Finding a test subject that matches the gene fragment requires trial and error, and how many failures are involved? How many people will die from those failures?"

"Power and life are full of endless temptations, and if these temptations become irresistible, then those who hold power, entrusted by the people, will fall into the abyss of desire."

"Shikaku... In that case, a new noble family will be born. Dawn will pass, and darkness will once again shroud the entire world."

Shikaku was stunned.

Yes, he hadn't thought that far ahead.

However, it must be admitted that the future that Jiraiya spoke of is very likely to happen.

Technological advancements lead to increased productivity, thereby solidifying the foundation of peace.

However, technological advancements could also plunge the world into an abyss in a single step.

"I see."

Shikaku let out a breath.

Tsunade then bowed slightly to Kevin: "Sir, what should we do next? Peace has just arrived, but the enemy is growing stronger."

Kevin shook his head slightly and said, "I am not a god. What I see is merely one way the world is developing. As far as I know, there is a kind of ability to foresee the future in divine arts."

"Based on the current point in time, we can predict all the possible futures resulting from tens of thousands of changes. Then, the person with this ability will choose the direction that is most advantageous to them to drive the present forward."

"The androids we've seen so far, and the power displayed by Isshiki Otsutsuki, don't seem to have captured this divine technique. But in the future..."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's heart sank.

Seeing tens of thousands of possible futures and then making a choice from them—such an ability is something that only a god could possess, and certainly not something a human could do.

The Hokage's office remained silent for a long time.

Minato Namikaze frowned, pondering the information he had just received.

After a long while, Minato spoke up: "If none of the tens of thousands of futures are favorable to the user, then this ability becomes useless."

"Whether it's cloned androids, or those split Ten-Tails and white monsters, the essence of their power is chakra."

Yes, they are all essentially chakra.

However, anything that is chakra will be restrained by Haki.

Observation Haki for perception, Armament Haki for attack and defense, and finally, Conqueror's Haki, which seems to have no upper limit.

Just like when Konoha was attacked by the Ten-Tails' split bodies, such a huge number of them, but when Minato Namikaze, who possessed Conqueror's Haki, arrived, his Haki even surpassed that of Guy.

However, after a short while, the monsters chose to retreat.

And then there were the gentlemen who, after the enemy launched their attack, swept through town after town, eliminating these monsters even more quickly.

Once again, a sentence about power from my philosophy class was imprinted in my mind.

Only with domineering power can one rise above everything else.

……

The decision to postpone the expanded meeting was ultimately made.

The expanded meeting, originally scheduled for the following day, was postponed for three days because the General Administration of Government needed to assess the losses in various towns.

Despite the fact that aside from the four tailed beasts that were kidnapped, the other five had already been handed over to Kevin for care.

Three days later, at Classroom No. 1.

In the past, when the Rain Region was still known as the Rain Country, it was just a remote corner of a small town, but now it has become the center of the town.

Inside Classroom No. 1, there is a huge conference room that can accommodate hundreds of people.

However, the first expanded meeting obviously did not have that many participants.

The agenda for the meeting has been prepared, and the first topic to be addressed at the beginning of the meeting is transportation between different regions.

Orochimaru, the representative of the General Research Institute, gave a clear timeline: six months later, the laying of railway tracks would begin, centered on the Rain Region, and trial runs of trams would commence in sections.

Subsequently, the merchant representative inquired whether the freight trams operated concurrently with passenger traffic.

Orochimaru also explicitly replied on this point: nighttime is the time for freight trams. At the same time, a Transportation Division will be established within the General Political Department to oversee the safety of railway tracks and trams.

Ninjas with both lightning and earth chakra can choose this profession for training and employment.

The second topic: Representatives from the Wind Region raised the question of whether the process of greening the desert could be accelerated, and whether the solar energy collection, wind power generation, and water-fire extraction technologies previously announced by the General Research Institute were complete.

Meanwhile, regarding the extraction of energy sources such as water and fire, could the General Administration of Government clarify the energy revenue and how much of the Wind Region can be retained for local development?

……

The third issue: The representative of the Water Region Government Office proposed whether it is possible to start construction on the sea railway from the Fire Region to the Water Region first.

Orochimaru from the General Research Institute replied: "The technology for building railways on the sea has not yet been mastered. If we were to forcibly plan it, we would need a large number of ninjas proficient in Earth Release, and safety and stability could not be guaranteed."

This answer clearly failed to satisfy the representatives of the Water Region.

After gesturing to Mei Terumi with their eyes, the two, who had already discussed it, understood each other perfectly.

Terumi Mei then proposed that the current economic source of the Water Region is mainly the sale of seafood, but the ocean has abundant resources. She suggested granting mining rights, with the General Political Office responsible for supervision, but the value of the resources obtained from mining should be used by the Water Region for development.

The proposal was ultimately adopted.

In a secluded corner, Kevin listened to this expanded meeting.

Although it was like a makeshift operation with many flaws and potential future problems, Kevin remained silent.

The world's development requires going through growing pains.

Systems are never static; as long as the fundamental principle of putting people first remains unchanged, it is a normal period of trial and error.
