Chapter 18: The Importance Of Clan's Ideology Lessons
______
"You explained that very well! You've been thinking about this for a long time, haven't you?"
Kaori listened attentively, her eyes glowing with pride as she gazed at her son.
He never ceased to amaze her!
In the past, she and other Uchiha leaders had considered how to resolve the hostility between the guards and the villagers, but they had never come up with a viable solution.
Now, after hearing Katsumi's proposal, everything seemed to click into place.
"Indeed, having elite Uchiha members handle trivial matters and personally argue with villagers is not only a loss of dignity but also thankless," Kaori said thoughtfully.
"Such responsibilities should be delegated to civilian ninjas or those from other families. Uchiha should focus on being effective referees and judges."
"Forming an elite guard is an excellent idea—it not only creates a formidable force for the clan but also serves as a deterrent to the Third Hokage. We'll proceed as you've suggested!"
She then shifted her focus, her gaze filled with anticipation. "What about clan education? What are your thoughts on that?"
Her son's ideas were a revelation to her, a reflection of both the inheritance of the sages and his own intelligence.
"Yes," Katsumi affirmed with a nod. "The clan currently lacks a proper educational structure. I suggest establishing comprehensive clan learning programs at every stage of development:
Pre-school clan classes.
After-school intensive tutoring for academy students.
Genin intensive training classes.
Chūnin advanced training classes.
Jōnin exchange and development classes."
"In the pre-school clan classes, we should include ideological education, ninja world history, Uchiha clan history, basic physical training, and kunai and shuriken throwing lessons."
His tone was resolute as he continued, "We must ensure that every member of the clan is engaged in training and education at every stage of their growth. Allowing complacency will only weaken us. How can we uphold the glory of the Uchiha if we stagnate?
"I've worked tirelessly as the young clan leader, and it's only right that the rest of the clan put in equal effort."
"I'll also review the clan's taijutsu techniques and training methods to compile a more effective and comprehensive physical training regimen. This will be used in both the pre-school classes and the after-school tutoring programs for academy students."
"In addition, the pre-school classes should include access to a medicinal bath that I've optimized based on the clan's existing formula. This will help lay a strong physical foundation for the children. A limited amount of Sea Kings' meat can also be incorporated into their diet."
He paused for a moment and added, "However, the existence of the Sea Kings' meat should remain a secret for now. To address this, I'll develop a specialized ration pill using Sea Kings' meat. Let's call it a Nutritional Pill."
"In this regard, I'll need access to the clan's knowledge and production formula for soldier ration pills."
Katsumi's expression turned serious. "The foundation of our clan must be built from early childhood. Among these programs, I place the highest importance on ideological education. I plan to write a book on moral and ideological lessons, drawing from my memories of my inheritance and adapting them to the ninja world.
"This will be used to shape the values of the clan, starting with the children. Changing the mindset of adults is more challenging, so we'll address that later when either Mom or I are strong enough to suppress any dissent within the clan. At that point, we can implement comprehensive education for everyone."
Kaori smiled, deeply impressed by his thorough plans. "No problem! That's simple enough—I'll retrieve the necessary knowledge and formulas for you later!"
Kaori naturally had no objections but then asked, "You seem to place great importance on ideological education. Why is that?"
"Why?"
Katsumi sighed helplessly, thinking of the future Uchiha Itachi and the naive Shisui. "Just consider the examples of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, and you'll understand.
"These examples show how critical it is to establish a correct outlook on life for our clan members from an early age. If we don't occupy the ideological high ground, the Third Hokage will use his twisted Will of Fire to brainwash our clan.
"Then, they'll turn our own people against us."
Kaori's expression turned solemn as she nodded. "You're right. I've neglected this aspect before, but ideological education is indeed crucial."
"It's not just about the children," Katsumi continued, shaking his head. "The ideological education of adults is equally important.
"Right now, the radical factions in our clan are heavily influenced by the stubborn, outdated thinking of the Sengoku era. These adults have been indoctrinated into being reckless and overly radical.
"They actually think rebelling against the entire village with just the power of one clan is a good idea. That's pure madness!"
Even if they somehow won, the ultimate outcome would be their downfall.
"As one of the two founding ninja clans of the village, why can't Uchiha find a way to reclaim power gradually, step by step?"
Hearing this, Kaori frowned slightly. "This is indeed a serious issue, but you need to understand that the thinking of adults is usually fixed. Changing their mindset won't be easy."
"Exactly," Katsumi replied with a nod. "I understand that, which is why I'm not planning to focus on educating the adults immediately. We'll start with the children first."
Katsumi then elaborated in detail about his plans: after-school tutoring classes for academy students, intensive training programs for Genin and Chūnin, Jōnin exchange sessions, and even a comprehensive reward-and-punishment system for meritorious contributions within the clan.
Every aspect was carefully discussed with Kaori.
After confirming all these plans, the conversation came to an end.
"One more thing!"
Just as Kaori was about to leave, Katsumi stopped her, a bit embarrassed. "Mom, can you help me run the map? At least light up the maps of Jaya Island and Loguetown in the East Blue. That way, I can teleport there whenever I need to in the future."
According to the characteristics of the space-time gate, as long as he or any bound member had been to a location, they could teleport there at any time.
But for now, he was too weak to explore these places himself. It was far too dangerous, so he had no choice but to ask his mother for help.
Still, he couldn't help feeling guilty—he'd already given her so many tasks to handle. She was practically being worked like a horse.
"Run the map? What do you mean?"
Kaori looked confused.
"Huh? Didn't I explain this before?" Katsumi asked in surprise.
Kaori shook her head helplessly.
"My bad!" Katsumi slapped his forehead and quickly explained this function of the space-time gate.
Understanding dawned on Kaori. "So that's how it works. This means we can teleport to any place we've been to before, right?"
"Does that mean I could visit the Sabaody Archipelago anytime I want? And can this function be used in reverse, from the ninja world back to those locations?"
Katsumi gave his mother a thumbs-up. "Great question! The answer is yes—it works both ways. Whether it's traveling to the Sabaody Archipelago or returning to the ninja world, this function is fully operational."
This teleportation ability was truly a game-changer.
"This is amazing!" Kaori exclaimed, clearly impressed.
Kaori nodded in agreement, her eyes lighting up. "With this ability, it will be so much more convenient, whether in the Ninja World or the Pirate World!
"In many situations, this could even serve as a lifesaving measure, just like the Flying Thunder God technique!"
She paused, a thoughtful expression crossing her face. "It might even be more versatile than the Flying Thunder God—there's no need to pre-set coordinates, no consumption, and it allows teleportation to any place you've been. It could even be used in battle!"
"Uh… well, almost," Katsumi admitted, a bit surprised by his mother's unique perspective. Still, he nodded in agreement.
"This is indeed very important," Kaori said firmly. "I'll take on the task of 'running the map'! Loguetown and Jaya Island, right? Leave it to me! I'll set aside some time each day to explore these two places."
Her tone softened as curiosity flickered in her eyes. "But, can you tell me why you chose these two places? What's special about them?"
Kaori had no doubt that her son wouldn't make such a decision without a purpose.
She waited patiently, knowing there had to be a deeper reason behind his choice.
