Chương 234: Chapter 232: Disbanding the Clans

Of course, Naruto did not care about slavery and human suffering, he only put pressure on those around him with righteous speeches. Although, it is worth emphasizing that he did not really care, in the end, people can be exploited in a more profitable way. Ideology is a terrible force, especially for fanatical peasants faced with a free and almost completely devoid of religion. Everything is simple, only convention is free, the truth is that a free person is inspiring in a centralized state. Manipulating the crowd is much easier than sitting at the Kage post. What is better, to work for your own state and proudly realize that your work has become a part of the great Empire and helped it rise, or ruin your last strength on the riches of someone nobleman, who in the end will also drive your children into debt? The answer is obvious! The countries of this world are ideal for reformation and subsequent conquest!

Of course, Naruto kept those thoughts to himself, subtly changing motives ...

"Kakashi-sensei, I think it is already clear to you that our current situation will not bring anything good to the future generation, as long as we continue the failed policy of our ancestors. It is foolish to believe that peace will last forever, which is why we continue to build up military power and technology.

Naruto did not criticize militarism, he was not at all sure that these people knew the meaning of this word. Although he himself doubted how he knew so much ... In any case, such a form of government was only in his hands. In the end, Totalitarian Power is the only thing that really works in this world due to differences in power. In addition, it is worth thinking from the position of the strongest. Naruto had the power to subdue everyone, and he was going to take advantage of it!

He added grimly:

- So, to summarize ... You and I are huge exploiters of the Land of Fire, since ordinary people do not work to ensure the development of their country, but only you and me and the rich nobles! The more intelligent now understand the reason for the formation of gangs, groups like Akatsuki or even simple renegades. The natural result of harshness and indifference ... For years we deal with them with the help of force, we send our people to the slaughter. Nothing has changed, the power is too shaky, and the so-called Great Countries are just fiction! Someone always wants to fill the empty space, this is the reality ... If we do not carry out the reformation, this will continue indefinitely. Why is that? Of course because of our strength! We are strong enough to hold on to power, but not decisive enough to make it whole. Until we develop determination, our legacy will slowly fade away!

Summing it up, Naruto finally exhaled. The conversation dragged on painfully, but he gave enough information for thought. All those present were in deep thought, especially those who knew at least a little about politics and the previous Hokage.

The silence dragged on, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and someone just kept silent and thought. Some did not even understand what their Hokage was talking about.

Finally, a faint, hoarse voice came from the end of the table. Homura was the first to ask:

- And what do you suggest, Mister Seventh?

"Good question," Naruto expected this and calmly explained, "First of all, we need to change Konoha's internal politics." We no longer need to be divided into groups and clans, we must become a single nation developing in a common direction. All private enterprises must become one with the state. Simply put, Konoha must unite like never before. And only after that, we will begin to change the entire Country, reform the old order and extend our idea to the entire people of the Land of Fire. A very simple advantage follows from this. We no longer need to exploit the country, because we will become it and will strive for common development with millions of other people. Also, the chakra and its turnover will be completely under our control. Formation of renegades will be kept to a minimum, not to mention dangerous factions like Akatsuki.

All the leaders of the clans listened with disbelief to the words of their leader. Tsume broke down at the first and asked in a harsh tone:

- How is it to disband the clans ?! Do you want to deprive families of their legacy ?!

Naruto naturally understood her claims. In the end, the clan groups had tremendous advantages and, although they were part of Konoha's power, they were more like groups of military, subordinate to their commander-in-chief Hokage. Such clans, with a military leader. For them, this structure was very beneficial. We can say that clans are families with a special status, sometimes even equal to the nobility, of course, they received special treatment and advantages in Konoha. One has only to remember the arrogant and proud attitude of the Uchiha or Hyuuga towards the clanless or shinobi from ordinary clans. This is a pure power hierarchy, it has advantages, but there are more disadvantages, rebellion and disobedience in the example of the Uchiha is a great example, even though they were forced to do it. Naruto didn't need that, especially not in the world he wanted to create for his domination. In addition, getting rid of the clan system will resolve a lot of issues and dividing people into even larger classes. Although, one of the main reasons was hidden in his system. He wanted to know how it would work if there were simply no clans? Although, for sure there will be some kind of snag.

In any case, he answered Tsume with the same sternness:

- The clan system is not needed due to its uselessness. Why does Konoha need twenty clans with their own rules and regulations, when everyone must obey the same law? Let me explain it more clearly - the chakra will become an advantage only for the military, and not for every oncoming or unbalanced jerk. Ninjutsu training and everything that comes from this will be strictly controlled by the formed state, or rather by the special structures that we need to create. The use of any prohibited Jutsu in the wrong place will also be severely punished. These are not childish games. Shinobi are soldiers and only the most worthy will have the right to master Jutsu, but not for the sake of missions and murders, but for the sake of serving their state and the future of their people. The shinobi caste itself will disappear, each current owner of the chakra will become part of the country's military grouping, regardless of his wishes.

He also had thoughts on the Ninshuu religious movement, but he kept silent about this for now.
