Chapter 350 I object!
Hinata Kumokawa's ambitions are far greater than they appear.
Even Tobirama Senju, who established ninja schools with strong measures and opened up avenues for advancement for ordinary people, only "persuaded" various ninja clans to contribute some of their ninjutsu.
It is not yet fully open to everyone, but rather opened to a limited extent through the exchange of contribution points, allowing the ninja clan to maintain its monopoly.
Hyuga Kumokawa's actions were tantamount to uprooting the very foundation upon which most ninja clans had built their lives.
Once all ninjutsu is made available to students, the "knowledge barrier" that the ninja clan relies on to maintain its advantage will be completely destroyed.
For clans like the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly, secret techniques require special physiques and inheritance, and even if the cultivation methods are made public, outsiders would find it difficult to master them, which is perhaps better.
However, clans like the Shimura and Sarutobi clans, which lack unique secret techniques and rely mainly on mastering more conventional ninjutsu to maintain their status, will undoubtedly face a huge impact!
However, it is conceivable that once this system is successfully implemented, Hyuga Kumokawa will become the object of fanatical worship for all ordinary ninjas, who would wish to enshrine him as a god.
At that time, what would the so-called "Ninjutsu Professor" Hiruzen Sarutobi be compared to Hyuga Kumokawa?
Hiruzen Sarutobi simply had a lot of ninjutsu, while Kumokawa Hyuga directly taught all of his ninjutsu to everyone.
Isn't it obvious who the so-called "professors" are?
And this was also Hinata Kumokawa's goal.
As for doing this, what does it matter to him whether the ninja clans die or Konoha is in chaos?
He only needs enough spiritual energy to repair the Hogyoku.
"If there are no other issues," Hinata Kumokawa said firmly, "then, let's begin the vote on the reform plan for the 'Ninja Academy'."
The words had barely left his mouth when the Jonin representing the Sarutobi clan, almost as if he'd been set ablaze, was the first to jump to his feet, his voice trembling with rage: "On behalf of the Sarutobi clan, I object!"
"This proposal undermines the village's foundation; it must not be allowed!"
Immediately afterwards, the head of the Inuzuka clan and the representative of the Aburame clan also solemnly declared: "The Inuzuka clan objects!"
"The Aburame clan, we object!"
Seeing this, other smaller clans also expressed their opinions, leading them to subconsciously believe that this would trigger a chain reaction and create a powerful resistance.
However, after they made their statements, the conference room fell into a suffocating silence.
The anticipated uproar and collective attack did not materialize.
The faces of the representatives of the Sarutobi, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans were immediately filled with astonishment and confusion.
Just then, a hoarse, deep voice came from the corner.
"The Shimura family agrees."
What?!
Everyone, including the three opponents, turned their heads sharply in disbelief.
The speaker was none other than Shimura Danzo, who had been dismissed from his post and was representing the Shimura clan.
He was still using a cane, half his face hidden in shadow, his expression calm and indifferent.
"Haha, how could I miss out on something this interesting?" Jiraiya laughed heartily, raising his hand without hesitation, "Agreed!"
Tsunade, arms crossed, simply uttered two words: "Agreed."
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado both looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been silent all along.
Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes, his face filled with struggle and exhaustion. Finally, he sighed deeply, as if he had aged several years in an instant, and whispered, "Agreed."
"Lord Hiruzen?! You…" The representative of the Sarutobi clan stared wide-eyed in shock, almost unable to believe his ears.
Are you kidding me?
To agree to such a self-destructive proposal is tantamount to betraying one's own family!
And this is actually what Hyuga Kumokawa wants. He knows that Sarutobi Hiruzen will abandon his personal interests and make the right choice at this time.
The representatives of Aburame and Inuzuka suddenly turned their attention to the three clans of Ino-Shika-Cho, who had remained silent until now, especially Nara Shikaku, who could represent the opinions of the three clans.
Under their watchful eyes, Nara Shikaku calmly stated, "The Nara clan agrees."
Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi, who were standing next to him, changed their expressions slightly, unable to understand why Nara Shikaku would agree to this proposal.
If it were any other suggestion, they would certainly have chosen to believe Nara Shikaku without hesitation, but...
They truly see no benefit in this proposal; in fact, it's digging up their very foundation.
Therefore, Yamanaka Inoichi closed his eyes and silently used the "Ninja Art: Mind-Communicating Technique".
"Shikaku," he silently asked himself, "What's going on? Why did he agree?"
"The Fifth Hokage's plan may not be without its benefits for our ninja clans." Nara Shikaku's calm voice echoed in his mind.
"Under the old system, our children were also bound by that rigid teaching model, and many unique talents could not be best developed."
"The new system emphasizes 'teaching according to aptitude,' which is also an opportunity for our family members with special talents."
"More importantly..." Shikaku said with a hint of helplessness, "You can't fight city hall. The Fifth Hokage himself is the head of the Hyuga clan, and he's leading by example."
"Instead of passively clinging to ninjutsu that may eventually be eliminated by the times, it's better to actively integrate into this transformation."
"We can select some family ninjutsu that are suitable for popularization and contribute them as 'advanced courses' or 'specialized research directions' for specific academies after screening."
"In this way, we can not only gain control of the discourse in the relevant fields, but also attract outstanding talents to work for the family, which is also a benefit to us."
It must be admitted that Nara Shikaku is really smart; he realized the true nature of the "academic clique" so quickly.
Since the trend is irreversible and we cannot win, we should take the initiative to join in, turn crisis into opportunity, and reposition ourselves in the new power structure.
Then, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inui exchanged a glance and followed suit, expressing their agreement.
For a moment, the representatives of the Sarutobi, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans were completely frozen in place.
The scene before me felt incredibly surreal, and I even began to wonder if I was under some kind of profound illusion.
Danzo's agreement is one thing, but he completely treats his Shimura clan as disposable material; he'll do anything that benefits Konoha.
They had no doubt that if sacrificing the Shimura clan could save several Jonin from Konoha, Danzo would certainly choose to sacrifice the Shimura clan without hesitation.
but……
Lord Hiruzen?
The three races of pig, deer, and butterfly?
When did you all become so "selfless"?
Has this world gone mad?!
No matter how much they doubt the world, the ratio of support to opposition remains overwhelming.
"With an absolute majority of votes in favor, the motion passed."
Hyuga Kumokawa took in all of this and calmly announced, "Starting today, the 'Ninja Academy' reform plan will be launched."
A revolution that would completely change the future of Konoha has thus come to an end.
The few opponents present could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded, powerless to change anything.
"Next topic."
Hinata Kumokawa flipped through the file in front of him, his tone as usual: "Regarding the joint exploration of the underground palace of the Land of Hot Springs with the four great nations."
"We need to send our elite troops. I propose that the experienced advisor, Hiruzen, lead the team..."
"I object!"
