Wait until the major ninja villages had controlled their domestic situations, Kageyama Kogetsu sent people to invite the leaders of each village to Konoha for a meeting.
It was worth mentioning that Konan represented Amegakure this time.
Because Kageyama Kogetsu had issued a pardon, Konan could now walk openly in the ninja world.
Even if other ninja villages were dissatisfied, they could only hold it in!
The leaders of the major ninja villages, along with their trusted aides, arrived one after another at the excessively lively Konoha Village...
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Konoha would be the center of the world in the future, so anyone with some wealth and vision in the surrounding towns wanted to buy property in Konoha.
Therefore, the influx of people was a bit large, even with Konoha's strict screening standards.
As a result, housing prices in Konoha had skyrocketed recently, reaching an extremely outrageous level.
A small single room had risen to the price that could buy a detached villa in the past, and the price was still rising rapidly...
This made the ninja clans, ninja, and villagers in Konoha who owned property extremely rich!
Those without property didn't need to worry either. Kageyama Kogetsu had announced that every original resident of Konoha without housing would be allocated a house, which was a huge welfare benefit.
When housing prices stabilized in the future, the original residents of Konoha could sell their houses and buy property on the outskirts of Konoha, or if they went to other towns, they would instantly become wealthy.
Kageyama Kogetsu's prestige gained on the battlefield of the Fourth Great Ninja War and after unifying the ninja world was already terrifyingly high, surpassing Hashirama Senju countless times.
Now, showing such consideration for his own people, once the news spread, the original residents of Konoha directly regarded Kageyama Kogetsu as a faith, a fanatical faith.
Going through fire and water, Lord Hokage!
This situation was also normal.
It was like a head of state directly allocating an apartment-style residence within the Second Ring Road of Beijing, large enough for a family to live comfortably...
With long-lasting peace descending and Konoha set to become the center of the world, along with various overt and covert benefits falling from the sky, Konoha Village had become an ocean of joy.
The original residents cheered and smiled, making the visitors from other villages envious and jealous.
After a day of rest and play, the next morning, the leaders of each village brought their trusted aides to the large conference room in the Hokage Tower for a meeting.
Kageyama Kogetsu only arrived after everyone was present.
Fū Yamanaka and Torune Aburame pushed open the door. Kageyama Kogetsu, wearing his Hokage hat and robe, strode into the large conference room with a tiger's gait, exuding an aura of authority and unfathomable depth...
"Greetings, Lord Hokage!"
Ninja, including the leaders of each village, stood up and bowed respectfully, their voices uniform.
Today was different from the past. Although there was a gap in strength before, their status wasn't too different. Even without the title of Kage, they were still leaders of a village.
Now that the villages had surrendered, their status was naturally a notch lower than Kageyama Kogetsu's; they had all become subordinates.
Kageyama Kogetsu walked to the front of the conference room, stood before his separate table and chair, and smiled. "No need for formalities, everyone. Please sit."
"Thank you, Lord Hokage!"
Regardless of their inner thoughts, everyone was respectful, daring not to show the slightest disrespect or dissatisfaction.
Fū Yamanaka and Torune Aburame closed the door, and the meeting to decide the future of the ninja world, no, the future world structure, officially began.
"As the saying goes, he who understands the times is a wise man. You are all wise men of the ninja world, and I am glad you made the correct choice."
"In view of your contributions to world peace, I have prepared a surprise for you." Kageyama Kogetsu said with a smile.
Orochimaru was the first to play along. "What surprise?"
Kageyama Kogetsu said seriously, "This Great Ninja War is ultimately a continuation of the struggle from a thousand years ago. After my strong arguments, the Sage of Six Paths gave me some resurrection quotas."
"I calculated it. On average, each ninja village can get one or two resurrection quotas."
"The five great ninja villages, Otogakure, and Amegakure get two quotas. Other ninja villages get one quota. You can use them to resurrect people you want to resurrect."
"Let me say this first: don't be greedy. There are only so many quotas. More people would disrupt the balance of Yin and Yang, and exceed the Sage of Six Paths' authority."
"The world has loopholes to exploit, but these loopholes are not infinitely large."
Everyone was overjoyed. They didn't expect the surprise to be this...
Fortunately, they surrendered; otherwise, not only would their ninja villages be destroyed, but this benefit would also be gone.
"Hehehe... that's wonderful. I want to resurrect my former disciple, Nawaki." Orochimaru laughed, half pretending, half sincere.
"Lord Hokage, can I resurrect Yugito and my father?" The Fourth Raikage, A, asked impatiently.
"Lord Hokage, can I resurrect Rōshi and Han?"
"Lord Hokage, I want to resurrect Utakata. I haven't decided on the other one yet."
"Lord Hokage, can I resurrect my father and Elder Chiyo?"
Gaara wanted to resurrect the Third Kazekage to strengthen Sunagakure, but then thought that resurrecting Elder Chiyo would also strengthen their power and repay her kindness.
"Lord Hokage, I want to resurrect Yahiko and Nagato."
"..."
Kageyama Kogetsu nodded and smiled. "Everyone, no problem."
"Prepare the bodies and send them to Konoha. After I communicate with the Sage of Six Paths, I will resurrect them one by one."
"Thank you, Lord Hokage!" Everyone stood up and bowed in unison.
If there was a lot of resentment in many people's hearts before, it was much less now.
When the reform was completed and they enjoyed the benefits of the new order, the resentment would completely dissipate, replaced by desperate support for the new order.
He had already applied enough pressure before; it was time to show some grace.
He wasn't from the Ōtsutsuki clan, treating people like dirt and only knowing how to suppress them.
Applying both grace and pressure could reduce future troubles and solidify his rule. Why not do it?
With the world rules and the Sage of Six Paths as shields, sensible people wouldn't bother him, and there was no need to be polite to those who weren't sensible.
For Konoha's quota, Kageyama Kogetsu planned to give it to his parents in this world and his godson's father, Hizashi Hyūga.
Two quotas meant two quotas, but he could take one from Orochimaru.
It made no sense that others could enjoy the benefits of the new order while the parents of the order's master couldn't.
As for his parents in this world dictating things after resurrection, there was no need to worry; it was easy to handle.
"Hahaha... I'm very happy to see everyone so happy. No need for formalities, sit down." Kageyama Kogetsu laughed loudly.
Everyone sat down beaming with joy.
"Now let's discuss what to name the great unified country covering the world."
"Everyone can speak freely."
Hearing this, everyone spoke actively, proposing one country name after another...
However, most people included their own biases, wanting to combine their village's elements with Konoha's. Most of the names proposed were somewhat abstract.
As they talked, they started arguing, criticizing the names proposed by those they didn't get along with as worthless.
Seeing the argument intensifying, Kageyama Kogetsu coughed lightly, and the conference room quickly quieted down...
"Everyone, how about 'Kyōei' (Co-prosperity)?"
"We prosper together, share glory, and enjoy splendor together." Kageyama Kogetsu said seriously.
"Good!"
After a moment of silence in the room, everyone cheered in unison. The meaning of this country name was too good; it was indeed the best of all names!
Sigh... you should have said earlier that Konoha elements weren't needed; otherwise, the names we proposed wouldn't have been so abstract.
"Then the country name is set as Kyōei." Kageyama Kogetsu said with a beaming smile.
Hehe, the Co-prosperity Sphere has been established, but... it was established by us, the Eighth Route Army.
