Chapter 275 - Chapter 276: National Policy

"First, I would like to invite Senior Orochimaru to introduce the two new technologies he has invented."

"Everyone, please give him a round of applause." Kageyama Kogetsu said with a beaming smile.

Although everyone didn't understand what Kageyama Kogetsu and Orochimaru were up to, it didn't stop them from applauding enthusiastically.

Orochimaru stood up with a smile, bowed to Kageyama Kogetsu, then slightly bowed to the leaders of each village, and finally sat down to speak eloquently.

"The first technology I invented is the No. 1 Chakra Extraction Technique."

Everyone: "???"

Who didn't know the Chakra Extraction Technique? They had already engraved the Chakra Extraction Technique into their souls and could extract it at will.

"I know everyone has doubts. The No. 1 Extraction Technique is not prepared for ninja, but for ordinary people."

"In other words, the No. 1 Extraction Technique can allow ordinary people who were originally unable to extract chakra to successfully extract chakra."

"Wow..."

Everyone was stunned, then in an uproar, unable to help but discuss it.

This was truly a groundbreaking feat. To allow ordinary people to extract chakra was simply incredible!

"Silence. Let Senior Orochimaru continue."

The conference room immediately quieted down.

"Don't be too surprised. Ordinary people also have physical energy and spiritual energy, and theoretically can extract chakra."

"They fail only because of too many distracting thoughts and lack of channels to obtain methods for extracting chakra."

"Although the efficiency of the No. 1 Chakra Extraction Technique is not yet high and requires medicinal assistance, the experiment has been successful."

"For a long time after the establishment of the new country, the medicine will be distributed free of charge regardless of cost, striving to enable everyone to extract chakra as soon as possible."

"The second technology I invented is the Chakra Currency Manufacturing Technique."

"A new country brings a new atmosphere, and naturally, there must be a new currency. This technology can preserve chakra for a long time in specially made metal materials."

"Currently, there are three types of coins: copper, silver, and gold, which can store the chakra amount of an ordinary Genin, Chūnin, and Jōnin, respectively."

"Although they are called gold, silver, and copper coins, their components are not actually gold, silver, and brass, but other materials."

"These three types of coins will not be distributed for free; a certain percentage of the cost will be charged."

"Future research directions include increasing storage capacity and researching lighter storage materials."

Hearing this, everyone had many thoughts in their minds...

Kageyama Kogetsu said with a smile, "These two technologies were developed according to my will and will benefit all mankind in the future."

"I think the Minister of Scientific Research after the establishment of the new country should be none other than Senior Orochimaru."

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Regardless of the intention, being able to develop these two technologies was indeed remarkable, but...

"Ahem, Lord Hokage, the current currency won't be invalid, right?" The Fourth Raikage A coughed and asked with a solemn expression.

"Of course not. That would be too ugly and would cause chaos in the world."

"Current currency will continue to be used until the chakra cultivation system becomes popular and the currency stock can meet the needs of the whole world, which will take a long time."

"My preliminary plan is that one copper coin exchanges for ten thousand ryo of current currency. The specific ratio will be modified according to the actual situation later."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Kageyama Kogetsu would act recklessly relying on his invincible strength...

Kageyama Kogetsu was actually crossing the river by feeling the stones. Although his economic knowledge was much better than the leaders of the ninja villages, it was actually lacking.

The Chakra Extraction Technique would make everyone in the world able to extract chakra, then harvest it through monetary and tax policies, and finally extract the chakra from the currency to feed the little Ten-Tails.

For example, offering discounts for paying taxes with chakra currency, adjusting the exchange rate between chakra currency and ordinary currency, publishing the method of making chakra currency, etc.

Inflation, deflation, and so on were not important to Kageyama Kogetsu. What was important was the continuous harvesting of chakra!

As long as humans weren't extinct, they were a renewable resource that could continuously provide chakra...

As long as he wasn't overly greedy, ordinary people making chakra currency themselves wouldn't lose much lifespan.

If the new country was governed well, the lifespan of ordinary people would increase.

Currently, the lifespan of ordinary people was not high, especially farmers who relied on the land for survival—no, tenants—no, serfs.

As long as it wasn't too excessive, the increased lifespan could completely cover the lost lifespan. There was profit to be made, and with the right measure, a lot of profit.

In this way, combined with other policies, the population expansion rate could be controlled silently.

In a peaceful and prosperous age with limited resources, control was necessary.

Besides ordinary people, ninja nowadays also had to find ways to make them voluntarily hand over chakra, for example, by adopting a form similar to blood donation.

For another example, only accepting chakra currency on birthdays, heavily rewarding a shill who personally made chakra currency to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm.

Finally, for example, official salaries and noble stipends would not be paid in chakra currency, but in normal currency.

By the way, besides humans, all creatures in the ninja world possessing chakra had to pay taxes, and the three great holy lands were no exception.

At most, for the sake of their good relationship, the tax would be set lower so they wouldn't feel the pressure.

"Lord Hokage, will ninjutsu also be taught to ordinary people?" Ōnoki asked with a smile.

"No. Giving ninjutsu easily leads to fights. Unless ordinary people enter the national armed forces through various forms, the private spread of ninjutsu is strictly prohibited."

"The collections of major ninja clans are not included in this list, but they cannot be passed on to ordinary people at will, only to family members."

"Even if ordinary people enter major ninja clans to work, they cannot be taught. It can only be taught in the name of the state."

"Violators will be severely punished without fail!" Kageyama Kogetsu said seriously.

Everyone completely understood Kageyama Kogetsu's plan.

This was harvesting chakra for his own use.

It was just much gentler and smarter than Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Anyway, they could accept this method, and presumably, other ninja could also accept it.

Compared to precarious wars, what was losing some chakra?

Everyone expressed their support.

The meeting continued, and everyone continued to discuss the various systems of the new country.

Although it could be a one-man show, there was no need. Reasonable suggestions could be listened to, giving people a sense of participation and gradually creating a sense of belonging.

Everyone had surrendered, not been forced to surrender after being beaten. Basic respect should still be given; they were all his employees, after all.

The meeting ended temporarily near noon, and Kageyama Kogetsu invited everyone to lunch.

After lunch and a rest, the meeting continued at two in the afternoon.

The meeting lasted for three days, roughly establishing the framework of the new country. The rest would be modified while being implemented.

During this period, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's murmurs occasionally sounded in Kageyama Kogetsu's ears...

This level of bewitchment naturally had no effect on Kageyama Kogetsu.

As long as the marks related to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki in the Ten-Tails were completely erased, the murmurs would disappear.

However, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's commotion reminded the busy Kageyama Kogetsu to deal with the hidden danger as soon as possible.

On this day, Kageyama Kogetsu arranged all matters and was temporarily free, so he released Black and White Zetsu from Daikokuten.

In the Hokage's office, after Black and White Zetsu regained consciousness, the first thing they saw was Kageyama Kogetsu sitting casually in his office chair.

Black and White Zetsu didn't run away because it was impossible. They lowered their heads and remained silent, disheartened and giving up...
