Chapter 1054: The Sea Ninja Village's Reforms and Missions!
Marine Calendar Year 1503.
September 15th.
Sitting in the Sea Kage Office, Tengen Uzui was reviewing an order document he had just received.
A moment later.
He suddenly looked up, smiling broadly at Fukurokuju, the former First Sea Kage and current Elder Advisor, who sat across the desk.
"Look, the World Government has decided to transfer our Sea Ninja Village from Cipher Pol to the Supreme Military Command. From now on, like the Army, Navy, and Air Force Headquarters, we will be under the jurisdiction of the Command Department!"
As he spoke, Tengen Uzui handed over the lengthy order document.
This meant that the nature of the Ninja profession would no longer be that of agent/spy, but rather soldiers of the military.
Fukurokuju nodded in agreement as he read.
"Good news. This way, our Sea Ninja Village will have autonomy. But the rank of Sea Kage... it's increased so much all at once?"
Fukurokuju's mood was somewhat complex.
The document clearly stated.
From now on, the military rank of Sea Kage would be Fleet Admiral, the same rank as the Three Forces Fleet Admirals.
Furthermore, Ninjas with the Five Kage Epithet would all hold the rank of Admiral.
However, if they lost the Kage-level Epithet, they would be demoted to Vice Admiral rank.
Below that, the Five Sea Ninja Ministers would hold the rank of Vice Admiral. If they were dismissed midway, they would be demoted to Rear Admiral rank.
But if they successfully served until retirement, they could retain the Vice Admiral military rank and enjoy all corresponding benefits and treatment.
Next, the Jonin rank would be divided into Elite Jonin and Jonin. The former would hold Rear Admiral rank, while the latter would hold Rear Admiral or Brigadier General rank.
Chunin would also be divided into Elite Chunin and Chunin. The former would hold Senior Colonel or Colonel rank, while the latter would hold Lieutenant Colonel or Major rank.
Genin would likewise be divided into Elite Genin and Genin. The former would hold Captain rank, while the latter would hold First Lieutenant or Second Lieutenant rank.
In other words, from now on, the Sea Ninja Village would be entirely composed of officer level personnel.
However, this also meant that only Ninjas who reached the combat power of a so-called Second Lieutenant could serve as the lowest-level Genin in the Sea Ninja Village.
This requirement was quite high.
Even the Genin in the Five Great Ninja Villages in the Ninja World before this, eighty percent of them couldn't meet this condition.
So what about the Ninjas who couldn't meet the conditions?
It was simple. Those under eighteen years old would have the opportunity to enter various Ninja Schools.
Those over eighteen years old could either wander around on their own or join the Shinobi Sect established by Otsutsuki Hamura.
In any case, the Sea Ninja Village only wanted elites!
Both Tengen Uzui and Fukurokuju realized that this order would mean the number of ninjas in the Sea Ninja Village wouldn't increase much in the coming years.
However, after thinking it over, they found there wasn't much of a problem.
Although the number of people was smaller, the quality was definitely guaranteed.
A Chunin in the Ninja World is a Genin in the Sea Ninja Village. A Jonin in the Ninja World is a Chunin in the Sea Ninja Village.
An Elite Jonin in the Ninja World is a Jonin in the Sea Ninja Village. A Kage-level Ninja in the Ninja World is an Elite Jonin in the Sea Ninja Village.
And a Kage-level Ninja in the Sea Ninja Village is at the level of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju!
Moreover, as the Ninja Education System in the Ninja World gradually improved.
Every year in the future, there would be graduates with good qualities joining.
Looking further at the Scope of Responsibilities set for the Sea Ninja Village by the World Government in this order document.
From now on, these Ninjas would be responsible for Special Missions such as detection and raid/sabotage of unconquered Otherworlds.
Cipher Pol, on the other hand, would be responsible for Secret Missions such as assassination and surveillance in already conquered Worlds.
One for external affairs, one for internal affairs, clear and distinct!
"Hmm?"
As Fukurokuju continued reading, his expression became increasingly surprised.
"That's right, the higher-ups also issued a combat mission to us simultaneously. I'll trouble you to inform all personnel above Jonin to come to the meeting room for a meeting," Tengen Uzui said politely with a smile.
Fukurokuju asked, "Should those two also be informed?"
"Hmm, you can inform them, but it's not a requirement for them to come."
Tengen Uzui pondered for a moment before giving his answer.
"Okay, understood."
Fukurokuju immediately stood up and left the office.
Meanwhile, Tengen Uzui gently picked up another piece of paper beside him.
This was a piece of intelligence.
It mentioned that 'Forest Kage' Hashirama Senju had exchanged blows with 'Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox' Hong Lian from the Imperial Arms World near Nine-Tails Island.
Subsequently, 'Hokage' Madara Uchiha rushed to the scene and summoned a giant rock, which fell from the sky towards Hong Lian.
Then, 'Divine Dragon' Shen He, also from the Imperial Arms World, appeared in the sky and unleashed thousands of golden lightning bolts, smashing the giant rock before it could land.
Finally, after a three-hour battle, both sides dispersed.
But Hong Lian remained on Nine-Tails Island, living with the Nine-Tails from the Ninja World.
Because the battle was observed from a great distance, the content of the intelligence was not very detailed.
It didn't even specify which side won, which side lost, or which side had the upper hand.
But one thing was certain.
Neither Hashirama Senju nor Madara Uchiha seemed to have suffered any injuries.
"Hahahaha, truly worthy of being the Twin Gods of the Ninja World, to be able to contend with two Super Dangerous Beasts!"
Tengen Uzui put away the intelligence and stood up, feeling very pleased.
It was time for him to move as well.
Soon.
In a large meeting room, approximately five hundred square meters in size.
Ninjas who had been granted Jonin qualification gathered together.
Aside from the few from the Former Oniwabanshū, most of the faces were from the Ninja World.
The Two Kage and Five Ministers, needless to say.
Others included Masato Hyuga, Minato Namikaze, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Inuzuka Kurotsuchi, Choza Akimichi, Fuguki Suikazan, Raiga Kurosuki, Pakura, Daichi Terumi, Ruri Kohaku, and so on.
Although the total number of people present didn't exceed thirty.
Every single one was either a top expert from a Major Ninja Village or a Ninja Clan Head, making the lineup truly luxurious.
As for Hanzo from Amegakure, he had been transferred to Impel Down.
They were currently flipping through the printed documents in their hands with serious expressions.
Sitting at the head of the table, Tengen Uzui wore a black and white Sea Kage Hat with a 'Five-Circle Cross' symbol printed on the front, smiling as he scanned every person present.
These were all the Ninjas under his command!
"Has everyone finished reading?"
A moment later, when the last person placed the document back on the table, Tengen Uzui took the opportunity to speak:
"The mission given to us by the Command Department isn't complicated."
"It is to dispatch multiple squads in advance to secretly infiltrate World Number No.0007, temporarily code-named 'Nuclear Weapon', to secretly investigate key military, industrial, and political units in various nations, monitor important military and government personnel in various nations, protect important industrial facilities and personnel in various nations, and execute destruction or assassination missions when necessary."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room, looking calmly at everyone.
"This is the first mission after the Sea Ninja Village's reforms, and also everyone's first mission joining the World Government. We must take it seriously and complete it successfully."
Minato Namikaze, Fuguki Suikazan, and others present all nodded in agreement.
"Overall, this mission is primarily focused on infiltration, stealth, and intelligence gathering, so the ninjas dispatched need to be skilled in stealth and intelligence gathering."
"Also, the first thing we need to face is the Military Base on the other side of 'The Gate'. Everyone needs to quickly understand and familiarize themselves with the performance of 'Modern Firearms/Weapons' and their combat methods."
"In a few days, the Army Headquarters will send over a few military experts in this area..."
