Naruto: I'm a Teacher, But the System Thinks I'm Naruto's Classmate!

Chapter 447: Supreme One, Kitazawa

Saturday, nine o'clock in the morning.

Kitazawa pushed open the door and walked into the meeting room of the Hokage Building. The meeting room immediately fell silent.

Kitazawa was not surprised.

The Jonin Meeting of Konoha Village was scheduled for tomorrow, and today's meeting was the Five Kage Summit.

The Fourth Raikage, Ōnoki, Mei Terumī, and Rasa—the four Kage—sat in the meeting room with different expressions.

Behind them stood Mabui, Kitsuchi, Ao, and Baki, their faces also filled with complicated emotions.

They all clearly understood that today's Five Kage Summit would determine the future of their Ninja villages.

"I never expected the Second Five Kage Summit to be held in Konoha Village again," Kitazawa said with a slight smile.

Previously, the Hidden Cloud Village had convened a Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron, but he did not attend.

Therefore, it could not truly be considered a Five Kage Summit—at most, it was only a Four Kage Summit.

The first Five Kage Summit had been held when the Five Great Villages were first established, mainly for Senju Hashirama to distribute the Tailed Beasts.

But at this Five Kage Summit, the Fourth Raikage and the others clearly understood that there would be no discussion of distributing Tailed Beasts.

If Kitazawa had truly intended to distribute the Tailed Beasts, he would not have been absent from the previous Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron.

"Hokage-sama, what is the purpose of convening the Second Five Kage Summit?" Terumī Mei suppressed the emotions in her heart and asked.

"Very simple," Kitazawa replied calmly. "I want to give you two choices: either die or join Konoha Village."

Terumī Mei and the others immediately held their breath and fell into silence.

Although they had already anticipated this possibility, facing the choice now still made them feel suffocated.

"Hokage-sama," Mabui spoke in a deep voice. "Are you not afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the Five Great Lands by doing this?"

The Fourth Raikage and the others immediately felt a faint glimmer of hope upon hearing her words.

The Five Great Lands could not possibly stand by and watch the Five Great Ninja Villages become a single entity.

"I heard that your intellect is not inferior to that of the Nara Clan." Kitazawa looked at her and spoke calmly. "Then guess why I am not afraid."

Mabui frowned slightly. Did Kitazawa intend to completely ignore the Five Great Nations?

But without the financial support of the Five Great Nations, how could the Five Great Ninja Villages continue to develop?

Wait. Mabui suddenly thought of something.

Throughout the entire Fourth Great Ninja War, the Daimyō of the Five Great Nations had never appeared.

This was clearly abnormal.

"What did you do to the Daimyō?" Mabui asked instinctively.

"You are indeed very smart." Kitazawa nodded and praised her.

The Fourth Raikage and the others immediately revealed shocked expressions.

Given Kitazawa's strength and personality, what he might have done to the Daimyō was easy to imagine.

But as prisoners, what could they say?

If Kitazawa dared to act against the Daimyō, it meant he had no intention of maintaining the "One Nation, One Village" system established by Senju Hashirama.

Anything they said now would be meaningless. On the contrary, if they angered him, he would not hesitate to kill them.

"I don't have much patience." Kitazawa did not answer Mabui's question and instead changed the topic.

"You only have five minutes to make a decision."

"I agree." Terumī Mei spoke without hesitation.

The matter of surrender was nothing new to her. During the previous war with Konoha Village, she had already made her decision.

Now that the same choice appeared again, there was nothing left to consider.

Soon after, the Fourth Raikage and the others also agreed. After all, only the living still had hope.

Back then, Senju Hashirama had single-handedly suppressed the entire Ninja World. But after his death, peace collapsed once again.

Kitazawa was younger than they were and would likely outlive them. But at most, he could outlive only two generations.

When he eventually reached the end of his natural life, the Five Great Ninja Villages would inevitably split apart again.

Kitazawa naturally understood what they were thinking.

It could only be said that their vision was too narrow. They did not know about the existence of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

He did not bother explaining. After all, he would live long enough.

By that time, the Five Great Ninja Villages would naturally merge completely, no longer distinguishing between one another.

"After joining Konoha Village, what will we need to do?" Mei looked at Kitazawa and asked.

The Fourth Raikage and the others also fixed their gazes on him. This question was clearly what concerned them the most.

"Just like before—accept orders and carry out missions," Kitazawa answered casually.

Mei and the others could not help but exchange glances.

Did this mean that aside from formally joining Konoha Village, nothing else would change for them?

"Tomorrow, there will be a Jonin Meeting in front of the Hokage Plaza." Kitazawa stood up as he spoke. "You all need to attend."

"Today's Five Kage Summit has concluded." After speaking, he turned and left the meeting room.

"What do you all think?" Ōnoki looked at the Fourth Raikage A and the others and asked.

"We have no other choice." Mei sighed softly.

"What we can do now is preserve our respective strengths and wait for the right opportunity." The Fourth Raikage clenched his fist as he spoke.

"Tomorrow's Jonin Meeting will be the key," Mabui said thoughtfully. "At that time, Kitazawa will definitely make arrangements for us."

"Then we will discuss it tomorrow." Ōnoki stood up and said.

"Now that our Four Great Ninja Villages share the same predicament, I hope we can cooperate and support each other."

"Naturally." Rasa immediately nodded in agreement.

The Fourth Raikage and Terumī Mei also expressed their approval.

Kitazawa walked into the Hokage Office. He did not know what Ōnoki and the others discussed inside the meeting room.

But whatever they said did not matter. After all, he was already invincible in the Ninja World.

If Ōnoki and the others truly wanted to stir up trouble, he would simply watch it unfold for entertainment.

"Konan, there is something I need you to do." Kitazawa sat on the sofa, looked up, and glanced at Konan.

"What is it?" Konan asked in a calm tone.

"Have the Anbu organize a list of the nobles and officials of the Five Great Nations." Kitazawa stroked her black-silk-covered thigh as he spoke.

"Mm." Konan nodded in response.

But she did not leave immediately. Instead, she quietly watched Kitazawa's actions.

Kitazawa pinched the soft flesh of her thigh, then withdrew his hand.

Konan stepped back two paces and changed into Anbu attire in front of him. After putting on the Anbu mask, she turned around and left the Hokage Office.

A new day arrived.

The plaza in front of the Hokage Building was densely packed with people. Standing in the first row were Jonin such as Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi.

Tsunade had already retired, so she did not come.

Standing in the second row were Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and other ninja who had made tremendous contributions on the battlefield.

In the third row stood the Fourth Raikage, Rasa, Terumī Mei, and the others.

Further back were the ninja and civilians of Konoha Village.

When Kitazawa appeared on the roof of the Hokage Building, the crowd erupted into deafening cheers.

His prestige had now surpassed that of Senju Hashirama.

After all, Senju Hashirama had passed away many years ago, and many of his deeds had already become history.

But Kitazawa was a living legend.

Especially since the Fourth Great Ninja War had just ended, and Konoha Village had achieved victory against four great villages at once.

Kitazawa raised his hand. The plaza instantly became silent.

"Today mainly involves two matters." Kitazawa began speaking. "The first is the Jonin Meeting, and the second is the Celebration Ceremony."

Uchiha Fugaku and the others showed anticipation upon hearing this.

Whether it was the Jonin Meeting or the Celebration Ceremony, in the end, it was about rewarding merit.

Moreover, this reward distribution was very different from before.

Because after the unification of the Ninja World, it would be difficult to achieve such great merits again in the future.

In other words, this reward distribution would determine the structure of the Ninja World and Konoha Village.

"Let's talk about the Jonin Meeting first." Kitazawa paused briefly.

"The first matter: from now on, the Five Great Ninja Villages will be changed into the Five Ninja Divisions, and the person in charge will be called Kage."

"Huh? What does that mean?" Naruto scratched his head, feeling that his intelligence was insufficient.

His lifelong dream had been to become the Hokage of Konoha Village. But now he was supposed to become the leader of a Ninja Division?

Sasuke was also somewhat puzzled. Would the Hokage in the future only be responsible for a single Ninja Division?

Then what would the overall leader of the five Ninja Divisions be called?

It wasn't just the two of them who were confused. Uchiha Fugaku and the others were also puzzled.

Only the Fourth Raikage and the others felt a sense of foreboding.

According to this arrangement, the leaders of the five Ninja Divisions would certainly all come from Konoha Village.

Then where would they go?

"The First Ninja Division will be temporarily under my charge, stationed in Konoha Village, and the title will remain Hokage."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

The reason it was temporary was that he intended to be more than just the leader of one Ninja Division.

"The Second Ninja Division will be under the command of Uchiha Fugaku, stationed in the Hidden Cloud Village, and the title will be Raikage."

Kitazawa continued.

Fugaku's heart trembled. Although he still did not fully understand the situation, this was undoubtedly a good thing for him and the Uchiha Clan.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku, and Yakushi Kabuto showed different expressions.

They had already guessed who would lead the other three Ninja Divisions. In fact, it was only natural.

Hyuga Hiashi would lead the Third Ninja Division, stationed in Iwagakure, with the title Tsuchikage.

Nara Shikaku would lead the Fourth Ninja Division, stationed in the Hidden Mist Village, with the title Mizukage.

Yakushi Kabuto would lead the Fifth Ninja Division, stationed in the Hidden Sand Village, with the title Kazekage.

"What exactly does he want to do?" The Fourth Raikage asked with an ugly expression.

Mei and the others fell silent.

Although being stripped of their Kage titles in public was difficult to accept, they were powerless to resist.

"Perhaps he wants to become the Daimyo." Mabui thought quickly and spoke.

The Fourth Raikage and the others suddenly understood, their faces filled with disbelief.

A ninja becoming a Daimyo—and the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations at that—was something unprecedented.

"The First Hokage established the 'One Village, One Nation' system. It seems the results were not very good, so I plan to make some changes." Kitazawa spoke calmly.

"I will serve as the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations and establish a new system."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell into stunned silence.

The "One Village, One Nation" system had been in effect for decades. Suddenly changing it meant people could not immediately adapt.

But soon, a large number of ninja expressed their support. This was mainly because the Daimyo, nobles, and officials generally did not treat people well.

From the original story, it could be seen that their attitude toward the ninja was far from respectful.

They could even cut the funding of ninja villages at will.

The most typical example was the Hidden Sand Village, where even Kazekage Rasa had been forced to pan for gold to earn money.

In fact, similar situations had also occurred in Konoha Village.

After Uzumaki Naruto became Hokage, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he once proposed cutting Konoha Village's funding.

"I don't particularly like the title Daimyo." Kitazawa added, "From now on, it will be changed to Supreme."

The renaming itself was only a secondary matter.

Uchiha Fugaku and the others were more concerned about what the Ninja World would become after Kitazawa assumed the position of Daimyo of the Five Great Nations.

But one thing was certain. From that moment onward, the Five Great Nations and the Five Great Ninja Villages would be unified.

This was an unprecedented situation. However, they were willing to accept it.

After all, by moving from one village to five, their power and status would rise dramatically. There was no reason for them to oppose it.

"The second matter is the reform of the Ninja Academy." Kitazawa continued speaking.

The current Ninja Academy could only cultivate traditional ninja—those who specialized in combat and killing.

Therefore, changes were necessary. One change was to add new courses while retaining the traditional curriculum.

Some of these new courses would focus on engineering-style and life-oriented ninjutsu, while others would cover subjects such as new economics, culture, and related fields.

The second change was that the six-year curriculum would be extended to twelve years.

The reason ninja previously graduated at the age of twelve was due to the wartime environment of the Ninja World, which urgently required manpower.

Now that the Ninja World had entered a period of peace, and with the need for talent to govern the world, the graduation age would be adjusted to eighteen.

After Kitazawa finished explaining, Uchiha Fugaku and the others quickly understood the purpose of reforming the Ninja Academy.

Many people even began to consider changing career paths on the spot. Especially those ninja whose strength had already reached their limit.

As traditional ninja, they might remain Genin or Chunin for their entire lives until death.

But the achievements of the new type of ninja were still unknown.

Perhaps they would possess unique talents in governing the Ninja World and eventually become high-ranking officials.

"The third matter is relocation," Kitazawa spoke slowly.

"In the future, Konoha Village will retain only the ninja of the Five Ninja Divisions. Everyone else will relocate to the Capital of the Land of Fire."

The purpose of this decision was to shift the center of power from Konoha Village to the Capital of the Land of Fire.

Departments such as the Anbu, the Hokage Secretariat, and the Film and Television Department would also move there.

In simple terms, Konoha Village would become a pure military base.

Konan quietly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

She had been worried that after Kitazawa became Emperor, he might establish many new administrative departments.

It seemed that was not the case.

"The fourth matter is rewarding merit." Kitazawa casually took out a scroll.

There were still many aspects of the Ninja World that required reform, far more than just these three matters.

However, there was no need to explain everything at once. Many changes had to be implemented gradually; they could not be completed overnight.

When the topic shifted to the reward distribution, many people became visibly expectant.

In fact, the first matter had already involved rewards.

For example, Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi became leaders of the Five Ninja Divisions.

The rewards now being discussed did not include them.

They were mainly for the ninja who had made major contributions during the Ninja World War, such as Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

The rewards were divided into two types.

The first type consisted of positions and titles.

There were mainly three points.

First, all members of the seven classes graduating from the Genius Class would be promoted to Jonin.

Second, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and the other eight Jinchūriki would form the Supreme Guard.

Previously, this unit had been planned as the Hokage Guard, but some adjustments were now necessary.

Third, other ninja who had performed excellently in the war would also receive promotions.

For example, Genin would be promoted to Chunin, and Chunin would be promoted to Jonin.

The second type of reward consisted of ninjutsu and monetary compensation.

The actual distribution would be handled by the Finance Department. After all, the number of people involved was enormous.

The Jonin Meeting lasted for an hour before coming to an end. What followed was the Celebration Ceremony.

Kitazawa personally funded a grand feast for everyone gathered in the plaza.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and only then did the crowd reluctantly disperse.
