"First, the E-level library level is open to everyone. No matter who you are, you can borrow books."
"Second, the D-level library level requires some gates. It only provides borrowing services for students in ninja schools and those who become ninjas."
"Third, at the C-level library level, the borrowing threshold is further raised. It only provides borrowing services to senior students of the ninja school and ninjas who have made contributions to Konoha."
"Fourth, B-level library level, it only provides borrowing service once in a lifetime to students who have graduated from the Ninja School. For those who have become ninjas, unless they have made significant achievements, they can only have one borrowing opportunity in their next life."
"Fifth, A-level library level. Because the level of ninjutsu is very high, the power, difficulty, and danger are also increased accordingly, so the conditions for opening this library level are more stringent."
"The A-level library level is only open to ninjas of the special level and above, and it is also only open once in a lifetime."
"If you want to continue borrowing A-level library-level ninjutsu, you need to meet two of the following three conditions before you will be allowed to borrow it."
"First, you must have made a great contribution to the village. Second, you must have donated A-level ninjutsu personally or through your family. Third, you must have the consent of the current Hokage."
"The above is the borrowing rules of the Ninjutsu Library that I drafted. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, someone immediately raised his hand and stood up to ask him a question.
"Yondaime Hokage, aren't the A-rank borrowing regulations a bit too harsh?"
"And when an individual or family donates an A-level ninjutsu, does the individual have the right to borrow it or does the entire family have the right to borrow it?"
"To answer your first question."
Namikaze Minato raised a finger, "I don't think the limits I set are harsh."
"You know, my signature ninjutsu, the Rasengan and the Flying Thunder God Technique, both appear at the A-rank level. If you want to learn and borrow such powerful ninjutsu, no matter how harsh the conditions are, they are not too harsh."
"Second question." Namikaze Minato raised another finger, "For individuals who have donated A-level ninjutsu, of course he should go and borrow it personally."
"Of course, the A-level ninjutsu donated by the family naturally has the right to be borrowed by all family members."
"After all, you have made contributions to the village, so the village will naturally not forget you. Some privileges are still allowed to exist."
Minato Namikaze's words made everyone present look surprised.
Everyone present here is a smart person among smart people. They can naturally understand Minato Namikaze's subtext, and naturally know the benefits that their family can get after donating A-level ninjutsu.
Donating ninjutsu is like an investment. You can use an A-level ninjutsu to exchange for the opportunity to learn all the A-level ninjutsu in Konoha, and each member of the family has one opportunity!
Isn't this what it means to use a small amount to achieve a big gain? !
But even so, the people present were somewhat hesitant in the face of such readily available benefits, and some even hated Minato Namikaze so much that his teeth were itching.
Namikaze Mizumon claimed that he provided privileges to families that donated A-level ninjutsu, but this "privilege" was actually a real bait!
Two of the three conditions must be met in order to borrow the A-level level of the Ninjutsu Library.
In other words, after a ninja family in Konoha contributed an A-level ninjutsu, if they wanted to make a small investment to allow all the ninjas in the family to read most of Konoha's A-level ninjutsu, they would still need to obtain the consent of Minato Namikaze, or make a huge contribution to Konoha before they would be allowed to borrow it.
If you think about it carefully, you will understand, how many ninjas in the entire clan can make great contributions to Konoha?
In the end, if he wants to make a small investment for a big gain, he still needs Minato Namikaze's approval.
But a ninja clan can only contribute one A-level ninjutsu. Will Namikaze Minato agree that their entire clan can go to the A-level level to borrow A-level ninjutsu?
Don't even think about it, this is impossible!
Therefore, the tempting condition that Namikaze Minato threw out was a sugar-coated cannonball.
Everyone wants to refuse, but facing the temptation of A-level ninjutsu, how many people can hold on?
"Hokage-sama, our Moonlight Clan is willing to donate all the A-level ninjutsu we have, even some of the secret techniques we have!"
The first person to try it out stood up...
The Moonlight Clan is actually in a similar situation to the Hatake Clan.
Their ancestors were once glorious, but with the outbreak of the last two Ninja World Wars, the Gekko Clan suffered heavy casualties and the family's strength declined.
Although it cannot be said that it is on the edge of the Konoha ninja clans, its strength is just mediocre and very embarrassing.
But if they contribute all the ninjutsu of their family, the situation their family will face in the future will be different.
There is no doubt that the Moonlight Clan, who took the lead, would definitely be favored by Minato Namikaze, and then all members of their clan would immediately be qualified to borrow A-level ninjutsu in the A-level hierarchy.
What do you call it, exchanging one family's A-level ninjutsu for most of Konoha's A-level ninjutsu?
This is called making the most of a small investment, turning a bicycle into a motorcycle!
"Thank you, Moonlight Clan, for your outstanding contribution to the village. Once the Ninjutsu Library is completed, I will allow your entire clan to borrow all the A-level Ninjutsu recorded in the A-level hierarchy."
Minato Namikaze's words were like a depth charge, causing some of the weaker ninja clan leaders present to immediately become restless!
How can it be more satisfying to just keep your own family's ninjutsu than to contribute it and learn about the ninjutsu of the entire Konoha? !
Everything in the world is for profit, and strength is naturally a kind of benefit.
Soon, the chiefs of the various Konoha ninja clans that were in the middle or behind in strength expressed their willingness to contribute the various A-level ninjutsu and even secret techniques that their families possessed.
In response to this, Namikaze Minato never stopped smiling, and he also promised them that after the ninjutsu library was built, their entire clan would be allowed to borrow A-level ninjutsu.
Gradually, the chiefs of the most powerful ninja clans in Konoha could no longer sit still.
The reason why their family is so strong is naturally because of the various powerful ninjutsu inherited in their family and the elite education they provide to the younger generations of the family.
Leaving aside the elite education, let’s just talk about the inheritance of ninjutsu. After receiving the promise of Namikaze Minato, a group of lower-strength ninja families have surpassed them in this respect.
As one grows stronger while the other declines, one can imagine the future situation of these powerful families.
Resentment, anger, anxiety, all these emotions gathered together and finally condensed into a sigh.
Except for Shimura, Utane, Mitomon, and the Sarutobi clan, everyone present compromised...
Minato Namikaze was very satisfied with this, but he was still a little disappointed with the choice of the four clans: Shimura, Utane, Mitomon, and Sarutobi.
It's not that they are ignorant of current affairs, but that one day in the future, Minato Namikaze will face him with a sword.
Although it will not lead to a war of genocide, it will more or less cause damage to Konoha's foundation, which is something Namikaze Minato does not want to see.
However, this situation was already anticipated by Hatake Akira.
The Sarutobi clan is now the undisputed largest clan in Konoha!
The Uchiha clan cannot compare, and the same is true for the Hyuga clan.
It's not that the fighting power of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans is inferior to that of the Sarutobi clan, but that the background of the two clans is nothing compared to the current Sarutobi clan.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is called "Doctor of Ninjutsu". It can be seen from the title alone that he has dabbled in and mastered countless ninjutsu.
How did Sarutobi Hiruzen master these ninjutsu?
Needless to say, it naturally came from the home collection of the Sarutobi clan.
Judging from Sarutobi's range of ninjutsu, the Sarutobi clan's collection of books is already frighteningly large.
As for where these books came from...
Hatake Akira could only say with a smile: The situation is tight in the front and tight in the back.
Based on the strong heritage of the Sarutobi clan, they are naturally not afraid of the Konoha situation after the establishment of the ninjutsu library.
but……
Hatake Akira still gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a meaningful look. In many cases, plans are much faster than changes, and so fast that people can't react.
He had already planned a combination of punches with Minato Namikaze, but they didn't finish it so quickly.
The best is yet to come!
Nodding to Minato Namikaze, Akira Hatake leaned calmly in his chair, waiting for the second depth charge that Minato Namikaze was about to drop!
Minato Namikaze immediately understood and stretched out his hand again, and after the meeting room quieted down, he slowly put forward his next proposal.
Chapter 233: A tit-for-tat confrontation between conservatism and radicalism.
Why do the major hidden villages in the ninja world keep their respective ninjutsu so secretive?
Why is the threshold for learning high-level ninjutsu set so high?
One is to prevent other ninja villages from obtaining the village's advanced ninjutsu through espionage;
The second purpose is to better maintain the stability of all classes in the village by dividing them into different levels.
You know, the ninja's espionage methods are very sophisticated. If ordinary people can learn advanced ninjutsu, then the special skills of the major hidden villages will definitely be stolen.
As for the grassroots ninjas in the village, that is easier to understand.
The most stable structure in human society is the pyramid structure.
In each hidden village, the top structure is the village leaders, who possess powerful strength and control the right to speak and make decisions in the village.
Some of the ninjas in the middle are powerful ninjas who have mastered certain powerful ninjutsu and have the support of their own families. They are the backbone of the village.
A little bit lower are the best among the civilian ninjas. They also have a certain level of strength, but due to the limited exposure to powerful ninjutsu, their path to advancement is blocked.
The superiors in the village can take advantage of this and make use of the opportunities that slip through their fingers to learn powerful ninjutsu, thereby winning them over and making them into brave warriors who charge into battle.
The structure at the bottom of the pyramid is the largest and weakest civilian ninjas.
They often only learned the ordinary three body techniques and some rudimentary physical techniques, and were then given the title of ninja by their superiors.
Dirty and back-breaking work, low-paying assignments, and cannon fodder on the battlefield are their fate in this life.
After going through all this, some outstanding people will emerge among the civilian Genin, and then the superiors will follow suit, teaching the outstanding Genin some more advanced ninjutsu based on their path to advancement.
In this way, a stable and perfect cycle is created, which can allow the ninja village to maintain vitality and order while obtaining a steady supply of new blood.
After all, everyone wants to climb up, and the top ninjas who have mastered the way to climb up become their goals and the people they want to follow closely throughout their lives.
It's cruel, but this is the ninja structure of the major hidden villages. If you want to break this pyramid structure, in addition to your own strong strength, you also need to master all the ninja's promotion methods, that is, various powerful ninjutsu.
Nowadays, Minato Namikaze has become such a person.
He wanted to break this cruel pyramid structure and also mastered the way for ninjas to promote themselves.
It can be said that Minato Namikaze is now rebelling against himself and has become his own gravedigger.
Although this may appear to be the case on the surface, the actual situation is somewhat different from the reality.
In the expectations of Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato, the pyramid is still the most stable social structure, which they are unable to change and do not even think about changing.
But even so, the master and the disciple managed to minimize the cruelty of the pyramid society by replacing the concepts.
According to the expectations of Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato, they wanted to make the pie bigger by completely opening up the promotion channels for everyone.
