Chapter 52: The Mind Of A Ruler I

...........

"The Overseer is almost ready, so I shouldn't have to guide the World myself for much longer, but while I'm here, we have to do things as perfectly as possible, understood?" Stated Isaac.

"Understood!" "Understood." "Understood," "Okay!" 

The same exact voice resounded as a response, all his clones though strangely, Konan and Pain were also in the Hall.

What was happening was a meeting to decide the future of the Village of Rain, led by Isaac, or rather, the latter basically took over.

"Let's see, Judicial Reforms... We have to skip this. The people don't have the education level necessary yet," Isaac murmured as he read through the papers before him, "Thus why we will start with Education and Training reforms... Who will be responsible for these?"

"I!" A clone volunteered, "However, I have to remind everyone that we should simplify the runic code for it to be anywhere near digestible to the average person."

"I agree. We've already discovered thousands of runic symbols, with no end of them in sight, and each technique requires dozens to hundreds and even thousands of symbols to work seamlessly together for it to function properly. That's not viable for the average person."

"That's not a problem since a solution is already in the works," Isaac shook his head, "We have already managed to lower the requirement of most techniques to a few to dozen symbols at most at the cost of much less capabilities."

"The curse seal is also completed, so even talentless individuals should be able to use some of the techniques," A clone nodded.

"The common people being able to use some of the simpler techniques should advance Agriculture and several other fields significantly."

"Let's continue," Stated Isaac before his clones lose themselves in their discussion, "Who's going to be responsible for Land Redistribution?"

"I," Another clone raised his hand, "I've already come up with several land reforms to prevent monopolies and promote agricultural productivity."

"What about Economic Diversevation?" Isaac questioned before adding, "It's a big issue in the world, so we need a group to oversee this side."

"I," "I." "Me!" "The issue needs to be discussed thoroughly with the Education side. Encouraging the development of various industries beyond agriculture and ninja services to create a more robust and diversified economy necessitates better education."

"You can discuss it later," Isaac nodded, agreeing with himself, "Something else that requires a group to oversee is Trade and Infrastructure."

"We've already sent dozens of clones to survey the terrain of the country. Once we have an accurate map, we can Improve infrastructure, starting with roads and communication networks."

"Indeed, the necessary infrastructure for the internet to work here should be ready in at most three months. Trade should come naturally after that."

"You all should also be responsible for terraforming the lands around here. We can build a high wall around the village, and since it rains a lot around here, we can form a natural body of water circling the village." Isaac suggested.

"Sounds plausible," A clone raised a brow before nodding, "If we form a river coming from the mountains behind, it should be easily doable, then we can make bridges for ease of transportation."

"Hmm, interesting idea, though we can take it further. What if we extend the river to the ocean? We can introduce another economic avenue for the people, Fishing."

"Come up with a great representation of the plausibility of the idea, then we can discuss it further," Stated Isaac before moving on, "Healthcare and Welfare."

"We can just recreate Healthcare how we did it in Konoha but better since we have more freedom here. I participated in the operation before so I will take the job again."

"I will take care of Welfare, although I feel like it's a touchy subject we should discuss. It would be a problem if we gave too much just as it would be a problem if we gave too little."

"Sure, we can run it by the Overseer once it's ready," Isaac nodded before continuing on with the list, "Ninja Utilization."

"I! It shouldn't be too difficult to Shift the focus of ninja activities from combat and assassination to public service, such as disaster relief, infrastructure development, and public safety. At least, it would mean they won't have to risk their lives as much."

"I'm not sure. The cultural impact of the way of Ninjas might be engraved too deeply in their bones, so some may go against this reform."

"Can we afford to be kind to these kinds of people, or should we eliminate them to ensure a cleaner world, without the purists of the old world."

"We aren't sure yet," Isaac shook his head before continuing, taking a deep breath before saying, "The economic and political system of the country."

"We already have an answer to that, don't we?"

"Indeed, Capitalism, Socialism, and Marxism are all garbage. It's the Overseer's job to create a greater eternal system, then maybe we can perfect it."

"I agree," Isaac nodded, "And we should focus on making preventive measures against monopolies. They absolutely must not be allowed. Competition breeds excellence after all."

"What about Military Reforms?" A clone questioned.

"Considering they include Reducing the influence of military leaders in political decisions to prevent militarization of governance, they shouldn't be done now, not until we're ready."

"Indeed, the Villages are basically military camps, changing that right now will spark strong opposition. We should make the transition as smooth as possible."

"Should we script it?"

"Maybe."

"Alright, is there anything I've missed? Any questions or doubts you still have?" Isaac put the papers down before asking.

"I have a question, considering we have just relaunched Eternal News and the degree of changes we will make to this country, it would only be a matter of time before we are discovered."

"Not only would our enemies discover our location, but if we run some predictions on the future, the Five Great Shinobi Villages will definitely target us for our riches and advancement."

"Killing Danzo should delay that, right? Or is he still of use?"

"Hmm, I'm not entirely sure yet," Isaac stroked his chin in deep thought, "However, Danzo is an impressive force of self-destruction, his actions can certainly smooth the transition of the world."

"I have a question," The clones all turned their heads for the speaker wasn't any of them, it was Konan, "How? Why are you all speaking as if you are the Daimyo, like you can make such changes?"

Oh, right, Pain and Konan were both still in the hall, and they listened to all they said. It started with confusion, and even more confusion, then turned into astonishment.

At one point, Isaac and his clones' discussion became so odd it sounded like an unknown ancient language to them, only to realize... Isaac has thought things so so far.

The Akatsuki was supposed to be an organization that pursued peace, but thinking things to such a degree was never in the realm of possibilities.

Isaac seemed to have already established a framework for a peaceful future world. However, can he establish that framework in reality? Does he have the power to?

"I can make such changes... I am the Daimyo," Isaac naturally nodded, "I've already taken action yesterday. The Daimyo mansion is already under my control."

"Huh?" Konan was stunned. That's something Isaac noticed very early about Ninjas, despite the enormous power they possess, they somehow can never escape their roles as the lapdogs of the Daimyos.

Maybe only the likes of Orochimaru can escape the cultural nature of the world that's engraved in their bones.

"I've already sent some of my clones to filter out the nobles of the Country of Rain, then we can have absolute control over it," Isaac stated, "That should make things much easier for the Plan."
