Chapter 368 - Akatsuki's Declaration
Nagasawa felt like reforming Academy was sothing he deed necessary.
After Konoha's expansion, establishing schools for regular people should be considered on top of reforming Academy.
With that in mind, Nagasawa used Flying Thunder God Technique to quickly return to Konoha. Once he was ho, he began drafting a plan.
He couldn't just go to Minato whenever he had an idea. He needed to present sothing substantial to convince everyone.
Nagasawa took out a pen. He reflected on his past school experiences and combined them with the circumstances of this world as he started writing down his ideas.
Applying the education system from his past life might work, but it would pose several problems.
Currently, the Academy only lasted for six years, while in his previous life, it took sixteen years from elentary schoold to university. Such a drastic difference might not be accepted by everyone.
The goal of establishing the Academy in the first place was to prevent young children from being sent to the battlefield as one had to pass the Academy's assessnt to beco a Shinobi and participate in battles.
However, Tobirama was born in Warring States period, raised in a well-known Clan, so it made sense if he had slightly different outlook on life from Nagasawa.
Most students enrolled the Academy at the age of six and graduated at twelve.
In Tobirama's opinion, when you hit twelve, you were not a child anymore; you were a "grown-up" capable of fighting for the village.
But for Nagasawa, a twelve-year-old kid who had just graduated from elentary school could barely be called an adult.
After careful consideration, Nagasawa decided to divide the Academy into elentary, middle, and high school, with so adjustnts to the period.
The elentary curriculum would be similar to the existing Academy but was compressed into four years.
If a student was confident in their skills and knowledge, they could apply for early graduation to enter middle school.
Middle school courses would undergo changes. The school would provide D-rank and C-rank missions for students to practice, along with teaching Sealing Technique, Barrier Technique, dical ninjutsu, and other Techniques.
Middle school lasted for three years, and similar to elentary school, a student might apply for early graduation to enter high school if they were confident in their skills and knowledge.
High school-level courses would be entirely different. Instead of studying a broad range of subjects, students would choose one specific field to master, such as specializing in Fire Release, Water Release, or even specific technique like Sealing or Barrier Techniques.
Graduating from the high school would automatically beco a Chunin. At the sa ti high-school students' id would be equal to a Genin forehead protector, allowing them to take missions as Genin.
Like middle school, high school would also last for three years, and students might apply for early graduation as well.
However, with the difficulty that Nagasawa set, ordinary individuals would need to exert maximum effort to graduate on ti. They might be held back by a year or two if they weren't careful, and early graduation was probably only possible to geniuses like Kakashi or Itachi.
With four years in elentary, three in middle, and three in high school, totaling ten years. It was four years longer compared to the previous Academy, but it should be sowhat acceptable to the public.
After outlining the plan, Nagasawa made so adjustnts, and once he finished, he planned to hold Konoha council eting.

"Everyone, gather at the base!" Suddenly, all mbers of the Akatsuki, except Konan and Zetsu, received this order.
At that mont, Musashi and Juzo Biwa were in the midst of a battle. The abrupt command disrupted the exhilarating flow of their combat.
"What's happening?" Juzo Biwa didn't seem pleased when he inserted his giant Kubikiribocho into the ground and asked Musashi.
Since Musashi had joined Akatsuki long before him, he might have a clue about the situation.
Musashi shook his head and said, "I've never encountered such a sudden order before, but since everyone is ordered to gather, there may be so important announcent. Maybe our organization will officially make a move," Musashi speculated.
He rembered Pain saying that he would announce their next move when all ten mbers were assembled.
"Is that so? Well, let's see what the leader is after by gathering so many S-rank Missing-nin." Juzo Biwa's eyes flashed with curiosity.
During his ti in the Akatsuki, Juzo Biwa was surprised as he discovered that his strength was only average among the other mbers. Moreover, most of them were missing-nin! After observing the organization, Juzo Biwa felt that the leader of Akatsuki must have grand ambitions, possibly intending to overturn the world's current order.
They arrived at Akatsuki's base location together and entered the base.
They were pretty late as there were already seven people present. After they joined, the head count increased to nine.
After a while, Raiga Kurosuki also entered the base, and all ten Akatsuki mbers were present for the first ti.
"That's the newcor. He's wearing Kirigakure's forehead protector. Do you know him?" Watching the shark-like young man standing next to Pain, Musashi nudged Juzo Biwa out of curiosity.
"I don't know him. It's not like I know every Kirigakure Shinobi," Juzo Biwa replied annoyedly.
"I rember him. He's a mber of Anbu, one of Fuguki Suikazan's subordinates," Raiga Kurosuki suddenly answered.
"But what piques my interest is he has Sahada."
"That guy is called Kisa Hoshigaki, Kirigakure's S-rank missing-nin. From now on, he's one of us from now on, codenad South Star," Pain announced indifferently.
After Pain's introduction, Kisa joined the rest of the mbers.
"Now that all of Akatsuki mbers are here, we can start the first phase of our operation."
At this mont, even Pain, who was essentially a puppet, showed a hint of excitent on his face.
"The first phase involves gathering a large amount of money to prepare for our next move. Then, we'll provide rcenary services at well under the competitive rate, using the money we gathered to offset costs. This will make countries increasingly dependent on our services, corner the entire market for Shinobi missions, and eventually put all of the Shinobi Villages out of business because they can't compete with our prices, and it will plunge the entire world into a more chaotic war than the previous ones.
'As I suspected.' After hearing Pain's words, Juzo Biwa was shaken. The Akatsuki indeed had big ambitions.
Their goal wasn't world peace; that was a lie. Their aim was to plunge the world into ultimate chaos.
