Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

Hinata Ayane sighed softly and looked at the ninjas coming and going in the village. Their expressions revealed a suppressed fighting spirit.

"The lives of these ninjas are really hard. They either rely on grants from the daimyo or can only make a living by carrying out high-risk missions. And their leader, the Third Kazekage, actually has to mine himself to subsidize the village's finances. This is simply unimaginable."

Uchiha Yingyue's gaze fell on a mine that was being mined in the distance. It was a symbol of the Sand Village's desperate efforts to survive.

"The daimyo of the Wind Country is obviously wary of ninjas," he said. "If the ninjas gain control of the economic resources, they will no longer need funding from the daimyo, and the daimyo's value of existence will be greatly reduced."

Uchiha Yingyue thought of Konoha's livable environment and relatively abundant resources, and then compared it with the Sand Village in front of him, and felt even more complicated.

Although Konoha is economically prosperous with the support of the daimyo, there are also unknown power struggles behind it.

The situation of the Sand Village is even more tragic. Struggling to survive in the harsh natural environment, the life and battle of the ninjas are full of hardships.

"Kagezuki," Ayane called softly, "Do you think the Sand Village has a future?"

Uchiha Kagezuki was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "As long as the Daimyo of Wind Country continues to be so harsh, the future of Sand Village will be very difficult. They need more resources and more support to get out of this predicament. But to change this situation, the power of ninjas alone is far from enough. To fundamentally solve the problem, the political structure of Wind Country must be changed so that ninjas are no longer subject to funding from the Daimyo, but can develop independently."

Qianxia looked at Yingyue with a glimmer of admiration in her eyes. "Yingyue, do you have a plan?"

Uchiha Kagezuki smiled and did not answer directly, but looked into the distance. "Maybe, there are still many things that need to be changed in the future ninja world. But for now, all we can do is observe, learn, and then prepare for the future."

The three continued to travel in the Sand Village. Although the poverty and hardship before them made them feel heavy-hearted, Yingyue's heart became more determined to change the world.

The plight of the Sand Village made him realize that the peace and prosperity of the ninja world could not be achieved solely by the power of the ninja.

For everyone to live a better life, the structure and rules of this world must be fundamentally changed.

Uchiha Kagezuki stood on a high ground in the Sand Village, overlooking the desolate desert.

The wind and sand were flying in the air, as if countless fragments of history were being rolled up. At this moment, Yingyue's thoughts also returned to the past of the ninja world.

Since arriving in this world, Shadow Moon has been slowly piecing together the history of the ninja world through Konoha's library and the secret scrolls of the Uchiha clan.

Although this period of history seems unclear in the long river of time, Yingyue has his own speculation and understanding in his heart.

The history of the ninja world originated from the myth of the goddess of the rabbit, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and the sacred tree.

It is said that Kaguya came to the earth, brought chakra, planted the sacred tree, and later ate the chakra fruit and became the ancestor of the ninja world.

However, although this legendary myth is described as grand and mysterious, there is no clear time record.

The history of the ninja world is mostly passed down orally, and there are not many accurate written records. Yingyue speculates that the history of the ninja world may not be as long as the legend says, and is only about one thousand to two thousand years at most.

During this long period of time, the social structure and system of the ninja world have hardly undergone any substantial changes.

When Kaguya Ōtsutsuki came, the prototype of a feudal society like the Ancestral Kingdom already existed, but thousands of years have passed and the ninja world is still at the level of a feudal society.

In comparison, the historical development of Yingyue's previous life was much faster.

Yingyue believes that it is precisely because there were no supernatural powers in the previous life that the gap in strength between people is not so great, and everyone can have an impact on social development, which has prompted the continuous reform of the social system and the rapid improvement of productivity.

The extraordinary power of the ninja world brings great strength, but also inhibits social progress.

In this world, a powerful ninja can easily fight against hundreds or thousands of civilians, which means that the rulers only need to win over a few ninjas to maintain their rule over the civilians.

As a result, the power of the common people was greatly weakened, and the fairness and vitality of society were suppressed.

"The curse of extraordinary power..." Uchiha Yingyue muttered to himself. He realized that it was the existence of this power that caused the social system of the ninja world to fall into a quagmire of stagnation.

Rulers and powerful ninjas cling to the old order, hindering social progress, while those with power often ignore the needs and survival of civilians.

"If there were no chakra, perhaps the world would develop more quickly and fairly." Uchiha Yingyue thought to himself.

Uchiha Yingyue clearly realized that although extraordinary powers gave individuals enormous abilities, they invisibly hindered the progress of society as a whole.

Yingyue thought about her past life, the world without supernatural powers but prosperous.

People in previous lives had no chakra or ninjutsu, but they relied on wisdom and unity to build a fair and vibrant society.

Everyone can change his or her own destiny through hard work. Science and technology and productivity have developed greatly, and the social system is constantly changing and optimizing.

"Perhaps, this is the meaning of my coming to this world." Uchiha Yingyue thought silently in his heart.

To change the current situation in the ninja world, we cannot rely solely on strength, but must promote the progress of the entire society so that everyone can enjoy equal rights and opportunities.

Uchiha Kagezuki was determined to no longer simply solve problems through force, but to truly promote the progress of the ninja world through changes in education, technology and social systems.

Whether through the promotion of improved rice varieties or through the suppression of lords of various countries, Uchiha Yingyue hopes to shake up this closed and backward world bit by bit.

"I will not let this world continue to stagnate in the quagmire of feudalism," Uchiha Yingyue said firmly, "Supernatural power is the curse of this world, but I will find a way to break this curse and let this world usher in true light."

Uchiha Kagezuki was pondering the history of the ninja world. Through a large amount of information and secret scrolls, he gradually pieced together a truth that had been buried by time.

This truth made him realize that the power structure of the ninja world was not static, but was constantly evolving.

A long time ago, ninjas ruled the entire ninja world with their extraordinary powers. The daimyo was just a small role who helped the ninjas manage territories and collect taxes. His power and status were far inferior to those of the ninjas.

In that era, ninjas were above everything else.

They are powerful, mysterious, and possess extraordinary powers that can easily determine the outcome of a battle and even influence the rise and fall of a country.

The daimyo were merely administrators, responsible for managing land, collecting taxes, and maintaining order for the ninjas.

Although their position carries power, they are in reality just tools, subject to the will of the ninja.

In the ninja world of that period, ninjas were the absolute rulers.

However, as time went on, the fighting between ninjas became more and more fierce.

They frequently waged wars to fight for territory, resources and power. In each war, countless powerful ninjas fell, and the new ninjas might not have enough strength and wisdom to control everything.

The brutal competition and killing made these ninjas gradually lose their focus on politics and ruling. Their lives were filled with fighting and killing, and they had no time and energy to study how to govern and rule.

The daimyo, who originally played the role of a younger brother and a tool, took advantage of this opportunity to gradually gain more power.

They were no longer just managers working for the ninjas, but were gradually consolidating their position through political and economic means.

As time went on, the daimyo began to accumulate wealth, build their own power, and even began to influence and control the struggles between ninjas.

Gradually, ninjas became thugs and mercenaries of the daimyo.

Although they were still powerful, their strength was used more to secure benefits for the daimyo rather than to rule and govern.

The daimyo gained control of economic distribution and political decision-making, gradually emerging from behind the scenes to become the real rulers.

The ninjas lost their original status and became tools of force serving the daimyo.
