After putting in an extremely strenuous effort for several days, Haruki barely achieved his goal.
While sorting out extremely cumbersome theories and plans, he deeply felt the greatness of the predecessors.
He had the memories of his past life and the cheat of this life, and only then did he reach this stage.
But they built a brand - new and great country from scratch, like the act of creating the world from chaos, which was like creating the world.
Haruki couldn't imagine it, but he admired and respected them immensely.
On the first day of July.
The sun in Konoha was especially bright. The golden sunlight, bringing warmth, awakened the cooking smoke rising from every household.
The world came back to life.
Haruki and Tsunade came to the designated place early.
It was a medium - sized sailing ship.
The masts were like three white clouds hanging on them. There was no wind at this time, so the ship hovered quietly on the river.
Besides sailing ships, the original story also had steamships and electric boats.
But they weren't needed. The sailing ship was enough.
Haruki stepped on the water with chakra to cross the river and board the ship. But instead of entering the cabin, he set up tables and stools in the sunlight.
A moment later, Minato Namikaze, Mikoto Uchiha, and Kushina Uzumaki arrived.
As if it was a signal, Oshima Yoshiyuki, Tomomi Koki, Shinji Hira, and Hiashi Hyuga boarded the ship one after another.
Including Haruki, there were nine people in total.
Among them, Hiashi Hyuga was the most confused. He didn't even know Oshima Yoshiyuki and the others.
Originally, he wasn't qualified to attend the meeting.
But considering the current reform of the Hyuga clan, the A Happy Union of Gold and Jade with them, and the special Byakugan army to be formed later, Haruki gave him a seat to attend the meeting.
Moreover, given the current situation of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi Hyuga didn't dare to betray him.
"Everyone, take a seat. No need to worry about seating order. Just take any seat you like," Haruki knocked on the table and said with a smile.
Minato and the other two were the first to act. They sat down in turn next to Haruki on the left, while Oshima Yoshiyuki and the other three naturally sat on the right.
Hiashi Hyuga was a bit slow and sat across from Haruki with a forced smile.
"You've all been told before. Since you're here, it means you're all on board with joining the organization."
Haruki looked around. Everyone had a listening expression. He nodded and continued,
"This meeting involves several proposals. But since it's everyone's first time and we have no experience, and it's still in the early stage of establishment, I'll handle it. However, before talking about the proposals, I want to announce a permanent rule.
Our organization differs from others. Everyone on this ship is a like - minded friend, regardless of your origin, strength, or wealth, and everyone has the right to vote.
Simply put, if I or other members in the future put forward a proposal, the people at the meeting will vote. Everyone has only one vote. If more than half of the votes are in favor, the proposal passes; otherwise, it fails. But it can be proposed again at the next meeting."
Haruki stopped speaking, leaving time for them to react.
The eight people at the table looked at each other. They understood voting, after all, they knew the process of Hokage selection. But that was just a process, and the final decision - making power was in the hands of the Konoha high - ups.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been several generations of Hokage who were either teachers and students or close relatives.
And what Haruki meant was clearly that everyone had the same voting right.
In other words, they could even unite to reject Haruki's proposals.
This had an extremely huge impact on them.
"Now, let's start with the first proposal. This proposal concerns the name, pattern, and insignia of our organization. There should also have been unified clothing, but there wasn't enough time to design it, so we'll talk about that next time."
Haruki took out a scroll and nine diamond - shaped kunai.
"The scroll shows the pattern of our organization, and these diamond - shaped kunai are imbued with the Flying Thunder God Technique. They serve as both our insignia and a life - saving tool."
As he distributed the kunai, he said, "Our organization is simply named 'Xia' (Summer in Chinese). It's currently summer, the time when the sun shines brightest. As the saying goes, when the sun shines fiercely, all things are revealed, and all moryo (evil spirits) are eliminated. As for the pattern, or rather, the flag, I call it The Red Dragon Flag."
After saying that, Haruki unfurled the scroll on the table.
A vivid dragon was about to take off, surrounded by stars.
Haruki smiled and explained that this related to the purpose of their organization, which was actually quite simple - to give everyone an equal chance.
Minato Namikaze opened his mouth.
Simple?
You've got to be kidding. You must have some misunderstanding.
"I'm totally lost here," he said.
Hiashi Hyuga hesitantly raised his hand. Logically, he shouldn't have asked this question, but since he had joined, he wanted to understand clearly.
"Why are we doing this?"
"That's a good question," Haruki replied. He had thought Hiashi wouldn't dare to ask, since he hadn't taken the courses at the Ninja Academy and hadn't been by his side, so it was normal that he didn't understand.
"But it's hard to explain right now. You'll get the answer to your question in a few days."
Seeing Hiashi nod, he slapped the table and said, "Those in favor of the first proposal, raise your hands for a vote."
All nine people, including Haruki, raised their hands.
"Good, the proposal passes. Now, let's move on to the second one, which is how to solve Hiashi's problem. Our organization will hold monthly learning meetings that all official members must attend, covering the purpose, program, plan, and ideas of our organization. Any objections?"
Haruki looked around. Thanks to Hiashi's previous question, they didn't have many objections to this proposal.
The only slight doubt was about the high monthly frequency. Was there really so much to learn? But due to Haruki's authority, the doubts were temporarily suppressed.
Especially Hiashi, who never expected to still have to study after leaving the Ninja Academy. It seemed a bit of an overkill.
"Good. The third proposal, I'm sure you're all quite interested in it. This proposal is about the division of labor and appointments for each of you."
The expressions of the eight people changed slightly.
Oshima Yoshiyuki and two others had followed Haruki the longest, seen a lot, and remained calm so far.
Tsunade was similar, but it was because of Haruki that she didn't really care.
Minato Namikaze and Mikoto Uchiha each had their own goals, so they were more concerned.
Hiashi Hyuga was just curious about what he, who seemed like an outsider, could do.
And Kushina Uzumaki, the only academic under - achiever among them, was a bit dazed at the moment, finding it all too complicated.
"Before the official appointments, I'll first explain the rules of our election.
Nominated by official members, at least three candidates will be selected for voting. The one with the most votes will be elected. The leadership will be changed every five years, including the top leader of the Organization.
Haruki said seriously, "All the rules I mentioned today will be written into the Organization's regulations. No one is allowed to violate them."
Hiashi Hyuga was taken aback.
He had never seen anyone willing to put a lock on their own power and even confine themselves in a cage.
What was even weirder was that among the nine people present, only he seemed to be puzzled by this.
Is it me who's abnormal? Or is the whole Organization abnormal?
Hiashi Hyuga fell into doubt.
"Since this is the first session, this procedure cannot be carried out. I'll make the nomination today. If it doesn't pass, we'll have someone else do it."
Haruki smiled slightly. "For the first position, the leader of the Organization, I nominate myself."
