Regarding the research on the Earth Grudge Fear, Tobirama quickly issued an order to gather the most outstanding medical ninjas in the medical department to begin the analysis and improvement of the Earth Grudge Fear.
This was destined to be a long and arduous task, and the first problem the medical ninjas faced was not how to improve the Earth Grudge Fear, but how to restore it from Kakuzu's corpse.
Although Kakuzu was dead and the Yamanaka clan's secret technique could not extract the Earth Grudge Fear from his brain, as long as a ninja practiced a jutsu, their chakra meridians would change due to the nature transformation involved.
Medical ninjas could study the secret techniques he learned in life from these changes, which was also the value of a ninja's corpse, and the traces left by the Earth Grudge Fear, a secret technique entirely dependent on physical mutation, were even more obvious.
Even so, restoring the Earth Grudge Fear secret technique from Kakuzu's corpse was still a troublesome matter.
The Earth Grudge Fear was, after all, a high-level secret technique; if it could be easily deciphered, it wouldn't be considered high-level.
Due to a previous agreement, Tsunade was also able to participate in the research on the Earth Grudge Fear.
Of course, with her abilities, she couldn't offer much help and could only watch from the sidelines.
Therefore, she could also leave the medical department early every day, instead of sleeping directly in the medical department like other medical ninjas.
From Tsunade, Fumori Masaki could learn about the progress of the Earth Grudge Fear research.
According to her, the medical ninjas involved in the research basically forgot to eat and sleep, often only resting when their bodies couldn't take it anymore, and they didn't even have a chance to go home, working incredibly hard.
Fumori Masaki could only cheer them on in his heart, as he himself knew nothing about medical ninjutsu, only some modern medical theories.
The basic theories had already been communicated to the medical department, compiled into a book, and became popular science reading material within the medical department, hopefully playing some role in the research of the Earth Grudge Fear.
Fumori Masaki always felt that he was not a person of extraordinary talent; it was only due to his knowledge from other worlds that he could see further than ordinary people.
However, he could only ensure the general direction, and he was powerless when it came to the details.
If he were to forcefully participate, it would be an amateur guiding an expert.
He firmly believed that a project required people specialized in it to be in charge, otherwise it would only mislead the research direction of the project or cause unnecessary losses.
The research on the Earth Grudge Fear would not yield results in a short time, so Fumori Masaki did not pay too much attention to it.
Anyway, his efforts would be of no use, so it was better to relax and wait for the results.
It was at this time that the Land of Demons sent the first decoded secret scroll of the Shinobi Sect.
Fumori Masaki eagerly began to read, picking up from where he left off.
The content mainly described the education the First Priestess received under the Shinobi Sect, from which one could clearly understand the philosophical tenets of the Six Paths Sage, and his extended discourse based on the principles of love, facing the present, and maintaining order and peace.
As a secret scroll from a thousand years ago, the text was concise and seemingly simple and clear, but due to the multiple meanings of words, truly understanding all of the Six Paths Sage's propositions was not an easy task.
However, this was exactly what Fumori Masaki needed.
The Shinobi Sect, as a native philosophical thought, had a rich foundational soil.
Therefore, Fumori Masaki chose to start from it to influence the ideological concepts of the ninja world, and what he wanted to instill were modern ideological theories, not the classical philosophy from a thousand years ago.
The Six Paths Sage was indeed a god-like figure, but that referred to his power.
In terms of thought alone, he was more profound than people of ancient times, but he could not transcend the scope of humanity.
Due to the limitations of the era, the ideological theories proposed by the Six Paths Sage were also born against a feudal background, and no matter how advanced, they couldn't be too far ahead.
Therefore, Fumori Masaki would not simply copy the Shinobi Sect's theories.
What he needed to do was put new wine in old bottles, packaging new ideas with the Shinobi Sect's outer shell.
Thus, the vague discourses in the secret scroll were the best, because they allowed for multiple interpretations.
Even if modern theories were interpreted, as long as he could control the interpretation of the Shinobi Sect's scriptures, then he could gain the moral high ground.
"Masahiko, your concept of a just war actually coincides with the Shinobi Sect's scriptures," Satomi, who was also reading the secret scroll nearby, said with some surprise.
What Satomi referred to was the Six Paths Sage's opposition to war recorded in the scriptures.
He viewed war as a savage beast that would bring suffering to people.
Therefore, the Six Paths Sage warned the monarchs of various countries to stop their wars of conquest.
Fumori Masaki, however, smiled.
In his opinion, the Six Paths Sage had not established any theory of a just war.
It was just that, in Satomi's eyes, having been exposed to the theory of a just war, this passage naturally transformed into the Six Paths Sage opposing unjust wars and supporting just wars.
This was the advantage of vague records.
As long as there was a new, preconceived notion, similar parts in classical philosophical thought would resonate with each other, combining them.
Because it had existed since ancient times, ordinary people would only think that they hadn't truly understood the essence of classical philosophy, and would thus be more easily accepting of new ideas.
Fumori Masaki did not directly reveal the reason, but nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, the Six Paths Sage truly lives up to his legendary status as a sage.
What I have conceived has long been articulated by the Sage.
It's a pity that people in the past did not heed his teachings, alas."
"Our village is now walking on the correct path spoken of by the Six Paths Sage," Satomi couldn't help but say.
Because her ancestor was the Six Paths Sage, she agreed even more with this statement, believing that Konoha Ninja Village was the true successor of the Shinobi Sect, and that Konoha Ninja Village would take over the Shinobi Sect to complete its unfinished work.
Soon after, Kana also came to look at the secret scroll sent from the Land of Demons.
Due to other delays, she couldn't see it immediately.
After carefully reading the contents of the secret scroll, while praising the classical thought of the Shinobi Sect, Fumori Masaki's figure in her eyes also grew taller and taller.
She felt that Fumori Masaki was a sage living in the present world.
After discussion, Kana went to summon the bookseller Yujin and asked him to help publish the Shinobi Sect classics compiled and summarized from the secret scroll.
This was different from the scriptures modified by the Shinobi Temple, but truly the original classics belonging to the Six Paths Sage!
The value within was ineffable, and Yujin immediately saw the business opportunity behind it.
One must know that a "Shinobi Sect fever" atmosphere had already formed in the capital at this time, which was inseparable from Kana's efforts, and the emergence of the original Shinobi Sect classics was destined to push this atmosphere further.
The reason why people no longer believed in the Shinobi Sect, apart from its decline, was also due to the interruption of its inheritance caused by wars, with only the words and deeds of its believers being passed down, becoming the current Shinobi Temple.
The reappearance of the original Shinobi Sect classics, along with the ideological theories annotated by Fumori Masaki in light of current circumstances, was very likely to resonate with people, thereby drawing them towards the Shinobi Sect.
Perhaps most people were merely so-called superficial believers, relying on the Shinobi Sect's philosophy to ensure their inner peace, but Fumori Masaki believed that there would always be some who could see the new ideas behind it.
Even if they weren't truly modern theories, but rather ones they had thought out themselves, that would still be a subversion of feudal tradition, and they would also become pioneers like Kana, promoting the ideological movement.
As more and more content from the secret scrolls decoded in the Land of Demons became available, not only the Shinobi Sect scriptures, but also the history of the mythological era began to be fully revealed.
Although it was only the personal life experience of the First Priestess, it undoubtedly held extremely significant value for the study of Shinobi Sect changes and history.
Yujin felt like he was going crazy.
The first edition of the Shinobi Sect classics alone caused a sensation in the capital.
The appeal of the original classics was immense, even impacting the Land of Fire.
The content annotated by Fumori Masaki and Kana also sparked widespread discussion among learned individuals; some expressed agreement and supported the interpretation, while others voiced dissent, leading to a debate between the two sides.
This was more than just a push; it was an explosion in the capital!
Demand from various channels made Yujin's bookstore unable to keep up with supply; it seemed he couldn't support such a task alone.
At this time, a message came from Fumori Masaki: Konoha Ninja Village officially decided to participate and assist in his commercial activities.
