Setsuna, flanked by the Hokage, Uchiha Patriarch, Senju Elder, and Uchiha Elder, stood at the forefront of a pivotal meeting within the walls of Konoha. The topic at hand was the restructuring of the ninja education system and the introduction of a new class system.

"I propose the establishment of a structured class system for our ninja ranks—Genin, Chunin, Jonin, and Anbu," Setsuna declared, his gaze shifting between the esteemed figures present.

Hokage, acknowledging the proposal, inquired, "What does each rank entail, Setsuna?"

Setsuna elucidated, "Genin will serve as the initial rank, followed by Chunin, Jonin, and ultimately, Anbu—a tier representing the pinnacle of our village's strength."

Uchiha Patriarch, showing interest, asked, "And how do you plan to refine the skills of our young ones?"

Setsuna revealed his vision for the academy, stating, "The academy will be divided into three stages. At ages 6-8, our young ones will refine their chakra control, learn basic ninjutsu, and foster relationships among clan members. From 9 to 11 years old, they'll delve into history, taijutsu, advanced ninjutsu, and genjutsu."

Uchiha Elder, intrigued, sought clarification, "What about the final stage, Setsuna?"

"From ages 12 to 14, they will enter the 'half-step ninja' stage," Setsuna explained. "During this time, they'll engage in simple tasks—D missions such as finding missing cats, capturing fish, or making deliveries. They will be paid according to the tasks, and Chunin will lead these teams, teaching and guiding them until they graduate."

Senju Elder, nodding in approval, remarked, "This system could provide a well-rounded foundation for our young ninja."

Setsuna continued, "Upon becoming Genin, they will form teams—each comprising a medical ninja and two fighter ninjas. Every team must have a medical ninja to ensure a balance of skills and capabilities."

The Hokage, reflecting on the proposal, addressed Setsuna, "Your vision could shape the future of our village. Let us work together to implement these changes and forge a new era for Konoha."

As the dialogue unfolded, Setsuna's proposal paved the way for a structured and comprehensive system that aimed to nurture the next generation of ninja within Konoha. The collaboration between clans, guided by Setsuna's strategic insights, held the promise of a brighter future for the village and its young aspirants.

Setsuna, having outlined the structure of the classes, delved into the specifics of the Chunin and Jonin ranks, providing a comprehensive understanding of their roles and responsibilities.

"For those aspiring to become Chunin, an exam will be the gateway," Setsuna explained, his tone carrying the weight of the expectations he had for the village's young talents. "Chunin must possess not only advanced skills but also a strategic mind capable of leading a team. They will be tasked with assignments such as escorting villagers from bandit threats. Should a team comprise more than five Chunin, they can undertake missions of B level."

As the audience absorbed the information, Setsuna continued, "Jonin, being seasoned and experienced, have the capability to perform B-level missions solo. With a team, they can engage in either A-level or S-rank missions, depending on the circumstances."

He then proceeded to elucidate the types of missions within the newly proposed system:

"D-rank missions are suitable for genin fresh from the Academy or half-step ninja. These missions pose almost no risk to the ninja's life and typically involve odd jobs like farming or babysitting. The reward for a D-rank mission ranges between 5,000 and 50,000 ryō."

"C-rank missions, assigned to more experienced genin or Chunin, involve minimal combat risk against other ninja. Examples include guarding people against bandits, background investigations, and capturing or suppressing wild animals. The reward for a C-rank mission is between 30,000 and 100,000 ryō."

"B-rank missions, tailored for experienced Chunin, anticipate combat with other ninja. Tasks may include guarding people, espionage, or eliminating other ninja. The reward for a B-rank mission is between 80,000 and 200,000 ryō."

"A-rank missions fall under the jurisdiction of Jonin and involve village- or state-level matters. Examples are guarding VIPs or suppressing ninja forces. The reward for an A-rank mission ranges from 150,000 to 1,000,000 ryō."

"S-rank missions, reserved for experienced Jonin, concern state-level confidential matters. Examples include assassinating VIPs or transporting highly classified documents. The reward for an S-rank mission is a minimum of 1,000,000 ryō."

As Setsuna concluded the detailed explanation, the room buzzed with a sense of anticipation. The structure he proposed not only outlined a clear path for the growth of ninja but also established a framework for their progression and contribution to the village's prosperity.

Setsuna, addressing the attentive gathering, delved into the intricacies of the Anbu, a secretive and elite force within the proposed system.

"Membership in the Anbu is exclusively reserved for Jonin," Setsuna clarified, emphasizing the need for seasoned and highly skilled individuals to undertake the sensitive and covert missions assigned to this special unit.

He continued, "Anbu operatives will wear a full mask, concealing their hair and face completely. This anonymity is crucial for their role in missions, especially those involving assassination and other clandestine activities."

Setsuna then shed light on an important aspect, stating, "Becoming an Anbu is a choice for Jonin. They can choose to reject this path without being marked as a betrayer. The Anbu life is demanding, and we respect the decision of those who opt for a different journey."

He further explained, "Additionally, any mission issued to a Jonin, whether it's for the Anbu or otherwise, can be rejected. However, it must be accompanied by a clear reason. For instance, if a Jonin deems their strength insufficient for a particular mission, they can reject it without facing repercussions."

The room absorbed this information, recognizing the delicate balance required in handling Anbu affairs and the autonomy afforded to Jonin in their decision-making processes. As Setsuna concluded this segment of the discussion, the implications of an elite and mysterious force within Konoha became apparent, promising both strength and discretion in the village's arsenal.
