Ron's creation of this unique summoning barrier was an innovation unlike any seen before. Similar in concept to Rashomon and Myojinmon, it functioned as a defensive structure that could be summoned when needed. However, what set it apart was its unique contractual system, which, rather than a traditional summoning contract, operated more like a subscription-based jutsu. Users who had access to the technique could summon the Barrier Poles at will, provided they maintained their contract with the village, as chakra metal ninja tools could not be sold to the ninjas.
Of course, Ron was only responsible for the initial creation, designing the foundation of the technique for his personal use mainly. Soon after, the engineers at the Hollow Mountain Research Center, along with specialists from the barrier and sealing department, took on the task of mass production, except for Ron creating the core technology of the seal-chakra-electronic processor, which no one could do. As the technique's potential became evident, the village elders overseeing strategic and administrative matters took charge of its distribution and management, ensuring that it became an integral part of Kumogakure's ninja's defensive capabilities, integrating it into their combat strategies.
Beyond this, previously another revolutionary change was introduced, the establishment of a comprehensive Ninjutsu Library. This library housed the entirety of the village's known ninjutsu, including sealing techniques, medical jutsu, elemental techniques, and various other fields of study, spanning from E-rank to S-rank. However, highly classified forbidden techniques and secret arts remained securely stored within the Raikage's building, accessible only to those with the highest clearance.
To regulate access, a new identification system was implemented for ninjas. Based on their rank and level of authority, each ninja was granted permission to study and learn jutsu appropriate to their status. In general, a ninja's rank dictated the level of ninjutsu they could access. However, contributions to the village provided opportunities to accelerate this process; those who accumulated enough merit could unlock higher-tier techniques beyond their current rank.
Furthermore, to encourage both hard work and innovation, a reward system was established. Missions not only granted financial rewards but also contributed towards a ninja's access to the library. While basic ninjutsu within each tier remained free, including the ability to choose a certain number of them upon achieving each ninja rank, more techniques required contribution points to redeem. Innovators were particularly incentivized, any ninja who successfully created a new jutsu would be granted access to two techniques of the same rank for free, along with a permanent 10% discount on contribution costs for that rank.
This system not only strengthened Kumogakure's collective knowledge but also fostered an environment where ninjas were driven to excel, innovate, and contribute to the village's growth, ensuring its continued dominance in the ninja world.
As previously mentioned, to regulate access and security across the village and beyond, a new identification system was implemented. For civilians, this system functioned purely as an electronic ID, designed and developed by the research department under Ron's guidance. However, for ninjas, the IDs were far more sophisticated: a fusion of electronic technology, sealing techniques, and chakra-based authentication of the chakra-seal-electronic devices/processors. Each ninja's ID contained a tiny amount of chakra metal, weighing less than a gram, allowing for seamless integration within the device.
With these identification changes, security in key locations was significantly enhanced. Large-scale businesses in the Land of Lightning, the Daimyo's office, and other critical sites were no longer solely reliant on ninja guards; they also incorporated electronic ID verification. In Kumogakure itself, this system was even more advanced. The new ninja IDs featured Ron's exclusive trifecta system, capable of identifying a person's chakra, spiritual signature, and embedded seal-based credentials running on a trifecta chip. Most secure locations in the village were equipped with specialized scanners that could verify identity instantaneously.
To ensure the large-scale deployment of these IDs, Ron personally manufactured multiple blanks of the core components using a manufacturing sealing array. The Raikage's office was responsible for embedding personalized information onto each ID, utilizing devices designed under Ron's specifications. While the system itself was structured with high-level user interfaces to allow researchers and administrative personnel to manage and create ID issuance and verification, the deeper workings of the core components remained strictly under Ron's control.
Much like how programmers in the real world can develop software using high-level programming languages without needing to understand the intricate design of microchips, the researchers in Kumogakure could operate the ID system and develop functionalities based on Ron's framework. However, the fundamental architecture of the seal-chakra-electronic core was something only Ron fully comprehended.
Even though the research teams at the Hollow Mountain facility had successfully developed computers under Ron's guidance and understood their principles, the integration of chakra, sealing techniques, and electronics operated on an entirely different level. The sealing components alone were complex enough that it would take the combined expertise of the entire Uzumaki Clan to fully decrypt or understand them. When combined with chakra technology and electronic mechanisms, the resulting trifecta system reached an unprecedented level of intricacy, one that no single department or individual, aside from Ron himself, could fully grasp.
This innovation not only fortified Kumogakure's security infrastructure but also positioned it at the forefront of technological advancement, blending ancient sealing arts with modern engineering to create a new era of ninja identification and security.
The library's system operated on an advanced sealing network that allowed for the automatic updating of scrolls. At its core, a master scroll functioned as the central database, linked to the library's sealing array. Librarians assigned by the village were responsible for transcribing new content into physical scrolls using seals which meant they did not need to look at it and ensure that the latest knowledge was always available for ninjas to study. This system functioned within the village's specialized sealing array, which acted as a wireless transmitter, enabling data synchronization between scrolls.
Whenever Ron added a new jutsu to his personal scroll, it was automatically updated in the library's master scroll. However, this synchronization was limited within Kumogakure's sealing array, ensuring that classified knowledge remained protected from external interference, and it wasn't possible to do so without the village array.
Beyond the village library, other key institutions also maintained their own master scrolls. The Hollow Mountain Research Institute, for example, had its own dedicated scroll where all research findings and technological advancements were recorded. Occasionally, verified knowledge and confirmed developments from the institute were pushed to the library, integrating cutting-edge discoveries into the village's collective knowledge.
The Raikage's office similarly utilized this system, with its master scroll linked to various public announcement boards throughout the village. This allowed for real-time updates, if, for instance, the Raikage's office decided to temporarily close a training ground, the announcement could be transmitted directly to both general notice boards and the specific board at the training ground itself.
Despite these advancements in sealing-based information management, the technological landscape of Kumogakure was still in a transitional phase. While the Hollow Mountain Research Institute had developed computational devices capable of performing complex calculations and regulating research equipment, these were not modern computers in the sense that Ron remembered from his past life. The village had yet to establish an internet system or even basic telecommunications like phones. Instead, radio waves were utilized for covert communication between agents, while media technologies such as DVDs, cameras, and old-school media players had been developed for documentation and intelligence purposes.
This fusion of sealing techniques, chakra, and technological innovation was Ron's unique creation. Despite his capability to develop immensely advanced technology or seals, he deliberately restrained himself from introducing changes too drastic for the village to comprehend. If he pushed advancements too far, the resulting upheaval could disrupt the natural/gradual progression of Kumogakure's development.
While the seamless integration of all three disciplines sealing, chakra, and technology, remained exclusive to Ron, his approach did not revolutionize each field individually by so much that it left everyone behind making the village completely dependent on Ron solely. Instead, it provided a stable foundation for security and progressive development within the village. His goal was not to redefine the essence of ninjutsu or technology but to enhance their coexistence, ensuring that both traditional ninja arts and emerging sciences could thrive together.
Thus, Kumogakure stood at the crossroads of ancient ninja methodologies and cutting-edge advancements, steadily transforming into a formidable hub where old and new knowledge converged to strengthen the village's security and future.
