From Shisui's current perspective, it was impossible not to grasp the deeper meaning behind this move.
The distribution of identity cards was not a simple administrative reform—it was a way to gather scattered hearts together. More importantly, it would become a crucial cornerstone for Umbrella's future transformation into a true nation.
At present, many people still viewed Umbrella as a multinational organization.
They remained citizens of their respective countries while simultaneously being members of Umbrella.
And there was no contradiction in that.
Joining an organization did not mean abandoning one's homeland—just as joining a company did not mean renouncing one's nationality.
However, once identity cards were introduced, everything would subtly change.
Those who possessed them would, consciously or unconsciously, begin to recognize themselves as part of a larger collective. Over time, that sense of belonging would take root in their hearts.
And that was exactly what Umbrella needed.
This would lay the groundwork for the future—because Naruto had long stated that if war was ever to truly end, if lasting peace was ever to be achieved, then the entire shinobi world would have to be unified.
"Very good. Since you understand, go ahead and implement it," Naruto said calmly to Shisui.
"I may be entering seclusion during this period."
"Seclusion?" Shisui froze. His body involuntarily rose from his seat.
"Are you… about to reach that level?!"
"Something like that," Naruto replied evenly. "I can feel it. We don't have much time left. At most one or two months. The real war is about to begin."
His tone was calm—but Shisui couldn't remain calm at all.
"Certain people won't just sit back and watch us continue to grow stronger," Naruto continued. "Be prepared, Shisui."
With that, Naruto raised his hand in dismissal.
Shisui slowly exited the room, deep in thought. After a long moment, his eyes sharpened, as though he had made up his mind. He straightened his posture and strode away with renewed resolve.
At sunrise, inside the conference room, Shisui convened a meeting and relayed Naruto's instructions in full.
"Identity cards?" Zabuza's eyes lit up in surprise. "That's a good idea."
To be honest, this issue had been troubling him for quite some time.
Killing was something he excelled at—but administration was another matter entirely.
Previously, he had only managed shinobi, and he could more or less copy the Hidden Village system. But now, Umbrella had civilians to consider—livelihoods, logistics, infrastructure—far beyond simple military command.
On top of that, tasks were chaotic. One person often had to handle multiple roles.
Unlike Naruto, who only needed to oversee the overall direction, others were constantly buried in details.
Even the Nara clan members sent from Konoha were far from sufficient.
Their talent for management was unquestionable—but when their numbers were spread across the entire shinobi world, they became exceedingly scarce.
As for newly cultivated talents, most were combat-oriented, followed by scientific specialists. Though some civilians had been promoted into administrative roles, finding individuals who truly aligned with Umbrella's ideology was still extremely difficult.
In Naruto's view, the original ruling class of the shinobi world was stuck in a feudal mindset—steeped in aristocratic values and utterly incompatible with Umbrella's direction.
Those who genuinely served the people did exist—but they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
"Don't we already have small bases scattered across the shinobi world?" Shisui said calmly.
"We'll start with them. The first batch will come from within Umbrella itself."
As he spoke, Shisui opened a drawer beneath the table and took out a stack of cards. He handed them to his assistant and instructed him to distribute them.
One by one, everyone received an identity card.
They lowered their heads, examining them carefully—curiosity evident on their faces.
Zabuza lowered his gaze to the identity card in his hand.
His own portrait was printed clearly on its surface, alongside neatly arranged lines of information:
Name: Zabuza Momochi
Identity: Combat Department Captain (holding multiple positions)
Honors: 21 S-rank missions… combat achievements…
Hometown: Hidden Mist Village, Water Capital
Strength Level: Seven Stars
Points: 36,520,000
Several of the cards distributed among the group were even made of gold.
A ripple of amazement spread through the room.
The Land of Water was no longer referred to by its old name—it had been officially renamed the Water Capital.
"This identity card is extremely important," Shisui said calmly. "It represents who you are within Umbrella. You can also use it to access your personal data—like this."
He inserted his own card into a small machine beside the table.
The screen flickered, and Shisui's information instantly appeared.
Name: Uchiha Shisui
Identity: Umbrella Organization – Grand Prime Minister
Honors: Co-founder of Umbrella Organization, establishment of educational institutions, 42 S-rank missions, numerous A-rank missions, major organizational contributions…
Strength Level: Ten Stars
Points: 123,500,000
An overwhelming amount of data filled the screen.
The numbers alone were enough to leave everyone speechless.
Zabuza sucked in a sharp breath.
"Hiss… Shisui, you've actually completed that many S-rank missions? And when did you even manage to do all this?"
The room fell silent as everyone stared at the display.
Even Tsunade couldn't hide her surprise.
"You've really done all of that?"
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, a rare hint of astonishment flickering across his face.
At present, both Orochimaru and Tsunade were high-ranking members of Umbrella, having joined recently.
As for Jiraiya—another of the Sannin—he had gone off somewhere to "gather inspiration," even traveling by airplane.
Shisui scratched his cheek, smiling faintly, pride evident in his expression.
"The organization was founded by Naruto and me. Back then, Umbrella was dirt poor. That was the hardest period of my life."
During that time, Naruto had remained in Konoha, which meant nearly all of Umbrella's early burden fell on Shisui's shoulders.
The workload had been unimaginable—and the danger even more so.
He was, in every sense, a pioneer.
Now, his prestige within Umbrella was second only to Naruto himself.
"Shisui," Yu muttered quietly, leaning toward Zabuza, "you've got so many points. Transfer some to me, will you? The internal mall just released a new land-sea-air vehicle, and I've been eyeing it for ages."
Unfortunately for him, everyone present was an expert.
The whisper did not go unheard.
Ignoring Yu's embarrassment, Orochimaru calmly stepped forward and inserted his own identity card into the machine.
The screen refreshed.
Name: Orochimaru
Identity: Advanced Scientific Researcher
Honors: Experimental project breakthrough… experimental project breakthrough…
Strength Level: Eight Stars
Points: 35,000,000
Compared to Shisui's profile, Orochimaru's data appeared far simpler.
Most of his recorded achievements revolved around experimental breakthroughs—which no one found surprising, given that he had joined Umbrella later.
What truly shocked them, however, was the gap in strength ratings between Orochimaru and Shisui—and the sheer number of points Orochimaru possessed.
Within Umbrella, points were an extremely valuable resource.
Even high-ranking members had to earn them.
The fact that Orochimaru had accumulated such an amount in such a short time left everyone stunned.
Curiosity spread quickly, and one by one, people began checking their own data.
"Oh come on… why do I have so few?!" Yu nearly burst into tears.
He was an old member of the organization—yet his points barely exceeded ten million.
Zabuza had over twenty million.
Tsunade had twenty-five million.
The disparity was painfully clear.
Even Orochimaru seemed slightly surprised by his own total, which only highlighted one thing—
Naruto was exceptionally generous toward scientific researchers.
As for Tsunade, she still had responsibilities in Konoha to attend to. After all, Konoha had not fully integrated into Umbrella yet. Their relationship was closer to that of strategic partners.
Orochimaru, on the other hand, was different.
For the sake of truth and knowledge, he had almost entirely immersed himself in the laboratory—naturally earning far greater contributions in the process.
