Konoha: Make the Uchiha Great Again

Chapter 71 Setting the Tone
After the identity of the clan leader was officially confirmed, the clan members who participated in the early morning clan meeting left quietly.

However, Hanehara, Shisui, Uchiha Mune and Uchiha Chitake stayed, and even Uchiha Fugaku who had originally planned to leave was kept.

Yuhara becoming the clan leader marks the end of a stage, but they still have a lot of follow-up matters to deal with.

For example, after their discussion, Uchiha Taketoshi and Uchiha Soichi both agreed that the family needed a celebration to boost morale.

Yuhara did not object to this point. The family really needed to boost morale to face the next challenges.

"Will it be held tomorrow? Is it in time? Besides, we haven't informed Konoha yet, and the issue with the security department hasn't been dealt with yet, right?"

Yuyuan's head was full of question marks, and he really felt a little anxious.

"That's right, Chief Hahara."

As the former clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku spoke on behalf of the Uchiha clan.

"Since you became the head of the Uchiha clan, you naturally inherited the position of Minister of the Guards.

Even if I need to prepare relevant resignation materials for the Security Department when I leave, it is just a formality, and I will just inform Konoha afterwards."

After hearing this explanation, Yuhara couldn't help but nodded. Wow, he really treats the Security Department as his own home.

Although according to Yuhara's understanding of the neighboring island country in his previous life, this kind of thing is actually very normal, but Yuhara is still somewhat uncomfortable with it.

Moreover, it was impossible for him to reform the Guard Department according to the previous practices. Yuhara believed that Uchiha Mune and Uchiha Taketoshi were well aware of this.

It is conceivable that after Yuhara takes over the Security Department, he will inevitably make relevant adjustments to certain people and positions within it.

Thinking of this, Yuhara couldn't help but touch his chin, and he began to think about how to deal with some things in the future.

After he became the clan leader, his top priority was naturally the relationship between the Hokage family and the Uchiha clan!
Hokage is the Hokage of Konoha, but Konoha is not the Hokage's Konoha. This is a very important point that needs to be made clear.

Konoha is made up of ninja families of all sizes, as well as tens of thousands of civilian ninjas. Yuhara is well aware that the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the current Hokage system is too deep.

Moreover, after experiencing the last encounter with Nara Kotonoha and the story in the original work, Yuhara realized that there are quite a few families that are dissatisfied with the current Hokage system.

Now that I have become the clan leader, I need to do something to repay the Nara clan's kindness last time.

What's more, Yuhara had already determined the future development direction of the Guard Department. Doesn't the Hokage want Uchiha to take the blame for the Guard Department?

And are they secretly controlling public opinion to discredit themselves? Then I will just let the guard department loosen up and allow all the ninjas in the village to be eligible to come in.

Under such circumstances, Yuhara doesn't believe that those in the Naruto faction would dare to continue to slander them!

"Okay, let's hold the celebration tomorrow while ensuring safety."

Thinking of this, Yuhara had already made up his mind. After organizing his words, he spoke directly.

"But we will be busy in the next period of time. Two elders, after the celebration is over, please select a few families. Shisui and I will go visit their clan leaders."

"Visit. Their clan leader?"

Yuhara's words made Uchiha Mune and Uchiha Fugaku look strange, while Uchiha Taketoshi looked a little ugly.

"Master, you are the head of the Uchiha clan." Uchiha Taketoshi immediately advised: "It seems a bit damaging to visit other clan leaders..."

"Elder Zhuzhi, I understand what you mean."

Yuhara interrupted Uchiha Taketoshi before he could finish his words, but he still behaved very politely.

"But Elder Taketoshi, I think Elder Zong should have told you about my plans for the future of the Uchiha clan, especially the security department."

"I know, I heard from the elders of the clan." Uchiha Taketoshi nodded. He certainly knew about this. Uchiha Fugaku was a little curious. He really didn't know these things, but he was no longer the clan leader.

Technically he wasn't even supposed to be here, so it was best for him to remain silent.

“Since Elder Zhuzhi knows this, he should also be aware that we need to unite with others.

And didn’t I say that many of Konoha’s big families are not so satisfied with our Third Hokage because of the Hyuga clan’s affairs?”

Yuhara smiled gently, his eyes involuntarily looked at Uchiha Fugaku. Of course he knew that Uchiha Fugaku was listening here.

However, he didn't care that what he said was heard by Uchiha Fugaku, because what he said was not a secret at all.

In addition, Yuhara also hopes that Uchiha Fugaku, the owner of the Mangekyo, can truly calm down and help him.

Therefore, telling him things that are not secret but not completely public can be considered a way of showing trust.

In fact, Yuhara didn't want to be so cautious. After all, Uchiha Fugaku's previous performance really moved him.

But this guy’s son is Uchiha Itachi, and he also has a dark history in the original work.

Although Yuhara knew that he had no contact with Uchiha Itachi in the past month, Uchiha Itachi had already met the Third Hokage and might even have met Danzo.

The most important thing is that Uchiha Itachi also has the Mangekyō, and who knows what his next move will be, so Yuhara really has to be careful.

Although Yuhara was confident that Uchiha Fugaku would not stab him in the back, this was analyzed based on his previous performance.

But in the original work, this guy finally saw Konoha letting Uchiha Itachi take action, and then saw the future presented by Uchiha Itachi's illusion.

He actually just waited for death in a fit of anger. This behavior of not even resisting was really worrying.

God knows that it was because when he saw that the person who did it was Uchiha Itachi, his fatherly love burst out.

Or maybe he felt his own dereliction of duty and failure and simply decided to die with his entire clan.

If it was the first one, Yuhara would really have to be on guard.

If it was the second one, then Yuhara could trust him completely after confirming some things.

If he has no opinion of his own, then just guide him to do what he should do. After all, he is not the patriarch anymore.

"You mean, you took the opportunity of visiting them to pass on some necessary information?"

Uchiha Taketoshi has been in the family system for so long, and although he has overlooked many things due to his extreme personality, it does not mean that he cannot understand.

"If that's the case, then it's really necessary to pay them a good visit to convey our goodwill."

"That's settled then. The task of drawing up the list will be left to you two."

Yuhara made the final decision right away, and Shisui nodded seriously, obviously he had no objection.

"Everyone, I need to emphasize that if the family wants to change, there are some things we must do. Otherwise, what is the point of me being the patriarch?
Besides that, security cannot be relaxed at all. Don’t forget that our current situation is really not very good.”

"Yes, Mr. Patriarch!"

Including Uchiha Fugaku, everyone present responded loudly, then they stood up and chose to leave.

Yuhara also stood up, but he did not choose to leave for the time being, not because he had anything else to do.

It was because the system in Yuhara's retina that forcibly bound him to his family had changed again.
