Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 135 Changes in Status at the Second Clan Meeting

The following evening.

Uchiha clan territory, Naga Shrine.

This month's clan meeting was moved up a few days because of tomorrow's Jonin Tournament.

For Gen Uchiha, this clan gathering was different in two ways.

Firstly, the clan head, Uchiha Hisasu, was seriously injured and bedridden, unable to preside over the clan meeting as he had in the past, so the eldest elder, Uchiha Gen, took over the responsibility.

Secondly, there's himself.

Although more than a year has passed since he awakened his Sharingan, he has spent more than 90% of that time in the Land of Rain.

Therefore, he only attended the family's clan gatherings twice.

More than a year ago, when he first attended the clan meeting, he was just a genin who had just awakened his single-tomoe Sharingan. After parting ways with the elder, he could only sit in the last row near the door.

Now, he possesses the three-tomoe Sharingan and has been promoted to Jonin, instantly securing a very prominent position.

Those seated above him were only the elders and a few veteran Uchiha Jonin who held important positions in the police department.

The other three-tomoe Uchiha were at most on par with him.

In the Uchiha clan, only those who have awakened the Sharingan are considered elites. The more tomoe they have, the stronger they are, and the higher their status.

Uchiha Gen now possesses the three-tomoe Sharingan and has earned an astonishing record in the past year or so on the battlefield, making him fully qualified to match his current status.

"The clan originally had thirty-five Jonin, and I was the thirty-sixth. Excluding the seriously injured clan leader and the elderly elder, there were thirty-four of us."

When Gen Uchiha first learned that his clan had more than thirty Jonin, it was a terrifying concept. But after his experience on the battlefield in the Land of Rain, he now has a clearer understanding of that number.

Throughout the entire battlefield of the Land of Rain, the total number of Jonin-level fighters on the Konoha side was only around thirty.

It can be said that the Uchiha clan alone, as the core backbone, is enough to support a large-scale war.

Even though their top-tier combat strength may not rival that of the Warring States period, their overall power still lives up to their reputation as the number one clan in the ninja world.

The clan meeting proceeded slowly and steadily.

Even though the clan head, Uchiha Hisasu, was not present, the clan's rules remained unchanged.

The information includes recent developments within the clan, the number of newborns, the number of deaths, changes in the ninja ranks of elite ninjas, the awakening and evolution of the Sharingan, the economic revenue of the clan's businesses, and the monthly subsidies for ninjas of various ranks.

A Jonin with the Sharingan and three tomoe like Uchiha Gen would receive tens of thousands of ryo per month, equivalent to the reward for leading a team on a standard B-rank mission. Normally, the reward for a B-rank mission would not exceed 150,000 ryo, and this is the total reward, which would then be divided among teammates after the mission was completed and the rewards were distributed.

It may not seem like much, but over a year it adds up to several hundred thousand taels, equivalent to the income of a Chunin who works hard on a mission for a whole year.

This subsidy is for his entire life; even if he loses an arm or a leg and is no longer able to perform missions, this income will still exist.

As long as his family exists, he will always have a safety net for the rest of his life.

Other ninja clans have similar talent policies to varying degrees, but only a few powerful clans, such as the Hyuga, can match the Uchiha clan in terms of subsidy amounts.

Time passed slowly, and the clan meeting's agenda came to its final stage.

That is, how should the Uchiha clan participate in the Jonin Tournament that will be held tomorrow?

"This Jonin Conference should just be a summary of the recent war, and arrangements will be made for various departments within the village to make adjustments based on the subsequent war situation."

Then we'll stick to the old practice. As long as we ensure that the family's war merits and compensation are properly assessed, there's no need to get involved in other matters.

This battle is not being fought in the name of the police department, and there are no extra benefits to be gained. We only need to ensure that the family and every member of the clan receive what they are entitled to.

The Third Elder, Uchiha Kai, sat cross-legged in front, facing all the clan members, and summarized.

Beside him, the Second Elder, Uchiha Yu, had no objections and nodded calmly.

With the clan chief absent, he was the one who oversaw all affairs of the police department, but this time the battle was not fought in the name of the police department.

Although the police department wields considerable power, its authority is confined to Konoha Village, and there are no benefits they can gain from this Jonin Tournament.

At least that's how they see it.

The elder slowly turned his gaze to Uchiha Gen, who was sitting in the first row, and nodded slightly.

The latter nodded slightly and immediately stood up.

"It's not that there aren't other things we can't strive for."

As soon as Uchiha Gen opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

He was actually quite dazzling at tonight's clan gathering; he couldn't possibly keep a low profile.

He not only awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, but was also the youngest Jonin in Konoha's history, and his battlefield achievements were also highlighted. He perfectly met the clan's standard of "restoring the clan's glory," making it difficult for him not to receive special attention.

"Yuan, is there anything you'd like to add?"

The Second Elder looked at Uchiha Gen and said.

Facing the gazes of more than two hundred clansmen, the latter said, "If you have paid attention to the battlefield in the Land of Rain, you should know that what Tsunade and I did there was not only to participate in the front-line battles, but also to save many people in the medical zone established by Tsunade, which to a considerable extent rewrote the battlefield landscape of the Land of Rain."

Therefore, at this Jonin Conference, Tsunade will formally propose the establishment of a professional medical department to train medical ninjas on a large scale and have them participate in future ninja missions, reducing casualties and improving the sustained combat capabilities of these important teams.

"You mean, families can also get involved in this medical department? Is that feasible?"

If this arrangement is established, what position will the family occupy within it?

The Second Elder asked again.

"Even though we are currently at war and the village doesn't have the resources to push for the establishment of this department, it will be established sooner or later. The third generation is not so muddleheaded as to not see the significance of this matter. At most, it will be delayed due to the war."

The birth of medical ninjas will be a pivotal event that will reshape the landscape of future ninja wars, far more significant than the creation of puppeteers by the Second Kazekage of Sunagakure and Monzaemon.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Medical Department, once established, will be a first-level department on par with major departments such as the Police Department and the Dark Bureau.

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder and the Third Elder fell into deep thought.

The Uchiha below also started discussing among themselves.

A department that is almost destined to be established in the future, with a status comparable to the police department!

This represents a brand new, large cake that is still waiting to be distributed.
