Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 135 Obtaining the Kaleidoscope (Please Subscribe)

When Uchiha Yang returned, Mikoto was kneeling at the door to greet him. Although the lights were off, Uchiha Yang saw a beautiful woman with a graceful figure kneeling at the door as soon as he entered.

"Yang Yi-kun, you're back."

"It's over. Tomorrow I'll be busy with the clan chief's affairs. The thing you were worried about didn't happen."

Uchiha Yoichi immediately swept Mikoto into a princess carry and held the beautiful woman in his arms, saying, "Although Uchiha Yoichi really wanted to kill Uchiha Fugaku during the fight, it wasn't the right opportunity."

So Uchiha Masato took a look at the person, and even though Susanoo's attack was blocked, Uchiha Fugaku was still seriously injured.

It will take at least a few days of treatment.

Upon hearing this news, Mikoto Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that if she spoke up for Fugaku Uchiha, it would make her seem like she hadn't made a clean break; however, Mikoto wasn't thinking of Fugaku, but rather of Itachi.

With his parents divorced, and his father dying, it would be a huge blow to Itachi. Mikoto felt that she was no longer a good mother and didn't want Itachi to be hurt again.

However, upon hearing the news that Uchiha Fugaku was not dead, Mikoto finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then leaned against Uchiha Yoichi's chest, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, suppressing her shyness, "Yoichi-kun, let Mikoto serve you tonight."

"Hmm? But didn't you say you were going to rest yesterday? Did you rest well, Mikoto?"

"Yang Yi-jun, you'll find out soon enough."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi stopped asking questions and carried Mikoto upstairs.

Yugito, who was not fully asleep on the first floor, heard the noise outside, curled her lips in disgust, and then reached out to grab the earplugs on the table.

However, she stopped halfway through reaching out, remembering the sounds she had heard a few days ago, and Yukito couldn't help but rub her legs together.

"These earplugs are completely useless."

After picking up the earplugs, Yukito blushed slightly as she put them in the drawer, then turned and lay down on the bed, covering herself with the blanket.

However, the blanket didn't cover his head; his two little ears were sticking out, and every now and then they would twitch like a kitten.

--------------

The following day, Uchiha Yoichi struggled to his feet from his slumber. At that moment, he suddenly realized that being the clan leader wasn't all that great. The responsibility for the entire clan of over a thousand people now rested on his shoulders.

However, Uchiha Yoichi still got up, got dressed, gave Mikoto a good morning kiss, and left the house; Mikoto would probably sleep for a long time today, as yesterday's battle was quite intense.

If it weren't for Uchiha Yoichi's extraordinary physique, possessing both Godzilla's ability to heal from injuries and the capacity to absorb natural energy—a near-natural Sage Mode physique—he would have had a hard time continuously activating such a massive Susanoo.

"Chieftain!"

"Clan Chief Yang!"

Good morning, Chieftain.

Good morning, clan leader.

In just one night, Fugaku Uchiha's status as clan leader became history. Now, when Yoichi Uchiha walks through the clan, everyone he passes by calls him clan leader.

It seems that the ninja who attended the clan gathering last night told their families about this.

After greeting the clansmen he met on the way, Uchiha Yoichi arrived at the secret chamber of the main hall of the Naka Shrine, where quite a few people had already arrived.

Not long after Uchiha Yangyi arrived, more people came one after another. Apart from those who were on missions outside, all the clan members at the level of the security team captain came.

"Everyone, I've called you here today to continue yesterday's clan meeting. The main reason is to share my ideals and plans with all clan members. It's very simple: to make the Uchiha clan the strongest in the ninja world!"

Uchiha Yoichi sat in the main seat, with all the clan members from squad leader to platoon leader below him.

"This ideal is both difficult and simple. I already have a plan and have been working hard to implement it; establishing a welfare system for the Uchiha clan so that all members will no longer have to worry about making a living is the first step."

"It's not advisable to make major moves during wartime, but I can tell you that my next plan is to reform the security force; the Uchiha shouldn't be confined to a small security force. Our Uchiha can be found anywhere, in any position."

However, the guard force must be maintained, otherwise insufficient manpower will lead to dereliction of duty. Therefore, I plan to include foreign ninjas in the guard force; you can also recommend trusted friends, but that will have to wait until after the war.”

A security force captain suddenly raised his hand, and then, at Uchiha Yoichi's prompting, spoke up: "Clan leader, are we going to abandon the Uchiha security force?"

"The security force is still under the leadership of the Uchiha, but it's difficult for the Uchiha to become the number one ninja in the ninja world with just the ninjas in the clan. The Uchiha welfare system is designed to enable more clan members to become ninjas or to produce more next-generation members, Arashi-kun."

Uchiha Yoichi said that the result is the same, but by changing the content of the words, the clansmen can have a different understanding.

The fact that the Uchiha clan is still in charge of the security force remains unchanged, but they are currently short of manpower. If they cannot produce more offspring for the clan or train more ninjas, then the policy of absorbing outsiders will not change.

The peaceful members of the clan had no objection to this. Although the hardliners were unwilling to let outsiders interfere with the Uchiha's exclusive security force, they had no choice but to comply since their leader, Uchiha Yoichi, had spoken up.

There wasn't much to say in the morning. Aside from announcing the clan leader's identity, I talked about future plans. Also, the Uchiha's business is growing, so we'll definitely need more people to help.

The Impure World Reincarnation is only for protection, but there are many things in business that definitely cannot be handled by the Impure World Body.

"Chieftain, do you need to move to a different place?"

Uchiha Masato suddenly spoke up and asked, "Your residence is on the very edge of the clan compound. You need to move to the center of the compound so that it will be easier for you to travel to and from the security team."

That place is almost outside the clan's territory.

"No need, I'm quite comfortable there. Just give me a spare office in the garrison building."

Uchiha Yangyi shook his head and said that his place was quite nice, spacious and sparsely populated, and he would hardly be disturbed. He planned to go to Ryuchi Cave to learn the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique and open a passage between his house and the house where Lady Mikoto was currently living.

That way, Misaka won't have to sneak over every day.

After the clan meeting, Uchiha Yoichi went to the Hokage Building and told Hiruzen Sarutobi that Uchiha Fugaku could no longer serve as captain due to health reasons, and that he would be the new captain of the security force.

Hiruzen Sarutobi simply smiled and nodded, indicating that he already knew about it; then he mentioned that some commoners wanted to ask about their husbands, and then said nothing more.

Uchiha Yoichi knew who Sarutobi Hiruzen was referring to—nothing more than those foul-mouthed commoners. He then said he understood and left the Hokage Building.

Dealing with foul-mouthed civilians is easy. After returning to the village, Uchiha Yang built a notice board in the center of the village where there were the most people.

The notices posted on the document included the security team's future plans and warnings, as well as penalty notices with the reasons stated.

If Uchiha Yoichi had gone too far, he could have even posted photos of those two civilians, because they were being punished for defaming heroes fighting on the front lines.

This would definitely lead to social ruin for both families. With everyone following the crowd, moving out of Konoha would be the best option for the whole family. If things get worse, they might hang themselves amidst the constant gossip and criticism from all the villagers.

Although the security force is under the Hokage's jurisdiction, it has a high degree of autonomy and can manage everyone except the Hokage and the Anbu.

The police force even has the power to set village rules, and after setting the rules, they can arrest people, truly acting as both a referee and a football player.

After returning to the police force, Uchiha Yoichi began to try to handle the affairs of the police force. Although there were many things to do, none of them were too difficult.

Planning patrol missions, deciding on penalties and sentencing—in short, many small matters—were all ultimately handed over to the garrison captain.

After sitting in the police force office for a while, Uchiha Yoichi felt that the police force needed to be reformed. Why was it still using the old methods that the police force had originally established twenty or thirty years ago?

Back then, the village had fewer people, and the guards didn't have as many problems, so it didn't matter if it was ruled by men; but now that there are more and more people in Konoha, it would be too foolish to hand over everyone to him, the captain of the guards.

A complete set of punishment regulations must be established, specifying the amount of money to be fined and the number of days to be imprisoned for each offense. With sentencing standards in place, subordinates can then make their own decisions.

Moreover, with the punishment regulations in place, law enforcement has become clearer, preventing the ignorant villagers from accusing the Uchiha of arbitrary law enforcement.

Uchiha Yoichi planned to summon all four squad leaders and then have them formulate a reasonable set of punishment standards.

However, before Uchiha Yoichi could call for help, Uchiha Masato came looking for him first.

"Clan leader, something terrible has happened! Fugaku Uchiha has gone missing!"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi frowned slightly and immediately asked, "What happened, Masato-senpai? It will take at least two or three days for Uchiha Fugaku to recover. Do you think someone took him away?"

"The two clansmen I sent to look after Fugaku Uchiha showed signs of being affected by Sharingan genjutsu. When I went to check on them just now, I discovered that Fugaku Uchiha was missing, and the two clansmen were still unconscious."

Uchiha Masato said that as for who did it, they already have a clue.

He can hypnotize two members of his clan with two-tomoe Sharingan; there are only a few in the clan who can do that.

"Senior Masato, I'm leaving these matters to you. I'm going out for a bit."

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he prepared to walk outside, but as he reached the door, Uchiha Masato called out, "Clan Head."

"What is it?"

"It's nothing, I'll handle things here."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Masato-senpai."

Then, Uchiha Masato sighed. He had just remembered his father's decision to relinquish power the night before and realized that Uchiha Yoichi was no longer the junior he had been before, but was now the head of the Uchiha clan.

He'd better not offer any advice now; Uchiha Yoichi is a very opinionated person, and that was his father's advice to him yesterday.

After leaving the police force, Uchiha Yoichi quickly arrived at Uchiha Yatsuho's house.

After knocking, it wasn't long before Uchiha Yatsuhoku opened the door, but he wasn't surprised at all when he saw him: "Clan Head!"

"You should know why I came to find you, Yashiro-san."

Uchiha Yang said expressionlessly, his eyes now displaying three tomoe that were slowly rotating.

"Shall we go inside to talk, or stay here?"

Uchiha Yatsuho stepped aside and said, "Clan leader, please come in."

After glancing at him, Uchiha Yangyi walked directly into the house. However, once inside, he saw two people coming out: one was a junior he had met before, Uchiha Shisui, and the other was Uchiha Fugaku's son, Uchiha Itachi.

"Chieftain."

When Uchiha Shisui saw Uchiha Yoichi, he quickly greeted him and patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder, indicating that he should learn from him.

"Chieftain."

So Uchiha Itachi greeted them in a proper manner, but he was a little confused. Just a few days ago he was the clan leader's son, so why wasn't he today?

"Shisui, could you please buy me a serving of yokan (sweet bean jelly)? Thank you."

After the Eighth Hokage approached, he spoke to Shisui Uchiha. Shisui nodded and said, "I understand, Eighth Hokage-senpai."

Although it was obvious that the two were being sent away, Uchiha Yang wasn't worried at all about Uchiha Itachi leaving. Being a rogue ninja wasn't so easy these days.

After Uchiha Shisui left with Itachi, Uchiha Yoichi, too lazy to beat around the bush, asked directly, "Where are they?"

"Fugaku has already left Konoha."

Uchiha Yatsuho lowered his head and said, "After waking up, I asked a medical ninja to use medical ninjutsu to speed up Fugaku's recovery. Once he regained his mobility, I left Konoha."

"Ruthless to enemies, yet favoritism towards my own people—have I made you misunderstand me, Yashiro-san?"

Uchiha Yoichi slowly tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes now displaying a kaleidoscope pattern; Uchiha Hachiro also gradually felt the pressure emanating from Uchiha Yoichi, and the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly heavy.

"Where did they go? I'll only ask this once!"

Uchiha Yatsuhoku's mind was in turmoil, and faced with this pressure, his prepared remarks were completely useless.

"I'm sorry, Fugaku, I'm afraid I'll have to let you down. This is also for Itachi's sake."

With this thought flashing through his mind, Uchiha Yatsuhoshi quickly made a decision. After taking out a saline bottle from his pocket, he suddenly felt relieved and said to Uchiha Yoichi.

"Clan leader, I don't know where Fugaku went, but he is no longer a threat to you, and he entrusted Itachi to me before he left. I am willing to atone with my death, please do not hold a grudge against Itachi."

Uchiha Yasui bowed and apologized to Uchiha Yoichi.

The saline solution bottle on the table contained a pair of eyes, which were Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.
