Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 37 Future Ideas (Please continue reading)

That evening, after visiting the Grand Elder, Uchiha Yoichi listened to Elder Uchiha Kenji's recent suggestions before heading home.

According to Kenji Uchiha, Uchiha Yoichi's counterattack this time was extremely fierce, almost like someone stabbed him and then Uchiha Yoichi dragged Danzo's entire family over to stab them one by one.

In the afternoon, just as the security team arrested the second batch of people from the Shimura family, the Anbu brought over the mastermind of the Shimura family's "collusion with Iwa ninja." He was an elder in charge of the Shimura family's business and was probably the one who took the blame and admitted his mistake.

With this person coming forward to confess, and the secret service having already submitted all the evidence, the security forces could no longer continue to pursue and arrest people from the Shimura family.

This time, only more than thirty of them were captured, but Danzo could not rescue these thirty-odd people. The first batch of people captured by Uchiha Yoichi were already dead, and the second batch of people captured by the guards could be dead at any time.

Danzo was also removed from his position as Hokage's assistant due to lax supervision and is currently reflecting on his actions in seclusion.

However, Kenji Uchiha told Yoichi Uchiha that this matter was not so simple to end. He had already inquired about the Shimura family's business outside, and that the Shimura family would no longer have any business.

To put it bluntly, the Shimura clan was built up entirely by Danzo. If Danzo hadn't been given the power by the village, he wouldn't have had such a strong presence; at best, he would have been a decent wind-style ninja.

Uchiha Yoichi should keep a low profile these days, according to Uchiha Kenji's advice.

Without the catalyst of war, unless Uchiha Yoichi could complete missions frequently like Konoha's White Fang and leave a deep impression on the enemy with his White Fang short sword, it would be difficult for him to make a name for himself in the ninja world.

Furthermore, Uchiha Yoichi's strength was somewhat lacking. With his Sharingan and Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he could deal with some special Jonin; however, he was somewhat powerless against the elite Jonin who had no weaknesses in any aspect.

"Yang Yi, you're back."

When Uchiha Yang returned home, he saw Uzumaki Mina waiting for him at the door.

It was only then that Uchiha Yoichi noticed that his house was a bit small. He hadn't paid much attention to it yesterday because he was busy planning things for the Shimura family.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. The house is very clean."

Uchiha Yoichi sat down at the table and asked a question, while Uzumaki Mina brought in dinner at the right time.

It consists of pan-fried lamb chops and stewed lamb soup. This magical lamb is indeed as described, with incredibly delicious meat. Even the pan-fried lamb chops are indescribably tender and flavorful.

Moreover, not long after eating this mutton, one can clearly feel a warm current rising from the lower abdomen, and the whole body is full of energy.

No wonder the Second Elder kept mentioning it. Uchiha Yangyi wanted to eat it every day after finishing it, especially after a morning of cultivation. Eating this kind of mutton at noon would give him plenty of energy to cultivate in the afternoon.

Mina Uzumaki shook her head and said, "It's not hard at all. It's much easier here than in Kusagakure."

"From now on, you'll receive a subsidy too, 200,000 taels a month. This is for your own use. As for anything the family needs, just take it directly from your savings account; there's no need to be frugal."

"No need, Lord Yang will take me in."

"I took you in because I value your abilities, but you should still be compensated accordingly. You deserve to be rewarded for your efforts; besides, I'm not short of money, so let's leave it at that."

Uchiha Yoichi is not short of money at all. During the previous mission in the Land of Grass, he and Kakashi took about 80 million ryo from the Iwata family, as well as jewelry, gold and other items worth more than 10 million ryo.

The total haul was close to 100 million ryo, which was eventually split 40/60 between Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi.

Uchiha Yoichi originally planned for a 50/50 split, but Kakashi felt that the captain should get more, so they finally settled on a 40/60 split.

More than 50 million taels, plus what Uchiha Yoichi had saved before, totaling about 60 million taels; even if he spent it extravagantly, this amount of money would be enough for him to live on until he was sixty.

While 60 million is a lot, it's still a drop in the ocean compared to what Uchiha Yoichi wants to do.

After leaving the Second Elder, Uchiha Yoichi confirmed his thoughts: he wanted to become the head of the Uchiha clan; otherwise, Uchiha Fugaku was born with a sense of righteousness, and he could not stand Uchiha Fugaku's actions, so the conflict would escalate, and in the end, he might only be able to defect.

Frankly, defection is not a good option.

Leaving Konoha would mean facing Konoha's pursuit, and the other major ninja villages might not accept a rogue ninja. In that case, the only option would be to go to a small country, but what good would that do?

Uchiha Yoichi isn't a research-oriented ninja like Orochimaru. If he were to defect to a small country to develop his power, he would be throwing away the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

Staying in Konoha meant having Uchiha Kenji to provide resources and protection, and even help him solve problems; defecting meant losing everything.

If you don't establish your own power base, then defecting will make you a wandering ninja, which will be even worse in the ninja world.

That's why Uchiha Yoichi accepted Uchiha Kenji's advice and began his journey towards becoming the clan leader.

However, Uchiha Yoichi had a different view on winning the love and respect of his clansmen.

It's simply about improving the happiness of the clan members. Among the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, there must also be ordinary clan members.

After arriving in the ninja world, Uchiha Yoichi lived in this clan for a year and was very familiar with the clan's attitude towards ordinary clan members.

Those whose families have lost a ninja in battle can receive a generous pension. They can also apply to their clan for help if needed. Orphans who attend ninja academy will also receive subsidies, but these subsidies will stop after graduation.

As for ordinary clan members, they all have their own jobs, and they can ask the clan for help when they encounter difficulties, but that's about it.

That's all the benefits are like; they're not exactly great, but they're definitely much better than the orphans in Konoha.

Uchiha Yoichi felt that using reputation and strength to win the support of his clansmen was too superficial and lacked any tangible support.

Instead of trying to win people's hearts with a sound internal welfare system, even ordinary clan members can receive welfare payments as they get older, so they don't have to worry about expenses anymore.

Those who are ninjas within the clan receive even better treatment, and this benefits extend to their families; Genin are one level, Chunin are another, and Jonin provide lifelong benefits to three generations of their entire family.

Putting everything else aside, once Uchiha Yoichi establishes this welfare system within the clan, every clansman will have to thank him when they see him.

The only difficulty was finding a business that could generate a steady stream of income, but Uchiha Yoichi didn't think it would be too difficult.

He also traveled outside the village twice, and gained some understanding of the ninja world.

The technology in the ninja world is quite advanced; it has all the modern electrical appliances it needs, even televisions and desktop computers.

Speaking of profitable projects, simply releasing the Boruto game card collection feature ahead of time can generate a continuous stream of income; the medical and pharmaceutical sector is also a cash cow.

Konoha's medical system is considered the most advanced in the ninja world, but medicines are still mostly artificially prepared, and there are almost no health supplements. All medical development is geared towards serving the war effort.

This stuff is incredibly profitable to make, but Uchiha Yoichi felt he needed to talk to the Second Elder.

Please vote, and maybe even invest a little something too.
