Uchiha's personal opinion

After Uchiha Tokumitsu, who had fully received the clan's education, became famous in one battle, the radical faction of the Uchiha clan also touted the excellence of the clan's internal education. Uchiha Tokumitsu was the best example, a living, real case. Coupled with the opinions of the clan members, some Uchiha parents who had planned to send their children to the Ninja Academy gave up the idea and decided to keep their children with them so that they or their elders could provide them with ninja education. Even the conservatives were no exception.

After all, within the Uchiha clan, regardless of whether they are radicals or conservatives, they all agree that being weak is the original sin.

The next day, after learning the news, Uchiha Tokumitsu took the initiative to find Elder Setsuna.

At this moment, Elder Setsuna, his face flushed, was chatting and drinking tea with a group of old Uchiha men. When he saw Uchiha Tokumitsu arrive, he quickly greeted him and went over.

"Little Deguang, didn't I tell you to rest for a few days? Why did you come back again? Are you reluctant to leave your grandpa?"

Elder Chan's words were full of affection and boasting.

As for the several Uchiha elders sitting together, they were all elders from various branches of the Uchiha clan, and they were all radicals. At this moment, they all looked depressed, especially the second elder. His direct grandson was Uchiha Nobutora, who was the first to be defeated by Uchiha Tokumitsu. This made the proud second elder feel extremely ashamed.

"Grandpa Elder, I just heard that some clansmen have withdrawn their applications to enroll in the village's ninja academy and are receiving family education instead. So I have some thoughts I'd like to discuss with you."

"what!"

Elder Shana was somewhat surprised to hear this.

It's not going to be some kind of toxic talk about going to the Ninja Academy to learn the Will of Fire or the bonds of comrades, is it?

Elder Sha Na suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Family education is naturally good."

Uchiha Tokumitsu got straight to the point, first giving Elder Setsuna a little reassurance.

"However, due to differences in strength and age composition, not all families may be fully capable of undertaking educational work... Moreover, many clan members are not ninjas..."

"Um……"

Elder Sha Na stroked his beard; he was naturally aware of these circumstances.

"If we established a clan-owned ninja academy in the clan's name... for intensive introductory training, wouldn't that be better?"

As Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke, he observed the expressions of Elder Setsuna and the other elders. Elder Setsuna stroked his beard in deep thought. While some elders nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing, while others frowned, as if having reservations, none of them voiced their objections. So Uchiha Tokumitsu continued:

"Furthermore, since it is a ninja academy within the clan, it is appropriate to open up and popularize more ninjutsu or advanced ninja tool manipulation techniques... This will also better enhance the clan's strength."

“The cost of a ninja academy is very high. The village schools were only able to be established because of funds allocated by the daimyo, and they don’t even require tuition fees… Little Deguang, you’re oversimplifying things,” an elder said dismissively.

“Then each clan can support the Ninja Academy’s funding. After all, it’s our Uchiha clan’s own school, and it’s training our clansmen,” Uchiha Tokumitsu retorted, emphasizing the word 'clan'.

Elder Setsuna, a stubborn radical of the Uchiha clan and a veteran Uchiha supremacist, felt that his words had hit the nail on the head.

"There aren't many preschool children in the family..."

"With fewer people, the cost is naturally lower, isn't that just right?"

"What about the Senju lineage? That Hokage, that monkey, is still Tobirama's disciple! They'll definitely object!"

"Why should we, the dignified Uchiha clan, be concerned about the lackeys of the Senju!"

"Based on the comparison of strength, our clan is ultimately in a disadvantageous position..."

"You old, degenerate worm! You should know shame!"

……

The discussion was originally about the feasibility of the Uchiha clan establishing their own ninja academy, but as the conversation went on, the elders became agitated and started attacking each other personally...

Uchiha Tokumitsu was speechless.

"enough!"

As the elder's face grew increasingly dark, he felt that what he was saying was getting more and more outrageous, and he shouted angrily to stop the commotion among the elders.

"Your descendants are still around! Don't you have any dignity left?!"

Turning to his head, Elder Setsuna said to Uchiha Tokumitsu with a gentle smile, "Tokumitsu, do you have any other good suggestions?"

"Grandpa Setsuna, and all the elders, the centralized education within the clan is definitely stronger than the basic education at the ninja academy. This will absolutely help to enhance the strength of the clan members."

Everyone agreed that this statement was true.

"But I don't understand why the family's actions should take into account the Hokage's opinion?"

An elder opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Elder Shana, who waved his hand and said, "Little Deguang, you continue."

"As far as I know, the Hyuga clan never sends its members to the Ninja Academy to play those pointless games about hot-blooded bonds..."

"The main branch of the Hyuga clan only has a few members, and those withered members are unwilling to let their little slaves out of their sight."

Upon hearing the name Hyuga, one of the elders immediately reacted with a sarcastic remark.

Elder Setsuna glared at him, signaling Uchiha Tokumitsu to continue.

"...Furthermore, the clan's ninja academy isn't necessarily called the Uchiha Ninja Academy..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu paused.

We can call it—

"Police Department Preparatory Training School!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they had discovered a new world.

"So, that means we can divert funds from the police department for the family's education!" This was an elder who loved money.

"And even the monkeys of the Senju lineage have nothing to say!" Yes, undoubtedly a die-hard Uchiha supremacist.

"Hmm... we can repackage the content. After all, we established this internal agency within the police department to enhance its overall strength, professional competence, and reserve forces. That way, the Senju faction won't have anything to say!"

"And it also allows some of the less capable members of the Uchiha clan in the police department to undergo retraining at the Uchiha Ninja Academy... uh, the police department's preparatory training school!" This was an old Uchiha bureaucrat.

"Yes! The new generation of clansmen in recent years have been far too outrageous in terms of both courage and strength. They are simply a disgrace to the Uchiha clan!"

The group of radical elders quickly refined Uchiha Tokumitsu's proposal by offering their own suggestions.

"very good!"

In an instant, Elder Shakespeare made the final decision.

"The clan's ninjutsu... the police force's preparatory training academy is imperative. I'll go and confirm it with the clan leader right away!"

“You are all elders of your respective families, so you naturally know the actual situation and predicament of your clan. Therefore… who supports and who opposes!”

Elder Setsuna glared imposingly with his three-tomoe jade pendant, scanning the radical elders present.

"support!"

"Strongly support!"

"Let's go together! Let's put pressure on the chieftain and the conservative insects!"

"Convene a clan meeting today!"

The elders, whose perspectives had broadened, were all incredibly excited.

Elder Sha Na nodded slightly.

People's hearts can be won over!

Turning back, Elder Setsuna said kindly to Uchiha Tokumitsu, "Little Tokumitsu, your idea is very good. Grandpa will arrange this matter. Why don't you go back and get some rest?"

After saying that, he took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Uchiha Tokumitsu, "This is a high-level fire ninjutsu that Grandpa specially copied. Take a look at it first, consider it a little something from Grandpa to you."

"Yes, Grandpa, esteemed elders, I shall take my leave now!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded obediently.

After Uchiha Tokumitsu left, Elder Setsuna said to the other elders with emotion, "If all of us clansmen were like Tokumitsu, how could our clan not prosper!"

"Our Uchiha clan's police force preparatory training academy is imperative! Unstoppable! Whether it's the clan leader or the Hokage!" A group of radical elders said with unwavering determination.

Chapter 11 Clan Conflicts

As night falls, the lights are on.

The azure night sky is like an incredibly vast blanket, with countless stars like sparkling gems adorning it.

The Uchiha clan compound was unusually quiet under the cover of night. At each of the two intersections of the compound, six fully armed Uchiha ninjas were on guard duty, and several more Uchiha ninjas were patrolling back and forth on the walls. The police department, which usually works overtime at this time, closed early today, and the police officers leisurely went home, whispering to each other and exchanging information.

The Nanga Shrine, which is usually too lazy for most people to visit, has now gathered more than forty Jonin. Apart from a few clansmen who were promoted due to their proficiency in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, the rest are all Uchiha elites who have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.

This is an extremely terrifying force, and it is not the entirety of the Uchiha clan's current strength, as many Uchiha Jonin are still leading teams on missions or remaining in the clan's territory to perform guard duties.

The sudden gathering of Uchiha ninjas naturally alarmed the Hokage Building and various ninja clans. On the walls of Konoha, many shadowy figures were secretly observing the movements of the Naga Shrine, but they dared not get too close to observe, after all, the powerful and domineering Uchiha ninjas were not known for their heavy-handedness when they attacked.

The Uchiha clan chief arrived first, followed by Elder Setsuna and the elders of the radical factions, with the conservatives arriving last. Once everyone was present, the Uchiha clan chief led the attendees into the shrine.

The agenda for today's clan meeting had been announced to the members in advance. At this moment, the Uchiha clan members stood kneeling and divided into two groups. The radicals were in high spirits and confident of victory, while the conservatives were frowning and worried. The Uchiha clan leader looked at the clearly divided radicals and conservatives and felt a headache coming on.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin," the Uchiha clan chief said with a sigh.

"Regarding our proposal to establish a Ninja... Police Department Preparatory Training Academy within the Police Department, the details are as follows..."

An elder from the radical faction took the lead, elaborating on the advantages of establishing a centralized training institution for Uchiha ninjas from various perspectives, as if the clan would be on the verge of collapse if it were not carried out in this way.

"...In conclusion, the establishment of the Police Department's Preparatory Training Academy is a meritorious act for the present and a benefit for future generations; it is imperative. Anyone who dares to object will be a sinner for the Uchiha clan for all time..."

"I object!"

Although the radicals' lengthy speeches were hard for the conservatives to accept, they felt that it was still beneficial to the family as a whole. They wanted to oppose the radicals' proposals as usual, but they couldn't find the key points to refute them, so they had no choice but to continue listening. However, as the radicals slapped more and more labels on them, some conservatives also became restless.

"Elder Chongxin, please be mindful of the clan's etiquette."

Elder Chana said something indifferently.

"He's pushing his family into the abyss to achieve some ulterior motive!"

"Elder Chongxin, watch your words. The clan council is not a place for one person to speak. Please be mindful of the clan council's etiquette."

The Uchiha clan chief, with a gloomy face, spoke to Elder Shigenori, a member of the conservative faction.

“One ninja village, one ninja academy. Our clan establishing its own ninja academy is a divisive act that will inevitably worsen our relationship with the Hokage’s faction. Moreover, with no clan members attending the ninja academy, the relationship between the clan and other clans in the village will also cool. The village’s neutral faction will also be easily won over by the Hokage’s faction. From the perspective of the shifting balance of power, this is unacceptable…”

Another conservative elder analyzed the situation slowly and methodically.

"It is precisely because of our strength that we need to establish the family's educational institution; the younger generation is simply outrageous, they are all a disgrace to the Uchiha clan!"

"Do you really want to see your family isolated by the village?!"

"We, the dignified Uchiha clan, would never deign to be bothered by those insects!"

"Nonsense! It's because of people like you that your family is ostracized!"
