Future Ideas

In the evening, after visiting the First Elder, Uchiha Yoichi walked towards his home after hearing some recent suggestions from Elder Uchiha Kenji.

According to Uchiha Kenji, Uchiha Yoichi's counter-attack this time was extremely fierce. It was as if someone stabbed him, and then Uchiha Yoichi dragged Danzō's entire family out to stab them one by one.

In the afternoon, just as the Security Force was apprehending the second batch of people from the Shimura clan, the Anbu delivered the mastermind behind the Shimura clan's 'collusion with Stone Ninja'. It was an elder in charge of the Shimura clan's business, likely the one who voluntarily took the blame and confessed.

With this person stepping forward to admit guilt and the Anbu having already submitted all the evidence, the Security Force found it difficult to continue pursuing and arresting more members of the Shimura clan.

This time, only thirty-odd people were arrested. However, Danzō couldn't save these thirty-odd people. The first batch of people arrested by Uchiha Yoichi were already confirmed, and the second batch arrested by the Security Force could be confirmed at any time.

Danzō was also stripped of his position as Hokage's Assistant due to lax supervision and is currently in seclusion for reflection.

However, Uchiha Kenji informed Uchiha Yoichi that this matter was not so easily concluded. He had already investigated the Shimura clan's businesses outside the village, and from now on, the Shimura clan would have no more business.

To put it bluntly, the Shimura clan was entirely built up by Danzō alone. Without the power granted to him by the village, Danzō wouldn't have had such great deterrent force; at best, he would be a ninja skilled in Wind Release.

Uchiha Yoichi also needed to keep a lower profile recently; this was Uchiha Kenji's advice to him.

Without the catalyst of war, unless Uchiha Yoichi could be like Konoha's White Fang, frequently completing missions and leaving a deep impression on enemies with his short sword, it would be difficult to gain fame in the Ninja World.

Moreover, Uchiha Yoichi's strength was also somewhat lacking. Relying on his Sharingan and Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he could deal with some Special Jonin. However, when facing elite Jonin, those with no weaknesses in any aspect, he would be somewhat powerless.

"Lord Yoichi, you're back."

Upon returning home, Uchiha Yoichi saw Uzumaki Mina welcoming him at the door.

It was then that Uchiha Yoichi noticed his house was a bit small. Yesterday, he hadn't paid much attention to it because he was busy planning matters concerning the Shimura clan.

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

Uchiha Yoichi sat down at the table and asked. Uzumaki Mina also brought dinner at the opportune moment.

It was pan-fried lamb chops and stewed lamb soup. This magic mutton was indeed as described, with very delicious meat. Even the pan-fried lamb chops were incredibly tender and fragrant when eaten.

Furthermore, not long after eating this mutton, he could clearly feel a warm current rising from his lower abdomen, filling his body with energy.

No wonder the Second Elder talked about it so much. After eating, Uchiha Yoichi also wanted to eat it every day, especially after practicing for a whole morning. Eating such mutton at noon would give him abundant energy to practice in the afternoon.

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

"You'll receive a subsidy from now on too. Two hundred thousand ryo per month for your personal use. As for what the household needs, you can take it directly from the savings account. Don't be stingy."

"No need, Lord Yoichi, for taking me in..."

"I took you in because I value your abilities, but you still deserve the proper compensation. You should receive rewards for your contributions based on your abilities; besides, I'm not short on money, so that's settled."

Uchiha Yoichi was not short on money at all. From the mission in the Land of Grass with Kakashi, they received nearly eighty million ryo from the Iwata Family, along with jewelry and gold worth over ten million ryo.

The total earnings were close to one hundred million ryo. In the end, Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi split it four-six.

Uchiha Yoichi had initially intended to split it five-five, but Kakashi felt the captain should receive more, so they settled on four-six.

Over fifty million ryo, combined with what Uchiha Yoichi had saved before, amounted to about sixty million ryo. Even if he spent lavishly, this money would be enough for him to live until he was sixty.

Although this sixty million was a lot, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to what Uchiha Yoichi wanted to do.

After leaving the Second Elder, Uchiha Yoichi had confirmed his intentions: he wanted to become the Clan Head of the Uchiha clan. Otherwise, Uchiha Fugaku, who naturally held the moral high ground, would clash with him more and more due to their differing views, potentially leading to only one outcome: defection.

Honestly, defection was not a good option.

Leaving Konoha would first mean facing pursuit from Konoha. The other major ninja villages wouldn't necessarily accept a rogue ninja. In that case, he could only go to a small country. But what use would going to a small country be?

Uchiha Yoichi was not a research-oriented ninja like Orochimaru. If he defected to a small country to develop his influence, it would truly be a case of losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds.

If he stayed in Konoha, he would have resources and protection provided by Uchiha Kenji, who could also help him solve problems. If he defected, he would have nothing.

If he didn't establish a power base, defecting would turn him into a wandering ninja, which would be even more miserable in the Ninja World.

This was why Uchiha Yoichi accepted Uchiha Kenji's persuasion and moved towards the path of becoming the Clan Head.

However, he had a different perspective on winning the love of his clan members.

It was simply about improving the well-being of the clan members. Among the Uchiha clan, there were certainly ordinary clan members.

After arriving in the Ninja World, Uchiha Yoichi had lived in this clan for a year and understood their attitude towards ordinary clan members very well.

Families of ninjas who died in battle could receive generous compensation. They could also apply to the clan for help when needed. Orphans attending the ninja academy would also receive subsidies, though these would cease after graduation.

As for ordinary clan members, they all had their own jobs and could seek help from the clan if they encountered difficulties, but that was about it.

All the benefits were like this. It wasn't exceptionally good, but it was definitely much better than for orphans in Konoha.

Uchiha Yoichi felt that winning the support of clan members through fame and strength was too abstract and lacked tangible support.

It would be better to use a sound welfare system within the clan to win people's hearts. Even ordinary clan members, upon reaching a certain age, could receive welfare payments, eliminating worries about expenses.

For ninjas within the clan, the treatment would be even better and would extend to their families. Genin would be one tier, Chunin another, and Jonin would have their entire families enjoy benefits for life.

Setting aside other things, as long as Uchiha Yoichi established this welfare system within the clan, all clan members would thank him when they saw him.

The only difficulty would be finding a business that could generate a continuous stream of income, but Uchiha Yoichi felt it wouldn't be too difficult.

He had traveled outside the village twice and had a certain understanding of the Ninja World.

The technological development in the Ninja World was quite good. All modern appliances were available, even televisions and large computers.

As for profitable ventures, simply bringing out the card-collecting game from the Boruto era could generate continuous income. The aspect of medical drugs was also a cash cow.

Konoha's medical care was the most advanced in the Ninja World, but the medicines were still semi-artificially produced, and there were almost no health supplements. All medical development was geared towards war.

Producing these would be highly profitable, but Uchiha Yoichi felt he needed to discuss it with the Second Elder.
