The Uchiha Book of Sealing
The Uchiha Yashiro, holding a file, reported:
"The expenses for the Administration Institute are approximately 10 million taels, the expenses for the Guard Institute are approximately 30 million taels, the expenses for the Ninjutsu Academy are 10 million taels, the expenses for the Senior Care Home are approximately 15 million taels, the expenses for the Orphanage are approximately 15 million taels, and adding the expenses for other institutions, the total is approximately 100 million taels."
"Let me see the file."
"Hi!"
Naraku took the file handed to him by Yashiro and began to examine it.
The personnel expenses of the Clan Affairs Hall have been increased. The number of staff in the Administration Institute has been expanded to 15. The staff of the Administration Institute have a lot of work and complicated affairs. Each person's annual salary is 600,000 taels. The annual salary expenses alone are 9 million taels. Adding other material losses, the total is close to 10 million taels.
Naraku carefully examined the file, turned the page, and continued reading.
The Guard Institute, also known as the Security Institute, is divided into two parts: the Inner Court and the Outer Court.
The Outer Court were responsible for standing guard at various entrances and exits of the Uchiha. This position was poorly paid, with an annual salary of around 300,000 taels of silver. Most of them were ordinary Genin, or those with little ninja talent, poor qualifications, or older age.
They weren't expected to protect the Uchiha; their role as early warning systems was sufficient. The number of recruits was increased to thirty, divided into three shifts of about ten people each. The annual cost was close to 10 million taels.
The Inner Court is the Uchiha's Anbu Guard, secretly protecting the Uchiha's power. There are not many people, only 17 people in total, including four squads and the Anbu Guard Captain.
The squad leader assists Naraku managing the Anbu Guard. Each member earns an annual salary of one million taels, a squad leader one million two hundred thousand taels, and a squad leader one million five hundred thousand taels. The expenses for the Anbu Guard are higher, with a total annual expenditure of around 20 million taels.
The Anbu Guard are selected from among the most talented members of the clan. Currently, most of the Anbu Guard are trained as Uchiha forces and are armed and driven by the clan leader.
Although they are called Anbu Guard, they are not currently relying on Anbu Guard to protect the Uchiha.
If it really comes to the point where they have to use Anbu Guard guards to protect the Uchiha, then Naraku is probably close to his demise.
After all, even a large ninja unit like the Special Police Division Konoha Military Police Force couldn't hold out, so it's best not to have too much hope with just this few people.
The main function of the Anbu Guard was to secretly cultivate outstanding clan ninjas under Naraku's command, while also focusing on nurturing talented Uchiha members, using their salaries to develop them.
Naraku glanced at it and turned to the next page of the file.
Detailed breakdown of the Ninjutsu Academy expenses: Jonin the Ninjutsu Academy earn an annual salary of 1 million ryo, Chunin) teachers earn an annual salary of 800,000 ryo.
There are two teaching teams, with a total of four Jonin and three Chunin.
A squad consists of one Jonin and three Chunin skilled in teaching. They are responsible for instructing ordinary clan members.
The other team consists of three Jonin, who are responsible for teaching clan members who have awakened their Sharingan.
It mainly teaches the tribe members traditional skills of ninjutsu, body combat, and illusion.
Uchiha Style Taijutsu, Fire Style ninjutsu, Shuriken Manipulation Technique are compulsory courses.
Other elemental Ninjutsu, as well as Fuinjutsu, Sharingan Genjutsu, and Sharingan usage skills, are cultivated as needed.
The teachers' salaries alone amount to 6.4 million, plus housing rent and teacher benefits.
Other teaching materials, such as Explosive Tag, Summoning Scroll, and ninja tools, cost approximately 10 million taels per year.
The rental of houses is on land within the clan, which is considered a transaction where the money is spent on one hand and received back into the Clan Affairs Hall on the other. However, the expenses of the Ninjutsu Academy and the income of the clan affairs office are calculated and accounted for separately.
The shop rent and the income from the Uchiha Weapon Shop are recorded separately and managed by a dedicated financial department; these are generally not discussed in public.
Naraku continued flipping through the files.
The nursing homes for elderly people living alone and the orphanages for orphans who have lost their relatives are too many to care for, and the expenses for food, accommodation, etc. are close to 1,500 taels a year.
Such expenses are unavoidable, Naraku continued flipping through the files.
The Advisory Institute, with its small number of members, was a benefit for the former elders, and could also be considered a bribe or a way to win them over. The cost was less than 10 million, and it represented Naraku's attitude.
Including other smaller expenses such as Sanitation Bureau and Craftsmen Bureau, the total expenditure was approximately 10 million taels.
The clan's internal institutions spend about 100 million taels a year, while the clan members contribute 150 million taels, leaving a surplus of 50 million taels.
There's actually another major consumer, but it wasn't included in the calculations.
The Ninjutsu Research Institute, also known as the Forbidden Jutsu Research Institute, was established by Hiruko, who was hired by Naraku.
Hiruko no salary, but his expenses were extremely high.
Of the remaining 50 million, about half must be used. This expenditure will continue because the laboratory has restarted forbidden experiments.
Previously, the clan had very little surplus wealth, but in the past two years, the clan's population has increased, and the number of lower-ranking ninjas has also increased.
Only after the clan Clan Affairs Hall's commission revenue increased did it finally achieve a real surplus.
Konoha provides compensation to fallen soldiers: 2 million ryo for Genin and 5 million ryo for Chunin. If a ninja clan manages the compensation, it is distributed to that clan.
The Clan Affairs Hall under Naraku's jurisdiction generally does not annex these; what is due is distributed to the clan members.
Sometimes, funds are even drawn from the Clan Affairs Hall to provide additional compensation to clan members and their families.
The 100 million ryo that Naraku negotiations during the last investigation into the deaths of his clansmen.
The supplies replenished the ninja tools consumed by the expeditionary ninjas and provided each ninja with an A-rank mission reward; the majority of the rest was distributed as compensation.
Too many lower-level ninjas being lost would negatively impact the Uchiha's gains, not to mention the outflow of their Kekkei Genkai.
Even if only a few of those lower-ranking ninjas awakened the Sharingan during the fierce battle, it would still be a huge loss.
Therefore, if there are any abnormal losses of ninjas, the Clan Affairs Hall Administration Institute will immediately notice them and will report and investigate them.
Naraku the file and handed it to Uchiha Yashiro.
"Yashiro, you've worked hard."
"Compared to you, I'm not having a hard time."
Naraku chuckled at Yashiro's flattering words, not taking them to heart.
Naraku had some savings. Previously, Kurama Ryota gave Naraku 200 million ryo and also gave it to the village head, Naraku gladly accepted. He had never used the money.
The so-called Ninjutsu Research Institute is actually a private operation; it only provides funding but never recoups its investment with any results. Naraku will still have to cover the losses himself.
After Naraku compiled an Uchiha version of the Scroll of Sealing.
Naraku compiled and recorded the Chimera Technique and the forbidden Sharingan techniques of the Uchiha, placing the Uchiha version of the Scroll of Sealing in a secret compartment of the Clan Affairs Hall.
With the records of the Chimera Technique, the expenses that were misappropriated from the Clan Affairs Hall have been accounted for and given back.
The Chimera Technique is Ninjutsu, if it were to spread, would inevitably cause turmoil. It's like Shinobi World version of the Northern Dark Divine Skill or the Star-Sucking Great Skill.
The true way to become stronger is through devouring. No matter how superior your bloodline is, if you are captured, you belong to me. Therefore, this is Ninjutsu that must be sealed.
Hiruko's version and Naraku's personal training insights are recorded in the Uchiha Book of Sealing.
The Uchiha Book of Sealing also records the clan's Sharingan techniques. If these Sharingan techniques were to be leaked, they would cause Ninjutsu within the Uchiha.
The Sharingan forbidden technique Izanagi— those who master this Sharingan technique have endless demands on the Sharingan.
The Shinobi World is not lacking in ambitious individuals; those who master forbidden Sharingan techniques will inevitably seek to collect Sharingan.
This was the source of chaos for the Uchiha Clan.
After the Uchiha joined Konoha, there was a disturbance caused by the forbidden Izanagi technique. Although it was later quelled, this turmoil resulted in a significant reduction in the Uchiha population and a severe loss of strength.
As for the mastermind behind it all, although it hasn't been identified, whoever benefits from the Uchiha's losses is the most likely culprit. Naraku knew this perfectly well.
Uchiha Okura and Sanzang, who experienced the Izanagi Rebellion, sealed away all the information on the Sharingan technique Izanagi, the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Eternal Mangekyo.
Forbidden techniques and information such as the Mangekyo, the Eternal Mangekyo, Izanagi should not be circulated among the Uchiha.
The Mangekyo data left behind by Uchiha Madara, one of the founders of Konoha, is known only to some of the upper echelons of the Uchiha, such as elders and clan heads.
They might have passed these things down orally from generation to generation through their direct blood relatives. But now, more than twenty years later, most of the clansmen are no longer aware of these things.
The sealing of these materials united the Uchiha clan members, freeing them from suspicion, plunder, and distrust.
These sealed documents were originally in the possession of the Great Elder, but were later handed over to Naraku.
Although these materials are taboo, those in power are reluctant to destroy the hard-won experiences of their predecessors.
Although the Izanagi technique comes at a great cost, it is, after all, a powerful Sharingan eye technique. In critical moments, it can be a technique that defies fate.
In these historical records, Naraku praises and affirms the historical achievements of the Great Elder Uchiha Okura and his father Sanzang.
