Statistics Details, Uchiha Natsu's Plans

Logs as thick as embracing arms had been shaved smooth and driven deep into the ground, forming a wooden wall nearly three meters high. Loopholes for observation and shooting had been left along its top.

Inside the wall, rows of neat wooden houses had already been erected. Though their roofs had yet to be completed, their main structures were finished, enough to shelter the entire clan from wind and rain.

Tall watchtowers stood at all four corners of the camp. The ninjas on guard stood atop them, their Feihong Sharingan constantly scanning the surrounding area.

The ground had been leveled solidly with Earth Release ninjutsu, without so much as a protruding pebble. The warehouses, training grounds, and Barrier Team work areas had all been clearly marked out, with no disorder whatsoever.

Uchiha Fugaku stood in the middle of the camp, directing the clansmen as they built the roofs. The moment he saw Natsu enter, he set down what he was holding and came over.

"You're back." Fugaku's gaze swept over the people behind him. "Nothing unexpected happened on the road, right?"

"Nothing much. We even brought back a few things." Natsu smiled, his eyes sweeping across the entire camp. "You managed to accomplish so much in a single day. Thanks for your hard work, Uncle."

"The young ones in the clan are simply quick with their hands." Fugaku's tone was calm, but the satisfaction in his eyes could not be hidden. "With chakra enhancement, felling trees and leveling the ground take far less effort. Fire Release dries the timber, Earth Release reinforces the foundations, and the Sharingan calculates the roof-beam structure without the slightest error.

"In the Ninja World, work like this would take at least half a month just to take shape. Now it's standing after one day. In another three days, the whole camp will be complete."

When the surrounding clansmen saw Natsu return, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed.

The panic and confusion they had felt when they first left Konoha were long gone, replaced by the grounded security of finally putting down roots.

Their axes were still dusted with wood shavings, but the land beneath their feet belonged entirely to the Uchiha. They no longer had to cater to Konoha's moods or fear schemes lurking in the shadows. Even their movements as they worked carried a freedom they had never possessed before.

Natsu's gaze swept over the camp, which was already beginning to take shape, before finally returning to Fugaku beside him. "Uncle, next, I'll need you to compile the strength levels and personnel details of every ninja in the clan. Also, notify everyone that no matter what commotion occurs in the camp tonight, they need not panic. Once everything is settled, they can report the situation together."

Fugaku raised a brow slightly, a faint trace of doubt flashing through his eyes.

He could not guess what Natsu intended to do, but he had trusted this boy who had led the entire clan out of its dead end from beginning to end. He immediately nodded and answered in a low voice, "All right. I'll arrange for someone to handle it right away."

After saying that, however, he did not move. He still held the branch he had been using to sketch the camp's layout, his fingers tightening slightly around it. After several seconds of silence, he finally spoke the words that had lingered in his mind all day. "Natsu, I've thought about it for a day. The position of Uchiha Clan head should be handed over to you."

Natsu shook his head, his tone utterly calm. "We can discuss it once I come of age. Besides, the family has only just set foot in this unfamiliar world, and everyone's hearts have only just settled. The most important thing is to put down roots first. This isn't the time to stir things up with personnel changes."

Fugaku looked at the composure and thoroughness radiating from Natsu's young frame, and the last remnants of hesitation in his heart completely vanished.

He did not press further. He simply nodded heavily, then turned and went to arrange the matters Natsu had assigned.

Not long afterward, Uchiha Setsuna arrived carrying a detailed roster bound in oiled paper. He handed it to Natsu, his brows slightly furrowed as he asked, "Natsu, why do you suddenly need the details on every ninja in the clan? Do you have some arrangement in mind?"

"It's nothing that can't be said." Natsu accepted the roster, his fingertips brushing over the paper as he spoke calmly. "If the clan is to take root in this world, we need long-term plans. In the future, I want everyone in the clan to become a ninja if possible."

He glanced toward the outskirts of the camp, where the captured pirates were being tied up and escorted to the wasteland, then continued, "I plan to take in the people we brought back today as the clan's dependents. They'll handle miscellaneous work such as land reclamation, farming, and construction. Any prisoners we capture from the outside in the future will follow the same arrangement.

"Once we have enough dependents and sufficient resources and manpower, everyone in the clan can focus on learning the Chakra Refinement Method without having to divide their attention over making a living."

This was not something he said casually.

Ordinary people in the Ninja World all had seeds of chakra hidden within them. Talent merely determined how much chakra they could ultimately refine.

Moreover, with the [Time Traveler] trait as a safeguard, the entire clan could adapt to this world's rules and cultivate powerful bodies comparable to those of the local monsters. Combined with the Sharingan in the Uchiha bloodline—once their eyes awakened, their spiritual power would undergo a qualitative leap.

A clan where everyone was a ninja had never been some unreachable fantasy.

As he spoke, Natsu had already opened the detailed roster in his hands. The handwriting inside was neat and forceful, clearly recording the number of ninjas in the clan and their respective strength levels:

[Total number of clan ninjas: 1,359

Three-Tomoe Sharingan holders: 33

Two-Tomoe Sharingan holders: 104

One-Tomoe Sharingan holders: 352

Ninjas without awakened eyes: 870

Among them, there are 23 Elite Jonin in the clan, all of whom are Three-Tomoe Sharingan holders;

There are 84 Jonin in the clan. Ten are Three Tomoe holders, while the remaining 74 are all Two Tomoe holders;

There are 272 Elite Chunin in the clan. Twenty are Two Tomoe holders, while the remaining 252 are all One Tomoe holders;

There are 370 Chunin in the clan. One hundred are One Tomoe holders, while the remaining 270 have not awakened their eyes;

There are 400 Elite Genin in the clan, none of whom have awakened their eyes;

The remaining 200 are clan children under the age of ten who have just advanced to Genin, none of whom have awakened their eyes.]

After reading through every page, Natsu had gained a clear understanding of the clan's overall strength.

The Uchiha Clan truly deserved its reputation as the foremost great clan of the Ninja World, with a legacy stretching back a thousand years.

Even after Konoha's suppression had reduced its population to such an extreme degree, the proportion of ninjas within the clan remained astonishingly high.

The roster made it clear that every adult clansman who had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan was, without exception, an Elite Jonin.

The remaining ten Three-Tomoe holders who had yet to reach Elite Jonin were simply still too young, with their bodies and spiritual power not yet at their peak.

Once the [Time Traveler] trait was activated, these thirty-three Three-Tomoe holders would all possess at least Elite Jonin-level strength.

The 104 Two-Tomoe holders would be able to reach at least the threshold of Elite Chunin. Once they came of age, nearly every one of them could steadily step into the Jonin rank.
