Since preparations take a week, Uchiha Takashi will have no choice but to stay obediently within the clan's territory for that week.
Tatsu Uchiha specifically instructed Uchiha Takashi to prevent him from sneaking out on his own.
In Tatsu Uchiha's eyes, Uchiha Takashi was just like those restless clan leaders before him, wanting to leave the clan and go out to fight.
In reality, Uchiha Takashi could afford to wait, because after the clan's internal affairs reform, he, as the clan head, didn't need to handle much at all; he could just laze around in his office all Tenten.
There wasn't much going on, otherwise he wouldn't have had so much free time to patrol the clan territory Tenten, although in Tatsu Uchiha's eyes, these actions were simply too much to handle.
And here we are again, Uchiha Takashi is inspecting the clan's territory today.
Stepping out of the central office building of the clan, Uchiha Takashi stretched, basking in the sunlight high in the sky. "Another beautiful day," he thought. "Where should I begin my inspection today?"
His gaze swept across the surrounding streets, finally settling on the school next to the office building. The school had been under construction for about six months; he wanted to check on the academic progress of the younger generation of his family.
Upon reaching the school gate, the school security guard immediately jumped to attention and greeted Uchiha Takashi: "Clan Chief!"
Uchiha Takashi extended his hand, gesturing for him to relax. "I just came here to take a look, you can continue."
The security guard shook his head, straightening his back ramrod straight. "For the future of the Uchiha Clan, I am determined to guard the school gates and not allow any strangers to enter!"
Uchiha Takashi's eye twitched. "Are you really a school security guard, or are you even a security guard? This is the clan's headquarters. What suspicious person could possibly infiltrate here?"
However, the security guards were all very dedicated, so Uchiha Takashi still commended them. If the security guards at his school in his previous life had been this dedicated, so many students wouldn't have fallen victim to pyramid schemes and scams.
Uchiha Takashi continued walking in and soon arrived at the teaching area. Passing by classrooms, he could even see what the students were doing through the windows.
Well, those who listened attentively, those who asked questions, and... those who whispered and secretly passed notes.
Well, it seems every school has students like this; it has nothing to do with family background.
Uchiha Takashi watched the children secretly passing notes under the table, and he thought of his past life. He stood there quietly, reminiscing.
But the feeling inside the classroom is different.
"Hey, have you finished your homework? If you have, can I copy it?" a Uchiha clan member called out cautiously to his friend beside him.
Meanwhile, his eyes kept glancing at the teacher on the podium. Fortunately, this was an academic class, and the teacher was just a commoner from the Uchiha clan.
If it were any other course, the students would almost always be Uchiha clan members with Sharingan; nothing they did would escape the teacher's notice.
A member of the tribesman standing nearby frowned impatiently. "It's not written! Write it yourself."
The tribesman leaned back slightly, then kicked it with his foot. "I saw what you wrote, it's on your left, give it to me now!"
The tribesman he kicked sighed, placed his left hand on his workbook, and turned his head to say, "Write it yourself next time. This time, I'll just..."
Before he could finish speaking, he quickly pulled his head back, put his workbook back, and pretended to be listening attentively.
The tribesman on the other side paused for a moment, then stuck out his foot and kicked. "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and get back here! Why did you pull back again?"
The tribesman sat up straight, his eyes resolute, and said, enunciating each word clearly, "You are responsible for your own studies. These kinds of assignments and such, of course, you have to do them yourself!"
The clansmen who had borrowed the homework were dumbfounded. One of them pointed a finger and said, "Hey, stop pretending! I lent you mine last time! Give it back right now!"
But no matter how he tried to get the tribesman's attention, the tribesman sitting next to him remained unmoved, and even turned around and criticized him. "Studying should be done diligently, and homework should be done by oneself."
Don't rely on others. Will someone let you copy their answers during the exam?
The clansman who had borrowed the homework gaped, exclaiming, "Wow! When did you become like this? You asked to borrow my homework just now, how come you're turning your back on me now?"
Give me my homework right now! If you don't, I'm really angry!
At this moment, the clansman whose homework had been borrowed was flushed with anger. He took deep breaths and said in a low voice, "Write it yourself!" At the same time, his eyes kept drifting towards the window.
The clansman who had borrowed the homework finally realized what was happening. His eyes darted to the window, caught sight of a figure, and he immediately shrank back, his face full of guilt.
Then, forcing a smile, he said, "Congratulations on passing my test. I did this to test you, to see if you would lend me your homework. It seems your will is very strong. Congratulations on passing my test!"
Uchiha Takashi, who had been reminiscing about the past, suddenly snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and then left the window.
The two clansmen, sitting upright, took a few tense deep breaths, then looked towards the window again. Only after confirming that the figure by the window had disappeared did they relax.
"Oh my god, that scared me to death! When did they arrive? There were no footsteps!"
Another tribesman collapsed onto the table, looking utterly exhausted. "How terrifying! I felt like my soul almost left my body when I saw that figure."
Uchiha Takashi had already walked quite a distance, was completely unaware that he had frightened the two students, and continued strolling around the school.
At the same time, I kept an eye on the situation in each classroom and occasionally heard some students complaining.
"Oh dear, I really don't know what the point of these cultural classes is. Am I supposed to rush up to the Senju Clan and lecture them on history?"
"Exactly, what's the use of this thing? Does it help me kill enemies better on the battlefield?"
"And this school too, the food in the cafeteria is just awful! How does the school manage to make such delicious food taste so bad?"
"I want to leave get out of class, I want to go home. School feels like being in prison, it's so much like the prison in my family!"
Uchiha Takashi listened to these complaints, stroked his chin, and decided to put the cafeteria issue aside for now; he would deal with that later.
The other two issues were not problems in his view, since he had specifically established the academic courses, even though elders like Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha were opposing them, he still insisted on setting them up.
As for why the school resembles a prison so much, that was, of course, intentionally... ugh, meticulously designed by Uchiha Takashi. He built it based on his school from his previous life; even the construction plans were based on his previous school.
Unfortunately, the school in their previous life had an almost identical layout to their family's prison.
However, whether it was a coincidence or intentional remains unknown.
