"Alright," Uchiha Takashi finally agreed, having exhausted all other options.
Seeing that Kyō Uchiha Takashi nodded with satisfaction and then walked out of the office.
"Since you, clan leader, have already agreed, you must do this well. The future generations of the clan are entrusted to you."
As Kyō Uchiha walked away, he kept turning back to give him instructions. Uchiha Takashi could only nod in response, "Don't worry, I can handle this kind of thing."
After the Kyō Uchiha, Uchiha Takashi, sitting in his office, propped his chin up and called over another Uchiha member.
"Go to the Household Bureau and the Personnel Bureau and ask some people to come and investigate how many orphans there are in the entire country. First, find out about the orphans in the family's main base, and then go investigate other places."
The Uchiha clansmen nodded and left the office, while Uchiha Takashi lowered his head to continue studying the map.
Although the Uchiha's current territory cannot compare to that of the Land of Fire, don't think that the Uchiha only has two small places.
In fact, during the chaotic Warring States period, almost every clan's stronghold could be considered a village or town.
Currently, the Uchiha clan controls five towns: Uchiha Village, Uchiha Clan Compound, Hyuga Clan Compound, Shimura Clan Compound, and Hagoromo Clan Compound.
Among them, the Uchiha Village and the Uchiha Clan Compound are the closest, only a few dozen kilometers apart. Future development plans aim to connect these two places, ultimately forming a super-large city.
Therefore, investigating the exact number of orphans in the country is, frankly, quite troublesome. Fortunately, the involvement of the Nara Clan has made the matter less difficult to resolve.
After inspecting the site selection, the amount of funding, and the personnel chosen, and finding nothing else to do, Uchiha Takashi returned to his office, intending to slack off.
The Uchiha clansman he had first sent out to investigate the orphans in the country returned and rushed into his office in a hurry.
Seeing the anxious and flustered Uchiha clansman, Uchiha Takashi helplessly put down the storybook in his hand and looked at the clansman, saying, "What is it?"
The Uchiha member quickly ran to the table and whispered, "One of the orphans in the clan... has a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan."
Upon hearing these words, Uchiha Takashi, who had initially maintained a calm expression, instantly became alert, his expression mirroring that of the Uchiha clansman.
"What the hell?" Uchiha Takashi nearly jumped out of his chair. Another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan? Holy crap, is their Uchiha ancestor Indra's grave emitting auspicious smoke?
In this era, two Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly appeared? Although Mangekyō Sharingan were common during the Warring States period, Mangekyō Sharingan were not common in this era.
Uchiha Takashi already possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, and now you're telling us he's gained another Mangekyō Sharingan? This is absolutely fantastic news for the Uchiha Clan!
This undoubtedly meant that the Uchiha Clan had gained another high-end combatant. Just as Uchiha Takashi was feeling pleased, he suddenly remembered something and asked...
"Excuse me, how old is the person who possesses this Mangekyō Sharingan?"
The Uchiha clansman stroked his chin. "Looks quite young, probably around 7 years old."
Uchiha Takashi's expression immediately cracked. "Awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan at seven? Sasuke, what else do you have to say?"
However, Uchiha Takashi realized he had been too optimistic. The Mangekyō Sharingan user was only seven years old. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible to send someone to the battlefield to fight the Senju Clan.
Putting aside whether this is in accordance with the rules, given the current state of the Uchiha, there's absolutely no need to send a seven-year-old child to the battlefield.
This is not the situation of being completely surrounded and at a disadvantage on the battlefield like before. The Uchiha currently in a very favorable position, and there is absolutely no need for them to do something that would cut off their own escape route.
However, given that he was a user of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Takashi, as the clan leader, had to go and see him, no matter what.
"Where is the owner of that Mangekyō Sharingan? Take me there!" Uchiha Takashi asked the clansman, "That's the Mangekyō Sharingan! Nurture it well, and it will surely become a pillar of our Uchiha Clan in the future!"
The Uchiha clansman nodded, then immediately stepped forward to lead the way, but halfway there he suddenly turned back. "Clan leader, it's not him, it's her, she's a girl."
Uchiha Takashi's expression didn't change upon hearing this. In his eyes, girls and boys were the same; weren't they all the same?
Soon, the two arrived at the home of the Mangekyō Sharingan user.
"This is it. This is a room the clan arranged for her," the Uchiha clan member said, leading Uchiha Takashi into a house and pointing to a room.
Uchiha Takashi looked at the house and nodded. He recognized it; it was a housing area he had specifically designated after taking over the position of Third Elder.
Its main function is to provide housing for orphans who have lost their families, but unlike orphanages, it does not have unified management.
The system in operation is more like a post-demolition compensation program, where housing is allocated, a monthly payment is given, and then the work is basically left unattended.
The main issue was that the Uchiha at the time simply couldn't manage everything; there were too many orphans within the clan, and the Uchiha also faced immense pressure from the Senju Clan outside.
The family's entire focus was on dealing with external threats, leaving them little time to care for the orphans within the family. Therefore, this was the only way to ensure the orphans survived.
Just as the two reached the door, it was suddenly pulled open, revealing a petite girl with unusually pale skin.
The girl had long hair that cascaded down her back, but due to neglect and malnutrition, it was in poor condition and looked messy.
But this did not detract from the girl's ethereal beauty; her face was small, about the size of a palm, and her jawline still retained a childlike roundness, though only slightly rounded, and upon closer inspection, traces of malnutrition could still be seen.
The girl had thin, light eyebrows and long, narrow eyes, typical of the Uchiha lineage.
However, Uchiha Takashi was not amazed by the girl's appearance. After all, most girls in the Uchiha Clan looked like this; it was considered a normal level of attractiveness.
The Uchiha was focused on why the girl showed signs of malnutrition; he gave the Uchiha clansman a cold look.
The Uchiha clansman trembled. "Clan leader, please don't look at me! I don't know why either."
"Who are you? Why are you at my doorstep?" A timid voice interrupted their staring contest.
Uchiha Takashi then withdrew his gaze from the person he wanted to kill, and looked at the girl with a gentle gaze, saying, "My name is Uchiha Takashi. What's yours? What's your name?"
The girl looked at Uchiha Takashi, feeling the name sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place where she'd heard it before. Unable to recall, she decided to answer the question first.
"My name is Uchiha Hikari, I'm seven years old, and I currently live in..."
Uchiha Takashi listened to Uchiha Hikari's long self-introduction with a smile on his face, his expression seemingly unchanged, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil.
Uchiha Hikari! It's actually Uchiha Hikari!
