Everyone in the Uchiha Clan is a person of their word; Kyō Uchiha said he would submit the data soon, so it's highly likely it will arrive very soon.
As expected, less than an incense stick's time after Kyō Uchiha left the office, an Uchiha clansman arrived with data.
"Clan leader, here is the data you requested. Lord Kuang has gone to recall the ninjas who are on missions elsewhere, so I'm delivering the data myself."
Uchiha Takashi nodded, then opened the data.
The Uchiha clan currently has over 1400 active ninja, of whom over 60 have the Mitsudomoe, over 300 have the Futatsudomoe, and nearly 500 have the Single Tomoe. The rest are ninja who have not yet awakened their Sharingan.
To be honest, the number of people who awakened their Sharingan was relatively small. During the most brutal period of the war, the percentage of the Uchiha Clan who awakened their Sharingan reached an astonishing 99%, meaning almost everyone awakened it.
At that time, the entire Uchiha Clan was mobilized for war, but that only happened when the clan faced the threat of annihilation.
The current situation of the Uchiha Clan Uchiha Clan be judged by the percentage of members who have awakened the Sharingan Sharingan. The lower the percentage, the better the situation, and the weaker the Uchiha is.
The higher the percentage of people who awaken the Sharingan, the more complex and critical the situation.
The better the Uchiha's situation becomes, the Uchiha they become; the weaker Uchiha become, the worse Uchiha situation becomes; as Uchiha situation worsens, they awaken the Sharingan Uchiha, becoming Uchiha, and their Uchiha improves again.
In summary, the weaker the Uchiha, the stronger the Uchiha.
Hey, that was just a joke. Let's get back to the main topic. Excluding clan ninjas, what's left are non-clan ninjas.
The later additions of Chinoike and Shimura brought the total number of ninjas to around 500, with the majority being Chinoike ninjas.
If we calculate it using another method, then the number of registered ninjas possessed by the Uchiha Clan would be different.
Jonin, Chunin 1300 Chunin, Genin 500 Genin, totaling nearly 2000 people.
Uchiha Takashi looked at this data and pondered for a long time. He had originally planned to design military ranks and an army based on modern military systems.
However, considering that the current era and global context were not suitable, he ultimately decided to redesign it by modeling it after the modern military system.
Thus, the Uchiha Military System was born. If the previous distinction Jonin, Chunin, Genin was based on strength, then under the Uchiha Military System, this was a division of military ranks.
Genin are the lowest rank, equivalent to ordinary soldiers. Next are Chunin, who become officers. Then come Elite Chunin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, and finally, Kage.
Because the military system in this world is so different from modern ones, forcibly changing it would be too complicated, and if the subordinates couldn't adapt, it would weaken combat power in the short term. Therefore Uchiha Takashi ultimately chose to accept reality.
The three-person teams, modeled after those of Konoha, consist of three genin (Genin) and are the weakest. They are generally only responsible for loading, unloading, and safe transport. Chunin ninja) are usually the team leaders.
Three Chunin form a squad, which is the basic combat squad. In addition to the three Chunin, there is an Elite Chunin as the squad leader.
This is the most basic combat unit in the Uchiha Military System, which is also the most common squad in battle.
Upon reaching the Jonin, one becomes a company commander with several subordinate squads. The exact number and structure depend on the specific circumstances. For example, if the company is actually a transport company, then besides a basic Chunin combat squad, the others are mostly Genin squads.
Elite Jonin, these are the captains. Subordinates are organized into companies and squads based on specific circumstances. Some squads may be directly subordinate to the captain, but ultimately, the division is based on the actual situation.
Finally, there's the Shadow rank, which is equivalent to a general in the modern military system, the well-known rank of general.
This rank is higher than that of a battalion commander. It typically corresponds to a regional commander or deputy commander, and could also be a key combat force leader.
After all, this is the Warring States period, so it's quite reasonable to have generals who fit the style of ancient warfare.
The Uchiha Military System designed by Uchiha Takashi had a clear path to advancement, namely the military merit system, which had withstood the test of thousands of years!
This merit-based system is the most important and clearly defined path for advancement in the military.
At this point, the Uchiha Military System is almost complete. This was mainly to align with the current military system and prevent drastic changes to the military system from causing chaos within the army.
This is also to fit the current era's context. After all, it's a world of extraordinary beings where everyone's strength differs. The resulting system of upper, middle, Genin is a mature military system developed in this world, defined by strength, making it simple and easy to understand.
So Uchiha Takashi applied this system to the modern military system without a second thought, simply changing the name and reducing the number of ranks.
However, this only pertains to the military system for ninjas. If we're talking about samurai, then modern military ranks would still be quite useful.
For the rest of the day, Uchiha Takashi stayed in his office organizing the ninjas brought in by Kyō Uchiha into squads and then assigning them ranks according to their existing positions.
Then Uchiha Takashi also designed the insignia for military ranks. Rank insignia are very important; at the very least, they allow people to immediately recognize a person's strength and rank on the battlefield.
The rank insignia were placed on the arm of the uniform by Chiha Ten, specifically on the shoulder strap.
The rank insignia of Genin is a single Gunbai symbol.
The Chunin's emblem has an additional cloud compared to the Genin's, located directly below the Gunbai.
The Elite Chunin, under the cover of clouds, transformed their Gunbai into a double image, making it appear as two Gunbai.
The Jonin added a small Shuriken the Gunbai, positioned in the very center.
Elite Jonin wield two Shuriken, not as double images, but as two gleaming blades.
Finally, there was the unique rank insignia for the Kage. Uchiha Takashi thought for a long time, but really couldn't think of anything to add to the design.
Finally, they had to add a knife on top. This knife was inserted into the Gunbai, pierced through the clouds, and lay horizontally in the very center.
Looking at the design he had created, Uchiha Takashi nodded in satisfaction. It was indeed very cool! Feeling smug, he believed he had a talent for this kind of thing.
After showing the designed pattern to Uchiha Sei and Kyō Uchiha, the two gave it high praise. Hearing their compliments, Uchiha Takashi became even more arrogant.
Just as he was wondering if he had an artistic talent and shouldn't redesign the Uchiha clan uniform, he suddenly remembered an art student whose uniform design was beautiful, but ultimately a failure.
Uchiha Takashi shook his head repeatedly. Forget it, he'd rather forgo this talent and focus on practical skills.
(I used AI to render the rank insignia; it just needs to be legible.)
