With Uchiha Takashi's order issued, the entire Uchiha Clan began reforms at top speed.
The Uchiha's strengths include a strong, unwavering leadership style and exceptional execution. Because everyone knows they lack real strength, they are generally self-aware and unlikely to object.
Aside from the clan chief and elders, the other three core officials have been selected.
Tatsu Uchiha served as the clan affairs officer, Kyō Uchiha served as the criminal affairs officer, Yukimichi Uchiha served as the military affairs officer.
Although Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha were both senior members and had already retired, Uchiha Takashi still rehired them.
Unfortunately, the Uchiha Clan is severely lacking in manpower. Although Fū Uchiha is capable of serving as a clan affairs officer, he is currently the head of the Uchiha Village and also holds the position of elder.
The Uchiha Village needs Fū Uchiha, so the clan affairs officer position can only be entrusted to the experienced Tatsu Uchiha.
However, as expected, the Uchiha Clan is ultimately not good at this, and it's too late to train them now.
We had no choice but to force the issue, and as a last resort, we tried everything, which resulted in quite a few problems.
The inexperienced officials, having lost the elders' assistance, found themselves in utter chaos when handling affairs.
This caused constant chaos within the Uchiha Clan's territory, which greatly annoyed Uchiha Takashi.
The reason why the clan's territory was in such chaos was largely due to the Uchiha Village.
The Uchiha Village needed some officials, so Uchiha Takashi specifically transferred a group of Uchiha clan members skilled in handling grassroots government affairs to serve in these positions.
This resulted in those remaining within the Uchiha Clan Compound lacking administrative skills, which is one of the main reasons for the increase in documents.
Especially after the reforms, with the decentralization of responsibility and power, and the need for independent handling of matters, the inadequacy of their administrative processing capabilities has become even more apparent.
Watching this group run amok, Uchiha Takashi frowned deeply, and the thought of recalling all the administrative members of the Uchiha Village involuntarily popped into his mind.
However, the Uchiha Village is a core part of their Uchiha plan; if they bring everyone back, what will happen to the village?
Uchiha Takashi had no choice but to abandon this idea, deciding to grit his teeth and endure the period until those people became more proficient in handling government affairs; everything would then be alright.
However, just as he finalized his idea, good news arrived.
As is well known, in the Shinobi World, various noble families like to take in people as retainers, and these retainers are often more reliable than the nobles' own family members.
The Fujiwara Clan was no exception; as one of the three great noble families of the Land of Fire, they naturally had some members as retainers.
However, a large portion of these people were killed during the Uchiha purge, because they were loyal to Fujiwara no Suke, the Suke Fujiwara of the Fujiwara Family, not to the branch Kai Fujiwara.
But the good news is that a group of people claiming to be retainers of the Kai Fujiwara have arrived.
Uchiha Takashi looked at the clansman who had come to deliver the message and asked, "Can you confirm his identity?"
The clansman who had informed them nodded. "They produced identification documents, and Miss Tsukina Fujiwara has confirmed that they were left by her father."
So there shouldn't be any problem with their identities. However, just to be on the safe side, we've kept them separate from Miss Tsukina Fujiwara.
Uchiha Takashi nodded. "Well done. So where are these people now?"
The Uchiha clansman said, "Since these people came to us, we've taken them into the Uchiha Village, and they're currently in the place we arranged."
Uchiha Takashi lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He knew that Kai Fujiwara wouldn't leave nothing behind. As his only daughter, Kai Fujiwara simply sent her away?
Uchiha Takashi had already harbored doubts about this, and now his suddenly revealed identity has completely sealed the deal.
Kai Fujiwara not only left behind a fortune, but also, while sending people away, he left behind loyal retainers to assist him.
This way, Tsukina Fujiwara can survive in this chaotic world and not die.
As for how this group approached the Uchiha, is it even a question? The reason the Uchiha seized all of the Fujiwara Family's assets is because Tsukina Fujiwara was with them.
These courtiers aren't stupid; a little inquiry would easily lead them to the Uchiha. The Uchiha have never hidden Tsukina Fujiwara's intentions.
On the contrary, they wished everyone knew that Tsukina Fujiwara was with the Uchiha, so they could openly and legitimately seize their wealth.
As for concerns about assassination, that's a joke! The Uchiha Clan protects them perfectly; how could they possibly allow an assassination to succeed? The Uchiha Clan is confident in that!
Uchiha Takashi's mind raced, and suddenly his thoughts aligned with his earlier ideas.
Wasn't he complaining about the lack of personnel for clan administration? But he was also struggling because the Uchiha Village needed manpower and he couldn't bring people back.
Aren't these Fujiwara Family retainers just there to deliver a pillow to his head?
In Uchiha Takashi's eyes, these subjects all had the words "oxen and horses" written all over their foreheads!
These people have all become officials; how could they be completely incapable of handling government affairs? Why not just send them to the Uchiha Village and then bring the Uchiha people back?
Uchiha Takashi found the idea increasingly feasible. After all, the Uchiha Village's initial plan was to create a hodgepodge, and the Uchiha would only need to control the law enforcement and oversight departments.
As for other rights, there's absolutely no need for them to be held by the Uchiha clan; they can be given to other clans as well.
Not to mention that this wasn't even for other major families, but for a retainer of the Fujiwara Family who was now reduced to just one person.
However, whether these people are truly willing to pledge allegiance to the Uchiha remains to be seen by Uchiha Takashi, but he has plenty of ways to get them to agree.
After all, their master is still in my hands; what leverage do these people have to negotiate with me?
Uchiha Village, Tsukina Fujiwara's Residence
Since rescuing Tsukina Fujiwara Tsukina Fujiwara, she has been living in a relatively large house in the village.
After all, she was a great contributor who rightfully obtained so much money for the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha Clan wouldn't be so cruel as to betray her after using her and then bully such a young girl.
Tsukina Fujiwara continued to be well-fed and cared for in the Uchiha Village, and her living conditions remained largely unchanged from before.
The only possibility is that he suffered from emotional deprivation, given the loss of his mother and father; however, this is quite common within the Uchiha Clan.
Orphans are the least of their kind in the Uchiha Clan, especially among the elite members who awakened their Sharingan. Few of their families died. How did he awaken his Sharingan?
