Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Plans for the Future

In the evening, after visiting the Great Elder, Uchiha Yoichi listened to Elder Uchiha Kenji's recent suggestions before heading home.

According to Uchiha Kenji, this time Uchiha Yoichi's counterattack was extremely fierce, almost like someone stabbing him, and then Uchiha Yoichi pulling Danzo's entire family over to be stabbed to death one by one.

In the afternoon, just as the Security Team caught the second batch of people from the Shimura Family, the Anbu sent over the mastermind of 'colluding with Hidden Rock Ninja' from the Shimura Family, who was an elder in charge of the Shimura Family's business, presumably the one actively taking the blame and admitting the mistake.

This person stood up to admit it, and with all evidence already submitted by the Anbu, the Security Team could no longer pursue the Shimura Family to continue catching people.

Only over thirty of them were caught this time, but these thirty people Danzo couldn't rescue, the first batch caught by Uchiha Yoichi were already nailed down, and the second batch caught by the Security Team could be nailed down at any moment.

Meanwhile, Danzo was stripped of the position of Hokage Assistant due to inadequate supervision and is currently reflecting behind closed doors.

However, Uchiha Kenji told Uchiha Yoichi that this matter wouldn't end so simply, as he had already inquired about the Shimura Family's businesses outside, and from now on, they wouldn't have any businesses.

Simply put, the Shimura Family relies solely on Danzo, and without the power conferred by the village, Danzo wouldn't have such intimidating influence, at most he's just a Wind Escape adept ninja.

Recently, Uchiha Yoichi also needs to keep a low profile, this is Uchiha Kenji's advice to him.

Without the catalyst of war, unless Uchiha Yoichi can frequently accomplish missions like the Konoha White Fang and leave a profound impression on enemies with the White Fang Short Blade, it's hard to make a name in the Ninja World.

Moreover, Uchiha Yoichi's strength is somewhat lacking; relying on the Sharingan and Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he can handle some Special Jonin; but against elite Jonin without any weaknesses, it's a bit challenging.

"Lord Yoichi, you've returned...."

Returning home, Uchiha Yoichi sees Uzumaki Minami welcoming him at the door.

It is then that Uchiha Yoichi notices his house is a bit small, not paying much attention yesterday due to planning matters regarding the Shimura Family.

"Hmm, thank you, the house is very clean."

Sitting at the table, Uchiha Yoichi asks, as Uzumaki Minami appropriately brings out dinner.

It's grilled lamb chops and stewed lamb soup, this Magic Meat Sheep indeed lives up to its description, the meat is incredibly tender, even grilled lamb chops have an indescribable softness and savoriness.

Moreover, shortly after eating this lamb, there's a clear warmth rising from the lower abdomen, filling the body with energy.

No wonder the Second Elder talks about it incessantly, after eating it, Uchiha Yoichi wants to eat it every day, especially after training all morning; having a meal of this lamb at noon provides abundant energy for training in the afternoon.

Uzumaki Minami shakes her head and says, "It's not tiring, it's much more relaxed here than in Grass Village."

"You can also receive a subsidy in the future, two hundred thousand per month, it's for your personal use, as for anything needed at home, you just take it from the savings book, no need to save money....."

"No need, as long as Lord Yoichi can take me in...."

"Taking you in is because I value your abilities, but you should still get the deserved reward, you should receive returns for your efforts; besides, I don't lack money, so let's keep it that way."

Right now, Uchiha Yoichi isn't short of money at all, that task in the Land of Grass earlier, he and Kakashi took about eighty million from the Iwata Family, along with jewelry and gold worth over ten million.

The total haul approaching one hundred million, finally Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi split it forty-sixty.

Originally, Uchiha Yoichi intended to split it fifty-fifty, but Kakashi felt the captain should get a bit more, so they finalized at forty-sixty.

With over fifty million, including what Uchiha Yoichi had saved before, it's about sixty million; even if spent lavishly, it's enough for him to spend until he's sixty years old.

Though sixty million is a lot, compared to what Uchiha Yoichi wants to do, it's still a drop in the bucket.

After leaving the Second Elder, Uchiha Yoichi confirmed the idea in his heart, he wants to become the Clan Leader of the Uchiha Race; otherwise, Uchiha Fugaku naturally occupies the moral high ground, he doesn't like Uchiha Fugaku's approach, conflicts will intensify, possibly leading to rebellion as the only outcome.

Frankly speaking, rebellion isn't a very good choice.

Leaving Konoha means first facing the pursuit of Konoha, and none of the other Great Ninja Villages are likely to accept a Traitorous Ninja; in that case, only small countries remain, but what's the use of going to small countries?

Uchiha Yoichi isn't like Orochimaru, a research-type ninja, to rebel and develop forces in small countries is really exchanging a watermelon for a sesame seed.

Staying in Konoha, with Uchiha Kenji offering resources and shelter, he can also help solve problems, but once he rebels, he loses everything.

If no force is established, rebellion would mean becoming a Wandering Ninja, even more miserable in the Ninja World.

That's why Uchiha Yoichi accepts Uchiha Kenji's persuasion, stepping towards the path of Clan Leader.

Though, regarding winning the affection of the clansmen, Uchiha Yoichi holds a different perspective.

It's simply about enhancing the clansmen's sense of happiness, in the Uchiha Race, there are surely ordinary clansmen in addition to ninja.

After living in this race for a year since arriving in the Ninja World, Uchiha Yoichi is also quite familiar with the clan's attitude towards ordinary clansmen.

Families with ninja casualties receive substantial compensation, help can be requested from the clan when needed, orphans attending the Ninja Academy receive subsidies, but these end after graduation.

As for ordinary clansmen, they all have jobs, and can seek help from the clan in difficulties, but that's about it.

All welfare is thus, speaking of good it isn't outstanding, but definitely better than Konoha orphans.

Uchiha Yoichi thinks using fame and power to gain the support of clansmen is too superficial, without tangible support.

Better to use a comprehensive internal welfare system to win hearts, even ordinary clansmen can receive a pension once they're older, no longer worrying about expenses.

Within the clan, the ninja receive better treatment, which extends to their families; Genin as one tier, Chunin as one tier, Jonin covers the whole family for three generations with lifelong benefits.

Without saying anything else, just establishing this welfare system within the clan will make every clansman say thank you whenever they see him.

The only difficulty is finding a business generating continuous revenue, but Uchiha Yoichi feels it's not that hard.

After traveling outside the village twice, he has some understanding of the Ninja World.

Technological development in the Ninja World is quite decent, modern appliances are all present, even TVs and bulky computers exist.

If talking about money-making projects, just creating that card-collecting game from Boruto in advance would earn continuously; also, in the field of medical pharmaceuticals, it's a cash cow.

Konoha's medical facilities are the most advanced in the Ninja World, but medicines are still semi-artificially formulated, and health products are almost nonexistent, all medical development solely serves war purposes.

Creating that would be extremely profitable, though Uchiha Yoichi feels he needs to have a chat with the Second Elder.
