Chapter 96 - Chapter 87: Uchiha Welfare System

When he returned, Uchiha Yoichi used a Shadow Clone and perception to check in advance, making sure Tsunade wasn't there, only then did he dare to come back.

Otherwise, he feared the first thing he'd see upon entering would be Tsunade's fist.

Uzumaki Minami wasn't home; it seemed she had gone to the medical team. But she had taken leave today... probably feeling embarrassed to meet after this morning's incident.

"This Enchanting Demon Body is too crazy, its deadly effect on women is too strong."

Even Tsunade couldn't handle it, how many in the Ninja World are stronger than Tsunade? Going further up the list, it's probably Princess Kaguya's turn.

Just not sure if it works on non-human females?

If it does, Uchiha Yoichi's first choice would undoubtedly be that loli snake from Ryuchi Cave, Ichikishimahime.

But there's no rush; after all, the ability lasts for about a month.

"Is Mr. Yoichi home?"

As Uchiha Yoichi was contemplating, someone suddenly knocked on the door and called out from outside.

When Uchiha Yoichi got to the door, he saw it was a member of the Security Team under Uchiha Masato, seemingly named Uchiha Rento.

Upon seeing Uchiha Yoichi, Uchiha Rento respectfully said, "Mr. Yoichi, the Second Elder asked me to inform you that there's a clan meeting at Nankai Shrine today at nine o'clock. There will be many attendees this time; all the small team leaders from the Security Team will attend, and the elders also want you to be ready."

"I understand, thank you for your hard work, Senior Rento."

Uchiha Yoichi nodded and said, being ready meant presenting the Uchiha Welfare System at tonight's clan meeting.

The last time, Uchiha Kenji had informed him about the population of the Uchiha Race and the number of ninjas, so Uchiha Yoichi had devised a welfare system.

After several discussions with Uchiha Kenji, they finalized this Uchiha Welfare System.

The Uchiha Race had roughly 2,500 people, including over 700 ninjas and about 1,800 ordinary people; even if a family of three were all ordinary people, an adult's monthly allowance would be 30,000 ryo, and a child 10,000 ryo.

Within the clan, there were about 100 children who had not become ninjas, plus adults and elders, welfare expenses totaled 51 million ryo.

This amount is already considerable; an ordinary family of three spends between 20,000 to 30,000 ryo a month, and Uchiha Yoichi included even the children, doubling the expenses.

Even without working, the Uchiha Welfare System could support these idle people.

But not working is impossible; the Uchiha Race takes pride in itself, and having hands and feet yet being supported by the clan, even if the clan doesn't criticize, they themselves wouldn't accept it.

At this point, Uchiha Yoichi had something to say. Whether it's the Medicine Factory or ninja games, they now need a lot of manpower; since they are idle anyway, they might as well go work there.

They'd be contributing to the clan, plus earning high wages, and the family could receive the extra benefits of the welfare system. Isn't that better than selling vegetables or sweets?

There were around 700 ninjas in the clan, about 450 Genin, and even if doing nothing every month but training, they could receive 100,000 ryo.

Chunin numbered 180, and like the Genin, aside from the Security Team's salary, without any tasks or village duties, they could still receive 500,000 ryo a month from the Uchiha Welfare System if they trained every day.

There were seventy Jonin-level clan members, who could receive 1 million ryo every month.

The welfare system proposed by Uchiha Yoichi had a fixed monthly expenditure of around 260 million ryo.

This figure is high; Konoha's annual funding from the Daimyo Mansion doesn't even reach 1 billion ryo, yet the Uchiha Welfare System needs more than 3 billion ryo a year.

Uchiha Yoichi could set the welfare standards a bit lower and gradually increase them later, easing the pressure somewhat.

However, this idea was immediately vetoed by Uchiha Kenji. Lowering the requirements would make it affordable for Uchiha Fugaku; in a close competition, many would still choose the Clan Leader.

If money is to be given, then give enough from the start. Subsequently, Uchiha Kenji also analyzed this 'proud' race with Uchiha Yoichi.

Ninety percent of the clan's pride wouldn't accept this kind of gift for nothing; after leading the Uchiha Welfare System, they would undoubtedly work harder for the clan.

Though ninja expenses are significant, the Medicine Factory and ninja games provide a stable, ongoing influx of income, more than capable of sustaining these costs.

Moreover, it's difficult to produce ninjas within the Uchiha Race; if a Three-Tomoe Jonin did indeed materialize, the additional cost would only be 900,000 ryo per month.

Spending 900,000 ryo to gain a Three-Tomoe Jonin is indeed worth it.

Can Uchiha Fugaku, as Clan Leader, produce this monthly expenditure of 260 million ryo for the welfare system?

Even risking his life to take on S-Class Tasks wouldn't suffice; if he couldn't come up with the money, he also couldn't block the implementation of the Uchiha Welfare System, otherwise, he would be going against the clan members.

Uchiha Yoichi had offered two money-making businesses, granting some benefits to the clan, yet if even this is to be obstructed, then is he really a Clan Leader of the Uchiha?

Once the Uchiha Welfare System is established, Uchiha Yoichi could seize the clan's military and weaponry business under this momentum.

If the Clan Leader can't bring any benefits to the clan members, why monopolize the military and weaponry business? Better to hand it to someone capable.

At that time, when the Uchiha Welfare System is implemented, even the Peace Faction, having accepted the benefits proposed by Uchiha Yoichi, wouldn't have grounds to raise objections.
