The legend of Fifth Uchiha - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Clan Building

When World War II was in full swing, many ninja families in Konoha were grief-stricken because of the sacrifice of their family members.

In the Uchiha territory, many people were still in the mood to sing and dance.

The Uchiha clan controlled the guards and did not have to leave the village to participate in the ninja war. This was very unfair to many ninja clans and civilian families.

If someone were to lead the discussion, I’m afraid Uchiha would immediately be envied and resented.

Naraku noticed all this, but the power in the tribe has not yet been taken back. Although he has the title of tribe leader, he is only a figurehead in name only. There are still two big mountains above Naraku.

The Uchiha Clan Hall was built very quickly. In the ninja world, many things can be solved with ninjutsu. Jōnin are also very strong and can lift things quickly.

In just a few days, the clan hall was built. In front of the clan hall stood a large stone with the Uchiha fan logo on it, indicating that this was an important building in the Uchiha clan.

Naraku sat in the clan leader’s office, feeling somewhat relaxed. The office next to it was the elders’ room, where the chief elder was working next to it.

The Great Elder controls the clan’s funds, with a total of 2 billion taels under his control. An A-level task can only earn a maximum of 1 million taels, and there is no upper limit for S-level tasks.

The funds of the Great Elder can issue at least 2,000 A-level tasks.

Of course, this is impossible. To serve the family, you need money? Isn’t that an obligation?

Currently, Naraku’s only right-hand men are Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Lietu, Uchiha Ken, two Jōnin and one Chūnin.

“The Clan Affairs Office has been built, and the relevant departments need to be established. The departments below the office are called the Institutes. The Uchiha Fist and Clan Affairs Defense are under the responsibility of the Guard Institute. I will leave it to you.

Our family has thousands of people. We need to recruit 20 to 30 clan members as guards. No one in Konoha dares to provoke Uchiha. We don’t need powerful ninjas. You can just recruit and set up sentries to guard the area. I will ask the Great Elder to give you the funds.”

“As for the remuneration, it’s 20,000 to 50,000 ryo per person per month, calculated based on C- or D-level missions. 200,000 to 500,000 ryo per month for 10 people. With this amount of money, we don’t need outstanding ninjas to defend the clan. In Konoha, no one will dare to provoke the Uchiha.”

Naraku continued, “Uchiha Lietu, you are in charge of the cleaning and craftsman yards. You can recruit ordinary tribesmen. These small things don’t require ninjas. The reward is 10,000 to 30,000 ryo per month. Remember, just recruit ordinary tribesmen!”

“Yashiro, you are responsible for managing the Office. The employees of the Office are clerks, responsible for collecting commissions from ninjas in the clan, and supervising orphanages, nursing homes and the like.”

“This is a busy task.

Yashiro, you are careful and attentive.

You should be in charge of this matter for the benefit of the tribe! The Office of Affairs needs to recruit many clerks and financial specialists.

You will be in charge of recruiting up to ten people.

You don’t have to recruit ninjas.

Ordinary tribe members will do.

The mission reward is also 20,000 to 50,000 taels per month.”

“Let those ordinary people have a bite to eat instead of relying on us. Maybe some of our descendants will not be suitable to be ninjas.”

Naraku said softly. In all departments, except for the Ninjutsu Institute which needs elite ninjas, and the Guard Institute which needs ordinary ninjas, other departments hardly need Jōnins.

The construction of the Tribal Affairs Hall was completed quickly, and all that remained was to recruit personnel and manpower.

The original power of the great elder will be weakened through the construction of the clan affairs office.

All clan members will go to the clan affairs office to hand over tasks and funds.

Apart from holding funds, the other influences of the great elder will be gradually weakened, which will help to return power to the clan affairs office and the clan leader.

In the early days, Naraku roughly divided clan affairs into the following departments:

Affairs Office: Manage the household registration of clan members, register the information of family ninjas, collect commissions, provide pensions to clan members, manage finances, and manage several other departments, especially the nursing home, orphanage, and ninjutsu academy.

Guard House: Security department. No need for powerful ninjas. No one in Konoha dares to challenge the Uchiha. They just need to stand guard on duty.

Cleaning the House: Clean the streets within the tribe and help the tribe members clean their houses when necessary.

Craftsmen’s House: Build some houses and help the tribesmen repair their furniture.

Nursing homes: Elderly people who have lost their children will be cared for by nursing homes.

Orphanage: Orphans who have lost their parents and relatives will be raised by an orphanage.

Ninjutsu Academy: The place where the family’s ninjas learn ninjutsu and also provide experience teaching on the use of Sharingan.

Assistant Council: The former Uchiha elders serve as assistants, with the right to make suggestions and manage certain affairs.

Of these, the Administrative Office has the greatest power and responsibility and handles the most affairs. Of course, with greater power comes greater responsibility.

Many departments do not need ninjas as their staff, ordinary tribesmen will do. This also solves the employment problem for ordinary tribesmen and tribesmen with poor ninja talents.

The ninjas of the clan handed over their commissions, gradually moving from the old elders’ house to the current clan affairs office. Slowly changing their habits, the funds were gathered in the clan affairs office.

In the original Uchiha ecosystem, there were multiple elders in charge, and each elder was the core figure of each family. It was equivalent to multiple Uchiha elders, or Uchiha family heads, forming a family called Uchiha. The chief elder was the one who made the decisions.

But in reality, every elder does not know how many Uchiha people there are and how many ninjas there are. They only know that Uchiha is very strong and is a big clan with a thousand-year heritage.

Now that the chief elder has apparently handed over power to Uchiha Naraku, Uchiha has pioneered many clan affairs that are all-encompassing, and has indeed allowed the elders who originally only pushed for the so-called leader to join in the construction of the clan affairs hall.

Especially with the establishment of the Assistant Council, all elders are assistants to the clan leader. The so-called elders’ rights are still there, but there is only an elected clan leader added above.

Uchiha Naraku’s various constructions and proposals were supported by the Uchiha elders, allowing the construction and recruitment of the Tribal Affairs Office to be completed at an extremely fast speed.

…

One month later

“Yashiro, do we in Uchiha have 853 ninjas of all ranks? A total of 1,231 households and 2,565 people?”

“Yes, clan leader.” Uchiha Yashiro has been very busy recently, recruiting and counting. More than a month of 007 has made Yashiro very tired. The so-called 996 is not enough to describe Uchiha Yashiro’s work.

“If we count three people per household, there are more than 3,000 people in 1,231 households, but there are only 2,565 people.

Obviously there are many lonely elderly people and orphans.

After we investigate them, we must arrange for them to be placed in Uchiha orphanages and nursing homes.

Their relatives are all heroes of our Uchiha, and also heroes of Konoha.”

“Yes!” Yashiro was convinced by Naraku’s management. Many things that were neglected before were taken care of comprehensively under Naraku’s management, without missing a single person.

Many Uchiha Chūnin Genin, especially the lower-level ninjas who have lost their loved ones, go to the Ninjutsu Institute, where Jōnin teach them ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, swordsmanship, and shurikenjutsu.

Seeing Naraku’s high execution ability, the chief elder and many other elders are willing to give up their power and work hard in the auxiliary office of the Tribal Affairs Office.

Although he was the elder of his own family before, he could only manage his own nephews and younger generations. Small factions consisted of only a few families, while large factions, such as the elders’ faction, consisted of hundreds of families.

The chief elders were willing to hand over their power, and the other junior elders were not reluctant to give up their power, and enthusiastically built the clan affairs hall for the glory of Uchiha.
