This Uchiha is too popular

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the ledger and carefully examined it, somewhat skeptical.

The information that appeared before his eyes left him dumbfounded.

The ledger contained a complete list of all members of the Uchiha clan, detailing the assets of each household.

Some of them even wrote down exactly what ninja tools they had at home and how much savings they had.

Its information is more complete than the ledgers held by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Goodness, they came prepared.

"This ledger..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Yuuki in front of him, somewhat puzzled: "Where did you come from?"

Even he, as the Hokage, didn't have such detailed ledgers. Where did Yu Ming, a mere child, get them from?

"This was left to me by my father."

Yu Ming replied matter-of-factly, "My father is the head of the Uchiha clan, so it's reasonable for him to have such an account book, isn't it?"

This is a lie.

If Fugaku cared about the Uchiha clan members to this extent, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Most of the information in this ledger was collected by Youming himself.

Within the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha was the clan head and held great power.

And he was completely unguarded against Youming.

Through Fugaku, Yumin gained a thorough understanding of the Uchiha clan's situation over the past two years.

He knew exactly how many people were in each family and what assets they had.

The reason I've done so much is for this very moment.

"Was it left behind by Fugaku?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then promised, "I will arrange for people to prepare, and these things will be transferred to your name soon."

"In addition to these physical assets, there are also savings belonging to the Uchiha clan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "What are your thoughts on these savings?"

The subtext of his question was whether there were any account books.

If you have an account book, you can just take it out and check the accounts one by one at the deposit office, which will save you a lot of trouble.

"Regarding my savings, I hope to donate most of them to Konoha, and only keep 30% so that my brother and I can continue to live."

Yu Ming said, "This is also to express our gratitude to the village and to sponsor the hunt for Uchiha Itachi. After all, without the village, my brother and I would not be alive, let alone able to take revenge on Uchiha Itachi."

Donation?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised by Yumino's words.

Just a moment ago he seemed so stingy with money, how come he suddenly donated most of his savings?

The majority of the Uchiha clan's savings—that's no small sum.

If this money were used as a bounty, it would be enough to cover the rewards for many S-rank missions.

"This is to express our gratitude for the village's support."

Meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, Yumei's expression was sincere: "No matter what, our Uchiha clan is a part of Konoha. Now that Konoha is pursuing the enemies who harmed our Uchiha clan, we naturally want to do our part."

His expression was sincere; he was clearly a genuine child.

Of course, that's not actually the case.

The reason for preferring assets to savings is simply due to cost-effectiveness.

The assets are there, whether they're buildings or land; they're there and can't be moved.

But when it comes to savings, there are many ways to manipulate things.

In this era, there were no banks, but there were institutions like depository depositories where you could deposit cash and withdraw it by presenting a receipt.

That's exactly where the problem lies.

If it's just receipts from her own home, Yuming naturally has them; she prepared them well in advance.

But where is he going to get the entire Uchiha clan's savings certificate?

If the deposit slip cannot be produced, there will be many points of contention.

To some extent, this has become a bad debt.

Instead of wasting so much effort arguing and trying to get the money back, it would be better to just transfer this bad debt to Konoha and sell it.

How much money you want is up to you, just give me three-tenths of it.

This is another form of protection money.

After all, being stingy with every penny is not a good habit.

"I understand about the donations and support for the village."

Looking at Yumei's sincere face, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "I have felt your support for the village."

"Yuming, what are your dreams for the future?"

He looked at Yu Ming in front of him and asked, "The Uchiha clan has a considerable amount of inheritance. What do you plan to do with this money?"

Among the Uchiha brothers before him, Sasuke, the older brother, wore his hatred on his face, and Hiruzen Sarutobi knew without asking what he wanted to do.

However, Yu Ming in front of him behaved completely differently from Sasuke.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very curious about Yumino's thoughts and wanted to know what he was thinking about the future.

"I want to live a quiet life within Konoha."

Yu Ming spoke up: "The Uchiha clan cannot be extinct in our hands. If we want to revitalize the Uchiha clan, we need to have more children."

"I want to live in Konoha with the Uchiha's legacy, get married, have many children, and strengthen the Uchiha clan in my own way."

"Oh?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi became interested: "Marrying multiple wives and having many children? Not a bad idea."

"Go for it! I'm really looking forward to the day when the Uchiha clan can once again thrive in Konoha."

Yu Ming's idea was right up Hiruzen Sarutobi's alley.

He also did not want the powerful Sharingan bloodline to die out within Konoha.

If Yumin can, as he said, marry and have children in Konoha as much as possible in the future, he will surely be able to bring the Sharingan back to Konoha one day.

Moreover, after the purge of the clan, the newly reborn Uchiha clan will no longer have the same problems as before.

With proper guidance, they can become a new force in Konoha's future.

He couldn't help but offer a few words of encouragement to Youming, telling her to put aside her worries and just do what she wanted.

A moment later, Yu Ming and Sasuke left.

"Danzo, what do you think?"

After the two left, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked towards the shadows to the side.

There, an old man emerged from within.

"Uchiha Sasuke, a little brat whose heart is filled with nothing but hatred, not worth mentioning."

Danzo Shimura said calmly, "His younger brother, however, is rather interesting."

"The Sharingan is a powerful bloodline limit. If it can be preserved, it would be best to preserve it for the village."

"Oh?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised: "This isn't like you."

"I thought you wouldn't want the Sharingan to return."

"What I despise is merely the Uchiha clan of the past."

Danzo Shimura spoke up: "As for the Sharingan, it is just a powerful tool, and it is not important in itself. The key is who controls it."
