Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

Uchiha Shisui was such a pure person.

The tribesmen were clearly moved by Jiang Si's words, and after a few minutes of silence, the quiet and cold atmosphere dissipated.

"Jiang Si, we believe in you!"

After someone spoke up.

"We believe you will lead us to justice for our people!"

"General! You said it yourself!"

What followed were a series of words, each one sounding harsh and menacing.

But Jiang Si, who knew the personalities of his own people best, also showed a gentle smile at this moment, nodded firmly and said, "Ah, this is my promise!"

At dusk.

The afterglow of the setting sun pours down.

The shadows were cast long on the departed members of the clan.

The clan arrived at Iwagakure Village at around 10 a.m.

The subsequent arrangements, and the return of Tsukasa and Fugaku from their visit to Onoki, were followed by a high-level meeting of the clan.

When all these matters are concluded.

Night was about to fall.

Shoji stepped out from the main house of Fugaku and looked at the last rays of the setting sun not far away.

For a full two weeks.

Jiang Si's tense nerves finally relaxed a lot.

155. The Next Stage

Shisui followed closely behind, walking straight to Shoji's side. Seeing Shoji's somewhat surprised expression, Shisui said in a very serious tone, "Thank you, Shoji!"

This unexpected thank you.

Jiang Si was taken aback at first, then realized what was going on. He could roughly guess some of Shi Shui's thoughts. Jiang Si shook his head with a smile and said, "Shi Shui, you don't need to be like this. You should know that I'm not doing this for you, nor am I saying I'm choosing to forgive Konoha. It's just a judgment and advice made after considering the current situation. From the moment I left Konoha, I made up my mind that I will lead my clan to get back everything that was lost that day. This is my goal, and it is my determination!"

"Although I generally don't take action against ordinary people or unrelated individuals, the existence of 'Konoha' itself, as well as people like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, are definitely on my blacklist and the blacklist of everyone in my clan. So, you don't need to thank me!"

"No, this is enough, Jiang Si. I know that in your eyes, my thinking and actions may seem ridiculous and foolish, but this is my last stand. To be honest, without you, I can't imagine where our clan would have ended up. Neither I nor the clan leader would have been able to escape this vicious cycle! Although it is self-deception, this is the best outcome I can see!"

"As for the future, we'll talk about that in the future. Besides, you've already promised not to involve any unrelated people, right? I think that's enough to be true to my conscience."

Zhi Shui gave a self-deprecating laugh, his feigned calm masking the barely suppressed turmoil of his emotions, and a hint of helplessness and deep self-reproach shone through his pupils.

The most like Uchiha Kagami, yet the least like a member of the Uchiha clan.

If we're talking about personality, Shisui is actually a ninja with the style of Hashirama Senju or Jiraiya, which makes him seem so out of place in this ninja world. While these people certainly have extremely outstanding qualities and, in many ways, perfectly meet the criteria of an 'excellent ninja'!

In terms of individual strength, even the weakest of the three, Shisui, could be considered a standard Kage-level powerhouse.

However, in terms of human nature, they also have extremely contradictory conflicts with this world. 'Truth,' 'goodness,' and 'beauty' are undoubtedly the highest praise terms in any world and any era, but often, 'gentleness' and 'kindness' can be a 'cruel killing sword,' which can not only kill their companions but also potentially kill themselves.

The character Shisui in the original work is the best example. He always wanted to save his clan and protect the village's interests and interests, but in the end, he perished, and his clan was destroyed. In the end, Shisui was a failure and a fool.

However, one cannot judge a person in such a one-sided way.

At least, Shoji's feelings toward Shisui were very complicated. He could understand Shisui's thoughts, but he could not accept Shisui's philosophy. He was not a saint, and he did not want to be a saint. Most importantly, the interests of the Konoha leadership represented by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were not qualified to make him a 'so-called saint of righteousness'!

He, Uchiha Shoji, was just an ordinary person, a mortal who wanted to protect those he loved and those who loved him!

"Shisui, now that things have come to this, there's no need for anyone to look back on that meaningless past. The most important thing is to focus on the present and look to the future. You have to overcome the hurdle in your heart yourself. If you still can't accept it, then just stay away from this side of the world. At least out of sight, out of mind. There are other relevant positions that the Tsuchikage has arranged for our clan. Go there and do the things you should be doing for the rest of your life!"

Si Jian raised his eyebrows and stared intently at Uchiha Shisui before him, a bright light shining in his clear black and white pupils.

As the general spoke.

Shisui was taken aback at first, then pursed her lips, a resolute look appearing on her face. Meeting Jiang Si's earnest gaze, Shisui nodded heavily and replied, "Ah, I understand, Jiang Si. This is also my final and correct choice! I believe in you, you can definitely lead our clan onto a truly bright and righteous path!"

After speaking, Shisui gave a slight bow to Shoji before leaping away from his original spot and returning to his own position. At the clan meeting just now, the positions of the first batch of clan members were determined, including Shisui's. Unlike in Konoha, Iwagakure does not have a dedicated department entrusted to the Uchiha clan. Not to mention that the Third Tsuchikage would not do such an unwise thing.

Even if it were given...

As long as Shoji is leading the Uchiha clan, he will never allow the Uchiha to repeat the same mistakes. While his control of the Konoha Police Department is not the main reason why the Uchiha clan has been completely ostracized and isolated, it is one of the secondary reasons.

The Uchiha clan wanted to truly integrate into a ninja village.

You must learn to be 'ordinary', 'balanced', and slightly 'low-key'!

The Uchiha clan has the right to join any 'legitimate department' in Iwagakure, such as the logistics department, sealing squad, barrier squad, patrol force, or border garrison. They can perform daily tasks, work in interrogation departments, or serve as interrogators.

This is also the 'normal treatment' that Shoji and Fugaku mentioned during their previous meeting with Onoki!

They were treated the same as all the ninja clans and common ninjas in Iwagakure.

This is the treatment the Uchiha clan wants to obtain.

At the clan meeting just now, the clan had already decided on the first batch of clan members to come out and 'work'. Of course, this was just a list, and the Uchiha clan ultimately indicated that they would follow the Tsuchikage's arrangements.

Returning a favor in return!

This is what we should do.

Both parties are still in the adjustment period, and this is a necessary 'room for compromise' between them!

They also believed that Onoki would definitely make reasonable arrangements for the 'employment issues' of their Uchiha clan. If nothing unexpected happened, these clan members who were the first to be employed would basically be able to go to their desired departments.

For example, Shisui planned to join a team as an ordinary ninja carrying out missions, or directly take on missions as a team leader!

Shoji also has his own goals, but he plans to take a look first in the next few days because he has a feeling that the Tsuchikage will have a different plan for him!

156. This is the daily life and integration they hoped for (Third update)

Because the most important thing has finally come to an end.

Back in his temporary home, Shoji could finally breathe a sigh of relief. His tension eased, and the smile on his face became much more natural. The Uchiha clan's current residence was all temporary and would continue to be built and improved. According to the previous clan meeting, a new clan residence would be built based on the clan's inherent habits and traditions, combined with the style of Iwagakure. The majority of the funding would come from the village, with the Uchiha clan also having some funds for the remainder.

However, these are all minor issues.

Back home, Jiang Si was finally able to relax and have a meal with his grandmother, brother, and sister. He was filled with joy, especially when he saw his grandmother's kind and peaceful face and his brother and sister's tranquil and harmonious demeanor. Jiang Si immediately felt that all his efforts and adventures had been worthwhile.

Moreover, after this ordeal, it goes without saying that his younger sister, Kosaki, and his brother, Yo, have both matured rapidly. In this world, children born into ninja families are naturally precocious. Yo was just a little playful before, but this major change in his family has made him even more mature. At just over three years old, he already has a certain degree of 'little adult' demeanor. While Shoji is happy about his younger brother Yo's growth, he is also subtly influencing and reminding his brother not to be too extreme.

Education should start from childhood.

A major change can lead a person to positive maturity, or it can very well lead them down a negative and distorted path.

The Uchiha clan must never forget its history of humiliation and hatred.

In the future, we must use our own methods to reclaim our righteous cause.

However, he must not fall into endless feelings of revenge and resentment. His younger brother is only three years old, and Jiang Si is very careful to guide his younger brother's psychological development.

He really wanted his younger brother to be on the right path, so he sternly rejected his brother's request to immediately enter the ninja academy and further increase his basic training.

Forcing growth by pulling up seedlings is definitely not a good thing.

Although Yo's personality is a bit eccentric, he still listens to Shoji very much. This is because when Yo was just born, their parents passed away one after the other. In young Yo's heart, Shoji's position is not only that of an 'older brother', but also has the shadow of a 'father'. Saki is the same.

'The eldest brother is like a father!'

This is even more noticeable in such families.

Therefore, although Yang still felt a little wronged by his older brother's arrangement, he obediently followed Shoji's instructions and did not make a fuss. Xiaoxiao was the same. Seeing his younger brother and sister being so sensible, Shoji felt relieved. Moreover, there was his grandmother at home, Uchiha Chihaya, who was also a ninja. Even though she was over sixty years old, she still had no problem supervising and looking after the two little ones at home.

Chihaya clearly understood her eldest grandson's concerns. As she turned Tsukasa's gaze towards her, the old woman smiled and nodded, indicating that Tsukasa didn't need to worry about anything at home and that he just needed to focus on his own tasks.

Seeing the expression on his grandmother's face.

Jiang Si felt more at ease. When he saw that his younger brother was still looking sullen, Jiang Si smiled, put down his chopsticks, gently patted Uchiha Yang's head, and said softly, "It's alright, Yang. I promised you that as long as you lay a good foundation this year, I will definitely send you to the Ninja Academy next year. And I will also try my best to make time to train with you!"

"Really? You said it, brother!"

After all, he was still a child, and his emotions came and went quickly. Moreover, this was his elder brother whom he regarded as a father figure. When Uchiha Yang heard Jiang Si's words, his eyes lit up and he looked up at Jiang Si with a look of expectation on his face.

"Yes, that's what I said. Whenever you have time, that's fine too, including Saki!"

Jiang Si looked at his younger brother and sister with a gentle expression and said with a smile.

"Ok!"

"Yes, Brother Si!"

Compared to Xiaoyang's very outgoing personality.

Saki nodded slightly, looking a little shy, and replied.

Regardless, the two little ones were clearly very happy with what their older brother had said.

A peaceful, warm, and harmonious atmosphere—this is the 'daily life' that Shoji desires. After escaping the sea of ​​suffering in Konoha, he finally finds true tranquility. From his own home, one can sense, to some extent, the gradual calming of the clansmen's emotions. Although not many people in Iwagakure truly welcome their clan's arrival, conversely, not many people resent or reject them either. Even those who are hostile or malicious stem from the most common 'struggle for interests'!

The vast majority of the remaining people simply watched or ignored the arrival of their clan. This unfamiliar place was exactly what the Uchiha clan wanted. To put it simply, the future status of their clan in Iwagakure would depend entirely on their own efforts!

Whether they fully integrate and become an integral part of Iwagakure, or repeat the same mistakes, it all depends on their own efforts. This time, there will be no more persecution or pressure from higher-ups. Whether it is right or wrong, it is up to their own clan to decide.

'This is the first step in integrating!'

Jiang Si looked at his younger siblings, who were now eating with renewed enthusiasm, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he silently murmured to himself.

It was a relatively smooth start.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, did indeed intend to observe and assess the situation for a while (his previous satisfaction with Shoji, Fugaku, and others did not mean that the entire clan was satisfied; after all, people are different, and Onoki would definitely differentiate between them, or even assess them).

Overall, it still showed great sincerity to the Uchiha clan.

On the second day, the 'appointment requests' submitted by Fugaku were almost all approved by Onoki after just a quick glance. This was normal treatment that every ninja in the village could enjoy, as long as your ability truly matched the corresponding position.

Therefore, the more than one hundred clansmen who had only suffered minor injuries or were not injured during the previous journey, and who were deliberately selected by Fugaku and Sōgen elders, with Shisui, Yatsushiro, and Kogahara as the most stable in character, officially put on the red ninja uniform of Iwagakure and became Iwagakure ninjas after resting for two or three days!

This marks the crucial first step in truly integrating the Uchiha clan into Iwagakure!

157. Respective job positions and responsibilities

at the same time.

Under Fugaku's leadership, over thirty children aged five to seven were selected to study at the Iwagakure Ninja Academy next month. Itachi Uchiha was the leader. After the clan meeting that day, Fugaku had a heart-to-heart talk with his eldest son that night.
