Looking at the four men before him filled with passionate enthusiasm, Yuhara subconsciously touched his upper lip, half-expecting to find a mustache. He'd never realized his words could be so inspiring, even when he'd individually "brainwashed" Shisui.
Regardless, their help meant things would become far simpler for him. Yuhara intended only to provide ideas for reforming clan education—the actual drafting would rely heavily on these four. Of course, he'd carefully review their work afterward, just in case they created some nonsense.
For Yuhara, clan education reforms were now urgent. Shisui was a prime example—despite being a prodigy, his worldview was shockingly simplistic. Although Shisui's case wasn't unique—such thinking was widespread in the shinobi world—Yuhara refused to let his own clan remain this way, especially now that he was clan leader.
"That's why reforms are necessary: instilling proper values, teaching them to think clearly, and understanding how to approach the world are the most important things."
Yuhara didn't expect everyone to become elites—he himself wasn't one. He'd simply been forced to study these things for exams and university credits, once cursing endlessly about it. Now, he felt genuinely grateful for that past education.
As clan leader, he couldn't accept that his clansmen didn't grasp even basic concepts—like stubbornly pursuing incorrect assumptions without understanding the underlying truth, mistaking persistence for determination. It wasn't about being stubborn—it was closer to needing psychiatric care.
Likewise, reforming the Police Force was absolutely essential. As Yuhara previously mentioned, external issues were temporarily resolved, but how they adapted internally to better integrate into Konoha became critical.
Throughout the morning, Yuhara shared many ideas with the four men, feeling like he'd relived his high school political studies—basic dialectical materialism and simple logic. These concepts—so basic in his past life that everyone understood them—had profoundly shaken the four men present.
"Is our clan leader some reincarnated sage? How else could he simplify such complicated issues so clearly?" Uchiha Sō muttered, slightly dazed, looking at Yuhara with astonishment.
After decades of struggle, Sō had barely summarized a few logical methods and life experiences, yet Yuhara casually outlined most of those conclusions in a single morning. Moreover, Sō knew Yuhara was holding back, intentionally keeping it basic to ensure clansmen could grasp fundamental worldviews.
But where was the simplicity? It was all essential wisdom—changing how a person thought!
"Thankfully, while teaching the clansmen a proper worldview, he's also emphasizing love and loyalty to the clan, reinforcing family bonds," Sō, Takechi, and Fugaku thought simultaneously after exchanging glances.
Yuhara certainly wouldn't ignore clan unity while teaching critical thinking. He'd always disliked the clan's elitist approach—especially their obsession with "eye-based" talent evaluation, which he considered foolish.
Obito alone proved this: once considered talentless and ignored, he awakened the Sharingan, evolved it directly to Mangekyō, and ultimately became one of the greatest threats in the shinobi world.
Although Obito was an extreme case, Yuhara chose to emphasize the concept of "rights and responsibilities" clearly, applicable in family or clan relationships. To nurture more talent, the clan must invest equally in everyone from the start, regardless of their apparent aptitude. Even those unsuited as shinobi could excel in other roles—after all, as the saying from his past life went, "Every profession has its champion."
Yuhara deeply understood another truth: "If you want horses to run, you must first feed them well." Without effort, how could there be gains? Similarly, building a sense of unity and identity within the clan required concrete actions.
"Though, why do I feel what I'm doing would suffice for an entire village?" Yuhara suddenly realized with shock after sorting out his thoughts clearly. The foundations he'd set seemed suitable not just for his clan, but potentially for all of Konoha—even if they were merely basics.
Reflecting further, Yuhara concluded it was because the ideas from his past life were too advanced. Even the small amount he'd learned casually was leagues beyond this world's imagination. "After all, my previous country had five thousand years of rich history—how can this world compare?"
Shisui wholeheartedly supported Yuhara's vision. Fugaku remained silent, perhaps uncertain how to respond. Meanwhile, Sō and Takechi felt slightly troubled—these plans could seriously challenge clan finances. Yet neither objected; though Uchiha's strength had declined since Konoha's founding, their remaining resources were still substantial.
"Then I'll entrust Elder Sō and Elder Takechi with drafting the new clan education guidelines and establishing a new reward mechanism. I'll review it personally once completed," Yuhara instructed decisively.
"Yes, Clan leader!" Both immediately agreed without hesitation, as these reforms aligned perfectly with their own desires for clan improvement. Additionally, Yuhara had chosen them precisely because their extensive social experience would significantly enrich the new guidelines.
After settling initial education reform plans, Yuhara began discussing Police Force reforms with the group. At first, he didn't think much of it—but soon discovered how profoundly mistaken he'd been. As their conversation progressed, he realized just how absurdly powerful the Police Force had become.
