"Tsk tsk!"
Uchiha Shinji's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You are only 5 years old, what's wrong with your brain?"
"This is a very elaborate plan. Every aspect has been carefully considered!"
"I'd be thankful if Fugaku had half the brains you do."
"Father understands! I will do as you say!"
"I will fully cooperate with you when the time comes. I will do whatever you say!"
"I hope it really works!"
If it succeeds, the future situation of Uchiha and Konoha will be very different.
"By the way! Do you have any constructive ideas about the future development of the family and how to deal with the relationship the family has with Konoha?"
Uchiha Shinji asked again.
If it was before today, he would definitely not ask Haruto such a question.
After all, what reliable insight can a five-year-old have on such matters?
But after listening to Haruto's analysis, he no longer thought so.
Some people are just such prodigies.
It's as if one is born with knowledge and can easily understand the essence of things through a small amount of information.
He had no good solution to the family's current situation.
Maybe Haruto can find it?
Even if he doesn't, it doesn't matter.
At this time, before Haruto could answer, footsteps were heard from upstairs. It was obvious that Fugaku had finished washing up and was about to come down.
Shinji immediately said to Haruto, "Forget it! After breakfast, come to my study and talk to me!"
He felt that this matter was not suitable for Fugaku to know yet.
Because, in Shinji's eyes, Fugaku is still very immature.
It might not be a good thing if he knew about this.
"Um!"
Haruto naturally had no objection.
The next moment, Uchiha Shinji waved his hand to lift the isolation barrier of the restaurant, and the family continued to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, Fugaku went out on a mission, and Uchiha Shinji called Haruto to come to the study.
"Okay! Let's continue with the previous topic! Do you have any good suggestions for the development of the family?"
After asking Haruto to sit down, Uchiha Shinji asked again.
"Of course!"
Haruto nodded affirmatively.
In fact, even if Uchiha Shinji didn't ask, he would find a chance to talk to him about this topic;
Then, he tried to guide his father to start reforms within Uchiha and gradually change its foreign policies.
He couldn't just sit back and watch his family continue on its old path.
While his father is still alive and has a high prestige within the clan, the best option is to push for reforms as soon as possible.
Otherwise, things would become even more troublesome when his father passed away.
Before, he was worried that his father would not easily accept his advice as a child.
Now, because of his previous performance, he unexpectedly achieved this effect ahead of schedule, and Haruto was very happy.
He said, "I have been thinking seriously about the development of my family during this period.
"I have summarized it and analyzed it from the perspectives of both inside and outside the clan!"
"First, let's talk about the clan!"
Uchiha Shinji nodded repeatedly, motioning for Haruto to continue.
Haruto continued: "The problems within the family are actually quite big at the moment;"
"It seems ridiculous to me that an Uchiha with several thousand people is divided into three or four factions, fighting and wasting time.
"Especially when the external threat is so serious."
"So, as far as the family is concerned, the most urgent task is to find a way to integrate and unite the people from all factions of the family, so that there is only one voice in the family and everyone can act with ease; that is the key;"
"That's right!"
Uchiha Shinji nodded affirmatively, but then said helplessly, "But how difficult is it to achieve this?"
"Different people have different ideas and interests. It's so difficult to unify their thoughts!"
"I have tried hard over the years, but with little success.
"Do you have any good ideas for this?"
Haruto listened and nodded affirmatively, "Since I brought it up, of course there is one;"
"But this also requires a process;"
"First of all, if we want to unify the thoughts of the clan and have only one voice, we must find a common goal that is in the common interests of everyone and can bring huge benefits to everyone;"
"I think we can first rebuild the merit contribution system and welfare system within Uchiha to win over the people;"
"At the same time, the education of children and the younger generation within the clan also needs drastic reforms;"
"Also, the Uchiha Security Department also needs major reforms."
"Reform of the Security Department?"
Uchiha Shinji frowned when he heard this: "How do you want to reform?"
He thought that the reform of the family meritorious contribution welfare system was possible, but it needed to be discussed in detail and could not be done recklessly.
He has no idea about the education of children and the younger generation for the time being, so he can ask Haruto about the detailed plan later.
Instead, the key lies in the reform of the Security Department.
This is a big trouble.
Haruto was naturally aware of this, and he immediately said:
"First, select elite personnel to form an elite security team;"
"In the future, these members of the elite security team will not be involved in the daily security management of the village. Usually, they will either deepen collective training or participate in patrol and security tasks near some villages, as well as the identification and arrest of spies;"
"They will become the real ace elite in the hands of the Uchiha in the future, comparable to the Anbu in the hands of the Hokage."
"Huh?"
Uchiha Shinji's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's possible! Uchiha really needs such a trump card to have more confidence to fight against the village."
"However, if this is the case, the security department may not have enough manpower;"
"Especially in recent years, the village has continued to expand, and the security department is increasingly short of manpower."
This is actually a waste of the Uchiha ninjas and is not conducive to their strength improvement.
Fighting is the best way to increase the strength of Uchiha.
"That's not a problem!"
Haruto heard this and shook his head and said: "My second method can easily solve this problem;"
"Second, open up some of the positions and quotas of the security forces to the outside world and set up a security brigade;"
"The Uchiha will be the captain, with three deputy captains, and civilian ninjas will be recruited to serve as deputy captains of the security brigade and squadrons. The squad members will be used to manage the internal security of the village and mediate security issues and conflicts within the village."
"What?"
Uchiha Shinji's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He said solemnly, "This is absolutely not possible! The Security Department was a department with exclusive authority assigned to us Uchiha when Konoha was established. How can we give it to civilians and other ninjas?"
"By then, the village will definitely wantonly place people in there and gradually erode the entire security department;"
"You have to understand that the village has been targeting and suppressing me, Uchiha. We can't enter other departments of the village at all. The Third Hokage won't allow us;"
"This security department is our only right. How can we give it to others?"
Haruto heard this and shook his head speechlessly, saying, "This is what the Second and Third Hokage want to see!"
"Most of the work done by the Security Department is a thankless job that offends people. I don't believe that you are not aware of this, father?"
"Why!"
Uchiha Shinji's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, and he sighed, "I know! Otherwise, Second Hokage Senju Tobirama probably wouldn't have given this authority to us Uchiha so easily!"
"But this is the only authority we Uchiha have. Even if we know it's poisoned bait, we have to swallow it!"
"If we really open the security department to the village and civilians, even if I agree, the tribesmen will not agree;"
"You have to understand this."
Without this authority, Uchiha was completely marginalized and had no say in Konoha.
This was something he and Uchiha could not allow.
