After becoming the clan head, Shiyu Uchiha officially began facing three major challenges: managing a large clan, handling various complex internal affairs, and maintaining good relations with other clans within the village.
Fortunately, he had already dealt with clan affairs for some time beforehand. Although his current responsibilities were far heavier now, with assistance from several newly appointed elders, he handled everything skillfully and quickly adapted to his new identity and role. His cultivation schedule remained unaffected, much to Shiyu's relief—he wouldn't have had to look for alternatives otherwise.
Moreover, he generously contributed the Sharingan Secret Jutsu he had mastered to the clan, establishing it as one of the clan's core secret techniques. This ensured that every Uchiha could gain access to such a precious technique.
At the same time, Shiyu clearly laid out that while clan members enjoyed these benefits, they also bore binding responsibilities in return. Rank within the clan would be determined based on each individual's contributions to the clan.
As for the Sharingan Secret Jutsu itself, its foundational section was made openly available to all members for free cultivation. The main idea was that this part effectively helped members deal with most mental issues they faced after awakening the Sharingan, allowing them to handle situations more steadily and reducing the chances of becoming mentally unstable.
In Shiyu's view, minimizing troubles equated to contributing to the clan. Furthermore, such measures helped enhance overall cohesion, prompting every clansman to appreciate the efforts of their new clan leader, Shiyu Uchiha.
However, accessing the Third-Tomoe Section of the Sharingan Secret Jutsu required meeting two conditions: first, completing the foundational section successfully; second, becoming a member of the clan's paramilitary police force.
In addition, acquiring the methods for cultivating the Third-Tomoe Section required exchanging a certain number of clan contribution points. Of course, those who couldn't gather enough points right away could also borrow from the clan treasury—but repayment was strictly required later.
As for the Mangekyō Section, since it remained incomplete and attracted significant external attention, it had not yet been disclosed publicly.
At this time, the Sharingan Secret Jutsu gained general recognition mainly due to the endorsement of Renga Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha, and Mikoto Uchiha, creating a celebrity effect.
As for those who had already succeeded in cultivating it, Shiyu currently had no intention of revealing their identities. Recently, he wanted to avoid attracting attention from the Hokage faction's upper echelons—war was about to erupt soon, and he had no clear path to a quick victory right now.
Besides, with the actual effects produced by the secret technique, people would eventually come to fully trust its effects. However, to comprehensively strengthen the power of the Uchiha Clan, at least a year of development would be necessary.
The so-called "contribution points" were actually a unique currency system established by Shiyu Uchiha for the clan. At this stage, they had no direct connection with the standard currency used throughout the Ninja World.
However, even if future connections might be established between the two, exchange would only be allowed from Clan Contribution Points to currency, never the reverse.
For members of the Uchiha clan, as long as they possessed sufficient Clan Contribution Points, they could exchange for various valuable secret techniques and resources inside the Clan Treasury. However, due to the current limited number of redeemable treasures within the treasury—a shortcoming largely caused by Shiyu Uchiha's decisions—it relied mostly on Sharingan Secret Jutsu to maintain its prestige.
The remaining items were considered decent in the eyes of ordinary ninja but failed to meet the prestige expected of the Uchiha Clan's treasure vault. Thus, Shiyu Uchiha personally incorporated a vast collection of Ninjutsu that had been gathered over many years by Uchiha Shizhi. This served as a foundation; previously, Uchiha Shizhi had simply identified talented individuals and sponsored them directly.
This significantly expanded the range of items in the Clan Treasury, which encouraged more clan members to get involved and contribute actively.
Shiyu Uchiha had a clear vision for the future. He fully grasped the importance of the Clan Treasury and planned to gradually tighten the requirements for item exchanges once its stock improved. That way, only those with corresponding permissions would be able to obtain rare treasures, thereby stimulating enthusiasm and competitiveness among clan members in contributing to the family.
At this point, he was merely offering preferential policies to help clan members improve their strength quickly. Later on, profits generated from the treasury would precisely serve to cultivate future generations, forming a perfect closed loop.
Regarding the acquisition of Clan Contribution Points, Shiyu Uchiha established a set of rules. Whether improving clan secret arts, contributing rare treasures, nurturing promising descendants, fighting for the clan, or even having children, one could receive corresponding rewards in Clan Contribution Points. This diversified incentive mechanism aimed to encourage comprehensive participation and contributions from clan members, significantly enhancing their sense of belonging to the family.
Moreover, well before Sharingan Secret Jutsu became widespread, Shiyu Uchiha had already recruited nearly a hundred Uchiha clansmen whose Sharingan had not yet awakened but who possessed extraordinary talent. Now, most of them had successfully awakened their eyes, filled with gratitude toward Shiyu Uchiha.
The main reason behind this loyalty lay in each individual's profound obsession with obtaining the Sharingan. Therefore, they all held immense appreciation toward Shiyu Uchiha for helping fulfill their dreams and remained fiercely loyal, considering themselves Shiyu Uchiha's personal faction.
Yet, due to their relatively diluted bloodlines, even after awakening, they generally struggled to reach the third tomoe stage (the advanced form of the Sharingan). Still, their power inevitably increased substantially upon awakening, especially when combined with their Sharingan abilities. Once transformed into actual combat capability, their overall strength would roughly double—each at least capable of rivaling a Tokubetsu Jonin.
To help them master their new powers more effectively, Shiyu Uchiha poured extensive resources into their training.
Furthermore, these people had long been secretly relocated by Uchiha Shizhi and Mikoto to a secure location—a secret base outside the village maintained by the Uchiha Clan. This place became their training ground and area for growth, also serving as one of Shiyu Uchiha's hidden strategies for the upcoming Third Great Ninja War.
With intense training and real-world practice, these clan members slowly got the hang of the Sharingan's powers and grew into a hidden strength for the clan.
As expected by Shiyu Uchiha, many clan members who already had the Sharingan saw great gains from practicing the foundational chapter of the Secret Jutsu. Their control over Dōkuriki became increasingly refined. Moreover, a few lucky ones successfully elevated their Sharingan to a higher stage after finishing the training in the Third Tomoe Chapter.
