The clan heads in front of Yuuki were all from some small and medium-sized clans.
Kekkei clans like Hyuga, and clans with secret Ninjutsu inheritance like Yamanaka and Aburame, could still remain calm.
After all, for those large clans, other Ninjutsu were merely to enrich their means; their true focus was on the inheritance of Kekkei and secret Ninjutsu.
However, for some small and medium-sized clans, a larger collection of Ninjutsu was their only advantage compared to those civilian Ninja!
Yuuki's action had an impact on them no less than pulling the rug out from under them!
Looking at the large group of angry clan heads, Yuuki still wore a faint smile.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so tense. The Uchiha Clan and your clans are very close. How could we not consider you?"
After Yuuki finished speaking, a clan head from a small clan spoke up.
"Clan Head Yuuki, everyone knows your goal of recruiting civilian Ninja, but you should strictly control the number of Ninjutsu and the number of people who can acquire them!"
"Yes, yes, those civilian Ninja get excited enough to treat anything as a family heirloom if you just give them a little something. Just give them some low-level Ninjutsu!"
"....."
Yuuki shook his head, looking at the clan heads who kept trying to persuade him to appease the civilian Ninja with small favors.
He then took out a scroll and said to these people,
"Everything I do is for Konoha, to create even greater glory for Konoha. These are the Ninjutsu I plan to open up. Everyone, take a look."
A clan head beside Yuuki immediately picked up the scroll, opened it, and began to read.
Almost the moment he opened the scroll, the clan head's expression turned very ugly.
So, what was written on the scroll?
Fire Release, Earth Release, Water Release, Lightning Release, Wind Release—all five Nature Transformation were present, covering everything from D-rank to B-rank.
Among them, Fire Release was the most numerous, even including A-rank Ninjutsu, with over a hundred types of Fire Release alone.
The other four Nature Transformation combined also numbered around two hundred types.
The more he read, the more he was shocked. It not only included the ten or so Ninjutsu inherited by this clan head's family, but also many Ninjutsu that were even more powerful than those of their clan.
If the Ninjutsu in the scroll were truly opened to all Konoha Ninja, then his clan would completely become commoners!
The clan head was extremely angry, but due to his weak strength, he said nothing, merely passing the scroll to the next person.
He believed he wouldn't be the only one unable to accept this situation!
The scroll was passed from hand to hand among these clan heads; not one of them had a good expression after finishing it.
After circulating among all the clan heads, the scroll returned to Yuuki's hand.
"Clan Head Yuuki, if the Uchiha truly insist on going their own way, we can only go to Hokage-sama. I believe Hokage-sama will not ignore this!"
Yuuki glanced at the speaker, the clan head of the Ishitori Clan, a clan he had never heard of in the original work, neither in the manga nor the anime.
It was said that their ancestors, hundreds of years ago, received divine guidance from a stone, learned Ninjutsu, and slowly developed. The clan then took Ishitori as their surname.
Yuuki felt that the people in the Ninja World were really good at bragging. The clan's inherited Ninjutsu and Iwagakure's common Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears were not exactly the same, but not much different.
They just gave it a fancy name, Earth Release: Spear of the Earth!
Towards such a person, Yuuki wore a smile on his face, but silently noted this fellow in his heart.
It wasn't because this guy was bossing him around, but mainly because this guy's will of fire was not firm. Konoha didn't need such a clan to exist!
To actually think of going to Hiruzen Sarutobi when there was a problem! His ideology had completely deviated from the will of fire!
Yuuki said nothing, his expression not even changing. He was waiting to see which clans could be united, which needed to be reformed, and which needed to be crushed!
"Clan Head Yuuki, everyone here has profited greatly by following the Uchiha Clan, but we are a Ninja Clan. While money is important, the most important thing is Ninjutsu. By doing this, have you considered us?"
Hmm, this one has a bit of self-awareness, knowing that their current status is thanks to the Uchiha. They can still be brought back on track with some reforms!
"Clan Head Yuuki, I won't say much more. We cannot stop your decision, but we just hope you can consider us a little more. We are all following behind you now!"
Oh, this guy's ideology is very sound. He needs to be strongly supported!
Yuuki smiled and listened to everyone's speeches. The results were pretty much as expected: those with sound ideologies and those with skewed ideologies were about equal, but they only made up a minority. Most were in the middle.
They had some goodwill towards the Uchiha but not much, and inwardly opposed Yuuki's actions but dared not show it too much.
When everyone finished speaking and looked at Yuuki again, Yuuki spoke.
"Everyone present here is a pillar of Konoha and the closest ally of the Uchiha Clan. How could I not consider you?"
"I understand all your thoughts, and I will make sure everyone is satisfied!"
After a slight pause, Yuuki continued,
"The reason I came today is precisely because of the close relationship with your clans!"
"The Ninjutsu on the scroll you just viewed, I will open them all to Konoha Ninja, not one less. However, they will need to contribute to the Military Police Force to gain the qualification to purchase them!"
"And your relationship with the Uchiha is naturally different from others. As long as you are interested in these Ninjutsu, you can purchase them directly. These are almost all the Ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, excluding their secret Ninjutsu!"
What Yuuki said was accurate. These three hundred Ninjutsu were all the Ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan.
Ninja in the Ninja World had a bad habit: after learning a few Ninjutsu, they would slightly modify them and give them a new name.
This led to thousands of Ninjutsu, when in reality, there were only a few true Ninjutsu.
The most famous were Chidori and Rasengan. The signature Ninjutsu of the two main protagonists would be played with in countless ways, but in essence, they were just one Ninjutsu from beginning to end!
Of course, Yuuki would not open those developed Ninjutsu to the public.
For example, Shisui's unique Ninjutsu developed based on the Clone Jutsu and Body Flicker Technique would become a collection of the Uchiha Clan after Shisui's death. This was clearly a secret Ninjutsu, but in reality, it was just the Clone Jutsu and Body Flicker Technique.
Another example is the Phoenix Sage Fire Nail Crimson that Shisui used earlier, which was also a new Ninjutsu formed by a certain Uchiha elder adding Ninja tool throwing to the Phoenix Sage Fire.
Yuuki did not include any of these improved Ninjutsu or new, more powerful and versatile Ninjutsu formed by combining existing Ninjutsu.
All the Ninjutsu in the scroll were basic five-element Nature Transformation, and they were indeed almost all the Ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan.
And Yuuki's words instantly caused an uproar among these clan heads!
