Shin ran all the way to Konoha forest, before stopping to a halt, finding nobody around, he decided to reverse summon himself to his shadow clone.
Rinnegan was too useful, even a shadow clone can be used as a path, after all, paths only require you to flow your chakra through a body, shadow clone is all your chakra and all your body.
" Reverse summoning jutsu! "
* Poof *
The shadow clone Shin was currently in his office, dealing with the newly growing Uchiha clan's demands.
When he vanished, Shin appeared at the same time, receiving all it's memory as he did.
Shin walked upto the bathroom first and foremost, he was very dirty after his fight with Itachi.
* Screeth *
Opening the door, Mark activated Animal path and his clothes automatically got reverse summoned out of his body to Shin's special animal realm.
The big guy's must stay somewhere right? Holy places aren't the only hidden areas.
Getting a rinnegan let's you generate one of your own as well, an area in space specifically used to generate and keep animal path's animals.
" I always wondered how animal path even works, like did sage create the animals Nagato uses and they were stuck somewhere without a purpose ever since he died? "
As Shin settled in his bathtub, he concluded his theory, now that he owns a rinnegan too
" It's not that those animals actually exist either, nobody has even seen anything remotely close to them before Nagato appeared in the Ninja world, and their powers are very much aligned with the samsara theme sage had been going with. "
Shin narrowed his eyes, with the knowledge that now, he has his own little army of beasts, which his eye auto generated, Shin wondered.
' They are certainly getting summoned from somewhere right? I wonder if I can make that my domain..? I think I can go there myself, my clothes got reverse summoned just fine, I can as well. '
Now that Shin had made sure of the feasibility of his plan, he decided to relax and remember the work Shadow clone was doing.
Many things have happened, Uchiha clan's revival had other clan's reach out, either for support or for offence.
Shadow clone Shin was handling everything before, and now Shin had a pretty good idea of his support.
" There are two noble clan who have come forward to support Uchiha, support Shinnosuke Uchiha that is, no wonder, my Mangekyou Sharingan has spread throughout the village. "
Shin breathed a sigh of relief, the Fuma clan leader has done a good thing, he was at least competent.
Now Shin can worry about why the remaining two noble clan decided to support him.
There were only four of them in theory, Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga and Aburame, and Senju was long gone now.
" Both Hyuga and Aburame have shown their support.. Hyuga is indeed possible, I have Hinata running around my house ever other day, she's the next clan head, not supporting this pre made relationship would he an absolute blunder. "
But why Aburame? He was certainly friends with Shino, but it was just at the classmate level, nowhere near attaching their entire clan to Uchiha for this little link.
" Huh.. I wonder, is this because of the Torune Aburame incident? Or the Yoji Aburame incident? Both have very different implications for the Uchiha. I have to find out their motivation. "
Shin added a ' maybe ally ' to Aburame in his mind, then concentrated on the clan's who opposed him or remained neutral.
" Shimura is in strict opposition, so is Sarutobi, amongst the lesser clan's there is Mitokado and Utatane, other riff raff honestly don't matter. "
Shin then counted the neutral.
" Ino-shika-cho remains neutral, I assume it's Ino and Shikaku who made this happen. Shikaku by his mind understanding pros and cons, and Ino by virtue of existing, she too frequents Uchiha to find me. "
But the reason they remained neutral instead of support, was because they are by tradition connected to the Sarutobi.
Canonically it's a Sarutobi who assigns earrings to every new generation of Ino shika Cho, making them official per say.
Basically showing who's the boss to the three clans, yes, Sarutobi Asuma's presence in this generation of Ino Shika Cho wasn't a coincidence, it was a planned tradition.
" So if I take too long, they will be forced to shift from neutral to opposition? Is that what Shikaku wants to tell me? I see, no, it won't take long at all, only a few more months. "
In a few more months, Shin and Itachi had made a plan to rid Konoha of this disease know as the four elders.
Itachi was said to commit the Uchiha massacre for power right? Well he wants more power now, isn't it just right to stage another massacre?
" Huff, alright, now it's a bunch of discussion with Hyuga and Aburame that follows, this will happen until the Chunin exams in a few months, then whatever I have been working towards will click in place. "
Shin finally decided the direction of everything that follows, so he can now realx for real.
And relax he did, for an entire hour he soaked in the bathtub, many little white puppies were playing around him, the animal path dog summoned using less chakra, gives this as it's output, and Shin considered this an absolute win.
* Woof *
A puppy barked with it's milky voice as his tail went wild seeing Shin coming out of the bathtub, all of the little guys tried their hardest to swim towards Shin with their little feet.
" Look at you lot, who's gonna think you are the three headed hell dog? Not even I can think that and I made you! "
* Woof! *
The puppies one by one got out of the tub and shook their bodies clumsily to shake off the excess water, some ran around Shin, some tried the climb his leg, some vanished in a puff of smoke.
* Woof! *
And returned again trying to carry Shin's big clothes in their mouths, it was difficult for them but they managed somehow.
" Nagato was pretty insane to control you guys directly, automation is best for you. "
Murmered Shin as he wore his clothes and walked back to his office, he had work to do, replies to write, a village to change.
Only two families supported Uchiha, that too because he had vision and made strong relationships from childhood, this was all the result of his years of hard work.
Shin can't even imagine if he just left it to Sasuke what would happen, oh wait he can imagine that, Boruto would happen.
