Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 10 Reinforcements
Wuzhen, the temporary camp of the retreating ninja army on the eastern front of Konoha.

"The Mist Ninja suddenly launched an attack?" Nara Suzaku frowned as he looked at the information in his hand.

In just one day, Shisui sent someone to report the situation on the eastern front to Nara Suzaku.

Upon hearing this, several people in the camp looked at each other in confusion.

"The war is over. What else is the Mist Ninja going to do now? Has something unexpected happened?"

They have already reached their doorstep. If something unexpected happens at this time and they have to go back to the battlefield with kunai, one can imagine the resentment of the army.

Nara Suzaku did not respond. He was unable to judge the other party's motives based on the information he had.

"What did Shisui Jonin say? Does he want us to come back for help?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several ministers suddenly quieted down. If they returned to help at this time, wouldn't the treatment they would receive be the same as that of the Uchiha?
"The letter from Shisui Jonin said that the Hidden Mist Village sent out an elite force of nearly a hundred Bloody Ninjas, and there may be a large number of ninjas hidden in the future."

Hundreds of bloody ninjas!
Everyone was shocked. As everyone knew, the strength of a Blood Ninja was several times, or even dozens of times, that of a ninja of the same rank. He was simply not something that an ordinary civilian ninja could contend against.

"The Mist Ninja has approached the front-line camp, but was temporarily repelled. Now they need reinforcements, and even more so, medical ninjas."

"If the Mist Ninja continues to send more troops, they may have to open up their defenses and retreat."

Medical Ninja.
Utane Kae, who had been listening quietly at the side, suddenly changed her expression. She looked up and saw that everyone's eyes were vaguely looking at her.

"The war is over. How could there still be so many ninja troops in Kirigakure? Uchiha Shisui must be lying about military intelligence!"

This makes sense. Everyone hopes that Uchiha Shisui is lying about military intelligence, but they also know that the possibility is very slim.

Nara Suzaku ignored Utane Kae's fuss and made a decision after thinking for a moment.

"The army will temporarily hold its advance. Ninjas from various divisions will be drawn to form fifteen teams. Three more teams of medical ninjas will be drawn to form reinforcements. Led by Tenne Rikito, they will set out immediately to reinforce the front line!"

"Commander Nara!"

Utane Kae's eyes changed and her face suddenly fell. Utane Rikito is her nephew, only a Chunin. The current situation is unclear. If something unexpected happens, how can she explain to the clan?
"Excuting an order!"

".yes."

Everyone in the tent was watching coldly. They were eager to return home and really didn't want to lead the team to reinforce.

Nara Suzaku also had a headache looking at the large number of words such as "maybe", "should", and "if" that appeared in the letter. According to his point of view, if the letter was not sent by Uchiha Shisui, he would never send reinforcements so decisively.

But Uchiha Shisui clearly asked in the letter whether they should retreat due to insufficient troops?

The problem was directly thrown on his head. If he didn't respond, he would be in trouble if something happened on the front line.

And this matter could not be concealed, he had to respond immediately.

However, his failure to take action does not mean that no one else will.

After returning to the tent, Utane Kae immediately called Utane Rikito, gave him Nara's order, and then gave him instructions in a serious tone.

"This time you go to the front line, there are many dangers. You must remember Tsunade-sama's medical ninja code. Don't stand in the front easily. You must be careful and cautious on the way to support and check for dangers."

Although Utane Rikito is only seventeen years old, he has a calm personality and is clear about the family's position. "Since we are here to provide support, we should hurry up. Besides, we are close to Konoha and there is no danger here. If we delay on purpose, will they notice?"

"What's the big deal? There is no room for luck in the world of ninjas. Have they forgotten how Tsunade-sama's brother died?"

"Besides, the Uchiha family is the most powerful family in Konoha. They will not retreat so easily. Medical ninjas are the most important, so you must not get hurt." "Nephew understands. I will prepare now."

"Go ahead, be careful!"

At the same time, after a day and a night of repeated reconnaissance at the eastern camp, Shisui finally confirmed that the Hidden Mist Village had no reinforcements in the Land of Whirlpools except for those bloody ninjas!

After receiving this news, the two people in the tent were silent for a long time.

"Teacher, should I write another letter to inform Commander Nara of the situation here?"

He believed that since he was sure that the other side had no follow-up troops, they naturally did not need reinforcements.

"No need for that. Repeating military orders undermines authority. Doing so will only deepen his disapproval of you."

Shisui nodded, but then he thought that even if it deepened, it would not have much impact, as the other party was already on the opposite side of the Uchiha.

Sima Yi saw through his thoughts and reminded him with a sharp look in his eyes: "The ancients said that those who win the hearts of the people can become the emperor, those who win the hearts of the emperor can become princes, and those who win the hearts of the princes can only become officials."

Shisui stood there in a daze, his eyes darting around as he tried desperately to think about the meaning of the words.

Sima Yi sighed when he saw this, "Those who win the hearts of the villagers can become Hokage, those who win the hearts of the Hokage can become assistants, and those who win the hearts of assistants can only become ministers. Do you understand this explanation?"

Call ~
He understood this!

"Teacher means that if all the villagers of Konoha support me, I can become Hokage. If the Hokage supports me, I can become Assistant Hokage. If the Assistant supports me, I can become Minister.

So I need more support from people?"

"Yes, winning people's hearts is the best strategy. This sentence will be the basis of all our subsequent plans. You must always keep it in mind."

"But the Nara clan has always supported the Hokage. Even if we show our good will, they won't help us, right?"

"Hahaha, no, no." Sima Yi laughed and shook his head, picked up a book and read it by himself without explaining too much.

Seeing this, Shisui had no choice but to give up asking any further questions and decided to think about it secretly at night.

"The Mist Ninja is no longer a concern, so are we going to do nothing next?"

Sima Yi heard this and whispered without even looking up: "Watch the movements of the reinforcements and the Mist Ninjas. They won't come so soon. Just wait for the right opportunity."

"I understand, teacher."

Hearing that reinforcements wouldn't be arriving so soon, Shisui's heart sank and he became thoughtful.

Sure enough, for three consecutive days, according to reports from the reconnaissance ninjas he sent out, the reinforcements marched no more than sixty miles a day, and the pace was tending to slow down.

You have to know that the reinforcements are only a dozen small teams, not a large-scale march, and this speed is not even half of the normal ninja's travel speed.

At this rate, it will take at least five days for reinforcements to arrive.

The Mist Ninjas still did not stop and continued to harass the area day and night for several days, but most of them were blocked by traps.

Gradually, the remaining Mist Ninjas also realized that something was wrong. Having lost their reconnaissance ninjas, they were often too passive and began to use this as an excuse to gather around Ao.

At this time, the original hundreds of bloody ninjas were less than fifty!
