Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 112 The opportunity has come
"Hokage-sama, I wonder what happened during this late night summons?"

It was already late at night, and Shisui was enjoying dinner with Sima Yi and Itachi, but he was suddenly summoned by the Hokage and had to rush over.

"Don't be nervous, it's just that some problems occurred in the Anbu. You have already withdrawn from the Anbu. This matter shouldn't bother you, but after all, it involves your clan members."

Sandai said as he handed Shisui a piece of information, and after Shisui took it and read it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Because of Fugaku's incident, I could only temporarily transfer your people to the Rain Country to carry out the mission. Now it has been more than three months. Everything was normal and the information was successfully sent back to Konoha. I didn't expect that their position would be suddenly exposed because of a wild beast.

Now the teams they led have been attacked and suffered heavy losses. The remaining people have just returned to Konoha to rest and recuperate. I am afraid they will not be able to continue to carry out the tasks of the Anbu in the short term."

The third generation sighed. He was only thankful that the team leader was the elite of the Uchiha clan and was very powerful. If it were any other Anbu member, the entire team might have died in the Rain Country.

Upon hearing this, Shisui immediately said, "I will lead a team to the Rain Country to find out the reason."

The third generation immediately waved his hand to refuse. Even if Shisui agreed, he would not really let the head of the Uchiha clan do such a thing. Once it got out, the Uchiha clan would inevitably revolt.

"You don't have to go for this kind of thing. It's just that the Anbu suffered too many losses. I remember that you formed an Anbu selection team in the clan before. I want to select some more people from you to join the Anbu. What do you think?"

"Uchiha is Konoha's Uchiha. If the Third Hokage needs it, there's no problem. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Shisui said proudly: "It's just that the scale of the previous Anbu selection team was relatively small, and not many people joined because of the obstruction of some elders. So, can you give me some more time, Sandaime-sama? I want to expand the scope of selection within the clan and try to select the elite of the clan. Uchiha will definitely fully support Sandaime-sama!"

Shisui's expression was sincere and his eyes were pure. The Sandai nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face when he heard it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uchiha Yan and the others. I will arrange compensation as soon as possible."

"Yes, thank you, Master Sandaime!"

Shisui suppressed his joy and quickly returned to the tribe to call Hui, Daohuo, and Tiehuo, saying bluntly: "The opportunity has come!"

The three were puzzled, and after Shisui briefly explained the affairs of the Anbu, he ordered: "Senior Tetsuka, you will leave tomorrow to inform everyone of the news. This time, you must require all the idle jonin in the clan to join the selection team."

After being persuaded by Inahiri, Tetsuho went to see Fugaku. After Fugaku spoke, Tetsuho immediately rekindled his fighting spirit and chose to stay to help Shisui.

"Yes!"

Although he didn't understand Shisui's purpose, Tiehuo still agreed decisively.

"Senior Inahori, tomorrow you will take someone to inform the clan's Chunin and Genin, and tell them that the clan will arrange for them to lead a Jonin to conduct team training for a period of ten days."

"Yes!"

"Brother Hui, this is the information of the ninjas under the elders. Please let them all participate in the selection team according to the list and in my name."

Hui couldn't help but frown when he heard this and asked, "If the elders object, should we take action?"

"They won't object to such a good thing, they will just compete with each other for the spots, so go ahead and feel free."

"That's good!"

After the others left, Shisui returned to the room and learned that Sima Yi and Itachi had already eaten dinner and were now in the study.

When Shisui rushed to the study, he happened to hear Sima Yi explaining "Mencius" to Itachi.

"If the ruler treats his subjects as his own hands and feet, then the subjects will treat the ruler as their own heart and soul; if the ruler treats his subjects as dogs and horses, then the subjects will treat the ruler as their fellow countrymen; if the ruler treats his subjects as dirt, then the subjects will treat the ruler as their enemy."

"Loyalty is not static. My attitude towards you depends on your attitude towards me. If Konoha regards Uchiha as a scourge, then Uchiha can respond to Konoha as it should."

Shisui listened outside the door and nodded continuously, although during this period Sima Yi would not discuss with him how to consolidate the power of the clan. But whether it was accepting his invitation to teach Itachi, or studying the clan's barrier, setting up a repair plan, or teaching him the sealing technique, writing a tutorial, these trivial matters he never shirked, and he did them perfectly.

After listening for a while, Shisui turned and left without going in to disturb them until the next day, when he had just returned from the police department and received a message from several clan elders who wanted to meet with the clan leader to discuss the selection of ANBU.

Shisui readily agreed, and then met with several elders at his home that afternoon.

After the first meeting ended in a bad mood, there were several more meetings in between, most of which were the elders criticizing Shisui for his extraordinary behavior.

Shisui would argue at first, but gradually he started to ignore them, until now he has learned how to stir up trouble among them and let them quarrel among themselves.

"We already know about the selection of Anbu. In my opinion, we should follow the previous rules and select the elite from each lineage. What do you think, clan leader?"

Shisui had a calm expression and said casually, "I don't think so. There are more elite ninjas in the lineage of the Fourth Elders, so we can choose more from there."

The fourth elder's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "The clan leader is wise!"

"Nonsense, how can there be more of them? My group is much stronger than theirs. If they want to choose, they should choose from me!"

"You are strong"

Shisui watched the quarrel quietly for several hours without stopping. In the evening, when the Great Elder's back ached from sitting, Shisui spoke up, "I don't think any of you can convince the other, so just listen to the Great Elder."

Great Elder: “?”

The Great Elder immediately glared at Shisui, who hadn't said a word the entire afternoon.

"Let's listen to the clan leader."

Several people immediately quieted down, and just as they were about to continue arguing, they heard Shishui say, "Since the Great Elder is unwilling, then for the sake of fairness, I will arrange for your people to join the selection team, and then have a competition. The more winners, the more people will go.

Furthermore, if the Anbu is still short of manpower in the future, we can select from them first. What do you think?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other. The fourth elder was a little hesitant, but the third elder said directly: "Let's do it this way. If the fourth elder is not sure, just withdraw directly, so as to avoid being even more embarrassed when the result comes out."

"Who are you talking about? I'll show you the strength of my team!"

"Ha~"

Several people quarreled and the meeting ended unpleasantly again. As soon as Shisui followed them out, he noticed that the guards of several elders were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

These people had all been forced by Shisui to discuss the future of the family, and had been indoctrinated with Shisui's philosophy of building a family. The one-way streets in their minds had long led to Shisui, and those roads had become like Shisui.

Shisui smiled gently upon seeing this, knowing that the outcome was decided.

Two days later, the news spread throughout the family, and Shisui took the opportunity to announce the special method of this selection.

In the clan, all the jonin except the members of the police department enter the selection team, and then the clan randomly assigns the chuunin and genin as team members.

A team consists of four people, including the leading jonin. If you are lucky, you may be able to get three chunins, while if you are unlucky, you may only be able to get three genins.

Naturally, some members of the tribe were dissatisfied with this unfair rule. Shisui used the example of Uchiha Yan accidentally exposing his whereabouts, which led to the failure of the mission and the heavy losses of the team to explain: "Luck is also a part of strength!"

Then he added, "Those who feel unsure can withdraw. The Uchiha only select strong and confident people."

As for the elders who objected, Shisui directly said, "Come if you want, if you don't want to come, give the place to others!"
