Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 117: What they lost was only their freedom, but what their family gained was their future

After walking out of the door and away from the room where the elder was imprisoned, Shisui immediately slapped his face. Recalling the threat just now, he couldn't help but shake his head. This trick was inspired by Hui. He just hoped that these people could cooperate honestly.

otherwise
Otherwise, he would not have been able to really deal with the families of these elders together. Not to mention the blood relationship between them, the fact that some of their family members were standing outside the door and shouting with others about how to deal with their own old man was already making him feel helpless.

People have already done this, the most he can do is be a little stingy with their resources in the future.

But this is already the limit.

Of course, even if they are unwilling to apologize at the clan meeting, it will not have any impact on the overall situation, and he can still smoothly take over all the family's industries and power.

It's just that it won't be as smooth as when he took over the business left by Fugaku, and there may be some turmoil in the future, but he is confident that he can handle it, and he does this just to make it perfect.

After talking with several elders, Shisui no longer felt like sleeping, so he went to the study alone. He put away a strange scroll on the table and began to study the sealing technique.

Sima Yi once divided sealing techniques into four types and seven stages according to different difficulties and functions.

They are respectively warning, isolation, barrier, seal (inanimate objects), seal (chakra and alien chakra), seal (space), and seal (living things).

Shisui had amazing talent. Under Sima Yi's guidance, he mastered the first six in just a few months. However, the degree of his mastery was different. He inherited Sima Yi's humility and only dared to say that he had a rough understanding of the sealing technique, but he still studied it day after day.

It was not until dawn that Shisui heard the noise and immediately tidied up the desk. After adjusting his expression, he walked out with a haggard look on his face.

As soon as he came out of the study, he met Sima Yi who had just finished washing up.

"good."

Sima Yi looked at Shisui and nodded. Although he had not taught Shisui about family matters recently, he was watching every step of Shisui.

I thought the other party would delay until winter to complete the centralization of power, but I didn't expect that man proposes, God disposes. The third generation gave him a chance, and Shisui seized it and took it all in one step.

Hearing the long-awaited praise, the haggardness on Shisui's face instantly disappeared and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"They are all waiting at the door. You can eat something first."

Shisui shook his head and refused, "No, I need to maintain my condition. Let's just hold the clan meeting!"

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "I mean, get them something to eat."

After saying that, Sima Yi walked towards the hall.

"Eh?"

Shisui was left dumbfounded, looking at Sima Yi's back and feeling wronged. He thought the other party was concerned about him, but he didn't expect
"No, Grandpa is giving me advice!"

Suddenly, Shisui's eyes lit up, he immediately realized what was going on, overjoyed, this meant he had passed the test.

Although the means were a bit ugly and he was expelled from the Uchiha clan, the result was good.

After figuring it out, Shisui put his hands on his hips, unable to stop smiling until Kinkade and Eiki passed by in the yard.

"Morning, Chief~"

"Ah? Well, good morning~"

Shisui coughed and quickly restrained his expression, then ordered: "Forget it in the kitchen, it's too late, go outside and buy some breakfast for the tribesmen outside the door."

"Yes!"

After receiving the mission, the ninja spirits of the two men were awakened immediately and they left quickly.

By the time breakfast was delivered, the sky was already completely bright. Many clan members who had gotten up early to work noticed that there were nearly a hundred people sitting outside Shisui's house, talking about something.

After receiving the breakfast, the ninjas couldn't help but sigh that the clan leader was so depressed last night, but he still remembered to prepare breakfast for them after dawn.

"The Patriarch is such a gentle person!"

"Yes, these elders are really abominable. They actually treated the clan leader like this. They must be severely punished!"

"Must be severely punished!"

Everyone shouted, and after they finished their breakfast, the clan meeting began as scheduled in Zhishui's courtyard. The courtyard was already fully decorated, and after everyone entered the courtyard, they saw the five elders already sitting next to Zhishui, with their eyes closed, not saying a word.

In principle, the grand elder must be invited to the clan meeting, but Shisui deliberately ignored him and did not even invite those people from the police department.

Everyone's attention was focused on the five elders and no one paid any attention.

After the clan meeting began, Shisui went straight to the point.

"I have already read the account book I found last night. I know the whole story. Since the departure of our ancestor, the family has been without a patriarch for many years. The elders are helpless in doing this."

"Lord Patriarch."

Everyone was puzzled, as this was different from what they had agreed upon yesterday. Just as they were about to ask, they saw Shisui raising his hand to signal them to be quiet.

Then, Shisui continued, "But facts have proven that if the family business is in the hands of the elders, it will only cause the family to continue to weaken, so today we are convening a clan meeting to vote on whether to take back the family business and the power in the hands of several elders."

After he finished speaking, Jinhuo, who had been waiting for a long time, came over with tools, and everyone made their choice without hesitation.

The result was naturally a unanimous approval, and Shisui would legitimately abolish the privileges of several elders and take back those properties.

Of course, this is just a formality. Even if it is not passed, these have actually been controlled.

"Next, we will deal with the elders."

After receiving the results, Shisui continued, and everyone immediately looked at the five elders.

Upon hearing this, the five people also looked at them. When they saw their own descendants in the crowd, their expressions varied.

The second elder had a complicated expression and finally just sighed.

The third elder was furious, his face turned red, and his eyes were wide open, causing his grandson in the audience to lower his head silently.

The fourth elder's face turned green, he snorted coldly and didn't want to say anything more. The other two couldn't bear to watch and simply closed their eyes.

Shisui naturally noticed the expressions of the few people, and asked with a stern face: "Elders, do you have anything to say?"

Shisui's voice was low, very similar to the tone he used when threatening last night, and they naturally understood what he meant.

At this point, all their own family members have surrendered to the enemy. What else can they do? They can't really force Shisui to bring disaster to his family.

The third elder blushed upon hearing this, and opened his mouth but said nothing. The other three were also very embarrassed.

The second elder knew that they couldn't lose face, so he had to speak up himself: "The ancestors handed the family over to us, but we have turned it into this state. We are ashamed of our ancestors, ashamed of our clansmen, and even more ashamed of the trust of the clan leader. Now that things have come to this, there is nothing more to say. I only ask the clan leader to punish us!"

The elder admitted his mistake!

Everyone stood there in a daze, and immediately looked at the Third Elder. Seeing that he didn't say a word, they almost thought they had seen it wrong.

They thought that the five elders would glare at them, then grit their teeth and hold on, and then refuse to admit their mistakes, and even continue to scold the patriarch, but they didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Come to think of it, it seems like it was the same last time Fugaku abdicated?
Shisui was moved, and said quickly: "No one is perfect, and everyone is capable of making mistakes. You are all Shisui's elders, and you have worked hard for the family for decades. Even if you have no merits, you have made contributions.

"All of today's events were caused by the evil roots left by Madara's ancestors. If we punish him severely, Shisui will not be able to bear it. So please bear with it and stay in the ancestral hall with Fugaku-senpai."

The second elder thanked him first, and the other four nodded reluctantly. In the crowd, the immediate family members of these elders also breathed a sigh of relief. They were shocked when they calmed down this morning. After all, this was their father (grandfather). If he really died here because of not giving in, it would be hard for them to accept it.

Fortunately, it was just Youjing. Although they lost their freedom, their family gained a future!
"I didn't expect that what Fugaku has not been able to do for so many years has been accomplished by you in this way."

Three days after the clan meeting ended, Shisui was invited to the residence of the great elder.

Unlike other elders, even though the clan council had passed a resolution, Shisui did not mention the great elder's powers and the properties under his management.

However, although he did not mention it, all the ninjas participating in the clan meeting, including the ninjas from the police department who learned the news later, urged him to take back all family properties immediately.

Shisui always looked embarrassed and hesitant, and then he kept rejecting these proposals on the grounds that the Great Elder had made great contributions to the family.

But even so, talk was still flying everywhere, and the whole family was discussing it. In just three days, the Great Elder's lineage was labeled as an obstacle to the family's revival and was criticized by the clan members.

In this situation, the Great Elder suddenly took the initiative to invite Shisui.

"Well, it was just luck. The Third Generation Master gave me the opportunity, so I succeeded in one fell swoop. If it weren't for this opportunity, I might have to wait a few more months."

Facing the Great Elder, Shisui felt inexplicably guilty.

The Great Elder smiled and said, "It's fine if it can be accomplished. The Uchiha clan has been divided for too long. With you here, I believe the Uchiha clan will be able to return to its former glory."

Although he had some methods, Shisui's strength and wisdom were rare among the Uchiha, which made the Great Elder more and more satisfied.

Seeing that the Great Elder didn't care, Shisui heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your understanding, Great Elder."

"Well, there are three main reasons why I called you here today. One is about what the clan is discussing. Many people in my lineage have come to me to persuade me to return those properties to you.

It seems that you are really an outlier among the Uchiha. You can achieve this without seeing the blade. I was right about you at the beginning. "

This is the third time that Shisui has used the same method. The Great Elder was also involved once. If he can't see that Shisui did it on purpose, he would have lived in vain.

Shisui smiled awkwardly, not quite sure if this was a compliment or not.

"The second thing is about Fugaku."

"Uncle Fugaku?"

"Yes, he was the one who did it that night."

It was not a question, the Great Elder's tone was very certain. He had watched Fugaku grow up, and even though the other party had his face covered and his body shape had changed, he still recognized him just by looking at him.

"Forehead"

Shisui hesitated for only a moment, and the Great Elder immediately understood and continued, "It is indeed him. Humph, this brat, I think he is really going to attack me. He has absolutely no respect for his elders!"

Speaking of Fugaku, the Great Elder immediately became angry. He had helped him get the position of clan leader and such an outstanding wife, but the other party actually wanted to harm him.

What a waste of those kaleidoscopes.

Seeing this, Shisui had no choice but to explain, "Well, Uncle Fugaku didn't do anything after all. He must still respect the Great Elder in his heart."

“Humph, if he didn’t have that idea he wouldn’t have come to me, but he hesitated again because he saw that there were so many people around me.

This brat! I might as well dig out his eyes and transplant them to you to help you open the Eternal Kaleidoscope."

"Eternal Kaleidoscope?"

"Well, this is the third thing I want to talk to you about today. After you became the clan leader, you rarely came to visit me. Some of the clan's secrets are kept by me. It's time for you to take a closer look, in case something unexpected happens to me one day and the inheritance is cut off."

The Great Elder's body is getting older and older, and he may not be able to hold on for a few more years.

Shisui suddenly felt sad and could only comfort him, "The Great Elder is the pillar of the Uchiha clan. You must persevere until the clan is revived."

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder immediately joked: "Haha, it's no longer a pillar, it's an obstacle to the family's revival."

"This"

Shisui could only smile shyly and lower his head in silence.

"Okay, enough of the small talk, follow me."

The Great Elder stood up and took Shisui to the secret room again, then said: “The seal here can preserve some scrolls and books very well.

So try not to take these things out, and some of them are confidential and cannot be seen by the tribesmen. Come here more often in the next few days and write them down.

Especially this one, which contains the secret of the Eternal Kaleidoscope. You can take this volume back and read it carefully, but you must keep it confidential. Also, remember to bring it back after reading it."

The Great Elder took out a scroll from a wooden box and handed it to Shisui with a serious expression.

"Yes."

Shisui took it solemnly, his heart moved slightly as he looked at the scroll.

Eternal Kaleidoscope? Could it be a way to eliminate the blindness caused by using a kaleidoscope?
"I will have someone hand over those properties to you. As for the account books and the remaining wealth in the family, they have all been packed up and will be sent directly to your home later."

"Great Elder, you have quite a few people in your family, so you should keep the money for yourself."

Shisui was moved, and quickly said that although the Great Elder did not help him in consolidating the power of the family, this was already the greatest help he could give.

If the Great Elder had not deliberately ignored it, his actions would have been blocked by the elders together.

You have to know that the Great Elder's lineage controls nearly 30% of the family's power. If he takes action, Shisui will not be able to confront the elder openly.

"Haha, don't worry about the money. I still have a few useless juniors at home. Just take them."

The Great Elder waved his hand, not caring at all.

"Thank you, Great Elder, for your help!"

Seeing the Great Elder's firm attitude, Shisui did not refuse and bowed to express his gratitude.

Then, Shisui exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Great Elder before leaving temporarily with the scroll.

As soon as he returned home, he couldn't wait to go to the study and told Sima Yi what the great elder had said to him.

"Well, you did a good job. Now the family industry and ninjas are at your disposal. After everything is stable for a while, you can start the reform. But don't make too much noise, especially those policies involving outsiders. You must be careful in advancing them and carefully observe the reactions inside and outside the family."

Sima Yi took the scroll but did not rush to open it. Instead, he began to talk with Shisui about the future development of Uchiha.

Shisui looked delighted and said immediately: "Grandpa, in the past few months I have often thought about the reasons for the decline of the family and the future development path. I have summarized a few points and would like to ask for your advice."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

Sima Yi was surprised. He didn't expect that Shisui would start thinking about the future of his family before completing the centralization of power, and it was not those "annoying" revival strategies.

Shisui began to look further ahead, to pay attention to the fundamentals, to analyze the causes, rather than the short-term pros and cons. This is growth.

"Yes, Grandpa."
