Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 124 Danzo: I only want Konoha
"You know what you're talking about, don't you?"

The four of them were stunned by Jiraiya's suggestion. After a moment of silence, Koharu Utane asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, I know, that kid is pretty good. I think he has the potential to become Hokage."

Jiraiya ignored the expressions of the four people, stroked his chin and thought carefully before becoming more certain.

Utatane Koharu was furious and immediately yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can an Uchiha become a Hokage?"

The conflicts between her and Shisui are increasing day by day. If the other party becomes Hokage, will she be able to survive?

"Jiraiya, don't be willful. Although Uchiha Shisui is good, he is an Uchiha and we can never let him become Hokage." Mito Kado En also quickly refused with a very firm attitude.

Danzo snorted coldly, and the expectation in his heart disappeared immediately. He said bluntly: "Ridiculous!"

The Third Generation was a little dazed, and inadvertently began to think about the situation of the village after Shisui became Hokage.

Shisui is very powerful, kind and humble, gentle and polite to others, and most importantly, very obedient.

If he becomes Hokage
I have to say, he was moved.

Unfortunately, Shisui has too many people behind him. If he was not a member of the Uchiha clan or he was the only one left in the Uchiha clan, he would have asked Jiraiya to accept him as his disciple without hesitation and then agreed to Jiraiya's proposal.

"Shisui is indeed good, but it's a pity that the position of Hokage cannot be held by someone from such a big family. This is the decision of the Second Hokage, and it is also for the stability of the village."

Jiraiya didn't refute. He just expressed his thoughts. He didn't care whether the four people agreed or not.

"That's it, then. I just happened to come back this time. I heard that Minato left me a little grandson. I'm going to go see how the little guy is doing."

Jiraiya turned around and waved his hand, then jumped out of the window, completely unaware of the Sandai's hesitation to speak.

Danzo looked through the window at Jiraiya leaping on the roof, and when he thought of Shisui, his eyes became even gloomier.

Late at night, Tokaido, on the outskirts of Icheng.

Outside a luxurious mansion, dozens of warriors in night clothes were hiding in the darkness, staring at something not far away.

"We have confirmed that the target is on the third floor. However, there are at least a dozen guards in this courtyard, and the security is tight. If we rush in directly, he might take the opportunity to escape."

"It's okay. This time, my Lord has hired a few wandering ninjas. They have already arrived. We just need to attract the attention of the guards in the front yard."

"That's good."

In the darkness, the leaders finished their discussion and then remained silent again. After an unknown amount of time, the clouds covered the moon. Just as they were about to give the order to take action, a light snort suddenly came from behind them.

"Asshole, didn't I tell you to keep quiet?"

The leader cursed softly, then turned around and saw that all the warriors who were originally crawling on the ground were lying on the ground and no one responded.

He frowned and was about to say something when a gust of wind suddenly blew up and the moonlight broke through the clouds and sprinkled down. Dozens of corpses were lying there in the cold moonlight. All of them had their eyes wide open, rolling their eyes and staring straight ahead, with blood all over the place.

"Sigh~"

Even the team leader, who was used to seeing life and death, felt his heart suddenly shrink when he saw this scene, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"Run! That guy has ninjas protecting him, let's go to the back and join those ninja masters!"

He used his trembling limbs to support himself and crawled backwards, then called a few people to try to escape.

The person who could kill dozens of people silently in front of them must be a ninja. Facing a ninja, they couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

However, when he struggled to crawl, he found that no one responded to him. He turned around and saw that the people who had just communicated with him had been lying on the ground with confused expressions.

Blood gushed out, flowing over his hands and knees, hot.

"Silent killing technique?" The team leader could only watch it all in horror. His limbs went weak and he even lost the courage to crawl.

Tokaido is located on the sea, and merchants from the Land of Water often come and go. Some places have even experienced destruction by ninjas from the two countries, so some of the more famous ninjutsu are naturally well known to them.

"Wrong answer, what a pity~"

A figure appeared in front of him at some point. He looked up, but it was pitch dark in the moonlight and he couldn't see clearly. Only a pair of red eyes reflected his terrified face.

"you"

puff~
At the same time, in a bright room on the third floor of the house, Takeshi Kamimura was carefully taking stock of recent income, expenditure and development.

Uchiha Pan, who had been guarding outside, suddenly came into the house in an instant.

"Ok?"

Before Kamimura Takeshi could react, there was a bang, and the window shattered. Three middle-aged ninjas climbed in through the window one after another. They were holding long swords, wearing loose robes, and had different forehead protectors on their heads. One of them even reeked of alcohol, and looked careless, with no sense of vigilance at all.

Takeshi Kamimura sat there, looked sideways, and had a puzzled expression.

He had been here with his caravan under the escort of these ninjas for about three months, and had gradually come to understand the strength of these ninjas. He had also spent quite a bit of time in Konoha.

In his opinion, the three opponents were obviously the worse ones among the ninjas. How did they get here with such strength?

"The warriors outside have been dealt with by others, but not much intelligence was obtained. These people may know something."

Takeshi Uemura did not refute. He understood the logic, so why let them in?
"Huh? You're not looking down on us, are you?"

Seeing that the two of them ignored them and started chatting among themselves, the drunken ninja immediately tilted his head and asked with an unhappy look on his face.

But he didn't notice the horrified expressions of the two people beside him.

Uchiha Pan raised his head slightly and looked down at the three people. He did not show his Sharingan, but his calm attitude, aloof temperament, and flawless posture still made the two men sweat on their foreheads.

"You bastard, I'm talking to you! How dare you point your nose at me? How can you be so stubborn? Go to hell!"

This attitude also made the drunk ninja unhappy. He roared and chopped with a knife, but the two people beside him immediately withdrew tacitly and ran straight to the window.

Uchiha Pan sneered and said bluntly: "Oh? Instead of running away, you took the initiative to attack? Your courage is commendable, but that's the only thing worth praising."

After saying that, the three-magatama Sharingan appeared, and the two looked at each other. The drunk ninja stopped in place instantly. In the illusion space, several huge iron nails nailed him firmly.

The other two noticed something was wrong and turned their heads slightly, trying to take a peek at what was happening behind them. However, after just one glance, they stopped stiffly in front of the window, staring at those eyes in horror.

"Uuchiha."

Uchiha Pan snorted lightly, and the two men's pupils dilated and lost focus, and their bodies walked towards him uncontrollably.

He is the illusion ninja personally selected by Uchiha Shisui. The evaluation of his proficiency in illusion is not obtained by comparing with those ordinary ninjas outside the clan. Those who are qualified to be compared with him are the three-magatama ninjas of Uchiha.

It’s hard to deal with three middle-aged men without even grunting.

At this moment, the drunk ninja finally sobered up. Although his body could not move, his consciousness was extremely clear. He asked in horror: "Sharingan! Why, why did I meet an Uchiha in such a ghost place?

You are the one who is doing this.”

Uchiha Pan naturally ignored him and continued to use illusion to control the three people to tell the news they knew one by one.

After a while, after learning what happened, Uchiha Pan controlled the three people and ran outside to commit suicide. Uemura Yizhi sighed and said, "It's only been three months, and it's only been a month since we robbed the salt field acquisition shop. In just one month, they have assassinated me seven times. This time they sent so many people and three ninjas. This is no longer an assassination."

For three months, Kamimura Takeshi followed the development plan made for him by Sima Yi and Shisui before they left, and did not start business in the first two months.

Instead, he used the power of the Uchiha ninja to raid and interrogate some of the surrounding bandits.

Those with backgrounds were temporarily controlled, those without backgrounds who could be used were used, and those who could not be used were killed and the matter was settled. This move not only made them a lot of money but also added a lot of labor.

Moreover, these people were very familiar with the surrounding situation and knew the news of many nobles clearly. This information helped them to quickly integrate into the place.

In addition, the forces behind these bandits with backgrounds are even more complex and diverse. Many of them are subordinates of the lords, and they are armed forces that they develop secretly behind the lords' backs.

Some were even privately trained by the lord's sons. Using this information, they quickly cooperated with some of the nobles. With the help of money and force, they seized a salt field and a large number of shops in just one month.

Such behavior naturally stimulated the salt merchants, and assassinations continued for a month.

Kamimura Yizhi looked at the glass all over the floor and couldn't help but sigh: "The lord is reveling day and night, and he doesn't do anything even though his nobles are in such a mess. He is really getting old and confused.

There are also those who are ruthless and take the money but do nothing. Unfortunately, we are short of manpower and cannot use some radical measures. "

The seizure and monopoly of the salt roads requires not only money and strength, but also enough people to manage them.

However, Kamimura Takeshi's caravan was short of manpower, so he had no choice but to poach people at a high price, but this would take time.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Pan said, "With the reinforcements sent by the clan leader, our progress has been much faster. The backgrounds of those people have been almost investigated."

"That's good. I don't believe they won't compromise under coercion and inducement. However, the local salt merchants are still too rude. It's time to give them a little deterrence!"

"Master Danzo, what is the matter with you suddenly looking for me?"

Three days after Jiraiya returned to Konoha, the news of the return of the three ninjas quickly spread throughout Konoha. There was even news that the third generation would soon pass the throne to Jiraiya. The villagers were excited, but people felt relieved.

That evening, after Shisui reported all the accumulated events to the three generations at once, he received an invitation from Danzo on his way back to the clan.

They came to a dilapidated ninja temple, where two ferocious stone statues looked down at them from above.

Danzo turned his back to Shisui, narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "You should know the rumors about Jiraiya in the village, right?"

Shisui's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the other person's back cautiously, and replied softly: "I heard that the Third Hokage is going to let Jiraiya-sama serve as the Fifth Hokage. If it is true, it will naturally be a good thing for Konoha."

"Haha, that's fake, it's just my speculation. In fact, Jiraiya didn't want to be Hokage, and he even recommended another person to Hiruzen."

Having said that, Danzo's eyes became even colder, and he slowly turned around and looked at Shisui.

"Lady Tsunade?" Apart from Tsunade, Shisui couldn't think of anyone else that Jiraiya could value.

"No, you."

"what?!"

Shisui was shocked. He and Jiraiya didn't have much interaction before that day, so how could the other party recommend him to be Hokage?

For a moment he even wondered if Jiraiya was flattering him or if it was Danzo who was secretly sowing discord between them.

But he quickly denied these speculations. He only needed to ask Jiraiya to find out the answer quickly.

And it felt good to talk to Jiraiya, he felt that the other person was not that kind of person.

"I'm surprised, too. But unfortunately, we won't agree to an Uchiha becoming Hokage."

Danzo's words were cold and his expression was even a little sarcastic.

Shisui regained his composure and stopped dwelling on it, saying calmly, "Thank you for the information, Danzo-sama. If there is nothing else, I still have some business to take care of in the lower clan, so I will leave now."

There is no rush for the Hokage issue, as there are people who are more anxious than him anyway.

With that, Shisui turned around and prepared to leave, but at that moment, eight Root ninjas suddenly appeared and surrounded him.

Shisui turned around and looked at Danzo.

Danzo's eyes were complicated and his expression was uncertain, and he seemed a little hesitant.

After a few breaths, he finally made a decision. A murderous look flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to signal that he was ready to take action.

At this moment, his raised hand suddenly paused, and he saw three Uchiha clan ninjas suddenly standing on the two stone statues, staring at Danzo with their three magatama in their eyes.

These are Shisui's guards. How could he come alone to meet a dangerous person like Danzo?

Danzo looked at Shisui in surprise. He really didn't expect that the other party would bring guards with him when he saw him. It seemed that the other party had indeed matured a lot after becoming the clan leader.

However, he did not panic. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and the eight ninjas immediately retreated. Shisui also nodded and let the three leave.

The test was over, and Danzo went straight to the point.

"What does that mean?"

Shisui smiled gently, immediately understanding the other party's intention.

On the night he became the clan leader, he met Danzo who was waiting for him on his way back to the clan land after explaining everything to the Sandaime.

The two had a brief conversation.

Shisui was once very curious about why Danzo was so hostile to the Uchiha clan, but he got the ridiculous reply that "the Uchiha clan is a clan of hatred".

Shisui then activated an illusion, and sighed softly in it: "It turned out to be such a boring answer. I actually imagined that you would have a different attitude if you became Hokage. What a pity."

This whisper troubled Danzo for months.

Suppressing the Uchiha was the policy left by his teacher. For the sake of Konoha, he had always regarded it as a guiding principle and adhered to it all along, even at the cost of personal experiments to understand the opponent's weaknesses.

But now, if he makes a little concession, he may have a chance to become Hokage. If he can become Hokage, then Uchiha's problems will be solved, including the threat from the north. He is confident that he can solve it easily and even do more for Konoha. This makes him hesitant for a moment, not knowing how to choose.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Uchiha clan supports a ninja outside the family to become Hokage, then that person's chances of winning will be at least 20% higher.

Of course, if you support the ninjas within the clan, then it will only be 20%.

So, is it Naruto or is it perseverance?
"What do you mean?"

Shisui smiled gently and explained, "It probably means that only those with vision can become Hokage, not that becoming a Hokage will make you have vision."

"Are you kidding me?"

"The Uchiha have always valued integrity. It all depends on what Lord Danzo chooses. Konoha is in turmoil right now and needs a new force to nourish it.

But I believe in the vision of the Third Hokage. As long as the Hokage speaks, the Uchiha will respond for Konoha."

Shisui said, no longer paying attention to Danzo, and turned away.

Danzo looked at Shisui's back and stopped worrying.

Naruto, hold on?
He did all this just for Konoha!
