Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 130 Sarutobi's Sorrow
The next morning, Yan Shifan and Sima Yi got up early and talked in the study after breakfast.

Shisui greeted the two and went to the police department to work.

For the rest of the day, Sima Yi told Yan Shifan about matters inside and outside the clan, including matters concerning Fugaku, the elders, the Hokage, Danzo, and Orochimaru. He told Yan Shifan everything.

With so many things, an ordinary person would not be able to write them down with a pen, but Yan Shifan had an extraordinary memory. After reading it once, he understood everything clearly and had many insights.

The two became more familiar with each other during the conversation. Sima Yi wanted to get rid of the matter so that he would have time to study the sealing technique and explore ways to increase his strength.

Yan Shifan had just arrived and was full of energy. He was still depressed from his previous life and wanted to do something. Two days later, the two of them handed over all the clan affairs one by one.

On this day, Shisui was still handling official business in the police department as usual. Many ninjas in the village had already received notices to go north. People's hearts were becoming more and more restless, conflicts among villagers occurred from time to time, and signs of espionage activities were gradually discovered. The affairs of the police department were very busy.

He was looking at the trial documents when Hui suddenly came over and said, "Shisui, there's news. Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the leader of the jonin squad set out in secret early this morning. If they succeed in getting the daimyo's funding, Uncle Yi and I should set off."

"time is limited."

Shisui sighed, then asked, "How is the procurement of supplies needed by the tribe going?"

"Uncle Yi had already made preparations and had already purchased all the basic supplies. Now that the clan's financial pressure has eased a bit, Uncle Yi also prepared many secret medicines according to the family's secret recipes.

But I saw Uncle Yi also packed a lot of scrolls. He really likes to look at these things."

"Haha, grandpa is a person who can't sit still. He is either studying various subjects or handling affairs. He is also very self-disciplined in his life. I can learn something from him, which is enough for me to benefit from for the rest of my life.

By the way, Brother Hui must protect Grandpa during this trip, and it’s best if you stay with him all the time. Grandpa is the future of Uchiha, and he must not be allowed to fail!"

Shisui looked at Hui with a serious expression and spoke in a deep voice.

Hui naturally knew the importance of Sima Yi, and nodded repeatedly, promising: "Don't worry, unless we are all dead, we will never let anyone touch Uncle Yi!"

Shisui also knew that Hui would definitely protect Sima Yi, but the worry in his heart was hard to relieve.

"Let's talk to Jiraiya later. I hope he can help look after things."

Shisui sighed softly, like a little nagging woman; Hui shook his head speechlessly and turned away.

In the evening, due to busy work, Shisui came back later than usual. Sima Yi and Yan Shifan were still reading and chatting in the study after dinner. After Shisui told them about Shinnosuke, they looked at each other with inexplicable eyes.

"Since he has already set out, the time for the army to set out will not be far away. Check the changes inside and outside the tribe again to avoid any chaos. Then, rest early and get enough rest."

".All right."

Shisui looked at the two of them with a resentful look and had to leave. He originally wanted to chat more with Sima Yi, but he didn't expect that he would be asked to leave after just saying one sentence.

After Zhishui left, Yan Shifan said with a smile: "This boy is kind-hearted. Mr. Zhongda is really envious of having such a grandson."

Sima Yi also stroked his beard and chuckled, "In this world, people are like ants, their lives are worthless, how can it be a good thing to be kind by nature?"

Although it was a denial, Sima Yi nodded repeatedly.

Yan Shifan naturally saw this and knew that the two of them had a close relationship. He put aside some thoughts for the time being and waved his hand, saying, "If he understood worldly affairs, you and I would not have come here. Now that we are here, we should show what we have learned and help him get rid of these troubles.

Now, with such a good opportunity, what do you think, Mr. Zhongda?"

Sima Yi looked at Yan Shifan and smiled. "It's up to you. However, if this move is exposed, he might hate it. I'm afraid Deqiu will suffer some injustice."

Yan Shifan stood up and laughed, and said righteously: "Hahaha, for Shisui, I can endure any hardship, a few grievances are nothing!"

"Then there is Loudball."

The two looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.

"Sir, there is news."

Late at night, at the Root base, Danzo's eyes became increasingly gloomy after taking the letter. He snorted coldly and tightly grasped it in his hand. The wind-style chakra dissipated and turned it into debris in an instant.

"Does Hiruzen really think of the Hokage as his own? He even wants to train this brat. He doesn't care about Konoha at all."

After that, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he said sinisterly: "For Konoha, I will never allow this to happen!"

Two days later, all the tribes in the village were ready, and the civilian ninjas who received the transfer order also took out their coffin books and tried their best to purchase life-saving items so that they could be ready to go north at any time.

There were two people taking care of the Uchiha clan affairs so Shisui didn't need to do anything more. After he found out about Jiraiya that day, he deliberately rushed to meet him.

At this time, Jiraiya was leisurely watching little Naruto and Sasuke wrestling with each other. He was very surprised at the relationship between the two.

The two little guys are not very old, but they are ruthless when they attack. They are all hello one second, and hello everyone the next second.

The two of them fell out faster than turning the pages of a book.

However, the Anbu who took care of Naruto only made sure he didn't starve to death and didn't care whether he had enough nutrition. Sasuke was born in the Uchiha clan and had been well-nourished since childhood. He was also older than Naruto. At this moment, he took advantage of his advantage to press Naruto to the ground and pulled the corner of his mouth.

Although Naruto was defeated, he was not willing to be outdone. He stretched out his hand to pull Sasuke's face and said incoherently: "Itachi-brother told me to call him that. It's none of your business!"

"No, that's my brother, you are not allowed to yell!"

"Just yell, crybaby, Itachi-nii wouldn't have a petty brother like you~"

"You, you are the crybaby, you are the cat-faced ghost!"

"You stinky ass~"

The two of them were shouting at each other and fighting fiercely. Jiraiya was grinning and watching with great pleasure, with no intention of breaking up the fight.

He didn't turn around until he noticed someone approaching. Seeing it was Shisui, he asked curiously, "It's Shisui, shouldn't you be busy right now? How did you find time to come here? Did Itachi ask you to do this?"

In order to avoid suspicion, even though the Third Hokage allowed Naruto to interact with the Uchiha under Jiraiya's care, Shisui still avoided it whenever possible.

So every time he met Jiraiya and Naruto, he would walk away on the pretext of being busy, which made Jiraiya tease him.

Shisui scratched his head and smiled shyly, feeling a little embarrassed. He had come here on his own initiative because he had something to ask for.

Glancing at the two people who were struggling, Shisui hesitated for a moment, and without hiding anything, he spoke directly: "Actually, there are some things I want to discuss with Master Jiraiya, but it is true that I haven't seen Master Jiraiya and Naruto for a long time. It happens to be time for dinner, can we have a meal together?"

It was past ten in the morning, and it was not time for lunch yet, but Jiraiya did not refuse. Instead, he patted Shisui's shoulder and sighed, "You still say these things. This is the price of growing up."

After that, he smiled and said, "Since you have something to ask, then you can treat us. We will go to eat barbecue, but Naruto has a big appetite, so you must prepare the money. Don't say that I, as your senior, bullied you when the time comes."

Shisui nodded repeatedly and said bluntly: "I still have this little money, please don't be polite to me~" Jiraiya laughed and then turned around and shouted: "Naruto, Sasuke, stop fighting, Shisui will treat us, we will have barbecue for lunch today!"

"BBQ!"

Naruto's eyes suddenly cleared up while he was struggling. A force burst out from his body and kicked Sasuke away. Then he stood up with a somersault and ran to Jiraiya, looking at the two of them with surprise.

"Big brother, are we having barbecue for lunch today? That's great!"

Naruto's mouth was watering. He didn't have to eat black food at noon anymore. Long live Uchiha!
Naruto cheered, but Sasuke sat on the ground in a daze, not reacting for a moment.

How did I fly out?

It was not until Shisui stepped forward and wiped off the dirt that Naruto had put on Sasuke's face that some light appeared in his eyes. He looked at Naruto angrily, like a punching bag.

The two men stared at each other, and Shisui did not try to stop them. They would all be ninjas in the future, and fighting was just a small matter. It would be a good thing for the Uchiha if they could form a bond because of it.

Amid the noise, the four arrived at the barbecue restaurant. Since it was still early, there were not many people in the restaurant, so they quickly began to feast on the food.

Naruto ate one piece at a time, his mouth full of oil and his expression very satisfied. Shisui's grilling speed could not keep up with the speed of his swallowing.

"Delicious! Brother Shisui, you are truly the best Uchiha in the world, a hundred times, a thousand times better than that stinking fellow."

Naruto said this with a laugh and looked at Sasuke provocatively.

Sasuke's face turned red with anger, he didn't understand why Shisui had snatched the position of clan leader. He only knew that because of Shisui, his father and brother now often had time to accompany him.

So he also likes Shisui very much. When he heard what Naruto said, he hugged Shisui's arm and said, "This is my brother Shisui, eat the meat quickly and don't shout!"

Seeing the two men about to fight again, Shisui had no choice but to stop them, then found a moment to bring up Sima Yi with Jiraiya.

"My grandfather is a bit old and his strength is average, but the family ninjas who are supporting this time cannot do without his dispatch, so I would like to ask Master Jiraiya to take care of them."

"Um, your grandpa?"

Jiraiya had some doubts. He only remembered Uchiha Kagami and didn't know much about Shisui's family affairs.

Seeing this, Shisui explained everything to him, and the two talked a lot about Sima Yi. Jiraiya gradually got to know Sima Yi. After learning that everything Shisui learned was taught by Sima Yi, and that Uchiha's current situation was also taught by Sima Yi, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that the other party did not die in the war, otherwise Konoha would probably have been hit by civil strife.

"I didn't expect there is such a person among the Uchiha. Don't worry, I will do my best to help. If he is really so wise, maybe the village will have to rely on him after he goes to the north."

Jiraiya agreed immediately, but when he mentioned the North, he remembered that he would be leaving soon, and wanted to find someone to take care of Naruto, but unfortunately there was no suitable candidate.

It would definitely not be appropriate for Shisui. No matter how much he trusted Shisui, he would never let the Uchiha people take care of Naruto alone.

Then we can only hand it over to the third generation temporarily.

The four of them ate for more than an hour, with Naruto eating the amount for three people alone. Shisui looked at the stacked plates and couldn't believe how Naruto's little stomach could hold so much meat.

"You are growing up, so it's good to eat more."

Jiraiya found it somewhat strange that a thirteen-year-old boy could speak in such an advanced manner.

Naruto looked at Sasuke proudly with his bulging belly as if he was praised. Sasuke snorted and forced himself to eat a piece of barbecue in anger.

When it came time to pay the bill, Shisui felt heartbroken when he saw the nearly fifty thousand taels of cash.

Although he had been spending money like water in order to train his clansmen and build up the clan territory, he was very frugal except for the expenses of cultivation and seldom carried money in his pocket. The expenditure of 50,000 taels directly emptied his wallet.

"You idiot, I'm still better. You haven't even eaten half as much as I have. I will definitely be taller than you in the future!"

"Hmph~ boring!"

Shisui carried Sasuke on his back and Jiraiya carried Naruto on his back, and both of them were so exhausted that they could not walk anymore.

"Alright Sasuke, say goodbye to Naruto, we have to go back to our clan land."

"Humph~"

"Humph~"

The two of them turned their heads away at the same time. Shisui had no choice but to say to Jiraiya: "Then I will take Sasuke back. I will leave my grandfather's affairs to Jiraiya-sama."

"It's okay, go ahead~"

The four of them separated, Sasuke and Naruto secretly turned around and looked at each other, but when they were discovered by the other party, they quickly turned away, and then continued to sneak glances until they could no longer see each other.

Shisui noticed Sasuke's actions, smiled, and deliberately asked: "Sasuke seems to hate Naruto, why don't you stop playing with him in the future."

Sasuke was thinking about how to beat Naruto tomorrow, and immediately shook his head and said, "No~"

"Hmm? Why? Don't you hate him? If you do, don't force yourself. Itachi and I won't force you."

"Actually, he's not that bad. He can be quite nice sometimes."

"Is that so? If you don't hate it, then you like it?"

"Eh? Who, who would like that kind of guy? He's such a jerk. I only play with him because I feel sorry for him. He doesn't have a father or a mother anymore. If I ignore him, he would be too pitiful."

Shisui was stunned, he didn't expect that two two-year-old children would start to care about such things.

"That's right. Then you must protect Naruto well in the future. That child will probably be hated by many people in the future. If even you hate him, he will have no friends."

"Really?"

"Ah."

"It doesn't matter, he just needs to be friends with me!"

Sasuke didn't know what he was thinking of, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although he was behind Shisui, he was still noticed by Shisui.

Bond, it's great~
After sending Sasuke back, Shisui continued his work. Two days later, Hui suddenly ran over anxiously with a serious expression.

Thinking it was news of the daimyo's funding, Shisui was sighing over the pain of separation when he heard Teru say in a deep voice: "Sarutobi Shinnosuke and his wife Sarutobi Yuki, both of them were killed along with their guards on the way to Kyoto. All eight of them were dead!"

It’s too rushed. I missed a long time of classes today and I still have a lot of schedules to do. I came back at ten o’clock and barely finished it. I’ll look at it tomorrow.
