Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 14: More than just a means

"Master Shisui, after many attempts, we have confirmed that all the Kirigakure ninjas in the Kirigakure camp have been evacuated, and no traces of Kirigakure ninjas have been found in the surrounding areas."

The next day at noon, Koizumi Satsuki returned from his mission and brought information about the Kirigakure camp to Shisui.

"Thank you for your hard work. Brother Hui still needs to help me with other matters. I have to leave these tasks to you."

Although Koizumi Satsuki looks to be thirty years old, she is actually only slightly older than Uchiha Teru. She felt a little restrained when she heard this.

"No, no, no, this is what we should do. It's better to say that we are a burden to Lord Shisui. Sorry!"

Koizumi Mayu bowed and apologized. He had done this action countless times and he did not feel any discomfort even though the other party was a boy much younger than him.

Shisui was standing in front of the desk holding the intelligence in his hand. When he saw Koizumi Satsuki in such a posture, a strange look flashed in his eyes. Then he seemed to remember something and immediately threw down the intelligence in his hand and walked around the desk.

He walked forward with a gentle expression and slowly helped the other person up in the shocked gaze.

"Koizumi Jonin, please don't be like this. We are all partners here, and we are all part of Konoha. Protecting you is my Uchiha responsibility!"

"partner!"

"Uchiha's responsibility!"

Koizumi Satsuki was shocked, thinking that he was born a commoner, and except for the time when he and his noble classmates called each other partners when they were still in the ninja school, no powerful ninja had ever called him the word "partner" in more than ten years.

Over the years, he has long understood the cruelty of the ninja world and the significance of his existence to the village.

"Can someone like me be considered a companion of Shisui-sama?"

He was a little dazed and asked unconsciously.

"Of course. You are willing to risk your life to support us. Aren't you my partner?"

"No, it's just"

Koizumi Satsuki's expression suddenly changed. He didn't dare to face Shisui's gaze. He lowered his head and wanted to explain, to explain the cruel truth.

Suddenly, there was a snap.

Shisui grabbed his arms tightly, his voice high, "What are you feeling guilty about? Look up, I just know you're already standing here, aren't you?"

Koizumi Satsuki was stunned, his body trembling slightly. Facing Shisui's sincere gaze, he wavered, his eyes red and he nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry, I'm such a grown-up, but I still made you laugh at me, ahahaha~"

Koizumi Mayu sobbed and laughed, wiping the wet marks from her eyes.

"No, you are willing to reveal your true self in front of me. Doesn't this just prove that you treat me as a partner?" Shisui didn't laugh at him, but said it sincerely.

"Hahaha, that's true. Thank you, Master Shisui."

"This is a military camp, so there's no way to address me like that. But if you meet me in Konoha, just call me by my name."

"Yes!"

After calming down, Koizumi Satsuki left the tent. Outside the tent, he saw the old man from the Uchiha clan who had stayed in Shisui's tent yesterday.

The other party seemed to have been standing outside the tent for some time.

When he thought of this, his face turned red and he grinned awkwardly. The two looked at each other, nodded and walked away.

Passing the other party, he was faced with his team members, two men and one woman, three genin who had graduated just over a year ago.

"You're so slow, teacher!"

"Eh? Teacher, why are your eyes red?"

"Really? Could it be that our intelligence was wrong and you were taught a lesson by Shisui-sama?"

"Is this true? You're already crying because I just told you two things? Your teacher is such a lame duck!"

"No, you can't talk about the teacher like that, apologize now~"

"Wulusai, you little brats, what do you know? Go on patrol!" "Hey~~"

The voice was getting farther and farther away. Sima Yi stood outside the tent and looked back. His expression remained calm, but his heart was filled with complicated feelings.

He recalled what Shisui had just said, and for a moment he didn't know whether to feel relieved or helpless.

It's true that he learned the method, but it was too crude. Hearing his toes tapping on his shoes gave me goosebumps and I really didn't want to get close to the tent.

But
Looking at Koizumi Satsuki walking away, Sima Yi felt a little confused.

The effect was too good to be true, so good that it exceeded his expectations.

When he entered the tent, Shishui was already standing there waiting with a smile on his face. He had already noticed Sima Yi's arrival.

He stood aside and looked straight at Sima Yi, with a hint of expectation unconsciously revealed in his eyes.

Sima Yi stroked his beard and nodded gently, "You did well. The Uchiha are lucky to have you."

"Hey, really? No no no, this is all taught by the teacher. Thank you, teacher!"

Looking at the sincere young man in front of him, he vaguely saw the shadow of another person, a person he had not had much contact with but was very familiar with, a lord recognized by his old rival who had fought with him for so many years.

It was not until this moment that he realized that perhaps it was not just a means that could achieve such an effect.

"Teacher, teacher? Teacher, what's wrong with you? Do you want to take a rest?"

"Hmm? Ah, haha, it's okay, I just remembered some old things, but what I just said is not false, it is a blessing for Uchiha and Konoha to have you."

Shisui didn't understand why the teacher emphasized this and felt quite embarrassed, but since the teacher said so, he chose to believe it anyway.

He nodded heavily in response, "Yes, teacher, I will try my best!"

"Oh, help me take a look at this."

Sima Yi took out a scroll from his arms. This was the ninjutsu scroll he had asked for from Shisui, and it recorded a lot of ninjutsu.

"After reading carefully these days, I have been able to extract chakra. Last night, I opened these eyes."

As Sima Yi spoke, chakra gathered in his eyes, and a pair of single magatama Sharingan appeared in front of Shisui.

"This is the single magatama Sharingan, the first stage of the Sharingan. You are worthy of being a teacher!"

This was the first time I had heard of a fifty-year-old man opening his eyes and stopping the water, and I couldn't help but feel surprised.

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me. After I extracted the chakra, my eyes awakened automatically. It should be..."

He paused here, but Shisui knew what he meant.

"The panel?"

Score: 0
Military Advisor: Sima Yi
He remembered that when the panel appeared, he was told that the points could be used to increase the strength of the military advisor.

"I can get a point every year, and I can use this point to improve the teacher's strength, and maybe help the teacher's Sharingan evolve."

This speculation was approved by Sima Yi, but he refused.

"My increased strength won't help the situation, so I still have to be careful with how I use my points. But I'm very interested in this."

Sima Yi pointed to the part that recorded the sealing technique and asked, "How is your sealing technique? Does the Uchiha clan have a complete inheritance?"

"I only have a basic understanding of sealing techniques, and few people in the clan are interested in sealing techniques. However, there are many related scrolls. As long as I go back and apply to clan leader Fugaku, he will definitely agree."

This is the advantage of a big family. There is no need to worry about ninjutsu. As long as they have talent and interest, there is always a path that suits them.

Sima Yi was not happy after getting a positive answer. Instead, he heard another concern.

"You mean, very few people in the clan are interested in sealing techniques?"
