Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 140: Rain in the Brocade, Captain of the Fifth Squadron

"Who are you? How did you get in? Stop them!"

The West River Road is located in the western part of the Fire Kingdom, adjacent to the River Kingdom and the Rain Kingdom. Although it is guarded by the ninja army, the forces are intertwined and the people are mixed, making people's lives difficult.

Rumble~
In the evening, although it was already December, the climate here was rather peculiar. The heavy rain that had been brewing for several days suddenly poured down, and the sky and the earth were all dark. Only with the occasional thunder and lightning could one see something clearly.

In the rain, in a manor covering an area of ​​more than 20 acres, Takudai Yamazaki looked at two figures slowly walking out of the yard with a hint of fear in his eyes.

I saw two people wearing conical hats and red and black clothes, and they were hard to see clearly in the rain.

When the two men approached and walked under the light, Yamazaki Takuda discovered that their faces were covered with a black cloth, and even their eyes were blocked by special glasses.

The clothes were red and black, and the style was very strange, I had never seen them before.

Mantis legs, wasp waist, flying fish suit, and embroidered spring sword.

The two men let Yamazaki Taku cry for help and walked calmly into the hall, with rain dripping down their hats.

"Ninja?"

Seeing that the two people were dressed so strangely, Takuda Yamazaki guessed their identities and felt a little relieved.

Although this place is rather chaotic and survival is difficult, that is only for ordinary civilians.

Wars between ninjas rarely involve nobles, even ninjas from enemy countries are the same. This is almost an unwritten rule in the ninja world.

"Humph, I don't care who you are. If you dare to trespass into my territory, you will pay the price. Come on!"

Although Yamazaki Takudai was just a noble of medium status, he had some ninjas under his command, so he was not afraid of the two men. After scolding them, he continued to order his men to kick them out.

However, after three calls, there was silence, as if there were only three people left in the entire manor.

tick~
Raindrops dripped from the edge of the bamboo hat. The two men slowly walked forward and approached Yamazaki Takudai. There was no sound of footsteps, only the sound of dripping rain in the entire hall.

Silent pressure came upon him, and cold sweat broke out on Yamazaki Takuda's forehead. The fear in his heart could no longer be concealed.

"Did someone offer you to kill me? I'll pay you double just to ask you to leave. Besides, I'm a relative of the Daimyo and a noble. If you attack me, the Daimyo and Konoha won't let you go!"

Seeing the two people coming, he subconsciously stepped back. However, after years of being pampered, he had lost the courage of his youth. Faced with the fear of the unknown, his legs became weak, and his body could not respond to his brain. He collapsed to the ground, his body trembling slightly, and he could only watch the two people come to him.

"It's okay, it will be fine soon, it won't hurt."

A low voice came into my ears, and one of them slowly drew out a long sword. The silver blade reflected a terrified face.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

There was a flash of silver light, without any pain. Before the surroundings fell into darkness, Yamazaki Takudai vaguely saw two pairs of blood-red eyes.

Uh-huh~
The sound of the sword being drawn echoed in his ears, and the scene in front of him changed instantly. Yamazaki Takuda shuddered all over, and then he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

"A nightmare?" Yamazaki Takudai said subconsciously, and then he realized something was wrong, he was actually in the hall!

Looking around, he saw several guards standing beside him. These were the ninjas and samurai he hired. At the moment, they were looking at the yard with their swords in their hands, with a dazed look on their faces. No matter how he shouted, they didn't respond at all.

Glancing sideways, I saw a bright light suddenly appearing, illuminating the sky and the earth.

Rumble~
Then, there was a loud thunder, and Yamazaki Takuda's heart sank to the bottom.

In his field of vision, two figures stood in the rain, looking at him calmly, and their appearance was almost the same as in his dream.

The difference was that the two of them did not cover their eyes, and those blood-red eyes made Yamazaki Takuda immediately think of their identities.

"Uchiha"

"Ah? The police department is actually recruiting openly? Is this true?"

"No way, I've lived in Konoha for so long and this is the first time I've seen something like this."

"It means that the Uchiha have been in charge of the police department for fifty years, and I have never seen them recruit outsiders."

"Who said that, last time."

"The temporary tasks issued during the last rectification do not count!"

"Is there no one left in Uchiha? Are they really all going to the war?"

In Konoha, whether in the outer, inner or core areas, there were many people gathered in front of each announcement. They looked at the content of the announcement and kept discussing it.

Some people even pulled the police department members who had not had time to leave and asked them questions.

"Are the requirements for the police department's recruitment high? I'm just a genin, can I sign up?"

"Why are you a Genin? There has never been a Genin recruited into the police department. Let me ask. I am a Chunin."

Everyone seems to hate the Police Department, but when the news of the Police Department's recruitment was released, most of the ninjas in Konoha were excited.

You can curse as much as you want, but that’s the police department!
They hold high positions, are powerful and awe-inspiring, have high salaries and good treatment. Moreover, people in the police department do not need to leave the village to perform tasks, so there is almost no danger.

Less work, more money, close to home, safe and powerful, and envied by others, who doesn't like that?

As for being scolded?

Just a little bit of wind and frost.

As soon as the news was released, the smarter ninjas immediately ran to the police department to inquire about the details, but most of the people who came were civilians. All the ninjas knew that the situation in the police department had always been bad, so they were all waiting and watching.

Yan Shifan had made preparations early on and wrote down the recruitment rules and hung them in front of the police department so that anyone who came could see them at a glance.

"This recruitment will last for a total of seven days. Special jonin and jonin are exempt from the strength test. Only those who pass the thought test, have Konoha in their hearts, and understand the will of fire can join the police department."

"Chunins and Genins need to take a strength test first and fight against Chunins from the Police Department. Once they pass the test of thought and score, they can join the Police Department."

Someone read out the recruitment rules, and everyone was stunned. The rules were easy to understand, but...
"Genin can also join the police department?"

"How can a Genin protect the villagers of Konoha? No, the rules need to be changed!"

"It's not that simple, we all have to take a strength test, and the Chunin from the Police Department is from the Uchiha family.

Although he is only a Chunin, he must be an expert in the Uchiha clan to be able to enter the police department! How could a Genin pass it?"

There aren't many Chunins in the police department, but no one else knows whether they are Chunins or not, and they don't have a badge on their chests.

Yan Shifan used this method to assess the middle and lower ninjas just to search for talented ninjas.

Although the Uchiha Bloodline is powerful, it has too few people. If it wants to become stronger, it is inevitable to absorb outsiders.

As for ideological assessment, its role is even greater.

"Master Shisui, three assistants would like you to come to the Hokage building to discuss an important matter."

While everyone was discussing, several Anbu members suddenly appeared at the entrance of the police department and shouted.

With their arrival, everyone in the field gradually quieted down.

Shisui, who was in the police department, paused when he heard this. He knew someone would definitely come, but he didn't expect the person from the Anbu to be so tactful. Shisui didn't delay and immediately went out to look at the people and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll go right away."

The three of them were stunned and said they didn't dare.

In fact, the assistants' original words were not so polite or tactful.

However, they were all people who were recruited into the Anbu by Danzo before he fell from power, and are not taken seriously in the Anbu now.

They knew that they would leave the Anbu sooner or later, so they didn't want to offend the Uchiha for the two assistants, which is why they adjusted the two assistants' words.

Soon, Shisui arrived at the Hokage building with three guards and three ANBU.

Afterwards, Shisui entered the Hokage's office alone, and as soon as he entered, Utane Koharu started to scold him, "Uchiha Shisui, what do you mean by this, you are expanding without our permission, what do you want to do?
Don't you know that the village is at war with the Kingdom of Lightning? Where is the money to expand the police department? Take down those notices immediately!"

In theory, whether the police department expands is decided by the Uchiha clan leader himself, but the funding of the police department is in the hands of the Hokage. You can expand, or he can choose not to give you money.

With the Uchiha being restrained, they simply did not have much money to expand the police department without the permission of the Konoha high-level officials.

The one who controls Konoha's finances now is Mito Kado En. Compared to Utane Koharu, he is more stable and said in a relaxed tone: "Shisui, we know that a lot of things have happened in the village recently, and the police department has a lot of work to do, but the situation in the village is not optimistic. I hope you can understand."

Shisui remained calm the entire time and didn't argue, he took the document out of his arms and placed it in front of the three people.

Utane Koharu was stunned, his old eyelids slightly raised, his expression somewhat puzzled, and he quickly picked up the document to read it.

"Danzo, you."

After just a moment, Utane Koharu put down the documents, looked at Danzo in disbelief, and her voice was trembling.

Mizuto Menen's heart skipped a beat, and he also picked up the document to look through it, then glanced at Danzo and Shisui's faces with the same complicated expression.

Shouldn't these two people
"Look at what I'm doing. I asked you, didn't you all agree that the police department should make changes?"

Danzo's light explanation immediately extinguished the anger that had just risen in Utatane Koharu.

The two were speechless. They did agree to this matter, but who could have thought that it would be such a rectification? Who could have thought that Danzo, who always talked about suppressing and destroying the Uchiha, would suddenly turn against them.

Feeling that she was being unreasonable, Utatane Koharu simply said, "The village has no money now, so the expansion of the police department must stop!"

Mitokado En also nodded in response, "Shisui, please be considerate of the village. I will talk to Hiruzen about this matter. When the fifth generation is chosen, we will help you."

Danzo leaned back and didn't get involved. He had already done what he promised to the Uchiha, and it was none of his business if the village had no money.

“For the safety of the village, the police department needs to be expanded without delay and it will be done even if there is no money.

But the three assistants don’t have to worry. The village is in trouble this year, and the police department’s funds can be allocated as in the past.”

Shisui had never expected the three to give him money, he was going through the procedure just to make things public.

And not paying is not necessarily a bad thing.

The two men's faces darkened. Since Shisui didn't want any money, there was nothing they could say.

Utane Koharu thought for a moment and wanted to struggle again, but saw Shisui took out another document. The three of them were familiar with this document. It was the document that was originally drafted by the second generation, regarding the authority of the Uchiha and the Police Department.

Once this document came out, Utane Koharu had to hold back her anger and had to let Shisui leave quickly.

"The Uchiha's expansion at this time shows their wolfish ambitions. Danzo, you will definitely regret it if you cooperate with him!"

Utatane Koharu looked at Danzo with disappointment in her eyes. She didn't expect that Danzo would even indulge Uchiha for this position.

Danzo snorted coldly and stood up, saying in a serious tone: "When did I cooperate with Uchiha? The document was clearly agreed upon by the two of you, and now you want to blame it on me.

Besides, it is not your fault that the village has become like this. You only care about fighting for power and profit, ignoring the interests of the village and allowing some guys who are in office but do nothing to stay in the Anbu, which leads to frequent accidents.

Where were you when I was handling government affairs for the village day and night? It's too late to tell me these things now!"

After saying that, Danzo stood up and left, leaving the two of them looking at each other.

"Go find Hiruzen and show him who he has chosen, one is his trusted friend, and the other is his favored subordinate!"

Utane Koharu was furious and immediately got up to go to the Sarutobi clan's territory to discuss things with the Third Generation.

Mizuto Menyan grabbed her, then called a few Anbu to give them some instructions before setting off.

After returning to the Police Department, Shisui immediately asked people to spread the news that Konoha's upper echelons agreed to the expansion.

In this way, over the next three days, the number of ninjas who signed up exceeded eight hundred. However, most of them were mid- and low-level ninjas, and they were not young at all, so they had no value to be trained. Yan Shifan eliminated them in his mind with just one glance.

There were less than forty jonin and special jonin combined, and they were all waiting for the second round of testing by the Police Department.

Shisui frowned as he looked at the data in his hand and sighed, "Almost no ninjas have signed up. It seems that the top leaders of Konoha have done something."

Yan Shifan was drinking tea and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he didn't care.

"It doesn't matter. The police department is not the root, and they are not that united. Moreover, we are holding public tools. As long as we use reasonable threats and inducements to defeat them one by one, these people will soon compromise."

"Reasonable coercion and inducement?"

The corner of Shisui's mouth twitched. Public property, reasonableness, coercion or inducement didn't sound like anything related.

"Hahaha, that's right, but before that, we have to set a goal for them."

Yan Shifan raised his hand and pointed at a name in the list of Jonin (including special Jonin) and said, "That's him."

Shisui leaned over to look and suddenly realized.

The next day, at the Kurama tribe’s territory.

Kurama Ansai looked at Uchiha Tetsuka who came to his house early in the morning and almost dropped the bowl in his hand.

Since the last time clan leader Shisui helped them get rid of the Root threat, the Kurama clan once again chose to go all-in on the Uchiha clan.

As soon as the announcement from the Police Department came out, he immediately sent the only special jonin in the clan other than himself over there.

Uchiha did not disappoint him and the results came out within a few days.

"Master Tiehuo is visiting today. Is there any conclusion to Cong Yun's matter?"

Although he already knew it, Kurama Ansai still asked.

Tiehuo nodded and put down the clothes in his hand, then explained: "This is Murasaki's uniform. Lord Shisui has appointed Murasaki as the captain of the fifth squad of the police force. He can report to the police department today."

"team leader?!!"

Kurama Ansai was shocked. The reward came too quickly, making him a little uncomfortable.

Kurama Muyun was standing nearby at the moment. Hearing this, he asked in confusion, "Aren't we still going to conduct a thought test of the Will of Fire?"

"."

After hearing this, the two of them were stunned. After looking at each other, they looked at Kurama Congyun in disbelief.

Ok?
