Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 152: Fighting and Assassinating Yan Shifan

In Konoha, there are only a few days left before the Jonin Conference.

It was already deep winter, the weather was very cold, with occasional light snow.

The cold weather did not cool down the scorching atmosphere in Konoha at all.

"I was wondering, I just heard the clan leader say that the people of the Nara clan have always been smart and sensible, and have always been the Hokage's right-hand man. How come someone so jumpy suddenly popped up? It turns out that he wants to make further progress."

In the inner streets of Konoha, Yan Shifan and his men were preparing to go to the police department, but on the way they met Nara Suzaku who was hurrying on his way.

When the two met, Nara Suzaku made a bitter face and wanted to turn around and leave, but unfortunately the two had already met, so he had to say hello first.

Yan Shifan, however, looked at the person in front of him with a forced smile and spoke sarcastically.

Nara Suzaku cursed in his heart but didn't dare to express it directly. He could only hint: "The Nara clan always obeys the orders of the Hokage and never acts on their own. There is nothing we can do this time."

Nara Suzaku was feeling depressed. The two sides were fighting and they were putting him, a man pretending to be dead, on the spot. What had he done to offend anyone?

The open and covert struggles between Uchiha and his two assistants have become very intense.

Yan Shifan used the story of Sarutobi and the Yuhi clan to make the various ninja clans in the village understand the situation of the Third Generation. The intimidation of the two assistants who pretended to be the Hokage was greatly reduced.

Yan Shifan used various means of coercion and inducement. These large and medium-sized families were powerful and it was impossible for everyone to be clean. As long as the police department was willing, they could always find problems. The constant suppression and temptation had caused more and more families to turn to Uchiha.

Naturally, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En were unwilling to see this situation, so they could only take action again and again, taking away the people captured by the Police Department in the name of the Hokage.

But the people can be found, but the shops and businesses cannot be touched. The solid evidence enables Uchiha to firmly grasp the power of law enforcement.

And as the two of them continued to meddle in these matters, rumors in the village grew more and more intense, and the prestige of the Hokage plummeted.

When power and rumors were not enough to influence the Uchiha, the two assistants suddenly found that they had no way to deal with the Uchiha.

The Uchiha clan has also brought many benefits to those families that have surrendered first. The ninja clan is not united, so what can they use to deal with the Uchiha clan?

Therefore, in order to rally people's hearts and distinguish between loyalty and treachery, the Konoha high-level officials chose to push forward Nara Suzaku. Of course, they also knew that Nara Suzaku would definitely not be willing, so they took the initiative to confirm the matter. By the time Nara Suzaku knew about it, it was too late and he had no choice but to get on board.

Later, Yan Shifan and Shishui discovered that some villagers began to spread the achievements of Nara Suzaku over the years.

When these words appeared at this critical moment, the two of them quickly realized something.

"Hahaha, who knows, maybe I'll be carved on the Hokage Rock someday, but I don't know if I can hold on until then."

Yan Shifan could certainly hear the other party's hidden meaning, but he didn't care. Disagreement meant rejection.

Nara Suzaku's face turned dark. Ever since Uchiha Shiban entered the police department, Uchiha was like a different surname. Although he used to be arrogant but brainless, the current Uchiha is not only difficult to deal with but also very domineering, and the other party is more powerful.

"The Third Elder is joking."

Nara Suzaku forced a smile and didn't want to get entangled with the other party any more, so he just said that he had official business to attend to and wanted to get away.

"It's all for Konoha's sake, so please do as you please."

Seeing this, Yan Shifan stopped making things difficult and raised his hand to signal.

Nara Suzaku said politely, "Third Elder, please go first."

"Ah."

Yan Shifan nodded, then left with his men.

"Tsk~"

After Yan Shifan walked away, Nara Suzaku curled his lips and then cried out that he was unlucky.

"It's really troublesome. Those two old guys are also troublesome. They have to force me to this point. It's troublesome!"

Police Department.

"No news from Danzo yet?"

After Yan Shifan arrived at the police department, he discussed the next steps with Shisui in the office.

"Ever since the third generation fell into a coma, Danzo has been staying in the Root and has not come out. I don't know what he is doing."

"Maybe he ran away from the village secretly?"

Shisui was puzzled. It had come to this critical moment. Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En had been forced into a corner. Even Nara Suzaku was pushed out to challenge them. It was obvious that they wanted to push Nara Suzaku to become the Hokage, but Danzo was unmoved.

"He must be waiting in some corner to backstab us, but there's no need to pay attention to him. The most urgent task is to take down the Jonin Council. If he doesn't want to show his head, just throw him aside."

According to the agreement, Danzo met some of the Uchiha's requirements, and the Uchiha helped him become Hokage.

But now that Danzo was no longer protecting them from the top, there was no need for them to fulfill their promise.

So in the face of the stupid moves of Utane and Koharu, Yan Shifan decisively pushed Shisui aside and gave Shisui the preparations originally made for Danzo.

Both sides continued to build up momentum, and now the deeds of Shisui and Nara Suzaku, as well as various rumors about the two, are spread everywhere in the village.

The fight between the two sides was gradually noticed by the ninjas, and now it was time for them to take sides.

"Should we wait a little longer? It's difficult to become Hokage in one step. Those families are not sincere in their allegiance. If something unexpected happens, they will definitely turn against us."

Shisui did not quite agree with Yan Shifan's method, which was too radical.

His original idea was to help Danzo become Hokage. Based on their understanding of Danzo, as long as he became Hokage, he would inevitably lead the village onto the wrong path. He would then use this opportunity to win over the hearts of the people and find a suitable opportunity to take the position. With Danzo as a comparison, he believed that those people would naturally compromise.

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry. Those people are just opportunists. Their interests have been tied to Uchiha by me. As long as Uchiha doesn't fall completely, they will be obedient. No one can go against interests.

Moreover, we already have the support of nearly 40% of the jonin in the village. If we keep working hard in the next few days, as long as we have the support of these people, it is a foregone conclusion that you will become the Hokage this time.

Unless Danzo cooperates with those two guys, but considering their current situation, it seems unlikely."

The two of them first took advantage of Danzo's unpreparedness to join forces to undermine the Anbu, and then joined forces with the Third Generation to completely deprive Danzo of his command of the Anbu.

Danzo was even more ruthless. He set an ambush and assassinated the two men, but unfortunately he failed. In the end, he suffered heavy losses and even lost his Wood Release ninja.

The two sides are fighting for power and risking their lives. Yan Shifan doesn't think they can still unite. Of course, the main reason is that he is sure that Danzo will never support Nara Suzaku to become Hokage.

Shishui was silent and did not respond immediately. What Yan Shifan did was somewhat different from what Sima Yi taught him, and he fell into deep thought.

However, he would not stop now. He just said, "Since it has been decided, let's invite some ninjas to the clan to exchange ninjutsu before the Jonin meeting."

Yan Shifan's eyes moved, and he nodded in agreement, "That's fine." After Shishui finished speaking, he added, "Also, prices have risen recently. I have some spare money now, so I can buy more basic supplies and sell them at a low price, which can also be considered as helping the villagers. Teacher, can you find someone to keep an eye on them and don't let those people make trouble?"

"Oh?"

Yan Shifan looked at Shishui deeply. He didn't expect that Shishui knew this. However, he quickly remembered Sima Yi. It was not surprising that he was taught by that guy.

"I don't know what's happening with that guy in the north. I hope he gets well soon."

"Leave these to me. I will slow down recently and focus on winning over the people. I will not cause chaos in Konoha."

Shisui smiled upon hearing this, "I believe in the teacher's ability."

The two smiled, talked for a while, and then went about their business.

Hokage Building.

"Weren't many of the Uchiha's shops divided up? How did they manage to hold out for so long?"

Utane Koharu asked, frowning as she looked at the information in her hand.

Given the situation of the Uchiha and the nature of the police department, it is impossible for them to recruit a large number of mid-level ninjas.
The monthly salaries of so many high-level ninjas are not small, and with the burden of the Uchiha clan, the funds of the police department should be far from enough.

"I don't know. I'm keeping a close eye on the store they recently closed down. Even though we can't get it, the Uchiha can't use it either."

"Let Suzaku investigate. I have a feeling that this little bastard Shisui has done a lot of things in secret."

Mizuto Menen frowned, but did not refute and nodded in agreement.

"Also, the people we sent to persuade Tsunade disappeared, and the people we sent to find Jiraiya also disappeared. The Uchiha must have noticed it, and they have been keeping an eye on us."

Nominating Nara Suzaku was a helpless move. The Nara clan was too slippery. After the third generation fell into a coma, they wanted Nara Suzaku's help several times during the battle with Uchiha, but he refused with various excuses. In addition, Danzo was always making trouble, which made the Nara clan continue to remain neutral.

Now that Danzo has stopped, and the person they chose is unwilling to succeed the Hokage, they can only pick a taller one among the short ones to take over.

"Moreover, recently the third elder of the Uchiha family has begun to have people approach my family land intentionally or unintentionally. He must have discovered something. This person is too difficult to deal with. Since he entered the police department, the police department has completely lost control. He must be eliminated."

There was a murderous intent in Utane Koharu's eyes. They didn't want to do such a thing unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, he was an Uchiha. Once he went crazy, Konoha would suffer.

"Hey, why don't you send your men to the frontline? Why are you still staying in the tribe?"

Mizuto Menen looked haggard. In his opinion, Utatane Koharu was too reckless. It would have been fine if she just wanted to save the person, but after getting the person out, she was soft-hearted and hid her niece in the clan land.

Now the Uchiha have made it public that these people were sent to the front line for their crimes. Once these people are discovered in Konoha, the consequences will be disastrous.

"I"

Uta-ne Koharu looked embarrassed and whispered, "I didn't expect the Third Elder to be so cruel. He kept causing trouble after the announcement and arrested so many people. Now he has sent people to guard all parts of the village and won't let go of any disturbance. I don't have a chance to get anyone out."

Mito Kado En sighed, "We have no choice but to take action now. Although Shisui is strong, he is much easier to deal with than this man. If we keep the Third Elder, Shisui might really be pushed to the position of Hokage, and then we will be passive."

"Okay, gather the people and start tonight!"

The two of them discussed a strategy, and time soon came to evening.

After Yan Shifan dealt with the matters assigned by Shisui, he left the police department under the protection of several Uchiha ninjas as usual.

'It's time to find a sedan chair.'

Although Yan Shifan has opened the Sharingan with the help of the panel and also has chakra in his body, he seldom practices and his body is not as good as Sima Yi's. Besides, the purpose of life is to enjoy it!
Yan Shifan stepped on the snow water, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. He had already caught the tail of those guys. As long as he was given some more time, he could pull those people out directly.

There is no other possibility for a ninja like this who flees in the middle of a battle except death. He wants to see how Utane Koharu can protect her niece this time.

How dare these little people jump out to hinder him? They really don't know how to live or die.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Yan Shifan looked up. The snow seemed to be falling even faster.

"Hahaha, auspicious snow means a good harvest. It's a good sign. We should have a good harvest next year."

Yan Shifan smiled, but unfortunately no one responded, and the people around him were all silent.

He sighed and continued walking, but he didn't notice that the further he went, the fewer people there were, until one moment he was pulled out of his own world by the people behind him.

Without waiting for him to frown and ask, the person in front of him directly drew out his sword and swung it quickly.

dong dong dong~
The sword shadows were dense and difficult to catch. Sparks flew in the air and large numbers of shurikens were knocked down.

Yan Shifan's face changed, but the people around him had already taken out their weapons and protected him tightly.

The sound of the iron colliding was like a signal, and dense shurikens and kunai immediately appeared around, and the attacks poured down like a rainstorm. Everyone attacked at the same time, throwing shurikens back.

During this period, there were a lot of detonating talismans mixed in, and there were constant explosions all around, causing a lot of noise.

Although Yan Shifan had died once, his own strength was low and he could only barely remain calm.

"Damn it! These guys are desperate. Go back to the police department and call for help immediately!"

However, the people around him ignored him, and one of them even carried him on his back and quickly moved aside.

After they dodged, they saw a large area of ​​earth spikes rising from where they had been.

Then, perhaps seeing that both attempts did not work, the person hiding in the dark could no longer hold back and rushed out.

Yan Shifan took a quick look and saw that there were twelve people in total. They surrounded the five of them and rushed forward without any hesitation.

The four men stayed close to Yan Shifan, and the two sides started fighting immediately.

Meanwhile, the Police Department.

Since many matters in the Police Department were handed over to Yan Shifan and some assistants, Shisui had a lot of free time, but at Yan Shifan's suggestion, he still stayed in the Police Department just to pretend to work, hiding in the office to study sealing techniques, and was always the last one to leave every night.

The same thing happened tonight, but the tribesman he sent to monitor Yan Shifan suddenly returned and said anxiously, "The Third Elder was attacked in the outer streets!"

bang~
So brave!

"Call someone!"

Shisui's deep voice sounded, and he instantly rushed out of the police department and headed straight for the outer streets.

The ninja in the office immediately conveyed the order and then directly released the clone. At the same time, the original body far away in the clan territory immediately received the news. He quickly found Uchiha Kyohei and led the clan guards to kill outside.
