Chapter 158 Late Night Talk
"Clan leader, this was sent by Uchiha, saying it was a visiting card."

In the Mizuto clan's territory, Mizuto Mon Yan was sitting in his study, thinking hard about how to break the impasse.

At this moment, a tribesman suddenly came out of the door, holding something that looked like a letter.

"Better greetings?"

Mizuto Menyan was stunned. He had never seen such a thing before, but since it was sent by the Uchiha people, he had to check it carefully.

Mizuto Menen took it and then saw the name Uchiha Shisui.

"Uchiha Shisui wants to come and visit?"

In this year, Uchiha Shisui has only visited the Mito clan twice. Once was during the New Year when he brought gifts, but he did not succeed in entering the clan.

Another time, the day before yesterday, Shisui led his men to surround the entire Mitomon clan territory, and then issued an order to blockade the clan territory.

"He has already won the game. The position of Godaime will most likely be his. What's the point of him coming to me at this time?"

Mizutomon En was puzzled. His relationship with Shisui was not good enough to meet privately. Especially since the other party actually wanted to go deep into the Mizutomon clan's territory, it was a bit too much of a disregard for them.

The tribesmen around him heard this and asked quietly: "Should we reject them?"

"No need. They are the ones who came to their house, not us. They are not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"

Mitomon Yan thought about the recent events and felt a little irritated. He scolded and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Go and report to Uchiha. I will wait for him in the clan. Also, call back all the jonin in the clan and ambush them. They will listen to my orders."

The people from the Anbu are definitely unreliable, so at this time only people from the clan can be used. As for the Utsune clan, Mito Kado En hesitated for a moment and still did not plan to notify the other party.

"Don't let outsiders know about this."

"Yes!"

"Don't push yourself. You're too young. Overtraining will hurt your body. Move slowly. I'll watch you."

In the Uchiha clan's territory, Shisui was currently conducting combat training with Itachi in his backyard.

Itachi's strength improved rapidly, but his body was his biggest weakness. He was too young and not fully developed, which resulted in Itachi's chakra and physical strength being unable to support him in long-term combat.

While fighting with Itachi, Shisui gently pointed out his mistakes. Itachi listened to Shisui's advice and kept adjusting his body. He was like a huge sponge, absorbing all the moisture around him.

After a while, Itachi gradually couldn't keep up with Shisui's movements and subconsciously opened his Sharingan.

"You opened your eyes too early. The burden on your Sharingan is too great. Unless you have to, do not use these eyes for the time being."

If it were before, Shisui would also think that the sooner he opened his eyes, the better, but after some reminders from Orochimaru, he realized that even for the Uchiha, the Sharingan could still be a burden.

If their physique is not strong enough, the Yintun Chakra will erode their flesh and even cause blood disease.

Itachi was very obedient and immediately closed his Sharingan. However, without the motion capture ability bestowed by the Sharingan, Itachi found it increasingly difficult to keep up with Shisui's movements.

But Shisui had anticipated this and kept attacking at a maximum speed, making it difficult for Itachi to defend against all of his attacks and making his life feel in danger at all times, but he would not be defeated immediately.

Until one moment, Shisui knocked away Itachi's short blade and put the knife at his neck.

Itachi stood there in a daze, and when he came to his senses he stared at Shisui, and the two of them then made the seal of reconciliation.

"Brother Shisui is really too much~"

Itachi said suddenly, Shisui tilted his head, not understanding why Itachi suddenly said that.

"I was not allowed to use the Sharingan, but Shisui-san used it anyway. That's too much~"

"Eh? Uh, haha. I am doing this so that I can control the game more calmly and avoid hurting you accidentally."

"Really?"

Shisui nodded and smiled awkwardly. Actually, it was not like that. He could still control this kind of game. He was simply used to opening the Sharingan during battle.

"Of course, but Itachi is making rapid progress. I believe it won't be long before he surpasses me and becomes the top Uchiha master."

Shisui quickly changed the subject and said while patting the back of Itachi's head.

Itachi said a little sheepishly: "Brother Shisui is the real genius."

The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

"Chief, someone from Mitomon has secretly entered the clan territory to report back. The Mitomon advisor will be waiting for you inside the clan."

As the two were chatting, Jinhuo suddenly came over to inform them.

"Then you go ahead and do your work, Brother Shisui. I'll go find my father."

Seeing Jinhuo coming, Itachi suddenly remembered that he still had to deliver lunch to his father at noon, so he quickly spoke.

"Go ahead, I'll find you later."

"Hmm~"

After Itachi left, Shisui thought for a moment and then instructed Kinkade, "Notify Kyohei to bring a team and follow me to the Mitomon clan territory tonight."

"Just one team?"

Jinhuo screwed up his face and looked at Shisui with some worry.

Shisui smiled gently and said softly, "Don't worry, we are going to make a deal with the Mitomon assistant today. They won't fight, so the smaller the movements, the better. We don't need so many people."

"This"

Jinhuo is not very old, but he is not stupid either. When he heard Shisui say this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"But we have offended the Mito clan a lot in this period of time. We have accumulated so much hatred. If we only send five people, what if they want to cheat?"

Shisui had already thought it through, and after hearing this, he looked at Jinhuo and slowly explained: "It is true that we have conflicts with the Mito clan, but in the final analysis, the conflict between us has not penetrated into every member of the clan, and it is not a life-and-death relationship.

Assistant Mitomon is a smart man, but he doesn't have his own opinions. As long as I explain the pros and cons, he will consider it carefully. "

Even if Mitomon En cannot make a decision immediately, as long as he hesitates, he will actually lean towards Shisui.

However, Shisui didn't say much. He left after giving a brief explanation.

"Master Shisui, please."

That night, Shisui brought Uchiha Kyohei and three others to the Mitomon clan's territory. The people of the Mitomon clan had been waiting for him there for a long time. When they saw them coming, they welcomed them in respectfully.

Shisui nodded upon seeing this. This was actually the first time he was invited into the Mito clan's territory.

As he expected, the people of the Mito clan had some resentment towards the Uchiha, but it was not hatred.

However, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to him if he could convince both assistants. Unfortunately, the conflict between Utane and Uchiha is becoming more and more intense, and Utane Koharu is not a rational person, so one of them must be eliminated.

With this thought in mind, Shisui and his companions, led by the Mizutomon clan members, slowly came to the residence of Mizutomon Yan.

They entered the courtyard and came to the door of Mitomon's study. Shisui turned around and looked at Kyohei and the other three and said, "You guys wait here. I'll be back soon."

"Yes."

After saying that, Shisui walked into the study alone. As soon as he entered, he saw Mizuto Menen looking up at him.

"Assistant Yan."

Shisui's face was gentle and his words were respectful, without any of his usual aggressiveness.

"sit down."

Seeing this, Mizuto Menyan's expression eased a little, but he didn't seem to want to argue too much with Shisui, and asked directly: "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about suddenly?" Shisui smiled gently and put his hand into his arms.

With just one movement, several figures immediately walked out from the darkness, with long swords placed on Shisui's neck.

Shisui's face was calm and he kept moving, as if he was unaware of the people surrounding him.

Mizuto Menen looked at Shisui's performance and was amazed. A saying that is now circulating among the ninja clans suddenly came to his mind.

If I had a son, I would hope he would be like Uchiha Shisui.

However, Mizuto Menyan thought further. He remembered Uchiha Kagami, who was from the same school as him.

"You have such a grandson, how enviable!"

Looking at Shisui's face, Mizuto Menen looked a little dazed. After a moment, he waved away the people surrounding Shisui.

Shisui took out the documents in his arms at the right time and placed them in front of Mitomon En's desk.

"This is."

Mizuto Menyan was puzzled and took it and read it carefully.

Just one glance and his face changed drastically!

When the Third Hokage was in good health and still able to manage Konoha, Mito Kado En had been helping him deal with financial affairs.

As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. As a consultant and in a high position, he will naturally give feedback to his family.

Under his arrangement, many members of the Mito clan entered these departments to help manage Konoha's finances.

Although large-scale transactions require the seal of three generations, they can still make decisions on some small matters, especially tax matters within Konoha.

However, such departments are bound to breed corruption.

Mizuto Menyan has always known this, but after all, it is his own family, and compared with medical care and other aspects, what they can get is nothing, so he has always turned a blind eye.

The Mitomon family also grew little by little because of this.

But when these things were laid out in the open, Mizuto Menyan's composure was shattered.

He suddenly looked up at Shisui, horrified.

It lists in detail the transactions between his people and the merchants in the village.

Extorting bribes, concealing tax returns, and embezzling public funds
One item after another, one stroke after another.

He knew very well that once this information was leaked, the Mitomon family would immediately lose their reputation. Not only that, the police department could also take the opportunity to intervene and arrest all the high-level members of the Mitomon family, including him.

There was no need for the police department to even take action, the anger of those civilian ninjas was enough to overwhelm the entire Mitomon family.

The front is tight, the back is tight.
In just a few breaths, Mito Menyan's clothes were soaked with sweat. His hands were trembling slightly, but Shisui smiled and took out another document from his arms.

"Assistant Yan, let's take a look. This document doesn't contain that many secrets."

Seeing that Mito Kado En was a little hesitant, Shisui spoke in a gentle voice.

Mizuto Menyan frowned when he heard this, knowing that he couldn't avoid it after all, so he had to take the document and look at it again.

Shisui hadn't lied to him, it was just a list.

It records all the ninjas of the Mitomon family, even those who were hidden by the family.

Among them, including Mito Kado En, there are 13 jonins, 57 chunins, and 30 genin.

The Mito clan is just a small family, and they were able to achieve this strength with his help and by continuously sucking blood from Konoha over the years.

In addition to their ranks and names, the document also includes the approximate locations of these people, whether they are in Konoha or on various defense lines.

"what do you mean?"

Mizutomon En was breathing rapidly, a little angry and humiliated. Shisui first provided evidence and then provided a list of names. Was this to indicate that he could capture all the ninjas of the Mizutomon family at any time?

Compared to Mitomon Yan's anger, Shisui seemed much calmer. He said calmly, "Advisor Yan and my grandfather were both disciples of the Nidaime. I heard that you two have always had a good relationship. According to seniority, I should call you Grandpa Yan."

Shisui didn't answer, but instead brought up the past.

Mito Kado En was stunned, looked at Shisui deeply, calmed down, then nodded and said: "Yes, I have always had a good relationship with Jing. Logically speaking, if you, the junior, want to do something, I, as an elder, should help you, but..."

“Every family has its own difficulties, and I can understand that.

After all, the Uchiha family did do a lot of stupid things in the past, but we can't just focus on one wrong thing and nail an entire family to the pillar of shame. We have to give them a chance to correct their mistakes.

Today, Konoha is facing many crises both inside and outside, and the ninja world is in turmoil. Although I am not talented, I know that there is no home without a village. My family and I are willing to contribute our humble efforts and risk our lives for the survival of Konoha with other families and clans.

Today, the Jonin Conference is imminent. The position of Hokage is not something I really want, but I have to fight for it for the sake of the village and the family. I have no other intention in visiting you today, I just want to express my heartfelt love for the village.

If he succeeds by chance one day, I only hope that Advisor Yan can put aside the hatred for the sake of my grandfather and move forward together with Shisui and Konoha."

After saying this, Shisui bowed, stood up after a long time and looked at Mito Kado En sincerely.

Mizuto Menen's expression was extremely complicated. After all, he had lived for so many years, and he understood most of what Shisui said.

He looked at Shisui and felt more and more jealous of Uchiha Kagami. How could such a good grandson not be his?

He closed his eyes for a long time, sighed, and said, "I understand, you can go back."

Although he didn't agree to anything, Shisui smiled gently, "In that case, Shisui will leave first. Grandpa Yan should rest early."

After saying that, he turned and left the study. The four people who had been staying in the yard immediately came forward and left together.

In the study, Mizuto Menyan couldn't help but hold his forehead as he looked at the two documents on the table.

"Uchiha Shisui, are you here to ask the clan leader for help at tomorrow's Jonin meeting? He seems easy to talk to."

Several ninjas who had been hiding in the study slowly walked out. Among them was a middle-aged man who was the successor of the Mitomon clan, Mitomon Nagi.

He came to Mizuto Menyan and asked curiously.

Mizuto Menyan glanced at him, feeling speechless, then waved away the other people and handed him the documents.

"What is this? A gift?"

Mizuto Mennagi became interested, picked up the document and took a quick look, then her face turned pale instantly.

"This, this, this"

"Do you like it? It's a gift from Uchiha."

Mitomonaga smiled awkwardly, quickly put it down, then looked outside the yard and said, "Since they found out this, why don't they just keep them here."

Mizuto Menen shook his head. Although he thought he was quite strong, he knew that he was no match for Shisui after being trapped in an illusion by Shisui's gaze.

on the other hand
"Tomorrow is the Jonin meeting, so don't make any noise. The Uchiha won't do anything to us."

Mizutomon Yan was in a complicated mood and didn't explain too much. After Mizutomon Nagi left, he sighed and said, "Shall we move forward together?"

At the same time, fifty miles away from Konoha, in a luxurious convoy, Danzo looked towards the direction of Konoha with a slight smile on his face.

"The position of the fifth generation is still mine after all."
