Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 16: The building is about to collapse and one tree cannot support it

Koizumi Mayu laughed awkwardly. It was quite embarrassing to say this, but it was the truth.

"I only have fire-attribute chakra, so I used all the money I saved over the years to buy a few fire-style ninjutsu. The Great Fire Ball is the most proficient and powerful ninjutsu I can master."

Koizumi Satsuki knew clearly that if it were not for the war, the price of learning many ninjutsu would be lower, and given his situation, he might have to wait for a while.

"I see!"

Shisui suddenly realized. He held the information and pondered for a moment, then took out a scroll while the other party looked puzzled.

"This is the diligent training method of the B-rank ninjutsu master. I have been carrying it with me but have never had the time to learn it. I will lend it to you today when I have the chance."

Shisui wanted to give it away directly, but that gift would be too big for Koizumi Satsuki.

According to the regulations for selling ninjutsu within Konoha, ninjutsu are usually not allowed to be circulated after purchase, and even the purchaser's immediate family members are not allowed to learn it.

If you want to buy a family heirloom ninjutsu, the price will be very high.

But this scroll is different. Once given away, it will even become a family heirloom of Koizumi Satsuki!
"B-rank ninjutsu!"

Koizumi Mayu's heart was pounding and her breathing was becoming increasingly rapid.

"This subordinate has no merit, so I don't deserve such kindness from Master Shisui!"

Although he refused verbally, he couldn't take his eyes off it. For a civilian ninja like him, mastering a powerful ninjutsu could almost change his fate.

"Since you claim to be my subordinate, how can you refuse my order? Take it!"

Shisui's expression suddenly changed and he spoke firmly.

Koizumi Satsuki's pupils shrank, and her feet walked forward slowly and uncontrollably, taking the scroll from Shisui's hand, her eyes revealing complex emotions.

Shisui noticed his struggle and said, "But what you said makes sense. How about this? I'll rent the things to you, and you pay me 1,000 ryo every month until you learn it."

One thousand taels is not enough to fill your stomach with a barbecue meal, but you can acquire a B-level ninjutsu.

How could Koizumi Satsuki not understand what Shisui meant? Without hesitation, she stuffed the scroll into her arms and half-knelt on the ground to thank him.

"Thank you, Master Shisui. I will never forget your kindness. It is my honor to work under you!"

"Hurry up, I've given you the ninjutsu, but don't forget your mission."

"Yes!"

Shisui nodded with satisfaction and then simply assigned him the task before letting him leave.

Koizumi Satsuki walked out of the tent with the scroll in her arms and her head held high. Seeing her expression, everyone felt relieved.

"Koizumi, what does Lord Shisui want to talk to us about?" someone asked out of curiosity.

"This is a secret. You will know it soon. I still have to go on a mission so I won't tell you."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to leave, leaving the group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

Sima Yi stood aside and observed quietly. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Then, another ninja's name was called, and he walked into the camp with curiosity.

Shisui did the same thing. The ninjas who were willing to wait while he looked at the information were given pre-prepared scrolls, while those who were unwilling to wait were simply assigned a rotation and allowed to leave.

This went on until noon, when the last ninja left the tent ecstatically with the scroll that could change his fate, and then Sima Yi slowly walked in. "How do you feel?"

"It's very strange." Shisui did not feel happy. He carefully recalled every expression of everyone this morning.

He can easily see through their emotions, and he can use his words to manipulate other people's sorrows and joys at will.

What he showed were just a few ninjutsu, which even the Uchiha clan members rarely practiced.

Especially with the Uchiha clan's thousand-year history and heritage, these ninjutsu are just the tip of the iceberg, but they make these people ecstatic and terrified.

"What's weird?"

"It's just an ordinary ninjutsu, but it can make these people so happy. Is it difficult to obtain ninjutsu in the village?"

Sima Yi was speechless. During this period, he also learned about some of Konoha's systems from Shisui, especially the ninja school system. When he first learned about it, even he couldn't help but sigh that the second generation was a character.

After learning more about the learning content of the ninja school, he was even more impressed. The second generation is indeed a character who could actually think of using this method to train cannon fodder.

“You are standing too high, but you don’t know that knowledge is a barrier, a means of isolating and restricting the development below.

The Uchiha clan has a special bloodline and doesn't care about this, but for those secret families, the spread of ninjutsu is digging their graves and destroying their foundations."

Shisui was shocked and asked in confusion, "Is it that serious?"

In his opinion, teaching ninjutsu to these people would naturally enhance Konoha's strength if they could learn it, which is certainly a good thing!
Sima Yi waved his hand, unwilling to explain too much in case Shisui’s mind was confused again, and only instructed: “Today I just let you practice, if you return to Konoha, you must not do such a thing.

Otherwise, once discovered, the Uchiha will become the enemy of all Konoha's high-ranking officials and the ninja clan, and then we will be powerless to save the situation."

Seeing that the teacher spoke so seriously, Shisui did not dare to be careless and nodded repeatedly, "I understand, teacher, I will be careful."

"Ah."

Although they had only been in contact for less than a month, Sima Yi was still very confident in Shisui's work.

"Give me the roster of the army, and let me arrange the banquet tonight."

"It's just a banquet. Isn't it just about getting together to eat? Why do we need a roster?" Shisui certainly wouldn't refuse, and he took out the roster, but his curiosity was quicker than his hands.

"Hahaha, read more, learn more, and think more." Sima Yi laughed without explaining. He took the list and added, "Call Hui and let him help me."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Shisui with a sour look on his face.

"Why let Hui come? I'm free too."

Shisui muttered quietly, but Sima Yi had already left so he couldn't hear it.

In the evening, Sima Yi and Hui walked around the camp, commanding a group of ninjas to prepare for tonight's banquet.

"Uncle Yi, why are you making such a fuss about just one seat? You can sit wherever you want. What's the problem?"

After an entire afternoon, Uchiha Hui was exhausted. It would have been fine if he had done something meaningful, but he spent a lot of time on a ninja survey, and the purpose of the survey was just to arrange seats.

Facing Uchiha Hui's doubts, Sima Yi was very patient. He knew one thing clearly: when a building is about to collapse, a single tree cannot support it.

If Uchiha wants to save the situation, it is not enough to rely on Shisui alone. He has to help Shisui select suitable assistants for training.

And Uchiha Hui was the first person he chose!
