Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 162: Boring Work in the Hokage Building
The Jonin meeting was over, and the news that Uchiha Shisui would pass the election and become the fifth Hokage of Konoha quickly spread throughout Konoha with the efforts of all parties.

The Uchiha clan was in a state of complete excitement. The clan members dropped the work in their hands and subconsciously walked towards Shisui's residence. They excitedly discussed this topic with those around them.

"Did the clan leader really become Hokage?"

"We Uchiha have a Hokage now, that's great, I knew it, I knew it!"

"Shisui-sama is such a good man he should have been the Hokage a long time ago. That's great, that's great!"

Great, great.

Countless emotions turned into admiration and converged in one direction.

At the same time, in the ancestral hall to the west of the clan’s land.

Itachi was training under Fugaku's guidance, and next to him was a food box that Itachi brought, which contained lunch for the two of them.

"Take a break and eat first."

Fugaku said after checking the time.

"Okay, Dad."

Fugaku looked at Itachi, who was sweating profusely, with a rare gentle expression on his face. After staying in the ancestral hall for a year, without so many worries and being able to interact with his family frequently, Fugaku's personality changed a little, he looked a little more plump, and the relationship between father and son became much closer.

"You are making rapid progress, but Shisui's advice is correct. You are too young, and excessive training will only backfire. The situation in the clan does not require you to contribute. Shisui is very good, and you have to believe that he can solve these problems."

"I understand, Dad. I will take care of my health."

Since his brother Shisui and his father had both instructed him so, Itachi naturally wouldn't do anything rash.

As they talked, they laid out the food in the food box. Fugaku was also hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and put his hands together, ready to enjoy his meal. Suddenly, a group of people ran up to him from the other side of the shrine, knocked the chopsticks out of his hand, and then complained, "You're still in the mood to eat? Shisui has become Hokage!"

The people who came were the former elders who were imprisoned in the ancestral hall together with Fugaku.

They are not young anymore and have nothing else to do every day except chatting, basking in the sun and finding out news from the outside world.

Although they were imprisoned here, they were once elders and had many subordinates, so they soon learned the news that Shisui became Hokage, and then hurried to tell Fugaku.

Fugaku was stunned, his serious expression revealed a hint of confusion, and he subconsciously asked: "Who?"

"Shisui, Shisui! He became the Fifth Hokage. Hahahaha, I really didn't misjudge him back then. It was worth it that I supported him to become the clan leader!"

"You're talking nonsense. It was me who supported him to become the clan leader!"

"Who do you think you are? Not only did I support him becoming the clan leader, I also supported his reforms!"

As they talked, they started arguing, and then they pushed each other and started fighting.

Fugaku's face darkened after hearing this. Why do these people always step on him?
But he was also curious, so he simply took the chopsticks from Itachi and said, "Itachi, go and take a look."

Itachi knew some of the inside story and was mentally prepared, but he was also a little excited.

"Okay Dad, I'll go right away!"

Itachi stood up and left in an instant, heading out of the clan's territory.

At this time, the news that Shisui was about to become Hokage had further fermented, and the entire Konoha was filled with a new meaning.

"The Fifth Generation Election is over. I heard it was Uchiha Shisui. I've met that kid before. He's a very nice person. It's almost New Year, so let's take this opportunity to buy some new clothes for the family to celebrate."

"We finally have a Hokage. The village should be stable now. I'm going to take my family out for a nice meal today to celebrate."

"The fifth generation has been confirmed. Do I need to make up for the promotion test? I want to take part in the Chunin exam, boohoo~"

Countless topics and questions surrounding the Fifth Hokage arose in Konoha Village.

Shisui however was completely unaware of this, after the Hokage was chosen at the Jonin Council, everything else was rushed through and quickly concluded.

Everyone left, and Shisui and Yan Shifan came to the Hokage Building under the leadership of Mito Kado En.

"Although you have been recognized by the Jonin Council, you are not yet a true Hokage. You still need the Daimyo's approval."

The recognition of the daimyo is just a ceremony, but it must be there eventually, otherwise it would be inappropriate.

"I understand. I will take care of the Daimyo's affairs."

As for the name, the two of them only talked briefly and didn't mention it again.

Although the daimyo supported Danzo, he was no longer a young man who would act on impulse, and when the outcome of Konoha was already determined, he would not embarrass the future fifth generation over such a matter.

The real trouble is yet to come.

"Recently, Xiaochun and I have been handling the affairs of the village, but due to some reasons, a lot of things have piled up. These tasks are numerous and complicated, and the handover may take some time. You can start with the Anbu first."

Anyway, he had already joined the Uchiha clan, and after going through the period of confusion, Mito Menyan felt a lot more relaxed and did not hide anything.

Shisui followed Mito Kado En's gaze and saw piles of documents piled up like a mountain, much taller than him, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"There is no rush to hand over the work of Hokage. Spread the news first, and then summon the ninjas from various departments."

Yan Shifan reminded that apart from military affairs, Konoha was ultimately just a small county with a population of 300,000. The affairs of a county were easy for him to handle, and the most important thing right now was to confirm his status.

Shisui also reacted, nodded and said, "Then please trouble Consultant Yan to help me gather the people in the building first."

Mizuto Menen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. Shisui still called him consultant, which meant that the other party did not intend to find someone to replace him. At least there was a guarantee.

"Yes."

Mizuto Menen lowered his head, then turned and left.

"Teacher, after your status is confirmed, you should be able to control the army, right?"

Both Yan Shifan and Sima Yi had talked about these things, and Zhishui still remembered them.

"Yes, I have notified Kyohei to lead the team here. They will temporarily serve as the Anbu. As for the original Anbu members, call them over first."

In addition to the Anbu, there are also the police force, medical force, interrogation force, education department, barrier force and the root.

Konoha is originally a military base, and each department is related to the military.

These are what Shisui will understand and control one by one next.

However, Shisui has much greater advantages than the Fourth Generation. He has the support of the entire Uchiha. Once he passes the selection, he will be able to form his own Anbu, and his work will be much easier in the future.

"Teacher, do you think Danzo and the others should be dealt with immediately?"

Yan Shifan shook his head, "You are already the Hokage. You need a name and timing to do anything. Although we have evidence in our hands now, we have just entered the Hokage building. If we act immediately, it will inevitably give those people the impression that we are vindictive.

Let's save their lives for now and send someone to keep an eye on them. The most urgent task is still to control the power of the various departments of Konoha and secure our position."

"What the teacher said is right, I understand."

Shisui nodded, thinking it over.

As he was speaking, Kyohei had already arrived with his men. Behind him, in addition to the Uchiha ninjas, there were also people sent by other ninja clans who had defected to the Uchiha.

After all, the Uchiha clan needed someone to watch over it. After seeing the future that the panel showed him, Shisui had always been concerned about the protection of the clan's land. "Godaime-sama!"

Kyohei was a little excited, he didn't expect that Uchiha really had a Hokage. This has been the Uchiha's long-cherished wish for the past fifty years!
Finally it happened!
Not only him, all the Uchiha people behind him were extremely excited.

Shisui looked at everyone, also filled with emotion, but he did not forget the main business, first he helped Kyohei up and said softly: "I am where I am today because of your support, thank you all!"

Kyohei felt his chest getting hot, and everyone behind him, regardless of their status, was excited and said quickly, "We are willing to serve the Hokage!"

"Today is just a nomination. I have not yet been recognized by the Daimyo, so I am not a real Hokage. However, the affairs of the village must be handled. I would like to trouble you to temporarily take over the Anbu and notify the ninjas of various departments for me."

"Yes!"

Shisui explained things one by one, and then waited in the Hokage's office for the staff from various departments to arrive.

Taking advantage of this free time, Shisui looked around the room carefully. The office looked extremely messy due to the many documents piled up.

Yan Shifan also stood aside and looked at it. If someone had arranged such a messy office for him in his previous life, he would have killed that person long ago.

However, people have a strong ability to adapt. After a few months, he has already gotten used to this new and shabby place.

"Konoha is just a military camp of 300,000 people. The most important thing is the military and finance. For other matters, just find some paperwork to handle them and give them to you for review. Don't waste too much time on these things."

Seeing Shishui walk over to the pile of documents and look through them, Yan Shifan frowned and said.

Shisui paused and responded, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I will pay attention to it."

As the two were talking, Mito Menyan knocked on the door and came in with some people.

After all, the Hokage Building is an extremely important building. It is impossible that there are only Hokage and Anbu in it. There are many people working here, such as those who are responsible for receiving and issuing tasks, those who are responsible for document sorting and transportation, and so on.

However, Shisui did not give them any special instructions. He just briefly introduced himself to them, gave them a few words of encouragement, and let them leave.

Next came the Anbu people.

They were originally guarding the Sarutobi clan's territory, but they knew the result of the Hokage selection earlier than others, so they rushed here early, but since the Hokage did not summon them, they had to wait nearby.

Now, after receiving the notification from Uchiha Kyohei, the four Anbu captains immediately entered the Hokage Building. One of them had conspicuous silver hair, and it was Hatake Kakashi.

Shisui was very familiar with these people, even though they were wearing masks.

"Lord Godaime!"

After they came in, they immediately saluted. They were the Hokage's direct guards and their purpose of existence was to protect the Hokage, so they did not have any rejection mentality.

"Xiang, you lead the others to continue the mission of protecting the Third Generation."

"Yes!"

"Zhu, take your men to complete some of the special tasks that the Anbu has accumulated during this period of time."

"Yes!"

"Que, take your men to contact the defense lines of all parties and obtain intelligence. I want to understand the surrounding situation, especially what is happening in the north."

"Yes!"

"As for Kakashi, you will stay here for the time being and be responsible for the training of ANBU candidates."

"Yes"

Kakashi looked up at Shisui, the Uchiha actually having a Hokage reminded him of a friend.

After explaining the affairs of the Anbu, people from other troops soon arrived one after another.

Ibiki Morino from the interrogation department, Mei Utane from the medical department, Inoichi Yamanaka from the barrier department, Uchiha Inahime from the police department, Motobu Kishi from the education department, and Suzaku Nara, the leader of the jounin squad.

As for Danzo of the Root, Shisui did not let anyone notify him, and he believed that he would not come.

In fact, Utatane Koharu didn't want Utatane Meimi to come, but today was Shisui's first day entering the Hokage building. If Utatane Meimi didn't come, it would be clear that she was going against the new Hokage, and Shisui would have a reason to take action directly.

They were not Shisui's match before he became Hokage, and how could they compete with him after he became Hokage? For the future of the family, they had no choice but to compromise.

"Lord Hokage!"

Mei Utane was very humble and half-knelt down with the others.

Shisui just glanced at her and stopped looking at her, not targeting her specifically, which made Utane Meimi breathe a sigh of relief.

"All departments can continue to operate according to past practices. The village is in a state of disrepair and there are many things to do. Thank you for your hard work."

With Yan Shifan's reminder, Zhishui did not interfere too much. After talking with each person separately to understand some basic work of each department, he let them perform their duties and continue to maintain it.

After this group of people left, Shisui met many more people, and while they were talking, it was almost evening before they knew it.

When Shisui was free, he saw Mizuto Menyan and Yan Shifan sitting aside, chatting in low voices.

"Next, I have to meet with the daimyo's envoy. I still have to deal with the daimyo properly."

Even though the relationship between the two sides is slightly discordant, Konoha still cannot do without the Daimyo for the time being.

After talking for the whole afternoon, Shisui hadn't even had lunch yet. His mind was a little slow at the moment, so he subconsciously asked, "After the daimyo's envoy, who else do you want to see?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shifan glanced at Mitomon Yan, and then said, "I heard that the Sandaime has woken up, we should go meet him."

Shisui suddenly came to his senses after hearing this, and said in a daze: "Teacher reminded me that it is time to go meet the Third Generation Master."

The replacement of the old with the new is inevitable, and meeting the third generation once can also comfort the old people trained by the third generation.

Shisui has always been a man of action, and soon after he came up with an idea, he met with the daimyo's envoy.

Facing Shisui, who had been appointed as the Hokage, the daimyo's envoy was very well-behaved and did not show any dissatisfaction in his conversation.

He even tried his best to praise Shisui as a young hero, and was highly respected by Daimyoji.

Shisui always responded gently, modestly and politely, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, but the topics of conversation between the two were meaningless, it was just a purely polite and procedural meeting.

After the meeting, the daimyo's envoy left Konoha overnight with some ninja guards.

"They left without saying goodbye. It seems they are very unhappy with us. Send someone to follow them and make sure nothing happens to them."

"Yes!"

Yan Shifan and Shisui were on their way to the Sarutobi clan's territory, and couldn't help but laugh when they learned that the other had left.

"Teacher, do you think something will happen to them?"

"Something might happen."

Shisui was stunned for a moment, then reacted and praised: "Teacher is really thoughtful."

"Hahaha, let's go, the Sarutobi tribe's land is ahead."
