Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 165 Planning and Leaving the Village

"Brother Shisui has been getting busier and busier since becoming Hokage. This is his first year as clan leader, but he can't even host the annual meeting."

In the Uchiha clan's territory, in the evening, after receiving the ninjas from various clans who came to visit, Shisui stuffed a big red envelope into each of Itachi and Sasuke, who arrived last, and then, after covering themselves up a little, he took the two of them out of the clan's territory and walked towards the street.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed since Shisui became Hokage. During these seven days, Shisui had been busy familiarizing himself with the work of various institutions in Konoha and understanding the situations in various countries. Even the annual meeting was hosted by the Grand Elder.

Not having time is one thing, but the main reason is that he has become the Hokage, and the identity of the Hokage is not suitable for participating in family-style activities, which will cause a series of problems.

Shisui had not considered it to this extent, but Yan Shifan reminded him again and again, so he had to give up.

"Hahaha, it seems like I've had very little time to relax since I became the clan leader. No wonder Uncle Fu Yue gave up the position of clan leader to me so easily. Now he can guide you in your training every day. He really has bad intentions~"

Shisui walked in front of the two men, and upon hearing this he couldn't help but think of the previous miserable clan leader.

"Dad has no bad intentions~"

Sasuke, being led by Itachi, spoke upon hearing this.

Itachi and Shisui were stunned, and they looked at Sasuke. Shisui smiled and said, "Sasuke is more cheerful than before. Is it because of Naruto?"

When Shisui became the Hokage, the restrictions between the Uchiha and the Jinchuriki were naturally lifted.

After all, all the Uchiha had become Hokage, and no one thought that they would release the Nine-Tails again to destroy Konoha.

Among them, Yan Shifan, after understanding the power of the Jinchūriki, even suggested to Shisui that he should take him into the clan territory, and if possible, it would be best to adopt him as an adopted son.

Shisui naturally refused, but with his arrangement, Naruto and Sasuke could interact freely.

Of course, Naruto's identity is still top secret, and protection work cannot be neglected.

Itachi thought about it carefully, then nodded and responded: "The two of them have a good relationship, and they may become very good friends in the future."

"Who, who is friends with that guy? He's dirty, I don't want to be friends with him. If I didn't feel sorry for him, I wouldn't play with him!"

Sasuke's cheeks turned red and he immediately retorted loudly, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"That's the Godaime-sama, right?"

Thanks to active publicity from all parties, the appearance of Shisui had already been known to the villagers. After noticing Shisui, they all cast passionate glances at him.

Seeing this, Shisui had no choice but to take off his scarf, revealing his whole face, smiling gently, and greeting everyone enthusiastically.

"Really, Godaime-sama! He's greeting me!"

"Go away, Lord Hokage is clearly greeting me!"

"Where, where? Why can't I see it?"

"Don't push, don't push, let me take a look~"

"Hokage-sama, you don't have a girlfriend yet, right? I have a younger sister~"

The crowd soon became excited. Shisui had always had a good reputation, and everyone had a good impression of the young Hokage. Moreover, Shisui seemed easy to get along with, so everyone's desire to talk grew stronger. However, as they talked, the topic deviated a little.

Shisui's expression froze, and he stopped waving his hands. He quickly opened his mouth to change the subject, and then took some effort to get away from the crowd.

"It's really hard to be a Hokage~"

Itachi sighed quietly and made up his mind not to become Hokage.

Sasuke didn't take it seriously. Instead, he looked around, not knowing what he was looking for.

Shisui smiled awkwardly, patted the back of Itachi's head and said, "This shows that everyone welcomes me, which is a good thing."

Itachi did not reject Shisui's actions, but rather enjoyed them. However, Sasuke was a little unhappy and hugged Itachi's arms tightly.

Seeing this, Shisui also touched Sasuke's head.

Sasuke looked up, feeling a little strange.

The three of them continued walking, but with such a small accident happening, it was obviously impossible for them to continue shopping, so they simply went straight to the Akimichi BBQ restaurant.

The money from Kamimura Takeshi has been delivered this morning. The clan has become much richer now, but they have not yet decided what to spend the money.

The boss recognized Shisui and helped him find a quiet spot.

"Assistant Huo Shifan asked me to inform you that the person who will visit the Daimyo in the capital has been chosen and needs your confirmation."

The three of them had just sat down and before all the food was served, someone from the Anbu came over stealthily and whispered.

Upon hearing this, Shisui subconsciously prepared to get up and deal with it, but suddenly noticed Itachi's resentful look.

Shisui then remembered that he had stood up Itachi too many times.

Fortunately, the two of them had already discussed the list, so there wouldn't be too much difference. After hesitating for a moment, Shisui said, "Let's follow the list determined by the teacher and let them leave as soon as possible."

".yes."

The Anbu people left, Itachi knew that Shisui stayed because of them, but said a little embarrassedly: "Village matters are more important, Shisui brother can go and deal with them first, we have nothing to do here."

Hearing Itachi say this, Shisui felt even more guilty and quickly said, "It's okay, it's just a few small things, it won't have any impact."

As he said that, Shisui took the tools from the boss and started grilling for the two of them.

The pork belly sizzles on the grill, and after being coated with the special sauce, it immediately emits a unique aroma, with a slight stimulation, salty fragrance with a sweet aftertaste, which makes your mouth water.

The pork belly is fat and lean with clear texture. Zhishui is already very familiar with the control of the heat. After the pork belly is roasted, it is golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a slight sheen of oil. The oil is intertwined with the sauce, not too much and not too little, just right.

Shisui shared it with the two of them, then asked confidently with a smile, "Try it, how does it taste?"

Itachi blew on Sasuke's food before taking small bites of his own portion. As soon as he put the barbecue in his mouth, Itachi looked at Shisui in surprise.

"good to eat!"

"Haha, that's good, it seems my skills haven't deteriorated!" Shisui smiled happily, and then thought of Sima Yi again.

"I wonder how Grandpa is doing over there?"

But he soon had no time to think about Sima Yi.

After seeing Sasuke devouring the grilled meat in big mouthfuls, Shisui was about to continue grilling the meat, but he immediately noticed another ANBU coming into the store.

The ANBU man whispered in Shisui's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The people guarding the fox have been attacked. The enemy has been repelled. It is suspected to be the work of Danzo. The assistant hopes that you can go back and deal with it."

The fox refers to the nine-tailed fox.

Shisui frowned, Danzo actually wanted to attack Naruto, that was crazy, did he think he was an Uchiha?
Before Shisui could react, another ANBU came hurriedly over, this one was from the family.

His words were short, but they made Shisui's expression freeze instantly and his mood sank to the bottom.

"Uchiha Pan is dead."

Itachi saw Shisui's expression and knew that this must be a big deal. He looked around and whispered, "Brother Shisui, go take care of the village's affairs first. We can have barbecue together later when we have time."

Shisui sighed, his eyes filled with heaviness and guilt, "Sorry, Itachi, I'll definitely do it next time."

After that, Shisui led the Anbu to the Hokage building.

"what happened?"

As soon as he entered the office, Shisui saw Uemura Takeshi who was sent to Tōkaidō and three Chunins from the clan. They did not hide anything and told him the whole story. They were sad but also a little shocked. They did not expect that the head of their clan would become Hokage.

Shisui frowned and asked, "Have you found any information about this person?"

Yan Shifan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Kakuzu is a bounty hunter. Last time we got news, someone was using Sarutobi Shinnosuke's body to exchange for money at the gold exchange. That person was him."

Shisui suddenly realized and remembered this incident, then felt deeply regretful.

When he got the news before, Hui did say that the other party had set his sights on another bounty target, probably a wandering ninja who was short of money. However, there were many things happening inside and outside the clan at that time, so he did not let anyone investigate further. He did not expect that a moment of thought would lead to the death of Pan and leave no trace of his body.

"If I had known this earlier."

Shisui sighed in frustration, but before he could finish, he heard Yan Shifan shout, "Hokage-sama, what should we do now?"

Shisui immediately realized that he was the Hokage now and this was the Hokage building, how could he say such a thing?
So he immediately calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Find him! He dared to enter the Land of Fire to kill Konoha ninjas. We must not let him go!"

Shisui was always gentle, but he would never show mercy to an enemy like this.

If this had happened two months ago, Shisui would have had no choice but to accept it, but now sending the family ninjas away from the village was a matter of just a word from him.

"Have Gongping organize people to search for his location. Report promptly after finding it. Do not act rashly."

Although the intelligence has been obtained, the opponent's strength is obviously not weak. He plans to send an elite team of ninjas to surround and kill the opponent directly after confirming the opponent's whereabouts.

"Yes!"

Everyone took action immediately. Shisui no longer had the mood to eat. He stayed in the Hokage Building to finish the remaining matters and then went back to rest.

The next day, after Yan Shifan had arranged everything, he said to Zhishui: "We have almost understood the affairs of each department. It is time to consider the future arrangements."

"Teacher said, 'Planning is the key to success, and lack of planning leads to failure.' I have made some plans recently, and I would like to ask the teacher to help me take a look."

Although Pan’s case is sad, we still have to do what needs to be done.

"tell me the story."

"The long-term plan includes the reform of the ninja school and the financial changes of the village. The immediate thoughts are mainly about personnel changes and the handling of Danzo and Utatane Koharu."

Due to limited time, Shisui did not have too many detailed ideas, only a rough outline, but Yan Shifan was able to guess a general idea based on Shisui's personality.

"That's a good idea, but some of these things can wait. The most urgent thing is to deal with the family affairs first."

"Family matters?"

Zhishui was stunned and looked at Yan Shifan in confusion.

"You just became the Hokage, but you didn't solve the family's hidden dangers."

Yan Shifan said with a serious expression: "The Uchiha still controls the police department, and their power is too great, and their reputation among the people is not good. It doesn't matter if you are the Hokage today, but if the position of Hokage falls to an outsider or a civilian in the future, these things will be brought up again, and such a family will be suppressed again."

Shisui's heart tightened, and suddenly he understood.

"Thank you for the reminder, teacher. I was careless!"

They had wanted to overhaul the police department before, but never had the chance.

"Your family is the foundation of your life, you must value it, but you are also the Hokage, you must not let other ninjas think you are biased. If you can't keep this balance, it will frustrate people and easily cause dissatisfaction."

"Thank you, teacher. I will think about it carefully."

Shisui said respectfully, grateful.

Yan Shifan nodded with satisfaction, and thought to himself: Sima Yi, Sima Yi, just stay over there, there will be no place for you here sooner or later.

Zhishui carefully sorted out the plan based on Yan Shifan's opinions, and then listed several things to do in the near future.

First, resolve the issues left over from the Police Department.

Second, re-select the Anbu.

Third, replace the teachers at the Ninja Academy.

Fourth, reorganize the Ninja Hospital and deal with Koharu Utane.

But before that, he had to go to the defense line of Tang Guo because Hui's letter had arrived and Sima Yi hoped that he could send someone to bring Erwei back to the clan for safekeeping.

After all, it is a tailed beast, so Shisui is worried about letting others go. Of course, the main reason is that he still has to go to the Land of Rice to solve Izayoi's problem.

Shisui wrote down all these things on paper and then burned them.

Putting things down on paper is half the work done.

Zhishui thought he was far inferior to Sima Yi and Yan Shifan, but after writing it down, he still felt relieved that he had a clear direction.

"Teacher, Konoha's affairs are now in your hands. If you encounter something you can't handle, you can look for Uncle Fugaku. It will take half a month at most, or seven days at least. I will be back as soon as possible."

Shisui was a man of action. After making a plan, he arranged things that night. After leaving behind a shadow clone, he prepared to leave Konoha with four elite jonin guards.

Shisui originally wanted to go alone, which would be faster, but was rejected by Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan even scolded him harshly: "As the Hokage, the safety of Konoha and the survival of the family all depend on you. How can you take risks alone? This is unwise. When did Sima Gong teach you this?"

Yan Shifan and Sima Yi agree on Shishui's safety. It's not good that Shishui has never realized his own importance!

Shisui was speechless and had to take a team of guards with him.

"Go ahead, be careful, and save your life first."

Yan Shifan had no choice but to give instructions again, and after Shisui agreed, he secretly left Konoha with a few people.

A few days later, at the Yunoku Defense Line, as time passed, the news that Shisui became Hokage also reached here.

Everyone's eyes towards Uchiha suddenly changed, Jiraiya was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that Uchiha Shisui could actually become Hokage.

It's not that he doubted the other party's ability. The two had talked before and he was quite optimistic about Shisui.

However, the other party was an Uchiha after all, and the fact that he could become Hokage at such a young age after being suppressed was beyond his expectations.

"I remember that Mr. Yi was the grandfather recognized by Shisui. Hahaha, he is worthy of being Mr. Yi to be able to teach a ninja like Shisui."

Inside the tent, both sides had been quiet for a while due to the previous defeat of Kumogakure, and during this time Jiraiya often talked with Sima Yi, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Sima Yi's erudition earned him great respect from Ziraiya.

"It's just a chance acquaintance, but Shisui is already excellent, and his achievement has little to do with me."

Sima Yi smiled and said modestly.

Jiraiya knew that the other party was modest and did not dwell on it too much. The two of them quickly talked about the Hokage, the village, and then about Ninjutsu. Then they talked about Jiraiya's travels, and then about the future of the Ninja world.
Late at night, Jiraiya left Sima Yi's tent with a lot of gains.

"Uncle Yi!"

After Jiraiya left, Hui poked his head in, then carefully came to Sima Yi and whispered a few words.

"Oh?"

Sima Yi's eyes changed, he slowly stood up and said, "Let's go!"
