Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 169 Arrangements from all parties
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Shisui will not let go of this clue. Once they really find out the other party's identity, they can deal with it more calmly.

Yan Shifan nodded in agreement, but it was already late and the matter could not be rushed for the time being. They could not focus on one thing at the same time, so the two of them thought it over and went back to rest.

The next morning, Shisui returned to work, and it was time to deal with some things.

The first thing is naturally his succession ceremony. After the daimyo agrees, the succession ceremony should be held and all parties should be officially informed. In this way, the statue of the Fifth Hokage will also begin to be carved on the Hokage Rock.

Shisui sent someone to call the three advisors who were pretending to be dead at home and Nara Suzaku to the Hokage Building.

He did not remove the three from their positions, and they are still the top leaders of Konoha. However, everyone knows that they have lost their power. They are no longer advisors to the Hokage, but family heads.

As for Nara Suzaku, the team that was sent to the capital to meet the daimyo was led by him and Mito Kado En.

The four of them arrived one after another. Mito Kado En and Nara Suzaku were quite calm, but Danzo and Utane Koharu's faces were so gloomy that water could drip out of them.

Especially Danzo. Although he is still the leader of the Root organization, the Root is nothing without the Anbu. After Shisui became familiar with each department, the money and people were blocked by Shisui, which resulted in him being unable to do anything and had to retire at home.

He was already unhappy about being forced to retire, but Shisui actually asked someone to call him over, and now told him that he was wanted to discuss the Hokage's succession ceremony.

simply.
"As expected, this is a born evil Uchiha brat!"

"Boy, the succession ceremony has nothing to do with me. If you have nothing else to do, I will go back."

Danzo felt that Uchiha Shisui would definitely not release the Root. As for his family, there were only a few people left in the family. If Uchiha Shisui was not afraid of affecting his reputation, then let him do as he pleased.

After saying that, Danzo turned around and was about to leave.

Utane Koharu was secretly happy. She didn't want to come either. She also wanted to scold Uchiha Shisui, but the Utane clan was quite large, so she had to be cautious.

Seeing this, Mizuto Menyan felt complicated and didn't know how to start.

The Anbu were ready to make a move, but at that time they had not yet re-selected their members and were still temporarily replaced by ninjas within the clan. They did not care about Danzo's former status.

Shisui just smiled and said, "After all, Counselor Danzo is the Sandaime's most respected partner. I have just become Hokage, and many things in Konoha still rely on Counselor Danzo's help."

Danzo's heart skipped a beat, his eyes narrowed slightly, he turned around and looked at Shisui, as if thinking about something.

But he had just said that he would not care about the succession ceremony, and then he turned around and agreed. He couldn't help but lose face, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Shisui continued, "Although the three advisors had some conflicts with me before, after talking with the Sandaime, I understand that you are also thinking about Konoha. Now that I have become the Hokage, why don't we put aside the old grudges?"

Shisui's expression was so sincere that the three of them were stunned and couldn't believe their ears.

If it was Yan Shifan standing in front of them, they would not believe a word he said, but Shishui still had a good reputation.

Moreover, Utatane Koharu felt that what Shisui said made sense. Shisui had already become the Hokage, and it was difficult for her to protect her family in front of Shisui, let alone deal with him. If Shisui was willing to let go of the past, it would only benefit her and not harm her.

As for Danzo, he just snorted and didn't think anything of it.

"I have dedicated my entire life to Konoha. Why do I need Hiruzen to explain for me?"

Shisui paused for a moment, trying hard to keep smiling, and said again: "Then I'll leave the Hokage succession ceremony in the hands of the three of you."

Shisui was not afraid of the three people causing trouble. He made such concessions. If the other party pressed further, he would have a reason to take direct action. However, if possible, he still hoped that the other two would be more obedient as he would need them to divert hatred in the future.

After discussing some details with the three people, the time for the succession was basically decided. Due to Konoha's financial difficulties, the budget for this succession ceremony certainly could not be as grand as Yan Shifan wanted, and it mainly depended on following the procedures.

After the three left, Shisui looked at Nara Suzaku.

"The Godaime."

Seeing Shisui looking at him, Nara Suzaku stopped pretending to be dead and took the initiative to step forward and speak.

"Thank you for your trip to the capital, Suzaku-senpai. Konoha is in a period of chaos right now. With a steady person like you around, I can relax a lot. I hope you can help with the village's future affairs."

Shisui's tone was very gentle, and there was a hint of gratitude and reliance in his words. Nara Suzaku naturally understood Shisui's thoughts. What's more, the other party was already the Hokage, so who else could he help if not Shisui.

He immediately stated: "Hokage, just call me Suzaku. As a member of Konoha, this is what I should do."

"Okay, Suzaku Jounin, you will still be in charge of the Jounin class. In addition, I plan to select a new group of ninjas to join the Anbu. I'll leave these matters to you."

The Anbu is not only used to protect the Hokage, but also a distribution of interests. It is impossible for Shisui to let Uchiha people take on all the roles.

This assignment was undoubtedly a sign of trust in Nara Suzaku, which made Nara Suzaku feel relieved and he quickly accepted it.

"Yes!"

After Shisui gave some more instructions on the details, he let Nara Suzaku leave.

Then, Shisui continued to handle affairs and waited for Yan Shifan to arrive.

Near noon, Yan Shifan hurried over after finishing the work at hand.

Shisui looked at the information in his hand and asked first: "I heard that the Ninja Academy in Xihe Road has been built. What is the reaction of the nobles there?"

“I was just about to tell you that although Yamazaki Takudai is not a great noble, he has made many friends. In half a month, he has contacted most of the nobles in the entire Xihe Road. It is time for us to send teachers to teach.

However, many of these nobles want to contact us through Yamazaki Takuda."

The unique geographical location of Xihedao has destined the environment there to be chaotic.

Although the war between ninjas will not affect the nobles, that only targets the ninja villages. As for those wandering ninjas and rebellious ninjas, they don't care about the nobles.

Therefore, the continuation of the family still depends on strong military support.

"We are earning money privately to train ninjas. We must not let the daimyo know about this, let alone let other nobles know our identities."

"Don't worry, I have already assigned more people to protect Yamazaki Takuda, and he will handle these matters."

Both of them and Yamazaki Takuda were very clear about the meaning of protection, but this was definitely a good deal for Yamazaki Takuda. As long as he was willing to cooperate, his identity as a middleman could allow him to make huge profits.

"As long as he is willing to cooperate, there is no need to embarrass him."

"As for the teachers." Shisui frowned, feeling a little headache.

"Select three additional jonin from the clan, and a group of chuunin."

Although the Uchiha clan has many jonin, they cannot withstand such widespread expansion.

However, the Ninja Academy in Xihedao is more like an expanded military camp than an academy. It requires sufficient confidentiality and everything inside must not be leaked out. Therefore, before training a new batch of ninjas loyal to him in the village, Shisui cannot call on other ninjas in the village for help.

Fortunately, the Anbu selection is about to begin, and the Anbu clansmen can also take advantage of the situation to get away and help him with some things outside the village. Yan Shifan nodded, and then took out another file and handed it to Shisui.

"Here are the ninjas whose bodies were not brought back by the clan since the three wars."

Shisui opened the directory and found that the list was divided into two parts. One part was those who were confirmed dead but whose bodies could not be brought back for various reasons, and the other part was similar to those who were missing and their status could not be confirmed.

Uchiha Beifeng, Uchiha Tiannan, Uchiha Hong, Uchiha Nagaya, Uchiha Obito

One familiar or unfamiliar name after another was recorded on the list, but the list was not long. The Uchiha bodies were still very important and could be brought back in most cases.

"Uchiha Obito"

When he saw the last name, some memories came to Shisui's mind, and he couldn't help but reveal a little regret.

“Is this person very talented?”

Seeing Shisui's expression, Yan Shifan asked curiously. He remembered that Obito was not very old, and since he could make him feel sorry for him, he must have good talent.

Shisui pondered for a moment and replied, "Talent. That's secondary. But in my impression, he was a very kind person and a student of the Yondaime. If he hadn't died in the war, the Uchiha's situation might have been very different."

Yan Shifan suddenly realized that if the Fourth Hokage had not died, most of the Hokage's disciples would have been eligible to be candidates. If the Hokage himself also supported it, and with the help of the Uchiha, the chances of Uchiha Obito becoming the Fifth Hokage would be very high.

Then, Shisui told some rumors about Obito. Yan Shifan looked at Shisui and couldn't help but sighed: "It's strange that there is such a person in Uchiha."

"."

"I can't find any suspicious targets on the list yet. Please take some time to investigate carefully."

After all, the incident happened more than two years ago, and it is impossible to find out the truth overnight.

"Well, let's put this aside for now. By the way, remember to go find the Third Generation later and spread the news about the results of the treatment of those three guys."

Shisui quickly reacted and nodded, "I understand, Sensei."

At noon that day, Shisui brought his men to visit the Sarutobi clan again, and then left in a swagger.

In the afternoon, word spread that the three advisors were taking over the Hokage succession ceremony.

"That was the Sandaime's idea, I didn't expect the Sandaime to have such a huge influence on the Fifth that he actually retained their advisory status."

"This is definitely not the intention of the Fifth Generation, but the village has become like this, can't the Third Generation just recover from his injuries? Why does he have to interfere?"

The ninjas were discussing Shisui's behavior, but soon the attention of the jonin was drawn to the news of the Anbu selection.

As for the Sandaime's Anbu team, Shisui split them into two parts. Younger and more familiar ninjas like Kakashi were directly assigned to the new Anbu to handle domestic tasks together. As for the rest, although they still belonged to the Anbu, they only needed to be responsible for foreign tasks.

This way we can avoid their influence on the village.

Then, Shisui began to be busy with various things, traveling back and forth between the Hokage Building and the family every day. In addition to handling affairs, he practiced, and time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed. The succession ceremony began on the seventh day after Zhishui returned. Although Yan Shifan was not satisfied, all the necessary procedures were completed and the three did not take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Each ninja village sent people to watch the ceremony, but the daimyo did not attend. He only sent his son Enichikyuu to Konoha to congratulate.

In response, Shishui's reaction was surprisingly calm, and he didn't have much interaction with him. However, Yan Shifan personally accompanied him for two days.

As for the ANBU selection, there are rules of their own and Shisui only needs to pick from the short list.

However, Konoha has been going downhill, and the level of the Anbu has been declining with each generation. If the standards of the second generation are followed, it would not be possible to gather enough people.

Shisui had no choice but to lower the standards, and the various ninja clans also contributed, and with the Uchiha providing eight jonin, they were able to barely put together a new Anbu.

Things were proceeding in an orderly manner. With the official appearance of the new Hokage, people's minds were settled and Konoha gradually stabilized.

"Hokage-sama, the ninja school will start in two days. According to past practice, the Hokage needs to go to the ninja school to give a speech."

In the Hokage Building, Nara Suzaku stood aside holding a document and reminded.

Shisui was looking through the information about the surrounding countries collected by the Anbu, and he pushed all other trivial matters to Nara Suzaku to solve.

Upon hearing this, Shisui remembered that the Hokage also served as the principal of the Ninja School. Although the affairs of the Ninja School were generally handled by the vice-principal, this move to win the hearts of the people must not be missed, and it was time to promote the Will of Fire.

"You arrange it and remind me when the time comes."

"Yes."

That night, Shisui returned home and discussed with Yan Shifan, "Teacher, the Ninja School cannot make large-scale changes for the time being, but it is no problem to add some courses. I plan to find some teachers from the clan to tell the children of the Ninja School about the history of Konoha and spread the Will of Fire."

Yan Shifan naturally understood what Zhishui meant, and nodded immediately, saying with a serious expression: "The merits of education will benefit future generations, this is a great move!"

As long as no additional ninjutsu is taught, those ninja clans will not show up.

"Also, who do you think is more suitable to take over the police department, Yashiro, Inahime or Izayoi?"

"In terms of loyalty, Yashiro is not as good as Inahib, and in terms of personality, Izayoi has not been stable enough recently. In my opinion, Inahib is more suitable."

Zhishui nodded, Yan Shifan agreed with his idea.

"Then let's find something for Izayoi to do and have him return to Tōkaidō with Kamimura Takeshi."

Without the private salt business in Tōkaidō, the clan's income dropped drastically. Shisui couldn't even give Orochimaru much funding, so he was embarrassed to send Fugaku to transplant the first generation of cells.

Yan Shifan warned: "If you let Shizayoi leave alone, the mysterious ninja might take the opportunity to attack."

"It's okay. Although his ability is strange, it is not impossible to break it. I have already given the forbidden scroll to Izayoi. With his current ability, he can leave safely even if he is defeated.

Moreover, we will have to face that person eventually. The more times we fight, the better we will understand him, and we will be able to...
Kill him! "

When I had written 3,600 words, I wanted to ask for leave. It was not that I couldn’t finish it, but I just felt bored. What I wrote felt very boring. I didn’t know what I was writing, and I didn’t really want to continue posting more words to make up the word count. If you see that the word count is more than 4,000, it usually means that I have finished what I wanted to write and I was just forcing it to make up the word count.

But after thinking about it, I already owed a chapter, so I just gritted my teeth and finished it.

I think it’s mainly because I’ve been busy for three consecutive weeks and haven’t had time to think about the subsequent plot in detail.

My report will be finished by next Tuesday, so there shouldn’t be so much to do. I hope I can get back into shape.
